$982 Full-Course Chinese-Chinese Banquet Golden Toad Looking at the Moon

"If you don't look for Cui Dao, why should you look for Devourer?"

Mao Xiaole hummed, no need to think too much, that wolf must be looking for Teacher Sanshui. The Lizard Duke and the croupier are both extremely confident. It’s a joke. They don’t care who brought the soul of the wolf back and who resurrected it. If anyone has any luck and wants to bypass Teacher Sanshui and abduct the wolf, then What a clown.

"I promised the Lizard Duke to give him the wolf when I was in Iceland."

Wei Xun happily chopped a lot of fresh chili peppers and was about to show off his skills in making spicy fried golden toads. He was in a good mood when he heard what Mao Xiaole said and just smiled: "After all, he has helped me through life and death in Iceland, so you can't go back on your word." "

To be honest, Lizard Duke really helped Wei Xun a lot in Iceland. Wei Xun also fully understands how important the connection between tour guides and tourists is. If one day An Xuefeng lost half of his soul and fell into someone's hands, he would definitely try his best to get it back. At most, he would be polite first and then attack. It is true that controlling Fenrir Wolf is equivalent to indirectly controlling Silver Moon Killer and Lizard Duke, but they are both great travelers and tour guides with both strength and kindness. They will never let anyone manipulate them, and Wei Xun has no intention of doing so. .

On the dealer's side, he also had some contact with her. Now the two of them are fighting each other, but the ultimate goal must still be to complete the Silver Moon Killer. Wei Xun guessed that the dealer felt that her place was safe. After all, there was battlefield pollution in the parliament, and some areas were considered blind spots in the hotel. She lost her brother before. She must have been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. She no longer trusts travelers and has to put people beside her to feel relieved.

And with the domineering character of the Lizard Duke, how could he possibly hand the person over? How can you trust the dealer? After all, no matter what else, they are joint guides. Even if they are not in depth, anything that happens to Silver Moon Killer will still affect him. At that time, I felt relieved about Bingyi. Firstly, he was out of his mind at that time and had lost his memory and lost his mind. Secondly, Bingyi himself had a deeply connected traveler and recommended him to others. The Lizard Duke was sure that Bingyi could not possibly want to find two travelers—— An Xuefeng couldn't agree!

Besides, Bing Yi is from the East District, and Fenrir Wolf is from the West District. The isolation between the East and West Districts makes people feel a bit safer. At the same time, the Lizard Duke also had some subtle recognition of Bingyi's character. The bad bamboo can also produce good bamboo shoots, and it can grow like this after being raised by a life-loving person. Every time I think of the Lizard Duke, I find it incredible, but it also reassures the Lizard Duke.

Of course, maybe it's also because of Black Widow and George, who are "suffering from the same problem" as him. The soul connection between George and Bingyi is no weaker than that of Fenrir Wolf. Black Widow was so crazy before and was not too anxious. She must have recognized Bingyi's character. After all, he really succeeded in resurrecting George. Didn’t Cingyi also bring the opportunity for Fenrir Wolf to come back?

But except for Bingyi, the Lizard Duke didn't trust anyone when it came to Fenrir Wolf. The situation has reached this point, and without the involvement of outside forces, it is difficult for him and the dealer to reach a consensus.

"I'm afraid you'll have to go to Parliament then."

The dream chaser said that Zhang Xingzang next to him was beating the good yellow clay, and he was about to show off his skills by making two beggar polluted pheasants. Hearing this, he echoed: "It's early rather than late. I think the Lizard Duke and the croupier are also doing it." You can’t wait much longer. Maybe Black Widow and George are waiting for you in the Council. It’s not impossible.”

"It depends on your wishes."

An Xuefeng said calmly, his side face became more angular under the firelight, his eyes were dark and extremely handsome, and his words made people more confident: "It's just the Lizard Duke and the Black Widow, I can't force you."

"Yes, Director Cui, they say the rush is not about the business. In the current situation, the Lizard Duke and the croupier don't even say hello to me. It seems that we are still not in a hurry."

Wang Pengpeng also smiled and expressed his position: "It's up to you whether you go or not. Anyway, the people in the West District can't control our East District's affairs."

“We’ll have a look after we return from Qingcheng Mountain this time.”

Wei Xun was not in a hurry. He fried the golden toad meat in hot oil and gave it a try. The rich aroma immediately hit his nostrils, dispersing the cold moisture of the earth. The wealth filled the air and evoked the deepest desires in people's hearts. In an instant, It made people feel sick, and even Wei Xun couldn't help but sigh. So far, this golden toad meat is the best smell he has ever smelled. No polluted snack can compare with it.

But Wei Xun has only reached this point. The young master who used to be clean and in poor health never had so much experience in cooking. After a simple treatment, Lu Shucheng took over the next battlefield. Watch her skillfully stir-fry chili peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic, add fried golden toad meat, and add some secret seasonings of thick oily red sauce. The fragrance is really delicious. of channeling. Even though Wei Xun commanded to add too much chili pepper, and the spiciness made the eyes of Tianhu Yu and Hui, who had a keen sense of smell, and werewolf Lu Shucheng's eyes watery, no one wanted to leave. The golden toad meat was indeed too fragrant.

Wan Xiangchun, who also loves spicy food, his eyes shone slightly. He had already whittled a handful of bamboo chopsticks from local materials. Now that he had nothing to do, he sat in silence for a while and couldn't hold it back. He walked to Lu Shucheng. Next to me, I asked her if she could make a spicy stir-fried dragon meat jerky.

The golden-winged roc really loves to eat dragon meat! Even though the smell of poisonous dragon meat is disgusting, it still has a unique aroma in Wan Xiangchun's opinion. After Wei Xun heard this, he chatted with Wan Xiangchun, who was also a dragon gourmet. The two of them talked with great interest, and Mao Xiaole, who was watching from the side, became more and more jealous. Mao Xiaole had actually wanted to get together for a long time, but he felt that this was Wei Xun and Lu Shucheng's personal relaxation time. It would be unwise for him to get in like this - Teacher Sanshui was alone with him when he was coding. Yeah, you shouldn’t be so dissatisfied.

But he still wanted to be with Wei Xun so much. Now that Lu Shucheng saw Wan Xiangchun pass by, he was not unhappy, but even more interested. He wanted to give him instructions on how to fry dragon meat himself. Mao Xiaole made up his mind and put down his sword with a straight face. , holding hands behind his back, he walked to a large pile of ingredients brought from Qingcheng Mountain. He glanced at and picked out a few large bamboo joints as thick as an adult's thigh, as green as jade, and exuding a light fragrance.

"There must be a lot of bamboo rice in this bamboo tube. Let me cook a bamboo tube rice. I'm the best at this."

Mao Xiaole said dryly, although he must have started a new business when it comes to cooking bamboo tube rice and can't get close to Teacher Sanshui, but isn't there a common topic! If the rice is delicious and Wei Xun likes to eat it, wouldn't it be a common interest with great potential for development in the future? Mao Xiaole had a simple mind, and everyone present could see what he was thinking, and felt very happy. Wang Yushu was the first to respond with a smile.

"Okay, okay, since it's a dinner party, everyone should show off their skills. I see that Brother Tong has picked a lot of wild vegetables. Let me make a sauce for the cold dish. It will be delicious."

"This deer is heavily polluted and has many eyes. You have to control the heat carefully when roasting."

An Xuefeng raised his eyebrows and said, joining in the fun and getting up to deal with the polluted deer that made people mad at the sight of it. He wanted to make the best barbecue. Bai Xiaosheng had no interest in cooking, but he should respond to the situation. I cut a fruit plate for everyone. His swordsmanship was so good that Wei Xun couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

‘Fei Bai used to be the forensic doctor in the team, and his initial title was the same when he first came to the hotel. ’

An Xuefeng's voice rang in Wei Xun's mind. Mao Xiaole wanted to stay with Wei Xun all the time, but An Xuefeng only wanted it more. But as a captain, you must not take the lead in disrupting order by yourself. Like the previous 'accidental encounter' in the forest, it wasn't too much for him to intimidate Lu Shulang and stick to his lover alone, because 'collecting food' was not part of Lu Shucheng's relief alone, but cooking together was.

Lu Shucheng didn't mind it, and the more people liked her food and actively wanted to participate in it, the happier she was and the better she felt. Only An Xuefeng was the captain and the wolf king, so he became nervous when he was near Lu Shucheng. Therefore, An Xuefeng has been restraining himself and not getting too close. What's more, it makes him very happy that the whole team is having fun together. He hasn't seen everyone so relaxed in many years.

In private, An Xuefeng also talked to Wei Xun about everyone's problems, so that he could integrate into the group more quickly and prescribe the right medicine for the pollution.

‘He has a somewhat stubborn personality and likes research the most. Traveling with An Xuefeng, they experienced the most difficult journey in the first year after entering the hotel. They struggled with life and death day and night. As their strength rapidly grew stronger, pollution also gradually distorted his nature. The heart turns stubbornness into paranoia. ’

'It was Sister Cheng...Wu Lecheng, who was the first to realize that something was wrong with Fei Bai's situation, and asked me to talk to him more. I talked to Fei Bai several times, and he finally confessed to me that he could no longer control himself. As soon as he picked up the knife, he wanted to dissect the person completely, from head to toe, and study the bones and blood. Not just the enemy, he also wants to study me and everyone in the team’

An Xuefeng recounted what happened in the past. At that time, he was in good spirits and was ready to return home, so he forced Bai Xiaosheng to take another road, asking him to temporarily put down the scalpel and use data analysis instead. , which lasted for many years. Seeing that he was going to another extreme of indulging in data, indifference and losing humanity, Lu Shucheng entered the hotel. With an acquaintance in the same team, Bai Xiaosheng's mood became more stable and he slowly regained some of his popularity.

But Wu Lexeng, who was the first to notice that something was wrong with Bai Xiaosheng and was as meticulous as dust, died on the battlefield and never came back. Wei Xun still remembered that Wang Pengpai seemed to like Wu Lecheng. When he looked over, he heard Wang Pengpai laughing and said, "Come on, let's see Chef Wang cook a big dish for you. It's delicious!"

The golden toad's meat is tender and tender. The meat transformed from wealth is not white like ordinary bullfrogs, but looks like it has been soaked in honey, with a slight golden light. Just smelling it has an intoxicating aroma. Wealth nourishes people the most, and it also nourishes frogs the most. Wang Pengpai did not use the charcoal brought by Lu Shucheng, but picked up some branches nearby and asked Wan Xiangchun to dry them with the pure green glazed fire of Dapeng Garuda. The wood naturally gave off a light, Pure fragrance, does not get wet when exposed to rain, and burns when exposed to fire.

Wang Pengpeng built a fire with the wood, then picked out ten large and plump golden toads that had not yet been cut into pieces from the Wei Xun fish basket, and also picked out some of the various mountain treasures Lu Shucheng had collected this afternoon. , cut a piece of python meat, put it with a nest of contaminated wild eggs and three large carp, placed it next to a wooden stake that could be used as a natural chopping board, and started talking.

"There is a famous dish in this Manchu-Han Banquet, called Golden Toad Watching the Moon. The Golden Toad looks at the moon, and the Toad Palace wins the title! The meaning is very good, it is delicious and beautiful, and now there are many restaurants that make imitation meals like this It’s a pity that it can’t imitate the essence of the dish.”

"Why, of course it's because they don't have real golden toads! They can only use abalone slices as the base, put a quail egg on top to make the golden toad belly, and then use the best Bohai prawns to cut into putty and squeeze them into small balls. As the head of the golden toad, fill in the gap between the head and the quail egg to make a body. Finally, use green beans as eyes, cut cucumber into shreds to make stripes, and cut a small piece of abalone underneath to make two hind legs. Even if it’s a golden toad.”

Wang Pengpai said as he killed the fresh carp with a knife, removed the bones and fish fillets, mixed it with python meat and chopped it into fine puree, and added a little seasoning to remove the fishy smell. Then he boiled a pot of water on the fire, and rinsed the dragon balls brought by Lu Shucheng in the water, which was considered a pot of seafood soup. Then he squeezed the fish and python puree into balls with his hands and put them into the soup to blanch them, then took them out, and boiled various wild delicacies and pheasant eggs into the soup, and finally stuffed the fish balls, wild delicacies and peeled pheasant eggs into the belly of each golden toad.

"This is called the golden toad looking at the moon, and the toad palace winning the laurel. The carp jumped over the dragon gate, the python turned into a dragon, and the pheasant eggs are the moon, all in the golden toad's belly."

Wang Pengpai said happily, and steamed the processed golden toad in the pot. Lu Shucheng has a pot that can shrink the ingredients in the pot, so he can steam many dishes at the same time in one pot without mixing the flavors. The plates of golden toads shrunk and placed in the pot look like coins, which makes people feel festive.

"I said before that when we go to the capital, I, Fatty, will take over and take our brothers and sisters who have lived and died together to eat a full banquet. This is called being considerate."

The fragrance filled the air, making people intoxicated. Although they didn't drink, everyone seemed drunk. Wang Pengpai narrowed his eyes and talked about the past, but he was speechless before he finished speaking. Perhaps he thought of the dead, and the relatives who might never see each other again in this life. How many companions they have lost along the way, and how many separations and deaths they have experienced. People are always losing. The word "gathering" made people feel troublesome when they were young, but now it makes people cherish it.

At least now, in Qingcheng Mountain, they can temporarily forget their troubles and sentimental feelings, immerse themselves in Cui Dao's group relief, enjoy the peace of mind of being comforted, have a lively meal, and when they are full, they can simply use the sky as the ground and the ground as the mat, sleeping in the rustling of insects and leaves.

No one mentioned returning to the base. * * * is still taking... to capture the Dragon Triangle. Wei Xun and the dream chaser will definitely have their memories blocked as soon as they return from Qingcheng Mountain, but how much they will be blocked and how the method will be depends on the person in charge. Without * * *, An Xuefeng is worried that the hotel or other people in charge will touch Wei Xun's memory. Before that, we have to find a way to get Wei Xun to a place where the hotel cannot touch, and he cannot take the initiative to go there. The responsibility must be on others.

So after Wei Xun fell asleep with his arms around his waist and his head resting on his legs, An Xuefeng took out his phone and sent harsh text messages to Silver Moon Killer and George in the middle of the night. The phone light was on intermittently all night, and it was unknown what these big travelers talked about. Anyway, the next morning, Wei Xun just woke up and received text messages from Lizard Duke and Black Widow.

Although the two had different words and attitudes, the core content was the same.

Come to the parliament quickly! They will deal with the hotel and wait for the explorer to come. It's really urgent!
