Sword Raiders II

In the first phase, I was afraid of flames, and the lights with big bean sprouts are fine, but I rarely go to kitchens that use a lot of open flames many times, especially when someone cooks, they will be very repulsed. Same.

Yu Li was considerate of her valet, not only did she not let him get close to the kitchen guards, she even arranged for him to sit and wait in the quiet room where the guests rested.

"Anyway, those guests will definitely not stay here when it's my turn to do it. Everyone has almost given birthday gifts to Mrs. Hosokawa and is about to enter the venue for the banquet. It's easier to talk about the kitchen, so you can rest assured Stay here and rest."

Forcibly pinning her down in a luxurious tea room not far from the kitchen, Yu Li patted Yi Qi on the shoulder, then turned around and left with the waiter who reminded her that a birthday banquet would be held in half an hour.

Taidao left behind by force: "..."

The lord loves himself so much, but he deserves it in the first period. This also means that he is useless in some occasions, and he can't even do a perfect job of guardianship.

But...that's flames...

Thinking of this word, the blue-haired young man in military uniform straightened his lips subconsciously. When the burning city and himself who was also swallowed by the sea of ​​flames appeared in his mind, his straight shoulders slightly collapsed, and his eyelids drooped bitterly.

I am really... useless.

On the other side, at the side of the big kitchen, the person in charge who had been watching the birthday celebration passed through the corridor, opened the door and hurriedly shouted: "Master Xinggong, the guests will be transferred to the restaurant in 10 minutes, may I ask the kitchen staff?" side……"

Before he finished speaking, the person in charge was startled by the neat rows of dining cars that he saw as soon as he opened the door.

No, it should be said that it’s not just these, but the quiet and orderly atmosphere in the big kitchen. There are more than a dozen chefs standing inside, each with their own work, and the sound of cutting and cooking can be heard from time to time , but there was no one talking, those sounds of frying, frying and even cooking made the big kitchen very quiet. Everyone was doing their own things silently, but they could tacitly connect with each other The next process.

The identities of these chefs are very clear to the person in charge, each of them is a well-known restaurant chef, if the Hosokawa family does it themselves, even if they offer generous rewards, they may not be able to invite all of them this time.Now they are all gathered in the big kitchen of the old house, and they are doing the work of helping the cook silently without any resistance, and they are willing to accept the command to form a qualified team, all for one reason, because they are directing their guy.

"It's been ready a long time ago." In the big kitchen, the only bright woman in chef's attire turned her head from the front of the stove. Send it over."

"Yes... yes!" Watching the chef put the tofu on the chopping board into the bowl filled with water, the tofu that was lumpy turned into delicate white chrysanthemum in an instant, the person in charge swallowed , immediately turned around and called the two teams of waiters who were waiting at the door, "Hurry up and deliver all the food! Be careful!"

With the addition of the lottery team, the big kitchen suddenly became noisy, but it did not affect the rhythm of the cooks at all.

On the other side of the home court, after the guests finished a routine round of birthday celebrations, the host family finally opened the banquet they were most looking forward to. When the patriarch of the Hosokawa family asked them to move to the banquet hall, many people secretly relieved.

"It's finally about to start." Many of them came here on empty stomachs for God of Cooking's cooking, and they are really hungry now.

Keigo Atobe was one of them. He had been looking forward to this banquet since the day he received the invitation from the Hosokawa family. He followed his father to the scene and pretended to be full of self-cultivation and cultivation that an heir to a consortium should have. Gorgeous, and chatted with familiar peers such as the Akashi family in the middle, but in his heart he counted the time a little impatiently.

I didn't expect that my uncle would have such an unglamorous day because of his stuttering.

The young master of the Atobe family still couldn't suppress his expectations for the banquet after saying so much in his heart. Who let the cook who made this banquet conquer his stomach before he became a chef? with.He still can't forget the amazing [Four Seasons Banquet] that year. As for the [Samsara Banquet] that pushed it to the top in one fell swoop, even the Emperor's family was the guests. At that time, he had no qualifications to attend it. up.

The chef's craftsmanship is already priceless.

After all, the Hosokawa family was so proud to exchange the land for a banquet for the God of Cooking to celebrate their grandmother's birthday, and also let other aristocratic chaebols enjoy another banquet. The young master said that he would not miss it no matter what.

Looking around at those heavyweight faces who were usually very busy in the impression, but now they all gathered together, Mr. Atobe was secretly satisfied. Obviously, he was not the only one who thought so at the scene, which is very good.

The waiter leading the way led the guests all the way, and soon came to the door of the restaurant. As the huge barrier door was slowly opened by the two waiters, a large room full of beauty and wind appeared in front of everyone. .

Because it was the old man's birthday, the Dahiro Room, which was supposed to be a quiet and solemn place, was specially decorated in a very festive way. The Hosokawa family's grandmother's favorite golden and red colors were used as the main colors. , and the bamboo curtains used to separate the rooms are all raised high without any obstruction. When the beautiful Jiugong Lantern above the head sprinkles bright light, the entire Daguang Room is also rendered more magnificent.

But at the moment, everyone didn't pay much attention to the gorgeous large room that was specially converted into a restaurant, but almost all their eyes were on the banquet table.

It is not a long table or round table commonly seen at banquets, but a specially customized huge table. The table is still in a perfect circle as a whole, and a pair of tableware for guests is still placed on the edge. It is only necessary to look at the center of the table. Seeing that the desktop is partially hollowed out, directly forming a beautiful and gorgeous picture.

It's not a layered wood carving, but a paper-cut picture. You can see the outline of the lines but not the specific details, but everyone can still clearly see what is drawn just by the lines.

There are flowers, auspicious clouds, pines, cypresses, and cranes, vines, luxuriant birds and beasts. The theme of birthday celebration is clearly expressed without any level of detail, and as long as you look at it for a little longer, you can quickly find it. The general outline of the painting on the desktop faintly forms a word "Shou".

"Is this...carved painting?" The knowledgeable guest exclaimed in surprise.

"Exactly." The head of the Xichuan clan who supported his mother nodded and replied, "My mother is very quiet by nature and doesn't like to go out, so she likes carving and painting very much. After this incident, I personally found a carver and painter, and collaborated to draw a pattern and custom-made this longevity banquet table."

Isn't this equivalent to making a personal customization for your home?But it's no wonder that the Da Guang Room is used as a restaurant, such a large table really needs a large space.

Just when many people thought this way, the Hosokawa patriarch was already inviting the guests to sit down.

"This banquet table is not just for looking good, you will know it after you take your seat."

Naturally, the guests would not refuse, and sat down in their respective positions according to the lead of the waiter.Dongying is a country with distinct classes. On weekdays, office workers and colleagues will strictly distinguish between the upper and lower leaders. What's more, it can be said that this is a situation where all the big families gather together.

Needless to say, the host’s family must be the main seat, but the only ones who can sit next to the old birthday star are the leaders of the clan such as the old patriarch Maeda and the head of the Tokugawa family. Juniors like Keigo Atobe and Seijuro Akashi are on campus. You may be able to get a lot of praise and followers in the society and society, but you can only sit quietly at the back here where the big shots gather.

Because of this, the two met again and sat not far from each other.

After Akashi took his seat, he nodded to the familiar Atobe, and then looked around at his peers from other families, and soon he had a clear idea.

As expected, the Kyogoku family did not come.

That's right, they used the pretext of the heir's coming-of-age ceremony to invite the teacher to watch the ceremony, but they took the opportunity to force her to accept her daughter who was also studying in Yuanyue as a disciple. "Qingjiang", suffered a counterattack afterwards, and the instant food and bento industry that occupied a share of Dongying Country was directly robbed by the Tokugawa family with the teacher's new formula. edge.

Not to mention that because of the God of Cooking competition, someone took advantage of the resentment of Kyogoku's daughter to guide her to destroy the teacher's beloved set of kitchen knives, even if it was found out afterwards that Kyogoku's daughter was used as a gun There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

Now that I know that Hosokawa's family invited the teacher to come over to organize the banquet, it's no surprise that no one came from their family.

While Akashi was thinking about something, the waiters pushing the dining carts had already entered the arena, as if they had been rehearsed countless times, they skillfully divided into two teams and surrounded the huge dining table, serving each guest the first appetizer at the banquet .

The appetizers are served with exquisite lacquerware. After the waiter lifted the lid in unison, a refreshing plum fruit fragrance spread out. The taste is not strong, but it made everyone who was a little tired from the entertainment in the lobby before With a revival of spirit, his throat involuntarily swallowed the saliva that was suddenly secreted.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long." The old birthday star said with a smile at this time, "Are you hungry? Please use it."

The host opened his mouth, and everyone at the table took up their chopsticks without hesitation and began to enjoy the dinner.

The appetizer is a plate of marinated plum meat, which is picked when it grows most mature and beautiful, then peeled, pitted, and sliced, and finally dehydrated and marinated in a special way. Arranged in the shape of plum blossoms, they are quietly served in a rectangular red dish.

A small piece of plum meat was gently picked up and put into the mouth gracefully or impatiently. When chewing tentatively, everyone's eyes widened in unison.

"Delicious!" Someone couldn't help shouting, "This is the first time I have eaten such delicious pickled plums!"

"It is obviously marinated plum meat, but the taste is fresh and refreshing as if it was just picked. How can this be done!"

"The taste buds are completely opened up. I used to feel a little tight in the chest because of too many people, but I feel much more comfortable after eating this."

"Have you seen a plum garden full of fruits? I have seen it. It's really beautiful."

"What about the next one? What's the next one? I'm looking forward to it!"

Daguangjian, who was supposed to be stressful sitting with them because there were too many bosses, suddenly became lively. People now focused on the food and chatted with each other in a relaxed manner.

And the heir of the Hosokawa family, who was so focused on observing the guests and took a step too late to use the dishes, was also watching this scene in surprise. He lowered his head and glanced at the plate of pickled plums in front of him in disbelief. It was just an appetizer. , just let these guests who don't know what they haven't eaten look like this?

He couldn't help but also swallowed, and only then did he understand a little bit why his father invited the God of Cooking despite the opposition of his tribe.

"Master Likong, why don't you eat it?" The young man sitting on his left couldn't help asking when he saw that he was not moving. He smacked his lips regretfully.

Shocked, Hosokawa Riku looked back and saw this person staring at his pickled plum dish, then looked down at the emptied disc in front of him, and quickly squeezed his chopsticks and started to eat.

After observing something, I will talk about it later. I feel that if I slow down a little bit, the family member of the same generation next to me may be able to do the thing of grabbing food.

The food that the family only exchanged for two pieces of land will not be given to you!
