Chapter 17 Fresh and delicious(1/2)
I saw Gu Yuan standing on an inverted back bamboo pole, cupping his fists and saluting.
There were boos below.
How can anyone call themselves a resentful person?
No one believes it at all.
"Return to Sixth Brother, everyone present is an adult, it's okay for you to call me Brother!"
"I think you are not the wronged, you are better than anyone else."
Gu Yuan was speechless. Is it so difficult to honestly sign up for a name these days?
What about trust between people?
I invited you to eat matsutake, but none of you helped me, and you even made trouble.
It’s a shame that I’m so kind to you.
Not only the customers buying wild mushrooms, but also the officials standing nearby grinned and started making fun of them.
However, Mitsui Yoshihiko lowered his voice and said to Xie Xiangxi.
"Yours, you must use the shortest possible time to find out this person's real name, origin, social relations, and most importantly, the place where the matsutake mushrooms are produced!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Mitsui, if you don't tell me, I will find out the eighteenth generation of this boy's ancestors, and let him know who has the final say on the price of matsutake in the Mizuki Trading Market!"
Mitsui Yoshihiko can also see Xie Xiangxi's attitude of hating Gu Yuan.
He nodded with satisfaction.
I discussed it with a few Fuso people around me.
So I asked Xie Xiangxi to help him prepare the tableware and dipping sauce for matsutake assassination.
I never expected that the guy who went back to make chicken soup and prepare the stove would come so quickly.
Riding an electric tricycle, pulling two stoves, a slate that looks like a frying pan, and a big pot of chicken soup came.
Not only did I bring ceramic knives, I also brought a chopping board for cutting vegetables.
The Mizuki Wild Mushroom Trading Market is bustling with people. It has not been so lively in a year.
Those who help carry the stove carry the stove, and those who carry the pot carry the pot.
The visiting boss came over with a steaming handkerchief.
"Everyone is an expert. Matsutake cannot be washed, and the smell will not be the same when it is touched with water. It can only be wiped. I steamed the towels in the restaurant first. I came late and delayed everyone's time!"
How long has it been and the guy has everything in order, but this guy is still shouting that he is late.
You are so good at pretending.
Gu Yuan was very sure that his personality was very similar to his own.
Sure enough, after carefully wiping the largest matsutake clean.
This guy squeezed Gu Yuan away from the chopping board.
"You are selling mushrooms, you are admirable and capable, but I am the one who cuts the matsutake mushrooms!"
Gu Yuan was a little stupid when he picked up a ceramic knife for the first time.
Amid everyone's expectant looks and laughter, he obediently handed over the knife and stood aside.
I have to say that the guy who brought the chicken soup and kitchen utensils was very professional. When he went out, he was still dressed in casual clothes. When he came back, he was dressed in a white chef's uniform and even wore a hat.
The action of cutting matsutake is equally professional.
When you pick up the knife and put it down, the 3mm slice is very standard, thin and even.
At first glance, he looks like an old man who has been practicing hard for many years.
The flowing movements are simply art.
Wu San, the stall owner, introduced to Gu Yuan and Xiao Feng in a low voice that he was Boss Liu of the nearby Country Style Restaurant.
"Brother Gu, can my craftsmanship live up to your superb matsutake?"
Boss Liu quickly finished cutting a matsutake, wiped his hands with a towel, and smiled to show off to Gu Yuan.
"I am an alternative, one of the few matsutake enthusiasts in the south of the world. I like to eat matsutake, but it is expensive, so I can only buy some cheap matsutake. Today, Brother Gu's best of the best matsutake, Mr. Liu has not even seen it.
Let alone eat it! The overflowing fragrance alone is definitely not what ordinary matsutake has. I almost couldn't hold back my saliva as I cut it."
Not only Gu Yuan, but also many people present gave Boss Liu a thumbs up.
Even Mitsui Yoshihiko, who claims to be an expert in matsutake eating, also gave a thumbs up and nodded frequently.
"Just cut the one and throw it into the soup pot to cook the soup. This one is half fried and half raw!"
Boss Liu, who was about to wash his hands, felt a little stupid when he saw Gu Yuan handing over another one.
Fortunately, he responded quickly.
If you don’t feel sorry for someone else’s treat, it doesn’t matter if you do some work yourself.
If you have one more, you can eat more.
I took the matsutake decisively, removed the impurities from the roots, and wiped it clean with a towel and a knife.
Start cutting again.
After cutting it, I commanded the cook in the store to set up a frying pan-style slate to fry the matsutake mushrooms, while I took out the ingredients from the car and mixed the sashimi dipping sauce.
He's done it all and put the sashimi on the plate.
Xie Xiangxi, who was sent by Mitsui Yoshihiko to make the dipping sauce, has not returned yet.
Gu Yuan smiled and reached out to Mitsui Yoshihiko and handed out a pair of disposable chopsticks.
"If you don't mind, Mr. Mitsui can be the first to taste it!"
Mitsui Yoshihiko was very happy to feel Gu Yuan's sincerity. He followed those markets and even though the government officials were eager to give it a try, they held back.
However, Mitsui thanked him politely, took the chopsticks, and reached for the matsutake.
You can clearly hear the sound of many people swallowing saliva.
This matsutake is so delicious!
But Zheng Dong, who was standing in the crowd, secretly pulled the corner of Han Delong's clothes.
Said in a low enough voice that the two of them could hear.
"Brother Gu has put so much effort into digging such a big hole for the Fuso people. I feel that today, at least 50,000 matsutake mushrooms will be sold!"
He stretched out his palm in an exaggerated manner and spread his five fingers.
Han Delong nodded quickly.
"No, all the matsutake mushrooms served as a treat will be counted on the Fuso people's heads. I don't like the raw sashimi. I'll eat more of it when it's cooked later!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they couldn't help laughing.
Gu Yuan didn't pay attention to the little moves of these two guys.
He is staring at Mitsui.
But Mitsui Yoshihiko's expression after tasting Boss Liu's sauce was really strange.
It’s just like the feeling of relief when you hold your urine for a long time and suddenly rush to the toilet to drain the water.
How could it be this expression?
Everyone was waiting for Mitsui's comment. Unexpectedly, this guy didn't care about everyone's eyes. He waved his chopsticks again, picked up a piece of matsutake, put it in the dipping sauce, and then quickly put it into his mouth again.
Although his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, his movements of closing his mouth and chewing were not slow at all.
After swallowing, it became even more strange. He opened his mouth and spoke hurriedly to the people around him in Fuso language.
The translator from the Linxia Import and Export Company next to him ran towards their company's store as fast as he could.
The two RB people beside him didn't seem to know the Chinese language. They bowed and spoke in Fusang dialect and stretched out their hands.
Gu Yuan didn't even understand what it meant.
But the translator from the Forestry Department understood it.
Take the initiative to come closer.
"Little brother, they want chopsticks!"
Gu Yuan didn't mind that they ate first, and he didn't mind that Mitsui ignored the two Fuso people and extended his chopsticks to the chopped matsutake.
Pass the chopsticks to the two of them.
Roared again.
"If you like to eat sashimi, sign up. Ten people, two slices each. After eating the sashimi, don't grab the chicken soup or the fried one? If you really want to make all the old and young men full, I will cut all the matsutake here.
It’s not enough, it’s a small business, everyone understands!”
This expensive tasting not only attracted the attention of everyone in the market, but also many people outside the market came to watch the fun.
