Zhenxiu upstairs and downstairs attaches great importance to this banquet. Due to the sufficient preparation in advance, the dishes were presented quickly.
First came the eight cold dishes, namely: saliva chicken, garlic white meat, sauced duck tongue, bad goose palm, cold spinach, hot and sour black fungus, cold jellyfish, seaweed shreds in red oil...
Listening to Young Master Zhou's introduction, the Taishang Emperor, who was the host and guest, tasted one by one, and nodded frequently to express his satisfaction. Suddenly, his eyes focused on the two dishes that should not have appeared on the table, they were so familiar and nostalgic.
County Magistrate Wu followed his gaze, frowned and said, "Didn't you say eight cold dishes? Why are there two more dishes?"
Zhou Zixu also saw these two dishes, and couldn't help feeling tense—isn't this the Yu's stewed vegetables he brought back from the pier? Didn't he order him to stay in his room? How did you bring it here
Thinking of the raw materials of these two dishes - pig's head and pig's ear, let alone rich and noble people, even ordinary people are not happy to eat these stinky things, but it is a crime of disrespect to serve them to distinguished guests in Beijing. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your head! ! Thinking of this, Zhou Zixu's back was soaked in cold sweat.
He accompanied him with a smile and said, "This must be a mistake made by the guy, I'll take it now..."
"Wait!" Taishang Huang immediately stopped him. Pork head meat is wine, but he had the best bite when he was a general in his previous life. He hasn't eaten it for decades. He is so greedy that he chews pork head meat in big mouthfuls even in his dreams!
When he became the emperor, he also ordered the imperial chef to try to make braised pork head meat, but it didn't taste the same. The more he can't eat, the more he wants to eat. He is almost seventy years old, and he just wants to eat a real braised pig's head for one time before closing his eyes!
The Taishang Emperor's eyes were almost glued to the plate of pork head with garlic paste, so he decided to think of a high-sounding reason to keep this dish: "Since it's served, let's keep it! Tell me, what's the name of these two?" ?”
On Wednesday, cold sweat broke out from Shao Shao's forehead, and he stammered slightly: "Five... Fifth Master, these two dishes... can't be served on the table, look..."
"How could it not be on the table? It looks pretty good! Let me taste how it tastes..." The chopsticks that the Taishang Huang had been about to move for a long time, naturally stretched out to his favorite - pork head meat!
County Magistrate Wu didn't dare to let the Great Buddha, the Supreme Emperor, try the dishes, so he hurriedly brought the pork head with garlic paste in front of him, and said with a smile: "Fifth Master, let me try it first, if the taste is good, then keep it! "
Seeing the fat in his mouth, he walked away from him again. The Taishanghuang raised two thick eyebrows: "Why are you doing so much shit? Are you letting people eat? This is not a palace! There are so many annoying things!!"
My lord, just because it's not a palace, you have to be more careful! What is your status? If something happens in Tanggu Town, I, the head of Tanggu county magistrate's family, won't be able to pay for it! Magistrate Wu's lasagna burst into tears!
"Master! Should this old slave try the dishes for you?" The fat old man with a white face and no beard behind the Supreme Emperor asked humbly in a slightly feminine voice.
This is the chief executive who has been with him for decades. When he first took office, many people wanted his life. The food testers changed from batch to batch. In the end, only this one was later promoted to the chief executive The famous Liu Fusheng and Manager Liu were by his side. I have been with you for more than thirty years!
Manager Liu still has a lot of face in front of the Supreme Emperor. Although the Supreme Emperor had an ugly face, he acquiesced to his request.
Mr. Liu picked up the silver chopsticks, quickly picked up a piece of pork head meat and a piece of shredded ear from the two plates, put them into his mouth one after another, and chewed carefully for a while. The unique taste made him almost unable to control the desire to take a second bite. This was something he had never experienced in the thirty years he had served the Supreme Emperor.
After a while, the Supreme Emperor impatiently picked up the chopsticks again, and said angrily, "I said it's all right? You guys are too careful!"
While speaking, a thick piece of pork head was already caught on the chopsticks, and when he was about to put it in his mouth, he was interrupted by Shao Wednesday again.
"I said Zhou Xiaosan, Zhou Xiaosan! Do you want me to eat with the fifth master? If you don't give me a reasonable reason, I will punish you!!" The Supreme Emperor almost lifted the table. Love the pork head meat, forcibly suppressed the anger.
Zhou Zixu was about to cry, but he said bravely, "Fifth Master, one of these two plates is pork head meat, and the other is pig ears... It's not for someone of your status to eat it!"
Lao Zhi knew that it was pig head meat and pig ears, both of which Lao Zhi liked back then! The Supreme Emperor suppressed his anger, and said earnestly: "Little San'er, there is no distinction between high and low food, only whether it suits your appetite! I think back then, when old paper conquered the world... cough cough, when my master followed the Supreme Emperor to conquer the world, I ate grass roots and bark. , It’s delicious even if you catch a mouse!! What’s up with pig’s head meat, pig’s head meat is also meat! During natural disasters, there’s nowhere to fish for a bite of meat…”
After a while of reminiscing bitterness and thinking about sweetness, the disturbing voices finally subsided, and the Supreme Emperor was finally able to taste his favorite pork head meat—but don't let him down!
After this bite, it was so delicious that he almost cried. It is the taste that he has been obsessed with and dreamed about in his heart: the taste that melts in the mouth, glutinous and fresh, and the taste of oil and marinade bursting in the mouth at the same time, makes people's lips and teeth fragrant, and they can't stop.
"Good, good, good!!" The Taishanghuang praised three times in a row, and stuffed a piece of fat and lean pork head meat into his mouth, chewing carefully, relishing it, reluctant to swallow it for a long time, "The meat is delicious and fragrant. Alcoholic, fat but not greasy! The person who makes this is definitely a master in lo mei!!"
The Supreme Emperor ate half of the plate in one go, and then gradually slowed down, savoring the crunchiness of the shredded red oil ear. For this meal, he used one more bowl of rice than usual, and he almost wrapped up the two dishes. Except for a few refreshing green vegetables, the rest of the hot dishes were almost left untouched.
After the meal, the Supreme Emperor rubbed his bulging stomach, relishing the authentic taste of braised pork head meat: I can finally eat authentic pork head meat. He hasn't been able to get the taste he wants for decades. Today, his dream finally came true, and he was truly satisfied like never before! It's even more refreshing than when you conquered the country and ascended to the supreme position!
"The pork head meat and cold ear shreds are well done, very much to my liking! Call the chef who made these two dishes, and fifth master, I will give him a good reward!"
The Supreme Emperor was thinking about how to poach the cook away. When necessary, reveal his identity, even if he uses power to suppress others, he will get the cook! !
Young Master Wednesday stood still with an embarrassing expression on his face. County Magistrate Wu frowned slightly, and asked, "Nephew, didn't you hear Fifth Master's words? Hurry up and call the cook over to receive the reward!"
"To tell the truth to Master Wu, the cooks of these two dishes are not the cooks of our Zhenxiu Restaurant!" Zhou Zixu thought about it, and finally said.
"Bold! You are so brave, you actually gave the fifth master such food of unknown origin!! You are guilty!!" The leader of the guard was shocked, and then took a step forward angrily, and shouted loudly.
The Supreme Emperor, who was full of poaching people's corners, was extremely disappointed when he heard the words. He stopped the head of the guards from getting mad, and asked solemnly: "Little San'er! Who made these two dishes, do you know?"
"Yes... Fifth Master, you have seen the one who cooks these two dishes." Seeing that Fifth Master had shown an impatient expression, Zhou Zixu finally said it out of desperation.
"I've seen it before, too?" The Supreme Emperor's frown was suddenly relaxed, "It's that little girl just now, isn't it?"
Well, you little girl, finally let me catch the pigtail, right? Still pretending! Let me just say, we are still our fellow villagers hundreds of years later, who can make the most authentic hometown taste! However, since you don't want people to know your identity, then the Lord will show mercy and not expose you. However, I have to take advantage of it!
"Fifth Master is wise!" Zhou Zixu was slightly worried, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse for Xiaocao. He made up his mind that if the nobleman blamed her, he would try his best to protect her to the end!
"Reward! Grandpa enjoyed his meal today! There will be many rewards!!" The Supreme Emperor couldn't wait to see the little girl again. Or, make her an imperial cook or something, and pack her up and bring her back to Beijing
However, the eight- or nine-year-old Yuchu is still a little girl, and she doesn't seem to be able to convince the public. Or... It shouldn't be too much for the third child to recognize her as a goddaughter, give her a princess or something, and let her go to the palace to accompany me, a godfather, right
The Supreme Emperor was thinking about how he could abduct this little girl, when Yu Xiaocao had already knocked on the door and came in, followed by a worried Yu Hai.
"Grassman Yu Hai, I have met some adults!" Yu Hai respectfully saluted County Magistrate Wu.
Yu Xiaocao belatedly followed behind her father and knelt down: In the evil old society, ordinary people at the bottom of the society will kneel down when they see the rich and powerful, they can't afford it! Well, it's time to go to the temple to worship Buddha! !
When Yu Xiaocao was slandering Ah Q endlessly, the Supreme Emperor waved his hand: "Excuse me! Give me a seat!!"
"Don't dare, dare not!" How could Yu Hai dare to sit down casually for a big man who the county magistrate dared not speak out in front of him? Let's stand up and answer!
Seeing that the easy-going he showed did not relieve the tension between the father and the father, the Supreme Emperor no longer insisted, but asked Yu Xiaocao, who was a little cautious, in a homely tone: "Little girl, can the stewed pig's head meat and pig's ears be prepared?" , did you do it?"
Pig head meat and pig ears? Isn't that what you buy back and save for yourself on Wednesday? Wouldn't it be eaten by big shots? She can't bear it if something bad happens to her!
After glaring at Young Master Zhou fiercely, Yu Xiaocao said softly with lowered eyebrows: "It was... made by a civilian girl!"
"Don't be nervous! Your pig's head is well stewed. It suits my taste. I have to reward you! Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?" The Supreme Emperor was planning in his heart to let such a young child leave his hometown and his parents. , isn't it a bit inhumane
