Even if the kitchen in Zhixian Pavilion is placed in the entire area, it is also second to none.

Needless to say, all the good things that can be used are used; the iron pot is better than the iron used by some poor people; the wood on the cutting board is more expensive than the wood used for the best furniture in the homes of ordinary people.

Ingredients and seasonings can also be found here, including delicacies from the southeast, northwest, mountains and seas, and even ingredients that are not available in the local area.

Take the fish just now as an example. You should know that that era was not as good as today. In modern society, even if you live in an inland city, you can still eat seafood transported from air at low temperatures. But at that time, you were in a city far away from the sea and wanted to eat sea fish, it would be impossible... It is absolutely difficult.

In other words, in ancient times, if a person living in Sichuan did not leave Sichuan in his entire life, he would probably never tasted it in his entire life, or even saw any fish in the sea.

In Luoyang, it is actually similar; Luoyang is facing the Yellow River in the north, and it is not uncommon to get freshwater fish, but among the fish that Yuan Fangzhi took out just now, squid and mackerel were all sea fish, and squids are usually active in the deep sea, so it is not easy to catch them, let alone transport them to the inland.

This alone shows that the boss here is not only rich, but also has great supernatural powers.

And the "software" in the kitchen, that is, "people", is even more powerful...

The kitchen on the first floor of Buguilou is already very large. When business is open, there are more than a dozen chefs and helpers working in the kitchen; the kitchen on the second floor is almost as big as the one on the first floor, but only three people are used inside.

One is Yuan Fangzhi, who was formerly an imperial chef and known as the "King of Southern Chef".

One is Yuan Fangzhi's deputy, an old eunuch who followed him to leave the palace, named Zhang Ergui.

There is another one, the helper named You Jing.

Yuan Fangzhi is undoubtedly the core figure of this kitchen; as early as the age of 25, he was already famous, and the dignitaries who went to the restaurant where he was in charge of food praised his skills. Over time, even Li Qian, the eunuch who was the Shangshenjian, heard about Yuan Fangzhi.

One day, Li Qian visited in a low dress and came to the restaurant where Yuan Fangzhi was. He deliberately ordered a few rare dishes that the waiter had never heard of, hoping to try Chef Yuan's skills. When Yuan Fangzhi heard the name of the dishes in the back kitchen, he knew that the person who came was extraordinary, so he also had a fighting spirit. Not only did he make all the dishes ordered by Li Qian, but he also gave him his own original dish "The spring tide comes with rain and the evening."

This dish is a seasonal dish. The main ingredient is spring bamboo shoots, and it must be fresh bamboo shoots that have just been dug out of the soil for less than half a day. It can be eaten raw. There are also seventeen auxiliary ingredients, all of which are fresh fruits and vegetables unique to spring.

These eighteen ingredients must be cut and peeled with eighteen knife skills, then cooked, and finally the flavor is reduced with the broth, so that these ingredients with different tastes can achieve an overall coordination.

The final product, whether it is color, fragrance, taste, meaning, or form, has been a perfect state, especially the superb sword skills of Yuan Fangzhi to the fullest.

Li Qian only took a bite and had made up his mind to recruit the chef into the palace.

In the same year, Yuan Fangzhi was naturally promoted to the imperial kitchen, and fifteen years later, he was personally named "King of Southern Chef" by the late emperor, as famous as Chen Jiurong, who was also called "King of Northern Chef" and also "King of Folk Chef".

However, as time goes by, people will eventually get old one day, and it is impossible not to accept it.

In this era when the average life expectancy of only 60 years old, Yuan Fangzhi, who had been working in high-intensity physical work, began to feel that he was a little overwhelmed with the work of the imperial kitchen when he was fifty-six years old.

In addition, at this time, since he was named King of Chef, another sixteen years have passed, and his most glorious years have passed; today's Emperor Yongtai is not very particular about food... He doesn't know who is in the imperial kitchen, nor does he care.

Yuan Fangzhi felt that it would be meaningless to continue to stay, so he applied to the superiors to retire and return home, and the superiors agreed.

Zhang Ergui is half of Yuan Fangzhi's apprentice. Since Yuan Fangzhi entered the palace, he has been studying with Yuan Fangzhi. In fact, he is only two years younger than Yuan Fangzhi. The two are both teachers and friends. They have accumulated decades of friendship and have a tacit understanding at work. So when Zhang Ergui heard that Yuan Fangzhi was leaving, he decided to leave together.

Some people may ask, if the eunuch wants to leave the palace, then leave the palace?

Here I have to explain first that "eunuchs" are not all "eunuchs". Before the Qing Dynasty, "eunuchs" were an official position. Although eunuchs were eunuchs like eunuchs and could be collectively called eunuchs, eunuchs were eunuchs who led eunuchs.

If you don’t understand, I’ll give you an example and you will understand: In the unit, your department managers work like you, and can be collectively referred to as employees, but the manager is the employee of the leader, and it is impossible for all the employees to be managers.

After the Qing Dynasty, the words eunuch and eunuch were completely confused, and this led to the so-called "little eunuch".

Zhang Ergui is either an eunuch, he is just a eunuch. When an old eunuch who has not yet been promoted to the age of Zhang Ergui, if he wants to leave the palace... no one will be allowed to stay.

In fact, in a few years, even if he doesn't want to leave, he will drive him away, because his body can no longer be competent for the position of eunuchs who have high physical requirements and serve others.

As for... the group of workers You Jing didn't have a close relationship with these two people, because he has always been the one who doesn't come back to the building. They only met when Yuan and Zhang came a few years ago.

Sometimes, no customer will come up in this "Zhixian Pavilion" overnight. In this case, their second-floor kitchen only needs to be responsible for the food of the boss who lives on the third-floor; and that food is delivered by You Jing every day.

There is no doubt that the dishes made from the combination of these three people are even better than those in the palace.

However... today, Sun Yixie, a fish marketer, actually came in to "teach Yuan Fangzhi to cook". Isn't this a strange story in the world?

But when he saw Sun Yixie leading everyone, he swaggered into the kitchen of Zhixian Pavilion.

Zhang Ergui and You Jing, who were on standby inside, were stunned when they saw them walking in, and they didn't understand what this situation was going to do.

And just as they were hesitating, Sun Yixie had already scanned the kitchen and walked towards the pool...

At the same time, Yuan Fangzhi came to his two colleagues and whispered to them about what happened just now. Their expressions changed a lot when they heard it, and they kept glanced at Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, as if they didn't believe in their ears.

On the other hand, Sun Yixiu took a moment to get the ingredients and started cooking.

Sun Yixi's cooking skills... It's okay, it's roughly the level of being able to make more decent home-cooked dishes; of course, in the big world, except for professional chefs, most men don't go to the kitchen, and among non-professionals, there are not many who can have his skills.

However, if his weight is enough in Yuan Fangzhi's eyes, it would be too ridiculous...

"Young Master Sun..." After watching for a while, Yuan Fangzhi couldn't help it and stepped forward and interrupted, "Your method of cutting green onions (i.e., onions) is not right."

"Don't worry, I have my routine." Sun Yixie responded impatiently without raising her head.

Yuan Fangzhi said in his heart: "I kindly reminded you, but it turned out to be boring. OK... Anyway, you didn't point fingers at me when I was cooking, so I'll shut up."

In this way, he watched Sun Yixie stumble there for a long time. He didn't see anything about "fire skills" because how to use fire varies from dish to dish, and he couldn't understand the dishes made by Sun Yixie... But Yuan Fangzhi could see that this kid's knife skills were not very good. With this basic skill, he still wanted to make silverfish that was better than me? Where did he get the confidence?

A stick of incense will pass soon.

Sun Yixi was quite quick-witted. In less than half an hour, he brought out a plate of brightly colored and fragrant silverfish dishes.

On the plate, the outer circle was red, made of chopped tomato grains, shallots, sour beans, sour cucumbers, etc. The ingredients... were not very neatly cut and messy; in the middle, a pile of white objects like a hill, were silverfish, not to mention... they looked pretty good; on the "fish mountain", there was a pale yellow sauce; before serving, Sun Yixie finally sprinkled some chopped spices on the dish.

From top to bottom, from inside to outside, green, yellow, white, red, and four distinct colors are distinct, and the unique and rich aroma is filled with the elegant fragrance of the fish itself... Just by looking at the two colors and fragrances, this dish seems to be really good.

So what kind of dish is this?

It is actually French-style beef with French marinated beef.

However, Sun Yixi replaced beef with fish and vegetable oil, and used chili, onion, garlic, honey, dried mustard powder and oil and salt wine to make a homemade Dijon mustard sauce.

In short, this is a "copy food" with several ingredients and spices in it, using genuine substitutes.

Just this... it's not easy; that is, this Zhixian Pavilion has everything inside. If you change to the kitchen in another place, don't even think about it; like pepper, yellow mustard, honey, thyme, onion... there is nowhere else. In the morning, these are all rare things, some are more expensive than silver.

Anyway, he made this dish.

Sun Yixie tasted it himself, it was pretty good... Of course, it was because this was not the first time he had made this dish.

In the original universe, he was a person who liked food very much, but after coming here, he could still eat a lot of Chinese food, but he could not get in touch with Western and Japanese food. However, he could only solve this problem that even if he had money, he could only solve it himself.

Therefore, based on his basic knowledge of foreign cuisine, his memories of tasting these cuisines by himself, and... a lot of free time and spare money, he successfully restored many "dark cuisines".

The one in front of him was his proud work.

You should say that this method can be made so delicious... not, but it is enough to make Yuan Fangzhi feel delicious.

Because of the "freshness", you can add points to the delicious food, and you can add a lot of it.

If you make a person who has never eaten curry in his life and does not know its price, and if you eat a bite, it can only be considered a "generally delicious" curry in the eyes of those who often eat curry, he will be amazed.

But if you ask a person who often eats steak and eats a "generally delicious" steak, he will naturally only react in moderation.

Instant noodles, which once flourished in the 1990s, were similar things that were used as food when I was a child. Now, you may not even want to eat them.

Actually, the taste has not changed, and it may even have become better, but... you have changed.

Yuan Fangzhi was like a child who had never eaten instant noodles before. This bite of "French marinated silverfish" made him so beautiful.

The old man lived his whole life, but no one taught him what Dijon mustard sauce is. He also saw the first method of stewing the "Western Region spices" with vegetables and fish. He also tasted the delicious taste made by foreign seasoning.

After eating, he was convinced.

"Okay! OK!" Before Yuan Fangzhi put down his chopsticks, he even said ok four times, "It turns out that he is a hero and a boy, Yuan admires him."

Master, he has his own master's demeanor; Sun Yixiu said wildly before, but Yuan Fangzhi was indeed unconvinced, but now people really make delicious foods that you have never eaten and cannot make, so Yuan Fangzhi will recognize what he should have.

Having the truth means learning without getting tired of it. Art is endless. People with real talents and real talents will not be afraid to admit that someone is better than themselves in some aspects, because that is normal. Only those who deceive the world and steal reputation will regard false reputation as more important than facts, always stand firm and stop at this.

"Haha... It's easy to say, Sun is also showing off his awesomeness and showing off his ugly face." Although Sun Yixie walked into the kitchen with 80% certainty, he was still two or three points in his heart. At this moment, he saw that the other party was frightened, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said a scene with a smile.

This is emotional intelligence; without such tolerance and the art of winning over people, how could he become the "big brother" in the fish market?

"Well... it's not bad." On the other hand, Huang Donglai also came over and tasted Sun Yixie's craftsmanship at this time.

His reaction was relatively dull; because for him, it was not a taste without any concept. When he saw Sun Yixie making this dish, he had already roughly known what it tasted through the ingredients.

As a result, everyone tasted the dish, and Sun and Huang disappeared without eating a few chopsticks.

The more Yuan Fangzhi ate, the more he felt that the dish was good everywhere. He also made up for the conclusion that "Young Master Sun might not have bad knife skills, but deliberately cut it into this, because the silverfish itself has different sizes and cut the side dishes to different sizes, which makes it more layered when it tastes." This conclusion explains the reason why he just missed it.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Mr. Yuan admires Sun Yixie, he cannot invite them to the private room to have dinner... Rules are rules, and they still have "two levels" to pass.
