Chapter 233: So this is how people in the capital eat

When Wei Yu hurried to the Shen Mansion, the banquet was about to begin.

He breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he made it in time.

Mo Zhishan, his deskmate, felt a little disappointed when he saw Wei Yu.

He thought that Wei Yu had something to do and would not come today, so he could eat the extra portion.

What a pity! What a pity~~

Wei Yu and Mo Zhishan are close friends regardless of age difference. One look at Mo Zhishan's expression will tell you what he is thinking at the moment.

"Mr. Mo, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Mo Zhishan smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Qin Jun on the side felt a little strange: "Master Wei, what do you mean by disappointed?"

Mo Zhishan: ...

How could he have such a stupid student?

Wei Yu: "Nothing, I'll eat more later."

Qin Jun smiled innocently, revealing his big white teeth: "Lord Wei, the same, eat more."

That day, Qin Jun happened to meet Chen Keting and Jiang Cheng eating seafood clay pot rice in the Hanlin Academy, which made him very greedy.

Knowing that the Shen family was planning to hold a seafood banquet, he was overjoyed.

He only ate until he was 60% full for breakfast, leaving some room for the seafood feast.

Even if he had to walk with the help of a wall after eating, he would still try every dish on the table before leaving.

Wei Yu smiled gently, but in his heart he was wondering how could Mo Zhishan, this old fox, teach such a foolish student? ?

As before, the guests were mentally prepared.

But after the banquet began, everyone was still stunned by the unique table setting.

The banquet this time was different from any I had seen before. Each dish served was based on the type of seafood.

Before serving the dishes, maids would place the menu in front of the guests.

The names of the dishes and the order in which they are served are recorded in detail, and there are even pictures attached.

It’s the same menu as Yipinlou.

The first dish to be served was the lobster. The waitresses came in one after another and placed the dishes on the trays on the table one by one.

There are golden sand shrimp, baked lobster in superior soup, lobster noodles, typhoon shelter lobster, steamed lobster with vermicelli and garlic, and stir-fried lobster with three green onions.

Qin Jun widened his eyes, wondering if it was because he had seen too little of the world.

He felt that if the lobsters on this table were taken out individually, they could be made into a banquet.

But according to the menu provided by the waitress, this was only the first batch of dishes, and there would be a variety of seafood later.

A variety of seafood cooked in different ways...

Qin Jun suddenly regretted his cleverness, thinking that he could save space for the seafood feast if he ate 60% full for breakfast.

He shouldn't eat anything!!

Wrong decision!!!

These dishes all look delicious. Which one should I eat first?

Wei Yu looked at the dazzling array of dishes and the names of the dishes on the menu, and finally understood why this seafood banquet had to be divided into two parts.

There are many kinds of seafood at the banquet, and each kind of seafood is cooked in different ways to make various delicacies.

If it is not divided into two parts, I am afraid I won’t be able to finish it in a short time.

No wonder His Majesty was in a hurry to end the emergency meeting in the palace. He should have got the menu a long time ago.

Mo Zhishan didn’t have so many thoughts, all he had eyes for was delicious food.

He used a serving chopstick to pick up the stir-fried lobster with green onions closest to him and put it in the bowl.

Lobster with Onions is a dish made with onions, shallots and shallots and lobster.

The lobster meat is sweet, crispy and chewy, and after absorbing the complex aroma of scallion oil, it becomes even more fragrant.

Mo Zhishan slowly chewed the lobster meat in his mouth and couldn't help but sigh at the wonderfulness of this method.

The aroma of onions not only removes the fishy smell of lobster, but also brings out the deliciousness of lobster meat.

It's really delicious.

Yun Ruo tasted a piece of Typhoon Shelter Lobster and was immediately amazed.

The rich garlic-flavored Typhoon Shelter seasoning wraps the tender and chewy lobster meat. As you chew it, the deliciousness of the lobster meat and the aroma of the seasoning blend perfectly together.

The sweet taste of lobster slowly blooms on the tip of your tongue, coupled with the unique salty and fragrant taste, which makes people intoxicated.

Ahhh, it’s really delicious!!

I am so happy to know Lady Yinghua and be her friend!!!

Yunruo's two sisters-in-law were as excited as Yunruo. They were both born and raised in the Northwest.

Normally, we rarely eat freshwater fish and shrimp, let alone seeing so many delicious dishes made from lobster.

According to the waitress who served the food just now, only the dishes made from lobster will be served first, and other seafood will be served later.

While eating the delicacies on the table, they sighed in their hearts.

Wow, it turns out the food people in the capital eat every day is so exquisite and delicious, it really deserves to be called Kyoto.

Madam Yun used chopsticks to put the Typhoon Shelter Lobster in the bowl into her mouth. She looked calm on the outside, but her heart was already in turmoil.

The golden and crispy minced garlic blends perfectly with the lobster, and while chewing it, one even feels a happy tingling sensation.

She was from Jiangnan and later married and moved to Northwest China.

Mrs. Yun's family was a well-known wealthy family in Jiangnan. She had eaten a lot of seafood and river fish since she was a child, including lobster meat.

I just never expected that lobster could be cooked in so many ways besides steaming or boiling, and that they were all so delicious.

It is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also an eye-opener.

No wonder my daughter always says that Princess Yinghua is an excellent cook and has clever ideas whenever she mentions her.

Even very ordinary ingredients will become delicious delicacies in the hands of County Lady Yinghua.

Mrs. Yun was extremely happy when she thought that her daughter's wedding banquet would be hosted by Yipinlou, which was owned by Lady Yinghua.

My daughter has met a noble person.

Lord Jiang was very interested in the baked lobster in soup. He picked up a piece of snow-white lobster meat with a serving chopstick and put it in the bowl.

Put it in your mouth and take a bite, the delicious juice instantly splashes in your mouth, and a delicious taste suddenly jumps to the tip of your tongue.

He chewed the lobster meat in his mouth carefully, feeling the indescribable wonderful feeling.

This dish may seem simple, but it actually contains a lot of thought.

First, use dragon bones, a whole chicken, duck and ham to boil together for four hours to make a mellow and delicious broth.

The cleaned lobsters are then baked with various seasonings and broth, allowing the lobsters to fully absorb the essence of the broth in the process.

Of course, temperature control is a critical point.

Only by maintaining the proper heat and time can the baked lobster meat maintain its crispy and tender taste, while allowing the soup to fully penetrate into every bit of lobster meat.

The delicious taste of lobster and the richness of soup are perfectly combined to achieve an amazing sense of satisfaction.

The delicious taste lingers in your mouth after eating, leaving you wanting more.

Lord Jiang swallowed the lobster in his mouth and sighed softly.

“It’s another rare delicacy in the world.”

Every time when he thought he had seen the world and tasted the best of the world, Lady Yinghua would always use practical actions to wake him up.

Let him understand that he is just a frog in a well.

Although you think you have seen the world, you have only seen a small part of the delicious food.

However, it was also because of County Master Yinghua that he was able to go further and further on the road of tasting delicious food and experience more and more delicious food.

Thinking of this, Lord Jiang felt much better.

He raised his chopsticks and reached for the lobster.

This dish looks quite novel, as the lobster is cooked together with the noodles.

No matter what, I have to taste what it tastes like.

Lord Jiang picked up a piece of lobster and put it in the bowl, then picked up some noodles and was about to put them in the bowl, but he inadvertently saw Jiang Cheng eating the dishes not far away.

He immediately withdrew his gaze with disdain, and sighed again in his heart——

Life is indeed impossible to be perfect.

Master Zhou had always had a special liking for Typhoon Shelter Fried Crabs, and he was extremely happy when he discovered Typhoon Shelter Lobsters this time.

He happily put the lobster into his mouth. The lobster meat was firm and sweet, and the garlic was crispy and delicious.

Today I saw lobsters cooked in a typhoon shelter, so of course I had to try it.

Well, it turns out that this method is very suitable for fresh shrimp and crab meat.

I don't know if there are any other foods suitable for this method besides shrimps and crabs.

For example, Typhoon Shelter Fish, Typhoon Shelter Chicken, etc.

The more Master Zhou thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good entry point. He planned to find Chen Huazheng to talk about this matter after the banquet.

Maybe it can even inspire my precious granddaughter and help her find a cooking method to avoid the typhoon.

Master Zhou happily picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden sand prawn and put it in the bowl.

While thinking about what other food can be paired with Typhoon Shelter, he put the golden lobster meat into his mouth.

The moment Zhou Taishi bit into the golden sand shrimp, the crispy outside and tender inside texture immediately attracted all his attention. He was so attracted by the fragrance that he forgot everything he was thinking about just now.

Compared with the Typhoon Shelter method, the Golden Salon Shrimp tastes less salty and greasy, but is just as crispy and delicious.

The salted egg yolk has a crunchy texture, and the tender lobster meat is plump and juicy, as if the sweetness of a lifetime and the mellow aroma of salted egg yolk are intertwined together, creating a granular and smooth texture in the mouth.

The perfect combination of the two brings out the salty, fresh and sweet flavor of this dish.

Master Zhou swallowed the lobster meat in his mouth, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea.

So delicious!!

He remembered that the last time his granddaughter hosted a crab feast, there was a dish of crab roe tofu, which also contained salted egg yolk.

It seems that salted egg yolk can not only be paired with crabs to make a dish, but also with lobsters.

For example, other shrimps, or fish, and other seafood and river fish.

It can be made into golden sand crab, golden sand fish, golden sand snail and so on.

You can even broaden your thinking and consider chicken, duck and goose meat as well.

Who knows, you may be able to find some new cooking methods using this idea.

The more Master Zhou thought about it, the more it made sense to him, and he drank the tea in the cup in one breath.

After the banquet is over, I will talk to Zheng'er about this idea.

Maybe it can give her inspiration and help her find a golden way of cooking.

Wait, why does this sound familiar? ?

Master Zhou always felt that he had forgotten something, but when he thought about it, he couldn't find the clue.

He originally wanted to think about it more carefully, but when he saw Jiang Ge Lao, Mo Zhishan and others busy eating, he gave up the idea.

The world is big, but the way of eating is the biggest.

No matter what, eat first.

…

In the Palace

The prince looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes sparkling.

Wow, so many delicious foods!!

He had another big dinner with his father, mother and grandmother.

It was a seafood feast prepared by County Lady Yinghua.

The prince felt like he was immersed in a honey pot and felt very sweet in his heart.

So happy!!

Emperor Jingning looked at the prince's excited expression and found it funny but also a little sad.

What a loser! It's just a seafood dinner.

As for being that happy?

Thinking of his childhood days, Emperor Jingning sighed in his heart again.

Forget it. If there is such an opportunity next time, I’ll just call the prince.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no need to be so strict with children.

Everything has to be done in moderation; too much is as bad as too little.

Now he is not as strict with the prince as before, but his schoolwork and performance are actually better than before.

Find a suitable time and take the prince to the food street for a good stroll, so that he can experience the real folk atmosphere.

It's not good to be bored in the palace all the time.

…

Princess Yi'an and Madam Zhou have surprisingly similar tastes, and both have a special liking for lobster noodles.

The lobster in this dish is also baked in broth and topped with cheese.

The lobster meat is delicious, and even the noodles look very tempting.

Each noodle is coated with thick sauce, which makes people's appetite whetted just by looking at it.

Use chopsticks to pick up the lobster meat and take a bite. It is fresh and tender.

Taste the noodles again. The smooth and chewy noodles wrapped in the fragrant sauce put into your mouth, and a strong salty and fresh taste immediately spreads between your lips and teeth.

The sweetness of the lobster and the aroma of the soup have been integrated into the noodles. When you chew them carefully, the freshness of the lobster and the fragrance of the noodles are intertwined and linger on the tip of your tongue.

It's like a song played on the taste buds, making people linger.

Chen Huazheng also ate the chewy noodles with great enjoyment, finding it very satisfying.

The rich aroma of eggs and flour, along with the fresh aroma of soup and lobster, and the rich aroma of sesame, all linger in your mouth.

E-noodles are even better than lobster.

In fact, the most important thing about lobster e-noodles is not the taste of the lobster meat, but the e-noodles.

When gourmets taste this dish, what they care most about is not whether the lobster is delicious enough, but the taste of the noodles.

The freshness of the lobster is naturally the first priority, but whether the noodles in the lobster noodles are flavorful enough can truly reflect the level of the chef.

The yam in this dish is as important as the vermicelli in steamed seafood with garlic vermicelli.

After the lobsters on the table were eaten, the servants began to serve the second seafood dish - grouper.

A group of maids came forward and removed the empty plates from the table.

Another wave of maids brought one dish after another made of grouper to the table.

The grouper that appeared on the table today was naturally not the one weighing more than 40 kilograms that day.

Because the grouper had already been eaten by Shen Huazheng, Princess Lejia, Zhou Ying and the entire Shen family.
