After more than three hours of work, Daolin prepared three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, leaving only the secret braised pork and pheasant soup.
The secret braised pork is very simple. It is nothing more than Daolin picking an exclusive sauce. The braised pork is fat but not greasy and melts in your mouth.
As for the only soup dish, pheasant soup is a bit difficult to make.
It is necessary to use fire to roast fresh bamboo to absorb the bamboo juice, and then take a pheasant and add nine ingredients for steaming.
The fresh bamboo juice obtained by roasting bamboo must go through a round of filtration, and then the filtered fresh bamboo juice is used to cook five-color rice. After it is cooked, the rice is filtered out, leaving only rice-less porridge.
At this time, Daolin took out the cooked pheasant, tore off the breast meat bit by bit, then chopped it into meat velvet without any graininess, and finally put the meat velvet into the rice-free porridge. Steam for half an hour and add appropriate amount of salt and white pepper.
In this way, this bowl of top-notch pheasant soup is completed.
"You guys can process the remaining ingredients later. I'll leave first." Daolin put four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and pheasant soup into the storage ring, because the storage ring is a medium without temperature in another space. , so Dowling is not worried that these dishes will taste bad.
After taking the food and leaving, Daolin did not take anyone else with him this time. He walked towards the city lord's mansion alone.
The City Lord's Mansion is generally the easiest to recognize, because no matter which county or city it is, the City Lord's Mansion will be the tallest building. This is to highlight the City Lord's status.
After crossing several streets, Daolin arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. After explaining his purpose to the guards, the guards respectfully invited Daolin in. Apparently, the people above had already explained to them.
In the small banquet hall, Li Aimin came over after hearing the news. Daolin took out the lunch box in front of him, and then laid out the dinners he carefully prepared one by one.
"Brother Dao, you don't know that since I ate the food you cooked last time in Longcheng, I don't think about it anymore. This time it's better. I was transferred here, which is a blessing." Li Aimin Looking at the exquisite dishes one after another on the table, a smile appeared on his face.
"Come over anytime you want to eat in the future. I will cook the food myself and we can eat and drink well." Dolin smiled and took out the wine gourd again.
"Or that fine wine?" Li Aimin's eyes were attracted by the wine gourd, and his obsessed expression didn't seem to be fake.
"Exactly!" Dolin pulled out the stopper of the gourd, and a refreshing aroma of wine suddenly wafted out.
"Sit down, sit down quickly..." Li Aimin said impatiently.
As soon as the two sat down, a maid came forward to serve them.
"Stand down, I don't need you to serve me for this meal." Li Aimin waved his hand to persuade the maid to retreat.
"For us brothers to eat, I think it's better to be more casual. It's not awkward to say something when there are outsiders here." Li Aimin said with a smile.
"Fourth Master is still thoughtful." Daolin smiled and raised his glass in toast.
"Why don't you call me Fourth Master? From now on, just call me brother. There is no need for us to see each other." After speaking, Li Aimin picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Daolin.
The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank.
"By the way, Brother Aimin, there's something I'm not sure about. I wonder if you can clarify it?" Putting down the wine glass, Daolin filled Li Aimin's glass and then poured himself a glass.
"The question is whether I will succeed the Lord of Shangzhou County?" Li Aimin said with a smile.
Daolin nodded. He was not surprised that Li Aimin knew what he was thinking. After all, if he couldn't even guess this, he would not be worthy of being the city lord.
"We were talking while eating, and I feel ashamed to say it. My father and I also discussed for a long time why I was asked to come." Li Aimin said, picking up a piece of Si unlike with his chopsticks.
"Hmm... this dish is really unique, with different meat textures and different cooking methods. It's high! It's really high!" Li Aimin praised while chewing.
Dorian also started eating.
"Actually, the most likely relationship is with the young princess." After Li Aimin swallowed it, he started talking to himself.
"Qianxue?" This surprised Dolin.
"After much thought, only the young princess has such great energy." Li Aimin said while tasting the delicious food.
Daolin nodded. He also felt that only this favored young princess of the empire could make the emperor change his old ways.
The two continued to talk a lot, starting from the development of Shangzhou County to the development of the east, and finally circled back to talk about the development of Daolin.
"Don't worry, as long as I am in Shangzhou County for one day, I will definitely delegate power to you, and you can do whatever you want?" Li Aimin said with a smile.
He scooped up a spoonful of pheasant soup and put it into his mouth. The rich sweet taste coupled with the full texture made Li Aimin hooked.
"To be honest, I really don't know what cigarettes you are talking about, but my cooking skills and wine are definitely top-notch. If you have a chance, I suggest you participate in the God of Cooking competition and then plate it with gold. I I have to call you the God of Cooking."
To be honest, Dolin really wanted to participate in a MasterChef competition, but something kept happening and he had no time to participate in the event.
"Let's wait until the next one. With so many things going on, I really don't have time to participate." Dolin smiled bitterly.
The two of them talked more and more, and eventually they both held a wine gourd and started drinking.
"By the way, how is Li Shuai's health?" Daolin asked with concern.
"If you want to talk about this, I have to toast you." Li Aimin put his arms around Daolin's shoulders and said.
"With the dirt-free pith-washing fruit you brought back, my father's body is getting stronger day by day. It can be said that he has regained his youth. I must toast you with this cup." After saying this, Li Aimin clinked a cup with Daolin and drank it all in one gulp. .
Dorian also raised his glass and took a swig.
Next, the two chatted about other things. Daolin was always thinking about Qianxue's whereabouts, and then found an opportunity to ask about it.
"The young princess has returned to Zhongdu. The secret letter to recall the young princess came with my appointment letter." Li Aimin was a little drunk and spoke with a loud tongue.
Daolin felt a little disappointed when he heard that Qianxue had left the east and returned to Zhongdu. After chatting for a while, he said goodbye.
Li Aimin originally wanted to send Daolin as a gift, but Daolin refused. What Daolin thought was that after all, he was the lord of the city, so how could he be allowed to give it to him.
Li Aimin refused to send him off, but sent someone to send Daolin respectfully to the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Along the way, the servants of the City Lord's Mansion were speculating about the identity of this guest who came to have dinner with the City Lord, and that he could be treated so politely by the City Lord.
Daolin didn't know what they were thinking, so he left the city lord's mansion and walked in the direction of home.
After Daolin left, Li Aimin continued to return to the table and began to taste the food. The original drunkenness had disappeared by now.
"Come here, let Kirigakure come to see me." Li Aimin said, stuffing a piece of braised pork into his mouth.
