Chapter 332 Tao Qian and Seafood (1+1)(2/2)
After looking at the ingredients in the barrel, the butler thought about it and said to the cook on the side: "There are so many ingredients that I can't finish them all. Please pick out a portion and I will personally send it to the Wei Mansion for further advice."
How to cook.”
When the cooks heard that they were going to the Wei Mansion to ask for advice on cooking skills, they all raised their hands to show that they would go with them.
The housekeeper looked at the cook who first suggested asking for advice, "Just go and have a visit with me."
Wei Mansion.
After accepting tonight's banquet, Wei Cheng and Cai Yan went to bathe and change clothes together, preparing to set off.
It was still some time before the banquet started, so the couple took Liu He to a teahouse not far from Xie's house to wait.
Liu He also got an invitation. What Wei Cheng didn't expect was that today she wore the [Zixia] Hanfu that was given to her before.
In the teahouse, Xie Yu has been waiting for a long time.
Knowing that Wei Cheng and Cai Yan were coming to the banquet tonight, she had some cakes and tea prepared in the teahouse.
When an aristocratic family invites guests to dinner, where there is real food, they usually drink and talk things over, so it is necessary to put some food in your stomach.
The appearance of Liu He made Xie Yu a little startled, especially the Hanfu worn by Liu He. It looked like the craftsmanship of Wei Cheng. It was made of the same material as the Hanfu sold by Xiuhefang, but the shape was unique.
Xie Yu also wore a set of Hanfu today, which was of course a gift from Wei Cheng. The style was similar to Liu He's Hanfu, one purple and one red. As soon as she appeared at the door of the teahouse, she attracted a lot of people's attention.
Fortunately, Liu He wore a mask with gold tassels on her face, otherwise she would definitely have made some noise with her appearance.
In the elegant seats on the second floor, four people took their seats in stages. Wei Cheng and Cai Yan were shoulder to shoulder, and Liu He sat opposite Wei Cheng.
Xie Yu sat next to Liu He, always feeling that Liu He was weird and spent more time looking at Wei Cheng than he did.
The four of them made tea and chatted, and the time passed quickly.
Seeing that the banquet was getting closer, Xie Yu was about to stand up and invite everyone to come with him, but he saw the butler Qi Bo winking at him at the top of the stairs.
Xie Yuxiu frowned, first nodded to Wei Cheng and the others, then walked towards Uncle Qi and asked worriedly: "But what happened in the house?"
Butler Qi Bo bowed respectfully to Xie Yu, and then said awkwardly: "Back to Miss, everything is fine in the house, but..."
"Just what?" Xie Yu was impatient and asked.
Butler Qi Bo looked towards Wei Cheng and responded: "It's just the food sent by the distinguished guests. We don't know how to handle it. Originally it was nothing, but Tao Shijun specially ordered that everyone be treated to Naqi tonight.
If I don't present the thing, I'm afraid..."
Xie Yu didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, but it wasn't too small when she thought about it. After all, it was related to the family's reputation. But she didn't expect that the ingredients were so strange that even the cook at home didn't recognize them.
"Then why are you here?"
The steward Qi Bo bowed his hands to Xie Yu, then looked at Wei Cheng, who had his back to them, and whispered: "Everyone knows that Wei Shijun is well-informed, and there are no cooks in the Wei family who are not good at cooking, so I would like to ask for advice.
I'm a guard envoy, what do you think, young lady?"

"..."
"The ingredient you mentioned should be called lobster."
After listening to the butler's description, Wei Cheng said with a smile: "The cooking method is quite simple. You can steam it, boil it, or slice it and eat it raw like fish meat. However, my favorite is charcoal grilling. Add some
Minced garlic, tsk tsk tsk.”
None of the people present had ever eaten lobster, so they couldn't imagine what kind of delicacy steamed lobster with garlic vermicelli is.
However, seeing that Wei Cheng knew the ingredients, the housekeeper and Xie Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Wei Cheng suddenly remembered something, looked at Cai Yan and said, "Yan'er, do you want to try something new?"
Wei Cheng suddenly remembered that he went to the seafood market in the morning to purchase a batch of fresh ingredients, which were being placed in the space.
Hearing what Wei Cheng said, several people looked surprised.
The butler asked excitedly: "Do you also have lobster ingredients here?"
Wei Cheng chuckled, waved his hand and said, "It's just lobster. I not only have lobster here, but also abalone, sea cucumber, blue crab... I have everything Xuzhou has. Isn't that weird?"
When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately had an idea in his mind.
He hurriedly explained: "You don't know anything. The scribe from Xuzhou said that it is not easy to transport sea goods. Many people died along the way. When we arrived in Hedong, only a few lobsters were still alive. The others were all rotten and inedible.
.”
Wei Teng nodded slightly, "That's true. There is no specific transportation device for seafood. There is really no way to send it to the east of the river. It's already amazing if a few lobsters can survive."
"Yes, yes, I just don't know about the seafood here, but?" Butler Qi Bo chuckled.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he didn't know what he was thinking.
No matter what Tao Qian thought, using ingredients that were not available in Hedong to make things difficult for Mr. Xie without telling him how to cook them was just a show of intimidation. They had already taken action first, and Mr. Xie had no reason not to give them back.
