C227 extravagant way of eating

"Delicious, so delicious. "As expected of the dishes personally cooked by mister. It's really amazing!" In the dining room, Zhuge Liang and Li Zi Cheng were sitting on the floor, heating up the food while munching on the lamb meat that had already been crushed by the pressure cooker.

However, not everyone took a liking to the main dish, the Stewed Sheep Meat with Rot Bamboo Soup.

Sun Shangxiang ate a bowl of mutton stew, satisfying her long lack of protein in her stomach, and began to look for delicacies on the table.

"Mushroom Slipper Chicken, Plum Cuisine Pork, Ginger Blast Duck, Southern Pig Foot, Fish Fragrance, Stewed Chicken with Yellow Sauce, Chop Pepper Fish Head, Sesame Meat with Acid Soup …" These are all dishes that mister made before. Although it is still okay, but I feel like there's something wrong with it. "

Suddenly, she noticed the calm-looking Yang Xiu picking up a cabbage leaf with his chopsticks.

He looked at Bai Cai and asked, "Sir, how could your Winter Solstice feast be so ordinary?"

Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Xiao Wen looked at him with a playful expression.

He said, "You're talking about this boiled cabbage?"

"Boiling water cabbage?" Yang Xiu stared blankly, then said with a smile, "Sure enough, poor dishes can only be matched with poor names."

Hearing that, Xiao Wen laughed, "You think this is too shabby? You might as well try. It's just that I wanted to say that this dish was actually created by the imperial palace's chefs, and was later acquired by my teachers. It can be said that among all the dishes I know, this is the best. In terms of style, the other dishes here add up to less than it. "

Hearing this, Yang Xiu disdained.

He said, "This is just cabbage. Could they even make flowers? "

As he spoke, he tried a bite.

Ka-cha! *

The instant Yang Xiu bit down on the cabbage, the crispness even made the cabbage splinter in his mouth.

Immediately after, all kinds of delicious ingredients for the stew spread out in his mouth like a river bursting its banks.

That smell!

That feeling!

That Concept!

In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiu felt as if he had entered a world of bliss!

"This is just ordinary cabbage, how can it be so tasty?" Yang Xiu exclaimed loudly.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly picked up a spoon to eat some soup.

Slurp …

It was soup!

Yang Xiu instantly realized that the strong aroma of the soup had given him an extreme flavor of cabbage.

He quickly put down his spoon and, with a bigger spoon, took a whole bowl of soup into the bowl.

"How fragrant!" He could not help but exclaim.

Sun Shangxiang was speechless when she saw Yang Xiu's previous attitude of 'even if I were to die and jump down from the city wall in the clouds, I definitely won't take a mouthful of cabbage'.

However, she still followed Yang Xiu and scooped up a bowl of soup into her own bowl. Then, she picked up a dish of cabbage.

Ka-cha! *

The crispy taste once again suffused the air. The rich fragrance of the soup once again overflowed.

Sun Shangxiang could feel that the aroma of the wine, even if it was Song Ming who was a chef from a developed country, was hard to produce.

"Sir, how did you make this soup?" Sun Shangxiang asked curiously.

Xiao Wen smiled and said, "This soup is made from duck, hen, pig's feet, ham, and jade pillars. Then, the chicken breast meat and pork tenderloin are used to filter the froth and fat in the soup."

Hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

To be honest, although in Sun Shangxiang and Yang Xiu's eyes, the ingredients for making boiled cabbage were not particularly high quality.

After all, these things, if put in the twenty-first century, are probably less than three hundred dollars — if, of course, the ham you use is imported Iberian ham.

These ingredients weren't anything out of the ordinary for the children of wealthy aristocratic families.

However, Xiao Wen used these ingredients to make the soup and then used the pork ribs and chicken breast to filter the foam. The method of cooking oil could be said to be luxurious!

After all, Xiao Wen had spent so many ingredients to make this not big fish or big meat, but small pots of cabbage!

"This is too exaggerated, too extravagant!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but click his tongue as he looked at the dish.

However, Xiao Wen only smiled and introduced the background of this boiled cabbage.

He said, "The chef who cooked this dish was actually arguing with another chef about the philosophy of cooking. He believed that the pinnacle of culinary arts was the most ordinary and simple raw materials used to create the most luxurious flavor. The other cook believed that the pinnacle of cooking skills was to use the most luxurious raw materials, the least processing, to make the original flavor of the food. Therefore, in order to express his views, he prepared this dish. "

Of course, this was only what the book said.

In fact, Xiao Wen felt that the person who invented this dish wanted to see the person eating this dish. He was shocked.

It was just like when Xiao Wen first learned about boiled water and cabbages. It was the same as when the kids in front of him were shocked speechless.

"Compared to this, the delicacies of the nobility in Chang An City are nothing much." Yang Xiu sighed.

Yang Xiu was also someone who had seen much of the world. He had been with his father, and his grandfather had socialized everywhere, although he hadn't eaten all the delicacies in the world like Sun Shangxiang, who was "travelling" everywhere. However, he was well aware of some of the upper class' diets.

However, even if he brought out the dishes he had eaten in the Imperial Palace and compared them to this boiled water cabbage, he still felt that the Imperial Palace dish was only so-so.

He randomly sprinkled all sorts of spices on a lamb and roasted it. It was completely incomparable to this boiled cabbage.

Even Sun Shangxiang didn't think that there was a dish comparable to boiled water cabbage.

Even if it was the first dish of the Kong Family's birthday banquet in Song Dynasty, fish fin, sea cucumber, abalone, fish bone, fish belly, shrimp, asparagus and ham were chosen as the "Eight Immortals". Chop the chicken into mashed meat, and make the arhat money at the bottom of the bowl. The Eight Immortals who call themselves the "arhat" can't cause trouble for the arhat either!

"That... Sir. Other than this boiled cabbage, has that chef ever cooked anything else? " Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but ask.

She didn't ask Xiao Wen what delicious dishes the other chef had cooked. After all, even if she didn't ask, she would still know the gist of it.

Picking a delicacy and cooking a simple dish was something she could do herself.

However, she didn't know how to choose the best delicacies in the world.

Hearing Sun Shangxiang's question, Xiao Wen shook his head. However, he recalled that there seemed to be many things in the Chinese cuisine department that were created because they had nothing better to do.

So he closed his eyes to search for a while and said, "Yes! That dish is called Treasure Palm! "

"Treasure in the palm?" Hearing Xiao Wen's words, even Zhou Xian and Zhou Wei revealed puzzled expressions.

They looked at each other. They clearly didn't understand what Xiao Wen was talking about.

Looking at the crowd, Xiao Wen let out a helpless sigh, and said: "The so called treasure in hand, is the broken bone in the middle of a chicken's claws. Each chicken had only two pieces. Every time we cook this dish, we have to kill at least a dozen chickens. "

"There are many ways to cook this dish. "Gongbao chicken bone crispy, pepper chicken bone brittle, garlic chicken bone brittle, double peppers chicken bone brittle, pickled chicken bone brittle, pickled peppers chicken bone brittle, and so on."

Hearing the introduction, the crowd was dumbfounded once more.

After all, this era was not the era where chickens were raised in chicken farms in future generations. Chicken was nothing valuable in the eyes of the aristocrats of this era. However, to kill fifteen chickens for a small plate of treasures, this sort of extravagant method greatly shocked everyone.
