Chapter 438 Dream Bubble and Crystal Crystal

"Xuanyuan School, people with five flavors."

"Nursing Yuangu, Hua Zhenxing."

The questions and answers were filled with spiritual thoughts, and they introduced each other's situation.In fact, Hua Zhenxing had heard of the Xuanyuan School a long time ago. Dan Zicheng, the son of Xuanyuan School's Dharma Protector Dan Xiasheng, worshiped under Mei Ye Shimen, and was Shi Shuangcheng's elder brother.

The relationship between Xuanyuan School and Three Dreams School is very close, everything goes together.When Mei Mengzhu first built Feishui Zhiwei Building into the Kunlun League Liaison Headquarters, Wu Weichang, the elder of the Xuanyuan School, was the first head chef.

The "rotating store manager" of Zhiwei Building must have at least eight realms of cultivation, and they are basically masters from various factions, such as Yu Cangwu.And the "rotating head chef" of Zhiweilou also has conventional qualification requirements, not only must the dishes be good, but also must be good at alchemy.

After Mei Mengzhu moved the Kunlun League's liaison headquarters from Feishui to Wucheng, Wuweichang came here from time to time to be the chef for a while. He is also one of the veterans of the Kunlun League and likes Zhiweilou very much.

Wu Weichang is a smiling fat man, he is not young, but he looks to be in his early forties.Xuanyuan sect's secret method has been good at maintaining health since ancient times, and its effect of maintaining beauty is actually no less than that of nourishing vitality.

It's just that the requirements for practicing Xuanyuan's secret method are much higher than those of Yangyuanshu, and a specific environment is also required.Wuwei Chang already has seven realms of cultivation, so as far as he is concerned, there is actually no need to practice Yangyuan.

For Dacheng monks, the most important thing to describe is to look at the state of mind. Of course, the inheritance of nourishing Yuanshu is very useful to the Xuanyuan sect, so there is no need to say more about it.

Hua Zhenxing saw the five flavors grow, and unconsciously thought of Fan Dake, the head of the R&D department of Huanxiang Industry.

If Da Kezi also wears long hair and combs his head with a bun, and then leaves a short beard around his chin, his appearance will be seven points similar to Wuwei's, and he can even be regarded as the younger version of Wuwei.

A fat man has long hair and combs his head with balls. He looks very individual, because Wuwei is a Taoist priest. If a hairpin is inserted, the hairstyle will become a Taoist bun. At this moment, it is a layman's attire.

"My elder, Mr. Yang, has troubled you for so long in Wucheng Zhiwei Building!" This is Hua Zhenxing's second sentence.

Wu Weichang smiled and said, "It's really troublesome to meet a guest like him."

This made Hua Zhenxing not easy to answer, so he could only ask cautiously: "Mr. Yang didn't do anything excessive, did he?"

Wu Weichang asked back: "Once he ordered a dish called Feilu Baixue, have you heard of it?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Yesterday, I just heard from Daxia Yu that the old man ordered eleven dishes. He said that he was not satisfied with eating only one dish, so he added ten more. It must be because the chef's craftsmanship is so good!"

Wuwei Chang laughed out loud: "Don't you know what happened before the checkout?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I really don't know, and Yu Daxia didn't say anything."

The five flavors are long: "I was called out by him, and I was taught a lesson in front of everyone." There was also a divine thought in the words, telling what happened at that time——

Yang Tehong finished eleven plates of Feilu Baixue, then slapped the table and said, "Waiter!"

The waiter thought he was about to pay the bill, so he hurried over and said, "Have you eaten today?"

Yang Tehong glared: "It's not good! This Feilu Baixue is just making a mess, fooling the devil? Call the chef over, and I will have a good talk with him."

If Hua Zhenxing was on the sidelines, he would feel that he didn't even notice, this old man is too arrogant and unreasonable!In the eyes of other employees and guests, it is probably the same perception.

If you think that the dishes are not well cooked, why don’t you say so after the first bite?After eating one plate and ordering ten more, and eating all eleven, and then patting the table to call the chef, what kind of thing is this?
Wu Weichang was in the back kitchen at the time, and he knew all about the movement in front of him. He was really self-cultivated, and he came out with a smile, and asked, "I am the chief chef of this restaurant. Excuse me, sir, what is wrong with this dish?" What is your taste?"

Yang Tehong: "It's not that it doesn't suit my old man's taste, but what you did is simply wrong!"

Five flavors grow: "What's wrong?"

Yang Tehong: "You made it with farmed crucian carp, right? The original recipe of this dish should use wild perch from Zhijiang."

Wuweichang was surprised at the time, and quickly explained: "It seems that you are always an expert. The reason why I make it with crucian carp is to make the soup whiter and purer, and the fish jelly more beautiful. The taste is actually not bad."

Yang Tehong said unceremoniously: "You fat man, you have aesthetic problems!"

Five Flavors let out a long cry, and after a few seconds of stunned, he choked out a sentence: "What's your opinion?"

Yang Tehong: "This dish is called Feilu Baixue. Do you think I haven't seen this scene, or can't appreciate the artistic conception? When it snows in winter, the reeds are dead but the reed flowers are still there, and they will fly with the wind.

Reed flowers are not snowflakes. If there is a pure white background, you will find that its color is slightly yellow.The authentic method of this dish is to use river perch that is in season in winter. As for the cooking itself, there is nothing special about it.

The flesh of the perch melts into froth, and the layer close to the fish skin is darker in color. The fish jelly made in this way is like dancing with reed flowers in the snowflakes all over the sky, and the taste is also the best.

I ordered eleven plates of Feilu Baixue, but I didn't get a single plate of authentic ones!Tell me yourself, should you come out and confess to my old man?This is clearly fake and shoddy, only Bai Xue can't see Feilu! "

Some restaurant staff next to him wanted to refute, but Wu Weichang stopped him, and Wu Weichang actually apologized: "Old man, I'm really sorry that I didn't let you taste the most authentic Feilu Baixue today.

But the season is not right now, the kind of Zhijiang wild perch you want is not available now, you have to wait until winter.You can always make an appointment and come back when the time comes, today's meal will be free for you! "

Old man Yang rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm eating a king's meal? I'm just telling you how to make this dish, don't fool it and forget it once you get used to it! Waiter, pay the bill."

Yang Tehong checked out and left. Wu Weichang accompanied him with a smile and sent him out of the gate, saying that he is welcome to come back next time.

Knowing this, Hua Zhenxing couldn't help rubbing his brows, lamenting that old man Yang is too good at making the show, and Wuweichang's temper is really good, he asked with a wry smile: "Feilu Baixue from Wucheng Zhiwei Building , how much does it cost per plate?"

The five flavors are long: "28."

Hua Zhenxing: "This is Mr. Yang's fault. His so-called authentic method can't be eaten for 28 yuan. Are you not angry at all?"

Five flavors: "What's so angry about this? The old man didn't eat Bawang's meal, so he told the chef how to make the original recipe of this dish. He is obviously an expert, and there is nothing wrong with what he said.

That was the first time he slapped the table after a meal and asked the chef to come out to reason.Later, he called several times, and every time I went, even if he didn't call, I had to go out to say hello. "

Hua Zhenxing: "It's really hard for you. His old man's taste is not easy to serve."

Wuweichang smiled again: "Isn't that so, dishes like Feilu Baixue are nothing. One time, the old man ordered a dish, and then Zhiweilou had to delete that dish from the menu."

Hua Zhenxing was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Wuweichang explained what happened again.The name of that dish is Dream Bubble. It is a vegetarian dish. It uses several kinds of dried mushrooms to make a soup. When it is served, there is only a shallow layer of soup on the plate, with a colorful bubble floating on it.

This bubble is made of raw egg white, only the size of a walnut. The colorless and transparent film reflects various light and shadow colors in the air. If you use chopsticks well, you can pick up this bubble without breaking it. .

People who are not very good at using chopsticks can also use a spoon to scoop up the bubbles. Once you bite into the mouth, the bubbles will burst open, with a delicious soup aroma.

This dish can be said to be full of color, flavor and taste, but it feels like nothing has been eaten, because it is a bubble made of egg white, which has almost no weight.

This dish looks simple, but the craftsmanship is not simple. The egg white is raw, so the bubbles made are in the shape of a transparent film, which cannot be broken easily, and the monk's spiritual consciousness has to be used to process it.

Old man Yang ordered a plate first, and of course he was not full after eating. No one can get enough of this dish.This time, he didn't order another ten dishes at once like he ordered Feilu Baixue, but ordered another one, and after he finished eating, he ordered another...

No one has calculated how many plates of this "Dream Bubble" are needed to be full?Such a boring thing, but Yang Tehong seemed determined to try it, and ordered 51 dishes in a row.

Is old man Yang finally full? Of course not. How can a mere 51 dishes of Dream Bubbles be enough?Later, the waiter came to him and whispered apologetically, "Mr., I'm really sorry, we have accepted the order."

Zhiweilou is not open 24 hours a day. Let’s talk about lunch. Orders start at [-]:[-] noon and orders are received at [-]:[-] pm. Waiters and chefs also need to rest.

There is a two-hour break in the afternoon, and then orders are placed at [-]:[-] p.m. until receipt of orders at [-]:[-] p.m.After receiving the order, customers can continue to eat, but they can no longer order.

Old man Yang finally put down his chopsticks, instead of calling the chef this time, he called out: "Waiter, call the store manager!"

Yu Cangwu walked over quickly: "Old man, I am the store manager. We have indeed accepted the order, and we will not continue to open until five o'clock in the evening."

Yang Tehong glanced at him up and down: "Are you the store manager? I thought you were just a cleaner!"

Yu Cangwu: "I am the store manager and cleaner."

At this time, Wuweichang didn't call himself, and he still had his apron and chef's hat on, so he asked with a smile, "Old man, what's your opinion this time?"

Yang Tehong: "The dish I just ordered is quite a gimmick. What is it called Dream Bubbles? May I ask if it can be served with wine, rice, or hunger?"

Yu Cangwu and Wuwei didn't answer, but the waiter couldn't help but said: "The essence of this dish lies in its meaning, and the purpose is not to satisfy hunger or drink."

Old man Yang glared at him: "Whether it's me ordering or you ordering, why do I need you to talk about it? Everything is like a dream, like a bubble, like dew like electricity, and it should be viewed in this way. You just want to say this, right?
Then your dish is not right, what about Lu and Dian?Shouldn't the poor layer of soup on the plate be turned into dewdrops, and then put an electrified device in the bubble to make some sparks out?
I'm afraid you don't know, this kind of thing is available in toy stores, and they are made of glass.Do you make such a dish to amuse the guests, or let them eat?
This dish is the most clumsy formalism and symbolism I have ever seen!Such a vulgar deconstruction, what is the meaning, it means you are a big-headed ghost!
You make bubbles with egg whites, do you want to show that the dish you made contains Zen, or do you want the guests to feel that after eating this dish, you can get an epiphany after a few clicks?

If it is said that this is a dish that is satirical and mystical in a realistic way, I can still somewhat agree..." Old man Yang scolded the monks in front of him unceremoniously, and in the end he still did not forget to pay the bill. He walked away with his hands behind his back and his mouth curled up.

That night, Shi Ye, the boss of Zhiweilou, also known as Mei Yeshi, the leader of the Kunlun League, received a call, and he seemed to be scolded by someone.Then, the dish Dream Bubble was deleted from Zhiweilou's menu.

Wu Weichang knew about the recipe change, and he was there when old man Yang said those words.However, Wu Weichang only vaguely heard about the scolding of League Leader Mei. When he introduced Hua Zhenxing, he didn't say it explicitly, but only hinted.

Hua Zhenxing didn't know how to comment after listening to it, so he could only ask: "How many dishes are there in Zhiweilou's menu? Dishes like Dream Bubbles shouldn't be ordered for ordinary customers, right?"

Wuweichang said with a wry smile: "Director Hua guessed right, there are two cookbooks in Zhiweilou, the first cookbook has 72 dishes, anyone can order; the second cookbook has 27 dishes, usually not Available to regular guests.

Mr. Yang came more often, and the waiters were familiar with him. Seeing that he ordered a different dish every time, he also showed him the second cookbook.

The monks will also come to the Zhiweilou for meals, and the Kunlun League will also entertain the experts of various factions in the Zhiweilou. The second cookbook was originally dedicated to them.Of the 99 dishes in total, fifteen are vegan, and there are some in both large and small recipes.

There are many monks in the Kunlun League who are vegetarians, and these dishes are also prepared for them.The Dream Bubble ordered by Yang Lao is a vegetarian dish in the small menu, which is used to entertain Buddhist monks. "

Hua Zhenxing: "As far as I know, the precepts of vegetarianism are also different. Eggs that can't hatch chicks are indeed not considered meat, but some people don't eat them."

Five flavors: "It's just a dream, if you don't eat it, don't eat it."

Hua Zhenxing: "I mean, bubbles can be made with jelly! Zhiweilou can make colorless and transparent fish jelly, and of course it can also make colorless and transparent jelly balls.

Try to make the meatball less dense than the soup, so that it can float on the soup, and then try to make it tasty, so it looks good and delicious, isn't it better?Why make it so fancy, use egg whites to make a film bubble. "

Hearing that Hua Zhenxing was going to discuss cooking, Wuweichang became energetic, and he frowned and thought: "It should be no problem to make colorless and transparent meatballs with jelly, but the visual effect is different, not as colorful as soap bubbles." shadows."

Hua Zhenxing: "Ordinary chefs can't do it, can't the chefs of Zhiweilou not do it? Just find a way!

You can make a fuss about the structure, so that the surface layer of the jelly dumpling is denser than the inside, but the whole is still colorless and transparent, and it can have the effect of light refraction... This may require the use of spiritual power to process. "

Wuwei patted his thigh: "Yes, this method really works!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Don't just serve one on a plate, you can have a few more, can ten be enough? After eating ten jelly dumplings and a few mouthfuls of soup, won't Mr. Yang be full?"

Wuweichang suddenly laughed again: "But in this way, is it crystal balls or dream bubbles? What kind of dream bubbles can you eat with one plate?"

Hua Zhenxing asked back: "Forgive me for talking too much, could it be that the dish you cooked is just a dream come true?"

Five tastes are long: "It's true, that's why this dish was deleted from Zhiweilou's menu."

Hua Zhenxing: "So I'll help you make up another one. It's up to you what to name it. Of course, this is just my suggestion. It doesn't matter if Zhiwei Loucai adopts it or not."

The five tastes are long: "This is also the law of fate! I still have a bit of face, I can decide to add this dish, and I will make it when I go back this time. Director Hua can also try it when he is free.

Let me also tell you one more thing. During this period of time, the cleaning staff in the lobby of Zhiwei Building has changed. It is said that the time is three months.If Mr. Hua wants to enjoy the table-cleaning service of the Kunlun leader himself, he can take advantage of these three months to go to Zhiweilou. If he misses it, he will lose his chance. "

Hua Zhenxing: "What's going on?"

Five flavors: "I don't know the inside story either. According to Leader Mei himself, this is obeying the teacher's order."

After Old Man Yang left, the "store manager" of Zhiwei Building was replaced because Yu Cangwu went to retreat to clean the table.This was originally a post where experts from various factions took turns to sit in the post, but the next one was replaced by the leader of the Kunlun League, Mei Yeshi himself.

The shop managers who sit in the town are not all cleaning the front lobby like Yu Cangwu. They basically stay in the back kitchen or upstairs on weekdays. There are so many junior disciples from various factions, and there is no need for them to do this. live.

The most "hard" job in Zhiwei Building is the cleaning of the lobby, which is different from ordinary restaurants.

Usually the hardest part of the restaurant is the helpers in the back kitchen, but the employees of Zhiwei Building are all monks, as long as they are not in front of ordinary guests, they can clean the dishes with a wave of magic.

Yu Cangwu voluntarily did the cleaning in the lobby, and then Mei Yeshi followed his master's order to do this job too, probably because his master scolded him.But this is just Hua Zhenxing's guess, and it's not good to talk nonsense.

Hua Zhenxing: "Is anyone going to order food?"

Five tastes grow: "Of course there are people, every day, the business of Zhiweilou is very good."

Hua Zhenxing: "I mean monk Kunlun."

The five flavors are long: "That's not true."

Hua Zhenxing smiled: "Then I can't go either!"

If it is an ordinary customer who does not know the inside story, it will be fine. If the Kunlun monk who knows the inside story insists on ordering food in the lobby of Zhiwei Building, and asks Master Mei to clean the table for himself, then he is really finding fault.

Hua Zhenxing chatted with Wuweichang very well, and he learned through Wuweichang that in fact, all the staff of Zhiweilou have no ill feeling towards Old Man Yang, but regard his arrival as a daily pleasure.

For a while, old man Yang didn't go to Zhiweilou for dinner, and many people still felt a little lost.

Since the topic cannot avoid old man Yang, Hua Zhenxing also mentioned that old man Yang has been reading recipes as comic books to himself since he was a child, making the five flavors amused, laughing and screaming repeatedly!
Hua Zhenxing mentioned Chunrong Pill again, which amazed Wu Weichang. He was very interested in it, and discussed with Hua Zhenxing about the possibility of Xuanyuan Sect and Kunlun League's cooperation with Chunrong Pill Center in the future.

Before parting, Hua Zhenxing finally couldn't help asking: "Master Taoist, may I ask if your common name is Fan?"

The five flavors are long: "Who did you hear this from, did you double become that girl?"

Hua Zhenxing: "No, that's just my guess."

The five tastes are long: "Which secret method are you practicing, can you guess this?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Because I know a man named Fan Dake, is he a relative of your family?"

He introduced Van Dyke with his spiritual thoughts. Huanxiang Industry has Van Dyke's archives, and also recorded his ancestral home in the East and the names of his parents.

Wu Weiwei was surprised when he grew up. Van Dyke was really his distant cousin, but he had never met him before, and he heard that he had gone abroad a long time ago.

This is considered to be a relative, and Hua Zhenxing took advantage of the opportunity to invite Wu Weichang to go to Jili Kingdom for inspection and guidance when he has time, and to test and teach the cultivation of the younger generation of the family.

Wuwei smiled and nodded in agreement.

With Yu Cangwu and Wu Weichang's friendly "demonstration", in the following days, Hua Zhenxing has become a social butterfly in the Kunlun practice circle, and has to catch up with dinner every day, and often there is more than one meal.
