Chapter 376 Fat Legacy
It only took about a quarter of an hour to empty out a small bowl of refined rice.
Those who were waiting to watch the excitement in the audience were now all speechless, like ducks with their necks pinched, stretching their necks out and staring at the stage with wide eyes.
A young dandy dressed in gorgeous clothes just said that he would be convinced as long as Baoya could make a bowl of fried rice.
At this moment, his eyes were bigger than copper bells, and he kept shouting, "This is impossible? She...she's already done it? The chef at Wuwei Restaurant takes a whole day to make a dish of gold inlaid jade!"
The person standing next to him clapped his shoulder excitedly: "How is it impossible? You saw it with your own eyes! Look at her little hands, how fast she moved!"
Another person also said, "That's right! I didn't even see her movements clearly, and she emptied the whole bowl of rice! Even that embroidery needle, she held it in her hand like a knife!"
Baoya emptied the last grain of rice and inserted the embroidery needle into the chopping board next to her. Because she still had internal force attached to it and she did not control the force, the slender embroidery needle suddenly sank most of the way into the chopping board. The scorching needle tip even burned a small piece of the chopping board.
After inserting the needle, she went to get the prepared meat. A maid who was helping her wanted to go forward and pull out the needle, but she pulled hard with both hands for a long time, but the needle just stayed there and didn't move at all.
There was soup stewing in the casserole next to it. Baoya covered it with a soft cloth and opened the lid. The delicious aroma immediately filled her nose and then gradually spread throughout the lobby, making all the guests in the lobby drool.
Chang Li listened to the sound of swallowing saliva and couldn't help wiping his mouth.
The chef Zhang from Wuwei Restaurant whom he specially invited also swallowed his saliva and nudged Chang Li with his fat elbow.
"Brother Chang, where did you pick up this girl?! It would take at least ten years to master this skill!"
Chang Li's small body stumbled after being bumped into by him. He turned his head and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "What are you talking about picking it up? The young boss and I are destined to be together!"
"Don't worry about fate or not. Her cooking skills are extraordinary." Chef Zhang narrowed his eyes. "Jin Xiangyu, this is a famous dish that came from the palace. Although many chefs outside can make it, only a famous imperial chef in the palace can make it so authentic."
"Do you know who invented this dish?"
"Who?" Chang Li asked, not understanding what was going on.
Chef Zhang perked up immediately and said, "He's a retired imperial chef from the palace. The late emperor once bestowed upon him the title of God of Cooking. His name... I think it was Zhu Qi."
"Alas, unfortunately, the previous emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. I don't know how, but this chef resigned and returned home. It is said that his Yipinxian dish is a masterpiece!"
Chef Zhang was chattering on and on, but Chang Li had already switched to the mode of listening in one ear and out the other.
His attention at this moment was completely attracted by Bao Ya.
Baoya opened the lid of the pot and gently stirred the stew in the soup pot with a spoon. Her little nose moved, sniffing the tempting aroma in the pot, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
It smells so good, this thing tastes better than pigeon when stewed!
There were a few pieces of pink tender meat floating in the milky white soup, with some small bones attached, like some kind of poultry.
This is certainly not a squab, but a fat pigeon.
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a bird in Yingshan that looks like a quail, but has a yellow body and a red tail. Its name is Feiyi. Eating its meat can cure madness and kill parasites in the body.
She took a large piece of meat from the fat breast stewed in the soup pot, washed her hands, and quickly stuffed the fat meat into the hollowed-out rice.
After about another quarter of an hour, the whole bowl of rice was stuffed with fat and meat.
Then, Baoya scooped two spoonfuls of broth from the soup pot, sprinkled it into the bowl, and steamed it.
The gold and jade are in the steamer and just need to wait for a while.
Baoya wiped her hands and sat down on the stage. Gu Wang rubbed his tongue against her with his mouth hanging down, and the saliva in his mouth almost dripped onto her pants.
Seeing that the king's wolf eyes had turned green, his mouth was tightly closed, and saliva was still flowing out from between his teeth, Baoya laughed and poked his forehead with her little finger.
"You're so greedy, aren't you ashamed?"
The lonely king let out a low "wooo", turned his head, pointed his butt towards Baoya, and swept Baoya's calves with his big tail.
Baoya ignored it, supported her cheek with her little hands, leaned on the armrest of the chair, and squinted her eyes to smell the fragrance.
This fat relic actually suddenly appeared in a large water tank in the backyard of Shanhailou two days before the restaurant opened.
At that time, she had not yet decided to name the restaurant Shanhailou.
At that time, a servant was cleaning the backyard and went to fetch water from the jar. However, when he opened the lid, there was no water inside, but a large and brightly colored "pheasant".
The boy didn't know what to do, so he had to tell Baoya.
Baoya initially thought that it was the previous owner of the building, who was raised by Chang Li, so she called Chang Li to come and see.
As a result, as soon as she saw this "pheasant" with beautiful fur, she recognized it. This was not an ordinary pheasant, but a strange beast in "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Feiyi!
She quickly said that she had brought the "pheasant" here herself, and had forgotten about it while cleaning the floor and adding tables and chairs.
Chang Li and the servants didn't think much of it, but Bao Ya couldn't sleep. How come the strange beast from "Classic of Mountains and Seas" suddenly appeared?
Moreover, this fat relic was different from the strange beasts she had dreamed of before. It had no intelligence, could not speak human language, and flew around in the water tank like an ordinary bird.
That day she stood by the water tank for a long time. The more she looked at the fat fish, the more greedy she became. That night, she had a dream.
In the dream, there were no strange beasts, but a dazzling white holy light appeared before my eyes.
From the white holy light came a majestic and familiar voice.
The voice said: Taotie is a vicious beast, greedy as a wolf, and accumulates wealth but does not use it. He is not worthy of being my son's favorite.
However, considering that there is still a trace of fate between you two, I will give you a chance. Do good and not evil, accumulate virtue and not damage it.
After the voice finished speaking, the holy light dissipated.
She woke up from her dream. It was still dark outside, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Do good and don't do evil, accumulate virtue and don't damage it. It seems that she hasn't done anything bad?
Baoya thought about this for half the night. Later, when it was daybreak, the fat snake in the water tank outside howled with its neck stretched out, which made her shudder.
With this start, she seemed to understand everything.
The meat of the fat relic can cure madness and kill parasites in the human body. Why not make it into a dish and serve it to the guests? That would be a good deed, right?
Thus, Shanhai Tower came into being.
