It was late at night, the feast was about to begin, and the officials of the government began to sit down one after another.

"Sniff ......" Xun Yu kept twitching her nose, this action made Guo Jia beside her very uncomfortable.

"Yeon, I'll be very embarrassed if you say that." Guo Jia's eyes swept between the guests, although no one noticed this, but it still made her very shy.

"The smell emanating from Yuan's body is too fragrant, and people can't stand it!" Xun Yu smelled greedily, "This is the taste of charcoal-roasted whole sheep?" It feels different from the roast lamb in my impression! ”

"It's supposed to be carefree, Yeon...... You'll be able to eat it later...... So ......" Guo Jia had noticed it at the moment, and it seemed that someone had noticed this side and looked over. At this moment, her face is already red and hot.

"So!" Xun Yu had a 'treacherous plan' expression, "Tell me tonight's menu, how about it?" ”

"Don't!" Guo Jia shook his head, "Anyway, we'll know later!" ”

stuck out his tongue, this was revenge for Xun Yu's previous behavior. At the same time, I was also worried that after hearing the name of the menu, especially if I heard that lamb haggis or even lamb blood was used as an ingredient, there would be any changes to the banquet.

"Fate...... Recently, you have learned badly......" Xun Yu looked heartbroken.

Fortunately, Cao Cao also began to sit down, which means that the banquet is about to begin. Before the banquet, as a assassin and as the top boss of the officials, he had to say something inspiring.

"This plan was nearly a month before and after, and the time was rushed, but it was already an unexpected joy to be able to achieve such results. This month, thanks to everyone's cooperation and hard work, there are such rich results! When Cao Cao said this, he gestured slightly, and the soldiers beside the officials began to help the officials fill up the wine.

"To achieve the current achievements is inseparable from everyone's efforts, and please drink this cup with me!" Cao Cao raised his glass.

"My subordinates thank the lord for the wine!" Everyone also responded.

Wang Yong was relatively embarrassed, after all, his identity was the head chef, and he had to supervise the order and safety of the dishes, so he couldn't sit at the table. He could only stand aside, holding a wine glass, and raise it towards Cao Cao from afar, and then drank it all.

Cao Cao also obviously noticed the movement here, and nodded towards Wang Yong, which could be regarded as a response. Seriously, Wang Yong didn't even know if that move was a gesture to himself......

"Keep going like this, I feel like I'm going to go in the direction of licking the dog...... Do you want to harm a few little girls first? Wang Yong secretly reminded himself that he was a normal man. You can be a warm man, wandering among many women, and you must not be a single-minded, selfless licking dog.

"This guy is an absolute badass!" Obviously, Wang Yong forgot that there was a little girl beside him. When Yang Xiu heard this, he immediately thought that Wang Yong regarded her as a target, and his cheeks suddenly became flushed.

"Oh, here you are?" Wang Yong then remembered that there was a little guy beside him, "Peace of mind, I'm not interested in the little kids who haven't grown up!" ”

"What the hell do you think of saying such rude words to a lady?!" Yang Xiu yelled directly, obviously with her cultivation, she really couldn't swear.

On the other hand, the wine has already been drunk, so the feast will naturally begin, and the assistant chef has already begun to direct and serve the soup in advance.

The Han Dynasty adopted a separate meal system. It is not that in later generations, everyone gathered around a round table and ate food on the same plate. Instead, seats are set according to status, one or two people are a seat, and the kitchen needs to divide the ingredients into several portions according to the number of guests and send them to each seat.

For example, if there is a very important guest, following the principle of 'left is up', then Cao Cao will sit on the left side of the top place, and the guest will sit on the right side of the top place.

The seat at the lower head, the closest to the top seat, is called the upper seat, with the seat on the left being the most honorable, followed by the right side. The farthest place is the last seat. For example, now, sitting on the last seat are the two lowest-ranking officials, and Wang Yong can't even say the names of the two of them.

As Cao Cao signaled, bowls of soup were brought out, as the first soup, one bowl was enough, mainly appetizing, not to fill the stomach. Of course, according to the custom, prepare a little more, and if anyone wants it, they can directly order the waiter to get it.

"But when it comes to feasting, many times the nature of communication is stronger than the nature of tasting food. For example, this banquet is mainly a platform for Thorn Shi to deepen his friendship with his subordinates, and the tasting of food is only incidental. Yang Xiu reminded, "So your haggis and radish soup may be able to get by...... Although the taste is ok ......"

Watching someone 'go against his will' to say his evaluation of the soup, Wang Yong said that it was better to give her some face and not laugh.

I remember that half an hour ago, someone was directly shocked by the taste of this soup, and went straight to the point of speechlessness. Then the whole person blushed, as if he had been directly swollen.

"Front soup, haggis and radish soup!" Wang Yong stepped forward and shouted, as a chef, his duty is to report the name of the dish.

"Haggis, the offal of sheep? Can that thing be eaten? Sure enough, many people began to talk to each other, a little worried about the taste of this soup. Obviously, offal dishes have not yet been able to become mainstream. If you want to say it, it's probably like the British dish of 'looking up at the stars', which is simply dark cuisine.

"Wang Yong!" Cao Cao looked at the people in the first place and shouted, "How did you think of using haggis to make soup?" ”

"Back to the lord!" Wang Yong walked out, "My subordinates slaughtered five sheep tonight, and when they slaughtered the sheep, the sheep blood and haggis were left, and they were wasted, so delicious things, I also want everyone to taste them." ”

"If it's not delicious, can I settle accounts with you?" Cao Cao scooped up a spoonful of soup and a piece of lamb tripe.

"If you really don't think it's delicious, then your subordinates can only be willing to be punished!" What else can Wang Yong say, in the feudal era, a prince wanted to say that this dish was not delicious, who could not be punished obediently? Among them, there is no reason to say it at all!

Take 10,000 steps back and say, is this to let yourself reason with a woman? Don't you know that there is a saying in later generations, called "Unreasonableness and repentance are the patent of women!" ”

"That's good!" Cao Cao actually wants to protect Wang Yong very much, otherwise she doesn't need to try it, and naturally someone will come out to find fault. You don't even need to taste it, you can directly punish the crime.

However, she ate it, but she could see that her brows were still inevitably wrinkled before she ate it. It takes a lot of courage to eat internal organs that most people don't eat, just like many people eat fried scorpions for the first time.

In the mouth, it is not a foul smell, or the strong smell of haggis, but a faint peppery smell. The taste of white pepper, the sweetness of shredded white radish, and of course, the smell of mutton that is impossible to ignore. However, after the pepper is pressed and the radish is blended, the taste is almost undetectable, but it seems to be developing in another direction.

The aroma of mutton, the key to the taste is very tender, which should be treated with some techniques, and it is not greasy at all.

It is not easy to handle mutton well, on the one hand, the smell of mutton is difficult to suppress, and the second is that the greasy taste is very uncomfortable. Maybe some poor people who haven't eaten oil for a long time will be very comfortable to eat such greasy mutton, but it is definitely not something that Cao Cao and others, who have a good background and have not suffered much, like it.

However, pork is not delicious, beef cannot be eaten, mutton can only be endured obediently, and stewed soup is actually okay. It wasn't until cumin came in that the barbecue became even more delicious.

"Does haggis actually taste like this?" Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaim, "It's not as fat as I imagined, the key meat flavor is stronger than mutton, how can this be?" Could it be that there is such a change because you put pepper?! ”

"To taste it, I did add some pepper." Wang Yong said with a smile, in fact, in addition to pepper, there is a little bit of rice wine, and a little pepper.

Later generations will also add spices such as cumin, star anise, grass fruit, bay leaf, sugar cane and orange peel, of course, it is simple and easier, just add a little curry powder to stew. After all, there are a lot of the above-mentioned spice ingredients in the curry powder that you buy now.

"The price of pepper is not cheap!" Cao Cao glared directly at Wang Yong.

"But haggis costs almost nothing, so it doesn't go over budget." Wang Yong directly pretended to be confused, really calculated, can this haggis not be money? That's still counted in the money he came out, but if he doesn't go through the yamen's account, it's not a lie.

"This dark red lumpy is sheep's blood?" Cao Cao apparently also saw the sheep's blood in the soup bowl.

"Exactly, the sheep's blood after coagulation and cooking has a good taste and a stronger taste!" Wang Yong replied.

"In the past, if someone asked me to eat sheep's blood, I would definitely cut the other party, this time I will give you a face!" Cao Cao scooped up the blood of the sheep and ate it under the attention of the ministers.

The sheep's blood is so delicious that it dissipates in the mouth like tofu and turns into a fragrant flavor that glides directly over the taste buds, then into the mouth and into the stomach.

"This ...... How can it taste like this? "Cao Cao didn't expect that the blood of the sheep could be eaten, and the taste was okay!

Wang Yong actually wants to say that in his hometown of Xi'an, there is a dish called sheep blood vermicelli soup! It can be used as a soup, and if you want to eat full, you can also add some steamed buns to soak in. Sheep blood and vermicelli, as well as steamed buns are the main components, and the taste is 'numb, spicy, salty, fragrant, light and tender'.

"My subordinates once traveled to a place where animal blood or poultry blood cooked like this was called blood tofu, which was really no different from tofu in terms of taste." Wang Yong said with a smile.

"Indeed, this taste is really good, this haggis and radish soup have a fragrant taste, but it is not strong, but it stimulates hunger...... As a pre-soup, it qualified! Cao Cao nodded and acknowledged the soup.

Of course, other people are not easy to say anything, whether they like it or not, the lord has such a reaction, and she/they are naturally not hypocritical.

"It's worry-free, haggis and lamb blood can be used as ingredients to cook such delicious things!" Xun Yu is naturally the best to taste carefully. And Guo Jia beside her was also slowly tasting this bowl of soup.

Originally, Wang Yong was in the back kitchen, and they already had their share, but who let Guo Jia still be a scribe in the government and have her seat. In this regard, the same is true of Dian Wei. There are only Liu Li, Xu Huang and Yang Xiu left, who accompanied him in the back kitchen to enjoy it in advance, and now they are full.

"The first main course of the banquet, white chopped chicken, serve!" Seeing that everyone had finished drinking the soup, Wang Yong shouted again.

"White Chop Chicken...... It seems that I ate a little too much some time ago......" Xun Yu heard this, but showed a bitter face.
