Originally, Zhao Youqian thought that with Shang Xiu's character who loves food so much, he would definitely ask for a braised meal, but he didn't expect that she would refuse it outright.
"I want to keep my taste buds intact to try the two dishes prepared by the chef and see what the difference is."
Listening to Shang Xiu's words, Zhao Youqian was also a little speechless. He learned from Tony and the others that after trying out a new dish today, the store manager wanted to try out the difference between the two dishes. For this reason, he came to Zhutian Restaurant for the first time. Shang Xiu decided to show off his skills as a gourmet and help the store manager find faults.
But she didn't see Tony Stark's evil smile when she showed this intention.
Just because a playboy has decided to cultivate his moral character does not mean that he will not do bad things.
Did he know that the shock of tasting Zhao Youqian's full-scale cooking without any preparation would definitely be unforgettable for this beauty from the Eastern world.
Zhao Youqian also noticed this and gave him a vague warning look.
However, he did not refuse directly. Since the braised vegetables that had been prepared in advance could not be consulted by the determined Shang Xiu, Zhao Youqian did not force it.
Only Locke Li, who was still confused, looked at the people present and felt that there was some py transaction that he didn't know about.
As the only sound left in the tavern was the sound of Zhao Youqian cleaning the stove, the three people who had been having some exchanges fell silent.
Tony began to look over the data brought by Rock Li again. Shang Xiu thought about what kind of protection this place could bring to her ranch, while Rock Li started to do micro-exercises without doing anything.
Until the oven beeps again.
This weird situation was broken!
After observation, Shang Xiu has realized that this place is indeed significantly different from the era she was in. The various lights, even tableware, chopsticks, and even kitchen utensils are obviously very different.
Especially on the kitchen utensils, not only were there various ovens and other things that she could not recognize, but even the stoves, pots, and even kitchen knives were definitely not products of their era.
Just judging by the naked eye, the iron ore used to make these things is better than the swords forged by many famous craftsmen. There is no need to doubt Shang Xiu's vision. Although she is just a horse rancher, these miscellaneous students come from an absolute Learned from the authority of.
This is why she was able to quickly accept that she was in another world, not an illusion or a scam.
There are some things that cannot be constructed without real contact with them, and the industrial atmosphere that far exceeds the background of the known era cannot fool anyone at all.
It's just that at this time, what Shang Xiu really cares about is not these things, but...
"Is it done?"
Shang Xiu doesn't have any conservative ideas. In this place where everyone only gets together for food, the ladylike demeanor of everyone is truly laughable.
She stood up quickly and came to the kitchen door more actively than Tony Stark thought. She watched Zhao Youqian take out the first mud ball from the oven.
Speaking of begging for chickens, the Tang Dynasty also had a similar practice, but it was not as careful and advanced as Zhao Youqian did.
And if Zhao Youqian of the Tang Dynasty remembers correctly, because iron smelting technology has not yet been developed, there are not even iron pots for cooking. The dishes there seem to be mainly steamed, baked, fried, and there is no frying process.
'Perhaps we can let Shang Xiu try stir-fry next time?'
After such a thought flashed through his mind, Zhao Youqian's hand picked up the wooden hammer and smashed the dried yellow mud on the outside.
As his hands continued to break open the mud balls wrapped in the chicken, a rich aroma of Huadiao wine mixed with chicken fat and lotus leaves continued to float out.
Let Shang Xiu's delicate nose constantly feel the temptation from delicious food.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
Zhao Youqian was amused when he saw Shang Xiu's anxious expression like a child. He kept moving his hands to peel off the beggar's chicken, while verbally comforting the beautiful owner who seemed to be really greedy.
But the more he behaved like this, the more Shang Xiu smelled the smell of this traditional beggar's chicken, the more his appetite surged.
So much so that there were fine beads of sweat on her bronzed skin that she had just bathed in.
Fortunately, after peeling off the yellow mud, the remaining steps were simple for Zhao Youqian. A dust-avoiding talisman fell from the sky and dispersed the few mud on the lotus leaves outside.
A whole lotus leaf was not cut, but placed on a plate, and came to the table with a glass of Huadiao wine.
"Again, pouring wine to increase the flavor? This shouldn't be included in the original recipe, right?"
Tony Stark knew the background of the world where Hong Qigong lived, and they did not have such a luxurious way of drinking wine.
"Of course I added this myself, but the main flavor is still based on the recipe..."
Zhao Youqian laughed and asked Shang Xiu, who looked eager, to sit down first, and then poured Huadiao wine on the lotus leaf. A spark struck out and landed on the lotus leaf, immediately igniting the alcohol and giving off a strong smell of rice wine. Let several people present get drunk before drinking.
Before the alcohol had burned out, Zhao Youqian had already cut open the lotus leaf with one hand, revealing the yellow-brown beggar chicken inside. At this moment, a faint golden light radiated from the chicken's body.
The firelight mixed with the alcohol shocked Shang Xiu's eyes. He didn't know if it was his own imagination or if the real food was actually glowing!
But when she looked carefully, she noticed something different. It was as if the chicken was coated with a thin layer of glass, and it was constantly flowing with crystal light. A strange fragrance seemed to rush into her nasal cavity one after another. Taking over her sense of smell.
"It's glowing? Is this some magic?"
Shang Xiu looked at Zhao Youqian with confusion and shock.
"It's just a manifestation of fully activating the vitality in the ingredients..."
Zhao Youqian will explain the principle of luminescence to new guests every time.
"It's a very common sight where we live."
While talking, Zhao Youqian also brought a table knife this time. It has to be said that the tenderness of the three-yellow chicken is also due to the proper roasting time. There is no need to cut with a table knife. The chicken has been divided as soon as he pressed it.
The juices constantly flowing from the chicken were also revealed in front of the three of them.
Knowing that they all just want to eat first, Zhao Youqian also gave Tony and the others a piece of chicken wings, then cut off a chicken leg and gave it to Shang Xiu, and then poured the layer of sauce under the beggar's chicken on the three. on the chicken plate.
At this time, they can be sure that the taste of this traditional beggar's chicken that leads everything is the bottle of Huadiao wine that often appears!
