364 Wine for State Banquets (5,000-word chapter)(1/2)

The water quality of Ajie Lake seems to be getting clearer and clearer. Although it used to be very clear, it always felt that it lacked a kind of spiritual fortune. Now the water here seems to have a temperament. When the wind blows, it will smile "swingingly".

The old man in the village said that this was because he met a noble man. The old saying goes, "Water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual." This dragon is Master Zhou, the dragon among people!

The establishment of the winery directly saved the economy of Fengqi Village. Now, not only the girls who stumbled on music in the winery have become rich women in the eyes of people from other villages, but some young men who are unemployed have also found a living. Not only do they contract the winery's work, but they can also resell the lees brewed from the winery and earn some price difference.

In fact, a big wine jar can completely digest these lees. Not to mention making them into lanterns or something, just rinse them with warm water and add rock sugar, which is a delicacy suitable for both men, women, young and old. But Zhou Dong doesn't want to do his business. Leave some benefits and give them some benefits to the villagers. Since he became the chef of Jiuzhou Dingshi, Zhou's father has taught his son these principles a lot.

He occupied the Feng and Shuiling Land of Ajie Valley and built a winery shop, and he received a lot of help from his fellow villagers. Zhou Dong was also a reward for his kindness.

Zhou Dong has become a noble person in the eyes of the villagers, and the two big white geese are "possessed with the master". Since Zhou Dong built a winery here, even the girls in the village will be scolded by people sent by Li Xiuchen when they come here to take a hot spring, even if they are downstream!

Yongyong can take its "female duck" to play leisurely in the water downstream of Ajie Lake. Li Xiuchen insisted that with two ducks, Ajie Lake, it has become a painting, showing the beauty of nature. The villagers sincerely sighed that the village chief is better than us...

Yan Yi and Huailiang stood side by side by the lake and looked at Baiweisheng on the shore. This great master of the food industry stood under the willow tree by the lake wearing a straw hat, holding a plate of "white snails", and was very patiently feeding two ducks.

The plate of white-burned snails in his hand was Huailiang's skill. They used the water of Ajie Lake and cooked them with salted plums. Although it was a simple delicacy, it was very skillful to the chef.

Bai Weisheng's face was full of doubts. Whenever he threw the snails made by Huailiangren at the two ducks, Yongyong and his wife rushed to eat happily. But whenever he changed into the snails he made, before he could throw them out, the two ducks would twist their heads to the side, as if they were extremely disdainful.

Seeing this, Huailiangren and Yan Yi laughed, and Baiweisheng laughed, "These two ducks are interesting, and they seem to be able to identify the advantages and disadvantages of food. Hahaha, good, very good!"

When it comes to tasting delicious food, he is naturally a top-notch expert, but his cooking skills are far inferior to those of Huai Liangren and Yan Yi. At best, he is a strengthened second-level chef. However, cooking is only a "hobby" for him, and it is not embarrassing to be picked by two ducks.

"Haha, Mr. Bai is very open-minded..."

Yan Yi looked at Baiweisheng with a smile, and always felt that his eyes were a little wrong when he looked at the two big white ducks, and he looked like he was planning to do so.

Could it be that this big foodie has plotted against Lao Zhou’s duck?

Yan Yi shook his head secretly. This is unlikely. Baiweisheng ran to Ajiegu to live. Every time Zhou Dong came, he always found some excuses to get close. Obviously, he wanted to make friends with Zhou Dong. How could he plan to eat these two ducks?

"Haha, the two are also rare figures in China. Don't you know that for a gourmet, the most important thing for a gourmet is actually not verbal, but mind?"

Baiweisheng smiled and said, "There are countless Chinese delicacies, and all major cuisines have their own insistences, such as bitter, spicy, sweet and salty, and all kinds of dishes have their own characteristics.

But people will have love and hate, just like the two of you. Although you have the ability to taste delicious food, you are not a foodie. If you give two African roasted pythons with poor skills, you may pinch your nose and eat it, but you can't make a calm evaluation, right?

A truly professional gourmet can be reserved and vicious, but you must have an open-minded mind to dare to taste the world. Just like the people of my family, this is how it is from generation to generation!”

Huai Liangren and Yan Yi were speechless. You are delicious. Can you not be so tall?

Baiweisheng laughed and looked at the Zhou family courtyard under the waterfall in the distance: "Why did the two chefs come to Ajie Valley today? Could it be that Chef Zhou has new wine out of the cellar?"

Yan Yixiao said: "That's not, but an important person is coming to visit Chef Zhou. We two have heard of his name for a long time but have never had the chance to see it. Today is a good opportunity."

"Oh, what kind of person wants you two to treat them so seriously?"

Bai Weisheng was also slightly stunned. Although the two young chefs in front of him were not as talented as Zhou Dong, they were all figures among the younger generation who were accustomed to the group. Who deserves their attention?

"Five Lakes Fish King, Ling Zhenfeng!"

Huai Liang's eyes narrowed slightly. Not long after Baiweisheng's newly established weapons list for Qinxing, it gradually spread in China. Chef Huai was ranked tenth, and he was still behind the Fish King of Five Lakes!

Ling Zhenfeng was angry that Zhou Dong was ranked above him, but he didn't know that Chef Huai, who was ranked behind him, was also angry. He was thinking about where to find the fish king to compete for cooking skills, but he didn't expect that he would come to his door by himself.

Yan Yi didn't have much thoughts, and he didn't make it on the list at all. This is because the monk disciples were so low-key. He was shortly after he went down the mountain and was overwhelmed by Zhou Dong in a competition. Although Baiweisheng knew that the old host of Lingyin Temple was amazing in cooking, the chef's achievements in Qinxing's weapons list also depended on the chef's reputation and reputation for the time being.

"Is it him?"

Baiweisheng smiled. He was the initiator. How could he not guess the reason why Ling Zhenfeng came to Chudu? Haha, can he have entered the system and still not let go of his false reputation?

Huailiang looked at Baiweisheng, then looked up at Zhou Dong's "Tingtao Courtyard" and said, "Mr. Bai re-arranged the weapons program, and Lao Zhou was afraid that he would be in trouble from now on. It was really harmful..."

"Haha, everyone knows that the word name harms people, but how many people can really get rid of it,

Isn’t it the same thing for Huai Chu?”

Baiweisheng laughed: "Walk, the Fish King of Five Lakes visits the God-Cultivation Hand, and you, the three 'masters' who are in the top ten weapons and weapons are met. You must look at this kind of excitement!"

Huailiang looked at Bai Weisheng's back angrily and walked towards the "Tingtao Villa". However, he was secretly thinking in his heart that he must not wait for Ling Zhenfeng to challenge Lao Zhou first, otherwise if he loses, even if I win again, I will win without any force. The ranking of the ninth place in the Diligent Weapons Chart is also incorrect.

Among the top ten are several god chefs, as well as the three "masters" on the old list. Not to mention challenges, these people may not be able to find them even if they want to find them. Even if they are still alive in the world, they cannot tell whether they have successors. Their position seems meaningless to the eyes of Huailiangren.

He is currently ranked tenth, so Zhou Dong will forget it for the time being. Although he will beat Lao Zhou sooner or later, it is not now. Chef Huai believes that he should give him time and space to grow up. However, he is not very convinced by this Wuhu Fish King Ling Zhenfeng and has long wanted to gesture.

***

Zhou Dong walked out of the bamboo house and stretched his waist long.

I slept well yesterday, and I had no dreams all night until the sun shone into the window, which also allowed him, a person who grew up in the city, to experience the feeling of sleeping high in the hall and the delay of day outside the window.

The construction team that Shen Cheng found was really good, and the materials used were absolutely authentic. In order to prevent people living in the bamboo house from being disturbed by the sound of waterfalls, under the bamboo leather board, a thick sound insulation layer was hidden with skillful hands. When you open the window, you really heard the sound of water rumbling, and close the door and the world stood in tranquility.

With such ingenuity, the material and labor costs are only 50% higher than ordinary goods on the market. Every time Zhou Dong asks why it is so cheap, Shen Cheng refuses to say it explicitly. When he is too anxious, he will cheat and say something about Chef Zhou. You are promoted now, right? Don’t treat Chef Lu anymore, right? You are so embarrassed to calculate this amount of money with me?

Zhou Dong was very ashamed of what he said, and felt that he was a sinner...

"Forget it, Shen Gongdao and Shen Cheng are both good. When I went to Lu Chu, they treated me and Fatty. Maybe it was really like Shen Cheng said. If the accounts were settled too clearly, there would be no friends to do it."

Zhou Dong smiled and shook his head. Maybe he was too serious? If you want to say that he still has a fate with Lu Chu in Jiuzhou Dingshi, he might hurt people if he asks him again.

Walking out of the bamboo house, standing on the platform in front of the house, letting the waterfall pass by, the whole world seemed to have returned to peace except for the rumbling sound of water.

"How comfortable is this kind of lifestyle. One day I become a chef god. When my illness is completely cured, I should let go of everything and enjoy my life here.

But now it's probably just a luxury...

Seeing several figures walking on the bamboo plank road below from afar, Zhou Dong turned his eyes to Cang Yanshan and a stranger.

The stranger also nodded and smiled at him from afar. Although he looked very kind on the surface, he felt indescribable, just like the look when Lao Huai looked at him before.

‘Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come’

Zhou Dong smiled bitterly. Yesterday, Cang Yanshan wanted to speak on the phone but stopped, saying that a friend was going to visit with him. He also revealed some information, telling him that this friend was also listed in the Qinxing Weapons...

No. 9 in the Weapons List?

Now Zhou Dong is so uncomfortable when he sees Baiweisheng. He always feels that this person is doing it on purpose, to provoke a fight between the diligent "masters". How convenient is he to eat?

“The one on the platform is Chef Zhou, right?

Jianghuai Lingzhenfeng, this time I came to Chudu to visit you, the young master..."

When Ling Zhenfeng talked about the four words "Young Master", he deliberately aggravated his tone and clasped his fists at Zhou Dong from afar and smiled.

Zhou Dong smiled: "I heard from Brother Cang that King Lingyu has worked hard all the way."

Six people sat around a rectangular bamboo table on the platform, and the atmosphere was very subtle.

Baiwei moved her neck vividly and felt very uncomfortable.

What is this saying? There are three "masters" in the top ten weapons list that meet here. Shouldn't we compete with each other for cooking skills and ask him, the ready-made judge, to try it out?

Why do they all look at him with bad eyes?

"Haha, the weather is good today, hahaha..."

The Chinese herbal girl laughed dryly.

It’s okay for others to be a food expert at the National Banquet. Although he was only hired temporarily, he was considered to be somewhat charismatic with Ling Zhenfeng, but now he feels quite embarrassed.

Ling Zhenfeng looked at him with dissatisfaction, then turned to Zhou Dong and smiled: "I have heard of the name of the 'God Transformation Hand'. I saw it today. It is indeed different. Haha, no wonder Mr. Bai was ranked eighth in the Qinxing Weapons Chart, and is still above Ling."

Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "That's strange. This 'God Transformation Hand' was taken by Mr. Bai not long ago. It shouldn't be long before. How could Master Ling have heard of it long ago?"

Although his condition has been greatly reduced than before, he also scored a point for whom he met. When he was on the phone yesterday, Cang Yanshan's meaning in and out of the words showed that the "Five Lakes Fish King" was very unwilling to be ranked in the ranking of the weapons charts of Qinxing, so that Zhou Dong could act according to the opportunity.

So Zhou Dong couldn't say anything about Ling Zhenfeng, nor did he have much favorable feelings, so he could speak more straightforwardly.

When Huailiang heard this, he secretly raised his thumbs up and thought to himself, Lao Zhou, you are too straightforward, I like you like this.

"Uh, that's it...hehehe..."

This was the first time Ling Zhenfeng saw someone who had just chatted to death, which made him unable to answer the conversation and could only laugh dryly.

Cang Yanshan suppressed his smile and waited for Ling Zhenfeng to be embarrassed enough, then he took the initiative to change the topic and said: "Brother Zhou, King Ling Yu is here, in addition to visiting you, the 'God Transformation Hand', he is actually responsible for business.

We have agreed before that we hope to order 50 kilograms of three bowls from you but only 50 kilograms of generals and ministers to join the country banquet to entertain foreign guests.

But this is related to the national sports, and I can't decide it alone. Lao Ling is the chef of this national banquet. He also has the responsibility and obligation to visit the banquet for wine, so..."

Zhou Dong frowned slightly, which means that Ling Zhenfeng is here to rate him?

This is really strange. I didn't want to sell it at the beginning. It was Cang Yanshan who begged and added with the national and national justice. Then I reluctantly agreed to sell some wine to him. Now I came to investigate the use of wine. If I had known it was so troublesome, I wouldn't have sold it at the beginning.

"What? The three bowls are not the same as the generals and ministers of the United States, and will attend the national banquet!"

Both Huai Liangren and Yan Yi's eyes were shining.

The two of them are not as good as Zhou Dong. The only purpose of becoming the chef god is to cure diseases. Once the goal is achieved, they will probably go to Ajie Valley to become the first idle person in diligent history. No matter how arrogant the good man is, he will not ignore such honor. Yan Yi said that he is a monk disciple, but he is still far from able to overcome the word "empty".

Even Baiweisheng looked at Zhou Dong with some envy. He re-educated the weapons program and accepted the appointment of a food expert to be a national banquet. Isn’t it just a name?

But what they struggled to pursue was within reach of Zhou Dong!

This is the national banquet wine, and Wuliangye Moutai will break the head for this opportunity!

"Well, when Brother Cang came to Chudu last time, he said he wanted to buy some wine. I refused. After all, it was a private brewed wine, and there was no manufacturer, and there was no registered trademark or something. It seemed that it was not suitable."

Zhou Dong didn't want to buy it at the time, and these words were just excuses.

"Who thought it would be so troublesome that Master Ling would come from Kyoto for review?

Or forget it, Brother Cang, I don’t brew much wine, but I can still sell it..."
To be continued...
