In the evening, Kong Yan took Mu Fei away, and Su Zifang and Xue Yi were left in the store.

Su Zifang remembered Sun Yaoqing's request, and took advantage of Xue Yi's foot soaking to ask about the Eight Treasure Duck.

Xue Yi didn't rush to refuse after listening to Su Zifang's request, but frowned and thought about something.

"You mean that the man's surname is Sun?"

Su Zifang thought for a while and nodded: "The doctor's surname is Sun, and he said that it is his father, so it should also be surnamed Sun, right?"

"What does that guy look like?"

Su Zifang heard that Xue Yi was interested, and immediately flipped out of the hospital's registration applet and began to look for Sun Yaoqing's information, and finally turned it out for a long time and handed the photo to Xue Yi.

"It's him!"

Su Zifang: ???

"Who is it?"

didn't let him wait too long, Xue Yi said the answer after talking to himself.

"Sun Mingzu. ”

Su Zifang heard this equally glorious name, and sighed with emotion that the father and son did not run away, Ming Zu Yaoqing, shining brightly!

Immediately afterwards, I heard Xue Yi start to tell the story of Sun Mingzu.

At that time, Xue Yi was still the head chef of the building, although he didn't cook very often, but when he encountered some special reasons that could not be shirked, he would still show his cooking skills on the fixed chef day every week.

Sun Mingzu met Xue Yi at that time.

At the beginning, it was a dinner at a medical guild, because there was a respected old-timer in the meeting, and Xue Yi had also received several sets of prescriptions, and he took the responsibility for the arrangement of that table.

There's an eight-treasure duck on it.

That meal is said to be eaten by both the guests and the host, and Xue Yi was satisfied when he stepped forward to ask about the dining experience.

But there was a pair of eyes in the crowd that kept staring at Xue Yi.

Since then, every chef's day in the outer building, someone will inevitably order a bowl of eight-treasure duck, which has never been interrupted for more than ten consecutive years.

At first, Xue Yi didn't take it seriously, after all, there were too many dishes that he became famous, and it was understandable for someone to order one by mistake, Babao duck as a Huaiyang dish is also famous, and the cost is much lower than three sets of ducks, which may be a greedy and not very wealthy person.

It wasn't until I overheard a conversation with the waiters that I heard them say that there was a very strange guest who came to order Babao duck once a week, and didn't want any soup or rice for the rest, just after eating the duck and leaving, I realized that all the ducks were ordered by one person.

So Xue Yi was very attentive, and personally served it when Sun Mingzu ordered the Eight Treasure Duck the next time, intending to ask what situation would allow a person to order a self-made Eight Treasure Duck every week for several years without interruption.

"What's the reason for that?"

Su Zifang did the work of praising in a timely manner.

Xue Yi was obviously also very satisfied, nodded with satisfaction and continued.

He said that it was simply because it tasted delicious, like the taste of the old restaurant in Shanghai City God's Temple that he had eaten when he was a child, and every time he ate it, he remembered his grandmother, so he was reluctant. ”

After finishing speaking, Xue Yi himself sighed: "The old hotel of the City God Temple, it's been a long time......"

Well?

Su Zifang keenly grasped the meaning of Xue Yi's words.

1. Sun Mingzu knows the eight treasure ducks of the old hotel of the City God Temple.

2, Xue Yi also knows the eight treasure ducks in the old hotel of the City God Temple.

3. The eight-treasure duck made by Xue Yi is the same as the eight-treasure duck made by the old hotel of Chenghuangmiao.

couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked quietly, "Is there anything special about the old hotel of the City God's Temple?"

At the same time, I quickly recalled the information of the old hotel of the City God Temple in my mind.

Founded in the first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, formerly known as "Rongshun Pavilion", as the birthplace of Shanghai's local cuisine, it is managed by a national master and is known for its fine selection of materials and mellow flavor. Famous dishes include fried river prawns, shrimp roe and black cucumber, eight-treasure duck, osmanthus pull cake, stir-fried crab roe and so on.

The appearance is the cornices and corners to imitate the Ming and Qing Dynasty styles, close to the Bund, Jingling Road Pedestrian Street, known as the number one restaurant in Shanghai.

Xue Yi glanced at Su Zifang: "Do you know who the chef was before the Old Hotel of the City God Temple?"

"I don't know. ”

Xue Yi showed such an expression, and said softly: "Yao Dewei." ”

"What?"

Su Zi was really surprised to put it down!

Yao Dewei: Isn't he the head chef of Louwailou? When did you become the chef of the old restaurant of the City God's Temple?

The world has changed so much that he is a little confused.

Fortunately, Xue Yi also knew this kind of thing in the previous generation, and Su Zifang was unlikely to know, so he explained it directly.

It turned out that Yao Dewei worked in the outer building for more than ten years, because his family asked him to return to Shanghai to live, and married the daughter of the owner of the old hotel of the City God Temple.

Among them, the Eight Treasure Duck is an innovative local dish made by him after fusing three sets of ducks and pigeon swallows, which can be described as unparalleled in Shanghai at that time.

Later, the chef only got six or seven percent of him, and he was able to make the signboard of the old hotel of the City God's Temple stand firmly in the ten-mile foreign field of Shanghai, which is full of food, which is enough to see this strength.

"But it's only six or seventy!" Xue Yi sighed a little.

Su Zi paused for a few sentences, sighed at Yao Dewei's amazing cooking skills, suddenly reacted, and asked Xue Yi.

"Master, that's not right!"

"Does this have anything to do with Sun Mingzu's liking to eat the Eight Treasure Duck you made?"

Xue Yi slapped the table, hated iron and said, "Master Yao's Eight Treasure Duck has also been passed on to Louwailou!"

Su Zifang suddenly realized in an instant.

Yao Dewei, as the creator of the new Babao Duck, naturally made ten percent of the taste, and the chef of the old restaurant of the City God's Temple only learned six or seven points, but Louwailou learned eight or nine points because the chef was more powerful.

Compared with the two, it is naturally the one outside the building that is more delicious, no wonder Sun Mingzu is willing to go to the outside of the building to eat duck.

If he encounters something delicious and not good, he is willing to go once a week.

"In the past, the old hotel of the City God's Temple, when I said it, it was a jar that was even more powerful than the outer building, but now, ...... Forget it, don't talk about it. ”

Su Zifang: ......

It's really not good for my master to talk halfway like this!

How can there be such a deliberate hanging of people.

You must know that Xue Yi usually interacts with the bigwigs in the chef world, and occasionally disappears in the back kitchen, I heard that there are other chef giants who come to visit, and Su Zifang has been there a few times.

I remember what they chatted with!

The main reason is that this level of chef communication rarely involves specific dishes, but most of them are all kinds of melons in the chef circle.

I don't know if it's true or not, but it sounds cool.

What happened in the first restaurant in Min Province where the heir and the illegitimate child competed for the family property, the location of the newly selected store of the century-old dim sum shop in Shanghai was not good, the blood loss was one million in the first three months of opening, the formula of a well-known restaurant in Shaanxi Province was leaked, and the gourd chicken practice was stolen......

Each melon is fidelity and ripe, which sounds particularly enjoyable.

And when the old man chats, he always talks about a couple of sentences and suddenly changes the topic, just like changing the TV channel.

You can eat melons with different flavors.

Life, Ethics, Espionage, Business War......

Before, it was all rudely stuffed to Su Zi, but now it is said that it is a little exposed.

The melon is the same melon, but he feels that the taste is much worse, and it is unpleasant!
