The dazzling starlight of the halberd

"However, since we are in Shanghai, we still have to eat some Shanghai cuisine? After all, we are here, we still have to do what we should do!" Liu Xingyao said to the people behind him.

Liu Xingyao is such a person. No matter how busy or tired he is, he still has to enjoy things, let alone cooking.But when it comes to Shanghai cuisine, it is naturally "Shanghai cuisine" that immediately comes to mind.

Shanghai cuisine is "Shanghai cuisine", and it is also one of the main local dishes in China.The local cuisine is another name for Shanghai cuisine, and it is an important genre of Han traditional food culture in Jiangnan area.

The so-called local gang means local.It is characterized by thick oily red sauce, moderate saltiness, maintaining the original flavor, and mellow and delicious.

Commonly used cooking methods are braised, simmered, and sugar.Later, in order to adapt to the light and refreshing taste of Shanghainese, the dishes gradually changed from the original heavy oil red sauce to light and refreshing.The cooking method of this group of dishes is good at using sugar, which has a unique Jiangnan flavor.

And because of the long-term coexistence and mutual influence of Shanghai local cuisine and foreign cuisine, based on the original local cuisine, it has gradually developed into a Shanghai-style cuisine system with Shanghai and Suzhou-Xixian flavors as the main body and both local flavors.

But because Shanghai is a coastal port, especially after the opening of the Nanjing Treaty, seafood here is even more popular with locals and outsiders.

...

At this time, inside the largest hotel in Shanghai

Liu Xingyao, Gangbang Jie, and Dai then added Mila, Feisha, Erina, Tian Suohui, Han Qing, and Yao Niang, a total of nine people directly ordered a table of Shanghai cuisine starters.

At this time, every dish on the table is a famous local Shanghai dish.But because Erina, Tian Suohui, and Hisako are not originally from this world and Chinese, they don't know much about Shanghai cuisine.

"This... are these all top dishes? They look so delicious!" Tian Suohui said with a little excitement.

Liu Xingyao nodded and looked at the Shanghai specialties such as "steamed sea fish", "stir-fried eel paste", and "rock sugar turtle" on the table, and said: "In fact, Shanghai cuisine is a general term that includes Shanghai Jiangnan local cuisine, including Dahe and Yangtze River. , And lakes and rivers of innumerable sizes.

Jiangnan is indeed a fertile place. Thanks to these, there are many kinds of dishes on the table, such as fried eel paste, rock sugar turtle, etc.!"

The steel rod was relieved and recovered for a few days. Today, I finally had a big meal. Naturally, I couldn't help but drink some wine. He picked up a glass of wine and said, "Yes, in this fertile land, the crops are harvested. Therefore, since ancient times, places like this place and the Yangtze River have been called the "land of fish and rice"!"

Everyone on the table listened with gusto, especially the three women including Erina, who didn't know much about Chinese culture.

While talking, everyone would not politely use their chopsticks to eat. After eating, the women couldn't help nodding their heads, because these dishes are indeed delicious!

"So, is this the taste of Shanghai cuisine? Moderate salty and fresh, diverse flavors, and taste very tough!" Feisha nodded.

Liu Xingyao went on to explain, “The reason why the cuisine here is so'tough' is because this is to let the seasonal crops grown in a mild climate show their most natural flavors, and eat them on crops that are full of sunlight. It looks like this...this is also a major feature of Shanghai cuisine!"

At this point, a small second in a restaurant walked over to the table of Liu Xingyao and others with another dish.

"Several guest officers, I have kept you waiting for a long time~ This is the food you ordered!" The shop Xiaoer said and delivered the food to everyone.

Seeing this, Gangbang couldn't help but poked his hands. The thief smiled: "Hey, I specially ordered this dish, and I finally brought it..."

"Please take your time!"

At this time, everyone can see clearly what is on the big plate. Isn't this a crab?

"Is it a Shanghai crab?"

Shanghai crabs are actually called "hairy crabs" or "Chinese mitten crabs".Also known as river crab, it is a prestigious delicacy in China.

Its chelipods are used for feeding and fighting enemies. The inner and outer edges of the palms are densely covered with villi, which gives the mitten crab its name.China is widely distributed in lakes along the north and south coasts. Among them, the Yangtze River system has the largest output, and the taste is extremely delicious.

"Crab" is undoubtedly a major feature of Shanghai cuisine!

The head and breastplate of the Shanghai crab on the plate is round and square, and the back half is wider than the front half.The back is raised, the forehead and the liver area are sunken, and there are 6 symmetrical protrusions in the front of the stomach area, each with granules. Obviously this is the best crab in Shanghai 1.9!

"Hahaha, come and have a taste!"

After speaking, everyone picked up a Shanghai crab and ate it, and couldn't help but admire it while eating.

"The meat is fat and sweet, and the authentic Shanghai crabs are really delicious. Then I have a sip of wine~ It's a real treat!"

"Well, because they will never use dead crabs, so it tastes like this. Just steam it directly and add a little ginger soy sauce. I'm afraid this taste can only be eaten in Shanghai. Right!"

In response to that sentence, what kind of cuisine you want to eat, you must go to this birthplace, because you can eat the authentic taste.

Chapter 226 The Great Alliance

The freshness of seafood from these places in Shanghai, let alone others, is absolutely guaranteed.So after eating this plate of Shanghai crabs, everyone has an aftertaste. The taste is really nothing to say...

When everyone was eating well, they started to discuss the main task of coming to Shanghai.

Because the room I was in was a private room, I couldn't hear it outside as long as it was not very loud.Jidi still had a face with a paralyzed face. He lowered his voice and said: "The news has been released. Legend has it that one of the kitchen utensils has fallen here in Shanghai. People in the dark cooking world must also look for its whereabouts..."

Mentioned that everyone in the dark cooking world couldn’t help but turn their attention to Mila and Han Qing... But all of this can be understood. After all, it has not been long since Mila and Han Qing joined the chef team, and they were born in the dark cooking world. It is normal for people to be wary.

"Oh, it's still at a loss now. We don't even have news about the legendary kitchenware at 09. To find such a small kitchenware in a place as big as Shanghai, this is like finding a needle in a haystack!" Gangbang complained involuntarily. .

Just as Liu Xingyao was about to speak out some information from the original work, Mila nodded to Han Qing, and Han Qing began to speak.

"Everyone, I do have a way to find legendary kitchen utensils..." Han Qing said.

"Oh, what's the way to talk and listen!" Gangbang said with joy.

All eyes fell on Han Qing, waiting for her to follow.

After Han Qing pondered for a moment, he slowly said, "I wonder if you have ever heard of Shanghai's'Great United'?"

"The Great United?" Jidi thinks where he heard the "Great United", but I can't remember where it is.

Seeing the confusion on the faces of everyone, Han Qing continued to explain: "Dalian, that is the abbreviation of the'Shanghai Chefs Federation' located in a remote area of ​​Nanjing Road. All Shanghai cuisine is'eat'. Everything is managed by them. So I think there must be news about the legendary kitchenware if you go here!"

Han Qing said the full name of "Great United", and Jidi also remembered something: "Yes, you can indeed go to this place. This'Shanghai Chef's Federation' is the same as'Chef Company'. A joint union formed by the chefs. But I heard one difference is that he is more mobile than the "Chef Company" and can exercise powerful power!"

Gangbangjie and others were a little confused, and couldn't help but wonder: "What does this mean?"

"You should all know that Shanghai is different from the long-established Guangzhou cuisine. Because of a series of factors, it can be said that Shanghai is a new thing. It is a development of Chinese cuisine developed by a smorgasbord of cuisines from all over the Yangtze River. It is not only gathered in Shanghai. The history of the restaurant is very short, and there are many shops that are not good for outsiders and foreigners.

Besides, there are many ingredients from foreign countries that come here via the Yangtze River or the sea. In order to distribute these things fairly, everyone can't wait to have a strong union organization, so..."

Although Jidi did not finish, everyone did not understand the meaning of his words.

Feisha's face changed slightly, and said, "That is to say, those people in the big unity are likely to have been colluding with people in the dark cooking world?"

"Then...Isn't the legendary kitchen utensils in their hands?" Tian Suohui immediately became worried.

Liu Xingyao shook his head and said: "It's not enough...Although people in the dark cooking world may be mixed with the big united people, it is not enough to collude together. Moreover, these people should know the importance of the legendary kitchen utensils. Wouldn't it be easy to hand this thing to them, besides, the legendary kitchen utensils may not be in the hands of the Great United."

After thinking for a while on the 117th, he stood up with a chuckle, and said: "There is not much time left. Now it is basically certain that the people in the dark cooking world must be on the side of the big unity. We can't sit and wait! "

Liu Xingyao nodded his head and expressed seconding and the first suggestion.

Evening is coming soon, when a full moon hangs high in the sky shining on the Shanghai metropolis that never sleeps.

However, there must be shadows under the light. At this time, at the direct current source of the Yangtze River, a small boat slowly entered the Shanghai section.

On the boat is a group of strange people. Almost everyone is wearing black robes. Everyone exudes a gloomy air. These people are not good people at first glance.
