24, cook 23
Marquis Weiyuan is nearly forty years old, but because of his high martial arts skills and proper maintenance, he looks only in his early thirties. He is thin and has a high temperament, and is filled with the charm of a literati and elegant man, without the vulgarity of a military general.
However, when he raised his eyebrows and his eyes were cold, a momentum that no one dared to disobey was pouring out involuntarily, making his scalp numb. Qin Erniang was so scared that she trembled all over. She quickly pulled Lin Dan's sleeve and whispered: "Little boss, don't be stubborn with him. He is Weiyuan Hou, and kills people like numb!"
Lin Dan naturally knew that this person was Wei Yuanhou, but he just raised his jaw slightly to look at the other party, and the smile at the corner of his mouth remained unchanged at all.
Tang Jiu stepped forward, blocked the two of them, bowed to Marquis Weiyuan and said, "Mr. Marquis, there is really no thousand-day wine in the store."
"Criminal Tang, have you come back from the north?" Wei Yuanhou glanced at him casually, with a hint of toughness hidden in his gentle voice. "Hu Feng told me that the wine was brewed by herself. No, this marquis can wait, but he refuses to sell it. What is the reason?"
"Captain Tang?" Lin Dan ignored the question of Weiyuan Hou, walked up to look at Tang Jiu carefully, his face full of sudden realization: "Are you a little marquis?" Tang, the surname is Tang, ranked ninth. She should have thought that this person was Tang Cheng, the young prince of Yongding Hou Mansion. I don't know what he had experienced in the past years. He grew from a beautiful boy who looked like spring flowers to his current appearance of big and thick. His facial features were still handsome, but he had a very strong masculinity. A scar at the peak of his eyebrows added a sense of violence to him. His close-fitting outfit could not contain his strong muscles at all. Compared with the handsome young man back then, he was completely different from the handsome young man.
Not to mention Lin Dan, who has a weak relationship, even if the original owner who loves the little marquis deeply, he may not recognize the other person.
Tang Jiu's body stiffened and he quickly explained: "Lin Dan, listen to me, I had already planned to tell you..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Dan smiled first. It was not a fake smile that was pretending to be generous or a bitter smile that was deceived, but the joy of seeing an old friend: "Little Marquis, you are safe after not seeing you for many years. Is the old Marquis in good health?"
Tang Jiu suddenly became hoarse and said, "Okay, we are all fine." Lin Dan was not angry. He should have breathed a sigh of relief, but why was he full of disappointment?
"I am not here to listen to you to reminisce about the past. Manager Lin, are you going to sell this thousand-day wine or not?" Wei Yuanhou's gentle voice was completely replaced by coldness. Several of his guards pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife, as if they would suddenly rise up in the next moment.
The group blocked the door. The diners in the store wanted to run but dared not run, and they wanted to stay but dared not stay. One and two were so scared that they looked deserted.
Lin Dan still looked calm and said, "Mr. Marquis, have you ever heard of Pengya?"
"The "Corpsy" says: Chixian Prefecture is the ruins of Kunlun. Its brine is floating and it floats into a bunch, and red grass grows on it. It eats one of its true colors and is drunk for three years." Wei Yuanhou's expression was a little surprised. He thought this was just a legend.
"A thousand-day wine can make people drink it once. If you have been drunk for three years, what kind of wine will be so strong? I followed this clue and finally found the Pengya, and restored the wine recipe from hundreds of years ago. But did the Marquis know that the Pengya float once a year and bear hundreds of fruits at a time. A thousand fruits can only make a jar of wine. It took me three years to get a jar of it, but it has been ruined by the bandits. Where can I go to make another jar of you for you? What I said just now is only one, and there are two. The Marquis returned to Beijing to recuperate, but do you know what disease you have? I saw that the Marquis' face was white, the eyes were red, and the eyes were red, and it was easy to dry and irritable. It should be a sign of liver damage, and wine was poisonous to intestinal poison. Medicines and hot monocrotizing groups have particularly harmful effects on the liver. If I sell you another jar of such strong wine, who will your condition worsen?"
Lin Dan said slowly: "For the sake of the Marquis' health, I can't sell this jar of wine, I hope you can forgive me."
Hey! After saying that, it became mine. Marquis Weiyuan turned the ring on his hand, and his cold and hard expression was a little loose. The leader of the guard who came with him hurriedly ran up and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, Imperial Doctor, I will tell you not to drink too much, just listen to what his old man said. This thousand-day wine has too much damage to the body. Can we not buy it?"
The guards who had been aggressive before, as if they were about to smash the shop with disagreement, all of them relaxed their expressions. It would be right if the wine was not sold. They wanted to wait for the Marquis to recover and follow him back to the southeastern headquarters as soon as possible.
"It's okay not to buy wine," Weiyuanhou knew that his subordinates were doing it for his own good, but he came back with excitement and returned home. After all, he was not so happy. He couldn't help but sneer: "I will have a meal here. I just heard your waiter say that you can cook any kind of dishes and that the customers are satisfied with? Well, I will order a table of dishes made with wine. Do you know? If you don't cook well and don't satisfy me, I will smash the store."
Speaking of this, the seemingly romantic and suave Marquis finally revealed the ruggedness and domineeringness unique to military generals.
Isn’t it because of your mouth that you are satisfied with? Tang Jiu frowned and he will stand up and argue. Others are afraid of Weiyuanhou, but he is not afraid.
Lin Dan grabbed him and nodded, "Of course."
"The little girl is very knowledgeable but she is very crazy. She agreed so easily, and you don't listen to my request." Weiyuan Hou continued, "Don't think that if you pour one and a half cup of cooking wine, the ingredients will smell like wine. Even if you are made with wine, you can do it. You can do it by making a dish with wine and eating a bite. "
As soon as this request was put forward, the diners in the audience were in an uproar. The use of wine can only play a role in seasoning in cooking. I have never heard of cooking. That's wine, which is equivalent to a handful of water, and it can be boiled in a pot at most and then put it in a pot. I have never heard of any chef who can make it into a dish. I don't say anything, but just talk about how you mix the tastes of sour, sweet, spicy and salty into the wine, so that it can not only be filled, but also satisfy its appetite. This is the biggest problem.
Wei Yuanhou is clearly here to smash the situation!
Tang Jiu glared at him and said word by word: "Mr. Marquis, you are so troubled. If you are so idle, why not go home and drink more Chinese medicine to take care of yourself."
"Little bastard, when will it be your turn to take care of my affairs?" Wei Yuanhou sneered repeatedly.
Lin Dan slowly tied his headscarf and said slowly: "Cooking with wine? Yes, Marquis, please wait for a moment." After the words, the nervous Xiaozhu carried out a jar he had treasured.
Seeing the jar of mud seal, Weiyuan Hou smiled proudly: "I still said there was no wine, wouldn't I just carry it out? Tell you, if the jar of wine you gave me was not as good as Qianli wine, I would still smash your shop, and begging for mercy is useless." He thought Lin Dan could not cook with wine, so he surrendered first.
However, Lin Dan just smiled slightly, slapped the mud seal at the opening of the jar and carefully snatched something out with a colander. Everyone looked closely and couldn't help but be surprised. They saw that the thing was half-arm long, long and crystal green, like jade. They were placed on the chopping board but they were bounced. They were very soft and tender, and they looked like some kind of food. Not only did they look good, but they were also very fragrant. As soon as they were exposed, they covered the smell of the strange-scented marinade, which was very domineering.
Even the Wei Yuanhou, who had been reading countless wines, could not tell the origin of this thing for a while, and he couldn't help asking, "What is this?" He swallowed secretly and sniffed again. The fragrance was so fragrant that this thing was so fucking fragrant, it was not worse than Qianrijiu.
"I learned how to brew this wine in Yanglin County. It is made by fermenting dozens of medicinal materials such as Codonopsis, jujube, tangerine peel, cloves, etc. The wine is rich and mellow, and has a healthy body effect. Even if it is dry sour without water, you won't get drunk even if you drink hundreds of jars. It's the opposite of the wine of the Thousand Days. The wine is called Yanglin Fei, why add the word "Fat"? It's just because there is a ingredient in the wine, which is fat meat."
I have never heard of making wine with fat meat! Everyone present was shocked, but when they saw the emerald green objects placed on the chopping board, they had to believe it.
Wei Yuanhou's eyes were wide open, and his heart was completely replaced by curiosity. He loved wine and naturally loved to listen to stories about brewing wine. In particular, Lin Dan seemed to know very well about all kinds of strange wines, which made him even more interested. He suddenly realized that he had misread this little girl. He was not arrogant because he had seen too much, but he had a clear mind.
Lin Dan cut the crystal clear, green and cute strips into thin slices of meat and said slowly: "This jar of wine has just been sealed for three months and has not yet been brewed, but the meat has absorbed the wine and has become crystal clear and shaped like ice jade. Don't think it is strange, in fact, there is a similar method of brewing in Baiyue area called Yubingshao, which is named here."
She put the cut meat into a basin, poured it with two spoonfuls of strange-scented marinade, grabbed it with her hands and marinated it. After that, she took out the fermented rice that had not yet fermented but had been soaked for a day, beat it into glutinous rice, and mixed it with light soy sauce, pepper, five-spice powder and other seasonings, and set aside.
Everything was ready. She poured the pickled ice jade slices into glutinous rice and stirred them evenly, then steamed them in a steamer for three quarters of an hour. After finishing the plate, she finally sprinkled a little minced ginger and chopped green onions calmly. This became a dish. Xiaozhu took out her kimchi jar, picked up some bean sprouts from it, scattered one by one in a small plate, and dripped a drop of sesame oil to decorate it.
"Mr. Marquis, please use it." Lin Dan gently put the vegetables on the table. Two dull sounds came. Marquis Weiyuan came to his senses and stared at her intently, with surprise in his eyes.
Lin Dan explained softly, "This dish is called steamed pork with wine, but it does not harm the liver, but instead strengthens the spleen and lungs, strengthens the myocardium, and is very healthy. This dish is called Liaozow mung bean sprouts, which nourishes the liver and calms the mind, clears the gallbladder and unblocks the meridians, and can relieve alcohol poisoning. You can try it first. If it does not meet your requirements, you will smash this store and I will have nothing to say."
