Hutongs and alleys have always been a unique part of the capital, and even decades later, when high-rise buildings bloom everywhere, this distinctive feature cannot be completely outlawed.

It not only represents a culture of the old capital, but also represents the humanity of the older generation.

Li Yadong thinks that he has a bit of eyesight, and he can still tell which people are sycophants and which ones are sincere. The capital is a foreign land to him, and it is not easy to gain a warmth here.

So he decided to maintain this relationship, and a sumptuous dinner should be a gift from his foreigner.

The next day, he went back to Yanyuan for two classes, went to the tailor's shop in the middle of the afternoon to collect the accounts, and then came to the only vegetable market in Wudaokou.

Fortunately, this wayward vegetable farm did not miss the appointment today, and it really opened the door.

Although the vegetable market in this year is far less complex than the variety in the future, there are also fewer black-hearted merchants who peddle "water-injected meat" and "pesticide vegetables", most of the meat products are freshly killed and slaughtered, and vegetables and fruits are picked from the ground on the same day, which makes people eat very reassuringly.

Good quality ingredients are untapped treasures for a chef, so Li Yadong smiled happily and shuttled through the vegetable market to his heart's content, like a fish in water.

There were four families in the courtyard, and there were nine people including him, enough for a feast, so he prepared twelve dishes.

is still dragged back to the courtyard with Wu Cripple's three wheels, anyway, he has no other business recently, and the three wheels have been requisitioned by Li Yadong in the past two days.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, he began to prepare, and Aunt Gu next door saw that she was going to help, and she was "bombarded" away by him.

Li Yadong's culinary skills have been inherited from many masters, and there was originally no fixed style, and some well-known dishes of China's eight major cuisines will be burned, but later it gradually became more inclined to Sichuan cuisine. The main thing is that the Sichuan people will conquer the world with spicy in the future, and he can only be forced to transform this restaurant.

Five of the twelve dishes he prepared today were Sichuan dishes. Of course, Lao Jingcheng doesn't like spicy food, or he can't eat spicy food, which he still knows, so he will make some improvements, which is not difficult for an experienced chef.

The two coal stoves in the kitchen were all used, and at dusk, the dishes were ready, and when they were just about to be served, Li Yadong went door to door to call people.

Everyone else is there, but the youngest son of the Jiang family is missing, and Uncle Jiang said, "Don't worry about that stinky boy, let him die outside", which made Li Yadong understand that the guy he had never met and was named Jiang Tengfei was afraid that he was not a good bird.

Eight people in the courtyard gathered at the same table, some old and some young, and they were happy.

"Huh...... Aunt Liu, Aunt Jiang, and Aunt Gu, you are all sitting, I can come over alone, and I have all done it, and it is very convenient. ”

After "pressing" them to sit down at the square table, Li Yadong began to serve the food.

First of all, there are four cold dishes: cold salad with three shreds, cucumber, white meat with garlic, and beef in sauce.

"Xiaodong, are you making these dishes?"

As soon as the four dishes were put on the table, all seven people present were dumbfounded.

Not only are these dishes bright in color, but they are also appetizing when you look at them, and the key is the presentation. For example, the white meat with garlic sauce is made into a roll of pork with shredded vegetables, which is then stacked on a plate in an orderly manner and topped with a spoonful of fiery sauce.

Where is this dish that ordinary people can make?

"I'll not hide it from you, I have learned a little cooking, but I haven't done it for a long time, and there are some hands-on food, so everyone will eat it. ”

"That's it, it's still called going to eat?" Uncle Liu's eyes widened, when his third daughter got married, he was fortunate to go to the most famous Southeast Hotel nearby, and those dishes were like this at most.

"Hehe......" Li Yadong smiled and took out a bottle of Gujing Gong from the small wooden cabinet next to him, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Jiang, I don't know if it fits or not, you two can make do with a few cups." ”

"This is good wine!" Uncle Jiang couldn't sit still when he saw his buttocks, and dared to love a rich man in their courtyard, this kind of brand-name wine that cost several yuan was brought up without blinking his eyes.

After all, Uncle Liu was old, and after glancing at Li Yadong in surprise, he took the wine bottle, "Yes, they are all people from the courtyard, then I'm not welcome, I haven't tasted this kind of good wine for a few days." ”

"Old man, drink less, now it's no better than when I was younger, and I can't find the North ...... every day," Aunt Liu complained on the side.

"Got it, got it. Uncle Liu waved his hand in annoyance.

"Okay, you eat first, and I'll serve the food. Li Yadong smiled knowingly, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

"Xiaodong, get less, just look at these dishes. Aunt Jiang shouted in the hall.

"I know Aunt Jiang, there are not a few dishes, and they are all burned. ”

Then came six hot dishes: shredded fish-flavored pork, mapo tofu, eggplant drizzled in oil, sauerkraut fish, back to the pot meat, plus a nine-turn large intestine.

Li Yadong put them on the table one by one, and without looking at the dumbfounded eyes of several people at the table, he returned to the kitchen and continued to serve the dishes.

"This is the crafts of a great chef!" Uncle Liu didn't even lift his chopsticks, and just looked at them and came to a conclusion.

"Isn't it? Just this craft, those cooks in the state-run hotel, I'm afraid that they won't be able to catch up, you smell it. Uncle Jiang swallowed his saliva and said.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smelled the aroma in her nose, and the chopsticks in her hand unconsciously stretched out to the nearest sauce beef, and was slapped back by her mother, "This kid, is there any etiquette, what is the monkey anxious?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and withdrew her hand stupidly. Jiang Wan, who was sitting next to her, also endured enough, such a big table of deliciousness, she had never eaten it in her life, and she almost didn't die of hunger, fortunately, she was old enough, otherwise maybe Jiang Xiaoxiao would not be able to calm down.

"Okay, the last two dishes, a four-happiness meatball soup and a winter melon pork rib soup. ”

After Li Yadong brought up the two soup dishes, he also sat down, and saw that everyone did not lift the chopsticks, Uncle Liu and Uncle Jiang also took a little wine, and knew that everyone was waiting for him, so he raised the chopsticks and put a piece of cucumber into the bowl, and then said: "Okay everyone, I really don't know too much etiquette, don't see outside, just take the chopsticks as if they were in your own home." ”

"Okay, eat and eat ......"

The seven of them feasted happily, and praised Li Yadong's high craftsmanship, in Uncle Liu's words, "I want to dump the little nanny of the old man's house for ten miles."

This old man is the number one person in the straw hat alley, his identity is a little special, very erudite, and he is deeply respected by everyone.

The courtyard was very lively, just like the New Year, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Li Yadong was also poured a few glasses of wine, and when the meal was nearing the end, a young man with a tiger head and a tiger brain suddenly came in in the dark night outside the door, looking at the scene in the house with a confused face.

"Uncle Ma's family came back to live?"

"Stinky boy, you haven't been home all day, where have you been wandering around for another day?" Uncle Jiang was angry when he saw him, and scolded with red cheeks.

Li Yadong's heart brightened, eighty percent of the Jiang family's son Jiang Tengfei was undoubtedly there.

"This is Tengfei, hurry up and eat. As he spoke, Li Yadong took out a chair from the bedroom and inserted it into the already crowded square table.

"You ......"

"This is the new Dongge, but he is a Peking University student, so he shouldn't call someone quickly. Aunt Jiang glared at her son angrily, she was really more popular than others.

Other people's children are one year older than their own son, why do you say that he is so capable, not only can he be admitted to Peking University, but he will also have good cooking skills, where can he not have a good future in the future, but his poor son can't even find a job.

"Ah, Dong...... Elder brother. Jiang Tengfei was probably not used to such a name, but under the pressure of his parents, he could only reluctantly scream.

"I'll ...... This dish...... Why is it so delicious!"

In fact, there are basically discs on the table, and this guy is holding a bowl of rice, and he eats a little soup from the large intestine with relish.

Li Yadong felt a little inappropriate, and despite the resistance of the Jiang family, there happened to be some small green vegetables left in the kitchen, so he fried a small green vegetable with garlic paste for him alone. This really moved Jiang Tengfei, and then called "Brother Dong", and there was no pressure at all.
