Chapter 133 The Banquet Begins
Qin Jun picked up the chopsticks and started eating the pineapple buns.
Freshly baked pineapple buns are placed on a plate, each one is golden in color and has an alluring aroma.
Under the crispy crust, there is a soft bread. Take a light bite and you will find it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
It smells so good!!
He can eat three of these palm-sized pineapple buns in a row! !
However, don't eat too much at once.
You have to leave some room in your stomach for other snacks.
Qin Jun was busy eating pineapple buns and various snacks, while Mo Zhishan was leisurely eating shrimp wonton noodles.
He picked up a handful of bamboo noodles with chopsticks and slurped it into his mouth.
The aroma of eggs and the fragrance of flour blend perfectly together, wrapped in the deliciousness of the soup, lingering and spreading on the tip of the tongue.
The noodles are smooth, chewy and resilient. You can feel the noodles jumping between your lips and teeth with every bite.
Swallow the noodles and take a sip of the broth, and your mouth will immediately be filled with fragrance.
Ever since trying the fish maw and chicken hotpot, Mo Zhishan would bring Qin Jun to Yipinlou for meals from time to time.
He has recently become addicted to the various snacks and wonton noodles here.
Before, in Baishui County and on the way back to Beijing, Mo Zhishan had tasted (got free) noodles mixed with various sauces and instant noodles from Chen Keting.
Mo Zhishan was extremely shocked when he learned that instant noodles can be boiled, soaked in boiling water, and even eaten dry.
But after tasting the shrimp wonton noodles at Yipintang, Mo Zhishan felt that his perceptions had been overturned.
This is of course related to the deliciousness of wonton noodles, but the bigger reason is Yipinlou’s ultimate pursuit of culinary art.
When eating shrimp wonton noodles for the first time, Mo Zhishan discovered that the spoon was not placed next to the bowl, but inside the bowl.
He was a little curious, so he asked the waiter why it was placed like that.
The waiter said that although the boss was not often in the restaurant, they did things according to the rules set by the boss.
For example, the order to put the shrimp wonton noodles into the bowl is to put the spoon at the bottom first, then put the shrimp wontons, and finally put the noodles into the bowl.
At that time, the waiter explained to Mo Zhishan very seriously that there was a reason for every step here.
Place the spoon underneath, put the wontons on the spoon, and finally put the bamboo noodles. This will not only make the shape better, but also keep the bamboo noodles crispy and not become too soft due to the hot soup.
Maybe the waiter thought Mo Zhishan was a distinguished guest and must be served well, so he also said some other things.
He said that 70% of the shrimp wontons at Yipinlou are shrimp, and the remaining 30% is pork.
Two percent of it is lean meat and one percent is fat.
To ensure freshness, cook them right after wrapping and make sure they are just the right size for one bite.
These are also decided by the boss and no one can change them.
Mo Zhishan picked up a wonton, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.
Chewing carefully, the sweetness of the shrimp meat and the smoothness of the wonton skin are intertwined in the mouth. The fat and lean meat filling and leeks also enrich the taste.
Mo Zhishan ate the bowl of shrimp wonton noodles mouthful after mouthful, finishing it all.
It is truly the most delicious thing in the world.
"By the way, sir," Qin Jun, who had been eating, suddenly looked up, "will you attend the Chen Mansion's all-chrysanthemum banquet?"
Following the all-crab banquet, the Shen family planned to hold an all-chrysanthemum banquet.
Qin Jun and Mo Zhishan both received invitations from the Shen Mansion, but since Mo Zhishan returned to Beijing, he has rejected all invitations to banquets and gatherings.
Qin Jun was not sure whether Mo Zhishan would attend the Chen Mansion's all-chrysanthemum banquet.
Mo Zhishan drank the last mouthful of soup and said, "Of course, I will attend on time then."
Qin Jun was slightly stunned, as if he had not expected Mo Zhishan to answer so decisively.
"Okay, then I'll prepare a gift for you, sir."
Mo Zhishan shook his head: "No need, I have already prepared the gift."
He had never met Shen Huazheng, but from Baishui County to the capital, he had heard countless things about her.
Mo Zhishan really wanted to know what a person like this looked like who had such an extreme pursuit of taste and all kinds of details in food.
…
Under the anticipation of all the dignitaries in the capital, the Chen Mansion's all-chrysanthemum banquet finally began.
This chrysanthemum banquet is different from the last crab banquet, and is divided into two parts.
This made the already excited guests even more excited. Since it was divided into two sessions, they could eat twice!
On the day when the Shen family held the All-Chrysanthemum Banquet, the guests all brought their prepared gifts and arrived at the Shen Mansion early.
As soon as they arrived at the Shen Mansion, everyone was surprised by the chrysanthemums that came into view.
The chrysanthemums are either elegant and graceful, or bright and eye-catching, or stand tall and proud, or bloom in full bloom in all colors.
There are all kinds of different colors, which makes people dazzled.
I have always heard that the chrysanthemums in Mianzhou County bloom very beautifully, but I didn't expect them to be so beautiful.
It can be seen that the Shen family spent a lot of effort in organizing the banquet this time.
The Shen family dug a canal in the hall and led the gurgling stream water into the mansion, preparing to hold a Qushui Liushang banquet.
Specially made wooden plates are floating in the artificial river, with various dishes on them for guests to enjoy.
At first, everyone thought they were just going to the Shen Mansion to enjoy the flowers and have a delicious meal.
Who would have known that all the dishes at this banquet were made with chrysanthemums.
This is simply a feast of chrysanthemums with a dazzling array of colors!!
In order to avoid embarrassment at the banquet, everyone had eaten something to fill their stomachs before coming to the Chen Mansion. But now seeing so many delicious foods, their stomachs were rumbling like a churning sea.
Let's put aside the rules and etiquette for now, I really can't stand it anymore.
Yes, that's right.
Let’s talk about it after we finish eating.
Princess An picked up a fried chrysanthemum that was fried till golden and crispy, put it in and chewed it. It was crispy and crunchy, and her mouth was full of rich floral aroma.
The fried chrysanthemum is sour and sweet and very appetizing. While chewing, the aroma of egg and flowers interweave with each other, and every part of the mouth is filled with this gentle and lingering fragrance.
She was slightly stunned. Chrysanthemum can really be made into a dish on its own.
And it’s so delicious.
Prince An took a look at the soup bowl brought by the maid and found that chrysanthemums could actually be cooked in chicken soup.
Figs and brightly colored chrysanthemum petals float on the chicken soup, which is very pleasing to the eye.
He remembered the maid's reminder and scooped up a few petals of chrysanthemum and put them into his mouth to chew.
The petals of chrysanthemum are thick, crispy and sweet, and have a fresh fragrance.
Prince An scooped up another spoonful of chicken soup and put it into his mouth.
The soup is delicious and smooth, flowing slowly into the throat, and the sweet taste lingers on the tip of the tongue.
If you taste it carefully, you can also smell the sweetness of figs and the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
The fresh aroma of the chicken and the fresh and fragrant floral scent are intertwined together, and even the greasiness in the soup is easily dissolved, leaving your mouth full of sweetness.
Then try the chicken, it is also tender and smooth, very delicious.
