Chapter 27 Chili
Zhu Wushi? Zhu Wushi...
Um?
Suddenly, Zhu Zian thought of the cheapest uncle he had just recognized, Zhu Chongba.
Could it be...
"Young Master, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
Although there were some speculations, Zhu Zi'an still carefully confirmed it again.
"The Taoist priest is Zhu Zi'an, a little real person in Wudang?"
Zhu Wushi asked.
"It's the path!"
Now, Zhu Zian had already determined in his heart that the person in front of him was the son of the cheap fourth uncle!
My cousin!
"That's right. My father is your fourth uncle, so we are naturally your cousin!"
Zhu Wushi said quickly, while his eyes were staring at Zhu Zi'an.
I want to see something from Zhu Zi'an's eyes.
Unfortunately, all I saw was a pair of relief after being stunned.
It seems that this cousin really doesn't know the true identity of his father.
"Haha, it turns out that he is the son of the fourth uncle's family. Please sit down quickly!"
Zhu Zian looked enthusiastic and quickly asked Zhu Wushi to sit down.
"I'm a little rude when I first came to see my second brother. Please forgive me."
After sitting down, thinking of the cousin who was a little lonely as his father said, Zhu Wushi took the lead in speaking.
"Although my father has four brothers in his generation, after famine and war over the years, only the two lines of my father and uncle are left behind. My father has a lot of property and has a large family; while my uncle's line is small, with only one cousin and one little nephew. Originally, my father... I thought that most of my second uncle and third uncle... I didn't expect that my third uncle had a cousin and a cousin survived the world. Now, we have another second brother!
These two days have made my father very happy..."
"It is also Zi'an's honor to be able to accidentally find the fourth uncle!"
Zhu Zi'an said slowly, and was guessing the purpose of this cousin's visit.
After a while, the kitchen has already prepared the food and brought it up.
The waiter with a wink saw Zhu Wushi sitting over, and quickly added a pair of dishes.
“Huh?”
Zhu Biao, who was originally planning to be more reserved, suddenly seemed to smell something. He sucked his nose a few times, then lowered his head, looked at the dish on the table in front of him, and then turned his head to see the dish he was eating on the side, with a little suspicious expression.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Wanxi, who had been standing behind Zhu Biao, felt nervous when she saw Zhu Biao's face, and asked quickly.
"Wanxi, have you noticed that this table of dishes smells better than mine?"
Zhu Biao said with some uncertainty.
This made Wanxi helpless and didn't know how to answer. He didn't eat it so far away, so how could he smell it?
"Haha, that's for sure!"
At this time, Xuan Pingzi, who was standing beside him, replied.
"Why? Is there any different sayings about the food in this restaurant?"
Now, Zhu Biao was a little confused.
“Because the dishes we eat are different from those of all the diners here, the seasonings we make are also different.”
Xuan Pingzi continued.
"The seasonings used in these dishes are all brought by us from Wudang, and are specially given to us for ourselves and not sold to the public..."
"Fifty, you can try it too, it should be more delicious than what you just ate!"
Zhu Zi'an said, after working hard all morning, his stomach was so hungry that he couldn't bear it. He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite first.
"Thank you, second brother!"
Smelling the tempting fragrance of the food on the table in front of him, Zhu Biao didn't care about being polite.
"hiss……"
I picked up the chopsticks and as soon as I put them in my mouth, there was a spicy smell that was extremely attractive to the appetite, which followed.
"tasty!"
Zhu Biao could no longer help but picked up the chopsticks and started eating hard.
The final result was that after two meals, Zhu Wushi collapsed on the chair, not wanting to move for a moment.
"Sorry, the first time I have eaten such a delicious dish, I couldn't control my mouth for a while, which made my second brother and Taoist Master Xuan Pingzi laugh!"
Aware of his indecency, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Zhu Biao's face.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and no one knows his identity.
"Haha, it's not too much, it's not too much. I remember when Xiaodao first ate this kind of delicacy, he almost suffocated his stomach. He lay in bed for a whole day and a half before recovering!"
Seeing this, Xuan Pingzi chuckled, but also remembered the scene when the uncle of the junior teacher made great efforts to invite all the people of the mountain to dinner for the first time.
After a meal, more than 200 people in the mountain lay down more than 100 people!
"The seasoning was not complete at that time, but the taste of the food today was far worse!"
Zhu Zi'an said in a quiet voice, "There were no peppers at that time, and even the fine salt was just a first-hand product, and the accuracy was not yet perfect!"
"Can pepper? Salted salt?"
Zhu Biao has heard of these nouns for the first time, and he couldn't help but look confused.
"Chi pepper is a vegetable that is more spicy than pepper, mustard, and dogwood. When cooking, adding a little chili can stimulate the secretion of the stomach and intestines and make people particularly appetite. The spicy taste of this table of dishes just now is different from the one you ordered..."
"Second salt is a specially extracted white salt, white and fine, without a trace of bitter taste. The taste of the meal with fine salt and official salt is very different!"
Zhu Zi'an explained slowly.
"But why haven't I heard of chili peppers and fine salt? Moreover, I have never eaten it..." Zhu Biao continued.
"I specially sent people to get the peppers from overseas to find them. As for the fine salt, I also specially refined them for the sake of eating."
Zhu Zi'an continued, "Because Wudang Mountain has few people, peppers and fine salt have always been satisfied with the consumption of the Wudang School and will not be sold for too much. Sometimes the excess will be stored in the warehouse. However, the quantity will not be too large."
"The meal we have today should be the last one. The chili we brought from Wudang have also been eaten!"
"As for today, in addition to the Wudang Sect, the only one who can eat fine salt and pepper is the only one who can eat the most!
"King of Wu?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but widen his eyes. But why did he never hear or eat it?
Zhu Zian didn't think much about Zhu Biao's strange expression, thinking that Zhu Biao was just surprised.
"Yes, the peppers and salt we can't finish eating are all 'sold' to the King of Wu..."
Zhu Zi'an said it lightly, but Zhu Biao couldn't help but remember what his father told him about Wudang Mountain.
Finally, his face gradually became weird.
"Second brother, what does that chili look like?"
Zhu Zian looked at Zhu Biao with a strange look, but explained:
"Cité pepper is a fruit that is about the size of an adult's finger, but it's red!"
"I understand!"
Thinking of the strings of peppers hanging in the palace of his mother, Zhu Biao finally understood.
Why have I never eaten chili?
However, when Zhu Biao thought of the chili peppers in the palace, he could no longer sit still.
After resisting the restlessness in his heart, he continued to ask Zhu Zi'an for some advice on how to eat chili peppers, and then hurried to the palace with Wanxi.
Left a duo with a confused face.
