Next to the courtyard is a two-story pavilion. There are five carved wooden doors on the first floor of the pavilion. When the guests are chatting and greeting each other, the five wooden doors suddenly open at the same time, and staff members in ancient costumes come out neatly from the inside. Everyone held a tray in their hands, and on the tray were the ingredients for the dishes that Lu Jingqian was going to make.

After more than a dozen staff members went back and forth two or three times, they placed all the main ingredients and ingredients in order in the pavilion in the center of the lotus pond, leaving only two helpers, and the others all exited the lotus pavilion.

After Lu Jingqian went downstairs and walked towards the Lotus Pavilion, everyone's eyes were on him. Some people who watched his live broadcast saw that he was still dressed in white with ink painting patterns on it. The hem of his clothes fluttered as he walked, and felt that Sure enough, as others said, he himself is more like a fairy, with a fairy spirit all over his body.

The people who were still chatting stopped. In the courtyard with hundreds of people, there was an instant silence, and no voice could be heard. Because the moment they walked out of Lu Jingqian, they couldn't look away, thinking how could there be such a person with special effects that made people calm down involuntarily.

Yan Bin had met the original owner twice before, but because he had heard too many complaints from Lan Mingze, every time he saw the original owner before, he felt that a person with such a bad character did not deserve to have such a good-looking face at all. It's a pity.

But now that he saw Lu Jingqian, his heart was inexplicably moved, and even he was puzzled. Forcibly suppressing the sudden feeling in his heart, he told himself that it must be an illusion, the person he loves deeply is Lan Mingze, how could he be tempted by Lan Shaoxuan, whom he has always hated.

The moment Lu Jingqian picked up the knife, all the guests watching had the illusion of the beginning of a martial arts blockbuster, because the knife in his hand was so fast that only a silver light could be seen, and the original shape of the kitchen knife could not be clearly seen at all. .

The first thing Lu Jingqian made was a patchwork landscape dish, which included soup, main course and vegetables, and included chicken, duck, fish and all kinds of vegetables. It has been made into various landscapes, and the ornamental value is very high.

Unlike some chefs with big arms and round waists, Lu Jingqian has a well-proportioned figure and a slightly thin and tall youth. He doesn't look like a man of great strength, but he easily lifted a big iron pot, and his fair face Printed with soaring flames, it looks even more heroic, like a fairy who is not afraid of flames and can control everything.

After the vegetables and meat were placed on the plate, Lu Jingqian opened the casserole on the side, and used a large spoon to scoop the clear soup inside into the two large discs that had been placed on the plate, and the dish immediately came to life. The original quiet landscape arrangement, with the running water made of clear soup, truly came alive.

The big disc was a bit heavy, and it required two people to carry it steadily. Lu Jingqian made two identical landscape dishes at the same time. Lao Na's table and Yan Lao's table.

"This is... a dish?" Mr. Wu stared wide-eyed at the high mountains and flowing water, the bamboo forest and the lotus pond, and the big disc in the rock garden, and there were fingernail-sized fish swimming in the flowing water.

"The chef said that this is called a landscape dish. It is made of eight kinds of meat dishes and twelve kinds of vegetables. It is also called a patchwork dish. If you want to distinguish it in detail, there are 36 different dishes in this big dish." The staff member said. Introduced.

The other guest tables also started to serve dishes, but everyone was focused on looking at the two landscape dishes, completely devoid of other thoughts.

"Well, how do I say this?" Elder Li asked.

Mr. Hong picked up the spoon, put it down, picked up the chopsticks, put it down again, hesitated for a while, finally picked up the spoon, and decided to try the clear soup with running water that would not spoil the whole picture.

Mr. Hong scooped it down with a spoon, and not only scooped up the soup, but also scooped up a few small fish, which looked interesting and cute.

Everyone looked at Mr. Hong. As soon as his spoon was brought to his mouth, Mr. Wu couldn't wait to ask, "How does it taste?"

Mr. Hong tasted it carefully, feeling the freshness and sweetness of vegetables in the clear soup, and immediately whetted his appetite. And those few small fish were really made of fish meat, tender and fresh.

"Fresh, delicious!" Grandpa Hong exclaimed loudly.

Then the old men tried the taste with spoons one after another, all showed satisfied smiles, nodded and said yes.

"This bamboo forest seems to be made of bamboo shoots. Come and taste what it tastes like." Mr. Zhang, who loves to eat bamboo shoots, pointed to the bamboo forest on the disc and suggested to Mr. Hong.

Mr. Hong picked up the chopsticks, pulled out a piece of "bamboo" from the reddish-brown "soil", put it in his mouth and bit a section, the soup immediately exploded, the crisp and tender bamboo shoots mixed with the fragrant chicken soup, no matter it was The taste or the taste is unstoppable.

"Quick, taste it." Old Master Hong didn't know how to describe it anymore, he pointed to the bamboo forest and asked others to taste it quickly.

The bamboo forest was soon empty, leaving only reddish-brown "soil".

Mr. Wu wanted to pull out the "bamboo" again, but found that there was no more. Out of curiosity, he put a piece of "soil" into his mouth, and immediately said happily, "this "soil" is a braised lion. Tasty."

"I'll try these lotus flowers." Mr. Li extended his chopsticks to the lotus pond in the disc, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "This lotus smells like ham."

"You all like elegant things, I'm different from you, I want to taste what the stone steps are like" the always taciturn old man Xu said with great interest.

"Be careful, it's a decorative item, bite it lightly." Mr. Li reminded.

"How is it?" Mr. Wu looked at Mr. Xu curiously and asked, "What's the smell?"

"The taste is fragrant and dry, with a little taste of braised elbow." Xu Lao said.

Mr. Hong looked up and saw that other people were looking at their table, and immediately greeted him, "Everyone is eating too, don't be too polite, although the dishes on your table were not made by Shaoxuan himself, they are all chefs from Shaoxuan's education The taste is definitely not bad, so eat with confidence, eat with confidence."

After being greeted by Mr. Hong, the other guests finally started to move. After tasting the food, they felt that it was as good as Mr. Hong said, and the taste was better than any dish they had eaten before. So they thought in their hearts, the dishes taught by the apprentices are so delicious, what kind of cooking skills is this master, and then they involuntarily turned their eyes to Mr. Hong's table.

"Eat quickly, too, don't just watch, I specially asked Shaoxuan to cook the same dish for you, try it quickly." Master Hong looked at the old master Yan and the others at the table next to him and said.

Mr. Yan and the others thought at the same time, you want to show off to us, so you specially let us cook the same dishes.

When they received the invitation from Mr. Hong, they guessed that Mr. Hong must have sent them a special invitation to show off to them. In the past, it was Mr. Yan's birthday celebration, and he specially set up a famous chef to present dishes, and asked the ten most famous chefs to cook two best dishes each, in order to show off his status in the food industry.

They originally thought that no matter how good the cooking skills of the chefs in Hongyuan Villa are, but Mr. Hong showing off his cooking in front of them who have worked hard in the catering industry for decades is simply overreaching. Come with the attitude of watching a joke. But now it seems that they are the real jokes. The dishes are not complete yet. Never had a good time. Just these two things alone, definitely overwhelmed the dishes presented by those famous chefs before Mr. Yan.

They were very conflicted about eating this birthday banquet. They were obviously unhappy, but the dishes were so delicious that they couldn't stop their chopsticks.

After resting for a few minutes, Lu Jingqian started to cook other dishes. Landscape dishes took a lot of effort and energy, so he only made two dishes. He could cook other dishes for five tables at the same time.

Ou Wenyu's table hadn't been served yet. He craned his neck to look at the landscape dishes on Master Hong's table, swallowed and kept looking at Lu Jingqian who was cooking in the pavilion, feeling anxious.

Ou Wenyu's father was dizzy from his turning around like this, patted his leg, and said in a low voice, "You can't be more honest, what does your grandfather look like today? Guoshou, if you are ashamed at this time, see how I deal with you when I go back."

Ou Wenyu was taught a lesson by his father, and he didn't dare to turn his body any more. He could only turn his head to the pavilion in the lotus pond, and waited anxiously in his heart.

Although Hong Boxiao was also curious about the plate of landscape dishes, after looking at it for a while, when Lu Jingqian returned to the pavilion, he immediately focused on Lu Jingqian who was cooking.

The few tables that hadn't been served were occupied by the Hong family and the family members of the old men who helped greet the guests today. They were even happier seeing the old men eating happily.

After Mr. Hong and the others had all the dishes on their table, the other tables finally started to serve. Everyone ate very happily. Only Hong Boxiao was paying attention to Lu Jingqian while eating.

The chef didn't serve the table, so after making a few tables of dishes, Lu Jingqian went back to rest in the building next to him. He might have to add more dishes later, so he couldn't leave yet.

Hong Boxiao wanted to talk to Lu Jingqian, but today his grandfather celebrated his birthday, and all the elders and relatives were here, so he couldn't leave the table, otherwise he would be gossiped by outsiders, so he could only pretend to be attentive, while Talking to the elders, while eating the dishes that Lu Jingqian worked so hard to cook.

After the banquet, some people went for a walk in other gardens to digest food, and some people sat drinking tea and chatting.

The old men, who were satisfied with the meal, brought old man Yan and the others into the house to drink tea and talk.

"Are you satisfied with your food today?" Old Man Hong looked at Old Man Yan and the others with a smile and asked.

Because Mr. Hong's birthday banquet this time overwhelmed all the previous birthday banquets, Mr. Yan was not reconciled or happy, but he still said with a smile on his face, "It's the first time in many years that I have eaten the authentic Lanjia. Kung fu dishes, the boy from the Lan family really got his grandfather's true biography, and he has eaten the old taste for many years, who would have thought that he would eat it at the birthday banquet in Hongyuan Villa today?"

The meaning of Mr. Yan's words is that I have eaten such delicious dishes for many years before, and what you are trying to show us now is what we could eat if we wanted to eat back then.

Mr. Hong naturally understood the meaning of his words, but he didn't feel unhappy at all, because Lu Jingqian did make a few Lanjia Kung Fu dishes, but most of them were newly created by himself. Take Blessing of Beasts and Landscape Vegetables as an example, let alone have eaten them, they have never heard of them before. So Mr. Yan's words were just a last-ditch struggle to save face. In fact, the original owner's grandfather stopped cooking himself when he got old, and even if he was young, he definitely couldn't compare to Lu Jingqian's current cooking skills.

"It's only at this age that I deeply understand what Chairman Yan said before." Mr. Li put down his teacup and said, "This person's greatest blessing in life is to be able to enjoy enough food until he grows old. Now let's take a closer look. Come to think of it, it really is so. You said that at our age, we have nothing to do every day, don’t we just wait for three meals a day? As long as we eat comfortably and happily, what else is there to worry about in life? Sure enough, Feng Shui turns .”

The other old men nodded frequently and said words of approval.

"Old Hong." Mr. Wu said, "We will be honored by you in the future. In your grandson's Hongyuan Villa, we can enjoy all the delicious food that we didn't expect before. You mustn't despise us."

"If I despise you, why don't you stay here?" Old Man Hong asked.

"That's not true. Whether you dislike it or not, we are all determined. After living for so many decades, our skin has already become calloused. Can we still leave voluntarily because of being disliked? Then you underestimate us too much." .”

The old men laughed out loud.

It's just that Master Yan and the others couldn't quite laugh. The phrase "Feng Shui turns around" means everything.

Lu Jingqian took a shower and changed clothes, and was pressed against the wall by Hong Boxiao and kissed for a long time. Finally, he was able to part his lips. Lu Jingqian supported his shoulder and said, "Didn't you say that grandpa asked you to take me there? Let the old man It's rude to wait too long."

Hong Boxiao sucked on his mouth a few more times and said, "You have worked hard today, I will take you to receive the reward, let's go!"
