Chapter 42: The Great Harmony of the World
In the early morning of the next day, the wind and snow were gone, and the two brothers walked into the main hall of Tianyi Pavilion of Chen Yinliejin through the thin snow.In the hall, the plaque hangs high and the silk thread is swaying. Looking around, it is magnificent and bright.The dishes prepared for the guests are exquisite and mellow, and the maids who come in and out are also fresh and beautiful.This round of competition must be the best in the first test to enter, and Tianyi Pavilion specially issued invitations to invite all major swordsmen and top diners to attend.Naturally, Zhuo Yun could get this invitation.
In the second round of competition, there are two groups of swordsmen: the chef and the second swordsman.Cooperate with each other to complete a dish.And the old man who is in charge of this round of competition is the very prestigious Shao Lao.
As soon as Zhuo Yichen came in and saw Mr. Shao, he became more excited, and immediately stepped forward to salute.Shao Lao smiled and helped him up, and patted his shoulder to show that he had high hopes.As a fair and impartial master of ceremonies, it is not convenient for him to have more words with any of the swordsmen participating in the competition.
Old Shao took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then announced loudly: "It is an honor to invite you today, and the second round of the Famous Swords Association will begin immediately."
All the swordsmen on the ring bowed their heads and nodded to pay tribute to everyone below.
After a short pause, Mr. Shao continued, "Today's dish is Nine Shredded Soup!"
"Thousands of ingredients are piled up with thin strands, cooked copper pipes lie on the ground to grow seedlings, and shochu and glass are used to enjoy delicacies."
Jiusi thin soup was originally a classic dish in the royal banquet. The so-called Jiusi refers to: dried tofu shreds, pork leg shreds, chicken breast shreds, winter bamboo shoots, black fungus shreds, mushroom shreds, seaweed shreds, whitebait shreds , Gizzard liver shreds.A soup made from nine kinds of Jane silk.As the name suggests, the thin strands of soup should be shredded very finely, but the soup lies in the taste, so this dish is a test of the knife skills and heat of the swordsmen.Since the method of using ingredients has been assessed in the initial dish presentation stage, the ingredients used in the second round are fixed, and each group is the same.
The practice of Jiusi Xilu soup is to dry the tofu in batches first, then shred it, cook it in clear water, drain the brine, then boil it in clear chicken broth, drain the chicken broth again, and pour in new soup to cook again.At this time, add ingredients such as pork leg shreds, chicken breast shreds, winter bamboo shoots, etc. to the soup.
This dish is characterized by high dry shreds, fresh and refreshing, and the meat and vegetables complement each other.The most important and crucial thing in Jiusi is shredded tofu.Tofu implies a certain spiritual meaning in "Qing widow".The ancients praised tofu for its "harmony", and people who eat tofu are content with poverty and let nature take its course.This dish is not extravagant but extremely delicate. Whether it is an imperial banquet recipe or a folk cuisine, this dish is easy to promote and is deeply loved.
The dried tofu used in Jiusi Xilu soup is not ordinary dried tofu, it must be dried tofu produced in the lower reaches of the water town.The fertile land near the river can grow fat and fine soybeans.Secondly, when making dried tofu, the requirements for water quality are very high.The water quality is clear and soft, and the dried tofu produced is white and tender, which is lovable.This kind of dried tofu is commonly known as square dry.Although it doesn't look big, but after being cut into thin dry shreds, it can build up a plate high.So to make a Jiusi soup, two servings of dried tofu are enough.
The test begins.
Zhuo Yichen and Zhao Han were divided into a group.Zhao Han knew that this must be the result of her father's "management from top to bottom".So she had to come here in a serious way, disguised as a man.Zhuo Yichen didn't see her many times, but he remembered this person clearly.As a result, the two recognized each other as soon as they met.
Zhuo Yichen nodded to her first.
Zhao Han said with a little anxiety: "Please... give me more advice."
Zhuo Yichen smiled at her. This peaceful smile made Zhao Han let go of the subtle worries and precautions in her heart. She was finally sure that the other party was well-intentioned and did not feel disgusted or even hostile because of the competition for the so-called crown princess. she.
As expected of the protagonist!Zhao Han said sincerely.She can be regarded as a sigh of relief for getting rid of the fate of a cannon fodder girl, and her words unconsciously carry the taste of modern people.
"Hey, my father's order must not be violated, otherwise I will have to embroider pillows in the boudoir for the rest of my life. Mr. Zhuo, no matter what, you must let me hug your thigh."
Zhuo Yichen was picking out the various ingredients placed in front of him, and when he heard this teasing tone, he suddenly felt a familiar sense of dislocation.The movement in his hands paused and continued, and he nodded without moving.
Zhao Han was happier now, and opened up and said, "Actually, when it comes to cooking, I know seven orifices and six orifices; or put it badly, it's a rolling pin blowing fire. The result of both is - I don't know anything at all. My second knife is just a vase. No, no, my current outfit is not even a vase."
This kind of funny and self-deprecating jokes reveals a sense of freshness that does not conform to this era.
Zhuo Yichen curled the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I understand." In fact, this was exactly what he wanted.He is used to handling the whole cooking process by himself, with Erdao watching and waiting, but he is a little bit tied up.
Now, it is the first part of the competition.In front of each group, there were three trays, each of which was neatly packed with stacked square stems, amounting to hundreds of yuan.The clerk stood aside with his hands down, and said respectfully: "This is called 'choosing materials'. All the dried beans are placed in front of you. Please choose them."
Like buying vegetables at the market, Zhuo Yichen reached out and looked through the tray a few times, then picked up a piece of dried tofu, looked at it carefully for a while, felt that it was not suitable, and put it back.He is not in a hurry to choose materials for cooking, but wants to appreciate the level of other top swordsmen.He glanced at the group of swordsmen beside him, but he couldn't take his gaze away from it.
Not only Zhuo Yichen, but everyone's eyes were attracted by this unattractive fat chef.I saw him close his eyes, put his right hand into the plate, flip up and down with a few fat fingers, and each time he moved, he would pick up a piece of dried tofu with his index finger and middle finger, and then he flicked his two fingers without pausing. Try the texture of dried tofu.In just a moment, he tried all the dried tofu on the tray.The chef opened his eyes, shook his head, looking very disappointed, and said to the clerk beside him, "Go to the back kitchen, and change another one for me." The side of the plate is dry.
The chef picked out all the dried tofu with just two fingers, but none of them satisfied him.
Zhuo Yichen understood it, and couldn't help but secretly admire and be surprised.Just by pinching two fingers, one can know the quality of dried tofu. Such a keen sense of touch is amazing.Moreover, all the dried tofu presented by Tianyi Pavilion were rare top grades, but the chef didn't like all of them, and the selection of ingredients had reached a level of precision and harshness.
However, the stronger the opponent, the more excited Zhuo Yichen was.Immediately, he concentrated his mind and carefully selected the dried tofu in front of him.After much deliberation, I finally selected two squares with the whitest color, fine texture and toughness, and placed them gently on the chopping board.
Standing by the side, Zhao Han, the "two swordsman in name", was secretly anxious for the chef.The chef next door picked out three stacks before choosing one of the two cubes.But Zhuo Yichen picked two pieces quickly and neatly, as if he didn't choose so carefully, so wouldn't the texture of the dried tofu be at a disadvantage?In fact, Zhuo Yichen had no choice but to do so.The two pieces of dried tofu he picked out were already at the limit of his own knowledge in terms of quality, and it would not make much sense to make more choices.
Zhuo Yun was dressed in a micro-clothes and sat down watching his brother compete on the stage.Like Zhuo Yichen, he was not in a hurry.If the elder brother won the first place, that would be expected.Even if you don't become number one in the end, it doesn't matter if you don't have a famous capital city, and it's less of a burden.And he also recognized Zhao Han, but the people in Xiangfu are his own after all, so there is no need to be so defensive.What exactly the Zhao family wanted to do by bringing Zhao Han here was actually nothing more than trying every means to draw the red line between Zhao Han and the prince.However, the plot has deviated far, far away, like a wild horse that has run away and will not come back, it seems to be heading towards the direction of great harmony in the world!
At this moment, an attendant in green clothes with a knife walked into the hall from outside the door, bypassed tables of spectators, and finally walked up to Zhuo Yun.Zhuo Yun glanced at him and asked, "How is the matter going?"
The attendant bent down, lowered his voice, and replied respectfully in a volume that only the master and servant could hear, "Reporting to Your Highness, the person who was sneaking around the house has been caught. Send out a letter, this letter is probably to be secretly reported to the First Prince."
Zhuo Yun nodded and said calmly, "Give it to me."
The attendant immediately took out an unopened letter from his arms, and presented it to His Highness with both hands.
Zhuo Yun immediately opened the letter and found that it was a secret report that the prince and the prince had an adulterous affair, such as "unreasonable thoughts", "Longyang's love", "glue like paint", and later he wrote angrily "this It is a felony that insults the dignity of the royal family! If it is not dealt with strictly, it will definitely bring disaster to the palace and commit adultery..."
Zhuo Yun sneered silently, crumpling the piece of paper in his palm.
The entourage watched his words and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, since those three people have been arrested, the subordinates should deal with them quickly to avoid future troubles!"
"Wouldn't that dirty our own hands? There's no need to kill those three people," Zhuo Yun said calmly, "You just tie them up and hand them over to the governor of the capital as assassins to imprison them. It's time for the assassination."
"Yes, my subordinate understands."
"Also, write down the matter of the assassination in the booklet and send it to the palace to the emperor, so that the old man can send someone to interrogate the three assassins. We don't have to interfere. Remember, we must exaggerate the matter, understand?"
"Understood, this subordinate obeys."
Then retreated.
In fact, even if this secret report is really in the hands of the eldest prince, based on his calculations, he will probably only happily hand over this letter to the emperor for a look, as if he felt that it was only because of the "goodness of Longyang" A very intimidating criminal evidence can depose the prince.But this also makes sense. Didn't the former emperors directly remove the prince because of "coveting brothers" and "sibling love"?
The secret report directly scolded "Longyang's goodness is causing trouble to the palace". If the emperor really heard this, he would probably feel uncomfortable.Of course, no one else knew about the emperor, so how dare they think about it.
In the second round of competition, there are two groups of swordsmen: the chef and the second swordsman.Cooperate with each other to complete a dish.And the old man who is in charge of this round of competition is the very prestigious Shao Lao.
As soon as Zhuo Yichen came in and saw Mr. Shao, he became more excited, and immediately stepped forward to salute.Shao Lao smiled and helped him up, and patted his shoulder to show that he had high hopes.As a fair and impartial master of ceremonies, it is not convenient for him to have more words with any of the swordsmen participating in the competition.
