Chapter 484 The Competition Between Time and Space
Eight Immortals crossing the sea, a dish that is difficult to know from the name.
Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the full name is Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Arhats. It is one of the famous Confucian specialties. It is as famous as another special dish, Buddha Tiaoqiang. The reason why it is not as famous as Buddha Tiaoqiang is because its production process is too cumbersome.
As the first dish at the Confucian Mansion’s birthday banquet, first choose deer tendon, fish lip, shark skin, skirt, abalone, sea cucumber, scallop and prawn as the eight delicacies.
After that, matsutake, sheep bacillus, chicken liver mushroom, chicken matsutake, velvet antler, mushroom bamboo fungus, and chicken lotus mushroom are used as eight treasures.
Finally, prepare an old hen more than three years old, kill the hen to get the eggs, and take the yolk from the hen as the arhat.
Moreover, the above-mentioned materials must be prepared in advance, and only after all the processes are perfectly processed can this real Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Troubling Arhats be made.
It is said that the most authentic Eight Immortals crossing the sea can even make people feel the feeling of being in the air after entering the mouth.
The authentic Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is actually as difficult as the sky. Among all the chefs in China, there are very few chefs who can perfectly reproduce this dish, let alone the simple version of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea requested by Yi Xiaotian.
The simple version of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea seems to be much less difficult, but in fact, the difficulty index is definitely double that of the normal Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
You know, the authentic Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea relies on the addition of these precious ingredients to improve the quality of the whole dish.
But now, Yi Xiaotian asked to only use common ingredients in life to make this Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, which obviously meant making things difficult.
In fact, it was not Yi Xiaotian who took the initiative to make things difficult for these chefs in Shanhaiguan, but this simple version of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, which he had really eaten.
Even which year, which day, or even which hour, Yi Xiaotian was able to give an accurate answer.
He will never forget the shock that the Eight Immortals crossing the sea gave him.
May 08, 5, this day, until now Yi Xiaotian is deeply imprinted in his head.
On this day, on the mountain next to the village, he met a fainted old man, eight-year-old Yi Xiaotian, who carried the old man on his back for two miles before carrying him home.
And after the old man woke up, the reward he gave Yi Xiaotian was this simple version of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
"The simple version of Eight Immortals crossing the sea is interesting!" The old man stood up from his chair, looked at Yi Xiaotian with interest and said.
"If you can name this dish, it seems that you have eaten it before?"
"Can you tell me, what side dishes did you eat in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea?"
Yi Xiaotian nodded, recalled it for a while, and then replied: "Potatoes, corn, cabbage, cucumbers, shiitake mushrooms, yams, plus two kinds of fungi whose names I don't know, and a pheasant."
After hearing Yi Xiaotian's answer, the smile on the old man's face became more intense, and he continued to ask: "Does the person who cooks this dish for you have a goatee and looks quite sinister?"
"The goatee is indeed right, but I didn't see any sinister look on his face." Yi Xiaotian replied.
"He is not sinister, there is no more sinister person in this world." The old man curled his lips and continued: "He is my senior brother, named Jiang Chao."
"I used to be trainee chef No. 59, and my brother was No. 58."
"Damn it, he deliberately lost to me in the final assessment, so he also let me get the position of the owner."
"I was grateful to him at the beginning, but I didn't expect that after working in the position of the owner for a few years, I finally knew why he didn't want to be the owner."
"Hey, this one who kills thousands of swords, I guess he has discussed it with my junior brother a long time ago. He just wants to trick me deliberately and let me sit in the position of the owner of the pavilion. It really pissed me off."
Yi Xiaotian didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer the old man's words, and he didn't want to answer the old man's words.
After venting for a while, the old man finally got back to the topic, he looked at Yi Xiaotian, and said: "Alright, I've always wanted to compare myself with my brother, so I just took this opportunity to see if I am as strong as him now .”
After saying this, the old man turned around and left the kitchen, and walked towards the back of Shanhaiguan.
After a while, he returned to everyone with a pile of ingredients.
While handling the ingredients, the old man asked Yi Xiaotian, "How old were you when you ate this dish?"
"Eight years old." Yi Xiaotian said.
The old man nodded, then looked at Ah San who was staying by the oven, and shouted loudly: "Ah San, bring half a glass of wine and a glass of water."
As for the commotion in the kitchen, Ah San had been watching it all the time. He never expected that someone would actually be able to get the old man to take action.
You know, the old man hasn't cooked any dishes for the guests himself for several years, Ah San even once suspected that the old man would quit his position as restaurant owner early.
When Yi Xiaotian was talking with the old man, the roast duck that Chen Haiyang ordered had already been taken out of the oven. The reason why Ah San stayed beside the oven was that he didn't want to be ordered around, but it was time to come. He can't hide it anyway.
After agreeing, Ah San immediately ran outside, and after a while, handed half a glass of wine and a glass of water ordered by the old man to Yi Xiaotian.
The old man looked at Yi Xiaotian, and said again: "This wine, my unique secret recipe, can clear the stomach and make you feel hungry quickly."
"When you were eight years old, you should be feeling hungry when you ate this dish. I don't want to be taken advantage of by that bastard."
"This water is the water taken from the millennium cold pool, which can temporarily suppress part of your sense of taste."
"When you were eight years old, your sense of taste was not as mature as it is now, and I don't want to take advantage of that bastard."
Yi Xiaotian looked at the old man's solemn attitude, nodded, and drank half a glass of wine and a glass of water into his stomach.
Sure enough, just as the old man said, after drinking the wine and water, Yi Xiaotian really felt a little hungry, and there was indeed a numb feeling in his mouth.
"Very effective." Yi Xiaotian pointed to the two cups and said to the old man.
The old man seemed as if he didn't hear it at all, and he handled the ingredients in his hands on his own, with the word "seriousness" written all over his face, obviously he valued this victory or defeat very much.
Time passed bit by bit, when Shen Yi and Xie Buyu had finished tasting their dishes with admiration, and then ordered another dish, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea that Yi Xiaotian ordered finally appeared in his before.
"This is what you want, a simple version of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly.
