Chapter 221

Clear porridge or sweet soup, cold noodles, and fried rice cakes with taro. Taken individually, they all know these three meals, but this is the first time they have seen and eaten this kind of food. , everyone looked at Wei Zhi with admiration and praised him. They all felt that the food cooked by Wei Zhi was better than the food cooked by Master Li.

The shopkeeper was very happy, and said: "This food, not to mention Qingyun City, is other places I have been to, and I have never seen it. Young Master Wei, I haven't asked yet, where are you from?"

Wei Zhi said: "I am from Yan State."

"Yan Guo!" The shopkeeper was stunned.

Wei Zhi said, "Yes."

Everyone looked at Wei Zhi in surprise, coming to Qingyun City from a place as far away as Yan Country.

The shopkeeper asked: "You are from the country of Yan, why did you come here?"

Wei Zhi said: "He came to Qingyun Academy to learn from his teacher."

The shopkeeper said, "You came alone?"

Wei Zhi nodded, the shopkeeper and others couldn't believe it.

After the meal, Wei Zhi continued to cook. The shopkeeper went out and came back, so he went to Wei Zhi and said, "Young Master Wei, we have to go out for a while. The people on the competition side want to see the cook of the inn, and they want to know who it is." Play on behalf of Master Li."

Hearing this, Wei Zhi nodded and said, "OK."

Wei Zhi followed the shopkeeper and left the inn. The carriage walked all the way for a long time. Wei Zhi and the shopkeeper got out of the carriage and entered a big house. There were many people in the main hall of the big house, and those people were Qingyun City Inn Restaurant The inn where Wei Zhi is staying is called Qingfeng Inn. The shopkeeper Xu of Qingfeng Inn briefly told Wei Zhi who the people in the main hall were, and then took Wei Zhi to go quickly.

Everyone in the main hall saw shopkeeper Xu bringing a child over, and they all looked puzzled. After shopkeeper Xu made a sound, someone asked, "Treasurer Xu, where is the cook at Qingfeng Inn?"

Shopkeeper Xu stepped aside and said, "This is Wei Zhi, our new cook at Qingfeng Inn."

Wei Zhi imitated shopkeeper Xu's appearance, and bowed his hands to the people in the main hall, but everyone looked at Wei Zhi, heard what shopkeeper Xu said, and then froze, looking at shopkeeper Xu with disbelief, as if thinking that shopkeeper Xu Are you crazy?

Shopkeeper Xu also saw the eyes of those people, and couldn't help frowning.

Wei Zhi didn't care, and someone said, "Master Xu, what are you talking about? Master Li of the Qingfeng Inn is injured, so why don't you find a kid to handle the spoon?"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Young Master Wei's cooking skills are very good."

The crowd was stunned.

They all looked at shopkeeper Xu as if they were looking at a fool.

"Master Xu, are you sure?"

Shopkeeper Xu said, "Sure."

"Don't you regret it?" someone said.

Shopkeeper Xu said: "No."

At this time, the first elder said: "Master Xu, think twice."

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Mr. Lin, I know."

The old man said: "Is it him?"

Shopkeeper Xu nodded.

The old man didn't say anything, just said: "Okay."

The rest of the people in the main hall shook their heads and looked at shopkeeper Xu. It seemed that Master Li was injured, and the blow to shopkeeper Xu was too great. In this competition, Qingfeng Inn can be nothing to fear.

Someone advised Shopkeeper Xu: "Quit."

So as not to make jokes from time to time and lose face even more.

Shopkeeper Xu shook his head.

The man left with a sigh.

Wei Zhi and Shopkeeper Xu returned to Qingfeng Inn. Shopkeeper Xu asked Wei Zhi: "Young Master Wei, do you have a chance of winning this competition?"

"Don't worry, the gold plaque is definitely from Qingfeng Inn." Wei Zhi said.

Shopkeeper Xu nodded and said, "Okay."

Calabash said from the side: "But what if we lose?"

Wei Zhi said: "There is no such thing as a chance."

Shopkeeper Xu glared at the gourd.

Hulu didn't see Shopkeeper Xu's eyes, and just continued: "But what if something happens?"

Wei Zhi said: "If it happens, I will beat all the cooks to death."

Shopkeeper Xu twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

Hulu was also dripping sweat from the back of his head, and both of them only thought Wei Zhi was joking.

Shopkeeper Xu said: "I went to inquire again, Mr. Wei, this time the question may really be pasta."

Wei Zhi nodded: "I see."

"Hulu, follow me." Wei Zhi went out of the inn.

Hulu listened, and glanced at Shopkeeper Xu, who asked, "Young Master Wei, where are you going?"

Wei Zhi said: "Go to the market."

Shopkeeper Xu nodded, and Wei Zhi left with the gourd.Tomorrow's competition, Qingyun Academy will open the test the day after tomorrow, so there's still time.

At the market, Gourd followed Wei Zhi and asked, "Young Master Wei, what shall we buy?"

Wei Zhi said: "Didn't it mean that it might be pasta, buy rice noodles."

Hulu said: "But there are rice noodles in the inn."

Wei Zhi said: "Do you have bean noodles, buckwheat noodles, or oat noodles in the inn?"

Calabash thought for a while and said, "No."

There are only rice noodles in the inn.

Wei Zhi said: "That's why I bought it."

Hulu nodded.

Wei Zhi said: "What kind of food does your inn have?"

Gourd told Wei Zhidu what dishes there were, and Wei Zhi said: "What is Master Li's best dish?"

Hulu said: "Master Li's best dish is fish, followed by noodles."

Wei Zhi nodded, went to a rice noodle shop, and asked the shopkeeper: "Do you have bean noodles here?"

The shopkeeper said, "No, but there are green beans."

Wei Zhi asked again: "Do you have buckwheat noodles?"

The shopkeeper said: "There are buckwheat, but not buckwheat noodles."

Wei Zhi had no choice but to look elsewhere, Hulu said: "Buckwheat noodles don't taste good."

Wei Zhi said: "That also depends on who is cooking."

Hulu doesn’t know what to say, buckwheat noodles, bean noodles, etc. are actually not easy to make noodles, but steamed cakes are okay, especially bean noodles, won’t they melt once they are put in the pot?

After walking around, I finally found a rice noodle shop that sells buckwheat noodles and bean noodles. "Young master Wei, can the meals you cook be included in the menu of Qingfeng Inn in the future?"

Wei Zhi said, "Of course."

Hulu happily said: "The shopkeeper must be very happy to know."

Wei Zhi waved his hand nonchalantly, told the storekeeper of the rice noodle shop to fill up the buckwheat noodles, and left the rice noodle shop with the gourd. As he was walking, someone suddenly called Wei Zhi: "Wei Zhi!"

Hearing Mo Yan's voice, Wei Zhi looked over, and it really was Mo Yan.

"Wei Zhi, why are you here?" Mo Yan came up and asked.

Wei Zhi said, "Oh, I'm here to buy ingredients."

Mo Yan said: "Where are you now?"

Wei Zhi said: "Qingfeng Inn, do you know?"

Mo Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "I know."

Wei Zhi said, "I'm right there."

Mo Yan said: "Are you the cook of Qingfeng Inn now?"

"That's right." Wei Zhi saw the winter melon seller next to him, and walked over.

Mo Yan followed Wei Zhi and said, "That's good."

Wei Zhi said: "By the way, why don't you study anymore?"

Mo Yan said: "Will there be an inn competition in Qingyun City tomorrow? I'll come out and take a look."

Wei Zhi said: "The competition is only tomorrow, why did you come out today? Qingyun Academy doesn't care?"

Mo Yan said: "As long as you don't leave Qingyun's boundary."

Wei Zhi understands, it seems that the entire Qingyun land belongs to the Mohists?This inkstone is also pitiful, Wei Zhi said: "Okay, tomorrow I will compete on behalf of Qingfeng Inn."

Hearing this, Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"Tomorrow I will compete on behalf of Qingfeng Inn."

Mo Yan couldn't believe it: "Where is the cook at Qingfeng Inn?"

Wei Zhi said: "It is said that he fell off the horse and broke his arm."

Hu Lu watched Wei Zhi and Mo Yan talking, with a low sense of presence.

Mo Yan said: "So, let you represent the cook of Qingfeng Inn?"

Wei Zhi said: "That's right."

Mo Yan didn't know what to say. He was a little worried: "Are you out of money?"

Wei Zhi: "Why do you say that?"

Mo Yan said: "The contestants are all culinary masters, did the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Inn promise to give you money?"

Wei Zhi shook his head: "No, what you mean is that you think I can't win?"

Mo Yan stopped talking.

Wei Zhi bought a winter melon, and after a while, someone came and called Mo Yan away. Seeing Mo Yan leave, Hulu asked Wei Zhi, "Master Wei, is that young man from Qingyun Academy?"

Wei Zhi nodded: "That's right."

Hulu said: "It looks like you have an extraordinary status."

Wei Zhi said: "It's really extraordinary, saying it will scare you to death."

Sweat dripped from the back of Gourd's head: "Young Master Wei, please tell me."

Wei Zhi didn't say anything, but continued to walk forward, and went to see the sheep's head seller again.

When the ingredients were almost bought, Wei Zhi saw a noodle restaurant and walked in with a gourd. The second came over, "What do you two eat?"

Wei Zhi said: "What kind of pasta do you have here?"

Xiaoer said: "There are stewed noodles, oil-splashed noodles, scallion pancakes, leek noodles, pumpkin steamed buns, bean dregs steamed buns, tomato noodles, scallion oil noodles, cold noodles, stewed noodles, soup noodles, pork rib noodles, shredded fish noodles, two people Look, what to eat."

Hulu didn't remember anything when he heard it, so he remembered the last shredded fish noodles, but Wei Zhi thought about it and said, "One serving of pumpkin steamed buns, two servings of pork rib noodles, two servings of shredded fish noodles, and two servings of cold noodles." One serving, one serving of bean dregs steamed buns."

Xiao Er nodded and said, "Okay, sit here, both of you."

Wei Zhi and Hulu sat down, Hulu said: "Young Master Wei, I won't eat."

Wei Zhi ignored his words, the pumpkin steamed buns were served first, they were golden, Wei Zhi tasted them, it smelled of brown sugar, it seemed that brown sugar was added, sweet but not greasy, it was not bad.

Then came cold noodles, cold noodles with vinegar, very appetizing, the only downside was that it was too spicy, too much chili was put in, the spicy and vinegar should be decided by the diners themselves, the pork rib noodles are very light, but Fortunately, the bone broth was boiled very well and tasted good, followed by bean dregs steamed buns, which had a bean aroma, and the steamed buns did not contain salt or sugar, which did not taste as good as pumpkin steamed buns. Finally, there was shredded fish noodles. I don’t know what kind of fish they used. , no thorns, the soup seems to be boiled with fish bones, with shredded fish on top, which is also very good. After eating these pasta, Wei Zhi had some worries in his heart, and decided to go back and change it for himself.

The pumpkin steamed buns and bean dregs steamed buns were not finished. Wei Zhi took the gourd and was about to leave. At this time, a beggar came in outside the noodle shop. He looked at Wei Zhi's table, then walked over, holding the bowl in front of the gourd. The beggar It seemed that he couldn't speak, but when Hulu was about to drive him away, Wei Zhi raised his hand and said, "Take away the steamed buns on the table."

After hearing this, the beggar ran to the table and snatched the bun away.

Gourd said: "Young Master Wei, most of these beggars are thieves."

Wei Zhi heard this and said, "How do you know?"

Calabash said, "I've heard people say it."

Wei Zhi couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Don't listen to others, go and see for yourself."

Hulu didn't say anything, but saw the beggar who took away the steamed buns, sat on the side of the road, and began to share steamed buns with other beggars. Chased away by the inn workers and him, he never observed them himself.

Seeing that Wei Zhi didn't seem ready to go back to the Breeze Inn, Hulu asked, "What ingredients does Young Master Wei need to buy?"

Wei Zhi said, "Buy potatoes and dried sweet potatoes."

"Potatoes? Dried sweet potatoes?" Hulu asked, "Is buying these also related to pasta?"

Wei Zhi said: "That's right."

Gourd didn't say anything, just carried the ingredients honestly.

Potatoes are easy to buy, but dried sweet potatoes are not. When Wei Zhi heard about a grocery store, he took gourds there. He thought that there would be no such thing. Who knew that this grocery store had dried sweet potatoes, Wei Zhi said: "Do you have sweet potatoes?"

The shopkeeper said, "Yes, it's over here."

Wei Zhi went over, looked at it, and bought half of it. The gourd was almost out of reach, and Wei Zhi seemed to have finally bought it. He walked back, but he didn’t leave. There was an old man selling river prawns next to him. Wei Zhi passed by, and the gourd was about to vomit blood. He was almost out of money. He came in a hurry and hadn't taken the money from the shopkeeper.

The river prawns in the barrel were still alive, Wei Zhi looked at them and asked the old man who sold the river prawns: "These are the only river prawns left?"

The old man said: "Also, here."

As he said that, the old man asked Wei Zhi to look at a wooden basin with a lid next to it. There were still a lot of river prawns in the wooden basin, but it was smaller than the ones in the wooden barrel. Wei Zhi said: "There are half of these .”

The old man packed the shrimp in a sack and handed it to Wei Zhi, and the gourd gave the silver. Wei Zhi held the bag and said, "Let's go back to the inn."

Hearing this, Hulu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, otherwise there will be no money.

Qingfeng Inn, the shopkeeper went out for business, Hulu moved the ingredients to the kitchen, Wei Zhi was washing vegetables in the backyard of the inn, a big elm tree was planted in the backyard of the inn, there were countless cicadas on the elm tree, screaming ears Pain, Wei Zhi thought, cicadas seem to be able to eat, just as he was thinking, he saw a young cicada slowly walking towards the big elm tree in front of him, Wei Zhi looked at the sky, the sun had not set yet, this young cicada After running out, Wei Zhi grabbed it and threw it into the water. The gourd came over and saw Wei Zhi throwing the cicada into the water, so he asked, "Why did you throw it into the water, little master Wei?"

Wei Zhi said: "Get ready to cook."

The gourd said, this cicada is indeed edible, but there is only one.

Wei Zhi asked him to grind the sweet potatoes, then cut the potatoes, shredded the potatoes, brought them to the side of the gourd, and said, "The sweet potatoes are finished, use a small stone to turn these potato shreds too."

"Ah?" Hulu thought he heard it wrong, how could this shredded potato be put on a stone mill?

Wei Zhi said: "Turn the potato shreds with a small stone."

Hulu felt that Wei Zhi was wasting food, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded: "Okay."

Hulu was very puzzled. When he was wondering, he saw that Wei Zhi mixed buckwheat noodles, soybean noodles and oat noodles together. He was stunned, not understanding what kind of pasta Wei Zhi was going to make.

However, what surprised him even more was that Wei Zhi poured the grated potatoes into a wooden bucket, and then began to add water to the wooden bucket. He couldn't help asking carefully: "Young master Wei, what are you going to cook?" ?”
