Yipin Chef

Come to serve the food. Considering that Mrs. Xiao is old, a lighter taste would be more healthy.Considering that Mrs. Xiao came from a scholarly family, her food is not only palatable but also tasteful, and she doesn't like extravagance, so apart from light dishes, she only serves four dishes, most of which are vegetarian.

How to prepare this dish really took him a lot of effort.

First serve a bowl of lily white lentil porridge that clears the mouth and nourishes the stomach, and there are four delicate side dishes.

The first dish is Silver Flower Double Mushroom, which is a large peony set off by green leaves with white fungus, king oyster mushroom, coprinus eryngii and green cabbage heart.

The second dish is the pumpkin seafood cup. There is a pumpkin in a snow-white porcelain plate. When the melon stem is uncovered, a strong fresh fragrance can be smelled immediately.The meat is removed from the melon, filled with crab meat, fish maw, minced fish, conger eel and mushroom, and then brewed with aged Huadiao, put into the pumpkin and steamed. The aged wine is fragrant with the meat, and blended with the freshness of the pumpkin, which not only retains the seafood It is very fresh, but there is no fishy smell, and the unusual taste of freshness has never been seen before.

The third dish is Suihan Sanyou, made of bamboo shoots, plums, and pine nuts. It looks simple, but there is a hint of ingenuity in the soup.

The last soup dish, named Chuntang Mingyue, was covered with white as fat lotus root slices. Dozens of pearl-like things floated on the green soup, and there were a few pink petals floating on it. Mrs. Xiao took a sip. Not to mention the freshness of the bamboo shoots and the delicious taste of the soup, these pearl-like balls are made of tofu. It is a test of the chef's skill to cut the soft tofu into a ball. What is even more surprising is that there are other things embedded in the tofu balls. After taking a bite, you can only feel the aroma of meat, lotus, flowers, and soy sauce. All kinds of aromas are ever-changing and blend together, and spread to the eight extraordinary meridians through the tongue, making people's soul fly to the sky.

"Is the pheasant tendon meat embedded in your tofu?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

Jia Le admired: "Sure enough, the old lady comes from a family, and she can taste it. After the tofu is peeled, it is steamed in the best ham, and then the ham is discarded, and it is marinated with twelve kinds of sauces. It's pheasant, so that's what it tastes like."

These few dishes are neither luxurious nor greasy, but they are exquisite and delicate, revealing nobility, clearly expressing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Mrs. Xiao, who came from a wealthy family and has a tricky mouth, was also very satisfied and said, "These dishes look good, but it's a pity that I'm getting old and my sense of taste is not good enough, so I can't taste the good taste."

Jia Le immediately said, "I'll make another delicious dish and present it."

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xiao was rather embarrassed, and begged for help in private. Although the He family was in decline, the two brothers and sisters she had seen had a kindness and openness that a small family could not have. It can be seen that although their family was defeated, their tutors were still there. some.

Jiale went down to cook, and several people continued to eat. Feng Yan saw Li Shengrong coming to eat through the window, and said hello to Mrs. Xiao.

After a while, Jiale returned to the bamboo room with a new dish, and said to the guests, "This is chicken curry. I made it with a seasoning called curry from overseas. You can try it."

Mrs. Xiao tasted it, and said: "This dish has a spicy taste, but it is not overbearing. The aftertaste is mellow and slightly sweet, not bad."

Jiale said: "The taste of the elderly has deteriorated, so they are not sensitive to taste. They feel tasteless when they eat anything. Using spicy flavor can stimulate the taste, but it is not good for the stomach. So I tried to use curry, which has the effect of stimulating the taste but Not overbearing."

"It's really considerate and considerate." Mrs. Xiao was a little moved.Ye Chengfeng also said that Knorr's cooking is based on the health and pleasure of diners, and the dishes are made with [-]% sincerity, which seems to be the case.

Feng Yan came back from the Lanfang next door after saying hello, and also complimented Jiale.

Jiale added: "I bought this from a foreigner, and this is the first time I used it to honor others."

Mrs. Xiao became interested: "What is curry? You can show me."

"I'll get it right away." Jia Le hurriedly exited and went back to the kitchen to get the curry paste. When passing by Lanfang, Li Shengrong saw him and forced him to drink a glass of wine and introduce him to new friends.

The new friend is also a scholar, surnamed Wang, who looks very simple and honest. Jiale and the two greeted each other briefly, and saw that they brought a fat cat with them, and said with a smile: "Come and take care of me." Business, to come with such a foodie."

Wang Sheng said: "This is Brother Li's favorite pet recently, and he takes it with him wherever he goes."

Jia Le drank a glass of wine and said: "I have to go to greet the guests from Xiao's residence, and I will come back to chat with you in a while, I must eat well."

"Then go ahead and get busy."

Jia Le brought the curry from the kitchen and returned to the bamboo room to show to Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao held the small pot in her hand, the color was yellow and clear, and smelled it again, it was very appetizing.

"I heard that there is a kind of spice called curry paste in Tianzhu, which is far away. It turned out to be like this."

Jiale said: "People who don't know think it is a kind of spice produced overseas, but in fact it is a mixture of various seasonings, and the taste is very rich. It is said that hot flashes in Tianzhu area make food easy to spoil, so they like to use spices. Pickled foods are delicious, appetizing, and easier to keep.”

"Today I saw the rare food from overseas, so it was a worthwhile trip." Mrs. Xiao put the curry sauce on the table after reading it, and accidentally, the jar tipped over, the curry sauce tipped over, and the turmeric sauce spilled a puddle.

"It's okay, I'll wipe it off right away." Jiale found a rag and wiped it carelessly.

Mrs. Xiao was not in the mood to eat anymore, she was a little tired, and wanted to rest in a quiet place for a while before going to Shanguo Temple to offer incense.Ye Chengfeng and Jia Le led the way, Xiao Bai took the maids to wait on Mrs. Xiao and rested in a clean room with a tidy bed, told the maids to be obedient, and then secretly went to the kitchen to find Jiali, the two avoided the crowd Go to a secluded place to express your lovesickness.

Then Jia Le went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. Ye Chengfeng accompanied Feng Yan to drink with the rest of the guests. When he was drinking happily, the waiter in the front hall came over in a panic and reported that someone was messing up the place in front of him, and even scolded someone for flipping the table. .

Ye Chengfeng was annoyed: "It's unreasonable, I ignored these people, and I became more and more satisfied."

After the restaurant opened, there were occasional hooligans who blackmailed and made troubles. For such people, the merchants generally did not directly conflict with them, but they would deal with them if they went too far.Ye Chengfeng thought about how he would be able to shock these messy people in the future if he didn't show his strength.

"You do what you want, I'll come as soon as I go." Ye Chengfeng got up and hurried to the front hall to deal with things, Feng Yan stayed in the bamboo room alone and continued to drink.

Jiale finished the dishes and ordered the servants to bring them to the Jufang. The Jufang is a family of three generations and five members surnamed Hong. Considering that some old people have bad teeth, he specially made a jadeite fish ball soup. , the snow-white fish balls are embedded in the green thick soup, like bright pearls, people can't help but taste the delicious fragrance.

There is also a daughter-in-law who is just pregnant and has a bad mouth, so he served a dish of squirrel yellow croaker, deep-fried fish, the skin and meat are rolled up, the head is raised, the tail is raised high, like a squirrel, poured with sweet and sour sauce , sour and sweet are very appetizing, and the new daughter-in-law who eats everything feels delicious.

There is also a child of seven or eight years old. Jiale makes small croquettes for him. They are golden on the outside and loose on the inside. Impatient children don't have to worry about being stuck in their throats.

"This is the water radish kimchi as a gift from our store. It is sweet and has a little sour taste. After eating fatty meat, this is the most refreshing."

The Hong family's daughter-in-law tasted it and said it was delicious, and she kept picking it up with her chopsticks.

The old lady of the Hong family also squinted her eyes happily, and said: お/萫閄苐 "My daughter-in-law has no appetite for anything since she got pregnant. I heard that this newly opened restaurant has some novel dishes, so I brought her here." Taste it, I didn't expect it to really whet her appetite."

For women, Jia Le has always been gentle and considerate, saying: "You can take a pot with you, if the young lady can't eat and it's not convenient to come over, I can go to the house to cook."

The Hong family was very moved and said, "You are so considerate and considerate."

Jiale said: "Where, let people who eat food eat delicious and healthy food, which is the goal of food people, and it should be..."

"Ah..." A shrill exclamation broke the friendly conversation.

Jia Le's expression changed in fright, and he hurriedly ran over, only to hear the voice coming from the bamboo house, Ye Chengfeng was sitting on the ground by the door, his face pale.

"What's wrong?" Jia Le quickly stepped forward to help him up, while looking in the direction of his finger, his heart stopped beating in fright.

That Feng Yan fell facing the window, with a knife stuck in his chest, Jia Le crawled over with shaking legs to see, he was hopelessly out of breath.

Soon the government police came to investigate the murder case, and gathered all the guests and workers who were eating in Luminglou. After investigation one by one, they finally put the suspicion on Xiao Bai.

The author has something to say: kill, kill, help...

Next chapter: Lele and Xiaoye are going to investigate the murder case carefully.

The clues to solve the case are in this chapter, fat cats, curry sauce, the posture of the dead, and the structure of the zigzag house. . .

43. The fog is heavy...

The Miyang county yamen's arrester, surnamed Deng, is a veteran of the Gongmen. When he saw the murder, he immediately sealed off the place where the crime took place and prevented them from entering and leaving, and then checked the people present.

First of all, check the murder scene. The courtyard of Luming Building is in the shape of a zigzag, surrounded by four high walls, and inside is a corridor connecting each room and the back kitchen and front hall. Therefore, the possibility of outsiders entering the murder can be ruled out. The murderer should have eaten in the restaurant. guests or workers.

Because the restaurant is back-shaped and connected by corridors, the doors of the twelve private rooms all face the corridors. When someone comes in, the guests in other private rooms can easily see it. The strange thing is that everyone
