Chapter 242 Routine
Spring is here, and Su Luoshan’s choice of Xiangxi Pavilion is very appropriate.
The creeping roses along the walls were in full bloom, and there were also quite a few magnolia trees with lavender flowers.
You can see the scenery outside and smell the fragrance of flowers by opening the window in the yard.
"Sister Luo Shan knows how to pick. Let's go and sit for a while before having dinner and trying our farm's special dishes." Huanxi walked in front, explaining some flowers on the road as she walked.
Yu Yan would add a sentence from time to time, adding another artistic conception to the courtyard.
Su Luoshan listened attentively, but Chen Yunrui remained silent and no one knew what he was thinking.
When we arrived at the main hall of Xiangxi Pavilion, the tableware had already been set.
He Yuanyuan stood nearby and asked everyone to sit down.
"With such a grand ceremony, I'm quite curious about what the food tastes like." Chen Yunrui said after sitting down and looking at the tableware on the table.
Huanxi gave He Yuanyuan a look, and she clapped her hands towards the door. Several people in uniform came in, each bringing a dish.
"Welcome, my two distinguished guests, to our Shuxiangju. Let me introduce you to the specialties of our Shuxiangju. Our specialty is Sichuan cuisine, which is famous for its eight major flavors: numbing, spicy, fresh, fragrant, sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. Please take a look:"
"This first dish uses a freshly slaughtered pig from the countryside that morning. We cut off the pig's ears, braised it, and then poured it with our homemade honey sauce. It's delicious, fragrant, and spicy..."
"Hmm...it smells so good..."
In addition to the red oil pig ears, there was also mouth-watering chicken and a dish of sad jelly on the table.
"These dishes are all seasoned with our secret recipe. Let's try them. Do you like them?" Huanxi gestured for them to come in. With a glance, he instructed He Yuanyuan to serve all the dishes.
After He Yuanyuan understood what was meant, she left and went to the kitchen to urge the food to be prepared.
Leave Huanxi to accompany Yu Yan.
Chen Yunrui also smelled the scent that seduced him. Even though he was not very hungry, he still picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of his ear.
As soon as he took a bite, he felt a rich... delicious taste that he didn't know how to describe. The firm and elastic meat of the pig ears was not too greasy. On the contrary, the crispy bones inside the ears added a refreshing taste.
"Hmm... How is this made? What is this red thing?"
He was a businessman after all, and a businessman's sense of smell was extremely sharp. After just one taste of this dish, he knew that if his own Treasure Pavilion had this...
"Mr. Chen, eat first. This is just the appetizer. There's more to come... How about we finish eating and ask together?"
At this time, He Yuanyuan also came back. She waved her hand, and several servants came in with dishes that almost filled the table.
"This is tofu fish, this is yellow wine roast duck, and this is dry pot chicken. What's special about these dishes is that they are all delicious when hot, so I specially used a shallow clay pot with charcoal underneath so that they can be heated for a long time without getting cold."
The house was heated, so it was almost warm now. Just now, Chen Yunrui wanted to ask why the yard was so warm, but now that he saw such a novel design, he asked her why.
"When this courtyard was built, I had the craftsmen add floor heating and wall heating. Since they've only been turned on for a short time, they're not warm enough yet. In another half an hour, we'll only be able to wear light clothing in this room."
"So that's how it is. Miss Zhao is really clever..." After saying that, she picked up a few hot dishes with chopsticks, and her pupils dilated a little in an instant.
If the cold dishes are already unique, then these hot dishes are simply amazing.
He had eaten all over Shang'an Prefecture and had even been to the capital many times, but he had never tasted the delicacies here.
"Cousin, try the fish, it's delicious. The tofu pudding inside is even more delicious. Sister Huanxi, how is this made? It's a little hot at first, but after a few bites, you can't stop." Su Luoshan hasn't stopped talking since the dish was served.
Now she finally got the chance and kept talking about the taste of the food.
Finally, there were two hot soups, eight-treasure chicken soup and sour radish and old duck soup.
There are also one or two desserts, osmanthus yam, and brown sugar rice cake.
Xiaoyue, who was serving behind Su Luoshan, couldn't help swallowing...
"Xiaoyue, you should sit down and eat too. We can't finish all the food on this table. And Sister Yuanyuan, you should sit down and eat with us too."
Xiaoyue immediately waved her hand and said, "Miss, this is not possible..."
Chen Yunrui continued, "Since your young lady asked you to sit down, just sit down. Since you're out here to have fun, we'll sort out the rules when we get back..."
Xiaoyue wanted to refuse, but Su Luoshan pulled her to sit down. He Yuanyuan went to the side to get two new sets of tableware and sat down as well.
The more Chen Yunrui ate, the more delicious the dishes tasted, and he also felt that Zhenxiu Pavilion was not as good as this place.
Whether it was the taste or the environment, he had always thought that Zhenxiu Pavilion was one of the best in town, but now... there are always people better than you.
"Your dishes are really delicious. I wonder how you came up with these dishes?"
Huanxi pointed at her lips and said with a smile:
"It's all about my mouth. Because I love to eat, I love to research."
At this moment, Chen Yunrui had a very bold idea in his mind, and he immediately said it out loud:
"Will you sell this recipe?"
Huanxi laughed twice: "Sell, but only three. And even if I sell you the recipe, you still can't make it..."
Without chili peppers, it would be useless even if you knew the details of the process. After all, this is how she got here...
Chen Yunrui also knew that the red thing added here was the essence. His eyes became more and more fervent, and he said:
"So, are you going to sell this red thing?"
"I don't have much of this stuff, and it's already barely enough to supply Shuxiangju..."
"I offer a high price..."
"It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, it's mainly because I really don't have much. This thing is precious, and I found it by chance."
Chen Yunrui frowned. He doesn't sell this, and he doesn't sell that. Isn't this pure seduction?
He didn't think this woman was just showing off.
Huanxi was secretly delighted when she saw his expression. The dried chilies in her warehouse only weighed a few dozen kilograms in total. In the past few days, Suyun had already grown new chili seedlings. In two days, large-scale planting would be possible. In other words, it wouldn't be long before she could achieve chili freedom.
She also wanted to get the villagers to plant some. By the time there were too many peppers, they would naturally be less valuable, so she had to pave the way for the peppers in advance.
"I can sell it to you, but you have to wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"You can come and get it in three months."
"Is Fangzi still this red one?"
Huanxi smiled and said, "Now that we don't have this thing, it's useless for you to just take the recipe back, right? But... I can sell you a delicious recipe that doesn't have this thing."
"Oh? If we don't have this thing, do we still need to buy it?"
"No, wait until tomorrow. I'll have the kitchen make two dishes for you to choose from. I'll sell whichever one you choose. Okay?"
He believed that this woman would not let him down. After all, the food on the table said it all.
"It's a word."
