A long table was set up under the natural canopy formed by the huge banyan tree, and the waiters and maids walked among the guests like butterflies in flowers, serving drinks.
In an inconspicuous corner, there was an Eight Immortals table. Earl Leng swallowed his twentieth peach. "We agreed on a lunch. It's already dark, so I ate some fruit."
Wei Tianxing calmly poured a glass of wine for Earl Leng, "Earl, how is the situation there?"
Earl Leng shrugged, spat out the peach core, and leaned on his chair in an awkward manner, "It can't be finished."
"You and I haven't seen each other for many years, so let's have a drink today."
"Have a drink and I'll go back to Haiphong tomorrow night. I want to go home and be close to my precious daughter."
Wearing a bright red dress, Mo Hongniang said with a smile, "Well, what are you talking about?"
Earl Leng and Wei Tianxing stood up, cupped their hands and said, "Madam."
....
Jiang Zitao and Jiang Shang stood beside the burned-out main hall, their faces illuminated by the red charcoal fire.
"The dinner and the chef....no more??"
Jiang Shang smiled bitterly, "The four explosions just now not only destroyed the main hall, but also affected the large kitchen next to it. The chefs happened to be at the entrance of the main hall to greet the anchovy... They were all there."
On the ground not far away, dozens of corpses wearing chef uniforms were lying in a mess, waiting for the Jiang family's servants to deal with them.
So, the dinner chef I specially invited served me a pot? ?
"Most of the prepared ingredients were either burned or smashed into a ball of mud and could not be used."
"How about that giant anchovy?"
Jiang Shang pointed to the front, where a young man with a face covered in black and gray was kneeling beside a corpse and weeping silently. More than ten meters away from him, a charred object in the shape of a fish could be barely seen emitting bursts of hot steam.
"Unfortunately, the Nianzhi Nianli died... I should still be able to find a few kilograms of good meat from the anchovy... As for the caviar, it's impossible."
"I've already asked people to go to various restaurants to invite people. Every time they come and go... I don't know if it's too late."
Jiang Zitao gritted his teeth, "Damn it... I sent someone out to buy ingredients by the way. Buy whatever you see and buy them all! If you have anyone at home who can cook a spoon, pick them out for me. I will reward you!"
The Jiang family has been attacked by rebels many times, but it has never been as embarrassed as it is today.
An extremely lame sneak attack actually caused the distinguished guests at Miss Jiang's coming-of-age ceremony to be deprived of the dinner and go back hungry?
Jiang Ziyi couldn't afford to lose that person, and the Jiang family couldn't afford to lose that person.
A group of Jiang family servants were brought up. Jiang Zitao treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor, still holding on to a glimmer of hope, "What can you... cook?"
The head of the Jiang family said that there are rewards for many things, that is, there are rewards for many things. Someone immediately promoted him:
"I can make cold wild vegetables."
“The small slices of boiled vermicelli meat are a masterpiece!”
"I can make fried cucumbers, the kind with sesame oil and vinegar. It's very delicious. I guarantee you'll want to eat it a second time after eating it once."
Cold wild vegetables? Boiled vermicelli? Shoot... cucumber? ?
Jiang Ziyi felt his head buzz, like a fighter jet passing by at very low altitude.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
"Master..." Jiang Shang's eyes suddenly lit up, "The eldest lady asked me to specially invite Mr. Lin, do you still remember?"
"Of course I remember...he...yes, he is a cook!!"
Jiang Shang nodded and shook his head, "Mr. Lin is not only a chef, but also a very powerful chef. Jiushan Palace was renamed Bafanglou because Master Xue lost the competition with Lin Chou and was given away a dish."
"Go, please, go! No matter what the cost."
After a while, Lin Chou followed Jiang Shang into the big kitchen and couldn't help but marvel:
"Damn it, are you sure the rebel party's sneak attack didn't come specifically to your kitchen?"
"..."
Lin Chou picked at the ground, looked around, then shrugged, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."
It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She has nothing, and Lin Chou can't conjure up food out of thin air.
Jiang Ziyi slapped his forehead and suddenly thought of something.
He led Lin Chou to a gate behind the banyan tree, "There are only so many commonly used ingredients in stock. Have you seen enough? The ingredients for the dinner were carefully prepared long in advance. Now I can't make a second batch." come out."
There are bursts of air-conditioning inside the gate, which is obviously kept fresh by ice. There are all kinds of poultry, eggs, vegetables and fruits, all of which are commonly seen in the market, nothing special.
"As long as these guests are well fed...that's all."
Meals for hundreds of people were being served at the same time, leaving Lin Chou less than an hour to prepare. So, what to do?
"Wow..."
The sound of waves in the dark sea drowned out the sound, making Jiang Zili very upset.
Lin Chou thought for a while and said, "Okay, just use these ordinary ingredients. However, I still need one more essential ingredient."
"What?"
"Bullfrog."
"this...."
Nian Yi stood up from Nian Zhi's body and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Mr. Lin wants bullfrogs? I wonder if angry frog cubs are okay? Now is the migratory season of angry frogs, and they are often not seen even after catching them. When we arrived at the fish school, they were all angry frog cubs. There are many on the boat now...but the city gate is closed..."
"Can."
Jiang Ziyi waved his hand, "My condolences to you little friend Nian...Don't worry about the city gate. You can contact the Nian family's ship and I will send someone to pick up the goods immediately."
"Brother Lin, how much does Angry Frog cost? What are you going to cook?"
Lin Chou thought for a while, "The more, the better. It's too complicated, not enough time, and the ingredients are limited. Let's make the old Lin family's ancestral craft, bullfrog hot pot!"
"Fire...hot pot..."
Jiang Ziyi felt as if he had fallen into a dark pit, unable to reach the edge.
At this time, a beautiful woman walked past several people with a goblet in her hand and smiled.
Twelve-centimeter crystal high-heeled shoes, a silver-white diamond-encrusted evening dress with tassels and a beveled edge revealing a large area of white skin and back. Her hair was tied up high, and her two delicate butterfly-like golden steps trembled slightly. Wearing light makeup, she looked reserved and elegant.
Is it appropriate to serve a large pot of red and spicy hot pot to each table of hundreds of guests like this? ? ?
Jiang Zili couldn't help but said, "Lin...Boss, how about we change the dishes?"
Lin Chou was extremely confident, "Don't worry, this dish will definitely satisfy everyone."
Where do you get your confidence from? Hey, is it really good to eat hot pot on such an occasion?
Lin Chou ignored them and gave a series of orders. The Jiang family's servants and the kitchen assistant began to prepare various ingredients.
The processing of most ingredients is very simple, just cut into thin slices, the thinner the better.
Jiang Ziyi was extremely bitter, "Master Shang, is this kid reliable?"
