He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

What to do with this banquet was really a big problem. Lu Yan would meet with Lu Sheng and Song Bowen in the teahouse after setting up the stall every day. They discussed it for three or four days. The banquet was to be held in ten days. The three of them finally decided on the theme. It was settled.

So we decided to call it "Liu Fang Banquet". Isn’t it true that chrysanthemums are known as “there will be no more flowers when they are in full bloom”? We just want to keep all the flowers after admiring the chrysanthemums.

Lu Yanchuan was a homebody before the book. She had never attended any banquets. Judging from her superficial understanding of banquets, the environment and the quality of the dishes were two very important parts.

The three discussed for several days and tentatively decided on the content of the Twelve Flowers. Lu Sheng was in charge of the scenery, and Lu Yan was in charge of the dishes.

Lu Yan definitely couldn't cook the entire banquet by herself. The Song family had its own chef, and Lu Yan was only responsible for providing a few fresh dishes to elevate the level of the entire banquet.

Lu Yan knew very well what these intellectuals wanted. It was not enough for the food to be delicious. In addition to being delicious, it also needed to be beautiful, elegant, and classy.

Regarding flowers, Lu Yan really had some ideas. When making videos in modern times, Lu Yan made a lot of flower-related dishes, such as peony flower steamed buns and peach blossom steamed dumplings. They are all easy-to-use and very beautiful pastries. When the time comes, change the name, for example, the peony flower bun is called Guose Tianxiang, and the boiled cabbage is called water hibiscus, and the style will immediately come up. Lu Yan had an idea in her mind and made a plan. She listed six or seven dishes. She considered her part to be done.

She approached Lu Sheng to see if Lu Sheng had made any progress.

"I have some ideas, but I don't know exactly how to do it." Lu Sheng said, "For the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the best thing is to have all the flowers appear and make it look like a fairyland. In winter, when the flowers bloom, it will definitely be very beautiful. novel."

"But there are not so many flowers blooming now." Song Bowen said with a headache: "My house does have a greenhouse, but even if I move all the flowers out, it won't be enough."

"Is this how you got stuck?" Lu Yan said in surprise, "Isn't it just a matter of using fake flowers?"

Song Bowen and Lu Sheng were both stunned and asked in surprise: "Fake flowers?"

Most of the large-scale scenery in modern society uses artificial flowers. The cost of real flowers is too high, so Lu Yan naturally thought of artificial flowers. It is not that there was no fake flower craft in ancient times. The velvet flower craft was already very popular in the Tang Dynasty. The jewelry in jewelry shops were often made into flower shapes. Old girls and young wives had a bunch of them on their heads, but no one had ever used fake flowers. The scene was set on a large scale, so Song Bowen and Lu Sheng didn't turn a corner. When Lu Yan mentioned it, both of them suddenly understood.

"I will go to the jewelry shop tomorrow to hire some women who are good at making beads and flowers." Song Bowen patted his thigh.

If you want to feel like a wonderland, it would be great if you have dry ice. Lu Yan thought to herself. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it myself without dry ice. There are other ways to make smoke. For example, tobacco cakes are made from sulfur and wood chips, but that one has a strong smell, is quite choking, and is easily self-defeating, so forget it.

"In addition to the scenery, we also want to highlight your pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Lu Yan said, "Can you make paper that is stiffer and can stand on the ground?" It is actually hard cardboard.

Song Bowen was stunned for a moment: "You can try it, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Make more." Lu Yan suggested: "Let's draw a picture of the beauty of the twelve flower gods on cardboard, and make it realistic, then cut it out and try it standing behind the artificial flowers." In fact, that's what she wanted to do. Wait and stand.

"Realistic style?" Song Bowen repeated, "Can this look good?"

No wonder Song Bowen questioned it. Freehand brushwork has always been popular in ancient times, and spiritual resemblance is far more important than physical resemblance. However, what Lu Yan wanted was realism, and there was no realism genre in ancient times. Huang Quan's "Sketch of Rare Birds from Life" of the Five Dynasties was very realistic and lifelike.

"Sketch of Rare Birds"

"There must be one, go look for it." Lu Yan said firmly.

Song Bowen listened to Lu Yan and nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go find her."

Lu Yan was satisfied and handed the written list to Song Bowen: "These are the few dishes I am going to add. You can take them back and show them to your parents. If necessary, I will go over and cook them again tomorrow for them to see. This These are the materials I need, prepare more for me."

After the three said goodbye, Song Bowen handed the menu Lu Yan gave him to his father.

Mr. Song took the menu with a bunch of idioms written on it and was completely confused: "What kind of dishes are these? The beauty of the country? The hibiscus in the water? The rise in popularity?"

Song Bowen looks at the eyes, nose and mind: "In lay terms, they are chrysanthemum fish, lotus cakes, peony steamed buns, peach blossom steamed dumplings, boiled cabbage and cucumber cups."

Mr. Song: "..."

Mr. Song: "It's true. Let her family come and try the dishes tomorrow."

Lu Yan and Lu Sheng were on their way home.

"I see there is a dish of boiled cabbage on your menu," Lu Sheng asked, "Will that be delicious?"

This is a question, it is a state banquet dish.

"This boiled water is not that boiled water. It must be delicious." Lu Yan said firmly, "I guarantee you have never tasted such delicious cabbage."

Lu Sheng's curiosity suddenly aroused: "How about we eat it today?"

"I can't eat it. There are too many ingredients. I have to use pork knuckles, ducks, and old hens to boil the water. Our family doesn't have that much ingredients." Lu Yan said, "Go to the Song family to try the dishes tomorrow and you can eat it."

My goodness, one cabbage requires so many things.

Lu Sheng didn't expect it either: "I already believe it's delicious."

Lu Yan suddenly became excited: "I'll catch two fish later. Let's eat pickled fish today!"

The sauerkraut has been pickled for a long time, but I haven't eaten it in the past two days due to busy work. I just thought of eating it today.

As soon as Lu Yan got home, she couldn't wait to go out with her harpoon. Lu Sheng followed Lu Yan. This was the first time Lu Sheng saw Lu Yan catch fish with his own eyes.

Lu Yan rolled up her trouser legs and stepped into the water. She took out a piece of steamed bun she had broken off when she went out from her clothes, crushed it and sprinkled it into the water. Sure enough, it attracted a few fish to eat.

Lu Yan silently raised the harpoon high, and suddenly shouted "Hey", raised and lowered the harpoon, and a big black fish was harpooned.

Lu Sheng: "..."

Lu Yanxiong carried the basket away confidently and packed up the fish when he got home.

Cut off the fish head and bones, shave off all the fish bones, cut the fish into slices, put it in a basin and marinate it with salt, rice wine and starch. Lu Yan opened the sauerkraut jar again, and a pungent sour smell hit her face. Lu Yan quickly picked two pickles and took them out.

Chop the sauerkraut, chop two heads of garlic and chili into two portions, and prepare the sauce. After the pot comes to a boil, add sauerkraut and a portion of minced garlic and chili to stir-fry. The hot and sour taste rises instantly, making your mouth water. Add the fish heads and fish bones and fry together, add the sauce, add water and bring to a boil. When the flavor is completely cooked, take the sauerkraut into a basin first, then add the fish fillets and cook until cooked. The fish fillets will be fully cooked in a dozen seconds, and pour the soup into the basin with the sauerkraut.

Heat another ladle of oil, pour in the second portion of chili pepper and minced garlic. When the oil becomes hot, pour it directly into the basin. There will be a sizzling sound, and the aroma of the oil mixed with the sour and spicy smell will fill the room. When you eat it, saliva is already coming out of your mouth.

The fish fillets had been completely deboned, and the snow-white meat was so tender that it fell into pieces in your mouth with just a sip. Lu Yan was greedy for this mouthful for a long time, and finally took it into her mouth. The pickled cabbage was sour and spicy, the fish fillets were fresh and tender, and the sour and spicy flavors burst into her mouth in layers. She couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. Lu Sheng and Boss Lu also highly praised this dish.

Pickled fish

"It is their regret not to cook this dish at the banquet." Lu Sheng said.

"Aren't you afraid that they will think it's not elegant?" Lu Yan said, "How can these people eat vegetables in a basin?"

"Why don't you just serve them in a basin? Just give them a white porcelain cup, put a few slices of pickled cabbage and a piece of fish and that's it." Lu Sheng said, "I've already thought of the name, it's called Qingshan Wanli A Guzhou. "

Lu Yan: "..."

Scholars are still awesome!
