Chapter 1102: Jiangsu Long Fish Feast
In fact, Xiong Cub has been to Yangzhou, and he also feels too big and strange, but when he went there, the little guy didn't know if he was not adapting to the new environment or how, and he actually had stress symptoms.
Although it was only slight, it also scared the old lady enough, so she ended her trip to Yangzhou on the same day and brought the bear cub back.
In view of the stress of the bear cub last time, Xu Zhuo had to be more cautious this time.
In order to prevent stress, Xu Zhuo not only brought the bear cub's cat bowl and litter box, but also brought several toys, for fear that the little guy would not be adaptable.
As for the Evian mineral water it drinks every day, Yu Keke even asked Pang Lihua to keep several boxes at home, for fear that it would have no water to drink after it got there.
However, the cat is a very strange creature, and it is obviously bought such expensive imported mineral water, but the bear cub is most interested in the water in the toilet.
Every time he forgot to close the toilet door, he would sneak in and steal a drink, and even learned to lift the toilet lid without a teacher.
It's a genius!
After loading all the things to be brought into the car, Xu Zhuo asked everyone to get in the car and prepare to go.
Yu Coco and the bear cub stayed in the back, and there was food and drink in the back seat, and there was also the cashmere rug that the bear cub liked to sleep on his stomach.
And Wei Junming sat in the co-pilot and helped Xu Zhuo watch the road.
Originally, Xu Wenhai also planned to follow, but now the matter of the visiting professor is almost trembling, and it is not appropriate for him to follow too closely.
After all, if you are a professor, even if you are a guest, you can't lose the style of a professor.
If you are too positive, it will make the school look down on you, so it is better to wait at home, anyway, this trip will definitely be done.
Xu Zhuo helped the school find a top teacher, and came forward to help the school publicize, at this time it must be very easy to get a place as a guest professor.
You don't even need to open your mouth to the school, after all, Xu Wenhai's qualifications are completely enough.
It's summer vacation, and it's getting hotter and hotter.
Outside the car window, the trees are shady, and the corn fields in the distance are as far as the eye can see.
In this case, it is quite good to drive, but after a long time, this plain scenery will always be a little aesthetically fatigued, relatively speaking, it is more exciting to go to the mountains.
was worried that Xu Zhuo would doze off, so Wei Junming chatted with Xu Zhuo all the way.
And he followed the high-speed driving principle of "every three must enter", and let Xu Zhuo drive in every two service areas to rest for a while.
Drink some water, go to the toilet, and take a walk around the supermarket in the service area to see if there are any snacks worth buying.
After resting for one or twenty minutes, Wei Junming drove the car, and Xu Zhuo sat on the co-pilot.
People's attention span is limited, and although it is okay to run for hours on end, it is safer to replace it.
I drove all the way, and finally got off the highway at about two o'clock in the afternoon.
Yu Changjiang had already called before, and the first floor had already prepared a meal, and asked a few people to go directly to the first floor to eat after getting off the highway.
Xu Zhuo didn't refuse, anyway, everyone is not an outsider, so after getting off the highway, he followed the navigation all the way to the first floor of Yangzhou.
Outside the door of the first floor, as soon as Xu Zhuo parked the car, Yu Changjiang and Pang Lihua greeted him: "I haven't dared to go anywhere after you have been old for a long time, for fear of missing you." ”
He is handsome and speaks well, Xu Zhuo said that he likes it very much.
When Yu Keke got out of the car with the bear cub in her arms, Pang Lihua hurriedly greeted her, saying that she wanted to pet this famous cat on the Internet.
However, the bear cub is very uncomfortable with the environment here, and only dares to crouch in Coco's arms, and does not dare to go anywhere.
Cats are like this, they usually have a lot of courage to show off their might at home, but after changing the environment, they immediately can't do it, and they don't have any sense of security at all.
After the group finished greetings, they came to the first floor.
At this time, Xu Zhuo found out that Zheng Guangyao was actually here, he was on crutches, wearing a thin Tang suit, his hair was all white, but his spirit was very good.
"Hello Grandpa Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time and you're still so energetic. ”
Yu Keke's mouth was sweet, and when he saw the old man, he hurried over to say hello, which made Zheng Guangyao very satisfied, and said in a loud voice: "The meal has been prepared for you in the private room upstairs, let's go and eat, Xiao Zhuo, Junming, don't stand, let's go together." ”
Zheng Guangyao heard that Xu Zhuo was coming today, so he came to the first floor early to wait.
For Xu Zhuo's talent and personality, he really likes it.
If it's your own grandchildren......
Alas, don't mention it.
After coming to the private room upstairs, the table was full of food, but most of them were buckled with thermal covers, probably because they were afraid of the cold.
A waiter came in and removed the insulated covers one by one, and Xu Zhuo realized that these dishes were all made of eel.
This kind of banquet with a whole table full of eel as ingredients has a nice name in Huaiyang cuisine - long fish feast.
Long fish is another name for eel, which is the same meaning as many places call snakes long worms.
In Huaiyang cuisine, the long fish feast is very painstaking, because all dishes must be made of eel, and the dishes cannot be repeated, which adds a lot of difficulty to the maker.
But in the hands of the master of Huaiyang cuisine, who is known for his knife work and techniques, eel has been created hundreds of practices, and "the immortals have heaven and earth, and the dishes have one hundred and eight" is the true portrayal of long fish dishes.
Up to now, a standard long fish feast has 36 dishes, divided into eight large bowls, eight small bowls, sixteen plates, and four dim sum.
Of course, today's table dishes are not so particular, there are only about a dozen dishes, all of which are high-quality dishes at the long fish banquet, such as the soft long fish that has been at the state banquet, as well as long fish balls, long fish soup, long fish silk, boiled tiger tail, oolong eggs, big roasted butterfly slices, etc.
The dishes were very rich, and a few people ate a little snack along the way, so I was really hungry at this time.
Yu Changjiang brought a bottle of Yanghe Daqu with a sense of age, opened it and began to pour wine for Zheng Guangyao and Wei Junming.
Xu Zhuo looked at the bottle of wine and felt a little weird, because the bottle was full of English.
Is this sold to foreigners in the end?
Perhaps seeing Xu Zhuo's doubts, Zheng Guangyao said beside him: "This is the export version of Yanghe in the eighties, the quality of the wine is higher, not only you have treasured a lot of it from Grandpa Yu, but I have also hidden dozens of bottles." ”
I see, I've seen it for a long time.
Seeing that Xu Zhuo was interested in this wine, Yu Changjiang hurriedly came over with a wine bottle: "Come on, come on, I'll fill it for you, this wine is usually not drinkable." ”
Xu Zhuo shook his head, feeling that it was more comfortable to drink the cold Coke in front of him: "Forget it, just let me take a photo after you pour the wine later, I prefer the packaging of this wine bottle." ”
After the greetings, everyone began to eat.
Xu Zhuo took a small dish of soft fish in front of him, lowered his head and took a bite carefully, for fear of eating the eel's bones.
But when he chewed twice, he realized a problem.
These eels are all boneless, there are no spines in them, and they can be eaten in a big gulp.
Wow!
Is this Huaiyang cuisine?
Love, love, love, this is too suitable for people like me who can't spit fish bones.
Xu Zhuo immediately made up his mind, and after eating later, he would go to the kitchen to learn the technique of eel deboning.
Uh-huh, I am eager to learn in my hands, and I don't have to worry about cooking skills.
Lao Tzu will learn all the Huaiyang dishes after all!
