Chapter 72: "The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall"
"The taste of this 'back to the pot meat' is so good, it makes me feel like I have returned to my childhood!" After a plate of back pot meat was swept away by the four of them, Zhao Yan said with some emotion.
"Yes, this dish of pork is not only beautiful and fragrant, but also has an endless aftertaste. Wang Lao also said with emotion.
"Is this 'back to the pot meat' really Sichuan cuisine?"
Zhao Min asked curiously, in Zhao Min's eyes, Sichuan cuisine is generally very spicy, and the back pot meat is not very spicy, and in the south, a place that does not like to eat spicy food, it is also very popular, basically all the chefs of the restaurant will make this dish, how can it be Sichuan cuisine famous for spicy.
"You have to ask Director Zhao about this, I also know today that this 'back to the pot meat' is Sichuan cuisine. ”
Ye Tianya said that Ye Tianya also often eats "back to the pot meat", but he never knew that this "back pot meat" was Sichuan cuisine, and Ye Tianya had always thought that this "back pot meat" was Zhejiang cuisine.
"'Back to the pot meat' is of course Sichuan cuisine, or the most authentic Sichuan cuisine, not all Sichuan cuisine is very spicy, and there are many non-spicy dishes in Sichuan cuisine, such as 'boiling water cabbage', 'bad fragrant winter bamboo shoots', etc., are all famous dishes in Sichuan cuisine that have no spicy taste at all. Zhao Yan explained.
……
An hour passed, and Ye Rongrong finished cooking the last dish, which was called "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall", which was the finale of the day.
Speaking of this "Buddha jumping over the wall" is a famous dish in Fu Province, there is a beautiful legend about this "Buddha jumping over the wall" famous dish.
It is said that in the past, it was customary in Fu Province that on the third day after the new daughter-in-law got married, she would personally cook and show her tea and rice skills, serve her in-laws, and win appreciation. ”
"Legend has it that there was a rich girl who was pampered and did not learn to cook, and was sad on the eve of her marriage. Her mother took out all the delicacies from the mountains and seas at home and made all kinds of dishes, wrapped them in lotus leaves one by one, and told her how to cook them. Who knew that this young lady had forgotten the firing method, and in a hurry, she poured all the dishes into a Shaojiu jar, covered them with lotus leaves, and put them on the stove. ”
"The next day, the strong fragrance wafted out, and the family praised the good dishes, and since then there has been this 'Buddha jumping over the wall' of 'eighteen dishes boiled in one pot'. ”
These are all "lazy people's systems" when transmitting god-level cooking skills, and also transmitting information related to such dishes to Ye Rongrong.
When Ye Rongrong brought the last dish "Buddha Jumping over the Wall" to the dining table, Wang Lao and Zhao Yan were stunned, could the chef who made such a delicious dish just now be this person?
"Xiao Ye, is this the nephew you said?" Wang Lao came back to his senses and pointed at Ye Rongrong and asked suspiciously.
"Elder Wang, Director Zhao, this is my nephew Ye Rongrong, this table of dishes was made by him alone, Glory, this is Wang Lao, this is Director Zhao, they are all your uncle's leaders. Zhao Tianya introduced both sides.
"Hello Mr. Wang, hello Director Zhao. Ye Rongrong greeted politely.
"I really didn't think that Xiao Ye, your nephew, was so young, and his cooking skills had reached such a high level, it was really incredible. Wang Lao looked at Ye Rongrong and said in surprise.
"Elder Wang, you have won an old award, but it's just a few home-cooked dishes, and I will be very happy to meet your old appetite. Ye Rongrong said modestly.
"It's appetizing, it's so appetizing, it's the most delicious dish I've ever had. Director Zhao said.
"Hehe, you are happy to eat, I am also happy to cook, my third uncle said, I want to use my best skills to make this table, if you are not satisfied, I don't know how to explain to my third uncle." Ye Rongrong said with a smile.
"Glory, if we are not satisfied with the dishes you cooked, there will be no chef in the world, we will be satisfied, your cooking skills are much better than those special chefs. Wang Lao said.
"Elder Wang, don't praise me like this, I'll be proud, I'm not a chef, just a farmer who can cook a few home-cooked dishes. ”
Ye Rongrong said. Ye Rongrong didn't want to rob those chefs' business, and he didn't plan to be a chef. It's okay to be the chef a few times when you give the village a wedding banquet occasionally, but I haven't thought about doing it as a job.
"A farmer can make such a delicious dish, glory, you are definitely the first. Director Zhao said in admiration.
"Glory, what kind of dish are you holding in your hand?"
At this time, Zhao Min stared curiously at the dish that Ye Rongrong was holding in his hand, this dish looked strange, and Zhao Min had never seen it.
"Yes, glory, we can all see what kind of dish it is on this table, this dish in your hand, I really haven't seen it, you can tell me what kind of dish it is. ”
Director Zhao, who thought he was well-informed, also looked strangely at the dish that Ye Rongrong was holding in his hand, in many places in the south, whoever treats guests, the last dish will be the best of all the dishes, this is not only delicious, but more importantly, its value is higher than the previous dishes.
"This dish is called 'Buddha jumping over the wall'. ”
Ye Rongrong said, after all, this "Buddha jumping over the wall" is not seen in ordinary hotels, not to mention that Ye Rongrong is now doing the real "Buddha jumping over the wall", not the fake "Buddha jumping over the wall" that has been changed beyond recognition in some big hotels, so it is normal for many people not to see it.
"This is the 'Buddha jumping over the wall'. ”
Ye Tianya's eyes widened and looked at the "Buddha jumping over the wall" that had been placed on the table, this dish, Ye Tianya had only heard of it, it was said to be very famous and delicious, but he had never seen it.
"Ah, 'Buddha jumping over the wall' looks like this, today is a long insight. ”
Zhao Min was also very curious to look at this legendary famous dish, Zhao Min had only heard of Buddha jumping over the wall on TV, but he had never seen it, let alone eaten it.
"I've eaten 'Buddha jumping over the wall', and it looks different from this. ”
Director Zhao, who had eaten "Buddha jumping over the wall" a few times, said with a frown. After all, this dish looks different from the "Buddha jumping over the wall" that I have eaten before, and you must know that the places to eat are all well-known hotels, and they are all cooked by special chefs.
The "Buddha jumping over the wall" should not be fake.
"Now there are many kinds of 'Buddha jumping over the wall', the practice is not the same, the dishes are not the same, I do the oldest 'Buddha jumping over the wall', of course, it is different from what many hotels do, this 'Buddha jumping over the wall' has eighteen kinds of raw materials, but also the eighteen kinds of raw materials are used to fry, fry, cook, fry a variety of methods to do well, and then pour into the jar with a small fire for two hours, the cooking process is very complicated, the general hotel will not use how long to do this 'Buddha jumping over the wall', their 'Buddha jumping over the wall' are simplified, not authentic' Buddha jumped over the wall'
Ye Rongrong explained. After all, the authentic "Buddha jumping over the wall" production process is particularly cumbersome, and the cooking skills are also paid attention to the teacher, which is the same as learning martial arts, the master will leave some housekeeping skills not to pass on to the apprentices, hundreds of thousands of years later, many secret recipes have begun to be lost or the secret recipe is incomplete, and some have even changed greatly from the original.
"How do you look at this 'Buddha jumping over the wall' has nothing to do with the Buddha, why is it called 'Buddha jumping over the wall'. Zhao Min looked at the "Buddha jumping over the wall" on the table and asked very curiously.
