Chapter 162 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea

Back to the dining table.

Qin Heqin, who had changed into a new outfit, looked smiling. If her eyes were not slightly red and swollen, she wouldn't have seen any trace of it. She was crying as if she had just been shocking.

"I'm so hungry when I eat!" Qin Heqin looked greedy.

Li Qingming shrugged helplessly. This broken child is really changing his face quickly, crying and laughing.

"Then let's open the curtain of today's big meal. I believe everyone must be wondering what these five new dishes are!" Li Qingming smiled and went to lift the bowl cover.

"It's eight kinds of courses. Miss and I have never tasted them except salt eggs!" Qin Lan added in a low voice.

Li Qingming smiled.

But at this moment, Qin Heqin suddenly screamed.

"Wait!" Qin Heqin shouted, "The beautiful big sister has guessed everything right, stinky master, what about your reward? Could it be that your reward is your sip of water?"

Everyone looked at Li Qingming together. Yes, you have been keeping a secret since the beginning and said there were prizes. So what is the prize? It’s time to show up now.

Li Qingming smiled.

"Of course, but now we still focus on these nine dishes. The prizes are there and cannot be escaped. But if we don't eat them, the dish will be cold!" said Li Qingming.

"Master Stinky, you might not have prepared any prizes at all!" Qin Heqin muttered.

Li Qingming raised his hand.

"Uncle, help!" Qin Heqin rushed directly into Uncle Xiang's arms.

"Okay, Xiao Ming, you are not allowed to bully our Qinqin, otherwise I will be really angry!" Uncle Xiang said with a frightened face.

Then he spitted Qin Heqin's face and said, "I'm here to bully people again, are you still going to do it." Qinqin is so obedient, you can't help but act.

Li Qingming stopped.

Qin Heqin hid in Uncle Xiang's arms, stuck out her tongue at Li Qingming, and grimaced proudly.

Qin Lan was stunned. Is this still the little witch in their family? Such a naughty person is not Qin Heqin. I must have an illusion, an illusion, an illusion!

Qin Heluo was beside him, but he was even more guilty. His family did not give him a warm childhood. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to come here to find his childhood. I want to be better for Qin Heqin.

"Okay, let's not talk about the many, please try the food!" Li Qingming uncovered the nine dishes one by one, revealing the dishes inside.

There are nine dishes, eight dishes around, and in the middle is a big soup bowl, serving a dish with green floating flowers and waves.

What is this? Everyone was attracted by this dish directly. After all, the bowl is the largest and the soup is the most novel.

"This is chicken meatball soup. Of course, this dish was not called this name, but it should be called Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea!" Li Qingming explained.

The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea? Why are the Eight Immortals Cross the Sea? Everyone was thinking.

Everyone knows the sea, but few people have been there. There are only a few cities in the entire Federation, by the sea, and most of the other cities are either built on the mountains or entrenched on plains. After all, the environment is harsh, and it is too difficult for humans to survive in an environment outside the city.

The sea is even more dangerous. Except for a few cities, there are naturally few people going to the huge waves that are dozens of meters high on the sea all year round. Such a big wave has capsized on any boat.

"This soup is the sea, these green leaves are spinach, and the green boats crossing the sea. As for the round meatballs, they are the Eight Immortals!" said Li Qingming.

The Eight Immortals? Everyone was even more puzzled.

"I don't know about the Eight Immortals? Let me briefly talk about it. The Eight Immortals are the eight legendary Taoist gods, namely Li Tieguai, Zhongli Quan, Lan Caihe, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guojiu. These eight gods once crossed the East China Sea together, and ended up having a big battle with the Dragon King of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. So, there was such a dish: Eight Immortals crossed the Sea." Li Qingming tried to explain as briefly as possible.

After all, there are too many stories about the Eight Immortals, and it is too long. This can be done with stand-up crosstalk or storytelling. However, I am here to be a food god, not a crosstalk or storytelling.

But who could have expected that Li Qingming's example was just the simplest explanation, but everyone was stunned. Seeing that Li Qingming didn't say anything, Qin Heqin immediately screamed.

"What's behind? Master, what's behind? Where is the East China Sea? And why is there a Dragon Palace? Is there a Dragon King in the sea? And the Eight Immortals, why is this name so interesting! Is Fairy He a woman?" Qin Heluo was like a bamboo tube pouring beans, crackling and a series of questions came out.

Everyone nodded repeatedly. This story is very interesting, and they also want to know what's going on.

Li Qingming smiled bitterly.

"Everyone, if you continue to explain, this dish will be really cold!" Li Qingming said helplessly.

Everyone curled their lips.

"Qingming, I think you can consider telling stories in the future. This story is interesting and nice!" Liu Chang said with emotion.

"Well, um, Mr. Li, you can really tell stories. Just a little bit, I really want to hear it." Qin Lan also nodded repeatedly.

Qin Heluo's eyes were lost again. Li Qingming was so talented that he might not be suitable for business, but packaging it is OK. The chef is too monotonous, and there are all over the world. But there are not many chefs who can tell stories. Especially the story is so attractive, and there are not many.

This can be packaged. In this world, packaging can make a product more valuable and profitable. So what is it?

"Ah, I know, what is the first thing the stinky master does?" Qin Heluo suddenly shouted, "You have to tell me stories every day and coax me to sleep!"

Li Qingming had a black face.

What's the point of coaxing this little kid to sleep?

"Uncle, the master agreed just now. Look at him, and now you are ready to regret it!" Qin Heqin pouted immediately, looking aggrieved.

"Okay, Xiao Ming, you can tell Qinqin a few stories tonight, and it won't waste you any time. That's it!" Uncle Xiang looked unhappy, but turned his head but looked doting, "Qinqin, don't worry, uncle has made the decision for you. If he doesn't tell you a story, uncle will tie him up!"

"Oh~~~Uncle loves Qinqin the most, Qinqin likes uncle the most! Humph, Master, let's forget about you being tired for a day today, start tomorrow, tell me stories every day!" Qin Heqin looked excited.

Li Qingming was completely speechless. However, he said it to the uncle and couldn't refute it. Besides, he did agree, and he immediately repented, which was indeed not very reasonable.

"Miss, these second lady are so old, is this suitable?" Qin Lan murmured in a low voice.

Qin Heluo shook his head. He was not worried about this. Although his sister was young, she never suffered any losses. Moreover, Li Qingming could see that she was a more decent person, not that kind of evil person.

"Okay, we in China have a tradition of drinking soup first when eating. This not only nourishes the stomach, but also makes you appetizer!" Li Qingming smiled and served this bowl of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" for everyone one by one.

Of course, this cannot be considered the authentic Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, but it was just what Li Qingming took as the situation. Li Qingming was also lucky to have eaten the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea once.

To be precise, the full name of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is: The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and the Arhats are famous Shandong cuisine and the first famous dish during the Confucius Mansion's birthday banquet.

In history, from the early Han Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, many emperors of all dynasties had to go to Qu-fu (four tones) to worship Confucius. Emperor Qianlong had been there seven times. As for some high-ranking officials and nobles in this society, there were more people going to worship. After all, this is Confucius, the sage Confucius, the ancestor of scholars in the world. Naturally, he had to worship him.

Therefore, the Confucius Mansion held banquets and hosted them very frequently, and gradually, the "Kong Banquet" became famous all over the world.

"Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Arhats" is one of many famous dishes in the Confucius Mansion. It not only has complete ingredients, fine production, rich ear flavors, and unique containers. This dish is made of more than a dozen main ingredients such as shark fin, sea cucumber, abalone, fish bones (bright bones), fish belly, shrimp, chicken, asparagus, ham, etc., and chicken is used as "Arhats". The other eight main ingredients are "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Arhats", so it is called "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Arhats".

Historically, when this dish was served in the Confucius House, it started to sing operas, and while tasting delicious food and listening to operas, it was very lively. It was the first dish for the Kong Banquet and the first dish!

Of course, in the past, this dish could only be eaten in the Kong Mansion. As it spread, it was gradually available in many places. Li Qingming naturally did not eat it in the Kong Mansion. Although his status is not as good as before, if he wants to eat the most authentic Kong Banquet, it is not something that ordinary people can eat.

At this moment, this is purely a fish-eyed bead. However, no one has ever eaten the authentic "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Fighting Arhats", and no one knows what the Eight Immortals are, so it doesn't matter.

Everyone looked at the meatballs floating on the soup in the bowl, the green spinach, and the faint egg flowers. The fragrance overflowed, making people's index fingers unknowingly.

"Try this spinach, I know, you eat less, but the taste of spinach is indeed quite unique, but it is good for soup or stir-frying. The key is that spinach has a lot of vitamins. But if you make a salad, it will be really unpalatable!" Li Qingming shrugged helplessly.

In this world, everything is loved to make salads, and some vegetables cannot be made into salads. It is really unpalatable to make vegetable salads. But there is no way, one place, one taste.

Therefore, Li Qingming also began to carefully identify his own dishes, because perhaps the dishes that he generally likes to eat in his own world are not liked to eat. In that way, he would smash his signature.

"As for this meatball, it's chicken meatballs! You've never eaten it or seen it before." Li Qingming said, introducing the meatballs in the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea".

Meatballs are completely new to this world.
