To be honest, the five drunk shrimps are really not enough to be stuck in the teeth. They are not the kind of shrimps themselves, they just taste the taste.

Needless to say, it is delicious, even if you have finished eating, you will still have some savoring the umami flavor. If you have the conditions, you may still think about it and go back and find an opportunity to make it. If you eat too much of this thing, you will probably become addicted and you will probably not be able to stop until you feel tired of your taste.

"The second dish, the soup before - the dragon and phoenix show auspiciousness!" The eunuch looked at everyone who had finished eating, so he left the list and announced.

"This Wang Wuyou won't really stew the dragon, right?" Dong Cheng said jokingly.

"The dragon does not exist at all, it should be something else. Speaking of which, some time ago, I seemed to have bought some crocodile dragons in the palace. Could it be that?" Xun Yu, who had been promoted to the Shaofu, replied that now she can also take advantage of the imperial banquet openly.

"The meat of the dragon... is a bit curious..." Wang Yun sighed a little. After all, that thing is almost the legendary thing. But even the meat is so curious, he must be very curious about what the meat tastes. The dragon is also a dragon after all!

"But even if it's a dragon, you will not have any objection to eating dragon meat directly?" Yang Biao asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty seems to be looking forward to the meat of a dragon..." Cao Cao smiled, "but he also issued an order to deduct the imperial banquet, prohibiting eating the dragon in various places. However, if the dragon hurts the people and poses a threat to the local area, it can be reported and approved and hunted!"

After all, a dragon is not a dragon, but at most it is a distant relative. However, the dragon is a symbol of the royal family. If people eat it, it will somewhat reduce the people's awe of the royal family, so it is forbidden to eat it privately. However, if animals are animals, if they do something that is harmful to the nature and the truth, after reporting, the emperor will approve the hunt and kill it, which can be considered as safeguarding the face and reputation of the royal family.

At the same time, putting the dragon meat into the imperial banquet can also be regarded as a manifestation of the emperor and his closest minister.

"After that, we still don't know if this dragon and phoenix came to auspiciously, is it a dragon flesh..." Xun Yu tilted his head, "but it has been brought up..."

As the words were finished, the kitchen had already brought a bowl of soup one after another. It was really only the size of a bowl. Some ingredients were seen sporadically, but that was all the same.

"Is this... maybe..." Cao Cao scooped a spoonful of them and saw a piece of meat, and seemed to understand something.

"Is that thing stewed too, is it okay?" Xun Yu was a little worried.

"Snake soup?" Peng Qi seemed to recognize it, "It's very delicious, this thing!"

"Well, I used the King Cobra, a very big poisonous snake!" Wang Yong explained.

"I won't get poisoned, right?" Liu Xie asked.

"The main toxicity of the poisonous snake comes from the poisonous sac on the head. In other words, as long as the poisonous sac is removed, there will be no problem. Before it was brought up, the imperial chef had already tried poison in advance." Wang Yong replied, "I drank a bowl myself."

"What should I do if something happens to you..." Liu Xie said angrily.

"It is also normal in the industry. When cooking puffer fish, you have to taste it first after cooking, so there is no problem before you can taste it for diners. Since I use toxic ingredients to cook dishes, as a chef, you should also taste it first." Wang Yong replied.

After all, the Imperial Chef is not an ordinary chef. If someone maliciously commits his work and then falsely accuses him of this, he might really have to bear the injustice. In contrast, if there is a problem with tasting the soup directly, at most he is not good at cooking.

"But I remember, aren't you immortal with all poisons?" Liu Xie thought about it and replied.

"It's not that I'm immune to any toxins, but that I have a strong resistance to toxins. So if the soup is poisonous, I will feel uncomfortable for a while, but at least I won't die. But if it's someone else, I'll really die." Wang Yong replied.

"So this dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the dragon is a king-glass cocoon, so phoenix... don't tell me it's **?" Peng Qi looked up.

"It's the turtledove, hesitating among the pigeons, flying dragons and quails." Wang Yong replied after hearing this, "In addition, yam, and seasoning, only salt."

"Just added salt?" Liu Xie felt very strange. This seasoning is too simple, right? You know, this is an imperial banquet!

"I tasted it, and it will be clear." Wang Yong smiled mysteriously.

"Then, let's try it first!" Liu Xie was not saying anything, but scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it in his mouth and sipped it.

A very strong fragrance swept over and impacted the brain. An image of auspicious dragon and phoenix formed a shape in his mind. Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and looked at the soup in the bowl in disbelief.

"Why is it so fresh?" Liu Xie asked curiously.

"After all, this is also a means of emphasis. I use high-quality mountain spring water and let it sit for a while before using it. The sweetness of mountain spring water is very sweet. The key point is that the more poisonous the snake, the better the meat will be. So when I chose king cobra and turtle dove as ingredients to make soup, I had this idea, that is, to emphasize the original deliciousness of the ingredients, I only used salt for seasoning!" Wang Yong replied.

But salt is not ordinary salt. This salt is the remaining salt after smoked seaweed, with the taste of "smoked", full of umami flavor. Of course, the most important foreshadowing is naturally the drunk shrimp of the appetizer!

"Sure enough, no wonder the appetizer was placed in front this time!" Cao Cao took a sip of the soup, was intoxicated for a few seconds, and then came to his senses and sighed.

"The taste of this soup is very pure!" Wang Yun nodded, "It seems that there is no extra seasoning and no ginger slices, but the umami and fragrance are very obvious. What removes the last bit of fishy smell of this dish and builds the complete dish is the umami flavor of the shrimp and wine in the previous dish!"

In other words, use the aroma of the previous dish that remains in the mouth to sublimate this dish. Of course, you can pour cooking wine or something into it at the beginning, but this natural fragrance is difficult to cook.

No, it is not so natural, but rather a wild flavor! The wildness of the two ingredients, accompanied by this soup, fills the whole body, and I feel that I am full of strength and people become a little wild.

"The theme of tonight's banquet is not about wildness, right?" Dong Cheng was a little curious.

"The first dish is raw, the second dish is soup, but it only uses a few seasonings for seasoning." Liu Xie looked at Peng Qi at this moment, "Just like the evolution of civilization, people started by eating raw, then learned to roast and stew. Then they learned to fry, and then learned to stir-fry and steam... The dishes also went from simple cooking to complex craftsmanship. This is the evolution of civilization, and this is also the theme of tonight's banquet."

"So that's it, so the second dish is just salt!" Peng Qi suddenly realized. If other seasonings were added, it might be delicious, but it would be difficult to cook such pure game.
