Chapter 224 Don't be angry, boss, come have a drink
Cai Yue made the traditional four dishes and one soup today:
Pineapple Guru Pork, fried hibiscus eggs, steamed grouper, chimney cabbage and mulberry apricot pork lung soup.
"Don't do too many tricks, eat some home-cooked dishes." Cai Yue took off his waist and said, "But you can eat more pearl gentian grouper. It was delivered by a friend from overseas. It was very authentic and rare."
"We are so lucky to be able to eat the dishes you cooked by Mr. Cai!" Luo Chen said sincerely.
Xu Zimeng was so moved that she was almost crying.
The craftsmanship of "Xiangjiang God of Food" is by no means a good idea. Behind every home-cooked dish is the cooking experience of time, craftsmanship, food, and life experience. I enjoy it when eating, and have a long aftertaste after eating.
During the meal, Cai Yue and Xu Zimeng discussed a lot of topics about food.
Cai Yue summarized for Xu Zimeng, saying that the reason why she could win today was mainly because she won the soup, and it is very important to make the soup carefully.
Cai Yue also talked about the profound realm of cooking - the big soup discord.
It is said that writers with excellent writing skills are always inseparable from the skills of the masters, that is, without adding algae or adding fuel to the fire.
Describe things in their original form and reproduce life and scenes "originally" and other imaginations, lyrics, arguments... are left to readers to make up for themselves. Cooking is also an art, and all arts always have their common features. Cooking also has its "white description" method - that is, "only cook without mixing, highlighting the original flavor", that is, in order to eat the original flavor of food, consciously do not put seasoning in some soups. The chefs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties have long summarized this cooking art into four words, called "big soup not harmonious". Dashu: gravy soup; non-mix: not mixing the five flavors, see the note of "Book of Li".
Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, said in his book "Huainanzi" written by him: "It's tasteless and the five flavors are in shape." It can be translated as "no taste but contains all the flavors". Indeed, some food ingredients have a very delicious taste, and if seasonings are added, they will cover up their own umami flavor. Just like a graceful young woman, dressed in jewels and bright clothes, it is better to talk about pretending to be charming.
Cai Yue said: "Taking the original taste of the ingredients is actually the original intention of every chef and his lifelong pursuit. However, the flowers and temptations along the way of cooking have been blooming and tempting, and many people have forgotten their original intention..."
He Zhixiong was confused when he heard this.
Xu Zimeng has benefited a lot.
Luo Chen also felt that he had realized something. The cooking method mentioned by Mr. Cai is the same as the path of life and the path of cultivation, so he said, "Mr. Cai, what you mean is 'the way of the great way is simple, return to the essence', right?"
Cai Yue nodded to him and said with a smile: "My friend Luo Chen, you are the one with the most say in this regard."
Luo Chen understood that he was referring to "cultivation".
After dinner, Cai Yue arranged for Xu Zimeng and He Zhixiong to drink and enjoy the scenery on the terrace. He took out his treasured whiskey and made some snacks. He took Luo Chen into the study to discuss things.
He Zhixiong was surprised: "What are Mr. Cai talking about with Luo Chen?"
Xu Zimeng poured the whiskey into the cup, licked her lips with her little tongue and said, "Don't worry about him, Brother Big Bear, come and have a drink!"
How can a beautiful woman not drink the toast? He Zhixiong laughed, picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay!"
In the study room.
Cai Yue took out the prescription that Luo Chen wrote to him last time and said, "My friend Luo Chen, I have been practicing the method you taught me, and I have been practicing the quality of the room, and the quality of the room is getting higher and higher, and the body is good and the spirit is good. No problem has ever occurred. I really want to thank you!"
Luo Chen waved his hand and said, "Old Cai, you are polite, as long as it works."
Cai Yue pondered for a while and said, "I am still very interested in cultivation. Although it is only a little late now, as long as you can strengthen your body, extend your life span, and enjoy more beautiful things in the world. I wonder if there is any further method for Luo Chen to help you give me some advice?"
Luo Chen knew that it would be rare for a person like Mr. Cai to ask for it on his own initiative, and he felt that he was destined to be with him, so he did not intend to keep it and said, "Mr. Cai, please allow me to touch your pulse."
Cai Yue nodded, asked Luo Chen to sit down, and spread his hand on the table.
Luo Chen touched his pulse for a while and said to Cai Yue: "After the adjustment of the previous Fang Zhongzhi practice method, the breath in your body began to condense and no longer distract, forming some true energy. Since you intend to continue practicing, I will teach you some methods suitable for your cultivation to improve and improve your cultivation. When I return to Yunzhou, I will write a book of mantras and refine some magic tools and send them to you. If you have any questions, you can discuss them on the phone, which is more convenient."
Cai Yue hurriedly thanked.
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Old Cai doesn't need to thank me, it's all because you are destined to be a cultivator."
Cai Yue nodded: "Okay, I won't say much thank you, I will remember it in my heart."
When the two left the study and came to the terrace, a bottle of 700 ml of whiskey was about to bottom out, and He Zhixiong was already drinking a little high.
He laughed and said, "Brother Luo, you... are not kind! It turns out that Zimeng has such a good alcohol tolerance. Why... you didn't say it earlier? He used to protect her every time he drank..."
Xu Zimeng's pretty face was red, Shanshan was cute, but her eyes were brighter than the stars. She smiled and said, "Boss, Mr. Cai, why are you here now? We almost drank all the wine!"
Cai Yue said: "How can I drink all the wine? I still have it here. Since my friend Zimeng can drink it, I will definitely toast you a glass!"
After saying that, he asked the servant to bring two more bottles of whiskey.
Everyone was drinking while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Cai Yue’s Taiping Mountain villa is in a very good location, overlooking the Hong Kong River on the terrace. Now that night is falling, the lights are reflected, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are like two pearls embedded in Victoria Harbour, shining with each other and dazzling; in the Central area, there are tall buildings, neon lights, spectacular and shocking.
Finally, Cai Yue invited Luo Chen and others to stay overnight, but Luo Chen felt it was not easy to disturb him and politely declined, so Cai Yue arranged a car to take Luo Xuhe and the other two back to the hotel.
Along the way, He Zhixiong was clamoring to go to Lan Kwai Fong to pick up girls, but was stopped by Luo Chen. He was already drunk and he definitely couldn't let him go.
When he arrived at the hotel, he sent Xu Zimeng and He Zhixiong into their respective rooms and settled them before Luo Chen returned to his room.
I am going to take a shower and go to bed. It’s time to go home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Just as I was putting water and taking off my clothes, I heard the doorbell ringing.
Luo Chen had no choice but to wear his clothes and go to the door to answer.
Xu Zimeng brought the whiskey that Cai Yue gave her and said, "Boss, please drink with me! Isn't it fun to drink alone?"
"You still drink?" Luo Chen was stunned. You just drank two bottles in the hometown of Cai, right?
"Drink, the wine is so delicious, why not?" Xu Zimeng said with a blink of an eye.
I felt that she became active again after drinking, not as introverted as usual.
To be honest, Luo Chen felt that the wine was not bad, but it was not much delicious. He said, "Zi Meng, go and rest quickly. We may be rushing home tomorrow."
Xu Zimeng waved her hand and almost hit Luo Chen. She said, "I'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. You can drink with me first!"
She looks cute and pretends to be domineering, which makes people feel even more cute.
Luo Chen said: "Are you the boss or I the boss? Don't you listen to the boss's words?"
Xu Zimeng was really disobedient this time and stomped her feet and said, "Brother Big Bear said, 'I won the championship today, and I am the biggest today'. I will ask you to have a drink with me, why don't you want to?"
Luo Chen frowned and said, "Drinking alcohol is a mess, and drinking is a mess. Don't you know that it's okay? You can't drink it anymore!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Zimeng sat on the ground and cried: "If you don't accompany me, I will stay here and not leave!"
Then rub your feet: "The boss bullies me... the boss bullies me..."
The movement attracted the waiter to stop and the surrounding guests opened the door to watch.
Luo Chen pulled her and whispered: "Get up quickly, don't cheat!"
Xu Zimeng just cheats, but she just can't afford it.
Luo Chen was helpless. He didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles, so he bent down and carried Xu Zimeng into the room and kicked him into the door.
He walked to the living room and threw her on the sofa and said, "Oh, Xu Zimeng, you actually learned to cheat and harm the boss!"
Xu Zimeng had just sat on the ground to being carried into the room and thrown onto the sofa, holding the bottle of wine in her hand. At this time, she smiled and opened the bottle cap and said, "Don't be angry, boss, come and drink!"
Faced with such a girl, Luo Chen was completely out of temper. He could only bring two goblets, then opened peanuts, melon seeds and other snacks, and placed them on the coffee table.
I thought, drink it, indulge it once in a while, drink it to death!
So the two of them chatted everywhere, accompanied by peanuts and melon seeds, and drank whiskey one cup after another.
After a while, two bottles of whiskey were drunk.
Xu Zimeng's little face was as red as a begonia, but her eyes were as bright as gems.
Although Luo Chen was still stable, he knew that he would get drunk if he drank it again, so he "stepped on the brake" in time and said, "Zi Meng, what, I'm almost done, I can't drink anymore, I'll pour a cup of tea."
Xu Zimeng suddenly pointed at him and said, "Don't move!"
Luo Chen stood up halfway and did not move.
Xu Zimeng said: "You are the boss, I am an employee, I should pour you tea..."
Seeing her stand up and walking out one meter, she began to shake her body and stagger, Luo Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Forget it, you're almost done, I'll pour it, and pour you a cup."
I thought to myself, the little girl drank a lot today, and the whiskey she treasured by Mr. Cai is really quite good.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zimeng shook her head and said, "How can that work? You are the boss, so where can the boss pour tea for employees?"
Luo Chen had no choice but to say: "Zi Meng, although we are in the relationship between the boss and the employee at work, in life, I always treat you as my sister. Shouldn't my brother take care of my sister?"
Xu Zimeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Boss, do you really think I am your sister?"
