The first coquettish anchor of the empire [food]

After Chen Kang was warned, he sat down awkwardly, but he was not convinced, and looked at Yu Xi with a pair of narrowed eyes with a cold light.

Luo Feng asked him with great interest: "Shao Mai? Siu Maizi? Why is it called this name? It doesn't sound like seafood."

Yu Xi put the food box on the table, opened it and replied: "Well - in ancient times, there was a saying 'Use flour as the skin, and meat as the filling as the top to make the stamen', there is no need to say anything, anyway, this way It has been passed down from generation to generation, so it has been called down. President, you just think of it as a small bun with meat stuffing in a thin dough."

Originally, siu mai was a dish that took into account the advantages of both steamed buns and pot stickers, so Yu Xi's explanation made sense.

"Tch!" There was another snort of disdain, and it was from Chen Kang, who whispered to himself, "It's been passed down from generation to generation, I haven't heard of it, and I don't know who passed it on to you... ...you can be deceiving at such a young age."

Although the sound was low, but the place was empty, and everyone was sitting together, so they could all hear clearly.

The young man who was ridiculed was not annoyed, and he said to himself imitatively, "Yeah, I just read two volumes of books with Director Yin, so why pretend to be knowledgeable? I still don't understand anything." I’m really envious of her innocence. This kind of person must have an easy life, because he doesn’t need to think.”

Everyone present: "..."

Luo Feng: "Hahahahaha!"

"Well, you're so innocent, you're so sharp! I want Xiao Di to be more careful, don't quarrel with you, I'm afraid you'll only get scolded!" Luo Feng praised without hesitation.

He is the boss here, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face at all, he laughs when he wants to, praises when he wants to, and doesn't give Chen Kang who is already smoking with anger.Luo Feng really admired this kid. Hearing him argue with others was like listening to a double-mouthed cross talk, which was very interesting.

After Yu Xi finished speaking, he also wanted to laugh a little. He felt that he seemed to have mastered how to perform the white lotus move naturally.But with such Bailian's lines and his overly coquettish face, the yin and yang is extraordinarily fresh and refined, and it can kill people's anger.

After choking a few words, the tightly sealed fresh food box was lifted.The crimson food box has a rounded shape, a plum blossom is printed on the lid, and a layer of oil paper of the right size is spread inside.Because Yu Xi was careful all the way, the small and cylindrical siu mai did not stick to each other, and the appearance was still very beautiful.

The method of siu mai made by Yuxi is slightly different from that of ordinary morning tea. The top of the siu mai made by Yuxi is shaped like a petal, which slightly wraps the meat filling inside.The skin of the siu mai is golden yellow. Looking in from the mouth, you can see the "flower stamen" meat filling, which is white, tender and powdery, crystal clear and pleasant.

Sun Yiqin was the first to exclaim a little, wow, "It's so beautiful!"

This time before Yu Xi took the initiative to share, Sun Yiqin asked first, "Yu Xi, can I have a taste of this? It's so beautiful..." Most girls like these exquisite and cute things, and Sun Yiqin was attracted by it at first sight. attracted.

"Of course." Yu Xi nodded, there are quite a lot of them, and he can keep two for himself if he shares one with each other.

It was inconvenient to use chopsticks, so Luo Feng boldly squeezed one, and then passed the food boxes to the seniors one by one.

The siu mai skin was rolled so thin by Yu Xi that it was even slightly transparent. If the meat stuffing inside had sunk a little more, the skin would not be able to hold it.The outer skin is so sticky that it doesn't stick to your hands, but when you bite it open, there is actually soup inside, which almost drips down, Luo Feng quickly took a sip.

An extremely fresh salty soup enters the mouth, and the excitement of the taste buds rushes straight to the forehead!

He first stared at Yu Xi who was smiling at him with his eyes wide open, and before he had time to say anything, he quickly took another bite.The fresh-keeping food box keeps fresh and keeps warm, and it is very fresh to eat, just like it has just been out of the oven.It doesn't burn the tongue, but it is also warm and hot, which is a very comfortable temperature.

The mashed pork is beaten very finely, and it feels like tough tofu.The teeth can be torn apart with a light bite, and then the prawns the size of corn kernels are chewed. The prawns are very firm and smooth, and the fresh soup definitely has a large part of its credit.The pork paste is not pure pork paste, but also mixed with a part of shrimp paste to make the taste more Q and not easy to harden and lump.

The diced shiitake mushrooms are smaller than the prawns, which enriches the taste without overwhelming the guests, making the umami taste of the prawns more prominent.The soup is covered by a little bit of siu mai skin, which is clear and translucent.

Everyone took one, but Chen Kang didn't take one, and turned his head away from them with his neck stuck.Now hearing their small chewing and swallowing sounds, as well as the enticing fragrance that filled the air, Chen Kang secretly swallowed his saliva in a futile way.

Everyone is so delicious that they can't say anything, but there is only one in their hand, and they are not willing to gobble it up. They all bite in small bites, and can't help but glance at the rest of the food box. Siu Mai.

"This is too delicious..." Kong Zhen sighed.

Luo Feng was also really shocked, but he was not yet at the point of grabbing the children's breakfast, so he quickly put the lid on the food box that was constantly emitting fragrance for Yu Xi.

"All right, all right, pack it up quickly, you won't have anything left in a while, let me tell you."

Yu Xi answered yes with a smile, the corner of her mouth was so sweet that it was sweet.He knew that this wave of physical experience was definitely enough to convince this group of people.Put it out clearly for them to taste and see, shrimp is seafood, it is delicious, it is not fishy, ​​it must be done!

Sure enough, Luo Feng waved his hand readily, saying yes, "Then add a seafood dish!"

Chen Kang couldn't believe it, it passed so easily?He hastily said: "President! You, do you want to think about it again? This, how many times this is the rule, how can it be broken as soon as it is broken? Spread it and make people laugh!"

President Luo was like an old naughty boy, holding his chin in his hands and pretending to be embarrassed, "It's really delicious because we need to be more innovative. If we don't try it, how will we know whether the Federation people like it or not?"

Chen Kang had already stood up angrily, but no one listened to him, which made him feel ashamed.Isn't he coming here to participate in the seminar as an observer consultant, but his advice as a consultant is ignored, isn't this humiliating him!

The others actually responded, especially Jiang Wen, who was blowing so much, "It's delicious! It's so delicious! Yuxi, you can really surprise people all the time, so I decided to support him too. It's so delicious It is impossible for the Federation not to eat anything!"

"Even if they really don't like food, it doesn't matter, don't you think it's very popular to put such a beautiful thing on it?" It was Sun Yiqin who said this.

Mo Zhilan wiped his hands gracefully with the napkin handed over by the robot, "Then, let me vote for Xixi too."

The other four people who admired and looked at Yuxi didn't need to ask, they knew where to stand if they wanted to.So Yu Xi passed all the votes except for Chen Kang's negative vote, and seafood was included in the list of state banquet dishes.

Chen Kang was the only one who was unhappy. He sat down angrily and didn't want to say a word anymore.Unexpectedly, before the wave of anger calmed down, Yu Xi came again to provoke his fragile nerves at the moment.

"President Luo, have you ever thought about increasing the amount of meat for this year's state banquet?" Yu Xi was afraid that they would reject it immediately, so he said persuasively: "Think about it, every time in the past it was chicken and beef, even if they love these two Meat, but we didn’t make it delicious before. Maybe they want to run away when they see us serving chicken and beef. We take this opportunity to change the taste for them. Maybe there will be a pleasant surprise. They Maybe I would be more willing to put down my chopsticks."

"Yu Xi, what's your idea?" Sun Yiqin has taken a liking to this young man ever since he ate siu mai.

"I was thinking, chicken, duck, fish, beef, sheep and pig... shall I have a portion?"

"Bullshit!"

Before his butt was hot, Chen Kang jumped up again, pointing at Yu Xi's nose and cursing.

Yu Xi: "..."

He really didn't bother to say, did this man have a spring under his buttocks, he jumped around like a jumping frog.

"You think you will go crazy after passing the seafood, don't you, boy, you are still tender! Can you eat something so fishy? Don't try to make tricks to attract attention. This is not a place for you to sell stinky tofu. You You will lose face to the entire empire!"

Yu Xi's brows darkened, he was really annoyed, and the other party would jump up and object to anything he said.

The brows of the young man raised coldly, his demeanor suddenly became cold and arrogant, and even the soft curly hair on his head seemed to be frosted, "Senior Chen Kang, you can object, but if you want to be so fierce, we will have a hard time." Have a good discussion. We are here for a meeting, not a fight."

The voice of the boy who suddenly turned serious was like crushed ice, with a dangerous beauty.He obviously didn't use any ugly words, but he was quite bluffing. The young man at this moment actually had the shadow of Rong Di.

In fact, Luo Feng also had doubts about Yu Xi's proposal just now. He was still thinking about it, and he was very displeased when he suddenly heard Chen Kang's interruption.He withdrew his secretly admiring gaze on Yu Xi, put away all the smiles on his face, and looked at Chen Kang, "Sit."

"Don't make me say it a second time."

In an instant, the coercion burst forth, and a burst of oppressive breath radiated out.Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Chen Kang's legs to soften.

Chen Kang's face was pale, his lips squirmed twice, and he sat down anyway.

Only then did Luo Feng put on a smile again, and continued to turn his head as if nothing had happened, with a gentle attitude: "Then tell me, what is your plan."

Yu Xi thought for a while and said, "Since they love meat, I don't think they can accept other meats at all. Besides, things like taste are definitely not fixed, right? My audience is often like this, see During the live broadcast, I said that I would not eat it, but in the end I ate it all. Maybe... we can try it?"

Luo Feng twisted his chin, thoughtful.

When Chen Kang opened his mouth, he wanted to be silly again. When he thought of being trained just now, he broke out in cold sweat and his voice became much lower.He barely said politely: "You, what's the comparison with that kind of thing, you can't compare snacks with state banquets..."

At this moment, Mo Zhilan, who had been listening carefully, actually spoke up for Yu Xi, "President, I think...you can try what Xixi said. To put it bluntly, the state banquet is of a high level, but no one has said it before." I love to eat. Although Yuxi doesn’t open a high-end interstellar restaurant like Senior Chen Kang’s, everything is hot enough to be sold out. From this point of view, delicious food is the most important thing, isn’t it? I think Xixi has This ability can be done well.”

"Besides, I don't think Xixi will open a high-end restaurant, and the price is very affordable. She just wants to give her fans a discount. It's not that she wants to make any money..."

Mo Zhilan said this cleverly, with a double meaning.The people he conceived immediately turned black, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Yu Xi was a little surprised, she didn't expect Mo Zhilan to speak for her.In fact, he and I were only assessed together, and then participated in a variety show together, and became partners for one episode.

But when it comes to "Looking for Fanzhen", Yu Xi inexplicably recalls that thrilling ending, and the strange thrust from his back... Tsk, he still hasn't figured it out yet.

Buckle, buckle.Luo Feng tapped the table twice with his index finger, and stopped after a while, as if he had already considered it.He raised his head slowly, "Xixi, then what I'm going to tell you next will be a little more serious."

"Well, tell me." Yu Xi nodded obediently.

"For all the dishes we present, there will be a sign next to the plate, and who is the chef of this dish will be written on the sign. That is to say, whoever cooks the dish is responsible. Do you understand?" Luo Feng straightened Looking straight at Yu Xi.

"If the other party is not satisfied, he can directly order your brand. Your image will be projected in front of the main hall. He can watch your cooking process in real time and even ask you questions. This is not a joke. .”

Yu Xi knew that this was of course not a joke.

Because this federal person is very outgoing and generous, and likes to speak out.If they have any doubts, they will not endure it with consideration of etiquette like the imperial people, and they will definitely raise it on the spot.If they cared about saving face, they wouldn't have shouted "Can your country allow us to bring our own dishes" before.

"So, for your proposal, you are in charge. If there is a problem, for example, if they don't want to change a dish at the banquet, you will be responsible for it."

Luo Feng's eyes were sharp, he was watching the boy's reaction.The result was exactly as he expected, Yu Xi's amber eyes were full of confidence, and there was no sign of shrinking back.

He suddenly laughed loudly, startling everyone who was in deep thought.

Luo Feng clapped his hands twice, making everyone look at him, and announced: "Okay, then I will leave it to Yu Xi to customize the menu."

"What?!" Everyone present was shocked, including Yu Xi.

He never imagined that the president, who seemed very reluctant just now, would agree now.

President Luo, who was still very serious just now, was discouraged, and turned into a young old man with a Buddhist face, spreading his hands: "Isn't this pretty good. A real strong will not show a trace of timidity. Don't worry, Xixi Fly, Xibuki will follow you forever! Hahahaha."

Yu Xi: "..."

Yu Xi scratched her face helplessly, feeling a little shy, "President...how do you say me..."

"Is it your fan slogan? Hahahaha, because it sounds interesting. I haven't chased stars yet, so I want to try."

Chen Kang was stunned, dumbfounded, pointed at Yu Xi twice, but couldn't speak.

"Yes, president... You, you, why are you being so silly! Is this still plausible?!" He couldn't believe it.

"Why is it outrageous? I won't intervene, but I will listen in. If I feel bad about something, I will give my opinion." Luo Feng said quite naturally, "Do you have any opinions?"

Jiang Wen and Sun Yiqin looked at each other, and it was the former who said: "We...Although we are a little hesitant, we believe in the president's decision, and also believe in Yuxi, it will definitely be possible. This time it is not about exercising The strength of the rookie, it’s okay for us to make concessions.”

Not to mention those from Yu Xi's side, they are all supportive.

Chen Kang's face was livid, he made a few good words in a row, and then stood up, "Okay, my consultant here is annoying. This is how you treat old people with so long experience, okay, I'm leaving, the state banquet Anyway, it’s your talk. I’m leaving, and I’ll see what you can do! At that time, the federal people will not show face at the banquet, so don’t add me to the list of participating chefs, I can’t afford to lose this person!”

After he finished speaking, he slammed the chair away vigorously and left in a huff.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while, and it was Luo Feng who broke the quiet atmosphere first, and he looked at Yu Xi with a smile like a normal person: "Xi Xi, Uncle took away his popularity because of you. You have to behave well, don't let me Disappointed."

Hearing this, although Yu Xi was confident, he felt a little stressed, he nodded and said, "Okay."

However, Sun Yiqin could tell at a glance that the old naughty boy was teasing the children, so she asked with a smile, "President, why did you lose your popularity?"

"People who don't matter."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.Yu Xi also laughed, only to realize that Luo Feng didn't care about this at all, and he was relieved.

The next process is very smooth, first discuss the four cold appetizers.

Generally speaking, the four small cold dishes should have slightly more meat than vegetables.But in some big restaurants in Yuxi’s previous life, they didn’t pay much attention to these things. They usually gave a plate of vinegared kelp shreds, a plate of cold red oil crispy lotus root, and at most some cold jellyfish shreds and it was over.

But Yu Xi didn't want to be so perfunctory. This was the first banquet after the new policy, and he had to arrange it.

After hearing what Yu Xi said, everyone fell silent.After a moment of silence, Jiang Wen jokingly said, "Why don't we call Chen Kang back."

Seeing the child's angry look, he smiled and admitted his mistake again and again, "Okay, okay, I shouldn't have. But...Yu Xi, I think the cold cucumber and fried peanuts you mentioned are all okay. Crystal Meat...well I don't understand what it is, but—"

"Cold pig ears, hot and sour boneless chicken feet, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

For the three meats and one vegetable that Yu Xi ordered, in order to enhance the fragrance of the cucumber, Yu Xi also arranged an extra fried peanut as an extra side dish. She thinks she has considered it very well, so why isn’t it suitable?

So he asked: "Senior Jiang, can you tell me why this is inappropriate?"

After a series of promotions by Yuxi, hot pot is now the most popular way of eating out for many people.

Whenever a group of people go out to play and are struggling with what to eat, someone will suggest, "Hey, let's have hot pot. I heard that Xixi recently made a new thing called yellow throat in the store. Go and try it." Category.

So now the citizens of the empire generally don't think it's a strange thing to eat the "leftovers" they once discarded, and even began to have a mysterious pursuit.For example, if you don't eat beef basil for a meal, you can't sleep well, and other quirks.but……

"But the pig's ears are too weird... who would eat that kind of place, it must be dirty. It's not good to entertain guests. And chicken feet too... I didn't say that chicken feet are bad Meaning, I know that duck feet sell very well in your Glory. But chicken feet are not a good idea to eat at a banquet." Jiang Wen said.

"Okay, I understand the meaning of the senior. Then let's keep the menu, please write a name like this first, and I will make it for you to try. It is up to everyone to decide whether we want pig ears or not. Because anyway, we have finished discussing the menu. After that, the rest of the days are all about cooperating and practicing, right? There’s still time to change them. As for chicken feet, they are unsightly, so I’ll just make them boneless.” Yu Xi blinked innocently Eye.

"...Here, the chicken feet are so thin, we made them into pieces, and I lost my appetite just looking at them." Jiang Wen still hesitated.

There is no need to worry, Yu Xi smiled, "Then wrap it on me, I can do minor surgery. After the bone is removed, it's as if it hasn't been taken apart, it's very beautiful."

Boneless chicken feet are really "soft as boneless" after processing.

For some reason, the four chefs who were in charge of the side hall trembled, feeling that their paws were a bit chilly.

After that, there are four seasonings. After some discussion, they decided to cut it in half, leaving only two seasonings.The other steps have also changed slightly. If Yu Xi wants to present the most perfect banquet, he must try his best.If the other steps are cumbersome, then this should be appropriately reduced.

Finally, amber peach kernels and honey pickled kumquats were finalized, one dried fruit and one candied fruit, which matched well.

After that, the hot dishes were supposed to be the highlight, but Yu Xi thought about it and felt it was inappropriate.

"The small dishes are appetizing, the seasoning is refreshing, and the tongue is still sweet. Come to taste the big dishes at this time, and the taste buds have not yet raised their acceptance. I think it would be better for us to add a first dish." Yu Xi thought for a while. Once, said.

Luo Feng, who had been listening carefully, his eyes lit up, and was amazed by Yu Xi's new idea. He thought it was reasonable, and quickly asked: "Then what do you think is better to serve at this time? Serving small dishes at this time will seem stingy, and serving big dishes is not easy." It's very difficult to make a choice."

Yu Xi smiled, "It's easy to handle. At this time, it is most suitable for soup dishes with extremely delicious taste. There are both soup and vegetables. I plan to use seafood and fish in this step! A pot of tongue cooked like this It’s all fresh!” As he spoke, he himself became excited first.

But Sun Yiqin let out a lack of interest, and said with a little disappointment: "Don't you make that fresh shrimp and siu mai? It's so delicious and beautiful...and the fish soup, it's so fishy."

Yu Xi shook his head, "No, senior. The fish soup is ready, it's much fresher than broth, and it's cooked together with other seafood, trust me, the taste will not be bad. As for the siu mai... …dishes I’ve made and don’t want to do again at a state dinner.”

The last sentence the young man said was extremely arrogant, causing their emotions to rise inexplicably, and the gods and ghosts agreed to his decision that sounded unreliable.

The taste buds have had a deep massage, and it's time for the main event.This step is really just like the chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep and pigs that Yu Xi had envisioned at the beginning, and he really intends to use them all.

Don't you love meat? Eat!Be full, open your belly to eat!

Everyone was really not at ease, and began to hesitate whether it was right to let Yuxi decide the menu.

Liu Hongxin asked him: "Yuxi, why don't you just forget about duck and sheep? Is it okay? I watched the live broadcast of the state banquet back then... the scene was very embarrassing at one time. The chicken and duck pot was really not eating a bite. The people were put in the farthest place... Sheep, the smell is really bad."

"No." Yu Xi insisted on her own opinion, with her hands on her hips.

Fu Ming also hesitated and raised his hand, "Yu Xi, let's go with the fish. Didn't you just say you used fish as the first course, so you don't need to repeat it here?"

"How can it be the same? One is soup and the other is vegetables. The tastes are very different." Yu Xi did not back down.

They looked at each other and were defeated one after another.

foul.She looks so good-looking, why come to negotiate!This is foul!You should wear a mask to negotiate with us! ! !

Those who disagreed wailed from the bottom of their hearts, and finally had to agree to Yu Xi's statement.Anyway... Chairman Luo has also been watching. He said that he would make suggestions if he felt bad, but the chairman has not said anything. In fact, there should be no problem.

Sun Yiqin also thought so, and asked Luo Feng, "President, what do you think?"

The little old man sighed as if waking up from a dream, "Oh, Xixi is so pretty."

Sun Yiqin: "..."

Yu Xi smiled shyly, and politely said thank you.

Mo Zhilan couldn't help but laughed, and quickly covered it with his hand.

Everyone: "..."

Oh...why do I feel like I'm going to be cold...

As for the sweet and salty desserts, after the decision was made, tasks were assigned.The salty part is more difficult, and Yu Xi is still in charge.The sweet part is done by the only girl, Sun Yiqin.

This salty dessert should be served between the second and third hot dishes, but since Yuxi cooks a variety of hot dishes, I’m afraid it will get greasy if I serve the dessert too early , so the order is adjusted to be presented midway.

"It's definitely going to be greasy, no matter how delicious it is, it's always going to be. Because it's all big meat." Yu Xi said.

The correct order of serving hot dishes at a banquet should be from light to heavy, layer by layer, so that the taste of the latter dish will not be overwhelmed by the former.In previous state banquets, the light and delicious Huaiyang cuisine was generally used the most.Even if there are spicy dishes, the spiciness will definitely be reduced for the balance between the north and the south.

This time, Yu Xi planned to cook spicy dishes. After much deliberation, he still felt that if he wanted to let the friends of the Federation experience the passionate empire, there must be spicy dishes.

Then I am even more afraid that I will get tired of my mouth, so...

"What—?! You want to make vegetarian dishes?!" Everyone said in unison.

"No, can't it?" Yu Xi was frightened, "A banquet without vegetarian dishes will make you tired..."

Jiang Wen explained: "It's not that vegetarian dishes are not allowed... yes, it is that vegetarian dishes are not allowed!"

Sun Yiqin saw that he was talking nonsense, so she helped him and said: "Federal people really hate vegetarian dishes, the kind that don't eat a single bite, they are very picky eaters!"

"This..." Yu Xi said with a heartbroken heart, "No, I still think it's unreasonable not to have vegetarian dishes. In this way, I just make it. It's their business whether they eat it or not. If they don't eat it, there are a lot of things. For other meat dishes, we still try our best to do our best. I will prepare the vegetarian dishes, so you don’t have to worry about it, and you won’t take responsibility.”

Vegetarian dishes are different. Vegetarian dishes themselves are ingredients that are refreshing and greasy.Even if it is arranged behind a dish with a strong taste, it will not be "overwhelmed", which is a natural advantage of vegetarian dishes.Interspersing it in the middle of the fat and thick fat is suitable and not obtrusive. Yu Xi can't think of a better solution than this.

Seeing that they couldn't resist him, everyone had no choice but to agree.Finally, we discussed a staple food together, and the basic process of state banquet dishes was over.

Yes, just basically over.But it wasn't over for Yu Xi, he blinked slyly and said, "Finally... shall we make a grand finale together?"

"Ah? The finale?" Pairs of eyes looked over curiously, and a trace of excitement rose uncontrollably in my heart.

what happened?Seems to be looking forward to it.
