Chapter 64: Thoroughfare
It's shameful to weave a lie, and it's ridiculous to not even make a lie well.
It's nasty to talk nonsense, and it's naïve to not even talk nonsense.
Successful lies can turn illusions into facts, and unsuccessful lies can sometimes even turn what is reasonable into unreasonable.
No, "Zhang Dascoop" is equivalent to "playing cash" this time, and the result is true, making his old face red.
But that's not all, plus Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan obviously have good intentions and make a special trip to deliver good things.
But he was good, he didn't admit it, but just now he deliberately sprinkled fire on others.
So at this moment, in the face of Hong Yanwu's smiling look and Chen Liquan's curious expression, it was even more difficult for him to deal with himself.
Well, after thinking about it, I felt that I had promised to teach these two boys cooking anyway, and there was no need to deliberately hide my past, so I would be able to understand a little bit of the foundation.
In this way, it is rare for him to open his mouth and tell the past events of the year.
It's just that maybe it's been held back for too long, and people have broken mouths, so they haven't hugged it.
It doesn't seem to tell people, it seems to be for himself, and he actually brushes up half of his life.
And his experience was heard in the ears of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and while satisfying curiosity, he also felt a lot of emotion.
Because although they expected the background of "Zhang Dascoo" to be extraordinary, they didn't expect that this Master Zhang's experience was very similar to their kowtow master Yuye.
It is also made because of art, and injured because of art.
even wandered and died alone.
How can they not be touched by the sorrow of the situation and not return deep sympathy?
Speaking of the similarities between "Zhang Dascoop" and Yuye, it is probably from the birth.
The old man, Zhang Qingxiang, was born in 1918, although he was born a generation later than Yu Ye, but in the same way, their family has also been living for the Qing royal family for generations.
Because since the 30th year of Qianlong, his ancestors were brought into the capital from his hometown in the south because of his superb cooking skills, and became the imperial "Tatan".
Since then, the Zhang family has been holding the golden rice bowl rewarded by the emperor, and has never returned to their hometown, becoming an authentic Beijing person.
It's just that there is one thing, the same industry is light, and there are small groups everywhere, this golden job is not good.
The palace chefs are mainly from Shandong, but the ancestors of the Zhang family are authentic southerners and are good at southern-style children's dishes.
Although it was announced that he was transferred from the people to the Qing Palace's imperial dining room, it was a step to the sky, but he was also fighting alone.
There is neither a peak to take care of, nor the support of fellow villagers, and is deeply hated by colleagues, so isn't there a contradiction between right and wrong?
However, the ancestral temperament of the Zhang family is similar to that of Yuye.
belongs to the second-class people mentioned by Du Yuesheng, who has the ability and stinky temper, and doesn't know how to bend his waist at all.
The ancestors of the Zhang family relied on Qianlong's appreciation, which almost offended all his colleagues.
So it's just a generation of scenery, since the death of Qianlong, the "Bole", and the frugal Jiaqing as the master, the Zhang family's situation is even more Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and the year is not as good as a year.
Since then, the exclusion of different methods has followed.
No matter how good your skills are, you can't stand people joining forces to make you bad, calling you in circles everywhere, and not giving you a chance to show your face at all.
If you want to go, you can't go. Do you want to go back to your hometown with the bounty to live a good life?
If you don't toss you with four claws to the sky, and don't toss you poor, you won't know how powerful the palace is.
As a result, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng, after these three dynasties, the Zhang family has almost exhausted the forty-eight places in the imperial dining room for several generations.
Where to be busy and where to go, where to go hard, but there is no fart.
Not to mention the good things such as promotion, sharing profits and rewarding silver, and taking out the ingredients in the palace, in order to cope with the mistakes of the peak, the family business is about to be scattered.
The grievance is really great.
But the words have to be said in two ways, and the blessings and misfortunes of the blessings and the blessings of the misfortunes depend.
Just because of the disguised hard labor of several generations of the Zhang family who have been spinning in circles like donkeys, they have worked in both the outer dining room and the inner dining room.
What meat bureau, vegetarian bureau, dinner bureau, hanging stove bureau, dim sum bureau, ambition bureau, and dining room warehouse are all poor.
What elder brother, concubine, guards, palace maids, and eunuchs have all handled the food.
Therefore, the Zhang family has almost thought through the diet up and down the palace, and has also pondered it all over.
Up to the Bazhen Banquet, down to the Sula Sauce, what southern cuisine, northern cuisine, full seat, Han banquet, full Mongolian barbecue, that is all proficient.
The menus of the inner and outer dining rooms recorded by several generations alone are enough for two large books.
To put it bluntly, in terms of understanding the food situation in the palace, the Zhang family is qualified to be the director of Guanglu Temple and the imperial dining room.
Not to mention the imperial chefs, if it is better than cooking, they should all go home and pick up the children.
So gold always has to shine, no, a God-given opportunity, just because the Queen Mother of the West has an unbalanced diet, and she is angry.
Shan Zheng was really forced to run out of options, and he couldn't wait to hang himself, so he remembered that the grandfather of "Zhang Dascoop" came.
As a result, I voted for fate after a try, and the grandfather of "Zhang Dascoo" relied on a family heirloom of "cherry meat", a product of "fried elm mushrooms", a plate of "yellow flour dumplings" and a bowl of "Qiaochun soup", which made the Queen Mother of the West have a great appetite on the spot and was transferred to the longevity room.
After that, it was the turn of the Zhang family's craftsmanship to rise to the top.
It's quite popular, and the rewards are endless.
It's a pity that the Zhang family's luck is still a little insufficient.
Although I had to meet the "Ming Lord", I finally met Cixi, an old lady who was more delicious and luxurious than Qianlong.
But it came a little late.
Because at this time, the Queen Mother of the West was not only in her sixties, but also quite unable to control her mouth.
She was too gluttonous and too unrestrained.
As long as your stomach feels a little empty, as long as there is nothing to do, you have to eat.
For example, once, "Galeries Lafayette" had just finished eating a snack at the "Gyeongbok Pavilion" in the Summer Palace, and was heading to the "Harmony Garden" to eat.
I didn't expect to stop suddenly while walking, and I don't know why, I was about to eat fish soup.
Yes, the grandfather of "Zhang Dascoo" had to quickly take out the small stove he was carrying, make it on the spot, and serve it on the spot.
That's not all, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and have to eat "roast pork rind", and my favorite "stewed duck" has to be served all at once.
Chestnut pancakes and fried triangles with minced meat, you have to eat the oily ones that run out of the pot as soon as you bite them.
Think about it, how can an old lady of this age hold back these greasy!
Yes, in the late autumn of 1908, the autumn was dry, improper conditioning, and diarrhea. In the end, it became dysentery.
To put it bluntly, the old queen died in her own mouth.
As a result, the palace was streamlined, the longevity room was disbanded, and the grandfather of the Zhang family and the masters recruited by the people left the palace together and dispersed to make their own lives.
However, although he lost his job, fortunately, at this time, the grandfather of the Zhang family had already relied on the Queen Mother of the West to have a foundation and became famous, and many princes and nobles were attracted to him and asked him to enter the mansion as a chef.
And the grandfather of the Zhang family is also very shrewd, he refuses to hang a tree, and declares that he will only make a "boiling" for a table of more than 1,000 yuan, and only accept temporary hires.
This is more sought after, and it is a daily gold.
In the end, Mr. Zhang gave his son Zhang Zhiyi to the church, and he lived in a big house and became an old lady comfortably.
At that time, the Natong of Goldfish Hutong and the Zeng Chong of Qinlao Hutong, these two wealthy people of the Internal Affairs Office were the main customers of the Zhang family.
There is such a sentence in "Natong Diary", "Eat Zhang Zhi tonight".
This is something that ordinary people can't understand, but in fact, it means that the father of "Zhang Dascoop" is invited into the house to make a "bother" banquet.
If you look at the "sheep's head horse" that sells 100 white water sheep's heads every day at the front door, you can live in a big house and feed your daughter-in-law and a large family just by relying on the skill of snacks.
It can be imagined how nourishing the life of the Zhang family is.
So in fact, as soon as "Zhang Dascoop" was born, it was also in a large mansion with three entrances and cross-courtyards.
As the only son of the Zhang family, in his early childhood, there was no shortage of small pots made of small gold ingots and jadeite.
And you must see that he is no worse than the young master of the family, but he does not have the stinky problems of the young master of the family.
Because the Zhang family is a craftsman, the father of "Zhang Dascoo" asked him to learn to cook with him when he was a child, and he would never raise the young master's embryo.
But "Zhang Dascoo" still has this talent, he can understand it at a glance, loves to eat and do, and looks for delicious and delicious food all over the capital.
At a young age, he knew how to combine the method of bancai with it, and created fashionable new dishes such as "breaded chicken" and "decree prawns".
This not only made Zhang Zhi proud, but also made the Zhang family's "bratto" package more famous.
What else is there to worry about when Lao Tzu is worried? He pondered that his son would probably not be poor for the rest of his life
It's a pity that the knowledge of craftsmen who don't read is limited after all.
They don't know that there is a country bigger than home, and everyone is always affected by the situation.
It is impossible to create a comfortable nest by relying on craftsmanship alone.
And at critical times, luck and bad luck are often just a thought.
Just because of the lack of reason, if you are confused, you will regret it.
