Dominate the universe with food

But after listening to Duan Chen's description, Lin Qingmian realized that her thinking was too simple.

In any power system, there are factions.

According to the region, the empire is divided into four districts, east, west, north, south, and each district governs thousands of planets.In the center of the four districts is the emperor star, the seat of the royal family, and the power center of the empire.

Each district has its own troops stationed there. Duan Chen's father, Duan Yuefei, is the commander-in-chief of the fourth district. The west district, where Lin Qingmian is currently located, is the headquarters of the Duan family. The other three districts are also under his control in name, but in reality Above, only the east, west and south districts are under the control of Duan Yuefei, while the northern district is controlled by the political faction of the consul Zhao family.

In this environment, all kinds of open and secret struggles between military power factions and government factions are indispensable.

The appearance of Lin Qingmian is too special, and it is bound to attract the attention of both the military and the government.So this time not only the allies of the Duan family came, but also the hostile forces of the Duan family.

What Duan Chen usually disdains the most is these intrigues and intrigues.But now, these things happened because of Lin Qingmian, so naturally he couldn't stand by and watch.

The people from Dixing came here as guests, so they naturally wanted to entertain them. No matter what attitude Duan Chen had toward those people, he had to be able to save face.

However, Duan Chen couldn't accept the way of hospitality.

They asked Lin Qingmian to cook a table of dishes in person to welcome their arrival.

Duan Chen's face darkened after hearing their request.The interstellar people have very low requirements for food, and there is no requirement to use food to entertain guests at all. When they make this request, they probably have no good intentions.

And most importantly, why did they let Lin Qingmian cook? …

Duan Chen wanted to refuse, but Lin Qingmian readily agreed.

In his opinion, entertaining guests with a table of delicacies is a very common thing, and he actually has nothing to be unhappy about.What's more, they made this request to obstruct it. If they don't agree to this request, they will give up making troubles?

Obviously not, in short, it can't be avoided, so it's better to agree first.Lest they make more troublesome accidents.

Since Lin Qingmian wanted to entertain with a table of delicacies, Lin Qingmian naturally had to prepare well. The dishes should be prepared with top-notch ones. In short, people from the West District should not be lost.

This time, because he had enough time to prepare in advance, Lin Qingmian was finally able to choose some simple and easy-to-make dishes without worrying about time.

Buddha jumps over the wall, boiled cabbage, Wensi tofu, phoenix wears gold clothes, West Lake vinegar fish, braised lion head, money shrimp cake...

This menu, no matter in terms of ingredients, production process, or taste, is impeccable. It can definitely hook diners' visual senses and fully satisfy their tastes at the same time.

Among them, the dish of Buddha Tiaoqiang uses the most ingredients, the most complicated process, and the longest cooking time.

The day before the arrival of the guests, Lin Qingmian started to prepare this dish.

Buddha Tiaoqiang, also known as Mantanxiang, is said to be because the dish is so fragrant that the Buddha couldn't help jumping over the wall to taste it, hence the name Buddha Tiaoqiang.

There are dozens of ingredients used in this dish, and all of them are rare and unique.

Sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, scallop, fish lip, turtle skirt, deer tendon, pigeon egg, duck treasure, fish maw, fish maw, scallop, pigeon, razor clam, ham, pork belly, sheep elbow, hoof tip, tendon, chicken breast , duck breast, chicken gizzard, duck gizzard, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and so on.

With so many ingredients, each ingredient must be cooked separately to produce its unique flavor, and then mixed together and simmered for more than ten hours, mixing all the flavors together to form a unique mellow aroma.

Choose the best quality water haired shark fin, remove the sand, add scallion and ginger slices to the pot and cook for 10 minutes, then take out only the shark fin, put it in a bowl, put pork fat on it, and steam it for two hours. Finally, throw away the fat and soup, leaving only the cooked shark's fin with clear roots and orange color for later use.

Chicken, duck, sheep and knuckles are stewed in a pot with blood removed, sea cucumber and ham are steamed together in a pot, pigeon eggs and winter bamboo shoots are deep-fried in a pot...all the ingredients are filtered through the soup, and only the cooked raw materials are left for later use.

The last step is to take a clean Shaoxing wine jar and heat it with water, then put some of the cooked ingredients into the jar blindly, and finally pour in the soup of boiled chicken, duck and other ingredients, and seal the mouth of the jar with lotus leaves. And put a small bowl upside down, and start to simmer over low heat.

Ingredients such as sea cucumber, tendons, and fish lips will melt after cooking for a long time, so after waiting for two hours, open the jar and put these ingredients, pour rice wine, and then simmer slowly.

It will take more than 20 hours just for this dish from making to cooking. Lin Qingmian is stuck with time, and when Duan Yuefei brings the people from Dixing, his Buddha Jumping Wall will be ready soon.

Duan Chen called him to go to the front to pick up people together.

The person who is coming today, Duan Chen, has already informed him of his identity and appearance in advance. One is the fifth prince supported by the Duan family, an ally, and a friendly army.One is the third prince supported by the Zhao family, a hostile force.Some other people are followers, don't worry about it, but there is a special person among those followers, Zhao Wenxing's cousin, Zhao Wentian.

Lin Qingmian and Zhao Wenxing have been together for so long, and he has never heard him mention Zhao Wentian, and even some family matters, Zhao Wenxing seldom mentioned.Moreover, according to the information disclosed by Duan Chen, the Zhao family did not seem to take Zhao Wenxing seriously, and the relationship between Zhao Wenxing and some members of the Zhao family was not good.

After saying this, Duan Chen added another sentence worriedly: "No matter what happens in a while, remember that I am behind you."

The implication is don't be cowardly, I will support you.

Lin Qingmian nodded with a smile.

Walking to the living room, Lin Qingmian heard an arrogant voice from a distance: "A cook, the food he cooks can improve mental strength. This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year."

As soon as Lin Qingmian entered the living room, she saw clearly the owner of the voice, Zhao Wentian.

The other party had a mocking look on his face, and his expression was very punchy.

Lin Qingmian smiled lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhao, I advise you to keep your words down, otherwise, be careful that you will become a joke after a while."

As soon as Zhao Wentian said this, his expression changed instantly: "What are you, you dare to talk to me like that?"

Lin Qingmian's face also turned cold: "What is your identity? Neither the host nor the guest spoke, so it's your turn to speak nonsense here as a follower?"

Regardless of Zhao Wentian's identity and background, he came to the West District today as the third prince's entourage. An entourage must have the consciousness of an entourage.

Zhao Wentian's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

Obviously, his anger just now was just to test Lin Qingmian.It would be much more convenient for them if they were cowardly and soft.

But obviously, Lin Qingmian was jealous when she came up, and she wasn't afraid at all. This attitude was a bit difficult.

At this moment, the third prince said: "It's because I didn't take care of the people under my command, offended."

The attitude of the third prince seemed to be very polite and kind.

With a smile on his face, Lin Qingmian commented lightly in his heart.Without his instruction, Zhao Wentian would not have acted so arrogantly.

The scene regained its superficial harmony for a while, and several people on the field exchanged bureaucratic accents, and what they said was better than what they said, but it was unclear what they were actually thinking.

The third prince suddenly turned the topic to Lin Qingmian: "I heard that the dishes made by Mr. Lin can not only improve the spiritual power, but also have a unique taste. I can't wait to taste Mr. Lin's cooking."

Without waiting for others to say anything, Zhao Wentian immediately jumped out and said, "Let me ask in advance, is there a place for me as an attendant for today's meal?"

"Of course there are." Duan Yuefei replied with a good temper.No matter what Zhao Wentian said, they are all members of the Consul Zhao's family, and they are followers in name, and they can't really treat people as followers.

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhao Wentian immediately glanced at Lin Qingmian contemptuously, and said, "Since I have my position, there is something I have to say. I'm a very picky person, and I can't help but like dishes cooked by others." I can’t eat it, I’m only willing to eat the food made by Chef Bai Sihan Bai of White Restaurant.”

The implication is that Lin Qingmian's craftsmanship is not as good as Bai Sihan's.

Duan Chen couldn't help it anymore, and said directly in a cold tone: "Then you go to the White restaurant and eat. You came here to look for Bai Sihan, are you blind and don't know the way?"

"Marshal Duan personally admitted that I was also among those being entertained, why? I just want to eat the food cooked by Chef Bai. Are you unable to call someone, or are you afraid to call?"

Duan Chen had already clenched his fists, but Lin Qingmian gently held them to comfort him.

"Okay, then call Bai Sihan over."

He has been tied to death on the Duan family's boat now, and those people will try to suppress him no matter what.

Calling Bai Sihan over was nothing more than wanting to use Bai Sihan's cooking skills to slap him in the face and make him suffer.

However, Lin Qingmian had never lost in cooking, so he came whenever he came and saw who hit whose face.

When Bai Sihan was called over, all kinds of ingredients and side dishes were available, obviously he had been notified in advance and had prepared them long ago.

It's just that until today, Zhao Wentian wanted him to cooperate with a chef to cook a banquet, and to suppress the other chef.But he didn't know that the chef to cooperate with was Lin Qingmian.

He was a little surprised, and at the same time felt a little humiliated in his heart.

A person like Lin Qingmian deserves him to make such a serious move?

But that's good too, Lin Qingmian seems to have been against him since he appeared, and he has ruined many things. Now that he has this opportunity, he will teach Lin Qingmian what real food is.

In the eyes of Zhao Wentian and Bai Sihan, Lin Qingmian, a scumbag who was dropped out of the food department, even if he got lucky and suddenly became able to cook, so what? Bai Sihan grew up.
