Xu Jingming smiled and said, "When Alliance Leader Lu comes here this time, he must not only want to return the secret recipe."
Lu Teng also had a diplomatic smile on his face: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I really have something to discuss when I come here this time."
Xu Jingming raised his eyebrows: "Haha, but it doesn't matter."
"The Western Alliance has always been eyeing our Southern Alliance. Although their current strength is on par with our alliance, or slightly inferior. But as the saying goes, 'If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves remembering'." Over the years, the other party has continued to harass us, and our alliance has become intolerable. The old man just wants to finish his work in one battle and take down the Western Alliance as soon as possible! "
Xu Jingming didn't expect him to say this, and his expression changed slightly.
He took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Lu means..."
Lu Teng looked around and then focused on Lu Yuan.
He seemed to have made a lot of determination and said in a low but clear voice:
"I hope your alliance can lend a helping hand to our alliance!"
Xu Jingming smiled faintly and slowly put down the tea cup.
"Lu Laozhen can be said to be an old man who is brave and ambitious. In his old age, a martyr is full of ambition." Ah! I really didn't expect you to have such ambitions. "
"Excuse me, Alliance Leader Xu. I'm just a grasshopper after autumn. I won't be able to jump for long. But I still want to jump a few times before I die, otherwise I will die in a suffocating way. Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha! Mr. Lu is so funny." Xu Jingming couldn't help laughing.
Lu Teng asked tentatively: "I wonder what Xu Meng's idea is?"
Xu Jingming slowly stood up and walked slowly.
"It's not impossible to lend a helping hand. But according to the rules, what can your alliance give us?"
Both parties know each other relatively well, so the conversation is straightforward, without as many twists and turns as in worldly diplomacy.
Lu Teng immediately turned his attention to Lu Yuan.
Seeing that Lu Teng didn't speak, Xu Jingming continued:
"Mr. Lu, if you return the secret hot pot recipe, it is originally our alliance's property. If it is just this little thing, it is difficult to reflect the sincerity of your alliance."
Lu Yuan nodded to Lu Teng.
The latter immediately said to Xu Jingming: "Our alliance still has other things to give to your alliance."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"Elder Xu, let this little friend Lu tell you the details."
"Okay. My friend, please tell me."
"Leader Lu," Lu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "You are a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. We can provide you with better hot pot recipes."
Shu people are addicted to spicy food, and they have an almost religious fanaticism towards hot pot.
The hot pot recipe is something popular over there that can be exchanged for other things.
Almost akin to mortal currency.
"Hahaha! Really? You are really joking, little friend. Although our alliance is small, I can't boast that we are not inferior to others in our secret recipe for hot pot."
Lu Yuan was not impatient. He took a sip of tea and stood up.
"Whether the hot pot I serve is delicious or not, I would like to ask the leader to taste it before making a conclusion."
Lu Yuan had revealed this new hot pot secret recipe to Lu Teng before, but he didn't give details. Just ask him to send someone to find some ingredients.
And of course he knew that Xu Jingming had collected countless secret hot pot recipes. Is Lu Yuan's formula really better than all of them?
So Lu Teng was completely unsure at this moment.
He could only pray in his heart that Lu Yuan would not make any mistakes at the critical moment.
Xu Jingming smiled and said: "Little friend Lu is still full of confidence. Well, young people, I like the momentum of young people. Okay! Anyway, idle time is idle, little friend, just give it a try."
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!" Lu Yuan happily saluted with his hands.
At this moment, Lu Teng's heart began to tighten.
(M..COM)
The texture of the food.
If it's too cold, the meat will turn into wood.
If it is not chilled enough, the taste will be lost and there is a risk of the taste changing.
Guo Pu calmed down, faced the large piece of meat, took a deep breath, and started to dance with the kitchen knife again.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In less than twenty breaths, all the ingredients were cut!
"Haha, Sichuan hot pot requires extremely high knife skills. It doesn't matter whether you cut thick or thin. And different ingredients have different angles when cutting. If you cut beef at the same angle as you cut pork, it will definitely affect Taste! I also wrote down the specific numbers of thickness and angle in the secret recipe.”
The whole place was in an uproar.
"Really? Don't we all pursue thin cuts? Isn't it bad if it's too thin?"
"Does the angle really affect the taste? This is the first time I've heard..."
This is the first time that Xu Jingming himself knows that the angle of cutting meat affects the taste. He felt extremely shocked.
But he was still doubtful.
Are you trying to be mysterious? Then let’s see what impact your so-called angle has.
At this time, the soup in the pot was also boiling.
Guo Pu shouted "Open!"
When the lid of the pot is lifted, the aroma fills your nostrils.
Everyone said "Wow" involuntarily.
Xu Jingming's heart moved:
This scent...
He seemed to have entered the mysterious jungle of Sichuan, feeling the heat, humidity and fragrance, the surprise of visiting the secluded path, and the indescribable comfort and comfort.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone, you can try it now. But I don't know how many people will come before I leave, so I only prepared ten sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Shuangshu and Lu Teng immediately said, "We don't want to eat."
Xu Jingming selected the nine people with the most delicious tastes, and together with him, there were ten people to taste together.
The nine people first picked up different meats and put them in the pot to cook them.
It only takes a few breaths to eat.
But these days, Lu Teng has been feeling uneasy.
He has never eaten the hot pot made by Guo Pu and Lu Yuan, so he has no idea whether it will be favored by Xu Jingming.
Nine people put the food in the chopsticks into their mouths one after another.
For a moment, the sound in the hall seemed to suddenly freeze. There was only the sound of boiling hot pot soup.
They seemed to have seen something incredible, and their eyes were all so surprised that they almost forgot to breathe.
As soon as the chopsticks entered their stomachs, they immediately picked up the food again and dipped the food in the dipping sauce.
After chewing carefully, the nine people tried their best to suppress their excitement and joy, and unanimously nodded and praised Xu Jingming!
Lu Teng's heart dropped halfway.
After taking care of these nine people, it shouldn't be too bad.
But can it pass Xu Jingming's test?
Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the nine people who tried the food first with suspicion.
He picked up a piece of beef, put it in the pot and rinsed it, then took it out, blew on it, and slowly put it into his mouth.
The moment the beef entered his mouth, he suddenly felt that the taste buds on his tongue were forcibly opened by a mysterious force.
The right aroma and spiciness are immediately conveyed to the brain.
His whole body couldn't help but tremble.
With a gentle chew, the rich beef gravy and magical soup blend together and bloom immediately in your mouth!
The delicious taste instantly enveloped his sense of taste, smell and whole body, rushing into the switch in his brain that governs pleasure!
A new world slowly opened up in front of him.
The delicious taste of this hot pot is like a king who conquers the world. No matter how good you are, you have to kneel down in front of him!
Xu Jingming resisted the urge to kneel down, but tears were already streaming down his face.
