Chapter 34 Thirty-four

Seeing that the matter had been accomplished, Fang Guohuan stood up and said, "Young Master Zhao has fulfilled his wish, and Miss Han can display her culinary skills again, so as not to bury her own skills. The two of you will be friends with each other, and it will be a good story. I congratulate you all, because there are other things. It's over, let me bid farewell to everyone." Han Xing'er admired Fang Guohuan's victory over Han Yugong in chess, and felt that Fang Guohuan had great ambitions, and she didn't realize that she already liked him, so she asked to stay: "Mr. Fang, if you have nothing to worry about, please return." Stay for another day, let Xing'er prepare a table of wine and food, and taste it with you, it is also a little respect for you." Han Yugong and Zhao Mingfeng were also busy persuading him to stay, but Fang Guohuan couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to hang around for another day, Zhao Mingfeng and The grandparents of the Han family were overjoyed.Han Xing'er said: "Tomorrow I will prepare a special banquet for Mr. Fang." Zhao Mingfeng said joyfully, "Tomorrow we will be able to taste Miss Han's culinary skills again." Mr. Zhao is just enjoying Mr. Fang's honor." Zhao Mingfeng smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as there are delicious dishes to taste. By the way, I don't know what special ingredients Miss Han needs? I'll ask someone to go The town is ready." Han Xing'er said: "You have thought carefully! Tomorrow is my treat, so what do you do?" Then Zhao Mingfeng respected Han Xing'er at this moment, and was full of joy for being able to stay She didn't dare to go against Han Xing'er's will, for fear of offending her accidentally, so she stopped talking.Fang Guohuan talked about chess with Han Yugong again, and then he and Zhao Mingfeng got up and resigned. In response to the love of Han's ancestors and grandchildren, they came to the banquet early tomorrow morning.

Back at the inn in the town, Zhao Sheng saw that Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guohuan had stayed in Shiyan Village for a long time, and knowing that the matter had been successful, he asked what strange delicacy they had tasted, but Zhao Mingfeng smiled and did not answer.In the evening, Zhao Mingfeng asked someone to go to the Four Seas Tower to order a table of sumptuous food and drinks and deliver them to the inn. Since Fang Guohuan drank and talked all night long, because Fang Guohuan unexpectedly made Zhao Mingfeng's wish, Zhao Mingfeng was especially grateful. The feeling of seeing it late.Early the next morning, Zhao Mingfeng took two hundred taels of silver and gave it to Fang Guohuan to send him on the road after the banquet in Shiyan Village.Fang Guohuan refused to accept it, but Zhao Mingfeng insisted on accepting it, but Fang Guohuan had no choice but to accept fifty taels, and the rest refused, so Zhao Mingfeng had no choice but to give up.Afterwards, Zhao Mingfeng still asked Zhao Sheng and others to wait in the inn, and he and Fang Guohuan rode horses all the way to Shiyan Village.

When they arrived at Shiyan Village, Han Yugong greeted Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guohuan and sat down in the hall.Zhao Mingfeng didn't see Han Xing'er by his side, so he asked, "Senior, why don't you see Miss Han?" Han Yugong said, "I'm afraid I might miss Mr. Fang's schedule, so Xing'er got up early in the morning to prepare a special banquet for Mr. Fang's farewell party." I'm busy in the kitchen." Fang Guohuan heard this, and said gratefully, "It's really hard for Miss Han." Han Yugong said: "Xing'er never cooks for those gluttons among the country vulgars and swingers. If she did it with all her heart, she must be someone she respects." Fang Guohuan was really moved when he heard this.

After drinking some tea, Han Xing'er came in and was very happy to see that Fang Guohuan and Zhao Mingfeng had arrived, so she stepped forward to greet her, and then they came to the hall where they drank Yuqing soup yesterday.As soon as you enter the door, you will immediately feel the strong aroma, and a sumptuous banquet has been set up, full of poultry and seafood such as chicken, duck, fish, etc., the color is attractive, and the shape is correct.Zhao Mingfeng saw it, nodded and said: "The real skill of chefs is in meat, especially in cooking out unique flavors." When they were seated, Han Xing'er held a pot of wine and said: "This is the 'Hundred Flowers' brewed by grandpa. Wine', I don't want to part with it on weekdays, so let's respect Mr. Fang today." As the cups were filled up, the wine really overflowed with the fragrance of flowers.Zhao Mingfeng took a few sniffs from the cup, nodded and said: "Good wine! I didn't pay attention to the contents of the cup before, so I didn't intend to be demanding, and I focused on cooking." Han Yugong said: "Wine is also a food, especially to help food. It has its own unique products, and it is unique." The grandparents of the Han family then asked Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guohuan to have wine and vegetables, and everyone drank together.Zhao Mingfeng tasted a few dishes, and he was full of praise immediately. He nodded repeatedly and said: "I have eaten many dishes from the north and the south, but there is no one with such authentic taste. The taste is pure and fragrant, extremely delicious, delicious! Delicious!" Fang Guohuan laughed and said: " Mr. Zhao is a true bosom friend of the cook family, and he can taste the taste, but Fang has a bad taste and thinks it is delicious, so he just eats to fill up. He really deserves the hard work of the cook family." Han Yugong said: " Everyone likes delicious food, if you taste it to a certain level, you must be obsessed with delicious food, and you have different tastes." Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guohuan were very satisfied with the sumptuous table of food and drink. Eat very happily.

At this time, Zhao Mingfeng discovered a strange phenomenon, the chicken, duck and fish meat on the table had no bone spurs at all, and the taste was not greasy, and the meat was especially fragrant.Zhao Mingfeng couldn't help being surprised and said: "Miss Han's cooking skills are astonishingly high. The chicken and fish are in perfect shape, and the bone spurs are all gone. It seems that the chicken and fish have never had bone spurs. I don't know what kind of strange method it is cooked Fang Guohuan also felt strange, so he took a piece of fish head and said: "No matter how capable Miss Han is, the inner bone of this fish head may not be able to be removed." Then he put it in his mouth, and was startled suddenly, feeling the quality of the fish head and the meat. It's no different, it is full of fragrance, and when you check the chicken, duck and fish on the table, there is no bone spur in it.Fang Guohuan was surprised: "Miss Han's cooking skills, can't she assimilate bone spurs into meat quality?" Han Yugong laughed at this time: "Both young masters have been deceived by Xing'er. In fact, this is a tofu banquet. Chicken and fish are served on the table. All the dishes are carved out of tofu." Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guohuan were shocked when they heard it, and with Han Yugong's prompting, they barely recognized that the chicken body and fish body were carved out of tofu. distinguish.Han Xing'er said with a smile at this time: "Tofu, once cooked, can serve hundreds of seats, and can be combined with hundreds of dishes. It is a gentleman among dishes." Zhao Mingfeng shook his head and sighed, "Shame! Zhao Ming got confused after eating the banquet." Han Xing'er laughed and said, "Where are you now, there are so many delicacies that you, a gourmet, have never seen or tasted!" Zhao Ming heard about it and was ashamed to say nothing.Fang Guohuan asked confusedly: "I don't know what method Miss Han used to cook such indistinguishable authenticity of chicken, duck and fish? Besides, if you eat fish, you are fish, and if you eat chicken, you are chicken. The texture and taste of real chicken and fish are the same. It can be said to be supernatural!" Han Xing'er said: "But prepare a large piece of tofu, choose it old and tender, carve it into the shape of chicken, fish and other birds and animals, and put the viscera inside, so it can be more fake. Then use the method of improving taste and quality to change it in cooking. Its color and taste can make the taste real, and it is difficult to tell the fake, I never thought that it really deceived the two young masters." After finishing speaking, Han Xing'er was very proud.Han Yugong said: "Increasing the flavor is different from borrowing the flavor. Once the flavor is enhanced, the original flavor of the original chicken and fish will be lost. Don't discard any more. This is a unique skill in my Han family's kitchen." There is a unique feature, that is, the vegetable essence refined by grandpa is used in the soup, so it is very delicious." Zhao Mingfeng was surprised: "What is vegetable essence? I have never heard of it." Han Yugong said: "Five grains are combined with five vegetables and five animals. It is the real taste of human food. The old man occasionally extracted something from the five grains. The crystal is colorless and has a wonderful taste. , the dishes cooked by the old man are always different from Xing'er's." Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guohuan were amazed when they heard this.

After the tofu feast, it was already afternoon that day, Fang Guohuan saw that it was getting late, so he bid farewell to Han Yugong, Han Xing'er, and Zhao Mingfeng. He rode the mount Zhao Mingfeng gave him, bid farewell, and went to visit Tianyuan Temple in Lianyun Mountain.
