Chapter 62 Chu Fusheng is like a dream, how much joy is there!
Looking at the four glasses of sparkling wine on the table, not only Jiang Ergou was dumbfounded, but Su Ruyu and Prince Chu Wushuang also looked in amazement.
Unlike Jiang Ergou and Su Ruyu, this was not the first time they came to the third prince's residence, but they had never seen such a good show before.
"Hahaha, speaking of the origin of this set of cups, it's not simple. I got them from a senior Jianghu person by half-cheating and half-buying them when I left Beijing last time. In addition to luminous cups, there are also colored glass cups.
, copper horn cups, jade cups, silver cups, etc., a total of twelve kinds of cups."
Having said this, Chu Fusheng opened the box that he regarded as a treasure, letting the full picture inside the box be displayed in front of Chu Wushuang and the others.
Inside are a variety of colorful wine glasses of different sizes, but they are arranged very neatly in this box, without any feeling of clutter.
"The old man I met at the beginning called himself Jiu Xianer, and said he was the best drinker in the world. He also said that there was no wine in the world that he had not drunk!"
Having said this, Chu Fusheng's lips showed a hint of a smirk.
"At that time, I happened to have several jars of imperial wine with me, so I made a bet with the old man that he had never drunk the kind of wine I had in my hand! The bet was these jars of imperial wine of mine and his set of wine glasses.
."
"Needless to say, the final result is that even if the old man really traveled all over the world and tasted all the fine wines in the world, he would never have tasted the royal wine of my Chu family! Later, the old man wanted to be with me.
I was cheating and refused to take out his set of wine glasses, so I used the jars of royal wine in my hand as a price, so the old man reluctantly exchanged with me, and kept saying that only famous wines were not allowed.
These wine glasses, please don’t waste these extremely expensive glasses!”
As Chu Fusheng spoke, he reached out and touched the wine glasses.
"Actually, I took advantage of the bet with that senior Jiuxian. If I hadn't had those jars of wine that belonged to my Chu family, I really wouldn't have been able to beat him! Moreover, when it comes to his drinking
He is truly the best wine tasting person I have ever seen! No exception!"
His fingers finally landed on a red cup with a flame-like appearance.
"My Chu family came from the martial arts world, so the taste of my Chu family's royal wine is naturally extremely spicy."
Chu Fusheng picked up the red wine glass and played with it.
"The Goblet of Fire! I heard the senior said that it is made of volcanic mud that has been burning in the volcano for hundreds of thousands of years and special materials! Pour the wine into it, and the wine will swell like boiling, but it just doesn't happen
It's not hot when you put it in your mouth, it's just gentle and magical!"
Chu Fusheng rotated the fire cup in his hand.
"This wine glass is most suitable for drinking the royal wine of my Chu family! If you put it in the ice cellar for a few hours before using it, the wine poured into this glass will let you experience what ice and fire are.
It feels like a heavy heaven. I am going to find a time to take this cup to the palace and let my father try it!"
Chu Fusheng smiled knowingly when he said the last sentence, but then showed a look of regret.
"It's a pity that the senior wine master said that this cup will only have that effect after the first nine uses. It has been used three times in his hand, and when he handed it to me, he drank wine with that jar.
I used it once again, so now there are only five opportunities left, so I can’t give you a taste, but it doesn’t matter, the wine after cooling is cold in the mouth, and it is also a worldly wine, so you are not at a loss!”
After he finished speaking all these words, he broke away from his own world, but what greeted him was three pairs of twinkling eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Chu Fusheng was startled by them and had goosebumps all over his body. It wasn't that Ergou and the others didn't want to interrupt before, it was that they were completely speechless!
"Just drink, why are you so particular about drinking?"
Facing the ordinary-dressed Jiang Ergou, Chu Fusheng did not treat him as a servant. He knew that no matter where Chu Wushuang and Su Ruyu were going,
They don't know how to bring their servants with them, so this young man in ordinary clothes who can walk with them is definitely not simple!
"Of course! I only talked about this cup of fire. In fact, each cup has its corresponding two or three types of wine that are most suitable for it. For example, the copper horn cup is the most suitable for the Taiqing Lubai that literati like to drink.
And the sapphire cup is most suitable for the fifty-year-old Huadiao wine. The other ones are too many and too fine, so I won’t come with you one by one."
Ergou swallowed to relieve his embarrassment.
"No more... no more! Drink, drink!"
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in picking up a luminous cup and drank the wine in one gulp.
"My dear, is there really such a fine wine in this world?"
Ergou's expression looked extremely intoxicated, which made Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang stunned.
In fact, Ergou didn't drink much. When he lived in the mountain stream, he didn't have the conditions. When he entered the world later, he didn't have any money in his pocket.
But after arriving in the capital, under the leadership of Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang, what kind of wine has he not tasted in the capital? Among them, the texture, color, and taste are the best, and only the oldest wine in Manxianglou
Fenjiu! But even if it is compared with the wine in this luminous cup, it is still several times worse!
Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang were surprised when they saw Er Gou's expression, and then they also picked up the cups and drank the wine.
The amber wine flowed down their throats and into their stomachs. The luminous cup had probably been refrigerated by Chu Fusheng. With this entrance, all the heat that Chu Wushuang and the three of them had brought into the attic was dissipated.
"I really don't know how to enjoy it."
Chu Fusheng looked at the three people who drank the wine in one gulp with disgust in his eyes. Then he elegantly picked up his cup, took a sip, and then put the cup back to its original place and quietly savored it.
.Ignore the three people scrambling to grab the jug of wine.
…
The battle didn't end until Chu Wushuang and the others drank all the jug of wine.
"What, third brother, we are actually here..."
Before Chu Wushuang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Fusheng waving his hand.
"I know, I know! What else can you do here besides eating? When you first came in, I told the kitchen to go down and prepare. It should be almost ready by now, just wait a minute."
Chu Fusheng probably felt that with so many people there, he would be a little embarrassed to let those maids serve him, so he waved them away. But on the way down, there happened to be a maid.
The people passed by them and came to Chu Fusheng's side.
"Third Prince, everything is ready."
"Then bring it to the table. If you meet a brother who loves to eat, there's nothing I can do about it!"
Chu Fusheng's tone of voice was very soft, but he was deliberately a little helpless, teasing his brother the prince.
"yes."
The servant with a respectful tone bowed his head and retreated.
"Third brother, I don't like hearing what you are saying. You often go out of Beijing to travel around the world, and I don't see you a few times throughout the year. Why don't I seize the opportunity to come and see you!"
Chu Wushuang's expression was pretending to be serious, and he was trying to conceal his true purpose of coming here.
"Brother, are you feeling guilty when you say this?"
Chu Fusheng stood up and touched his chest, looking at his eldest brother who had vowed to do so.
"Hahaha! I know your kid is smart and can't deceive you. He's cheating on you and looking at you. It's half and half. This time he really means the truth."
Chu Fusheng grinned.
"That's about it."
…
Not long after, a large group of servants came over, either carrying plates or carrying food boxes.
After they put everything on the stone table,
I found that there were only three dishes in it! There was also a food box with unknown contents, and the rest were filled with various sauces.
“First course: sashimi.”
Chu Fusheng reached out and opened the lid of the first dish.
"Recently, from summer to autumn, it is the most fertile time for mandarin fish in the Bian River. These mandarin fish swam in along the underground river at the bottom of the lake. So they were fished out and sent to the kitchen in time, so that these mandarin fish could be saved.
The fish is so fresh when it is slaughtered.”
With that said, Chu Fusheng picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his eldest brother Chu Wushuang's bowl.
"I asked the cook at home to take out the fish line from the back of the mandarin fish to remove the fishy smell and then boil it in warm water only, because boiling water will destroy the deliciousness of the fish. I boiled it for twelve times and then took it out and put it in ice water.
Soaking in cold water will make the fish meat become firmer, and the fish meat produced in this way will be exactly the same as the meat just cut from the fish, so I named it sashimi."
"And this sauce! Together with the chefs in Fuchu, I researched thirty-six different flavors. After repeated attempts and changing the ingredients, we finally retained the twelve best flavors among them. These twelve are yours
You can try them all!”
While talking, Chu Fusheng pushed the plate with twelve portions of sauce in front of them.
Among the three people, Ergou was the most rude. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After tasting one piece, he couldn't stop. In the end, more than half of the plate of sashimi fell into his mouth.
This made Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang quite complain.
"Second course: frozen foie gras."
Seeing that they had almost eaten, Chu Fusheng slowly opened the second plate.
"This dish is a small piece in the center of a whole piece of foie gras. This is the so-called removal of the dregs and the essence. Although there is not much foie gras in this plate, there is already
It’s the best part taken from a hundred pieces of foie gras.”
"After taking it out, immediately boil it in boiling water for two minutes and sixteen seconds, take it out, and then freeze it with ice cubes. Originally, the texture of foie gras is a bit soft, but after this cooking method, it will become crispier.
You can try it and see if it suits your taste."
With their previous experience, Su Ruyu and Chu Wushuang knew how to use their chopsticks this time after Chu Fusheng finished speaking, otherwise they would not be able to win over Jiang Ergou, who was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
“The third dish: Loach with tofu.”
This time I finally had a plate of hot food, and when I opened the lid, a stream of hot steam came out.
"This dish requires grinding the most tender tofu first, then throwing the specially bred loach alive into the hot tofu, letting it burrow randomly in the tofu, and soon it turns into a puddle of minced meat.
The taste of the cooked loach meat is a rare delicacy in the world."
When the three of them were about to reach out with their chopsticks to the tofu loach, Chu Wushuang reached out and stopped them.
"This dish has too strong taste. After eating it, I will not be able to taste the fourth dish I carefully prepared."
Hearing Chu Fusheng say the highlight, Su Ruyu and others all looked at the food box.
"This dish doesn't have a name yet. It's a recipe I tried a few days ago. There is a dish called Drunken Crab in the Jiangnan area. It is made with rice wine, spices, refined salt, etc. It tastes salty and fresh, but here in the capital
The taste of the side is relatively bland, which makes me not like the drunken crab dish, so I thought of a way to soak the live crabs in rice wine one day in advance, and then steam them to remove the excess salt taste.
I researched for more than 40 times before I found the best cooking time. Now, please try this dish to see if it can be considered a delicacy on earth!"
As the cage drawer was opened by Chu Fusheng, an extremely fragrant smell floated out from inside. The three of them couldn't help themselves just by smelling the smell. Before Chu Fusheng could say hello, each of them had already picked up a crab and gnawed it.
Got up.
It seems that this third prince really lives up to his name of Chu Fusheng.
