"If you think there's a problem, just change places."
"Uh, no. Let's go to Wanmin Hall."
Although he didn't really want to face the young chef named Xiangling, but thinking that Xuekui's main purpose of going to this restaurant was probably to get acquainted with his friend's disciple, Keqing still agreed.
"Well, let's go."
Ke Qing stared at her hand with wide eyes, not even knowing when it came into Xue Kui's hand.
The other party's action of holding her hand was really skillful and natural, and her body seemed to have some kind of instinct imprinted on it, and she followed it obediently.
Ke Qing, who was dragged forward, was surprised that the incident happened too suddenly, but after carefully understanding it, she didn't notice any sudden feeling.
...so be it, it feels good anyway.
"Here it is! Stupid."
"...Understand, I haven't been back to Liyue Port for a long time, so naturally I don't know where the Wanmin Hall is."
In the background sound intertwined with the girl's coquettish anger and the fairy's slightly embarrassing excuses, the two walked hand in hand.
And behind them, the employees who were gathering at the door of the house, peeking at the world outside the door through an open gap, all opened their mouths wide, and their thoughts were chaotic.
So, their boss was away a few days ago... was he in love?
......
On the tables and chairs at the entrance of Wanmin Hall, Ke Qing clasped her fingers on the table, and looked at the clerk who was walking towards them expectantly.
"Excuse me, is Xiangling cooking today?"
The clerk who heard this question looked at Keqing's nervous look, and immediately understood that this was an old customer, at least one who had been abused by his boss' daughter.
"Don't worry, although Xiangling is here today, Master Mao is also here. She can only make a move. If you order some normal dishes, Master Mao will cook them."
Hearing this, Ke Qing breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took the menu, ordered the dishes she liked, and handed them over to Xue Kui.
"See what you're interested in?"
Xiangling is the disciple that Sister Ping'er mentioned, and Xuekui listened to the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up. After taking the menu, he looked a little less interested in the dishes on it.
"Not satisfied?"
"How should I put it? I'm too familiar with Liyue cuisine, but now I don't have any interest in any dish."
It was only then that Ke Qing remembered that the food she had eaten on the mountain these days was all handled by the immortal in front of her, and the taste was definitely not inferior to those two famous restaurants, Liuliting and Xinyuexuan, or even far surpassed.
This is just the result of making random materials on the mountain.
"Oh? This customer seems to be a gourmand. In that case, why not order our restaurant's signature dish, the poached blackback bass? This is the genius work of our little boss, and you will definitely not be disappointed."
The clerk heard the conversation between the two and recommended dishes to Xuekui.
Poached blackback bass... I have never heard of it before.
Xue Kui nodded, and when his eyes glanced over the menu, he was suddenly attracted by a small area listed separately.
"...Let's have another slime mushroom."
The clerk's hand trembled, and there was a scratch on the small book, but he didn't care about it. Compared with this kind of thing, the courageous order of the white-haired customer surprised him very much.
Although the dishes that can be written on the menu are all dishes that have been identified and confirmed to be safe to eat, but this is the first customer who is willing to try such a strangely named dish.
After confirming with Xue Kui repeatedly, the clerk almost ran to the back kitchen to inform their cute little boss.
"Do you really want to eat such a weird thing?"
Keqing looked at Xue Kui with strange eyes, and there was even a hint of respect in it.
That's a tribute to the warriors.
"Well, I haven't touched this kind of dish before, and I want to try it."
Seeing that Keqing even showed a little worried look, Xue Kui explained.
"Just judging from the combination of ingredients, it is indeed an edible dish. The next step is to see how well the chef can make it."
While the two were waiting for their meal, the meal at another place also took place as scheduled.
After Kong and Paimeng helped Zhongli deal with most of the matter of delivering Xiandianyi, Zhongli wanted to treat them to a meal.
Although the young master pays for all the consumption of several people, the word "treat" sounds comfortable, doesn't it?
Just as the dinner was in the middle, a blue-haired woman with two horns suddenly appeared at their table, interrupting them.
"Excuse me, are you two travelers who are related to immortals?"
Seeing the person coming, Zhong Li remained silent, and Guo Beng pressed down on the brim of his hat, trying to cover his face.
"Huh? The collapse of the country?"
Still can't escape.
Guobeng clicked his tongue.
"Long time no see, Senior Gan Yu."
Gan Yu was a little stunned.
"You are here... Does that mean that Mr. Xuekui is back?"
24. The gradually lively dinner table
As expected of a restaurant with a good reputation among the people, the dishes ordered by Xue Kui and the others were quickly brought to the table.
Xue Kui looked at the food on the table, which mainly consisted of river fresh seafood, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
The child's taste is not the same as before.
But immediately, the corners of Xue Kui's slightly raised mouth flattened again, because right beside him, a pair of big bright eyes were staring at him intently.
Xue Kui looked at the little blue-haired girl who moved a small stool to sit aside after bringing the remaining dishes they ordered to the table, and covered her forehead with a headache.
Is the service of this store a little too... no sense of distance?
Scanning around, the other guests don't look like them, do they?
"Excuse me, don't you have to work?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Kui, who couldn't stand the little girl's bright gaze, couldn't help but use his little understanding of words to politely "ask" the other party to leave.
"It is also part of the chef's job to know the guests' evaluation of the dishes in the first place."
But the simple-minded little girl didn't understand the meaning of Xue Kui's words, which made the smirk on Xue Kui's face a little embarrassing.
Ke Qing, who was holding her chopsticks in her mouth, saw this scene. Although she was a little distanced from the little girl next to Xue Kui, she still couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Xue Kui's deflated condition.
"This is Xiangling, the little boss of Wanmintang. Most of the weird dishes on the menu are written by her."
"It's not weird, it's innovative! How can it be called weird when a chef studies new dishes?"
It seemed that Xiangling's soft spot had been poked, and the cheeks of the cheerful and heartless little girl were slightly red.
"So that's the case. Since this is the case, I will also cooperate with the little boss to make a review."
Knowing from Ke Qing's words that the person sitting next to her is the proud disciple that Sister Ping'er said, Xue Kui's attitude also changed accordingly.
Sister Ping'er's disciples are equivalent to his own descendants, and they can be regarded as "my family".
Because the appearance of a certain dish was too bad, Xue Kui did not start with it immediately, but turned his attention to boiled black bass.
The cut fish fillets are scattered in the soup, and the intact fish heads and tails placed on the edge of the bowl play a role of decoration to a certain extent.
It may be because the container is a black bowl, and the color of the soup in it does not show the bright red light common to spicy food, but a dull red color, which invisibly brings a sense of oppression to people, making people lose sight of it. After eating it, I got a feeling that is spicy enough to lead people to the place of purgatory.
If you are a diner who doesn't like spicy food, you will be put off by the appearance of this dish, but if you are a spicy food lover, you will probably be salivating with joy by now.
Putting the sliced Jueyun pepper into the mouth together with the fish fillet, and chewing, Xuekui's complexion slowly changed, and he sighed in his heart that no matter what field he is in, the new generation is full of talents.
The rich layers of taste are constantly changing in the mouth to stimulate the taste buds. Xue Kui can assert that even Marcusius has never made food with such a rich taste.
"The quality of the fish and Jueyun Jiaojiao is excellent. The chef himself did not disappoint the ingredients, and the heat is well controlled. The person who designed this dish is even more genius. The freshness of the fish and Jueyun Jiaojiao is not as good Mention, the slightly bitter taste in it makes the fish not too greasy..."
Xiangling held her head up and listened to Xue Kui's evaluation of the boiled black sea bass, her expression unchanged.
This dish of hers has already received too many compliments from people, and she has heard similar words from other people as Xue Kui said.
When she appeared here, what she wanted to hear more was Xue Kui's evaluation of the slime mushroom, because Xue Kui was the first person who dared to order this dish.
If you dare to order, you shouldn’t be intimidated by the bad appearance, right?
Xiangling glanced at the mushroom wrapped in the viscous slime liquid, feeling a little guilty.
The originally transparent slime liquid was placed on a black dinner plate, and the color looked a little cloudy. The mushroom slices in it were refracted by the slime liquid, and it looked extremely distorted, giving people a rotten appearance. Feel.
Just looking at the appearance, Xiangling himself feels that it is like the calling of the living dead in the quagmire.
Just when Xiangling was worried that Xuekui would ignore the slime mushroom dish, Xuekui's next comment on boiled black-backed bass made her raise her head.
"...But umami, spicy, and bitter are all irritating and strong tastes, and the faint feeling of sweetness is to neutralize the three of them, and even add another layer of change to the taste."
Xue Kui sighed.
"The person who designed this dish thought about it, and even took into account the acceptance of the human body, otherwise it would be unexpected to add a ray of sweetness."
Xiangling covered her mouth and looked at Xuekui with wide eyes.
Since boiled black-backed bass has become the signature dish of Wanmintang, many colleagues have come to try to crack its method, and those chefs are really good, even trying glass bags, an unpopular material between medicinal materials and ingredients out.
But none of them can reach the level of Manmintang, and this shortcoming is the sweetness mixed behind such a rich taste.
The glass bag is brewed with honey overnight before being ground into the dish, which is a step that others are missing.
Xiang Ling, who was told the secret of the dish, was not worried about whether Xue Kui would reveal it. After a brief surprise, she started to praise Xue Kui.
"Brother, you are so young. I thought you were just trying to be a newbie and randomly ordering dishes on the menu. I didn't expect that, little brother, you are so knowledgeable about food. The last person who surprised me so much was the guy from the Hall of Life. Here is Mr. Guest."
Xiangling couldn't wait to push the plate of "Call of the Living Dead" in front of Xuekui.
"Can I try this?"
There are many people eating, but it is very rare for people who are particular about food. After getting a certain understanding of Xuekui's knowledge, Xiangling looks forward to his evaluation of her new products even more.
Xue Kui originally wanted to use his chopsticks for the dishes Xiangling recommended, but now that he has received the expectant eyes from his juniors, he will not refuse even more.
With a gentle smile, Xue Kui rubbed the head of the little girl with shining eyes.
Having been patted on the head by a stranger who looked not much older than herself, Xiangling blinked, but when she saw that Xue Kui had already started working on the dishes in front of her, the confusion was forgotten.
"Are you really going to try this?"
Ke Qing, who was face to face with Xue Kui, looked at the mushroom slices and slime liquid that Xue Kui put in the spoon, with a hint of worry on her face.
Although the appearance of the dishes looks a lot better after using the white spoon as the background, it still looks very weird.
"Well, I'm curious about how it tastes."
Xue Kui put the mushroom wrapped in slime liquid into his mouth.
Obviously, if you ask for a dish based on its color, flavor and taste, this dish is unqualified.
But for Xuekui, as long as the dishes are delicious and can bring others a good mood, that's enough.
Slime fluid is edible. In the manual prepared by the Adventurers Association for new adventurers, it is mentioned that in the wild, if there is an emergency, slime fluid can be taken.
It's just a taste... It has no taste in itself except for the slimy texture.
But now, the tasteless slime liquid is more likely to be contaminated with the taste of seasonings and the umami taste of mushrooms than other ingredients.
The slime liquid, which is like a liquid but not completely liquid, not only makes the mushrooms smoother when entering the mouth, but also makes the mushrooms feel a vague gelatinous texture when chewed.
Xuekui looked at the dishes on the plate thoughtfully, and paired the slime liquid with the mushrooms to enhance freshness and enrich the taste.
"Do you want to replace ingredients like matsutake?"
Hearing Xuekui talking to himself, Xiangling suddenly became agitated.
"Brother, can you taste this!"
Facing Xiang Ling who was suddenly pressing over, Xue Kui had no choice but to lean back.
It's no wonder that Xiangling is so excited. To some extent, the purpose of her research on new dishes is to create delicious dishes without cherishing the ingredients.
Nowadays, the catering industry in Liyue is almost divided between Li Cai and Yue Cai. Rare ingredients are usually monopolized by restaurants of these two cuisines. What Xiang Ling wants to do is to break this situation.
Manmintang's current signature dish, boiled black bass, is her first step.
