The Feast

The two were immersed in the painting, and the time passed quickly, and they didn't know how long, and they felt that there was a noise below, and Duan Tingxuan raised his head and frowned: "What's going on? Why is it noisy?"

But I saw Li Qiushan smiled bitterly: "Yeah, Madam, this Buddha has been cooking for three hours. It's all over time now, let alone the people below are noisy, that's the dozen judges who are also hungry at this time. I had to be close to the back, and there was a person who was really hungry and drank two pots of tea mats. I ran a dozen latrines this time. "

Duan Tingxuan wondered: "Why?" It's not that they are not allowed to eat. "

Li Qiushan said: "These judges attached great importance to this competition, so before tasting the delicious food, they only drank a bowl of porridge in the morning and did not eat after brushing their teeth and mouthwash, saying that they were afraid of affecting the judgment of taste."

Duan Tingxuan and Long Pingzhang were dumbfounded. For a while, Long Talent nodded: "If nothing else, this serious and serious spirit and attitude is indeed commendable."

Duan Tingxuan coughed: "You go to see your wife and ask when she can finish it? How did it take so long? The last time was only finished in two hours. By the way, if the wife is not finished, If you go to appease the judges, you will say that Ben Shizi and Lord Long are going to starve with them. "

Li Qiushan promised, went into the kitchen and asked Su Nuannuan, and smiled bitterly when he came out: "My wife said, it will take another half an hour, please let us be restless. Oh! Such as selling in the crowd downstairs, the quasi-promising business is hot, although the money is small, but the accumulation is small, and you can make a profit of dozens of silver.

While talking, he shook his head and sighed downstairs to inform the judges of the "bad news". Here Duan Tingxuan and Long Pingzhang looked at each other, and suddenly heard a barking sound from the downstairs. The two of them probed and saw that the crowd was really crowded. Someone was rushing to sell Qingshui snacks and could n’t help but laugh: “In the end, Linqing, a city prospered by the Sifang merchants, there is no shortage of such flexible people.”

When I was painting, I didn't feel the time lapsed. This half hour of doing nothing was really hard. The only thing that was gratifying was that Long Pingzhang's head hurt for a while. This time, I finally remembered the appearance of the emperor, and even took Ouchi's general beside him Grandpa Wen remembered it.

After half an hour, ten dishes were finished.Li Qiushan took seven or eight strong men, four of them carried the two large jars and transported them to the largest private room on the second floor. The remaining dishes were packed in food boxes, which were served by the guys. In the past, the shopkeeper Li followed with his head proud and proud.

Duan Tingxuan and Long Pingzhang were about to follow him, but when Chu Xiu came out, he smiled and said, "Sister said, let's not go to the second floor to join in the excitement. Why should we let people eat and watch? This thing is both The grudges of Anle Lou and Fu Shengxiang let the shopkeeper Li stare at you, letting you come in for dinner, leaving a variety of dishes, just to eat while hot. "

This suggests that the Dahe and the two thought about it. At this time, they do n’t care about the words of saints such as “Gentleman far from the kitchen”. When they went in, they only looked at the dazzling table of dishes. Dao: "Since I left Suzhou, I haven't eaten the food you cooked. I can finally enjoy it today. Hey? What kind of dish is this red? It's beautiful and tight. Yes, this is chili. , This ... this plate can't have more than ten peppers? "

Su Nuannuan smiled and said, "Isn't it? I'm distressed, but forget about it, the seeds are all collected and can be planted next year, and can be eaten at the end of summer. Today we are fighting for the best place in the world. Name, you should pay more. "

After finishing speaking, he personally sandwiched a piece of fish into the Duan Tingxuan bowl and smiled: "Try it, this is the boiled fish I said, it's a flavor you haven't eaten, it's a bit spicy, but with your current skills, it is Not afraid. "

"Uh huh, okay, I'll try it." Xiaohou Ye smiled, and took the piece of fish to take a bite, chewed slowly in his mouth, and then took out a few chopsticks from the soup. After that, I took a long breath and yelled, "It's so addictive, it's too spicy. It turns out that peppercorns and chili peppers are the perfect match. This spicy initial uncomfortable, but after a while, it turns into a mouthful. The aroma and euphoria are the most rare. The fish meat is soaked with such materials and cooked on a large fire. It still maintains a smooth and tender taste. It is delicious. It is really rare. I do n’t know if the judges downstairs have any knowledge. The beauty of this dish. "

Long Pingzhang and Chu Xiu had never eaten chili. At this time, Chu Xiu inhaled and said softly, "The emperor Shizi also said, I haven't even noticed my tongue at this moment. I never found you saying anything. That's so good? Brother Aniu, do you think this is delicious? "

Long Pingzhang said: "I can't say that it's delicious, the fish is delicious and smooth, but the taste is too domineering. It seems that there is a fire burning in my mouth, but it's very strange, obviously It ’s uncomfortable, but I ca n’t stop chopsticks. The more spicy, the more I want to eat. What does this mean? "

Su Nuannuan laughed and said: "This is a battered physique." After seeing Long Pingzhang puzzled, she then explained with a smile: "Nothing, that sentence was just a joke with you. You are a pie, It is the person who loves chili. But three or five times, I ’m afraid I ca n’t leave it. But this thing is really domineering, I do n’t know if the judges downstairs can bear it, otherwise it is just like what Ting Xuan said. Now. "

I was talking, suddenly heard a burst of cheers outside, and a few people came out of the kitchen, first smelling a strong fresh fragrance, and then I heard that those people were all chanting "good fragrance" and "what is this dish" Like that, several people looked at each other and couldn't help smiling, knowing that the lid of the altar of the Buddha jumping wall on the second floor was opened, and the strong aroma of the Buddha jumping wall escaped, which caused such a sensation.Ten miles of Xiang Piao is unrealistic, but it is no problem to fly five miles downwind.

Going back to the kitchen, Chu Xiu took advantage of Xiaohou and Long Pingzhang's aggressive attack on the boiled fish, and ate his favorite pork belly and lamb in the Buddha jumping wall. Nuan Nuan was a little shocked, and whispered, "Sister, it's easy to get fat like this meat-eating method."

Chu Xiu spit out his little tongue and embarrassedly laughed: "It's so delicious, let me eat it again. When I return to Beijing, I don't know when I can eat my sister's craft again."
