"This dish is called husband and wife lung slices. Chen Mo is peaceful on the surface, but he is shouting in his heart, 5,000 yuan of expensive dishes!

"Husband and wife... Lung slices?" Yan Fengli muttered and repeated, thinking to himself what kind of strange dish name this was.

I took a closer look at the dishes in front of me, the color was bright, the red oil was colorful, I thought it was a cold dish of spicy beef, who wanted to eat it in one bite, it was not the taste of beef at all, but the taste was smooth and chewy, and the heavy red oil feeling, with full sesame grains and the umami of the meat that I couldn't tell what kind of meat were mixed together, so that the taste buds could not calm down for a long time.

Yan Fengli took another bite and put it in his mouth, the taste was different, and after a closer look, this plate of red oil cold dishes actually contained a variety of ingredients.

"Boss Chen, your dish is quite peculiar, why is it called husband and wife lung tablets. ”

The taste and name of this dish successfully aroused Yan Fengli's curiosity.

I'm not afraid that you are cold, but I'm afraid that you don't have curiosity, since the curiosity of the other party has been aroused, then Chen Mo's task has been half completed.

This also shows that the fire in the other party's heart has not been completely extinguished.

He hasn't really given up on himself yet.

Chen Mo smiled, sat down opposite the Peking Opera master, and said solemnly: "The name of my dish actually comes from the story of a couple in the Qing Dynasty. ”

As soon as he heard that the origin of the name of this dish was the same as the Qing Dynasty in the era of the development of Peking Opera, Yan Fengli was very interested and hurriedly replied: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Hearing Chen Mo talk about the background culture of the new dish, the diners present pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Chen Mo's speech.

"It was the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were many hawkers in the streets and alleys of Chengdu, Sichuan, who carried the burden and carried the basket to sell cold salad waste pieces, with low-cost beef offal scraps, after processing, boiling, forming, cut into slices, accompanied by red oil, soy sauce, chili, pepper, sesame oil, coriander and other side dishes stirred and mixed, the flavor is unique, the price is cheap, especially loved by the poor people at that time. Later, there was a couple of stalls in Chengdu, the male is called Guo Chaohua, the female is called Zhang Tianzheng, the cold salad waste pieces are spicy and fragrant, the flavor is unique, the male is made, the female is sold, the business is booming, and the customers gather for a while, and the supply exceeds demand. ”

"Originally, it was called cold lung slices. A diner who was listening sighed.

"At that time, lung tablets were not called lung tablets, but waste tablets, the 'waste' of waste. Chen Mo specifically explained.

"Ah, it's this 'waste'. ”

"Yes. Chen Mo nodded and explained, "Because the raw materials used at that time were all cow offal, and most of these raw materials were discarded by the Hui people who did not eat animal offal, so they were called 'waste pieces'." ”

"I see. The diners nodded.

Chen Mo continued: "Later, the couple continued to research and update their own 'cold waste slices', and the ingredients began to change, including tripe, beef tongue, beef scalp and other ingredients, and in some places also added beef shutters, beef and other ingredients, and then with many people carefully developed and developed seasonings, red oil, pepper, sesame, sesame oil, chicken essence, soy sauce, celery, coriander, etc. Husband and wife waste film'. ”

"After becoming famous, the couple set up a private company to specialize in operating their own 'husband and wife waste films', and later, Chengdu Catering Group spent a lot of money to buy the company, because they felt that the name 'waste films' was not very good, so they changed the name to 'husband and wife lung tablets'. It was only at this time that the 'waste film' became the 'lung piece'. That's where my 'husband and wife lung tablets' come from. ”

Chen Mo's words fell, and the hall immediately burst into warm applause.

The impression left by a dish sometimes depends not only on the taste of the dish itself, but also on the story behind the dish, and even about Chinese food culture, which is a topic that diners are keen on and the focus of discussion, which can greatly increase the value of the dish, and may even affect the taste of diners.

After learning about the food background and culture, tasting a dish is completely different from eating a dish.

After listening to Chen Mo's words, Yan Fengli couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and peel off the red oil, coriander and other ingredients on the surface of the couple's lung slices, and those main ingredients revealed their true faces one after another.

White and tender tripe, pale red as birch, transparent and yellowish beef scalp, fresh and smooth beef shutters, thick and full beef leg meat...

Chen Mo didn't seem to finish speaking, and continued to speak: "Although it is called 'waste chips', it seems to be a completely worthless ingredient, but it bursts out with amazing energy and has become a famous dish. As far as I know, in May 2017, GQ magazine in the United States topped the list of 'Couple's Lung Slices', which is a food magazine with global influence. Even the always arrogant Americans translated the English name of the dish as 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'. ”

It tells us that under any circumstances, don't give up easily, deny your own value, if you still have a flame in your heart, keep it, guard, let this fire burn in the depths of your heart, continue to add firewood to the fire, one day, this flame will burn wildly, illuminate the heart, illuminate the new way of life. ”

After speaking, Chen Mo looked at Yan Fengli, who lowered his head, and said, "Teacher Yan, what do you say?"

Yan Fengli's body trembled when he heard this, and when he raised his head again, Yan Fengli's cold face gradually dissolved, and the coldness in his eyes gradually returned to heat.

Picking up the chopsticks, Yan Fengli sent the husband and wife lung slices in front of him into his mouth again and again, the spicy and refreshing taste made Yan Fengli's heart gradually hot, and even his whole body was full of energy, as if it was about to burn.

Throwing away the chopsticks, Yan Fengli actually took the couple's lung tablets on the CD!

Standing up, Yan Fengli's state was completely different from before, refreshed and radiant, as if he had changed people.

"Boss Chen, check out!"

Walking out of the door, Yan Fengli turned his back to everyone and laughed three times.

"The willows and flowers are bright and laughing~Good fruit and heart flowers can be proud~~"

A master is a master, and these two sentences are really extraordinary.

Even a layman like Chen Mo feels that these two sentences are so fascinating.

After singing these two sentences, Yan Fengli laughed and left, walking far away, he could still hear Yan Fengli's laughter, which seemed full of energy.

"Boss Chen, you're really good. The bright-eyed diner gave Chen Mo a thumbs up.

Just by relying on a dish and the story behind it, it was not easy to untie Yan Fengli's heart knot, let Yan Fengli regain his strength, and restore his former enthusiasm and ambition!

Who says good food is just for eating?

However, although Chen Mo did good things, troubles followed.

The diners who had heard the story asked Chen Mo for the dish of husband and wife's lung slices, but this dish had not yet been included in the menu on the wall.
