The rest of the sea cucumbers, originally he only planned to sell them for sixty yuan and thank God, but after this kid's hands, it turned out to be one hundred and seventy-seven, almost twice as much. That's half a year's salary for ordinary people.
Seriously, since he was beaten as a "sea bumper", he has never sold for such a good price. And even if he sincerely wants to thank him, but people still insist on not taking a penny, how much affection is this?
Therefore, the "old saury" with a bulging waist bag was overjoyed, not only agreed to introduce other "sea bumpers" to Hong Yanwu, but also patted his chest and offered to invite everyone to continue to eat a big meal in the evening.
Naturally, the ten-yuan room fee, he didn't care about it at this time, on the contrary, he felt that the money was really worth it. He even secretly made a decision, if Hong Yanwu and the others received the sea cucumbers tomorrow and wanted to continue selling them here, he would also cover the house money for the next day.
In this way, that night, Hong Yanwu and his wife went to the most well-known restaurant near the Bincheng Railway Station to taste authentic Bincheng cuisine at the kind invitation of "Lao Daoyu".
The so-called Bincheng cuisine is actually a variant branch of Shandong cuisine, with seafood as the main raw material, influenced by Northeast cuisine, Fujian Haixi cuisine, as well as Japanese cuisine and Russian cuisine, and has formed its own unique style.
"Seafood Restaurant" is a time-honored restaurant that has been inherited for nearly 100 years and has operated Russian and Asian cuisine. This long-established restaurant is also known as the "seafood restaurant" among the locals, and it is said that the most authentic Bencheng cuisine is made here.
In fact, according to the meaning of "old saury", I originally wanted to order some meat dishes such as "Kung Pao Diced Pork" and "Croquette Platter". Because the most he eats in his life is seafood, he really doesn't have a "cold" for the signature dishes here. This is also to make a name for yourself.
But Hong Yanwu is a knowledgeable person, he looked at the menu, and found that "braised abalone", "prawns" and so on, and the price was cheap, so he wanted everyone to try the serious way of seafood dishes, and if you want to eat it, you can eat the signature dish.
Then the guest is as he pleases, and the "old saury" has to change the "drama" by him, ordering "family portrait", "braised lantern sea cucumber", "prawns", "sweet and sour yellow croaker", "boiled fish fillet", "flower red red nail" These seafood dishes.
In those days, due to institutional reasons, there was another obvious feature of the service industry in Tiannan and Haibei, that is, the temper of the workers was particularly big. Because of the low income and the fact that it is a job to serve people, few people can be conscientious about their own work.
Specifically, in the case of restaurant waiters, you have to be angry when dealing with them. Even so, if you want to catch up with someone who is not in a good mood, he can hang you and ignore you for a long time, and the time to serve you is even more unproductive.
If you dare to urge the waiter, it will be even more doomed, and you will definitely be able to quarrel with you, and you will be full of gas just by fighting your anger. There are even serious situations in some places, and there are still cases of waiters beating and scolding customers.
Of course, Hong Yanwu is aware of this malaise in society, and he also knows that the dishes he ordered today not only need to be carefully prepared by the chef, but also need to be served in time and eaten while hot. So he secretly stuffed the waiter in charge of their table with a pack of good cigarettes, and asked him to bring two packs into the kitchen, and the little bribe worked wonders.
The waiter changed his indifferent face to others, and was extremely thoughtful to them, and the dishes were served in time as soon as they came out. The kitchen also redoubled its efforts to collect cigarettes, and put all their dishes at the front. So much so that the guests who came before them around had just served cold spells and "Bohai Beer" on the table, and their dishes were already all ready.
made a few guests next to him, and thought they were some great big guys. Especially after hearing them chatting with the waiter and revealing the spoken language of the capital, they actually whispered in private, guessing that they were from the capital. almost didn't let the "little hundred" with the most ears choke on the food.
But then again, the dishes on that table really lived up to their reputation, and everything was so wonderful that the four of them almost lost their tongues.
The most brilliant thing of the day is the "family portrait", the ingredients of this dish are very exquisite, with sea cucumber, abalone, prawns, fine fish fillet, conch slices, dried scallops, squid flowers and other nearly ten kinds of sea treasures, supplemented by magnolia slices, meat slices and other ingredients, its taste is quite similar to "Buddha jumping over the wall".
This is the famous dish of the town store of "Seafood Restaurant", and most regular customers will basically order one as long as they come here. It was this dish that first won the appreciation of "Old Saury", which made him sigh, "I really didn't expect that the things I eat every day can actually make this taste." It seems that all the seafood of my life has been eaten in vain. Fortunately, after listening to Xiao Wu, you people in the capital still have insight. ”
Hong Yanwu is most interested in "braised lantern sea cucumber" and "sweet and sour yellow croaker", but the reason is a bit vulgar, completely caused by the cheap price.
Because the raw materials of "lantern sea cucumber" are all 50 or 60 heads of one pound of large sea cucumbers, if it is in the capital for the "green onion roasted sea cucumber" famous all over the world "Fengze Garden", now order such a whole cucumber will cost thousands of yuan, but this dish is sold for five yuan for six servings.
Similarly, according to the raw materials of "sweet and sour yellow croaker", three catties of wild rhubarb flowers worth 4,000 yuan a catty are only two yuan a piece at this time. Therefore, Hong Yanwu, this kid, feels that every bite is too cost-effective, and the psychological enjoyment is far beyond the happiness brought by the taste buds.
Chen Liquan has a simple temperament, and his favorite dish is naturally the most straightforward dish "boiled fish fillet".
This dish is a traditional Lu cuisine practice, the "flounder" sliced into a thin square, and then poured with thick juice, eat a bite of tender, delicate, fragrant, because the material is fresh and no thorns, the taste is far better than the river fish used in general Lu cuisine, it is really outstanding!
What makes "Little Baizi" the most satisfied is "prawns", which is also a famous dish of "Seafood Restaurant", which is actually the prototype of "braised prawns in oil". The same is the best choice of materials, four pairs of three and two Bohai Bay prawns, only to buy two pieces of five. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, fresh and fragrant, and it is not a delicacy in the world!
Speaking of which, it's really a good time for Hong Yanwu and them to catch up. In this era, prices have not been liberalized, and many celebrity chefs with real skills have not retired, so they have spent more than a dozen yuan to eat a seafood feast that is difficult to buy in modern society. If it is left to the present, even the top noodles of "Shunfeng" will not be able to make this taste.
In fact, in the 80s, when Shengmeng seafood was just xingxing, when he got a high salary, he made raw seafood in Guangdong and Chaoshan, and in the face of the compliments of his peers in Bincheng, he waved his hand again and again and said that they were really not the best, and the best master was still in Bincheng.
It's not that these people are humble. Because the "National Cooking Competition Champion" for several consecutive years was from Bincheng, among which the chef of the "Seafood Restaurant" had a monopoly for several sessions, relying on "prawns" and "original abalone", it should be said that far before Cantonese seafood, Bincheng's seafood was famous all over the country.
But it is a pity that the fame of Bincheng cuisine is limited to the official, and in doing business, the northerners are not as practical and shrewd as the southerners, so that no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it can not be promoted and recognized by the people, which is really a pity.
Anyway, in general, Hong Yanwu and their "violent rubbing", several people ate so much that they didn't even have the time to speak, and they were reluctant to put down the chopsticks from picking up them, until most of them were eliminated, and they didn't have the heart to drink and chat.
And at this time, the "old knife fish" remembered one thing, and couldn't help but ask Hong Yanwu.
"Xiao Wu, I just listened to what you meant, let me introduce the 'sea cucumbers' to you, also to collect their sea cucumbers and sell them in the guest house to make the difference, right? Then are you going back with me? Let's go to the sea again, but we're going to go for abalone and sea cucumbers......"
The meaning of the words "old saury" is obvious, the real deep water area is deeper and colder, so you have to suffer, where is it comfortable to lie down here and earn money? Therefore, when Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi" heard this, they also looked at Hong Yanwu.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu did not hesitate. "Go back, definitely go back. Old man, I am here to earn two money, that is, to 'dye my body' (jargon, try the depth of water) by the way, mainly to see how the market of sea cucumbers is, so as to plan for hiring a boat in winter. But even if you have the money to hire a boat, you still have to go to the sea to find the 'Foiled Tiger Dragon'. So, it's the right thing to learn from you to 'touch the sea'. I'm going to be lazy and greedy for money, and I won't be able to go to the sea in winter. ”
When the "old swordfish" heard this, he smiled very gratifying and praised him sincerely.
"Good boy! It seems that you haven't forgotten the important things, and I'm afraid that you will see the money and forget your father! Okay, you are an understanding person, and I am relieved to have you say this. Tomorrow, not only will I have to take you to find the 'sea bumper', but we will also have to find someone to make up for the tools you lack. In this way, it is good to go to the sea, which ......"
