After a few dishes, SC Johnson feasted on it, and it was indeed a food paradise, and it lived up to its name.

Cai Lan looked back at the boss busy by the fire, and recalled: "The food stalls are the collective memories of Hong Kong Island people, especially the cauldron fire that produces aroma and swells the heat of the plastic sheds carefully hidden among the rows of high-rise buildings. To this day, kerosene, the most original fuel of the only remaining 20 or so food stalls, is what we call fire water. ”

"Wok" refers to large pots and pans. Wok gas is more subtle, not only to use a large pot for cooking, but also to be willing to put down the oil, stir-fry quickly over a fierce fire, and quickly throw the food in the pot. Under the action of hot oil, the food will burst out with a more intense aroma. ”

"For example, this plate of fried beef with cold melon, because the fire is strong enough, the beef does not need to be fried in oil first like at home, and it can be directly put into the pot. Stir-fry slightly, add the cold melon, and it can be out of the pot in three minutes. The beef is tender and the cold melon is crispy, which is definitely a classic dish in the food stalls. ”

"I have a bad habit of asking the boss if he has any children when he finds something delicious. Especially this kind of food stall, it's luck to keep it for a day, so let's do it and cherish it!"

SC Johnson agrees that wet markets and food stalls are places full of fireworks. The crowding and enthusiasm here must be more traces of the hard life of the little people, full of joys, sorrows, and even joys and sorrows......

Thinking of Cai Lan's famous dishes broadcast on TV back then, it has been more than ten years since today, when he was sixty-seven years old, with gray hair and beard, and the whole person was still tall, carrying the iconic monk bag, and taking three beautiful female partners around to eat and drink.

Occasionally, Ni Kuang or midweek is invited, and several old gentlemen tease each other, laugh and scold, talk about the past and the present, and be a smiling flower monk.

Last year's thirteenth invitation program, the literati Xu Zhiyuan also interviewed him, Johnson doesn't like the other party's style very much, always wants to dig out a little bit of sentimentality behind the hedonism, the conversation is almost exhausted, and the arguments are like moaning without disease.

Cai Lan kept saying to Xu Zhiyuan that this is delicious, and that is delicious, but he found that he couldn't continue, so he had to laugh: Don't think too much, man, you think too much all day long!

At that time, across the screen, Johnson wanted to scold his mother, but unfortunately those delicacies, the pearl was secretly cast, and he was not able to appreciate it, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to eat and drink with idols face-to-face, and talk about the world today......

After chatting after a meal, I found that the old man's cynicism in his early years has not been worn out at all. Still an avid lover of lard, I feel a little bit of lard when I eat anything.

I like all greasy and flavorful food, I can eat whatever I want, not because of physical moderation, and I also have a beautiful name: I have to be happy, and I will get sick if I am not happy.

"I like to say one sentence the most: women are not sassy, sheep are not fat, and they are all tasteless!"

With two bottles of red wine in his stomach, Cai Lan touched his belly and said with satisfaction: "Color, women are as cherished as food, in my eyes, the beauties who love to eat are the cutest!"

"No matter what sound you make, you feel cute, especially the small mouth is the most beautiful, even if you open your mouth and gobble it up, it's sexy to death. ”

"If you really want to meet those ugly people and monsters, you can't forgive them, I really want to kick them out of the door of the restaurant. ”

Johnson laughed, the reason why he admired Cai Lan was that he had a kind of freedom and ease, he was the same on the outside and on the inside, and he never taboo his inner desires.

"Women look best when they are drunk, with pink cheeks and a smile, and occasionally tilt their heads back and pull back the long hair that covers their faces, which is simply ......"

After checking out and leaving, Johnson helped the old man to get into the car, and drank a lot, Cai Lan was in a good mood, and it was rare to meet a friend who forgot the year, so he asked Xia Hu to drive to Lu Yu's teahouse to drink tea and sober up.

SC Johnson is also a long-time admirer of this tea room, a legendary 85-year-old tea room that has long since become a symbol of culture.

Not only Cai Lan said that it is the most famous teahouse, but there is no other one in the world. Even the Michelin Guide can only be described as the only thing that remains.

Since the thirties of the last century, the places to drink tea on Hong Kong Island are divided into tea rooms, tea houses, and tea houses, among which the style of tea rooms is the highest.

Lu Yu is the tea saint of the Tang Dynasty, the author of the world's first tea professional masterpiece Tea Sutra, the ancestor of tea connoisseurs in the past dynasties, so the tea room will be beautiful tea as a solicitation, named Lu Yu.

When he came to the destination and got out of the car, Cai Lan pointed to the door and said with a smile: "In the past, there were Indians guarding the door here, and celebrities gathered, but now it is much more low-key." ”

Entering the door, go straight to the private room on the first floor, entertain guests on the second and third floors, and the first floor is specially prepared for regular customers.

The old man was full of red face, pointed to all kinds of old photos on the wall, and said with a smile: "Do you know how arrogant this shop used to be? When the Queen of England visited Hong Kong in 1975, she wanted to go to the old site of Lu Yu's Tea Room and taste authentic Cantonese tea, but the boss turned away the old British lady because the seats were already fully booked!"

"When there are a lot of people, the first floor would rather be empty than let the guests sit, do you say it's awesome?"

SC Johnson looks around and is in the style of the Yangcheng Lingnan Tea Room, with furniture made of sour rosewood, with Chinese style as the main body and infiltrating elements of Western interior design.

Half of the antique colored porcelain wall vase, inserted with beautiful seasonal flowers, white glass sconces, Italian colored glass paintings inlaid with Chinese teak relief frames, antique ceiling fans hanging from the ceiling, and white gauze tied behind the door and on the handrails of the doorposts......

Everywhere is antique, hanging a lot of calligraphy, painting and ink treasures, even including Zhang Daqian, Huang Yongyu, Ren Bonian's fan sketches.

Cai Lan said with a smile: "Most of these ink treasures were left by literati and ink writers who often came to taste tea back then, had a good relationship with the boss, and left them generously, including the masters' complex for Lu Yu's tea room. ”

"In 1996, there was a thief who came to the tea room to steal 18 famous paintings, and his whereabouts are still unknown, which has become another unsolved mystery of the tea room. There's even a toilet, haven't you just been to Fook Lam Men, which is known as a regal restaurant?"

Cai Lan quipped: "If you want me to say that this is the real rich place, because of the rise in the rent of the old site, the landlord made it difficult for the boss, Huo Yingdong and other regular customers simply spent a lot of money and directly bought the entire building and named it Lu Yu Building." The tea room was operated safely, and many governors often held wine and banquets here before the return. ”

Johnson is speechless, he can own an entire building in Central, where every inch of land is valuable, Lu Yu is really awesome!

"On an ordinary day in 2002, the invisible rich man Lin Hanlie came here to drink tea as usual, and had tea with friends at the fixed table 18 every day, but was unfortunately shot and killed by a professional gunman at close range. This technique is exactly the same as in the movie......"

At that time, the public was in an uproar, which made the tea room have a bit of an urban legend-like atmosphere. There are still many rich people who are used to sighing for a cup of tea and eating two cups of dim sum before making a big deal. ”

Just when a waiter entered the door, wearing a white shirt and black pants, an old man carrying a kettle to add tea to the guests, laughing and chatting a few words, Cai Lan said: "The old guys here have their own personalities and speed of doing things, and they can't be urged!"

"Don't look at them, everyone seems to be old, their movements are leisurely, their memory is very good, and they know what tea to drink when they come, where they like to sit, and sometimes they don't need to order snacks. ”

"I read the financial news every day, talk to the rich tea drinkers, and get more tips every month than the salary of ordinary office workers. ”
