Just one appetizer conquered all the guests, and it goes without saying that when the food is served later, everyone at the banquet has the same look of anticipation.

The first few dishes of the banquet are mainly refreshing and light, with light seasoning and fresh taste, in order to correct the taste buds of the diners so that they can better taste the food afterwards, even the aperitifs are the same.

During the banquet, all the diners including the host's family were whetted with appetite. The dishes followed one after another, but the more they ate, the less satisfied they were, and they were always looking forward to the arrival of the next dish.

When the first main course was brought to the table by the waiters, everyone was shocked.

It was a dozen large dinner plates filled with carved flowers, each of which was the size of a potted plant. They were lifted by the waiters with both hands and then walked into the huge carved dining table—yes, the ones on the dining table were hollowed out. The gap is not only for displaying carvings and paintings, but also for waiters to enter it calmly, and then place large and small food carving plates on different positions on the table.

Soon, plate after plate of food carving dishes appeared on the dining table that was originally only gorgeously carved. Instead of waiting to be served, admiring a gorgeous bonsai display.

"These food sculptures...are they mini flower bushes?"

"It's still a dead miniature flower bush...but it's still pretty nice when it's dead?"

"It's very sad..."

When they saw the food carvings deliberately carved into the shape of flowers, many guests who knew the chef of the star palace were refreshed. Only a few people who didn't know were still talking in a daze, and then they were whispered by the people around them.

"You don't even know this? Didn't you pay attention to the sensational New Year's Day state banquet the year before last?"

"This is Master Xinggong's Knock-off Cuisine, which was famous all over Dongying in the past——"Withered Trees in Spring"! "

The keyword was mentioned, and the rest of the people also reacted in unison.

"It's that famous dish!?"

Goodness is like water, withered trees are like spring - this is the full name of the dish.

This dish became famous at a state banquet on New Year’s Day when the leaders of the three countries met. The process of the dish is also quite complicated. It is a colorful tofu made by hand-grinding the best soybeans of various colors and mixing them. These tofu are naturally beautiful after being made. The color is cut into a suitable size and placed in water to be carved into lifelike flowers by the chef with superb knife skills. Then drain the water and carefully take it out and put it in a special mixed oil to set the shape. Moist fried tofu will shrink into a small ball, like a dead flower.

At the original state banquet, the tofu was carved into the shape of various Japanese chrysanthemums. The waiters who served them carefully poured the special tea soup on the dishes in front of the diners. At first, they were just withered flowers of various colors. Visible speed absorbs water and expands, and then blooms gorgeously again.The scene of flowers competing for splendor on the entire dining table amazed not only the leaders of the three countries at the scene, but also countless people around the world who were watching the live broadcast.

Whether it is the horrible knife skills of some needle-tube chrysanthemums with petals as thin as 2 mm in the dishes, or why the fried tofu comes out of the deep-fried brown and regains its original color in such a short time, it has aroused widespread enthusiasm among countless people. discuss.It wasn't until the culinary master himself unraveled some of the secrets in Yuanyue's public class that the frenzy subsided.

Kumu Fengchun is not only stunning and beautiful in appearance, but also tastes great. Under the skillful hands of Master Xinggong, each flower-shaped variety of those Japanese chrysanthemums is a dish with a taste. It is a vegetarian dish developed from tofu, but diners can taste pork. The taste, fish and even shrimp, squid, etc. are almost fake.

It is said that the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the screen at that time really expressed their envy and hatred for a long time, because the leaders of the three countries who were supposed to communicate with each other with a reserved face at that time did not look up at all, diplomatic rhetoric Leave it all behind and just exchange food experience happily.

There are very few such famous strange dishes that have never been heard of in Dongying Country.But since that state banquet, it has reappeared less often, only two or three times when it died.

——No way, Xinggong Yuli is not only a master of cooking, she is also a master of painting, even if she stays at home all the time and sells paintings, she doesn't have to worry about running out of money.

In this situation, after she held the [Reincarnation Banquet] and directly became the uncrowned God of Cooking, her net worth became higher and she planned to transform into a behind-the-scenes boss through the Xinggong Pavilion expansion plan, it became even more impossible to be hired to cook. It wasn't until the Hosokawa family exchanged two pieces of land near the Xinggong Pavilion that she was willing to take the trouble to organize the banquet again.

The guests are all excited to be able to eat this meal now, it is too rare to be able to eat the dishes of God of Cooking, let alone this kind of big banquet that is personally responsible for the whole process?Didn't you see that the commander-in-chief Nakiri, who now bears the title of a serious chef, has almost never touched a pot in front of the public?

"But... I clearly remember that the dish at the state banquet is not what it is now. Not only the petals of these flowers are dead, but the leaves of the branches are also withered, and their overall shape is not like the chrysanthemums at the state banquet... ..."

When someone at the banquet first raised this doubt, the waiters had already carefully poured the dishes over the dishes with the silver pots containing the tea soup.

The majestic Daguangjian in front of them is gradually fading away, and people can see a beautiful manor in a trance, where the breeze is clear and the water is gurgling, and it is a beautiful dream that relaxes the mind and mind.It's just that the shadow of the manor is very vague, and it disappeared with the strange tea fragrance gradually fading away.

The disappearance of the phantom of the manor made many people feel disappointed, but when they regained their senses and faced the banquet, people were once again distracted by what happened on the table.

The waiters pouring tea had come to an end. When the light rain of tea stopped, the dead branches and fallen leaves on the dinner plate started a new transformation.

Tick.

A drop of soup dripped onto the plate from above, like a signal, the withered flowers were shaking slightly, they stretched their petals and branches, changing from dull colors to bright, stretching like a new life put.

The bright red petals are as rich as blood, and the golden stamens shine brightly under the light. Against the background of the emerald green branches, they are noble and charming.

"This is... Yabu Tsubaki."

Someone called out the name of this flower. This is also a very famous flower species in Dongying Kingdom. It is a sacred flower that is as famous as cherry blossoms. In the past, it was once regarded as a symbol of samurai integrity.

"It's Yabu Tsubaki." Chief Hosokawa admitted with a nod, and explained gently with a smile on his face, "Master Xinggong took the initiative to improve the dishes after hearing that his mother only loved Yabu Tsubaki. "It can also be called "withered wood meets chun" here. "

Patriarch Hosokawa spoke unhurriedly, but the show off inside and outside the words can be felt personally. Everyone followed his direction and looked at the dinner plate placed in the middle of the table, only to find that I also made a stand imitating a stone tablet with food carvings, and a Chinese poem was engraved on the stone tablet——

Dongyuan is rainy and windy in March, and peaches and plums are falling and sweeping.

Only the camellia is more durable, and the green bushes put a few red branches.

The chrysanthemum flower of Dongying Kingdom is called camellia in Huaxia, but the toon is a unique flower species of Dongying Kingdom.The petals are bright red, large and showy, with golden stamens inlaid in the middle, which is exactly what the grandmother of the Hosokawa family likes. When the camellia flowers bloom on the table, the old lady's face smiles brighter and brighter.

The guests at the scene were all amazed, looking at the recipe specially improved for the birthday star in front of them, and then looking at the specially designed and customized dining table to make it shine at the banquet, the cook's cooperation with the host at the banquet Undoubtedly, their intentions have been shown. At this moment, everyone agrees from the bottom of their hearts that it is not a loss at all for the Hosokawa family to spend two pieces of land.

The people who were most surprised at the scene were those who were lucky enough to taste "Fengchun with Dead Trees" before, such as Atobe and Akashi. The teenagers clearly remembered the last time they participated in Yuli Xinggong's debut banquet [Four Seasons Banquet]. Only the flowers are changing in the dishes, but now this "Dead Wood" is changing from the burnt color to the new green from the flower branches to the green leaves. When eaten together with "flowers" and "green leaves", it will directly produce the most wonderful soup reaction.

The difference, these experienced diners can taste it as soon as they take it.

Her cooking skills have improved again!

Promoted from a cooking master to a chef master, the deliciousness of the cooking is clearly discernible on the tip of the tongue!

Becoming a God of Cooking will not become the end of her culinary skills, this person will continue to improve, and she will continue to leave behind people far away!

"This, this texture...! Is this really made of tofu? It clearly tastes like beef in your mouth!"

"It's blooming! I saw a rain in the manor, and all the withered flowers and plants were reborn!"

"I thought that fried soy products would have a bad mouthfeel when soaked in water, but it turned out to form another wonderful reaction with tea soup, turning into an amazing meaty taste?... Amazing, this is the cooking and chemical reaction of the ingredients What a profound understanding it takes to achieve such perfection!"

"The flowers are delicious, and the flower branches and leaves are also super delicious. Everything on the dinner plate is edible and not decorations. Try it too!"

The atmosphere during the banquet became more lively than ever. No one had time to think about anything else. Everyone was only focused on tasting and exchanging thoughts about the food.

The first main course was so amazing, and the dishes served after that will only be more elaborate. All the guests are full of high expectations for the next dishes of the banquet.

And the uncrowned God of Chef did not live up to their expectations. Out of a total of [-] dishes, he presented four other dishes of the same level as Kumu Fengchun, interspersed with bowls and soups. The intercourse serves as an adjustment to firmly control the taste rhythm of the guests from the beginning to the end, until the exquisite dessert made of seasonal fruits is used as a rest at the end, which completely ends the feast on the tip of the tongue.

After the banquet, none of the guests wanted to leave the table.

"Patriarch Hosokawa, can you invite Master Xinggong to come over? We want to thank her personally, thank her for making such delicious dishes for us. I think I will never forget the touch I experienced during this feast. gone."

One of the guests expressed the feelings of all the people present, and people like Hosokawa Riku who had doubts about the name of God of Cooking also nodded repeatedly. Now he completely understands why his father would go so far to befriend Xinggong at all costs. Master, she is definitely worthy of this expensive appearance fee for this unrealistically superb cooking skill.

After eating such a delicious food, it will be uncomfortable to eat anything else in the future.I'm afraid it will take a long time to adjust back, and I will miss it from time to time, which makes me feel even more uncomfortable.

People like the Maeda family and the Tokugawa family are too unkind. They must have been friends with Master Xinggong all the time because they knew this, but they deliberately kept silent, and the Shimadzu family did the same. No wonder they took the initiative to propose civil engineering renovations to the Xinggong Pavilion The cooperation, the contract also gave a lot of benefits, so they were all waiting here.

The heir of the Hosokawa family secretly conspired, and suddenly felt that he could not admit defeat. Even the old patriarch Maeda could take the initiative to get involved with the chef god of Xinggong so shamelessly for the sake of food, and he, a junior, had no burden.

"Ha chirp!"

Yu Li, who was called to the Daguang Room by the person in charge just after cleaning up in the kitchen, sneezed again, and couldn't help but look up at the already dark sky and the lush green courtyard outside the porch.

The catkins in spring are really an unsolvable problem. Next time, she must remember to wear a mask in places with a lot of catkins.

…………

In a tea room far away from the Daguang Room, although Yiqi Yizhen still maintained an upright sitting posture, people could not help dozing off because of the too quiet atmosphere.

In a trance, he dreamed of the old house that the main hall bought in Kamakura.

It was also the day when the old house was ignited by a demon fire before it was rebuilt in situ, and it suddenly caught fire.

The flames, the sky filled with flames again.

The flaming demon fire set the entire mansion on fire, and all the men with swords and swords including him tried their best to save them, but it was irretrievable. In the end, they returned to the main body helplessly and waited for the flames to cover the entire knife room.

Just when he thought he was going to be buried in the sea of ​​flames again, the main hall, which had not returned for some reason, rushed towards them desperately under the fire.

With his head drooping to a certain extent, he was suddenly awakened by the sudden uncontrollable forward lean of his body. Yiqiu opened his eyes, and what he saw was an empty and quiet tea room.

Looking around subconsciously, he saw the exact time on the ancient standing clock on one side of the wall.

9 points.

"Already at this point?" The blue-haired sword stood up immediately.

The attendant remembered that the main hall had said that regardless of whether the restaurant could end on time at 9:9, the kitchen would be all busy before [-]:[-], and it was time for him to go to the big kitchen to pick up the main hall.

As soon as he lifted his foot and took two steps forward, the ground suddenly shook violently. The standing clock leaning against the wall fell suddenly, and the set of tea set on the coffee table even swayed and dropped several cups. When he stabilized his figure, the tea room was already in a mess.

"Is there an earthquake?" The shaking of the ground lasted less than five seconds and then stopped, but the face changed in the first phase, "... the main hall!"

Earthquakes are already quite common disasters for the island nation of Japan. It is precisely because of the awareness of the dangers of such natural disasters that it is difficult to maintain calm in the first phase.

He didn't know if the earthquake would come again, but he had to find the main hall before the possible earthquake and take her out of the dangerous zone!

The valet who was rushing towards the kitchen didn't know that his master had been invited to the large room to socialize with people long ago. When he found out about this, he hurriedly asked other While cooking, there was another short but violent shaking of the ground, and after that, another scream sounded in the house.

"Ah—! Come on! It's on fire—!"

When the earthquake hit for the first time, Yu Li was chatting happily with the grandmother of the Hosokawa family and others in the large room.

Oh, it should be said that while listening to the unstinting compliments from these extremely satisfied guests, he calmly smiled and shook his head to reject the banquet order invitations proposed by these people "by the way".

The birthday star himself was even more unsatisfied, the old lady grabbed Yu Li's hand and wanted to ask for an appointment: "Master Xinggong, come and do it for me when I celebrate my birthday next year, just tell me which land you like , don’t need my son, my wife, I have money myself.”

Hosokawa is not short of money. The old grandmother has a proud face in front of her helpless children and grandchildren. As an ancient family that has lasted from the Warring States Period to the present, it goes without saying that the Hosokawa family is famous for its many literati. I like to collect antiques such as famous paintings and utensils. Putting it in the current peaceful age means that there is no need to say anything. If the old lady can become the ancestor of the Hosokawa family, how could she have no money on her, maybe more than the patriarch's son rich.

Yu Li couldn't help laughing, but before he could respond, the old lady was squeezed away by an old man. The old patriarch of the Maeda family had no intention of giving in to the birthday star of the same generation, so he yelled: "Don't listen to this old woman, How much thought did you put into this banquet. Come and organize it for me, Master Xinggong, I will also celebrate my birthday next year, and I don’t want to follow Mrs. Hosokawa’s high-profile way. Just hold a family banquet. You don’t need to be like this, Master Xinggong. tired."

"Toshiyu Maeda, what do you mean! I kindly invite you to dinner and you still hate it?" The old birthday star of the Hosokawa family quit on the spot, because it was a relationship of the same generation, and the old lady was not polite to the old patriarch Maeda at all. All of a sudden, the elders started bickering, and the juniors below, including Patriarch Hosokawa, could only watch helplessly.

When Yu Li was planning to smooth things over for the two old children, the first round of earthquakes came unexpectedly.

The words "don't worry, both elders" on her lips changed to "be careful!" at the same time as she was speaking, her hands were stretched out, one left and one right clamped the two old people who happened to be in front of her, and she jumped back.

Bang!

A palace lantern hit the place where the two elders were standing before, and the thick lampshade made of crystal splashed all over the place on the spot. Those who were slow to react due to the size and weight all looked terrified.

"Everyone, go to an open place first, you can't stay here anymore!" Next to the big room is a beautifully built courtyard, the host reminded loudly, and all the guests hurriedly left the building area in a chaotic and orderly manner.

They had just stopped on the lawn clearing when the second wave of earthquakes suddenly hit.

After that, a sharp fire alarm sounded in the house.

The flames that came out of nowhere burned half of the mansion at a speed beyond common sense.
