The song of righteousness that has been circulated for five thousand years is a serious warning to the world. Not to mention that Wen Gong has not yet been born. Even if he is born, I am afraid he will have to wait until one or two hundred years later in prison before he can do anything.
Gudong.
Xu Hanliang wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and when he saw that the fire was almost done, he spoke.
"Mr. Li is indeed a great talent. Mr. Xu is willing to give up. Brother Li will definitely be able to get the first place next year. I hope that in the coming year, Brother Li will not forget these heartfelt words today. I have already had half of my wine today. Unfortunately, although the wine is average, I can still barely drink it, but this time
The food was not satisfactory.”
"Better than nothing, better than nothing."
Xu Hanliang drank all the wine in the glass, and then wanted to pick up a piece of meat, but put down his chopsticks helplessly.
Hearing this, everyone was startled, obviously not expecting Xu Hanliang to suddenly say this.
After all, the wine in Red Mansion is a fine wine, and the beauties and stir-fried vegetables are even more special. These are the three specialties of Red Mansion, which are famous far and wide. It is a pity that Xu Hanliang drank most of the wine without even using his chopsticks. Could it be that the stir-fried dishes are really hard to swallow?
Not successful?
Li Zhongwen on the side subconsciously picked up a pair of chopsticks.
But it tastes as good as ever.
"Ziyou, could it be that you have a bad appetite today? Changshu is quite famous for the stir-fried dishes at Red Mansion, and they are very particular about the ingredients they use. Ziyou, please don't talk nonsense."
Li Zhongwen said kindly.
Li Gang also nodded. Although it was his first time to come to Red Mansion, Li Gang had traveled far away before. However, the stir-fried dishes at Changshu Red Mansion were delicious and a rare delicacy. However, he didn't know why Brother Xu couldn't taste it.
.
"Is Mr. Xu dissatisfied with my cooking at the Red House?"
At this time, a voice sounded behind several people.
Xu Hanliang turned around and saw that the person speaking was a short, fat, middle-aged man wearing a leather hat.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"I, Sun Chengde, am the owner of half of the Red House. The young masters are talking about important matters. Sun didn't intend to interrupt. It's just that Mr. Xu said that the food in the Red House is not to my liking, so he started to argue."
"Young Master Li Zhongwen is right. I am very particular about the materials used in Red Mansion and strive for excellence. However, I don't know what is wrong with Young Master Xu, but I want to slander it more in words."
Sun Dongjia's voice was not loud, but there was anger hidden in his voice.
Originally, although this food ranks third among the three specialties of Red Mansion, it is also the signature of Red Mansion.
The Mr. Xu in front of him is obviously the most conspicuous person among this wave of scholars. If it is a compliment, of course Mr. Sun will be happy to accept it, but the evaluation is negative. If it spreads, it may become negative publicity.
"It turns out to be Mr. Sun's family. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful."
Xu Hanliang smiled and stood up.
"Don't worry too much, Mr. Sun. I don't mean to denigrate the dishes at Red House. The cooking at Red House is of course of high quality, and it's clear that the ingredients used are exquisite. However, in my opinion, it lacks a bit of umami, and the seasonings are only simple."
of salt."
"It just so happens that I have an ancestral craft in my family that can be used for seasoning. If you don't believe what I say, you might as well give it a try."
Xu Hanliang shook his head. Seeing that he had successfully aroused the curiosity of everyone present, he reached into his arms and took out a little MSG from a small jar. The white crystals attracted everyone's attention as soon as he took them out.
force.
"Mr. Xu, this is..."
Shopkeeper Sun didn't know why.
Xu Hanliang smiled and motioned for him to sit down for a moment, then sprinkled the MSG on a plate of stir-fried vegetables and stirred it gently.
Xu Hanliang immediately made a gesture of invitation.
Boss Sun hesitated slightly, but Li Zhongwen beside him couldn't help but stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite. As soon as he chewed the dish, Li Zhongwen's eyes suddenly widened.
He felt a delicious taste that he had never experienced before exploded on his taste buds. The taste was indescribably delicious.
"How does it taste?"
Xu Hanliang smiled.
"It's fragrant and delicious. Where did you come from the secret recipe? The taste is simply amazing." Li Zhongwen gave a thumbs up and then devoured it.
Li Gang was also stunned for a moment, picked up a pair of chopsticks, but had the same expression.
The three of them were the focus of everyone's attention. Seeing Li Gang and Li Zhongwen eating with such disregard for their image, a group of literati came over and almost surrounded them.
"Come and try it. Don't be offended by the word."
"I want it too. You wait for it to come together. Don't eat alone."
"Oh, it's an insult to politeness, it's an insult to politeness, why don't you leave a bite for me?"
For a moment, a group of scholars stretched out their chopsticks desperately. Xu Hanliang had no choice but to pour MSG into the dishes several times again, and then he barely allowed everyone to taste it.
But in the eyes of his boss, Sun Chengde, this scene of fighting was completely blinded.
He is a very confident owner of Red Mansion cuisine.
However, no matter how delicious it is, there is a limit after all. How can we let this group of scholars who are accustomed to Red Mansion cuisine ignore the competition for image?
Sun Chengde took a sip of it doubtfully, but then his eyes bulged and he was stunned.
This taste...
Sun Chengde hesitated for a few seconds, and then his eyes fell on the vial in Xu Hanliang's hand, but he couldn't move it away.
"Mr. Xu, I don't know about this thing."
Sun Chengde rubbed his hands, with no trace of anger in his eyes.
"Dong Sun is laughing at you. This is a little gadget passed down from my family for seasoning. If my boss likes it, you can try it. In this way, today's poetry meeting is almost over. Everyone, Xu will go first."
Xu Hanliang threw down the bottomed vial very proudly, and then he cupped his hands towards Li Gang. After making an appointment to talk later, he pulled Li Zhongwen out and walked out.
Sun Chengde obviously did not expect that Xu Hanliang would leave all the seasonings. When he reacted, Xu Hanliang had already disembarked. However, Sun Chengde did not think much and rushed to the kitchen immediately.
"Why is Ziyou so generous? The seasoning is so miraculous and has the power to turn decay into magic. The boss got the benefit for free. In my opinion, even if Ziyou asked for real money, the boss Sun would be willing to pay."
Along the way, Li Zhongwen was still savoring the delicious food on his tongue.
No matter how stupid he is, no matter how stupid he is, Li Zhongwen still knows that that little seasoning is amazing.
But Xu Hanliang shook his head, but smiled and said nothing.
Of course you have to make money.
But Li Zhongwen never dreamed that the free one would be the most expensive one.
