Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 494
Zhou Yuan was not the only one who discovered that De Hongchen had entered the cold food, other ministers also discovered this emperor teacher who had rarely been in the early court for several months. If it wasn't for hiding their identities, they might have stood up one by one at this moment. Saluted, but even so, they showed obvious abnormalities.

De Hongchen's eyes flickered slightly, and while his lips were buzzing, his voice appeared in the ears of all the ministers in the dining area.

"The old man is here for a meal, you can just ignore it, and do whatever you want."

Following De Hongchen's words, the ministers calmed down one by one, and continued to act as the rice cooker in their true colors.

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

The emperor has never been to the court, so how does he know the plan discussed by the court?
Immediately he smiled dumbly again.

Almost forgot Hall Master Hongchen, presumably it was Hall Master Hongchen who told the emperor.

The doubts dissipated in his heart, and he continued to taste his own Longjing shrimp while patiently waiting for the follow-up dishes to be served.

"Your fish-flavored shredded pork and white rice are here."

Without making Zhou Yuan wait for too long, Qi Han quickly brought up Zhou Yuan's follow-up dishes, and immediately noticed the hale and hearty old man who just walked in in the dining area.

Thinking that he didn't come with other diners at noon, but was also a middle-aged man introduced by Xu Jiyun, Qi Han realized that his previous guess was wrong.

While talking, De Hongchen looked at other dishes on the menu.

After eating a piece of tofu, feeling the salty and spicy taste left in his mouth, De Hongchen's eyes couldn't help looking at the grains of white rice that were as bright as pearls and jade.

this smell...

Pulling the plate of mapo tofu towards him, a strange spicy smell wrapped in a mellow bean aroma slowly penetrated into De Hongchen's nostrils.

Just looking at this tofu, De Hongchen can almost imagine how smooth and delicious it will be in his mouth.

Give it a try.

His gaze slowly moved away from Qi Han, and an inexplicable light flickered in De Hongchen's eyes, and then he turned his gaze back to the menu, and slowly flipped through it, muttering softly.

"Okay." What should be explained has been explained. Seeing the old man in front of him start to look at the menu, Qi Han turned and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking the dishes for the next diner.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his chopsticks and gently picked up a piece of tofu.

De Hongchen sniffed, his eyes lit up instantly.

His eyes don't have the muddy feeling of ordinary old people, but are as clear as a baby's, and the blue is as deep as the sea. His figure is not particularly strong, and his height is about the same as Qi Han's, and he looks a little shorter because of his slightly rickety old age. , with a kind of easy-going smile on his rosy and healthy face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Hmm... I'm starting to get busy today, do you want to hire a waiter?
Forget it, see it in a few days.

The tofu in the dinner plate is piled up one by one. The extremely soft and tender texture makes the tofu slightly deformed due to extrusion. The surface of the tofu is a dark brown red sauce with fermented soybeans and crushed peppers. Each piece of tofu was evenly wrapped, and it reflected a crystal luster under the light. De Hongchen couldn't help swallowing when he saw the attractive appearance.

"Tell me." Qi Han took out his pen and prepared to record it.

Although the tofu looks extremely soft and tender, it is not as hard to hold as expected, or it shatters when you hold it. Although it is wobbly and slightly deformed under the chopsticks, the tofu itself remains intact. .

De Hongchen stroked the beard on his chin, and smiled, his face becoming more and more expectant.

When the tofu entered the mouth, the mapo tofu soup wrapped on the surface instantly touched the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, and a crispy, spicy taste that De Hongchen had never experienced exploded between his lips and teeth unexpectedly.

After a while, when Qi Han passed by De Hongchen again, the old man who was reading the menu with great interest suddenly raised his head, "Young man, I know what to eat now."

The pot-packed meat he ate at noon was sweet and sour, while the longxu noodles were salty and fresh. De Hongchen, who had been conquered by these two flavors of food, now smelled the spicy taste that he had never had before. Suddenly feel refreshed.

Only a few more times in the future.

He didn't make him wait too long, and the dishes that belonged to De Hongchen were served quickly, the mapo tofu and white rice were served first, as for the squirrel mandarin fish, it still needs to wait for a while.

And as the soft and tender tofu that can be broken with a sip of force melts in the mouth, it stimulates the rich bean flavor and the fusion of mapo tofu soup, intertwining two completely different but mutually prominent flavors, This taste was so wonderful that De Hongchen was overwhelmed.

"There are so many types of dishes...Huh? Is this a drawn picture? It's so tempting. Just looking at this picture, the old man actually has an appetite...Let the old man have a look... This squirrel mandarin fish looks very good. , get a copy, and this..."

Alas, it's a pity that he doesn't have a big appetite and can't eat so much, otherwise he would like to taste all these dishes at once.

When he got closer, Qi Han noticed that this old man was a little different from ordinary old men.

After receiving the lunch box, Qi Han began to introduce, "This is the menu of our restaurant, just let me know if there is any food you want, this restaurant does not allow waste, please pay attention to this."

Cooking person, cooking soul, cooking is the master!
...

As he spoke, he handed the lunch box in his hand to Qi Han.

"Waste?" De Hongchen shook his head, "I don't want to waste such delicious food, young man, you can go to work, I will take a look at the menu first."

Is it a new face, not here yesterday?
That should have nothing to do with Xu Jiyun. Could it be that the nearby residents happened to pass by to eat?

Thinking in his mind, Qi Han moved the knife like flying in his hand, and quickly cut the ingredients into thin slices of uniform thickness.

If every dish of this cold food is as delicious as the dragon beard noodles and pot-packed meat at noon, I might as well come here for every meal in the future.

"Yes." Qi Han nodded, thinking of the middle-aged man who asked him to pack a lunch box at noon.

But it's not a big problem.

"One serving of squirrel mandarin fish, one serving of mapo tofu, and another serving of white rice."

Seeing the plain and simple coarse cloth robe on De Hongchen's body, which was completely different from other diners, Qi Han became more determined, and immediately walked towards him with a friendly smile on his face.

"Old man, what do you want to eat?"

De Hongchen took a good look at Qi Han first, and then found a seat to sit down, "Boy, is this lunch box yours?"

The appearance of this white rice is far more attractive than any rice that De Hongchen has ever seen. Now, with the delicious taste of mapo tofu remaining in his mouth, De Hongchen looked at the white rice as if he was looking at a supreme delicacy generally.

Pick up a small ball of rice and put it in your mouth, feel the grains of rice slowly breaking apart with chewing, and the taste of sweet rice and mapo tofu soup remaining in your mouth slowly blending together, De Hongchen couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

The combination of mapo tofu and rice is really wonderful.

His cooking speed became faster.
