Food King [Interstellar]

Knowing that Jiang Tang and Luo Xun are going to leave, many people want to grab a meal before they leave. For example, friends who are very familiar with Adam, directly ask Jiang Tang to treat him to a meal before allowing him to leave, such as Andre The other one took the initiative to invite the couple to dinner. Of course, Jiang Tang knew that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and the purpose of inviting him to dinner was to invite him back, so he simply invited the other party to dinner.

Luo Xun suggested that it would be a meal anyway, so we could invite everyone to eat together to save trouble.Jiang Tang thought it was a good idea, so on this Saturday night, Jiang Tang was the host and invited all the people to the house for dinner.Their house is a welfare house allocated to them by the government, a detached garden villa.In this era of less people and more land, the most worrying thing is the housing problem.

Jiang Tang did a rough calculation, including his own family, there were a total of ten people eating, so he started preparing ingredients and menus early.As a result, on the day of the treat, more than ten guests came, many of them uninvited.Andre brought Dempsey to the general, Adam and his uncle Howard brought President Barry Short, and a few government colleagues who came to fight the autumn wind, all of them were ministers and generals. Drive people away, besides, they all brought gifts.But the dishes prepared by Jiang Tang were obviously not enough. He looked at the pile of ingredients, frowning and thinking about what to add.

Adam went to the kitchen: "Is there a hot pot?"

Jiang Tang glanced at Adam, a large group of dignitaries gathered around to eat hot pot, or is this a hot day?Thank goodness he figured it out!Just about to refuse, Admiral Dempsey also came over: "I heard that you had a hot pot meal at Stanley last time. It was delicious. I wonder if you were lucky enough to have it today."

Jiang Tang thought for a while and said, "Since you want to eat hot pot so much, then eat hot pot." Anyway, the bosses don't mind, so what does he mind as a chef.

Like a kid who got a reward, Adam happily went out to report the news, and Admiral Dempsey also expressed his satisfaction.Wen Di, who had been helping in the kitchen, said, "What else should I do?"

Jiang Tang called Li Ang: "Two, quickly go to the Shadow and get me a big piece of frozen beef and mutton." That was the food he had stored.

Upon hearing this, Li Ang nodded in agreement.Wen Di said: "Don't you have beef and mutton here? Why do you have to go to the Shadow to get them? Even if you don't have any, you can go to the farmers' market to buy them right away. The market doesn't close until nine o'clock in the evening."

Jiang Tang said: "The meat here is not frozen, so it is not easy to cut. I personally select the beef and mutton on the Shadow, all from Stanley. If you go to the vegetable market to buy, no one knows the goods. Can't find time to go."

"You are really fastidious!" Wen Di said.

"Eating hot pot is actually eating the original flavor of the food, so the ingredients are very particular. If the ingredients are not good, it is basically impossible to eat." Jiang Tang said.

Wen Di wrote down what Jiang Tang said, and Daniel said, "Wen Di, do you hear me? Remember it carefully."

Wen Di said, "Then how do I know if it's Stanley's or somewhere else?"

Jiang Tang said: "Generally there are places of origin, but there may also be shoddy ones. The color of Stanley's beef is lighter than that of other places, and the fat and muscle in the beef are randomly mixed. Wait for Li Ang later. I’ll teach you how to identify them. Their beef is particularly tender, with a delicate and plump taste, which is completely different from other places.”

Daniel bumped Wendi with his elbow: "Did you hear that?" Wendi listened like an open-minded student and wrote it down silently.

Jiang Tang began to prepare other ingredients. This time, apart from mutton and beef, there were also Angus's beluga and fragrant pork, Spanda's gerbil meat, Plant's seafood, and various ingredients from other planets. They just wanted to eat The hot pot is stewed in one pot, which saves him from thinking about other dishes. Hot pot is much simpler and less troublesome than cooking.

Because everyone came here for Jiang Tang's craftsmanship. Although Wen Di and Daniel were helping, he didn't borrow the hands of others. Two dishes, one hot pot, the main food is fried rice, plus a snack and fruit after the meal, enough for everyone to eat.

The four cold dishes are cold dishes, sauced beef, sliced ​​suckling pig, appetizing seafood platter, pork tongue, pork belly, boneless duck feet and chicken feet platter. Jiang Tang thinks it is very rare. He can still buy suckling pig. It should be flat Such a dish is still preserved in the restaurant.

Bare is eight hot dishes, beef in oyster sauce, shredded chicken sauce, three sets of duck, chrysanthemum fish, five-spice prawns, steamed crab, braised gerbil meat, and the final soup is Buddha jumping over the wall. Each dish is exquisite.

The hot pot ingredients are extremely rich, beef, mutton, beluga fish meat, shrimp, fish, fragrant pork, gerbil meat and various vegetarian dishes from the nine agricultural stars, piled up a whole kitchen.

The staple food is assorted fried rice, the after-dinner snack is Black Forest cake, and the fruit is a large fruit platter from all over the world.This meal is full of federal characteristics, and it is estimated that no one has eaten such a rich dinner.

When Jiang Tang was still cooking, Luo Xun, as another host, was accompanying the guests outside. While drinking Jiang Tang's concocted drinks, everyone talked freely. All the people who came were political figures. Normally, such elites should gather together to talk about it. Political economy and other current affairs, but if you listen carefully, they are actually discussing food with Luo Xun.Jiang Tang squeezed the juice, cooked corn juice and hot chocolate, everyone drank to their hearts content, and asked Luo Xun how to make these drinks.

While drinking hot chocolate, Andre said: "Among our group, the happiest is Admiral Luo. He is with the God of Cookery every day, and he can eat whatever he wants."

Adam hooked Luo Xun's neck: "That's right, I said Luo Xun, you can lend me Jiang Tang for a few months, and I will return it on time."

Luo Xun gave him a white look: "Do you think he is my property? I will lend it to you, don't even think about it."

"Hee hee, then I'll go with you. Father, you can send me a mission, and I will inspect the Milky Way on your behalf." Adam curved to save the country, and turned his attention to his own father.Mr. President was dragged here by Adam and Howard. They thought he was too serious and life was very boring. They asked him to enjoy the fun of life.

Mr. President looked at Adam: "I don't know you yet, don't you just want to go out with Admiral Rosen? It's none of your business. Just give the task of patrolling the galaxy to Admiral Rosen. You go back to Nat."

"Oh." Adam drooped his head in disappointment.

Rosen looked at Adam amusedly, picked up the pot of hot chocolate and said, "Mr. President, do you want some more?"

Although Mr. President still had a lot to say, he still waved his hand: "No need for now. I heard that the food tonight is very delicious. I am waiting to enjoy the food."

Rosen smiled and said, "Alright."

Li Ang came out, walked up to Luo Xun, and whispered in his ear: "Jiang Tang said that the meal is ready, and you can invite everyone to the table." Apart from the two domestic robots, there are no other helpers in their house. He automatically regarded himself as their housekeeper and subordinate. Although Jiang Tang told him not to do this, Li Ang always turned around silently and went to work, Jiang Tang didn't say anything else, Li Ang was alone, even He didn't have any friends, and if he didn't follow him, he really didn't know where to go. It would be much more convenient for him to have Li Ang's help.

Luo Xun then invited everyone to sit down, and everyone took the initiative to wait for Mr. President to be seated first. Mr. President waved his hand: "You don't have to be so polite, there is no seniority or inferiority today, everyone sit down casually, we are all guests of Luo Xun and Jiang Tang .” He said and found a place to sit down.

When everyone saw him like this, they were not polite and took their seats one after another.Jiang Tang did not use a long table. Due to the large number of people, he purposely brought in two round tables, each with a turntable. Like eating Chinese food, everyone gathered around a table to eat and drink. It felt like a reunion dinner.In addition to four cold and eight hot, there are also sour and delicious appetizers such as cold lettuce shreds and sea vegetables.

The table was full of dishes, whether it was the color or the presentation, it opened the eyes of the people present. Most of them had never had such a sumptuous dinner in their lives.During the meal, Jiang Tang introduced the name and general method of each dish to everyone in turn.The sliced-skinned suckling pig was roasted to a golden brown and crispy, crispy and delicious, but the quantity was too small, and everyone couldn't get enough of it; the sauced beef was delicious...every dish was extremely delicious, and it had its own uniqueness, which made the diners crave The fragrance on the cheeks is unforgettable.Especially when eating Buddha Jumping Over the Wall at the end, Jiang Tang lifted the lid of the jar that had been placed in the center of the table, and an indescribable strange fragrance immediately permeated the whole room. They all stared at the jar.Jiang Tang and Luo Xun personally served soup for everyone, no more, no less, eight bowls per pot, so delicious that people even forgot their own names, it was amazing.

Adam couldn't help feeling: "This is really Buddha jumping over the wall? Jiang Tang, this is completely different from the recipe you gave me."

Jiang Tang said: "Of course, the menu I gave you was limited in materials, not as rich as this one. I will copy a new one for you later. Now it is convenient and you can buy everything."

All the dignitaries in the room stopped eating, looked at Jiang Tang, and finally someone asked, "Can you make me a copy too?"

Jiang Tang looked around and said with a smile, "Okay, you can take whatever you want."

Mr. President said: "So I have it too?"

Jiang Tang tried his best to suppress a smile, and nodded vigorously: "Of course."

Everyone reluctantly finished eating Buddha Jumping the Wall, and drank the last drop of soup.The whole table was eaten up, and this group of 1.9-[-] meter strong men was still only half full.Jiang Tang said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, eat some dim sum first. After I remove the dishes, let's start eating hot pot."

Daniel said: "Don't eat dim sum first, and eat dim sum after the hot pot."

Howard said: "Yes, you have been busy for us all day today, let us help you do the work now." So everyone worked together to remove the messy plates on the table, and then put the mandarin duck soup pot that had been prepared, All kinds of dishes that had been prepared were brought to the table, and they began to eat the second round.

If you were a little reserved just now, eating hot pot will completely break this boundary. Everyone, regardless of seniority or seniority, will all boil and grab meat in the same pot. Not to mention how interesting it is, especially the food is extraordinarily delicious. People feel like a big family.

Adam said to Lao Tzu who was working hard, "Father, is the hot pot delicious?"

Mr. President gave a vague "hmm".Admiral Dempsey took over the conversation: "Sure enough, it's more interesting to eat hot pot, which is the excitement of eating."

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "As long as everyone likes it." Hot pot is actually not suitable for eating with unfamiliar people, but if everyone does not dislike it, then everyone is happy.

While eating, Adam suddenly remembered something: "Luo Xun, when will you and Jiang Tang get married?"

Luo Xun and Jiang Tang were taken aback by this question. They looked at each other, and Luo Xun smiled and said, "Let's wait until Jiang Tang's father is around. I want to invite him to our wedding."

The President said, "Is that Otis?"

Jiang Tang looked at Mr. President in surprise, he actually knew about his relationship with Oshannon, he nodded: "Yes."

"Wouldn't that mean we can't get married in Peret? We won't be able to attend your wedding anymore." Daniel said with some regret. They are both working in the federal government now, and it seems that they will stay in Peret for a while.

Howard said: "It's easy to handle. You can have a civil marriage here, we will witness for you, and then the wedding will be held when you and Otis are together."

Everyone thought this proposal was good, and Andre said: "Aren't you going to leave soon? Tomorrow is Sunday, let's notarize at the city hall at noon, and we will all go to witness for you, and let Mr. President issue a marriage certificate to you .”

Mr. President stopped and nodded: "Okay."

Several young people were very excited: "Great, we will all go tomorrow."

Luo Xun looked at Jiang Tang, smiled and said, "Then tomorrow?"

Jiang Tang smiled slightly, did not speak, then got up and walked out.Everyone looked at Jiang Tang puzzled, is he unwilling?Daniel asked suddenly: "What's going on, Brother Xun?"

Fei Qi, who spoke very little, suddenly said, "It's probably because he hasn't proposed yet."

Luo Xun rubbed his forehead in embarrassment. It was indeed the case. Back then, Ou Shangnong talked to him alone about this issue, and he also agreed. As long as he could, he would marry Jiang Tang. Now it is indeed possible. He Now that he has an identity, he no longer has to hide in hiding, like a mouse living in a dark sewer, so that Jiang Tang can't see the light, but he intends to wait for Ou Shannon to meet them before getting married, so he hasn't formally proposed yet.

Jiang Tang had been out for a while, and Luo Xun stood up a little uneasy: "I'll go out and take a look." Everyone nodded in understanding: "Go." Is Jiang Tang shy?

As a result, before Luo Xun went out, Jiang Tang came in. Holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, he walked up to Luo Xun with a smile, knelt down on one knee, held up the flowers and a grass ring in his hand, and looked up at Luo Xun. Xun: "Roson, are you willing to marry me? I don't have a ring ready, I will replace it with a grass ring first, and change to a diamond ring tomorrow."

Luo Xun's face turned red all of a sudden, this Jiang Tang was really unexpected.All the people in the room erupted in good-natured laughter and applause. Adam put his hand in his mouth and blew a whistle: "Wow, I'm about to say yes!"

Luo Xun looked at Jiang Tang, who was kneeling on the ground, and looked back at the friends and bigwigs who were watching the excitement. He stretched out his hand to wipe his face in embarrassment, held back his smile, and took the handful of flowers picked from the garden in the yard and the Grass Ring: "I am willing."

Jiang Tang was dying of laughter. Luo Xun definitely didn't expect that he would counterattack like this. In the relationship between the two of them, Luo Xun had always been the leader, and he was secretly delighted that he had succeeded in a prank.Luo Xun still stretched out his hand, solemnly asking Jiang Tang to put on the grass ring for him.

The audience gave warm applause, and the marriage proposal ceremony pushed the dinner to a climax.Jiang Tang stood up, put a ring on Luo Xun, hooked Luo Xun's neck, and pressed a happy kiss.
