Hearing that he was going to send it to Feng Xian, Xue Huan helped him put together two more dishes.
A large bowl of spicy cold noodles, a bowl of loofah and egg soup, and a plate of drunken shrimps.
Drunken shrimps are made with fresh river shrimps that have been raised in clean water overnight. When cooking, put the shrimps into a jar of rice wine. After a while, the shrimps will be drunk. Then pick up the shrimps, put them on a plate, pour the pre-seasoned ingredients on them, and place a few watery flower petals on the edge of the plate. The dish is then ready.
The seasoning includes chili peppers, wine, vinegar, and garlic, so this dish is not difficult to make, but it cannot be made without chili peppers.
Xue Huan put the three dishes into a lunch box and handed it to Ye Diao. "If Mr. Feng eats these three dishes this time, he will probably not refuse next time you invite him to dinner."
She is very confident in the dishes she cooks.
She also added spiritual spring water to the dish.
I don't believe that Mr. Feng won't take the bait.
As for why she helped Ye Diao so much, it was certainly not out of kindness, but she thought that if she could help Ye Diao successfully invite Mr. Feng, it would be a disguised way of making him owe her a favor.
The Ye family is the local boss of Fengchi County and a wealthy family among wealthy families. Ye Diao is the current head of the Ye family. It is better to build a good relationship with him. Who knows when it will come in handy.
Admittedly, this was a bit utilitarian, but how could the adult world be so black and white? She hadn't resorted to any illicit means; she simply harbored a selfish motive, wanting to create a more effective escape route for herself.
But after Ye Diao returned home, the servants in the mansion were very happy. They were busy making the bed, cleaning the room and preparing meals for him.
However, he had not yet recovered from the long boat ride, and he had no appetite in such a hot day.
As for eating three plates of snacks in one go?
This had nothing to do with appetite; it was simply because the snack tasted so good that he couldn't control himself for a moment.
He moved his chopsticks briefly, asked the servants to take the food away, and went back to his room to take a nap.
He was sleeping soundly when Feng Bing, the strong servant who came back with him, woke him up.
"Master, wake up, Mr. Ye has sent some delicious food over."
Feng Bing had been with Feng Xian for decades and knew his master's temperament very well. He knew that he loved delicious food the most, so after seeing the three dishes that Ye Diao had sent, he woke him up without delay.
Feng Xian was a little angry at first. He was dreaming that he had transformed into an immortal and was invited by the Queen Mother to heaven for a banquet. At the banquet, he drank fine wine and ate rare delicacies. It was such a happy and wonderful time. How could he feel at ease when he was suddenly woken up?
Only when I heard Feng Bing talking about delicious food did I feel a little relieved.
"What's delicious? Bring it here so I can see it."
Feng Bing took out three dishes from the lunch box and placed them on the table. Feng Xian could smell the spicy aroma from a distance. He walked over and saw a plate of shrimps with a scent of wine, a bowl of ordinary-looking loofah and egg soup, and a bowl of something similar to vermicelli, sprinkled with a handful of shredded cucumber, shredded radish, peanuts, and a red soup.
As a gourmet who loves and knows how to eat, he was not disappointed when he saw these three seemingly ordinary dishes, because he knew that sometimes the simpler the ingredients, the more delicious they would be when cooked.
There is no distinction between high and low ingredients, only whether they are cooked well or not.
If Ye Diao had sent him the so-called delicacies from land and sea, he might not even look at them, but the ingredients of the three dishes in front of him were very ordinary. Since Ye Diao dared to send them to him, the taste must be good.
Otherwise, how would he dare to bring it to him to embarrass himself?
Thinking of this, Feng Xian was even more determined to give it a try. He sat down, took the pair of bamboo chopsticks handed to him by Feng Bing, and mixed the cold noodles in front of him while asking, "Did anyone tell me what this thing is called?"
Feng Bing: "It's called Liangpi."
"Liangpi? No wonder it doesn't look very hot."
He picked up a chopstick and slowly put it into his mouth.
"Cough cough!" Feng Xian choked because it was the first time he tasted something so authentically spicy.
Feng Xian patted his back and scooped him a bowl of soup. "Master, drink some soup slowly."
As the soup enters your mouth, the spicy taste that rushes straight to the top of your head is immediately suppressed, and the delicious taste explodes on the tip of your tongue.
The simple loofah and egg soup tastes even better than the soups carefully cooked by the palace chefs through multiple steps!
Feng Xian simply picked up the soup bowl, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth without using a spoon.
Fortunately, it had been a while since it came here from Yingxian Tower, so the soup was not as hot as it was at the beginning. Otherwise, if he drank it like that, his tongue would have been burned and blistered.
Feng Bing watched from the side with a look of astonishment. It was the first time he saw the master eat so voraciously. In the past, no matter how delicious the food was, he could enjoy it calmly. But this time, he didn't even care about the eating habits he had always adhered to.
After drinking a bowl of soup, Feng Xian felt satisfied.
However, drinking soup alone is not enough to fill you up, and the spicy and oily cold noodles he just tasted have completely whetted his appetite.
Feng Xian ate the cold noodles with big mouthfuls, and it was so spicy that tears came to his eyes, but at the same time he felt that he had never felt so refreshed.
The spicier it is, the more fragrant it is, and the spicier it is, the more you can’t stop eating it.
When you can’t stand the spiciness, have a bowl of warm loofah and egg soup. It’s so comfortable.
Feng Bing was so greedy watching from the side that he went to the kitchen to ask for a few remaining cold steamed buns, and ate them in big mouthfuls with the appetizing spicy flavor.
When Feng Xian saw this, he asked him for a steamed bun, which he dipped in the spicy sauce at the bottom of the cold noodles bowl and ate with great relish.
But he muttered, "The taste of this steamed bun is still a little off."
After finishing the cold noodles and soup, Feng Xian burped with satisfaction.
The plate of drunken shrimps was still untouched, so he stood up and walked around twice. When his stomach was a little empty, he started peeling the shrimps and ate them as an after-meal snack.
Feng Xian was eating happily here, while in Yingxian Tower on the other side, Xue Huan was looking at a contract.
The general content of the agreement was that as long as she was willing to accept the employment of Yingxianlou, she would be able to own 10% of the shares of Yingxianlou in the future.
Ye Diao looked at her expectantly from the side. Although he thought he had good conditions, he was not sure that he could impress Xue Huan.
Because of her cooking skills, she is treated with special treatment wherever she goes and people are always fighting for her.
In other words, she herself had no intention of opening a restaurant, otherwise within two months, the title of the number one restaurant in Fengchi County would have fallen to the restaurant she opened.
Xue Huan was very tempted by the 10% stake in Yingxianlou offered by Ye Diao. She had not originally planned to make money by selling chili peppers and recipes. It would be better if she could get some shares in Yingxianlou. In this way, she could be considered to be on the good side of the Ye family and become a community of interests with the Ye family.
But this was just her plan. After all, her chili pepper business had just started. She didn't expect Ye Diao to take the initiative to bring it up so quickly.
She was just reluctant to come to Yingxianlou to work as a cook for the Ye family.
