As the servants of the Su family placed the dishes on the table one by one, Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder how much this table of delicacies would cost.
Just looking at the things Lin Yi knew, such as bear paws, bird's nests, shark's fins, sea cucumbers, etc., were already precious enough, let alone those ingredients that Lin Yi had never seen before.
"Sister Ling, Brother Lin, the chef in the house does a good job of grilling bear paws. Try it."
Before the bear paws were served, the cook had already used a knife The whole bear paw is cut into a size that is convenient for entry.
Ling Xuan was not polite at all. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Then her eyes lit up. While chewing, she praised Su Xiu'er: "This cook does a good job, better than the cook at my house." Eat too much!"
Good boy...my cook...
This Ling Xuan's worth seems to be quite high.
Lin Yi also picked up a piece and tasted it. Lin Yi had no chance to taste this precious ingredient in the last life, let alone this life.
Putting a small piece of bear paw meat into your mouth, the texture and taste were completely beyond Lin Yi's expectations.
Lin Yi thought that the bear paws, which looked very rough, would taste stiff, but unexpectedly, they turned out to be crispy and smooth in the mouth, which was intriguing.
Seeing Su Xiu'er looking at him, Lin Yi nodded quickly and said with a smile: "It's delicious."
Hearing what Lin Yi said, a smile immediately appeared on Su Xiu'er's face.
"Sister Ling, Brother Lin, would you like to taste the bird's nest in our house again? Is it different from the bird's nest you usually eat?"
Ling Xuan scooped it up gently. Put a spoonful into your mouth.
"Hmm~~"
Ling Xuan couldn't help but nod, took another spoonful and put it into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then said: "This is the authentic blood swallow. Sister, you are really good. You can still get this kind of ingredients at this time. You have to worry about it today."
Su Xiuer smiled like a flower and replied: "Sister likes it."< /p>
Blood swallow is the most precious kind of bird’s nest.
Swifts nest on the rock wall of the cave. The minerals inside the rock wall slowly penetrate into the bird's nest through the contact surface between the bird's nest and the rock wall or through the dripping water from the rock wall. Among them When the iron element is in the majority, it will show a partially irregular, halo-like rusty red color. Pickers call this "blood swallow".
You must know that now is the season where summer and autumn intersect, and bird's nests are usually collected in February, April, and August. It is rare for such fresh ingredients to be preserved until now, let alone the extremely rare blood bird's nest. .
When Su Xiuer turned her head and asked Lin Yi's opinion with her eyes, this young man who had never eaten bird's nest finally managed to hold back two more words.
“It’s delicious!”
Ling Xuan smiled across from her.
Lin Yi's face turned red.
To be honest, no matter where he is, Lin Yi has never lived such a wealthy life.
After finishing the two dishes, Su Xiuer finally recommended the second dish to the two people sitting next to her.Three courses.
"This dish is highly recommended by me."
Following what Su Xiuer pointed out, Lin Yi saw a steamed fish that looked ordinary in appearance.
What’s so surprising about this?
Ling Xuan looked at the dish carefully and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, this can't be anchovies, right?"
Su Xiuer gave a thumbs up and replied Said: "Sister Ling has good eyesight! This is the shad that comes once a year."
Lin Yi has heard about shad. This kind of fish can only be caught and marketed at the turn of spring and summer. A very delicate fish.
This time, Lin Yi finally had a chance to show off.
"Hmm... I do know about this anchovy. It is a delicacy among fishes. As the saying goes, braised anchovies are delicious at both ends, and steamed anchovies are tempting to the gods. The taste of this steamed anchovy must be Very good, we are lucky enough to be able to be immortals for once."
Su Xiu'er said with a smile: "Brother Lin is really good at talking. This anchovy ingredient is indeed very precious, Xiu'er thought. This kind of steamed anchovy can retain the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent, allowing the two of you to taste the deliciousness of the fish itself." Ling Xuan picked up the chopsticks and said, "If my sister is interested, then I won't. You're welcome."
"Sister, why are you so polite? Hurry up and eat, Brother Lin, you can eat too."
After introducing the three dishes, Su Xiu'er stopped introducing them. Start calling everyone to eat and drink together.
This table of dishes is really full of all kinds of precious ingredients, not to mention sea cucumbers, asparagus, mushrooms, Sichuan bamboo shoots, etc., there are also a lot of ingredients from the middle and upper delicacies. .
Historically, this delicacy from the mountains and seas was divided into twenty-four kinds of precious ingredients: the upper eight delicacies, the middle eight delicacies, and the lower eight delicacies.
The eight delicacies this time are sea cucumber, asparagus, mushrooms, Sichuan bamboo shoots, red phosphorus, scallops, oyster yolks, and mullet eggs.
The eight delicacies are shark fin, white fungus, anchovy, broad tripe, civet cat, hash ant, fish lip, and skirt.
The most precious eight delicacies are raccoon lips, camel humps, monkey heads, bear paws, bird's nests, duck breasts, deer sinews, and yellow-lipped dragons.
These ingredients are not only precious, but also very rare. < /p>
Su Xiu'er also picked up the wine glass and said, "Sister Ling, my friend's family background is far inferior to yours, so just charge a few taels less and it won't delay things."
How many taels of silver? That's far from as simple as a few taels of silver.
Ling Xuan raised her cup and replied with a smile: "Sister Xiu'er, I see you have spent a lot of money today. This table of dishes costs dozens of taels of silver, plus your noodles." , If I don’t lower the price later, I won’t be ashamed to ask you to call me sister. As for this Lin Yi, I don’t think you are an ordinary friend of sister Xiuer..."
Su Xiu. A look on his faceHong, whispered angrily: "How can there be..."
Ling Xuan looked at Su Xiu'er's charming, shy appearance, and she knew what she was doing.
"Lin Yi, let's do this. I must give Sister Xiu'er face. If...you call me sister like Sister Xiu'er, then the house will give you four hundred taels." You do it."
When Lin Yi heard this, his eyes lit up!
Four hundred taels? !
Su Xiuer said it was six hundred taels, but now it was cut off by two hundred taels.
Sister is so valuable, of course Lin Yi will call her.
"Sister Ling, Lin Yi has thanked you in advance!"
After that, do it first out of respect and not give the other party any chance to regret it.
Ling Xuan looked at Su Xiu'er's handsome face and couldn't help but joked: "Our sister Xiu'er's vision is definitely not wrong."
This Now that the issue of the price of the house is settled, everyone can start talking about the next topic.
Ling Xuan seemed to be very familiar with and interested in Lin Yi.
When it comes to Lin Yi Rugui Lou defeating Liu Rushuan, Lu Cui Lou’s tribute to Zheng Taifu, and establishing the popular Lin Xiu Gloves with Su Xiu’er, Ling Xuan seems to know everything about them, and she actually knows everything about them. These things are clear to the mind.
"Miss Su, you have completely sold me out."
Lin Yi smiled bitterly.
Ling Xuan replied: "No, it's just that you are usually busy, and Sister Xiu'er has nowhere to deal with it. She only has to come here to talk for a while, but every time she comes here, the topic is always different. I won’t let you go.”
When Lin Yi heard this, he immediately fell silent.
This is a guilty conscience...
"I was still thinking at the time, who could make our sister Xiu'er, who has always been more eye-catching, miss us so much? Now it's hard to see We’re here.”
