573 Lost Imperial Dishes
"When I die in two days, how about you bury me in that sand pit on the top of Yanshan Temple?"
Liu Baye's tone was very calm.
It's like saying something that is just too common.
Liu Chunlai's foot that stepped forward suddenly stopped.
The bad feeling in my heart is even worse.
turned his head to look at Liu Baye on his back, but he couldn't see it at all.
"Eighth Ancestor, you are in good health! What are you talking about! Besides, if you don't go into the ancestral cemetery, you will be with the ancestors......"
Liu Chunlai didn't know what Liu Baye wanted.
Could it be that because I changed too many things, I didn't have the shame to see my grandfather, so I didn't enter the ancestral cemetery of Lao Liu's family?
If this is the case, how troublesome will the old man be in his old age?
All the old people, who does not want to enter the ancestral cemetery?
Liu Chunlai still remembers that when the school held a meeting, Liu Baye said in front of everyone that if someone in the old Liu family is unwilling to hand over the land to the brigade, when the time comes, don't think about going to the ancestral cemetery when he dies.
In front of countless people, a group of old men knelt down and pleaded.
The ancestral cemetery, that is where all the old people of the Liu family belong after a hundred years.
"The ancestral cemetery is too crowded, besides, I used to defeat the whole family, and I have long been shameless to see my grandfather...... The feng shui on the mountain is good, bury me there, and it can still prosper my Liu family for a hundred years, as for the future ......"
Liu Baye's tone was a little lonely.
Liu Chunlai's psychology was not a good feeling, and Liu Dachun, who was following next to him, wanted to say something, but in the end his lips just moved and didn't say anything.
"Eight ancestors, how can you call it a loser! You give what your ancestors have passed down to the surrounding neighbors......
"Don't talk nonsense, your baby just say agree or disagree!" Liu Baye was rarely angry at Liu Chunlai.
Clearly, he needed an answer.
"That sand pit is not a good location, shall we find a better place?" Liu Chunlai frowned.
The old man's mind is simple.
As for what he said to protect Liu Jiawang for a hundred years, Liu Chunlai didn't believe it.
If this works, just bury the grave of your grandfather and Lao Tzu in a good position, you don't need to work hard, don't you just sit back and wait to get rich?
Liu Baye didn't explain, "No need, I'll just take a fancy to that position." ”
Liu Chunlai also wanted to persuade the old man that the ancestral cemetery still had to be entered.
Liu Dachun, who had been silent next to him, spoke: "Chunlai, the original Eight Ancestors have already looked at the location of the ancestral cemetery, and the sand pit swing position on our fourth team above Yanshan Temple just happens to be able to see the ancestral house......"
After he said this, Liu Chunlai instantly understood.
Liu Baye wanted to watch.
But the place was bare, and there were stones all around.
Once it rains heavily, even though there is not much water coming down from the mountain, it will definitely wash away the entire grave.
The water washed away the grave, which is definitely not a good thing.
Could it be that Liu Baye wants to exchange his sins in the resting place for something?
Liu Baye waited silently for Liu Chunlai's reply.
"Eighth Ancestor, do you have to be there?"
"As long as it's there. ”
"Okay!" Liu Chunlai was no longer entangled.
Liu Baye didn't say a word, just put his hands on Liu Chunlai's shoulders and let Liu Chunlai carry him forward.
The old man in his nineties, although he is in good health, does not have much flesh on his body.
Very light.
But Liu Chunlai's steps were not fast.
"Eighth Ancestor, why don't you old man sit on a sliding rod?"
"Uncle Chunlai, I'll carry the Eight Ancestors......"
Along the way, I met a descendant who was not the old Liu family, and when I saw Liu Chunlai carrying Liu Baye on his back, Liu Dachun followed beside him, and the people I saw were all surprised.
Usually, Liu Baye travels, basically by sliding pole.
That's the only way to pay attention!
Only then can there be pomp!
When it doesn't matter, it won't be carried.
What's more, let Liu Chun carry him?
Everyone was surprised.
But no one was answered.
Liu Chunlai only vaguely felt something, but there was no evidence to support his feelings.
So he returned to the house.
"Hurry up, I'll wait for you......" Liu Fuwang watched Liu Chunlai come back with Liu Baye on his back, not surprised at all.
In the middle of the eighth master's courtyard, four tables were placed.
The leading cadres were seated, and Zheng Tianyou and other investors were sitting in the innermost position, and He Guohua and Xu Zhiqiang personally accompanied them.
On the table, there were a lot of dishes, but no one moved the chopsticks.
"I can't help it, I can't help it, I won't go to the table......" Liu Chunlai directly wanted to carry Liu Baye to the upper seat of the main table, Liu Baye shook his head.
"Eighth Ancestor, if your old man doesn't sit here, who will sit?" Liu Chunlai didn't look at He Guohua.
Leadership is leadership.
If they knew, if there were not so many women outside before Liu Baye, there would be no Zheng Tianyou and others coming back to find relatives.
Without the identity of a Hong Kong businessman, many things are not so easy to operate.
It is simply not possible to get to the point where it is now in such a short period of time.
"Yes, old man, you are the backbone of the entire Liu family, although today is a happy event for the four teams, it is also a happy event for the entire Liu family, if you hadn't handed over the flag to Chunlai, where could there be today......'s great joy?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have left their seats and waited for Liu Baye to come back before they started to sit.
He Guohua naturally did not hold his own identity and sat down at the top seat.
"Eighth Master, don't be polite to your old man, the dishes are cold, and there is a color plant in the afternoon......" Liu Fuwang also urged Liu Eighth Master.
On this occasion, uninvited leaders are not so welcome.
What's more, the city didn't give them any support.
There was less support in the road repair county, and when they came to the four teams, Liu Zhishu didn't have a good face for them.
Liu Baye stopped refusing and sat down.
Xu Zhiqiang actually asked Liu Chunlai to sit next to Liu Baye, which immediately frightened Liu Chunlai.
It's not something you can sit on a random table.
If it was at the in-laws of his three younger sisters, he didn't need to push it, and he just sat on the left side of the upper seat.
Here, either the seniority is much higher than him, or the level is too much higher than him.
"Vice Mayor He, sit down, I'm afraid of shaking my eyes. In addition, I have to greet people......" Liu Chunlai sat directly in the seat.
After some pushing, everyone finally sat down.
On the table of the Eight Immortals, there were already a lot of dishes and plates.
Most of the dishes are not exquisite, the only difference is that the portions are sufficient!
Rural banquets are not exquisite.
However, as a few main guests, even if there are no leading cadres and visitors from other places, there will be a few finale dishes in Liu Baye's house.
"This is a peony fish fillet, a craft handed down from Liu Zefu's family, using the meat on the belly of the grass carp in the river to process it into petal-shaped fish fillet, fry it, and then put it into a peony pattern when it is arranged......
Tian Mingfa, who came in with a tray, introduced to everyone when the food was served.
"Peony fish fillet, isn't it all lost?" Wu Hao looked shocked.
Looking at the dishes that had just been placed in the center of the table like peonies in full bloom, I couldn't help but lose my mind.
Some traditional classic dishes have slowly been lost in the previous era.
Many chefs with craftsmanship are almost all in the Black Five category.
He hadn't done it in decades, and this was the first time he had done it officially since he had been apprenticed to his father. When Tian Mingfa spoke, he looked at Liu Chunlai.
He could now clearly feel Liu Chunlai's estrangement from him.
You must know that he used to be the dog leg by Liu Chunlai's side, and many times when Liu Jiuwa was busy serving Liu Baye or Sun Xiaoyu, Liu Chunlai was the only one by his side.
Pity......
Finally, I won such an opportunity.
"Come, try it all, I haven't tasted this for decades......" Liu Baye picked up the chopsticks and motioned to everyone.
Liu Fuwang, who was sitting on one side, stood up and put a small bowl in front of Liu Baye.
"Click~"
Snow-white fillet, crisp.
As soon as it is bitten by the teeth, the fillet melts when it comes into contact with the saliva......
Then, a fresh aroma of fish spreads in the mouth......
"Sure enough, it is a legendary famous dish!" He Guohua also sighed.
He hadn't eaten it, he had only heard of it.
There were times when he couldn't afford it, and when he could, he couldn't find anyone to cook it.
Fish is not expensive and easy to find.
The key is the skill of making fish and the control of the heat.
"Come, serve, golden jade good fate!"
A plate of dishes was served.
There was a strange look in everyone's eyes.
Larger and longer than a toothpick, it is neatly arranged in the center of the plate like a golden stick.
"What is this?"
In the imagination, there is no such thing as a vegetable.
"Actually, it's bean sprouts that wear meat. On the outside, soybean sprouts are used to remove the head and tail, hollowed out in the middle, and then poured minced meat foam into the inside...... When I was a child, my grandfather made a banquet at home, and his grandfather made ......" Liu Baye sighed, "People outside say that it is lost......
It's a lost dish again!
After listening to the introduction, everyone moved their chopsticks.
The bean sprouts are originally heavy in water, and the outside is fried to a golden brown, while the meat foam inside is extremely fragrant.
"Definitely not pork!"
In recent years, although cadres' families do not eat meat every day, compared with ordinary people, cadres have many more opportunities to eat meat.
But the cadres didn't know what was inside.
Even Jin Defu and Zheng Tianyou and others, who had just eaten a chopstick and felt the taste from their taste buds, and when they hadn't swallowed it in their mouths, they didn't know what politeness and formality were, and they didn't care about other people, so they got off the chopsticks again.
A third of the plate was taken away with a single chopstick......
"Delicious......" Colt couldn't put into words.
"It's just too little, it's not enough to eat...... Alice kept moving in her hands, but her mouth was sighing.
For her, this amount is indeed a little less.
Such a delicious thing should be served on a large plate!
She didn't know how hard it was to make this dish.
The sprouts must be straight and straight, removing the roots and tops, which is not difficult, at most wasting more sprouts.
The real key is to pour the minced meat foam into the middle of the bean sprouts.
Finally, it is fried in the oil pan!
The bean sprouts with heavy moisture are fried until golden brown, and the requirements for heat can be imagined......
If Liu Zefu hadn't been grateful to Liu Chunlai, he wanted to show Liu Chunlai's hand, and he wanted Liu Chunlai to show his face, Liu Chunlai couldn't even think about these dishes.
Even if he used to eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
This thought is more than his grandfather's, the bean sprouts are fried to a crisp, and the fish and mutton are poured into it, the fish and sheep are fresh, and the crispy ...... It's a pity, if it was the emperor before, Zefu's baby might be able to become the imperial chef......"
After Liu Baye chewed slowly, he felt the taste in his mouth for a while before he spoke.
Imperial Kitchen!
Liu Zefu's level is so high?
Liu Chunlai's heart began to move.
If you open a big restaurant, it is estimated that you can attract a lot of people by relying on these two dishes.
Some people, after they have money, whether it is really for the food, or to show that they are different from others, no matter how expensive, will try it.
Just like his world, some so-called private dishes and century-old shops are secret and traditional craftsmanship at every turn, and the price is too expensive, but in fact, the amount of food is small, and it is still expensive.
At the beginning, it was only some dignitaries who could afford to eat.
In the end, when the income of ordinary people increased, they found that it was not delicious, and it was ridiculously expensive......
Don't you want to develop tourism?
When the time comes......
The last soup that came up was the most classic Sichuan dish - boiling cabbage!
The soup in the bowl is so clear and translucent that you can't even see a little oil flower, and the cabbage heart in the middle is like a blooming flower......
Needless to say, the dishes at the state banquet!
Everyone realized why this dish was served at a state dinner.
"Three top-notch dishes in a row, reward!" Liu Baye took a sip of the soup of boiling water and cabbage, stood up happily, and shouted outside.
In an instant, the entire courtyard was silent.
"Eight Ancestors ......" Liu Chunlai reminded Liu Baye that this is not what it used to be.
With this sentence alone, you can imagine how traditional Liu Baye is.
"We really deserve the award! Our old Liu family used to be down, and we didn't dare to make these dishes! This is also to tell everyone that we don't have to suffer anymore!" Liu Fuwang stood up.
turned the reward in Liu Baye's mouth into a prize.
Just one word change dissolves the embarrassment.
"If a person with such craftsmanship goes to a big coastal city to open a restaurant, the business will definitely be ......," He Guohua sighed.
Soon, Liu Zefu, who was wearing a greasy apron on his chest, came over.
"Brother Chunlai, how are these dishes?"
He didn't ask anyone else, but looked at Liu Chunlai blankly.
"Okay! It really opened my eyes!" Liu Chunlai did not hesitate to praise.
"These dishes are made to thank you for letting me, an unfortunate and unfortunate man, take charge of the dishes! Originally, when my father (died), I was told to never make these dishes again, and they were all ...... in the original imperial dining room."
Liu Zefu didn't know what people had done here, but he knew that they were definitely the people with the highest status today.
Even in front of these people, he did not hesitate to say that it was for Liu Chunlai.
This is to let Liu Chunlai show his face!
"Brother Zefu, as I said before, where are you an unlucky person! From today onwards, I will give you a task, train more cooks, and all our canteens will be handed over to you to manage......
"Bang~"
Liu Zefu knelt down directly in front of Liu Chunlai in public......
