244. Small shop side dishes
This shop is called a small shop, as the name suggests, the area is indeed quite small, just a hall and two private rooms, but its name is not because of the area, but because of the main dishes.
The main dish of the small shop is the side dish.
For South Korea, a small dish is kimchi, but this is not the case in China, where there are many kinds of small dishes, such as kimchi, pickles, pickles, and pickles.
Zhang Zhiduo handed Chen Song a bottle of chilled Jia Duo Bao and asked, "How do you feel about this temperature?"
Chen Song sniffed and said, "Hiss, I feel quite cold." ”
Zhang Zhiduo said: "Lao Chen, you don't have to be polite with me, if you still feel hot, tell me." Your metabolism is so powerful, no wonder you have remained lean after graduating for so many years. ”
Chen Song wanted to drink hot water, he refused Jia Duobao and said: "Let's take a pot of hot white water, I don't drink ice, I don't drink all year round, just drink warm and white, it's good for the stomach." ”
Zhang Zhiduo looked at him suspiciously, and Chen Song nodded seriously in response: "Buddy pays attention to health preservation." ”
"Pay attention to good health, I look at Lao Chen's posture, it will not be a problem to live to be a hundred years old. Zhang Zhiduo smiled.
Chen Song said: "My goal is to be 120 years old, breaking the age limit of human existence. ”
This is still very serious.
The side dishes are fast, the boss first sent a plate of assorted kimchi, which is soaked with cabbage, radish, pepper, cowpea, bitter gourd, cabbage sum, etc., Zhang Zhiduo said that this is Sichuan kimchi.
He said: "Lao Chen, I invite you to come here to eat, but it's not because this place is cheap, but the dishes here are distinctive, the boss is a relative of one of my old comrades-in-arms, and his family's small dishes are all passed down from ancestors, which is really good." ”
Chen Song smiled: "I understand, in fact, it's really good to eat a cold dish on a hot day, but it's okay to eat hot food." ”
He rubbed his arms as he spoke.
Zhang Zhiduo said with a smile: "You can rest assured, there are cold dishes and hot dishes, and each dish is particular, you take this Sichuan kimchi as an example, the salt he uses to pickle vegetables is not ordinary." ”
"Why is it not ordinary?" Chen Song took a cowpea into his mouth, and chewed it lightly and rattled it.
This made him can't help but praise: "This side dish is so crispy." ”
Cowpeas, also known as carobs, are extremely long and have a low water content, so it is really difficult to maintain such a crisp texture after being made into kimchi.
Zhang Zhiduo said proudly: "Of course it's crispy, Sichuan kimchi is crispy, and the traditional Sichuan kimchi in this store is crispy." The salt used for pickles is not market-only salt, but well salt extracted from underground salt mines in Sichuan, which is rich in minerals and keeps the pickles crisp. ”
Along with this plate of assorted pickles, there are also pickled pepper phoenix feet and pickled cabbage fish, the natural white of the phoenix feet bubbled, the chicken skin on it trembles when touched, mixed with red rice pepper and yellow pickled pepper, which is extremely impressive.
The sauerkraut fish is steaming, the curly fish meat is really piled up, sprinkled with brown and black peppers, and the peppers are mixed with green coriander, which is also full of color and fragrance.
Zhang Zhiduo started and motioned for Chen Song to taste the taste of fish first.
Chen Song couldn't help but nod as soon as he ate it: "It's delicious." ”
The flavor of sauerkraut is completely immersed in the fish, and the fish maintains a crisp texture like Sichuan-style kimchi, and it is sour and spicy when you eat a bite of fish and then scoop a fish pond with a spoon.
On a hot day, the appetite immediately rose.
There are also dried vegetables in the side dishes, the dried vegetables should be fermented, and then thoroughly dried, the finished product has low moisture and high salt content, and the most famous is their plum dried vegetables in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Zhang Zhiduo ordered two dishes, namely plum cabbage button meat and plum vegetable meat dumplings, the small dumplings are like dumplings, not to mention the taste, only to talk about the appearance, this small shop owner has some kung fu.
Five main dishes for two people, and a dozen small cold dishes sprinkled with more than a dozen small dishes.
There are several factions in the small cold dishes, northern shrimp oil kimchi, such as shrimp oil cucumber, shrimp oil radish, and southern sweet and sour pickled vegetables, such as sweet garlic and sweet and sour scallion.
These two side dishes are quite rare in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Chen Song confused them, the scallion is like a clove of garlic, but the texture and taste are completely different, it is similar to onions, you can peel off layer by layer and eat it.
There are also Yangzhou pickles in the southern pickles, which are sweet and crispy, like the dim sum in the south of the Yangtze River, petite and exquisite; in the northern pickles, there are also Beijing pickles, which open and close, pickled cucumbers, peanuts, almonds and so on.
The specialty dish of the small shop is a very common pickle, that is, mustard, and the owner said that their mustard is made of traditional Fuling mustard.
It was also after listening to the boss's introduction that Chen Song knew that Fuling mustard is a Chinese dish that has really hit the country, and it is listed as one of the world's three famous kimchi along with French pickles and German sweet and sour cabbage.
However, in South Korea, the list of the world's three famous kimchi is more diverse, namely Fuling mustard, French pickled cucumber, Korean spicy cabbage, Fuling mustard, German sweet and sour cabbage, Korean spicy cabbage, French pickled cucumber, German sweet and sour cabbage and Korean spicy cabbage......
The boss made mustard egg fried rice with Fuling mustard, and Chen Songpao pulled a big bowl, and he was full of praise for eating 'crunch'.
After eating and drinking, the boss prepared a pot of herbal tea to heat it up.
The heat on Chen Song's body has long gone, and he is now so cold that he almost shrinks his eggs.
After drinking the herbal tea, he hurriedly left, and when he opened the door, there was a rolling heat wave.
Chen Song opened his hand and closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The taste of hometown." ”
"Exhaust?"
He was almost like a popsicle in the private room, and when he came out, his body quickly warmed up, and he was immediately much more comfortable.
But when he walked from the door of the small shop to the front of the car, he sweated again at such a distance, and then he began to miss the cold air conditioner again.
This made him can't help but curse people's inferior roots, why is he so hypocritical?
After getting in the car, the temperature was suitable, Zhang Zhiduo sent him home and said: "You don't have to be polite to me, the online car-hailing in the city these days is illegal, alas, so I have nothing to do." ”
Chen Song was not polite, and after the car was on the road, he asked, "Old squad leader, how much did you run a fast car for a month?"
Zhang Zhiduo said: "From 5,000 to 8,000, the main reason is that I run in our county, which is too small, and many of them are starting lists." It is said that in the first two years, I started with 10,000 yuan a month of casual work, and 20,000 yuan a month of hard work. ”
Chen Song said: "Then don't do it, I'm going to invest in some projects in my hometown, you can help me, I will give you a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, and there will be bonuses every quarter according to the work situation." ”
Zhang Zhiduo stepped on the brakes and looked at him in surprise and said, "Are you kidding?"
Chen Song said: "No kidding, in fact, it's not right to help me, because this project is what a rancher I know in Iceland wants to do, mainly in two aspects, on the one hand, it is to collect traditional Chinese grain and livestock breeds, and on the other hand, he is aiming at the Chinese outdoor sports market, I think you can lead the team." ”
