Chapter 59 Unsightly(1/2)

That night, Lu Chu asked Xu Mu to make a fresh fish soup, wrapped it in a delicate food box, and delivered it to the Prince of Yue’s Mansion.

After learning that Yang Tong wanted to drink fish soup, Xu Mu immediately monitored the whole process in the kitchen, not only letting them use woks and chicken essence, but also letting them use white salt.

Most of the nobles of this era used green salt.

Although it is fine, there are too many impurities, so it is inevitable that it tastes a bit astringent.

If it’s okay to just cook, it’s because cooking can find ways to get rid of the astringency.

But it’s different to stew the soup.

The requirements for impurities-free white salt are extremely high.

These chefs practice new kitchen utensils and new seasonings every day, and they already have a lot of experience.

This time, under the supervision of Xu Mu, the taste was better than Lu Chu's fish soup before and the umami taste was more delicious.

After Xu Mu finished the savor, he asked someone to send it to Lu Chu.

It was transferred by Lu Chu to the Yue Palace.

Otherwise, the people in Xianweiju would not be able to enter the strictly guarded King Yue Mansion.

In the palace of King Yue.

Yang Tong was having a dinner.

Eight dishes per table.

Because the battle situation in Luoyang was tight, Yang Tong set an example and lived a "frugal" life, reducing daily necessities.

He originally had sixteen dishes, but he cut them half of them, with only eight dishes each.

After receiving the food box sent by Lu Chu, a special person from the royal palace tried the poison. After confirming that it was not poisonous, Yang Tong picked up the fish soup and started drinking it.

At first, he just took a sip.

After all, he ate the world fresh in Heyi Tower dozens of times.

It is unlikely that other fish soup can surpass Heyilou.

It was just because Master Lu vigorously praised the fish soup of Xianweiju in front of him.

That's why he became interested.

He knew very well that Master Lu's temperament was not recommended to him if it wasn't really delicious.

He scooped a bite of the soup with a spoon and put it in his mouth. Yang Wu didn't feel anything at first.

But when the tip of the tongue touched the soup, the eyes couldn't help but open, and a umami smell that had never been seen before hit the tip of the tongue and throat.

“This soup…”

After the fish soup entered his stomach, he savored the deliciousness between his mouth and suddenly became stunned.

He has never drunk such a soup.

Even the fish soup in Heyilou is like a farmer slave compared to the soup in this food box.

The translation of the tranquil is the meaning of a country bumpkin.

Yang Tong couldn't believe his taste, so he quickly picked up the spoon and continued to drink a few sips.

The more you drink, the more addicted you become.

After a while, I finished drinking all the fish soup.

Even the fish and meat were eaten without any left.

The attendants around him were even more shocked to see.

They had never seen His Highness, King of Yue, have such a good appetite...

"Hahahaha, Master Lu really doesn't deceive me. This soup is really a delicious food in the world, with a fragrant mouth and a fresh fragrance, and a long aftertaste."

Yang Tong burped, then reluctantly put down the soup spoon.

He has been frugal since he was a child, and he has eaten all the delicacies and seafood in the world.

But I have never eaten such delicious fish soup.

"If this soup appeared in the world, the world of Heyi Tower would probably have changed its name."

Reminiscing the umami taste of fish soup, Yang Tong couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that Master Lu said that this restaurant has not opened yet and needs to wait until the next day. Otherwise, Gu Ming will have to visit privately on a private basis and see the owner of this restaurant."

As Yang Tong thought about it, he couldn't help but become curious about the owner of Xianweiju.

He is a person who knows the goods.

Mastering such a famous dish is destined to have a place in Luoyang City in the future.

In such a restaurant, he is honored to use the plaques written by him.

This shows that his words have been recognized by the world...

...

The next day.

Yang Tong discovered a serious problem.

During lunch, even though there were all the famous dishes such as roast lamb on the table, he... had no appetite.

As soon as he thinks about the fish soup he drank yesterday, he feels that other foods are tasteless.

No, it should be said to be hard to swallow!

The umami taste kept echoing in his heart.

It lingers endlessly.

This led to him having a simple dough cake at noon.

By night, the same is true.

He actually wanted to drink Xianweiju's fish soup.

He even wanted to ask Master Lu to bring a portion of fish soup for him.

But in the end, he held back.

If Master Lu knows, he will definitely give advice and talk about the various consequences that may be caused by the desire to speak out.

At the least, you will lose your ambition and become a playboy, and at the worst, you will lose your family, the country and the country will lose your country and the country will lose your...

Yang Tong was tasteless and spent the night in pain.

The next day, Xianweiju ushered in the opening ceremony.

Under Fan Zhu's arrangement, Yongkangli beat drums and drums, which was very lively.

But Fan Zhu was a little disappointed with this and said quite nostalgic: "Wanmin City is better. If there are firecrackers, the opening will definitely be a hundred times more lively than Luoyang City."

Xu Mu nodded too.

The penetration power of firecrackers is far beyond what these gongs and drums can match.

However, as a strategic weapon, gunpowder is not the best time to get out of the mountains.

Moreover, if the firecrackers are used rashly, I am afraid that the people in Luoyang City will kneel down and shout that the gods will calm down.

"Young Master, it's really hard to open today." Fan Zhu and Xu Mu stood side by side at the door of Xianweiju, watching how lively the beating drums and drums were, and there were many people around him, but none of them came to him, and their faces looked a little ugly.

In front of outsiders, Fan Zhu no longer called Xu Mu the lord, but called the prince.

Xu Mu also looked at the people at the entrance of the restaurant. They all pointed at the gate of Xianweiju. It was almost noon, but no one seemed to come in for dinner.

"It seems that this is Duan Xuankun's method. Let's investigate what's going on."

Xu Mu knew without guessing that these people were supposed to be used by Duan Xuankun to order them not to enter the Immortal Flavor House.

Afterwards, Fan Zhu ordered people to sneak into the audience and ask why.

After learning the reason, Fan Zhu's face became even more ugly: "Young Master, Duan Xuankun issued a ban in Yongkang. If anyone enters Xianweiju, he will not be able to eat salt from now on."

The official salt in Luoyang City is basically controlled by the Duan family.

However, because the profits of official salt were too small, the Duan family found an opportunity and became a private salt dealer.

Xu Mu nodded and said lightly: "Wait, Duan Xuankun's methods must be more than that."

If this is the case, it will not be stressed.

Duan Xuankun wants to make fine salt, so he must continue to put pressure on him.

Sure enough, not long after, three groups of people appeared.

They held various kitchen utensils and seasonings and actually built a stove on the street facing Xianweiju.

As if it had been discussed, three cooks started cooking in front of Xianweiju’s door.

A family of roasted lamb.
