Chapter 346: The Soup That Needs to Be Chewed

The banquet of hundreds of people was held directly in the square leading to the main hall, and the seats were arranged according to everyone's identity and age, with two rows on the left and right. You don't have to wait too long.

Liu Xie sat in the first place, Sangong sat in the second echelon, and the three of them were responsible for helping Liu Xie entertain the guests tonight, and the guests had not yet finished seating, and the three of them could not sit down.

The eldest member of the clan sat on the left side of the upper seat, and even the vassal king could only obediently accompany the right side of the upper seat. Hanzun Confucianism, Confucianism is headed by filial piety, tonight said that it was a family banquet, how could you not put those elders in your eyes because of different status? !

"Eh, I'm in the last seat?" Liu Bei was a little depressed, how could he be in this area at the end.

"No way, the seat was already prepared, but I didn't expect ......" Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei with a little meaning, she didn't expect this disciple to be so blessed that he was actually recognized by His Majesty as a relative.

In this way, it can be regarded as a serious royal family of eight hundred, but the problem is that they have already determined everyone's position last night, and today suddenly one more Liu Bei came out, and they don't know how to arrange it.

"Why don't you come up and sit with me?" Cao Cao suddenly appeared beside the two and invited Liu Bei.

"This ...... Forget it......" Liu Bei was a little moved, but thinking of being watched by so many people, he was still embarrassed to go up in the end. Besides, if you want to go up, you probably are sitting with Lu Zhi, don't you see that she is a little unkind at the moment?

"I heard that Xu Du only moved here around April this year, and the original imperial chef was intercepted in Chang'an by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the current imperial chef team has not even been gathered, and the position of chef has been vacant," Pei Wang Liu Yao chatted softly with Liu He, the king ......of Pengcheng beside him.

"There are already imperial chefs, and senior chefs are still relatively easy to hire. But I heard that the leader is a little girl who is an intermediate chef......" Liu He replied in a low voice.

"But I also heard that she is the granddaughter of the former imperial chef Yang Ci, and it is said that Yang Xiu already has the level of a senior chef, but there is no reference yet." Liu Yao said.

"The problem is......" The seat next to him was Liu Twenty, the king of the North Sea, "I heard that tonight's chef was transferred from Sikong Mansion, and he is also the person designated by His Majesty!" ”

"What kind of person is so honored?" Liu Yao was suddenly a little surprised.

"It's a mid-level chef, and it's rumored that I've come into contact with the threshold of a superchef, but I haven't had time to take the assessment yet. Last year, he was discovered by Cao Sikong, and then put himself under his command, and it is said that he has a good relationship with His Majesty in private. However, this person's character is not very good, and he directly married four women...... No, it should be three wives and one concubine! Liu Twenty said in a low voice.

"It's really jealous...... Cough...... What a scumbag who makes people hate! Liu He said indignantly, how many men hope to be able to marry a few women openly. The problem is that there are too few women, and they are so good and so weak, and many times they just think about it.

"If it weren't for Cao Sikong's maintenance, I'm afraid that this person would have been beaten to death by someone in the market a long time ago......," Liu Yao said with a smile.

"Such a person, even if he has good craftsmanship, what can he do?" The other two also responded.

At the end of the day, the guests had already entered the table one after another, and seeing that there was no problem, Sangong also returned to his position one after another. The waiters brought out the wine one after another, along with some pre-dinner fruit.

Before the official start of the banquet, Liu Xie had to get up and talk, everyone drank two cups, and then talked about the history of the Han Dynasty, sighed about the achievements of the ancestors, and then said that he would also work hard to make the Han Dynasty prosperous......

Like it or not, this kind of procedure has to go anyway. The difference is that there is a real toast, everyone drinks real wine, but Liu Xie drinks fruit juice. Without him, since he may really be pregnant in his belly, it is better not to drink alcohol and the like.

"So, go back to the kitchen and serve the food! Tonight's feast begins! After following a set of basic procedures, Liu Xie began to give instructions to the side, and the latter immediately went to inform the kitchen and bring the dishes up.

All kinds of dishes have been prepared, and they have been kept warm in the special insulation utensils, Wang Yong calculated it correctly, and all of them were sent over, and it took only three minutes before and after Liu Xie's order to serve the dishes. In fact, Liu Xie saw that the dishes had not yet come up completely, so he delayed Wang Yong for three minutes a little......

"Soup, bouncing pig's trotter soup!" There was a shout from behind, and waiters successively brought cantaloupe to the diners. Each diner has a cantaloupe, and the scene is quite spectacular.

"Eh!" But there was a waiter who accidentally knocked over the cantaloupe when he was putting it, and the guests and the waiter were startled.

"Huh!?" I was worried that the soup would spill out, but I didn't want the soup to be spilled, which suddenly aroused the curiosity of the guests.

"What's going on with this soup?" Seeing this, some guests tried to put the spoon in, but the spoon popped out. To be precise, his hand trembled, after all, when the spoon touched the soup, he clearly felt that it was solid.

"This soup is actually solid!?" Cao Cao also scooped a spoonful, looking at the jelly-like soup, he couldn't help but be curious.

"For the first time, I saw soup that needed to be chewed." Lu Zhi is also very interested, but how is such soup made? Is this kind of soup delicious?

"Ah...... Well......" Liu Xie took the lead in taking a bite, a sweet and sour, fragrant and delicious taste came from the tip of the tongue, but it was a very unusual taste, "Very interesting taste!" ”

"It's really delicious, but I thought it would be a very brilliant taste, such a ......" Liu Yao showed dissatisfaction, in fact, many feudal families have high-level chefs, and such a level of soup is really nothing.

"Sister, how is this soup?" Liu Qi looked at Liu Pan next to him.

"The taste of the soup itself is quite interesting, with a mix of sour and salty flavors, but the aroma of the pig's trotters is okay. For a banquet of this level, it can only be regarded as an ordinary ...... The problem is, it's just an appetizer! Liu Pan gave a pertinent answer.

"That's right! It's just an appetizer! Liu Xun next to him suddenly suddenly said, "The meaning of appetizers is appetizing, so if they are too brilliant, they can't make people look forward to the next dishes." After drinking this soup, I even subconsciously want to know what the next dish will be! ”

"Indeed, as a pre-soup, this soup is really outstanding." Cao Cao also nodded.

She didn't know that in order to improve this soup, Wang Yong tried it several times. At first, he directly planned to use soft-shelled turtles, but later Hua Tuo told him that soft-shelled turtles would cause miscarriages in pregnant women...... He will continue to use soft-shelled turtles when he is stupid!

I was too lazy to change other soups, so I simply changed the face with pig's trotters, and of course the salted plum was also changed to a salty plum, and after several adjustments, the finished product was ...... It's in a league of its own!
