Chapter 202: Ancient and Modern

Zhao Baoxuan had never looked forward to Zhang Wuwei appearing immediately.

In the past, when she encountered this kind of situation where she didn't know what to say, her first reaction was to hide, since Zhang Wuwei taught her how to speak decently, she was used to asking him for help as soon as she encountered a problem.

Of course, she had seen the buildings in the photo, but she couldn't say it now, as soon as she said it, it revealed her whereabouts of going to Jincun again.

But if you don't say it, I feel very sorry for Mrs. Mu - people are so good to her and like her so much, come to find her roots, sooner or later they will find it, and when they find out that she has something to hide, I'm afraid the relationship will be stiff.

In a hurry, Zhao Baoxuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then asked in a relaxed tone: "Is this in Japan? Or have you been to China to search for your ancestors before?"

Mrs. Mu replied: "This is the Yaju on the island of Kyushu in Japan, after Ms. Yamaki's ancestors crossed the sea to Japan, they worked hard, saved all their hard-earned money, and built a shelter according to the house in their hometown, and the Yamaki family has a history of hundreds of years. ”

Zhao Baoxuan exclaimed: "There are often earthquakes over there, and the house can still be preserved so well, it's amazing." ”

I heard that most of the houses on the island side are made of light wood to prevent disasters caused by earthquakes, and it is a miracle that these brick and wood houses can be kept safe and sound.

Because the ancient castle with a history of hundreds of years in Europe, even if the materials used are heavy mountain stone, granite, granite, marble, etc., it still cannot escape the serious problem of aging and weathering.

Miju, which has been able to escape countless natural disasters, is indeed a miracle of the people's houses in the volcanic belt.

Mrs. Mu replied, her tone full of pride: "The Yamaki family has been building for generations, and they have a lot of experience in choosing the foundation for building a house, and the courtyards and villas they designed are beautiful, safe and practical, and they have won numerous design awards in Japan. ”

Zhao Baoxuan's reaction was very fast, and when she said the word architecture, she immediately thought of the craftsmanship that Zhang Wuwei's ancestors relied on for a living on the American continent.

No, no, no, Zhang Wuwei's ancestors were laborers, and it seems that his name was Zhang Chuan? There was another person who came out of Jincun, and she remembered that he was named Mu Degui, and he had relatives in Jincun, but she didn't know if there were any descendants of the side branch today.

If only her boss was here, any topic could be blended in, she just smiled and watched, ate and drank.

There is a saying that the more you try to hide it, the more people will find out.

Old Mrs. Shanmu had been staring at Zhao Baoxuan seriously, and when she saw that she was in a daze, she reminded Mrs. Mu with an accent similar to Jincun dialect: "Her eyes are thoughtful, can you ask her where she has seen this picture?"

Zhao Baoxuan was thinking about things and didn't get distracted, this strange accent immediately attracted her attention, and then she suddenly found that Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Miki had been communicating in Jincun dialect.

Did they speak like that before?

So when she was in the hall, did Mrs. Yamaki teach her ikebana in English or Jincun?

Why can't she remember anything now?

No, no, Zhao Baoxuan frowned slightly, even if her parents couldn't understand this accent, they could tell that it was from Jincun.

She turned her gaze to Mrs. Mu, and the two of them were staring at each other.

Mrs. Mu smiled: "Baoxuan, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhao Baoxuan blurted out: "Your accent is very similar to a place here in Yucheng." ”

As soon as the words came out, she wanted to bite her tongue off.

Thinking about how to say it again if you don't say it, how can you say it again!

Mrs. Mu's brows jumped slightly: "Really, where is it?"

Zhao Baoxuan stumbled: "When I was on the construction site, I heard the workers speak in the same way as you speak." But I don't hear much about it, and I don't know if it's the same, but I think it's very similar. ”

Mr. Mu nodded: "The construction site you are talking about is the construction site of Tang Song Square, right? I heard the proprietress say that you work over there." ”

Zhao Baoxuan finally found a step down: "Yes, if there is no shutdown over there, I can also go and help you find two workers to ask." ”

After saying this, she was greatly relieved in her heart.

I saw that the old lady Shanmu and Mrs. Mu were happy, looked at each other, and nodded, as if they had received some important information.

"Great, Baoxuan, thank you!" Mrs. Mu was beaming with joy, and she didn't want to hide the joy in her heart at all: "This time, Mrs. Shanmu failed to find the place where her ancestors lived, and I thought there was no hope, but hearing you say this, Mrs. Shanmu is so happy, she asked me to ask you, and I must help find out." ”

Zhao Baoxuan took the task head-on: "Okay, when the construction site starts, I'll go to the construction site to help you inquire." ”

In fact, she thinks that if the old lady Shanmu really wants to find their roots, they should be able to find some information by opening a letter to the local tourism department, or the relevant department that studies folk history and folklore, and looking for local chronicles.

You know, she herself knew where Jincun was, but she couldn't get around it while driving, and she went several times to barely find it.

However, as far as the unpleasant and even thrilling experience she had had twice in Jincun, she decided not to mention the topic related to Jincun again.

Now that I've agreed to help them, they should be able to put their minds at ease.

However, Mrs. Yamaki was not reassured: "What if the two workers don't come when the work starts?"

Her expression was quiet when she asked questions, but there was a faint sadness in her eyes, which made people look like she was hiding her pain under the appearance of a good culture.

Zhao Baoxuan really hoped that she couldn't understand the body language of the old lady Shanmu at all, so a delicate and temperamental old lady, if her ancestors' house was not allowed to enter.

Zhao Baoxuan frowned and thought for a while: "It should come, the construction site was suddenly suspended, and they still haven't received their salaries." ”

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

Not to mention that the salary has to be paid back, it is a bucket and a basin of daily necessities, and they have to take it away - life is not easy!

After listening to Mrs. Mu's relay, the old lady Shanmu was in a much better mood, and thanked her with a smile in Jincun dialect: "Thank you, little girl, you will definitely have no sorrow in the future, and you will be happy." ”

At this time, Wang Cuiyu knocked on the door with the waiter to come in to serve the food, and when she heard the words of the old lady Shanmu, her footsteps were stagnant, and the waiter behind her almost hit the tray.

Wang Cuiyu reacted very quickly, immediately restrained her astonishment, and introduced the private dishes of the Jade Kitchen Restaurant with a smiling face: "Today's sea bass is very fat, and I specially made milk white fish soup, and the wild vegetables were just delivered, and I made a soup of jade leaves." A few slow users!"

He didn't stay to accompany the guests, and after a few more greetings, he withdrew.

Zhao Baoxuan was originally a guest at this time, but as soon as he saw that there was a dish that could divert the topic, he immediately remembered that he was barely half a host, so he stood up instead of the waiter, personally served soup to the guests, and then sat down to introduce the uniqueness of the dish: "The meat of sea bass is very delicate, there are few fish bones, and most chefs like to use ginger and green onions to steam, and some chefs like to improve it to make sauerkraut fish, but the sea bass in the Jade Kitchen Pavilion makes milky white fish soup, and only the nine-story tower is put without ginger and shallots." ”

The old lady Yamaki took a sip of the fish soup and immediately praised it: "As soon as I drank this taste, I thought of my hometown." ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

When Mr. and Mrs. Mu and two other Japanese old men and old ladies heard this, they all quietly served the bowl and tasted it, and they all agreed with this statement: "Yes, it is very kind." ”

Zhao Baoxuan is most afraid of this kind of occasion when the villagers see the villagers with tears in their eyes, when people are happy and lyrical, of course they can't stop them, but they are moved to tears together, and she can't cry.

The wild vegetables with jade leaves in the soup, she knows, are white cauliflower, and the taste is relatively fresh.

She estimated that it was sent by the vegetable farmer who went to grow medicinal herbs from her grandfather, and hurriedly introduced: "This wild vegetable is cauliflower, which will be available in many cities, but the soil here in the fishing city is different. ”

The soup of this dish is clear and green, and the aroma alone makes people smell and feel very comfortable, and she looks at it with a special appetite.

Mrs. Mu smiled: "It's a pity, Nannan didn't eat such a delicious dish." ”

It's this time, Mu Xiongnan still hasn't arrived yet, and it seems that he doesn't plan to come.

Zhao Baoxuan didn't know if this sentence was meant for herself, so she pretended not to understand anything, and comforted: "There will be many opportunities in the future, my father said that he will be in charge of the Jade Kitchen for at least 20 years." ”

Mr. Mu laughed: "That's a pity!"

Zhao Baoxuan asked stupidly, "Why?"

Mr. Mu sighed deliberately: "I also want to open a five-star restaurant and poach Boss Zhao as an executive chef." If you say that, won't my restaurant be able to open?"

Zhao Baoxuan covered her mouth and laughed for a while: "I don't know about this, I have to ask my father." ”

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became cheerful.

At this time, Wang Cuiyu knocked on the door again and came in to let the waiter serve the food: "A stuffed lamb chop, a pipa chicken." ”

After the waiter served the food, Wang Cuiyu's face looked a little pale, and her smile seemed to be a little reluctant: "I didn't greet you well today, wait until I send a dessert to everyone to apologize." ”

Mrs. Mu smiled: "We are very happy that Baoxuan is here, she is greeting us for you, you see that each of us has eaten, and she eats the least." Boss, if you want to be busy, let's go and get busy, let's continue to chat with Bao Xuan. ”

Wang Cuiyu bowed slightly, nodded, and opened the door to go out.

Zhao Baoxuan had no choice but to continue to be the host: "This dish is called Saiwai Lamb Chops, which is based on the practice of roasting mutton on the bonfire on the grassland side, using our special seasoning, and the lamb chops are grilled on the outside and tender on the inside. ”

Not only does it not have a bad smell, but the sweetness of the mutton can still be retained, Zhao Qingshan's craftsmanship really doesn't have to say, after the mutton is roasted, there is no residue left after eating, and he never stuffs his teeth.

"The pipa chicken is roasted with lamb chops, but the seasoning is different, and the time it takes is a little shorter, that is, the time it takes to play a pipa song, and the chicken can be roasted. ”

All levels are reflected in the effort of marinating the chicken.

The seasoning of the Zhao family is also the special seasoning made by Wang Enzheng, the key is that the product is good, Wang Enzheng personally went to the mountain to pick or buy back, and then dried it himself and then prepared it according to the proportion of food.

This alone is the only one of a few fishing towns.

Other people can learn how to do it, but they will never get the seasoning.

For these leaning gourmets, one more is more, and one less is less.

This is one of the main reasons why the director of the Jade Kitchen has flourished.

It stands to reason that these elderly people at the dinner table are not suitable for eating slightly greasy lamb chops, but Zhao Qingshan's practice is excellent, the lamb chops he grilled are fat but not greasy, and even have two points of air-dried refreshing, the pipa chicken is roasted with thin skin and tender meat, and the old man and old ladies are happy to eat.

The old lady Yamaki put down the chicken bone in her hand and sighed, "If only you could bring me a copy of this seasoning." ”

Mrs. Mu smiled: "Didn't you just say that this is someone's unique secret recipe?"

The old lady Yamaki shook her head: "I didn't mean to take it back and learn to cook, put it in a sachet, take it out and smell it every day, it's like returning to your homeland." ”

Mrs. Mu smiled: "Then I'll help you ask." ”

They all knew that Zhao Baoxuan couldn't call the shots about the seasoning, so when Wang Cuiyu brought the waiter to serve the food again, Mrs. Mu boldly asked, "Boss, can you make two sachets of this barbecue seasoning for us to bring back?"

Wang Cuiyu was stunned for a moment: "Make it into a sachet?" She misunderstood, thinking that she was putting the seasoning powder that fell off the roasted lamb chops on the plate in the sachet: "It's greasy, it may be moldy." ”

This is polite, she actually wants to say that such an elegant and temperamental old lady smells of food wherever she goes, how strange.

Mrs. Mu laughed: "No, if we want to say, we will use our fingernails to jump a little bit, put a little bit in each sachet, and wear it with us." The taste of this seasoning is really special, and the whole person is refreshed when I smell it. ”

Wang Cuiyu smiled: "Hey, so that's the case, you see I'm busy, and what I said today is always upside down, hey, please forgive me." Ah, this spice is for cooking, and if you really like it, I can ask my father to make another sachet for you, using the same ingredients. My father is a Chinese medicine practitioner and has a special interest in these flowers and plants. ”

Mrs. Mu nodded again and again: "Great, then can I make a request, can we all have a share in the meeting?"

Wang Cuiyu said: "Thanks to your affordability, two copies per person are fine." ”

She also wants to worship the old lady Shanmu as a teacher, of course, this small request is not too much.
