Although the British Empire under the rule of Li Lu has such and such problems, but on the whole, it is in the sunrise period of the empire, whether it is military, political, economic or people's livelihood and other aspects have made great progress, the most important criterion of economic development and prosperity is the progress of food, in the British Empire, food and eating habits from all over the world converge here, and then exchange and collide, evolved into many new cuisines, and also gave birth to many famous chefs, these chefs mostly serve in Zhujunlou, Drunken Immortal Building is a super restaurant, however, in the British Empire, the highest honor for a chef is to enter the imperial dining room and become an imperial chef, and only after staying in the imperial dining room can they dare to say that they are a figure in the chef world.There is a chef named Zhao Dehai in Chang'an, he was a scholar, he was obsessed with cooking after repeated attempts, set the directors of various cuisines, and was quite famous in Chang'an City, but in the current Great Zhou, well, that is, the original Tang Dynasty, the chef is a very low status profession, as a chef, they are not only discriminated against, but also have a very low income, and Chang'an is in stark contrast to the British Empire under the rule of Li Lu, where famous chefs gather, cuisine, chefs are not only not discriminated against, but also the social status and income of chefs are quite good.Zhao Dehai didn't see the day in Chang'an, so he rolled up the cover roll and smuggled to the British Empire, where he patrolled several cities in the United Kingdom, honed his cooking skills here, and gradually he became famous in the British Empire, especially in Tianzhu Province, where he lived, Chef Zhao's signboard was called a loud.After coming to the UK, Zhao Dehai knew that if a chef could enter the imperial dining room and get the qualification of the imperial kitchen, he could be regarded as the number one person in the chef circle, so after learning that the imperial dining room selected the imperial chef, Zhao Dehai immediately left Tianzhu and went to Broken Leaf to participate in the annual imperial chef qualification competition.When he came to Broken Leaves, he signed up for the competition, and he passed the knife and cooking levels in a row, winning the applause of the house.But the chief examiner Liu Yuchu said coldly: "Don't be complacent too early, if you can't pass the third level, you still have to slap your ass and leave!"

”This third level is to let Li Lu, the real owner of the imperial dining room, taste the dishes himself.Zhao Dehai carefully prepared three special dishes, and Chef Liu Yu tasted the sample dishes and was amazed: the first sweet and sour boiled fish baked noodles are sweet and sour, sour and salty, and the fish meat is tender but not greasy, fat but not oily, which is quite the golden mean; The second fried purple crispy meat melts in the mouth, and the aftertaste stays for a long time, and the meat pieces are square and arranged in an orderly manner, which is really like a bucket square calligraphy and painting; The third peony swallow dish is not only full of color and fragrance, the taste is refreshing, but also the meaning of the national color and natural fragrance, the prosperity of the world and the meaning of peace, it is really wonderful and amazing!

Imperial Chef Liu smacked his tongue again and again, but as soon as he turned his head, he deliberately pulled his face and said, "Although these three dishes of yours are not bad, I don't know if they are to Your Majesty's taste." ”Immediately asked someone to mix these three dishes into dozens of other dishes, and let the little eunuch of Tianzhu, who passed the dishes, bring them into the side hall where Li Lu dined, where Li Lu's family served as judges to evaluate these dishes.After a while, the little eunuch Ayia Nava, who was passing the dishes, brought out the three dishes made by Zhao Dehai in turn.Zhao Dehai's eyes suddenly darkened, and he thought: It's over!

Imperial Chef Liu quietly called him aside and said coldly: "You also saw that His Majesty and all the ladies and princesses of this dish were withdrawn before they could eat much, so you were defeated!"

”Out of the palace, Zhao Dehai was unwilling to return to Tianzhu like this, he couldn't afford to lose this person, looked at the palace in the distance, and secretly made up his mind that he had to mix up in the imperial capital Broken Leaf Mansion, and then return to Tianzhu in a beautiful way.Just thinking about it, Zhao Dehai unconsciously came to a restaurant.Look up, only to see the signboard written with four big brush words "Hongtan Restaurant", the font is strong and spiritual, amazing, there is also a pair of couplets hanging on the left and right, on the book "poetry and books and articles in the world, wine and food in the world".Seeing that a guest came to the door, the shopkeeper of the restaurant immediately came out to greet him: "The guest officer stopped for a long time, and I think it is to appreciate the words of the master of Liu.Is it true that your store is talking and laughing, and there is no white ding?

”Zhao Dehai was born as a scholar and has always had a soft spot for poetry and books."

Hehehe, sir, I have to correct your statement, I heard you mention Hongru, I know that you must be from the Central Plains.......

Mr. looks at your dress, you should have been in our British Empire for some years; Don't you know that in our British Empire, the most unpopular school is Confucianism, founded by Confucius?

Poetry and books are not classics of Confucianism..........

At that time, Master Liu gave this character to my boss, but I didn't want to attract countless readers in the capital to patronize it over time.I think Mr. is extraordinary, probably also a scholar?

”When Zhao Dehai heard this, he was shocked: this British Empire is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the shopkeeper of a restaurant is so knowledgeable.......

And who is the master of Liu?

It has such a great appeal.Immediately, he smiled faintly and said his intentions, and after a little examination, the shopkeeper agreed to keep him.As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.In less than a month, Zhao Dehai settled in the restaurant with his excellent skills and became the number one chef here.On this day, the shopkeeper went into the kitchen and said to Zhao Dehai that there were important guests who wanted to see him.Immediately, the two came to the private room on the second floor, and saw two men, an old man and a young man, talking and laughing, the older one was kind, gentle and elegant, while the younger one was five short and ugly.The elder said, "Master Liu and I have come here often, and we have never tasted such exquisite food, and when I asked the shopkeeper, I realized that a new chef had arrived!"

”Zhao Dehai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and it turned out that the ugly-looking guest in front of him was Master Liu, who wrote the signboard, and he was full of admiration at the moment.The two guests also seemed to have a lot of research on the dishes, so they pulled Zhao Dehaidong to chat sentence by sentence.The more the three of them chatted, the more speculative they became, and they hated to see each other late.When Zhao Dehai told him about the experience of entering Beijing to choose an imperial chef, the old man was taken aback, and after a few moments of silence, he stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, this chef, the old man wants to take it back." ”"Huh?

Master Di, he's our signature now!

”The shopkeeper had a bitter face.The elder, who was called Master Di, took out two hundred dollars from his pocket, and the shopkeeper glanced at the money and did not say a word.Master Di shook his head, turned around, and took out a silver ticket of 10,000 British dollars and secretly stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand.The shopkeeper looked down and agreed: "This, this, okay, okay, please take him away!"
