Chapter 88

Waiting for the dishes to be prepared and brought over.

Chen Er took down the boiled mountain spring water and brewed 25 cups of tea for someone to send over.

Zhao Jiuxiang knew the function of this tea.

Chen Ercai gathered with everyone and made some home-cooked dishes to eat by himself.

Dou Yitong was very interested in the camel hoof soup just now.

"The recipe of camel's hoof soup is a secret recipe of all major chefs and restaurants."

"Mr. Chen, is this how you gave us this recipe?"

Chen Er chuckled, "I added some seasonings when the camel's hoof soup was cooked just now, can you see what I put in?"

Having said that, everyone suddenly showed a puzzled look.

Chen Er's hand was too fast just now, many people didn't see it clearly.

Dou Yitong scratched his head.

"It's just some salt or spice powder to enhance the fragrance..."

Chen Er stopped talking.

Just now he only put three things in the camel's hoof soup, salt, chopped green onion and icing sugar scraped from the surface of the pickled orange.

These three things are indispensable.

At this time, there were more than twenty well-dressed young men and women gathered at the banquet.

Mandarin duck vines cling to the shed, and occasionally a few green vines hang down from the top of the head.

It is covered with small pale yellow or snow white flowers.

It exudes a faint fragrance, and the fragrance is slightly cool and refreshing, just like the fragrance drifting across a deep pool.

There were more than [-] high tables in the shed, and some servants came in with food boxes and put the vegetables on the high tables.

There are half-person-high tripods behind the high tables, burning a white energy-saving lamp with a colorful glass cover.

The white light hits the glass cover, then passes through the cover and falls outside.

Immediately, a small area outside was dyed with colorful colors.

The colored glaze is in a translucent state, when the light passes through, it becomes light and thin, and it sprinkles down gently, as if the colorful streamer is lingering gently.

There are large blooming roses in the white porcelain vase on the high table.

The pink flowers look more serene and gentle at night.

Zhao Jiuxiang was surrounded by several young people.

Chatting in a hurry.

"Jiuxiang's banquet this time is a bit interesting, I've never seen this kind of eating before."

"I heard that Jiuxiang specially invited Master Xu from Lin'an to serve as the head chef this time. Master Xu's Jiangnan cuisine is simply delicious that is rare in the world!"

Zhao Jiuxiang said, "Master Xu has something to do at home, so he went back temporarily, so the chef has been replaced."

Now everyone became lively, and began clamoring to try the food made by the new chef.

The butler came over and told Zhao Jiuxiang that the appetizers had been served.

Zhao Jiuxiang invited everyone to eat delicious food.

Every guest stood next to a tall table.

It is said how tall it is, but in fact it is not very high, at most it reaches the knee of an adult man.

A bamboo mat was laid on the lower side of the height table, and a square cushion was placed on it.

Stuffed with goose feathers inside and wrapped in smooth satin on the outside, it looks nice and feels wonderfully soft and smooth.

"Everyone, sit down wherever you like." Zhao Jiuxiang sat down cross-legged on the mat.

Everyone saw it and followed suit.

Several delicacies have been placed on the high table.

Everyone smelled the faint fragrance of rose flowers, and then looked at the several delicacies laid out.

The dishes in front of everyone are the same, and the portions are small, and each dish can be finished in four or five bites at most.

That's fine, but there are only five dishes in total, how can I be full?
What's more, although the five dishes looked good, they were not fresh.

It is a dish that can be eaten in larger wines or restaurants outside.

Such an arrangement of dishes makes people feel a little perfunctory in the eyes of these guests.

It's just that the environment for eating delicious food here is not bad, everyone can smell the fragrance of flowers and vegetables, but there is no objection.

When the steward on the side saw everyone sitting down, he raised his hand and called to the people waiting outside.

So the guests in the shed saw more than twenty servants walking in with teacups.

Then the tea was served in front of every guest.

Zhao Jiuxiang understood immediately.

He said to the confused guest, "This is the chef's habit. Before tasting the food, you need to rinse your mouth with tea."

When Zhao Jiuxiang said this, several impatient guests had already picked up the teacups in front of them and were about to open their mouths to drink tea. After hearing this, they silently removed the teacups in their hands.

As soon as you open the lid, you can smell a very special aroma.

Several guests who often drink tea immediately concluded that this tea is Baihao Yinzhen through the aroma and the shape of the tea leaves.

And I also feel that this tea is particularly mellow.

"The aroma of this cup of tea is very special. There is a clear cold air in the aroma, but the cold air is very faint. If you don't feel it carefully, you can't feel it. I guess this tea tree should be planted in a relatively cold place. "

Another person disagreed with him.

"You also said that the cold fragrance in this tea is very light. If the tea tree is really planted in a colder place, then the cold fragrance should be stronger. So, I guess, it is mostly mixed with the water used to cook the tea. There are relationships."

After speaking, both of them looked at Zhao Jiuxiang together.

Zhao Jiuxiang is not proficient in tea ceremony, but he usually drinks a lot of tea, so he can distinguish the types of tea.

But regarding the method of cooking tea, he really couldn't make any judgments.

Just now the butler took someone to get the food and stayed for a long time, maybe Chen Er had already told him.

So Zhao Jiuxiang looked at the butler beside him.

So everyone turned their attention to the butler again.

The butler, who had never been watched by so many people, was stunned for a moment.

Then he started to speak, "Master Chen said that the water for making tea is melted ice water from Changbai Mountain."

The steward secretly rejoiced that Chen Er told him the source of some of these materials and the special processing method in advance.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to answer now.

After hearing this, the two guests just now applauded in unison.

One of them said first, "It's a great idea to cook tea with melted ice water! The snow was originally falling from the sky, and it has not been contaminated by the smell of fireworks in the world. After a long period of time, it will become accumulated ice that will not melt for years. Use this Planting water to cook tea can not only bring a slight cold air to the tea, but also increase the clearness of the tea fragrance, and will not destroy the aroma of the tea because of too much cold air.”

Another person hurriedly said, "Yes, most tea tree varieties are not suitable for planting in cold places. And people who cook tea like to pursue a clear taste. It is indeed a good choice to cook tea with melted ice water. "

So everyone happily rinsed their mouths with the tea.

I just felt that at that moment, a cool fragrance rolled from the tip of my tongue all the way to my mouth, and the fragrance spread back and forth between my teeth.

Refreshing and fragrant on the cheeks.
