Seeing the joy on Jia Dongsheng's face, Xu Damao knew that his three bottles of wine had touched Jia Dongsheng's heart.
"Dongsheng, how is it? Are you satisfied?"
Perhaps knowing that Jia Dongsheng was very satisfied, Xu Damao couldn't help but say something in a seemingly generous tone: "If you are not satisfied, just tell me and I will get you two more bottles."
"What?"
"Can you get two more bottles?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongsheng would not be polite to Xu Damao. After all, these wines were all private collections of a wealthy man, and he would rather give them away than let them go.
"Then it's settled."
Jia Dongsheng laughed heartily and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, saying excitedly, "Haha, you're really nice."
"I was just joking."
At this moment, the expression on Xu Damao's face vividly demonstrated what it means to be unable to cry.
"Well, that's easy to say. You like good wine, so I'll get you two more bottles."
There was no other way. At this moment, Sha Zhu was watching from the side, so Xu Damao had to agree stubbornly. After all, he was a man from the city of Beijing who cared about his reputation.
"Okay, as long as you say that, it's fine."
Jia Dongsheng nodded and asked with a smile, "Da Mao, when will your lamb arrive? I have to tell you that my roasted whole lamb takes a little longer to prepare. You have to give it to me at least three hours in advance since you are opening the banquet at twelve o'clock."
"No problem, everything has been ordered. The lamb will be delivered at 8 o'clock. Besides that, there are some other ingredients."
"You don't need to tell me anything else. That's the job of the chef you hired. I'll help you prepare the roasted whole lamb today."
Jia Dongsheng didn't care about other ingredients. In this era, what good ingredients could be found for a wedding? Chicken, duck, fish and meat would be enough.
"By the way, Dongsheng, what else are the eight delicacies you mentioned before besides camel?"
Unexpectedly, after being interrupted by Sha Zhu, Xu Damao still asked this question tirelessly.
"Haha, do you want to know?" Jia Dongsheng smiled and asked.
"Yes."
This is a topic related to bragging, how could Xu Damao not want to know?
"If you miss me, go ask Sha Zhu. If he can answer, you'll know."
Jia Dongsheng, clutching a wine box, was in no mood to discuss this topic with him. Before leaving, he added, "If Sha Zhu can't answer, you can mock him. What kind of chef is he if he doesn't know how to make the Eight Delicacies?"
"Yes."
Jia Dongsheng's words before he left really made Xu Damao's eyes light up. He turned his head instantly and looked at Sha Zhu, who was actually imitating Bang Geng and learning horse stance, and immediately walked over.
"Silly Zhu, I've just learned something about cooking and I want to test you. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Xu Damao acted like he was very impressive, as if he really knew about the Eight Delicacies.
"You still want to test me on cooking knowledge?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's thick eyebrows immediately stood up, and he glared with a pair of bull eyes: "Are you getting cocky? You actually want to test my cooking knowledge?"
"Tell me, do you want to be beaten again? I can satisfy you."
"Shazhu, don't do anything. We are all civilized people." Xu Damao took two steps back in fear and shouted in a timid voice.
"If you don't want to be beaten, just get out of here. You even want to test my cooking knowledge. Do you have what it takes?"
After scolding Xu Damao, Sha Zhu continued to learn the horse stance, but without an expert to teach him, he could only imitate the form but not the spirit.
"Silly Zhu, if you can answer that, I'll give you a bottle of good wine."
"I don't care, get out of here."
At this time, Sha Zhu was most interested in practicing martial arts, and other things, even alcohol, had to be put aside.
Unfortunately, at this time, Jia Dongsheng, who was happy to get three bottles of good wine, returned to the house and called out to Banggeng, "Banggeng, come back and wash your face. It's time to eat."
"Here I come, Second Uncle."
Knowing that he didn't need to continue doing the horse stance, Bang Geng almost jumped up. As for why he didn't jump up, it was of course because his legs were weak and he couldn't jump up.
Afterwards, Banggeng limped into the house, which made Shazhu confused. He was practicing with great enthusiasm, but the teacher left. How could he continue practicing?
"Silly Zhu, come on, you are not cut out for martial arts training, nor for cooking. You don't even dare to fight me when I ask you some questions about cooking." Xu Damao sarcastically said from the side.
"Who told you I wouldn't dare?"
Sha Zhu turned his head and looked at Xu Damao: "Okay, ask. If I can answer, I want two bottles of good wine, which must be of the same level as the one I gave to Dongsheng."
"What if you can't answer it?" Xu Damao asked calmly.
Xu Damao no longer cared about agreeing to buy two more bottles of wine. As the saying goes, too many lice won't bite. It doesn't matter whether it's two bottles or four bottles. He doesn't care.
"If I can't answer, you can do whatever you want."
For Sha Zhu, there was no cooking knowledge that he didn't know. As long as it was cooking-related knowledge, there was nothing he didn't know. So, on this point, he never thought about losing and was very confident.
"Okay, in that case, even if you lose, you still have to get me two bottles of good wine, how about that?"
"Not very good, I can't get it." Although Sha Zhu was confident that he would not lose, he was a very serious person. How could he bet on something that he could not get out?
"If you can't get it, just get something ordinary, like Moutai, but you have to get me four bottles, how about that?" Xu Damao suggested again.
“That’s fine.”
Although Moutai is very expensive and Moutai wine tickets are difficult to obtain, they can still be obtained as long as one finds a way, so Sha Zhu agreed.
"Ask me, I want to hear what you can say about cooking."
“It’s very simple.”
Although Xu Damao was unsure in his heart, he looked confident: "Shazhu, what are the eight treasures in the ingredients?"
"Eight Treasures?"
"Hahahaha... I thought it was just a joke. You're so confident. It's actually such a simple question. You're really making me laugh to death."
Unexpectedly, when Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao's question, he burst into laughter. His laughter was so exaggerated that tears were about to come out of the corners of his eyes.
It can be seen that this problem is a big joke in Sha Zhu's view.
Xu Damao felt even more uneasy after hearing this laughter, but he couldn't help but ask stubbornly, "If it's that simple, then why don't you tell me about it?"
"Then listen carefully. The eight delicacies in the ingredients are camel hump, bear paw, monkey head, deer tendon, bird's nest, ape lips, and yellow lip glue."
Sha Zhu confidently recited a long list of names, but after hearing him finish, Xu Damao asked again, "Go on."
"continue?"
"Continue what?"
"Didn't I just finish talking?"
Sha Zhu was a little puzzled and looked at Xu Damao in doubt, as if to say, "Didn't you hear clearly? Is there something wrong with your ears? Why are you still asking me to speak?"
