Chapter 179 Bamboo Rice (2)

As soon as the noon bell rang, people started coming over to have lunch.

Looking at Ah Bing and glutinous rice balls who were preparing the dishes with a straight face and a serious expression behind the counter, Liu Yuan, who was waiting for lunch at the back of the crowd, said to Bai Zhu who came to eat with him: "Look at these two children.

He looks like a public chef!"

"Not only does it look good, this chicken is really good!" The waiter who was the first to receive lunch and had already sat down to eat took a chopstick of chicken and put it into his mouth and said, "It's really good. It looks like it's really good."

It’s just around the corner for our Master A Bing and Master Tang Yuan to become public chefs!”

After saying this, the servant who was eating looked around at the elderly servants who were helping to clean up. Then he looked at the two little faces with serious faces and couldn't help but sigh: "I followed the master, but still...

There are some benefits!”

You don't have to worry about starving to death when you work in the public kitchen of Dali Temple, but the monthly salary of a handyman is different from that of a chef. It is of course much better to be a master who relies on his craftsmanship than to be a handyman.

Liu Yuan nodded, glanced at Ji Caimai, who was sitting behind the counter not far away, settling accounts and selling braised duck goods, and a fan of ice cream. He looked around at the public kitchen again, and couldn't help but let out an "eh", and said to Bai Zhu behind him: "

Today, Master Wen is off to take a bath, so it’s okay if he doesn’t come to pour it! The Yu Jiji wine that he has been coming for every day has not come today!” At this point, Liu Yuanren looked at the two serious faces of A Bing and Tang Yuan behind the counter.

He couldn't help complaining about the two of them, "Does Yu Jijiu look down on our Master A Bing and Master Tangyuan?"

As soon as Groggy said this, Bai Zhu shook his head and said to him: "You are wrong to blame Yu Jijiu. It's not that he doesn't look down on A Bing and Tang Yuan, but there is a banquet today!"

Speaking of this "banquet", there are still many people who know about it. A few servants who had received their lunch early and started eating interjected: "I've heard about this too! Today Yu Jijiu called Master Wen to help.

A banquet has been prepared, saying that I have invited many old friends to come and have a literary banquet!"

It turned out that it was for this reason that Liu Yuan suddenly realized and asked casually: "Where did you choose?"

The officer said: "I heard it is in Lishan Mountain!"

Lishan Mountain! Lin Fei, who had just stepped into the public kitchen, frowned slightly when he heard this, and listened to Liu Yuan sighing there, "The scenery in Lishan Mountain is good at this time, but the most beautiful one is the autumn scenery."

He didn't interrupt, he just lowered his eyes and lined up with everyone to receive their meals.

The case of the Goguryeo envoy has just been concluded. There is rarely anything going on in Dali Temple these days. Even Lin Fei has a few scripts borrowed from Liu Yuan on his desk.

When he thought about this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: I didn't expect that Shangfeng would read these words in the book he read!

Not only can I read story books, I even take leave to go to the mountains!

After lunch, Liu Yuan returned to the lobby and prepared to continue sorting out files and fish. He took back the book of words he had read from Lin Fei. Also in hand was a note for leave written by Shang Feng himself.

Since Zhao Mengzhuo, the minister of Dali Temple, was not in the Yamen, Lin Fei asked Liu Yuan to pass the note to Zhao Mengzhuo. The reason for the leave written on it was that he was going to the mountains for a few days.

Liu Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw this reason: This was the first time he saw such a leave note that didn't even bother to formulate a reason and spoke the truth!

Lin Fei ignored Liu Yuan's astonishment, handed over the note and turned around and left Dali Temple. After returning to the Marquis Jingyun's Mansion, he changed into a more powerful outfit that would allow him to move more easily, and then left the city.

…

Leaving aside everything that happened in Dali Temple, Wen Mingtang's celebrities also arrived at Lishan Mountain to attend the banquet.

The timing was just right! The fruit snacks and cold dishes for the banquet were just put on the table, and then people came!

Wen Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to start preparing hot dishes when he heard the waiter say: "Master Wen, there was a gentleman named Wang He at the banquet who said that he was in a hurry and was already very hungry. He asked if we could put some food first."

Will the meals be delivered?"

Being so arbitrary and not following routines, even the handyman couldn't help but twitch his lips and said with emotion: "You have caused trouble to Master Wen!"

Wen Mingtang said: "...It doesn't matter!"

The bamboo tube rice was cooked early and was already ready at this time. Since Wang He wanted to eat first, he should send the bamboo tube rice over first.

At the banquet, before they had time to move their chopsticks to the cold dishes they had never seen before, several celebrities who heard Wang He shouting about wanting to eat felt a little helpless and couldn't help but shake their heads: "Wang He, you are eating so early.

If you don’t have rice, how can you taste the next dishes?”

"I, Wang He, have already tasted all the delicacies in the world. Most of the recipes are just that, nothing special." Wang He did not agree with this. He said: "You taste yours, I have to eat first!"

Seeing that they could not persuade him, the celebrities had no choice but to ignore him, and only listened to Yu Jijiu introduce the names of the cold dishes in front of them, while moving their chopsticks.

"This dish is called saliva chicken. The chicken is extremely tender and tastes slightly spicy and fragrant; this dish is called coir raincoat cucumber... This dish is called..."

He tasted several dishes in a row, and all of them were praised by his old friends. Yu Jijiu was very satisfied, and he knew that the dishes cooked by the chef that impressed him would also attract the eyes of his always picky old friends, except...

Looking at Wang He in front of him who didn't even move his chopsticks, Yu Jijiu sighed. Just as he was about to speak, he saw several boys coming over with the food Wang He ordered.

But it was different from the bowl of crystal-white rice they imagined. What the waiter brought over was actually two bamboo tubes placed side by side. A "window" was opened in the upper part of the bamboo tube. However, because of the "bamboo window" at this time,

It is still covered and has not been opened, so the situation inside the bamboo tube cannot be seen.

Huh? This is... rice?

Everyone who had just tasted a few cold dishes with chopsticks looked at the bamboo tube in the boy's hand.

Under the gaze of everyone, the waiter walked up to Wang He with a bamboo tube rice and said: "Sir, the rice is here. This rice is called bamboo tube rice. It is made in two flavors. Sir, you can open it and taste it!"

"After that, he placed the bamboo tube rice in front of Wang He and retreated with the tray.

Looking at the two bamboo tubes that looked like small boats, a celebrity immediately urged him: "Wang He, quickly open it up and let us take a look at the food called bamboo tube rice in this bamboo boat!"

Many literati like bamboo, and Wang He himself is one of the best. He often uses bamboo as a metaphor for himself. Therefore, no matter how unruly he is, the moment he sees these two "bamboo boats", he has already become very interested. Under the urging of everyone,

, he opened one of the "bamboo windows".

The moment it was opened, a strong fragrance hit his nostrils. Wang He, who was the closest, couldn't help but take a deep breath and lowered his head to look at the situation in the bamboo boat.

Rice grains with a thin layer of oil, dark brown diced bacon, bright green edamame, golden corn, and orange carrots fill the entire "bamboo boat". The bright colors are pleasing to the eye at a glance.

, not to mention the aroma mixed with bacon, glutinous rice and green bamboo.

The celebrity in front of Wang He's case stood up and walked to Wang He's case to take a look. Smelling the strong fragrance, the celebrity swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but turn around and ask where he was sitting with a look of lust on his face.

Yu Jijiu: "Where did brother Shinan find the cook? He has such skill?"
