Chapter 353: Backward cooking methods
The disciple went to cook. Guiguzi stood up slowly and led Ying Feiyu, Han Xin and others to the main hall.
It's almost a semi-isolated state here. Except for buying some daily necessities, there is almost no contact with the outside world.
Therefore, the tables, chairs, benches, and porcelain bowls commonly used in Daqin are almost not available here!
The seats are still couches, and the materials used are still bronze and earthenware pottery!
This made Ying Feiyu and others very uncomfortable.
"Why hasn't the food come yet? I'm starving to death!"
Little Shota rubbed her already shriveled belly and urged her impatiently.
I had a few sips of fish soup for breakfast, and arrived at the fork in the road at noon. All my energy was focused on choosing a route, and I had no energy to cook!
After walking for a while before arriving here, the soup in my stomach had already turned into fertilizer, which helped the flowers and plants in the mountains!
"Please be patient, young master, it should be almost done!"
The old man still had that kind smile.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the disciples came in carrying various dishes and placed them on a small low table.
Seeing that there were so many of them, Master asked them to treat them as distinguished guests, so Lou Zhi led his junior brothers to specially prepare eight dishes and one soup, and the small table was immediately packed!
Ying Feiyu rubbed his little hands and ran over impatiently, preparing to eat a lot.
Han Xin and others' stomachs were already empty, and they were just waiting for this meal!
But when everyone saw the few dishes on the table that were clear and watery, their hearts suddenly went cold!
"Everyone, please eat quickly. We have enough food, hahaha!"
However, Guiguzi did not notice the expressions of these people and entertained them very warmly.
Wang Li and others looked at each other with smug expressions on their faces.
This dish is obviously cooked in water, the same cooking method they used before.
At most, there is a dish of steamed fish, which is a bit meaty.
Ying Feiyu also flattened his mouth and had no appetite.
For the sake of my stomach, I reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of steamed fish and stuffed it into my mouth.
"puff……"
But within two seconds, he immediately vomited it out.
There is no other way, it is really inedible, it is no different from swallowing a live fish, it is extremely fishy!
"This... this...? Master?"
The reactions of several people really made all the disciples angry.
They had carefully prepared the meal, but these guys couldn't even move their chopsticks and looked very disgusted.
And that kid went even further. The fish they finally caught was spat out as soon as he put it in his mouth, as if he had eaten shit!
Even so, Gui Guzi still showed no sign of anger and asked with concern, "But these dishes are not to your taste?"
"Not only does it not taste good, in Daqin, such food can only be fed to pigs!"
Xiao Zhengtai said unceremoniously.
"What? What did you say? We usually don't want to eat these meals, but today we cook them for you, and you still belittle them like this?"
Lou Zhi's chest was rising and falling, obviously he was very angry.
If it weren't for the fact that the master didn't speak, with these few words, he would have driven these people out!
"Everything I said is true. First of all, there is something wrong with your cooking method. You are still using the oldest method of steaming. Don't you have an iron pot here? The same ingredients stir-fried in an iron pot will have a different flavor.
…!”
Xiao Zhengtai picked up a boiled bamboo shoot and continued: "For example, these bamboo shoots can be fried with meat, can be eaten cold, or can be spicy. Any one of them is a hundred times more delicious than boiled!"
"Iron...iron pot? What is that?"
Lou Zhi was confused.
No one told him to use an iron pot for cooking!
Isn’t it just a matter of cooking in pottery?
He has been in the valley for many years. Even when he goes out to buy daily necessities, many junior disciples take turns to go out. He may not be able to take a turn for several years, and he is very unfamiliar with the outside world!
"iron……"
Xiao Zhengtai was about to explain to him, but then he thought, forget it, even if he talks a lot, I'm afraid he doesn't understand. It's better to just take out the iron pot and let this guy take a closer look.
"Han Xin and Wang Li, pull our carriages in and show them what an iron pot is! Peng Yue and Fan Kuai, go to the kitchen and see what ingredients are available! Zhang Liang and Yingbu, after you go
Catch some more fish and shrimps in the river in the garden. I will show them my skills later and let them see the world!"
Ying Feiyu rolled up his arms and rolled up his sleeves.
"yes!"
Everyone responded with joyful faces and hurried to do it.
"Hmph! Even if the cooking tools are different, what difference can there be in the dishes produced?"
"That's right, since you don't like us Guigu, why bother to break in?"
"If they don't eat it, let's eat it. Such good things can't be wasted!"
"Yes, let's eat...!"
Lou Zhi and his junior brothers sat down on the couch angrily. After complaining for a while, they picked up their rice bowls and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Gui Guzi stroked his gray beard without saying anything. He came to Ying Feiyu and asked, "I wonder if the formation in the valley was broken by the young master?"
"Those will-o'-the-wisps, old man, did you let people pretend to be you?"
Ying Feiyu asked instead without answering.
"puff……"
"Ahem..."
This question doesn't matter, it really frightened several disciples, and the rice they just put in their mouths spurted out.
What did this kid just call Master?
Old man?
Did he hear it correctly?
Even if this kid is a young master, he can't be so disrespectful to his master!
Even when the king of Great Qin came, he always treated his master respectfully, but this boy was rude many times from the moment he entered.
Now that the old man has been summoned, Master is still not angry?
"Haha! That's right, it is indeed me who sent all the disciples to pretend to be in order to persuade the young master and others to retreat!"
The old man didn't show any anger at all, he smiled and nodded in recognition.
"That formation was indeed broken by me!"
After the old man admitted, the young lady nodded naturally.
"Hiss..."
The disciples had just recovered from the last wave of shock, and then took another breath of cold air, and all their eyes fell on Ying Feiyu.
The formation that no one had broken for decades was broken by a child?
The old man seemed a little excited and quickly asked, "I wonder how the young master broke the formation?"
"Are they just those strange stones at the fork in the road? I will understand after taking a look at them!"
Xiao Zhengtai was worried about his feet, wanting to see if Wang Li and the others were back, so he answered the old man casually.
Damn it, Versailles, naked Versailles!
The corners of the disciples' mouths twitched.
No one has been able to break the formation for decades, so this kid broke the formation just by looking at it twice?
"Old man, I should say it or not, your formation is really powerful. If you make a wrong move, there will be no room to look back...!"
After seeing Wang Li and others, Xiao Zhengtai walked into the yard and said: "It's a pity that you still have so much trouble trying to trap me!"
Immediately, Xiao Shota expressed his thoughts about breaking the formation at that time, and took out the small compass.
What he said really shocked the junior disciples in the room, and they unconsciously followed behind the master.
Guiguzi carefully picked up the compass, and his disciples all joined in.
He stared at the little pointer with burning eyes as it moved back and forth, and finally it was accurately set at due south!
"It's amazing! It's amazing!"
Chapter completed!
