Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 881 Chrysanthemum Bird’s Nest Jelly in Former Soup

"Working tonight!" That night, Cao Cao changed into casual clothes and came to the banquet.The seats are mainly at the general level, as for the soldiers, other arrangements will be made.Of course, the menu over there is not so luxurious.

"Thank you for your efforts. The three-month war has finally won with an absolute advantage. Yuan Shao fled to the north, but this is far from over! It's just that the next war will be handed over to the Yanzhou and Xuzhou legions. Go north again!" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu.

"The last general will definitely be the imperial court and take down the three prefectures in Hebei!" Cheng Yu immediately promised.

"Arrange the time at will, starting from tonight, how to fight is up to you!" Cao Cao said.

"Yes!" Cheng Yu replied, so he officially took over this important task.

"In this battle, although we have won all three local wars, there are still many loyal and elite soldiers who died on the battlefield. I will return to Xudu tomorrow, so I can't do a good job for these generals and soldiers. See you off. Therefore, tonight's military banquet is also a farewell banquet, to see off the comrades who have passed away!" Cao Cao said immediately.

If it's just for Guo Jia, then it's a bit extravagant and wasteful, but if it's sublimated to all the dead soldiers, then it's not a big problem.For Wang Yong's petty temper, Cao Cao also tried his best.

"Serve the wine!" Cao Cao ordered, and the back kitchen brought up the water and wine one after another.Alcohol was originally banned in the military, but today is a special case.

"The first cup, respect the sacrificial Pao Ze, thank them for their sacrifices for the great man!" Cao Cao raised his glass, and then spilled the wine on the ground.There is no monument these days, and there is barely a cloud platform to record heroes.In fact, many people don't care about the lives of soldiers, especially ordinary soldiers.

Especially those who simply recruited refugees, did not even have military pay, and only provided three meals a day for the army.The so-called soldiers, perhaps to them, are just a bunch of numbers on the books.

The officers below were a little bit emotional, the troops under their command had casualties to some extent, and some boys who thought they were not bad a while ago were already a handful of loess in retrospect.The soldiers of the Han army are all paid professional soldiers. Because of this, it is difficult to really regard them as a bunch of data.

Everyone raised their wine glasses and sprinkled them on the ground. This glass is dedicated to the dead soldiers!But only a few people know that Cao Cao's glass of wine was dedicated to Guo Jia.The cup in their hands, in fact, why not? !

"Order the kitchen, serve the food!" Cao Cao put the wine glass back, and then ordered to the side.

"So... almost..." Lu Bu was agitated, she hadn't eaten fragrant and soft food for several days.Especially during the attack on Wuchao, eating became a problem.

"I really don't know if it's true..." Cao Cao was embarrassed, she didn't know what the recipe was.

"Speaking of which, where's the chef?" Xun You looked around, but he didn't seem to see Wang Yong.

"The chef was exhausted, so after cooking, he went back to rest." The sous chef in charge explained that Wang Yong was in a trance at that time, and felt that he would faint at any time. He hosts.

"Is he really working in the back kitchen all day?" Cao Cao was a little moved.

"Yes, since yesterday, I have been busy since the preparation of the materials. Conception, cooking and improvement... Almost all the dishes for the guests at the dinner party were cooked by him himself." The sous chef replied.

These sous chefs, kitchen assistants and handymen can only work as helpers, and often they are not even busy.

"Forget it, let's serve!" Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't go over to inquire about the situation, so he could only wave his hand to signal the start of the banquet.

"The first dish! Chrysanthemum bird's nest jelly!" Hearing this, the sous chef immediately announced the opening of the banquet and announced the name of the dish.Later, servants appeared one after another, delivering dishes one by one to the guests attending the banquet.

This is a golden golden chrysanthemum in full bloom, it looks so golden and beautiful, but the problem is...

"He won't let us eat chrysanthemums, will he? What kind of jelly is that?" Yu Jin looked at the sous chef suspiciously.In a soup bowl, there is such a blooming golden chrysanthemum, what does it mean? !

"Everyone, you can taste it directly, and then you will understand it naturally!" The sous chef knew the mystery, but deliberately didn't reveal it.

"General... this chrysanthemum is not a real chrysanthemum!" Xun You saw the clue, then picked up the spoon, scooped it lightly, and it really began to deform, "It was carved out with fine carving work. Soup jelly!"

"This chrysanthemum is soup?!" Everyone picked it up and scooped it up a little bit. Sure enough, the chrysanthemum was deformed, and then they realized that it was soup jelly, not the real chrysanthemum.But just now, the soup jelly in this bowl can really be faked.

"Sculpture so much all at once, can you not get tired?" Cheng Yu shook his head, "Wen Qian, you have screwed the chef."

"I didn't expect that he would be so desperate..." Yu Jin sighed, he couldn't have fought with him at that time, could he?With Wang Yong's strength, how can it be considered a fight? It's simply being a sandbag!
"This carver is really good... But as a pre-appetizer soup, the soup jelly is acceptable... The source of the gelatin should be bird's nest? This thing seems to be rich in gelatin..." Xun You put it in front of his nose, smelling Smell, a touch of chrysanthemum fragrance.Immediately, swallow it in one gulp.

The soup jelly melts in the mouth, the fragrance of bird's nest and the sweetness of chrysanthemums imply a mellowness, which is the honey added to it.

Recently, the weather has started to pick up. Even at night, it is a bit hot and dry. After drinking this soup, the whole person is immediately refreshed, and at the same time, it produces body fluids and quenches thirst, which is very comfortable.

Suddenly opened his eyes, it seems that there is already a sea of ​​flowers around, golden chrysanthemums are blooming here, how beautiful it is, but why is there a kind of sadness?That's right, the flower language of chrysanthemum means "remembrance". This blooming golden chrysanthemum garden is Wang Yong's remembrance of Guo Jia!
"Huangbai honey!" The sous chef explained, "Huangbai honey has a slight bitterness and astringency, which generally destroys the taste, but if it is 'intentionally creating a certain taste', then Huangbai honey is obviously the most suitable for this dish. Honey!"

Having said that, even the sous chef did not expect how much honey there is in this world, let alone distinguish the taste of each type of honey, and how to match it in dishes... Chef, it is really scary!
"Indeed, this bitter and astringent taste is very subtle, and it does not cover up the scent of bird's nest and chrysanthemum, but blends into it." Cao Cao nodded, "I miss the chrysanthemum garden, this dish is prepared for seeing off... very delicious Front soup."

The delicacy that can make people feel like they are in the chrysanthemum garden is made with the most common materials. Only those who have been chefs know how profound cooking skills are contained in it.

In her case, at most, she could only use molds to make similar things, but the taste was definitely not sublimated to this level.And for laymen... probably just lament its deliciousness...

"Did Yuan's death make you so sad?" Through this dish, Cao Cao could not help feeling the emotions in it.
