Chapter 508: Weng Son-in-law Talks About Eating

Zhang Tong's heart is now like a little milk cat living in it, playing around in his heart, making him uncomfortable up and down, left and right.

Because he accidentally overheard the private conversation between Jiang Hua and his family last night, he felt as if every word Wang Qian and Jiang Aijun said was a test of himself from this morning.

So he was very restless when he had breakfast. And there is another point, that is, the breakfast taste of Shuangqing is a little too heavy. Whether it is small noodles or oil tea, these things are too unsuitable for breakfast for Zhang Tong, but more like a meal

Because Zhang Tong is more accustomed to eating breakfast relatively lightly. In Huaihai, when Zhang Tong ate the heaviest taste for breakfast, it was just fried buns with scallion oil noodles.

Compared with Shuangqing's heavy and spicy breakfast early in the morning. Huaihai's breakfast was too light.

Because Jiang Hua has not been home for more than a year and almost two years. Therefore, Jiang Aijun and Wang Qian prepared for her all the local characteristics of Chongqing that she loved to eat.

There is a tofu brain that looks relatively light. However, this seemingly light tofu brain is also topped with a thick layer of chili oil, sprinkled with six or seven kinds of side dishes, plus a handful of peanuts, and finally covered with a bowl of rice noodles mixed with tempeh and chili.

"Xiao Zhang, why is Shuangqing's early not to your liking?" Because Jiang Hua told Jiang Aijun last night about the matter between Zhang Tong and Wang Xuewen, Jiang Aijun's attitude towards Zhang Tong is much better today.

He still attaches great importance to whether his daughter's boyfriend is a loving and righteous person. Don't blame Jiang Aijun for being too harsh on Zhang Tong. Because a father's feelings for his daughter are always complicated.

On the one hand, I hope that my daughter will find a good family to marry, but on the other hand, I will feel that no one is worthy of my daughter. This is also a problem that many couples will encounter when they want to get married in the future.

Zhang Tong felt that he should not have much problem with his mother-in-law Wang Qian, but he was really a little unsure of how to pass Jiang Hua's old father Jiang Aijun.

So after hearing Jiang Aijun's question, he immediately said, "It's a bit too heavy." ”

Zhang Tong felt that this matter was still telling the truth. Because I really don't eat much, I'm used to Shuangqing's breakfast. Especially the well-known noodles in China, he tasted too oily, too spicy and too salty. Of course, we must admit that this is another way to taste good, if it is not delicious, how can tens of millions of people here in Shuangqing, Sichuan and Chongqing respect such a taste so much? It's just that they may not be used to eating it.

There is no need to lie about this kind of thing, because it can be seen at a glance. Zhang Tong felt that he was eating authentic Shuangqing noodles and might need to be paired with a bowl of Qianli fragrant wontons. This can be easier to eat, otherwise you will feel too heavy after eating half a bowl.

It's too easy to see this kind of trivial lie, and it's better to be honest.

Jiang Aijun listened to Zhang Tong's words, nodded and said: "That's right, you Huaihai people are said to add sugar to your meals, and Shuangqing's dishes may be too spicy for you." ”

"This Uncle Jiang. First of all, I still have to correct a small point, that is, Huaihai local cooking does not eat sugar, Huaihai cuisine is not sweet, but biased towards soy sauce, fragrant, salty and fresh. Thick oil red sauce is a specialty of Huaihai cuisine. Zhang Tong felt that he had to explain this matter to Jiang Aijun, otherwise, the next time Jiang Aijun said that he would not be able to eat it if he took a plate of super sweet sweet dishes in order to conform to his taste.

Jiang Aijun listened very curiously: "Didn't Huaihai say that the food was very sweet." Isn't the thick oil red sauce talking about Shandong cuisine?"

"Actually, Uncle Jiang, Huaihai's local dish is thick and red, and the taste is strong and tends to be salty, fresh and fragrant. Huaihai was originally a county located under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture. ”

"Before Huaihai was opened as a port, the main work was weaving, silkworm raising and various farm work. After the opening of the port, many Huaihai people still only do simple labor, doing handling at the wharf and the like. Therefore, the taste of Huaihai local cuisine is very salty. ”

"Because at that time, eating sweet was a very luxurious thing, and sugar was very expensive. And Huaihai is not a sugar-producing area, so the dishes eaten by Huaihai people do not have any sweetness. ”

Zhang Tong's words aroused Jiang Aijun's interest, because Jiang Aijun himself is also a foodie, if he was not interested in eating, his hot pot restaurant would not be able to open so big.

Jiang Aijun asked curiously: "Then why do many of my friends go to Huaihai, and they all say that Huaihai people eat very sweet, and even fried vegetables have to add three spoons of sugar." Just listening to it, I felt like I was going to have diabetes. ”

What else can Zhang Tong say about this? I can only say that the hell and the black in the world are a burden......

"Uncle Jiang, in fact, the real sweets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are Suzhou cuisine and Wuxi cuisine. Suzhou cuisine is sweet, and Wuxi cuisine is even sweeter. ”

"Huaihai has been open to the port for more than 100 years, and many people from Wuxi and Suzhou have migrated to live in Huaihai. They also brought their own tastes in. ”

"Although Wuxi and Suzhou have not produced sugar since ancient times, because of their prosperous economy, the locals like to eat sugar. They treated sugar, which was a luxury at the time, as an ordinary seasoning. ”

"Because of the economic prosperity, many people from Wuxi and Suzhou come to work and live in Huaihai and their social status is higher than that of many Huaihai locals. ”

"Because of their high social status, their tastes have also become popular and fashionable. Even today, there are many shops in Huaihai that sell Wuxi-style dishes. It's called duck sauce pork ribs, but it tastes very, very sweet, a typical Wuxi practice. ”

"Because Huaihai is an immigrant city, Huaihai has absorbed different cuisines from various aspects of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Therefore, this cuisine is a collection of Subang cuisine, Hangzhou cuisine, and Xibang cuisine. However, in terms of taste, it is still dominated by thick oil red sauce. ”

"For example, Huaihai people like braised dishes and drunk with wine lees. Even if it is a white chopped chicken, there is a difference between Huaihai white chopped chicken and Cantonese white chopped chicken. Although the chicken is the same, the dipping sauce is very different. ”

Jiang Aijun listened to Zhang Tong say so much, and he couldn't help but nodded. I thought to myself: This kid has a little idea about discussing eating. It's also a chef's business, and if you do it with your heart, you can do it in the future. I just don't know if he can meet Huahua's kind of requirements and be the man behind a successful woman.

Jiang Aijun is very conflicted, he hopes that the other half Jiang Hua will find in the future can listen to Jiang Hua's words, but he doesn't want Jiang Hua's other half to be a waste of wine bags and rice bags, and he still has to have a little ability.

Zhang Tong: It's okay. Wang Qian said that after the New Year next year, she wants to go to Huaihai to open a branch and recruit Zhang Tong in. This is also a way, after all, this industry is still surnamed Jiang.

Jiang Aijun thought a lot. So in addition to Jiang Hua's mother and daughter, Jiang Aijun and Zhang Tong actually didn't eat anything at this breakfast.

After eating breakfast and resting for a while, Jiang Aijun seemed to suddenly say to Zhang Tong: "Xiao Zhang, I heard that you are very good at cooking, today I have a reluctant feeling, I want to ask you to show your hand, I don't know if it will work?"

Is there any possibility for Zhang Tong to refuse this kind of request? Just as he was about to nod his head and agree, the doorbell of Jiang Aijun's house rang.
