Miscellaneous fish soup? What is that? It sounds like an ordinary feeling......" Cao Ren complained.

"That's why the name was changed temporarily, it should start from the color of the soup, and named it Baiyu Flawless Soup." Cao Cao pondered, "The secret of this soup is that almost no other seasonings are added, just ordinary spring water, a little salt, and at most some pepper, and the ingredients are only trash fish and cabbage." On the contrary, because of this simple configuration, the deliciousness of trash fish is emphasized. ”

"So what is trash fish?" Cao Ren asked.

"It is a small sea fish caught along the coast, the species is not limited, and it is messy, so it is called miscellaneous fish soup. But it is precisely because the umami of several, or even a dozen kinds of marine fish, is gathered in this soup that this umami is very prominent. Cao Cao replied.

"The question is, if the soup is so delicious, is it okay?" Liu Bei on the other side was a little puzzled.

"No, no, although the purpose of the soup is appetizing, it does not need to be light, for example, the chicken soup with soft-shelled turtle is actually very delicious. The secret of this miscellaneous fish soup is that although it is delicious, it does not have much fat! Cao Cao replied, at most two or three oil stars, and the chef removed all the excess grease components when cooking.

After simmering for a long time, the deliciousness of the fish is completely integrated into the soup, so only the soup is taken, not the fish. Put it in a transparent glass bowl and serve it, giving people the feeling of holding a piece of flawless mutton fat jade. The white jade is flawless, and it really lives up to its name!

I have to say that this banquet is really not simple, not to mention the selection of materials and cooking skills, the presentation and name are taken care of, and the other dishes are unknown, but this soup is already considered to be at the level of the imperial banquet.

"Ah...... The effect seems to be coming out...... After drinking this soup, I seem to be getting hungrier......" Cao Ren touched his stomach, and a bowl of soup was almost drunk in five or six spoonfuls, and the feeling of unfinished food made his stomach even hungrier.

"Peace of mind, the side dishes are about to come out." Cao Cao said with a smile, "The side dishes are generally a little bit, but they won't overpower the main dishes. The probability of fish, stewed meat, and poultry is still very high. ”

"When I think about it, he said, 'No chicken, no feast'. In this case, it is estimated that the appetizer may really be chicken or duck. Cao Ren said with a smile.

"The third course, the nest returns!" The yellow door shouted, and then the palace maids brought out the first side dishes one after another and sent them to everyone. In the middle of the plate, between the two broccolis, there were one or two quail eggs, and then some meat, as expected, it should be some kind of poultry meat.

"You won't really stew swallows, will you?" Cao Ren was a little skeptical, "There isn't so much meat for swallows!" ”

"It's just a nice name, I guess it's quail meat...... However, this dish does have a bit of a bird's nest feeling like it's homecoming. Cao Cao smiled, then picked up a piece of meat and ate it.

"Huh? Not quail meat! Cao Cao was a little surprised, "It's not chicken or duck either...... What is this......"

"Huh? Isn't it quail meat? I can't eat it! Cao Ren was a little puzzled.

"Pigeon...... Zi ......" Lu Bu took a bite, and then said slowly.

"Who has eaten this thing?" Cao Ren complained, "And what is this, the milk swallow returns home, and the meat is pigeon meat, but the egg is quail eggs." The pigeon lays quail eggs, and there is a story in this! ”

"Don't say that, the rice will be unpalatable!" Cao Cao reprimanded, "For chefs, it's the taste that matters, not the name of the dish." After all, this should be a pigeon...... No, the pigeon roasts quail eggs, but the deliciousness is undeniable! ”

Of course, it can also be pigeon eggs, but because they are two different birds, during the cooking process, the two different flavors are mixed with each other, which doubles the umami taste. If it is a pigeon egg roast pigeon, the effect is not good.

It is rare to slice all the meat of the pigeon, and the bones are squeezed to extract the juice, and the sauce is built on this basis. Although the broccoli is removed by blanching it with salt and salt, it absorbs the excess sauce during the serving process, and it becomes more delicious in itself, and it also has the effect of removing greasy.

"Names aside...... This dish is actually quite delicious! Cao Ren ate a piece of pigeon meat, and then ate a quail egg, the pigeon almost melts in the mouth, tender and juicy, and the quail egg Q bomb is delicious, rich and mellow, very rare.

"Especially if there is no such popular thing as chickens and ducks, it should be considered that this is a royal banquet." Cao Cao nodded, "I have to say that the appearance of the suckling pigeon still exceeded my expectations." ”

"Then again, Mengde, how do you know this so clearly?" Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"I was also a mid-level chef...... For a while, I even thought that if I couldn't join the army or politics, I would learn cooking skills well, and then teach my husband and children at home...... Cao Cao sighed, "In addition, someone has changed the way to cook for me, and it has been two or three years, and I have basically tasted most of the ingredients, and even many of them are still rare ingredients." ”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have known about the dishes of mixed fish soup and suckling pigeon.

"Also, not to mention worry-free cooking, the understanding of ingredients is estimated to be the most comprehensive in the world." Liu Bei nodded, Wang Yong was going to marry Guan Yu, so that he was her brother-in-law, so naturally he didn't need to be too serious.

"Then again......" Cao Ren looked at the two of them, "If Wang Yong marries Guan Yu and Mengmeng marries Wang Yong...... What are you two going to call each other? ”

"............" For a while, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were silent, including Guan Yu next to him, who was stunned.

"Ahem...... To each his own is ......" Cao Cao stretched out his hand, knocked on Cao Ren's head, and then replied.

"Uh...... Each hand over his own, yes, each hand over his own ......" Liu Bei and Guan Yu also smiled politely. If you really want to calculate, on the issue of Xiahouba, the seniority is already messed up. Guan Yu's side, it's all a small problem!

"Anyway, hasn't the second side dish come up yet?" Cao Ren could only change the subject.

"The time of serving is relatively fixed, and you won't serve it quickly because you eat fast, and you won't serve it because you eat slowly. The time of a dish should be the time of a cup of tea (ten minutes). Give you plenty of time to taste it, but don't wait too long. Cao Cao replied.

"Who remembers so much, and I don't plan to enter politics, otherwise I wouldn't have joined the army." Cao Ren stuck out his tongue. The banquet, especially the banquet etiquette, has too many things to know and is too grand, especially the palace banquet, which makes her feel very troublesome.

"Okay, it's almost time, and the second side dish is probably coming up. Did you find that the amount of dishes tonight is not large, which means that after a banquet tonight, it is estimated that there will be at least more than ten dishes. Cao Cao calculated the time.

"Indeed, I didn't expect that the second dish was the pigeon, the chickens, ducks and geese did not come up, I guess I will really feast tonight!" Liu Bei nodded.

"Not only that, Imperial Chef Yang Xiu majored in poultry dishes, and suckling pigeons are also considered poultry, so it seems that tonight's banquet should be based on poultry dishes." Cao Cao thought for a moment.

"Fourth course! Full of gold! The yellow door shouted again, which meant that the second side dish was about to appear.
