‘Longmen Inn! Damn, can’t Chef Ren have a more reliable name?’ Standing outside Chef Ren’s tavern, Lin Heng looked at the four shining golden characters and was speechless.
The Longmen Inn is an inn opened by the chef himself. The business of this inn is not good, but it is very profitable. Let’s put it this way, although the Longmen Inn is a tavern on the surface, in fact it is the chef who creates something new every time.
It’s just a place where people can taste the dishes. He invites chefs from other restaurants, lets them taste his dishes, and then sells them the cooking methods.
By this method, the chef made a lot of money, but this guy obviously couldn't keep the money, so he bought the ingredients and continued to research new dishes.
Walking into the inn, Lin Heng found that there were many people here today, but looking at the clothes of these people, they were not tavern chefs, but people from the world.
"Huh? He's here too?" Suddenly, Lin Heng's expression condensed and he said in surprise.
Li Mochou looked at it curiously and said, "What? Did you see someone you know?"
Lin Heng nodded, pulled Li Mochou to an old man with gray hair, and said respectfully: "Qi Gong, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Boy Lin..." Seeing that it was Lin Heng, Hong Qigong laughed twice, immediately pulled him to sit down, and said, "Boy Lin, the food made by the chef is very delicious, how can I not come?
By the way, Mr. Lin, this is..." Hong Qigong looked at Li Mochou and Lin Heng being intimate, with an ambiguous look on his face.
Lin Heng gave a bitter smile and said: "Qigong, this is my wife, Li Mochou. Mochou, this is Hong Qigong, the former leader of the Beggar Clan, the nine-fingered god beggar!"
"Li Mochou has met Qi Gong!" Li Mochou naturally knew Hong Qi Gong's name, and immediately stood up to greet him. Qi Gong laughed and immediately asked her to sit down and said: "Little girl, don't be polite. Good luck to you, Lin.
This little girl is no worse than Guo Jing’s Rong’er.”
Lin Heng smiled and immediately changed the subject: "Qi Gong, do you also know the chef?"
"I've only heard of his name, but I've never interacted with him. Boy, I've heard that this cook is both good and evil. Didn't you come here just to make friends with him?"
"What did Qi Gong say? I met Chef Ren a few years ago. Although he is a weird person, he is still a good person. It's just that this guy is extremely obsessed with cooking, so he seems a bit weird to others."
Lin Heng shook his head and explained. "Qi Gong, when I met Chef Ren, I tasted a dish he cooked. The dish had three flavors, which was unprecedented. This time Chef Ren posted a post himself,
They must have invented more delicious dishes. You old man can come here, but you have to take them orally."
"Does one dish really have three flavors?" Hong Qigong couldn't believe it. How could one dish have three flavors? He, Hong Qigong, can be said to have eaten it all over the world, but he has never eaten such a weird dish.
, he has never heard of it.
"Of course it's true. How can I lie about such a thing? But that dish is very troublesome to make, otherwise Hangzhou would already have it. Now it seems that ordinary chefs can't learn it." Lin Heng
He shook his head with some pity. Chef Ren's cooking skills are truly unprecedented, but it's a pity that his cooking skills require hard work, which makes it impossible for ordinary chefs to learn from them, otherwise they can be passed down.
While the two were talking, everyone in the hall was shocked. They looked up and saw that the cook had come out at some point. With a smile on his face, he said to everyone: "Welcome, friends, to Longmen."
Inn, my chef is feeling very proud today. I won’t say anything more, but I’ll just let everyone start their appetizers!” As he said that, the chef clapped his hands, and immediately behind him there were several people carrying an appetizer.
Another large wooden tray came out. On the wooden tray were some exquisite side dishes. The chef pointed at these side dishes and explained: "Everyone, these are some side dishes I have researched in the past few years to go with wine. You can try them first."
Once you taste it, when I make the main course, everyone can eat it with open stomachs."
"Okay!" Everyone clapped their hands happily. Needless to say, the chef's cooking skills are commendable even if they are just side dishes to go with wine, so they are not unhappy at all, but in high spirits.
Look at those exquisite side dishes.
Soon, with the busy work of several people, three side dishes were placed on each table. Lin Heng and Hong Qigong looked at these three small plates of exquisite side dishes, stretched out their chopsticks, added a piece, and put it into their mouths.
"This is beef, how come it tastes like this?" Hong Qigong looked surprised. He added another piece and put it in his mouth. While eating, he said: "This beef is rotten and crispy. It's really good, but it tastes spicy.
How did you get it? The old beggar ate so many things that he can't even think of it."
"Haha..." Lin Heng laughed and said: "Qi Gong, if I guessed correctly, this beef must have been marinated in chili peppers, otherwise it wouldn't taste like this."
"chili?"
"Well, it's chili pepper. Chili pepper grows in Sichuan, around the Double Ninth Festival. It's a very spicy food. It can be chopped and put into food to increase the taste of the dishes." Lin Heng laughed to himself as he said this.
Lin Heng was the one who told Chef Lin about the chili. It seems that he had been there personally, otherwise there wouldn’t be this spicy beef dish.
A plate of spicy beef, a plate of fungus, and a plate of golden needles, these are the three side dishes of Chef Ren. Lin Heng had told him about these three things, but he only said them roughly, while Chef Ren had
It took a lot of effort to make it, and it was very delicious. At least according to Lin Heng's opinion, he had never eaten such delicious dishes in modern times.
"Good stuff, really good stuff..."
“I never imagined that a chef could be so skillful and make such a simple dish so delicious!”
"Yes, he is worthy of being a human chef. His cooking skills are truly unparalleled in the world!"
There were voices of praise all around, but it was a pity that the cook couldn't hear it, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't care. The only thing this guy cares about is probably others saying that his cooking is not good. Of course, if you
If you come up with enough reasons, it won't be a big deal.
About half an hour later, the cook came back. His face was red and there was sweat on his forehead. He seemed very tired, but his eyes were full of energy. He said to everyone: "Everyone, my treasure has been prepared. This is
It took me four years to prepare a dish. I am confident that in front of this dish, any other dishes are nothing. Please take a look!"
As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing a boat-shaped porcelain plate being held behind him.
"Wow...what is this? A rainbow?"
"It's incredible. Is this a dish? This is simply a work of art!"
Everyone was chattering and talking, and everyone showed shocked expressions. Lin Heng and Hong Qigong were no exception. Look at the dish. It is placed on a large boat-shaped plate. At a glance, you can see the look in it, like a line.
Like a rainbow hanging in the sky.
"This is my newly developed dish, the colorful rainbow!"
The chef proudly announced to everyone, and then he asked the boys to bring bowls one by one, and asked them to serve everyone a scoop of the rainbow.
At first, no one noticed that the seven-color rainbow that the cook had lifted into the sky had no fragrance. However, when they dug up the rainbow above, a rich fragrance floated out.
This fragrance is very unique, and people will relax unconsciously after smelling it, just like the Buddhist incense in the temple.
"Good stuff, really good stuff..." Hong Qigong sat at the table and burst out laughing, with an eager expression on his face. When the boy came to him with his bowl of seven-color rainbow, he couldn't help but laugh.
Hesitantly, he reached out and grabbed it, then took a quick bite.
"It's delicious, it's delicious. There are three flavors of sweet and spicy in one bite. It's incredible!" As he said that, Qi Gong took another bite. This time he was even more shocked because the question he asked this time was different from before.
It has a sweet and sour taste.
Opposite him, Lin Heng listened to his mumbling and took a few bites out of curiosity. This bite almost made him bite off his tongue. It was so delicious, and the taste of different colored dishes was also different, each time.
There are three flavors in one, which is incredible.
"Chef, do you have any more? Hurry up and give me another bowl!" Hong Qigong finished the rainbow in the bowl in two or two, and then shouted loudly. When the others saw it, they immediately followed suit.
Get up. They have never tasted such delicious dishes. No wonder the chef dares to boast.
"Haha..." The chef smiled happily. He pressed his hands and said to everyone: "Dear friends, it took me four years to prepare this dish. Some of the ingredients are difficult to find.
, if you can find these ingredients, I don’t care how many times I cook them..."
"What kind of ingredients are they? Tell me quickly. We will definitely find them for you..." Everyone immediately started to make a fuss. Seeing this person, the cook had to press his hands again to keep everyone quiet. He continued: "These flavors are not ordinary.
The ingredients are not ingredients, but medicinal materials. In addition to the dishes, my rainbow plate also uses seven kinds of seasonings, seven kinds of medicinal materials, seven kinds of animal meat, a total of 28 kinds of ingredients. Everything else is easy to say,
It's just that these seven medicinal materials are not easy to find..."
Then, the chef talked about seven kinds of medicinal materials. These seven medicinal materials are not very rare medicinal materials, namely ginseng, poria, snake gallbladder, deer antler, flower ear, Ganoderma lucidum and lotus root. However, his requirements for these medicinal materials
They are all over 300 years old. Damn it, why don’t you grab those over 300 years old!
When everyone heard this, they cursed in their hearts. If they had these medicinal materials, they would not use them to cook. They would have taken them to increase their power.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the chef felt a little disappointed. After he made the seven-color rainbow, he was afraid that he would not be able to continue because he had no medicinal ingredients, so he came up with this method to let everyone taste it, but now it seems that everyone will not be willing
Yes.
Shaking his head, the human cook walked back a little tiredly. Seeing this, everyone immediately dispersed in small groups, leaving only a few dozen people. Except for three of these people, they were all human cooks.
friends, and the three extra people are naturally Lin Heng, Li Mochou, and Hong Qigong.
