Old man Yang rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm eating a king's meal? I'm just telling you how to make this dish, don't fool it and forget it once you get used to it! Waiter, pay the bill."

Yang Tehong checked out and left. Wu Weichang accompanied him with a smile and sent him out of the gate, saying that he is welcome to come back next time.

Knowing this, Hua Zhenxing couldn't help rubbing his brows, lamenting that old man Yang is too good at making the show, and Wuweichang's temper is really good, he asked with a wry smile: "Feilu Baixue from Wucheng Zhiwei Building , how much does it cost per plate?"

The five flavors are long: "28."

Hua Zhenxing: "This is Mr. Yang's fault. His so-called authentic method can't be eaten for 28 yuan. Are you not angry at all?"

Five flavors: "What's so angry about this? The old man didn't eat Bawang's meal, so he told the chef how to make the original recipe of this dish. He is obviously an expert, and there is nothing wrong with what he said.

That was the first time he slapped the table after a meal and asked the chef to come out to reason.Later, he called several times, and every time I went, even if he didn't call, I had to go out to say hello. "

Hua Zhenxing: "It's really hard for you. His old man's taste is not easy to serve."

Wuweichang smiled again: "Isn't that so, dishes like Feilu Baixue are nothing. One time, the old man ordered a dish, and then Zhiweilou had to delete that dish from the menu."

Hua Zhenxing was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Wuweichang explained what happened again.The name of that dish is Dream Bubble. It is a vegetarian dish. It uses several kinds of dried mushrooms to make a soup. When it is served, there is only a shallow layer of soup on the plate, with a colorful bubble floating on it.

This bubble is made of raw egg white, only the size of a walnut. The colorless and transparent film reflects various light and shadow colors in the air. If you use chopsticks well, you can pick up this bubble without breaking it. .

People who are not very good at using chopsticks can also use a spoon to scoop up the bubbles. Once you bite into the mouth, the bubbles will burst open, with a delicious soup aroma.

This dish can be said to be full of color, flavor and taste, but it feels like nothing has been eaten, because it is a bubble made of egg white, which has almost no weight.

This dish looks simple, but the craftsmanship is not simple. The egg white is raw, so the bubbles made are in the shape of a transparent film, which cannot be broken easily, and the monk's spiritual consciousness has to be used to process it.

Old man Yang ordered a plate first, and of course he was not full after eating. No one can get enough of this dish.This time, he didn't order another ten dishes at once like he ordered Feilu Baixue, but ordered another one, and after he finished eating, he ordered another...

No one has calculated how many plates of this "Dream Bubble" are needed to be full?Such a boring thing, but Yang Tehong seemed determined to try it, and ordered 51 dishes in a row.

Is old man Yang finally full? Of course not. How can a mere 51 dishes of Dream Bubbles be enough?Later, the waiter came to him and whispered apologetically, "Mr., I'm really sorry, we have accepted the order."

Zhiweilou is not open 24 hours a day. Let’s talk about lunch. Orders start at [-]:[-] noon and orders are received at [-]:[-] pm. Waiters and chefs also need to rest.

There is a two-hour break in the afternoon, and then orders are placed at [-]:[-] p.m. until receipt of orders at [-]:[-] p.m.After receiving the order, customers can continue to eat, but they can no longer order.

Old man Yang finally put down his chopsticks, instead of calling the chef this time, he called out: "Waiter, call the store manager!"

Yu Cangwu walked over quickly: "Old man, I am the store manager. We have indeed accepted the order, and we will not continue to open until five o'clock in the evening."

Yang Tehong glanced at him up and down: "Are you the store manager? I thought you were just a cleaner!"

Yu Cangwu: "I am the store manager and cleaner."

At this time, Wuweichang didn't call himself, and he still had his apron and chef's hat on, so he asked with a smile, "Old man, what's your opinion this time?"

Yang Tehong: "The dish I just ordered is quite a gimmick. What is it called Dream Bubbles? May I ask if it can be served with wine, rice, or hunger?"

Yu Cangwu and Wuwei didn't answer, but the waiter couldn't help but said: "The essence of this dish lies in its meaning, and the purpose is not to satisfy hunger or drink."

Old man Yang glared at him: "Whether it's me ordering or you ordering, why do I need you to talk about it? Everything is like a dream, like a bubble, like dew like electricity, and it should be viewed in this way. You just want to say this, right?

Then your dish is not right, what about Lu and Dian?Shouldn't the poor layer of soup on the plate be turned into dewdrops, and then put an electrified device in the bubble to make some sparks out?

I'm afraid you don't know, this kind of thing is available in toy stores, and they are made of glass.Do you make such a dish to amuse the guests, or let them eat?

This dish is the most clumsy formalism and symbolism I have ever seen!Such a vulgar deconstruction, what is the meaning, it means you are a big-headed ghost!

You make bubbles with egg whites, do you want to show that the dish you made contains Zen, or do you want the guests to feel that after eating this dish, you can get an epiphany after a few clicks?

If it is said that this is a dish that is satirical and mystical in a realistic way, I can still somewhat agree..." Old man Yang scolded the monks in front of him unceremoniously, and in the end he still did not forget to pay the bill. He walked away with his hands behind his back and his mouth curled up.

That night, Shi Ye, the boss of Zhiweilou, also known as Mei Yeshi, the leader of the Kunlun League, received a call, and he seemed to be scolded by someone.Then, the dish Dream Bubble was deleted from Zhiweilou's menu.

Wu Weichang knew about the recipe change, and he was there when old man Yang said those words.However, Wu Weichang only vaguely heard about the scolding of League Leader Mei. When he introduced Hua Zhenxing, he didn't say it explicitly, but only hinted.

Hua Zhenxing didn't know how to comment after listening to it, so he could only ask: "How many dishes are there in Zhiweilou's menu? Dishes like Dream Bubbles shouldn't be ordered for ordinary customers, right?"

Wuweichang said with a wry smile: "Director Hua guessed right, there are two cookbooks in Zhiweilou, the first cookbook has 72 dishes, anyone can order; the second cookbook has 27 dishes, usually not Available to regular guests.

Mr. Yang came more often, and the waiters were familiar with him. Seeing that he ordered a different dish every time, he also showed him the second cookbook.

The monks will also come to the Zhiweilou for meals, and the Kunlun League will also entertain the experts of various factions in the Zhiweilou. The second cookbook was originally dedicated to them.Of the 99 dishes in total, fifteen are vegan, and there are some in both large and small recipes.

There are many monks in the Kunlun League who are vegetarians, and these dishes are also prepared for them.The Dream Bubble ordered by Yang Lao is a vegetarian dish in the small menu, which is used to entertain Buddhist monks. "

Hua Zhenxing: "As far as I know, the precepts of vegetarianism are also different. Eggs that can't hatch chicks are indeed not considered meat, but some people don't eat them."

Five flavors: "It's just a dream, if you don't eat it, don't eat it."

Hua Zhenxing: "I mean, bubbles can be made with jelly! Zhiweilou can make colorless and transparent fish jelly, and of course it can also make colorless and transparent jelly balls.

Try to make the meatball less dense than the soup, so that it can float on the soup, and then try to make it tasty, so it looks good and delicious, isn't it better?Why make it so fancy, use egg whites to make a film bubble. "

Hearing that Hua Zhenxing was going to discuss cooking, Wuweichang became energetic, and he frowned and thought: "It should be no problem to make colorless and transparent meatballs with jelly, but the visual effect is different, not as colorful as soap bubbles." shadows."

Hua Zhenxing: "Ordinary chefs can't do it, can't the chefs of Zhiweilou not do it? Just find a way!

You can make a fuss about the structure, so that the surface layer of the jelly dumpling is denser than the inside, but the whole is still colorless and transparent, and it can have the effect of light refraction... This may require the use of spiritual power to process. "

Wuwei patted his thigh: "Yes, this method really works!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Don't just serve one on a plate, you can have a few more, can ten be enough? After eating ten jelly dumplings and a few mouthfuls of soup, won't Mr. Yang be full?"

Wuweichang suddenly laughed again: "But in this way, is it crystal balls or dream bubbles? What kind of dream bubbles can you eat with one plate?"

Hua Zhenxing asked back: "Forgive me for talking too much, could it be that the dish you cooked is just a dream come true?"

Five tastes are long: "It's true, that's why this dish was deleted from Zhiweilou's menu."

Hua Zhenxing: "So I'll help you make up another one. It's up to you what to name it. Of course, this is just my suggestion. It doesn't matter if Zhiwei Loucai adopts it or not."

The five tastes are long: "This is also the law of fate! I still have a bit of face, I can decide to add this dish, and I will make it when I go back this time. Director Hua can also try it when he is free.

Let me also tell you one more thing. During this period of time, the cleaning staff in the lobby of Zhiwei Building has changed. It is said that the time is three months.If Mr. Hua wants to enjoy the table-cleaning service of the Kunlun leader himself, he can take advantage of these three months to go to Zhiweilou. If he misses it, he will lose his chance. "

Hua Zhenxing: "What's going on?"

Five flavors: "I don't know the inside story either. According to Leader Mei himself, this is obeying the teacher's order."

After Old Man Yang left, the "store manager" of Zhiwei Building was replaced because Yu Cangwu went to retreat to clean the table.This was originally a post where experts from various factions took turns to sit in the post, but the next one was replaced by the leader of the Kunlun League, Mei Yeshi himself.

The shop managers who sit in the town are not all cleaning the front lobby like Yu Cangwu. They basically stay in the back kitchen or upstairs on weekdays. There are so many junior disciples from various factions, and there is no need for them to do this. live.

The most "hard" job in Zhiwei Building is the cleaning of the lobby, which is different from ordinary restaurants.

Usually the hardest part of the restaurant is the helpers in the back kitchen, but the employees of Zhiwei Building are all monks, as long as they are not in front of ordinary guests, they can clean the dishes with a wave of magic.

Yu Cangwu voluntarily did the cleaning in the lobby, and then Mei Yeshi followed his master's order to do this job too, probably because his master scolded him.But this is just Hua Zhenxing's guess, and it's not good to talk nonsense.

Hua Zhenxing: "Is anyone going to order food?"

Five tastes grow: "Of course there are people, every day, the business of Zhiweilou is very good."

Hua Zhenxing: "I mean monk Kunlun."

The five flavors are long: "That's not true."

Hua Zhenxing smiled: "Then I can't go either!"

If it is an ordinary customer who does not know the inside story, it will be fine. If the Kunlun monk who knows the inside story insists on ordering food in the lobby of Zhiwei Building, and asks Master Mei to clean the table for himself, then he is really finding fault.

Hua Zhenxing chatted with Wuweichang very well, and he learned through Wuweichang that in fact, all the staff of Zhiweilou have no ill feeling towards Old Man Yang, but regard his arrival as a daily pleasure.

For a while, old man Yang didn't go to Zhiweilou for dinner, and many people still felt a little lost.

Since the topic cannot avoid old man Yang, Hua Zhenxing also mentioned that old man Yang has been reading recipes as comic books to himself since he was a child, making the five flavors amused, laughing and screaming repeatedly!

Hua Zhenxing mentioned Chunrong Pill again, which amazed Wu Weichang. He was very interested in it, and discussed with Hua Zhenxing about the possibility of Xuanyuan Sect and Kunlun League's cooperation with Chunrong Pill Center in the future.

Before parting, Hua Zhenxing finally couldn't help asking: "Master Taoist, may I ask if your common name is Fan?"

The five flavors are long: "Who did you hear this from, did you double become that girl?"

Hua Zhenxing: "No, that's just my guess."

The five tastes are long: "Which secret method are you practicing, can you guess this?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Because I know a man named Fan Dake, is he a relative of your family?"

He introduced Van Dyke with his spiritual thoughts. Huanxiang Industry has Van Dyke's archives, and also recorded his ancestral home in the East and the names of his parents.

Wu Weiwei was surprised when he grew up. Van Dyke was really his distant cousin, but he had never met him before, and he heard that he had gone abroad a long time ago.

This is considered to be a relative, and Hua Zhenxing took advantage of the opportunity to invite Wu Weichang to go to Jili Kingdom for inspection and guidance when he has time, and to test and teach the cultivation of the younger generation of the family.

Wuwei smiled and nodded in agreement.

With Yu Cangwu and Wu Weichang's friendly "demonstration", in the following days, Hua Zhenxing has become a social butterfly in the Kunlun practice circle, and has to catch up with dinner every day, and often there is more than one meal.

Chapter 439 A little scary

The busiest and most excited person during this period was Director Niu of Chunhua University. He had to discuss with Hua Zhenxing to draw up a meal schedule in advance.

Fortunately, campus life is very regular, and the weekly meal schedule can be set according to the class schedule.Huazhenxing has a total of ten meals a week at Chunguang Banquet, including six dinners and four lunches.

Then Director Niu has to coordinate with all parties to arrange who will have dinner with President Hua on which day, whether it is lunch or dinner?It is of course necessary to let Director Niu arrange it, because Hua Zhenxing doesn't know these people at all.

This is not a formal visit to the mountain, and Hua Zhenxing is not qualified to let experts from various factions come to visit him, it's just a relationship, let's meet for dinner.After the news about Yangyuan Valley spread, everyone was very curious.

On the other hand, Hua Zhenxing doesn't have to offend anyone at all, and doesn't have to worry about who he sees first and who he sees later, who he sees and who he doesn't see.As long as he sits down and has a meal with the other party, he has formed a good relationship.

Director Niu has taken care of things that might offend others. Hua Zhenxing owes Niu Yiping a big favor this time!

The fact that Yang Tehong enlightened Yu Cangwu to practice in Zhiweilou has been shaken off by Yu Cangwu himself. Everyone knows that Hua Zhenxing not only has a great cultivation at a young age, but also has such a peerless master behind him .

Mr. Feng said that the old man Yang acted in person, which was tantamount to helping Hua Zhenxing cheat.

Now Hua Zhenxing can know in advance every time, who will show up for the next meal?In fact, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not, anyway, he didn't know him before, but Niu Yiping has to explain all kinds of background clearly.

The table in the lobby of the Spring Banquet is specially reserved for Hua Zhenxing every day, and there is a "reserved" sign on it, even if Hua Zhenxing does not go to any meal, the sign will be reserved for him.

This wasn't what Hua Zhenxing requested, but Xiao Yao specially released it for him.In fact, the lobby of the Spring Banquet does not accept reservations, and Xiao Yao, a waiter, can't do this kind of thing. This is the hotel's decision.

Hua Zhenxing, a special guest, comes every day and treats guests every day. He only orders one dish, and the guests will eat the same dish as him.Even the hotel manager finds it very interesting, so why not save face?

What's more, the lobby on the first floor of the Spring Banquet is usually not full at all, but since Huazhenxing came, the attendance rate has often reached [-] to [-]%.

Hua Zhenxing has already memorized the dishes in this restaurant. Excluding all kinds of staple foods, including appetizers and cold dishes, there are only 77 dishes.

Huazhenxing started to eat it from NO.15 in November. According to the current rhythm, it happened to be eaten until the school's winter vacation. He couldn't help but realize another problem-the food is not enough!

It's not that ordering only one dish for each meal is not enough, but that the quantity on the menu is not enough. Of course, the Kunlun practice world is far more than the 77 sects. If a family sends a representative for each meal, obviously many people will not be able to take the turn.

It's not Hua Zhenxing who is in trouble, but Niu Yiping.More than a dozen well-recognized sects are easy to deal with, and they must all be ranked, so what about the rest, who will be ranked?

There are four sects that don't need to be arranged, that is, Zhengyi Sect, Sanmeng Sect, Fangwai Sect, and Fanglongguan.

Hua Zhenxing's response was very simple. He did not make things difficult for Director Niu, but entrusted Director Niu with a favor, which was to distribute promotional materials privately.

Hua Zhenxing is an ordinary foreign student. Because of his unique eating habits, everyone can always sit down and have a chat with him, but if he rushes up to harass him, it is not the way of a monk.

Although "Director Hua" is studying in Chunhua, Yangyuangu is still in Jiliguo. There are people in charge of all matters in Jiliguo. scale.

Hua Zhenxing was not at home, and old man Yang also came to Dongguo, but there were Ke Fuzi and Uncle Mo sitting in the house, and Xiao Guang, Sima Zhi, Luo Fugen and others were in charge of the overall situation, enough to receive guests from all sides.

What Niu Yiping distributed was the promotional material provided by Wang Fengshou, which not only focused on Yangyuan Valley, but also introduced the latest situation and development plan of Jili Kingdom, especially the construction and characteristics of the agricultural reclamation area.

Wang Fengshou was entrusted by Hua Zhenxing and the government of Jili Kingdom, and kindly invited monks from various factions to visit Jili Kingdom for guidance.

Especially those casual cultivators in Jianghu, I'm afraid they won't be able to attend Huazhenhang's dinner this time, but they can visit the agricultural reclamation area, Bikong Island and even Yangyuan Valley.If you want to inherit the technique of nourishing Yuanshu, you can still find Sima Zhi, which is much more convenient.

The so-called convenience of the monks may not be the same as that of ordinary people, even if it is thousands of miles away, there is no problem, not to mention the charter flight service.

The current policy of Jiliguo is that citizens holding Dongguo passports are exempted from visas, and they only need to get a stamp when they enter the customs. Even the epidemic prevention and control measures are fully adopted in the country. Regional test reports.

It's the same as going from one city in Dongguo to another, except that the flight time will be longer.

This is true for flying from Dongguo to Jiliguo, but it is more troublesome to fly from Jiliguo to Dongguo. According to the epidemic prevention and control regulations in Dongguo, after returning to China, one must be quarantined for three weeks, and then one week of home observation.

For ordinary people, it takes a month, but for many monks, they don't care, it's just a retreat.

After Wuwei Chang and Hua Zhenxing ate that meal, they went back to Wucheng Zhiweilou to add a new dish, which was the crystal dumpling proposed by Hua Zhenxing, and then led the team to Jiliguo.

Wuweichang organized a group to go, because many people heard the news and came to visit Yangyuan Valley together with Wuweichang. The embassy of Jiliguo also sent a commissioner to accompany it.

The news was of course released by Wang Fengshou, and the special plane was also arranged by Huanxiang Industry. More than 300 people were pulled over in one plane.

Think of it as a trip to a foreign country, Huanxiang Industry is responsible for the reception throughout the process, why not do it?

At the same time, Hua Zhenxing's dinner was still going on. He asked Niu Yiping in advance that day, and he specially ordered a dish, three meals of king crab, not because the dish was expensive enough, but because the portion was sufficient.

Grilled crab sticks with garlic, baked crab meat with salted duck egg yolk, and fried rice with crab roe filled with a large crab shell are enough for several people to eat.
