Chapter 567 A table of good dishes
There were three or four dishes on the small table, and only Wang Zhi, Xu Bixi, Qian Rui, Qian Hong, and the hungry Mao Haifeng, Wang Yi and other guard leaders refused to serve.
"I really cook myself... I'll tell you back, I'm afraid that others won't believe me!"
Hearing this sentence, Wang Zhi and Xu Bixi really wanted to strangle Mao Haifeng with big mouths to death. It was a big mistake to bring this guy here today... When I was playing numb before, Mao Haifeng jumped up and down from the side, and his mouth never stopped.
Qian Rui looked at this scene with amusement, turned around and glanced at the mahjong table in the side hall... In this way, he tried his best to make more time. This idea was really imaginative.
Mahjong is far more interesting than other card games in this era. Many people have forgotten the time as they play...
If you play big and calm mind, people will still think of stopping, but if you play small, you will usually not be able to stop the car... In his previous life, Qian Yuan was urged to get married every year during the Chinese New Year. The final way to resist was to play mahjong. My mother would not talk too much while playing with her mouth.
Today I was ready to let my younger sister go to the door, but it didn't work at all... Wang Zhi and Xu Bixi never set the card table from beginning to end, and Xu Bixi didn't even go there until the end.
"The last dish." Qian Yuan walked into the door with a plate and smiled: "In counting the world, in addition to family members, those who can let Qian cook in person are just like Xu Wenchang and other friends in Suiyuan... Oh, you also need to add Your Majesty and Eunuch Huang, the Chief Secretary for Literature."
"Foots are full of affection." Wang stood up and said dryly: "I am really flattered..."
Everyone has come to the end. Except for his family, no one in Zhejiang is qualified to let him cook in person... Even the governor of Zhejiang Direct Hu Zongxian is not worth it.
Qian Rui frowned slightly, saying such an exaggerated way, which made it difficult to cause trouble.
"The owner of the Five Peaks is an exception today." Qian Yuan dared to welcome his father and brother home today, so he was naturally ready and pointed at the table with a smile.
Wang Zhi looked down and said in surprise: "Mr. Longquan is really..."
Mao Haifeng on the side helped to continue talking, "Is it really researched?!"
Xu Bixi was also shocked. He didn't notice that the dishes served were all crops transplanted from overseas to Zhenhai during this period... Ordinary families are all female protagonists and male protagonists. The young man in front of him is famous all over the world, but he likes to dive into the kitchen. I really haven't heard of the second one.
"Everyone sits, and the wine I use today is also extraordinary." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "In the first half of the year, the spirits were sent from Beijing. Qian soaked them in Jiangnan bayberry, and it has been half a year since then."
Qian Hong grinned. When he was just reunited with his wife, he heard that his younger brother and sister who had never met yet was a foodie like his younger brother. At that time, Qi Jiguang sent too many bayberry and was afraid that it would be broken if it could not be finished, so he took it to soak in wine.
"Come on, let's drink a drink first." Qian Yuan raised his glass and said, "It has been nearly four months since June. The owner of Wufeng ship has promised a lot of money and has made great contributions before and after the trade. Qian thanked me here."
"I dare not take it, I dare not take it." Wang Zhi held the cup high in both hands, "I only regret that Longquan Gong was not in Ningbo five years ago, otherwise he would not have been in trouble for several years."
Even if you listen to this kind of words, there was a smile on Qian Rui and Qian Yuan's faces... That time five years ago, Qian Yuan was really in Ningbo.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all. Mao Haifeng smacked his lips and said, "What a strong wine, so powerful!"
"Drink slowly." Qian Yuan picked up the chopsticks and pointed at him, "Come on, try it."
On the table were scrambled eggs with tomatoes, green beans, pine nuts, corn, and a bowl of rib soup, with some vermicelli, and a bowl of fried shredded potatoes and chili peppers that had just been served.
Wang Zhi picked up a piece of tomato, "This one is not mixed with sugar... Well, it smells so good, and it tastes good."
"This is a grain on the golden rod." Mao Haifeng scooped a spoonful of them and chewed them.
Xu Bixi likes the potato shreds the most, "The shreds of meat are so tender, and the chili is not burning."
Qian Yuan laughed and explained that he beat the potatoes into a paste and filtered them carefully, then dried them, and used them specifically for thickening. Although they are not as good as sweet potato flour, they can mix them evenly with the shredded pork and then put them in the pot to lock in moisture and taste naturally and tender.
As for chili peppers, it is not particularly rare in Ningbo, Shaoxing. Qian Yuan specially pulled out the silk silk mandarins of the chili peppers, which didn't taste too spicy... because his father was not very spicy.
"Count it, how many of them are spread from overseas?" Qian Yuan asked with great interest.
"One, two, three, four... four... are just five kinds of peppers." Mao Haifeng's mouth was still so fast.
"I'm wrong, there's another kind." Qian Yuan pretended to be mysterious and pointed at the dish.
"What?"
Everyone opened their eyes and looked closely, but they still didn't notice it.
"Oil." Qian Yuan smiled proudly and said, "The seeds sent by Mr. Fang can make oil, and it is best to use for cooking."
Wang Zhi's eyes lit up. Rape oil was widely used in the Ming Dynasty, usually rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and tea oil. This was also a frequent visitor on maritime purchasing orders.
"Don't think about it, it's a pity that it's more troublesome to squeeze out." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "By the way, let's talk about it, how is the situation on Luzon Island?"
Wang Zhi stopped the cup and smiled bitterly: "The first time I was bribing the local natives to get a basket, but when I went to sea, I was detained by Westerners and fined silver. The second time I sent a small boat to grab it, but I robbed a lot of it. Unfortunately, I was sunk and lost three brothers."
"It is said that the thing is regarded as a treasure by Westerners, and it is very tightly seen. Where did Mr. Longquan hear it?"
"Last year, I went south and listened to a Fujian businessman in Hangzhou." Qian Yuan talked nonsense and recalled in his mind that potatoes and sweet potatoes were buried underground. He vaguely remembered that one of them was planted with vines.
Now it has been confirmed that potatoes are cut into pieces, so they should be sweet potatoes... Qian Yuan described it carefully, and Wang Zhi patted his chest to ensure... This is the third time.
"Mr. Qian, the yield of this potato is quite high and tastes good..." Xu Bixi asked in confusion: "A few days ago, my adoptive father was going to distribute it to farmers, why..."
Alas, in order to gain a good reputation, Wang Zhi transported a ship of potatoes back from the sea and prepared to distribute them to the villagers... After all, the yield is high, and it is drought-resistant and easy to survive, but Qian Yuan immediately stopped him when he heard the news.
Qian Yuan glared at Xu Bixi, "Why? Mr. Fang didn't tell you?"
"Toxic." Qian Rui said slowly: "Under normal circumstances, it's okay to eat raw, but once it sprouts, the pain will be unbearable, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and coma."
While talking about Qian Rui, he glanced at Qian Yuan without attracting attention. This was what the youngest son told him... he didn't know where the news came from.
Later, Qian Rui confirmed that it was true.
Wang Zhi said in a deep voice: "Although the trade has been opened, the sea ban has not been opened. Once such a thing is spread, there will inevitably be a storm. Wang has ordered the ship of potato to be sealed."
Regardless of whether someone will die or not, as long as there is something wrong, the court's censor will impeach it and there will be more crimes... Although Qian Yuan is not afraid, he does not want to cause trouble. This is also the reason why he was disappointed that day and saw that it was potatoes rather than sweet potatoes.
"Try it to the restaurant directly." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "It's not much money, at worst... Brother Mao went to the restaurant again in the future and didn't charge the cash."
Regardless of Mao Haifeng's repeated nodding, Wang Zhi waved his hand and said, "I'll give it to Mr. Longquan."
Wang Zhi is not afraid of Qian Yuan being greedy, but is afraid of Qian Yuan not greedy!
