At the dinner, this pig's head meat must have been intentional, but when it comes to this allusion, it is unintentional, but when it comes to the rare anecdotes of ancient times, it can more or less arouse people's curiosity, not to mention that it is the imperial chef, the emperor, and the legendary food of Dayuan.........

When it comes to eating, when it comes to eating-related anecdotes, Jian Fan is like two people who can be judged by the exam, a pair of talented eight buckets, rich and five cars, and a poet and bookish style, just listen to him eloquently: "This imperial chef, surnamed Luo, there is a record in the city chronicles, the name cannot be examined, and it is called Luo Imperial Kitchen, but there is an exact record of the earliest appearance in the Wanli period of Mingshenzong, which is later than the origin of Fenjiu, but it is more than 100 years earlier than the Gulou haggis! Legend has it that Luo Imperial Chef learned to cook at the age of eight. Fifteen entered the palace, stayed in the palace for a lifetime, and finally returned to his hometown, his hometown is our Dayuan Mansion here, and he has been an imperial chef for a lifetime, and his family background is okay, but this chef still has one thing to worry about, what is it?"

Jian Fan sold a pass as usual, but unexpectedly, Xiangxiangzui quickly answered: "I know, I don't have a son." ”

"No, there are sons, not only there are, but there are several, it is precisely because the son is worried about the descendants that his generation is clothed and fed, but what about the descendants, it is difficult to say. People say that there are no more than three generations of wealth, and after three generations, Wang Hou also becomes a beggar...... Our ancient people pay attention to sitting on the gold mountain is not as good as a skill, this imperial chef finally came up with a rut, pondered for a few years, combined with his lifetime experience as an imperial chef, concocted the sauce and process of braised meat, the most famous of which is rosin white cut meat, he used this most inconspicuous, everywhere to pick up the visible ingredients, made a delicious taste that everyone recognizes, legend has it that the white cut meat is up to the dignitaries, down to the peddler pawn all like a delicacy, and our province's Fenjiu, vinegar is almost as famous. This craft has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been passed down for more than 13 generations and 400 years!"

"Then since he is an imperial chef, why don't you teach your son some other skills, and have to make this inconspicuous pig's head meat? ”

Secretary He asked with a smile, and when he was talking, he raised his eyes and glanced at his boss, and saw that Mr. Jiang was also listening, which made him a little relieved, perhaps what surprised him was that Jian Fan, who originally looked a little like a student who was not in the world, said this, but he had a tone full of vicissitudes.

Jian Fan was willing to solve the problem for this beauty, and said with a smile: "Good question, there is a problem of limited ingredients, in the palace, shark fin, bird's nest, bear's paw, these rare ingredients are not uncommon like cabbage, in the palace, the chef can be useful." As soon as the imperial chef returned to his hometown, he would not be able to do it as badly as the emperor, no matter how good his family background was, it would not be possible to collapse as much as the emperor wanted? This was a helpless move, but it was also his cleverness, even if he taught his children and grandchildren the ability of imperial food, but if the descendants could not enter the palace, wouldn't there still be a problem with this livelihood? Therefore, he chose the most common, the most inconspicuous and the most popular pig's head meat, and used all his life's skills on this inconspicuous ingredient, so that his future generations would have no worries about food and clothing......... And the Luo family, it is precisely because of this popular cuisine that it has lasted for hundreds of years, and it really doesn't matter whether he is an imperial chef or not!"

Several people slowly listened to this story, Jiang Jiuding was pondering, the two ladies waited for the following, and seeing that Jian Fan didn't say anything, Zhang Kai asked: "Then later, why did it become extinct?"

"If the comedy grows, it becomes a tragedy!" Jian Fan took a sip, but it was white wine, he simply drank it all, smacked his lips and said: "The things behind it are not satisfactory, the Luo family has been liberated in the hands of the thirteenth generation Luo Shouzhang, and the two most famous in Dayuan City at that time were the Gulou Mutton Soup and Haggis, and the other was the Luojia Sauce Workshop. After so many years of development, the finished product of the sauce shop is not only pig's head meat, sauce elbow, sauce meat, sauce duck, sauce chicken more than a dozen varieties are quite distinctive, before the liberation of the dignitaries, landlords and gentry, local warlords and other such figures, almost all of them are the guests of the Luo family, the Luo family abides by the duties of businessmen, the trade is fair, the children are not bullied, neither by their own money to oppress the good, nor rely on the ancestral shade to climb the power of the nobles, do business, generous profits;

But it was liberated, and the good days came, but it was wiped out! But this kind of old shop, the view of passing on the son but not the daughter, and the long and not the second, is quite serious, when the public-private partnership, the old Luo family is reluctant to hand over the secret recipe of the Luo family's sauce shop, but because the Luo family has a good reputation, it barely escaped a catastrophe! * After the beginning, the old shop disaster came, the old account and the new account were turned out and counted together, before the liberation of the Luo family seat there were all kinds of people, landlords, warlords, bandits, Soldiers and ruffians, etc., even these people have a lot of respect for this businessman who has no quarrel with the world. But it is precisely these things that make the land, rich, anti, and bad almost have anything to do with them, the first batch was beaten into the 'black five' elements, the glory of the past has become today's sin, Luo Shouzhang was deducted a few hats, his home was raided, the store was smashed, and an old store that has been inherited for hundreds of years was destroyed overnight...... After the sauce jar that had been passed down for more than ten generations in the sauce shop was smashed, the old couple felt shameless to see the ancestors of the Luo family again, holding the last jar of marinade, and drank all the arsenic, until they died, the couple did not bow their heads to anyone and confess their guilt, because they felt that the business had been done for hundreds of years, and they were upright.........; Since then, the recipe for turning decay into magic has been lost........."

Jian Fan said, his voice became deeper and deeper, this story came from his father Jian Zhongzhong, at his age, he may not be able to understand the meaning of the story, but even so, he can feel that the steadfastness and integrity in a person's character have little to do with his background and his profession.

"And then...... Does the Luo family have no descendants?"

Secretary He looked at Mr. Jiang and Manager Zhang and kept silent, as if looking forward to the following, and asked a question, and this story was suspenseful in his heart.

"No, the eldest son of the Luo family was implicated, died in the labor camp, his daughter-in-law was shaved yin and yang head and paraded in the street unbearable insult, holding a three-year-old child, jumped from the bell and drum tower, the mother and son fell into a blur of flesh and blood; the younger son was a teenager at the time, not yet an adult, and his relatives died overnight, and then I heard that he was crazy, and the last vein of the Luo family sauce shop and the Luo family was also broken, forty years, I have not heard of the comeback of the descendants of the Luo family, this family, wiped out......... It's a pity that a generation of food inheritance was not destroyed in the change of dynasties, not in the war and military disaster, not in the plague and banditry, but in the end it was destroyed in the hands of its own people in the era of peace, it's a pity......

My father only heard this regrettable thing from the mouth of the guy who came out of the Luo family shop back then, but the secret sauce recipe that has been passed down for more than ten generations is no longer known, and he has always wanted to re-show this hand into a magical mastery, but unfortunately, these recipes made by the ancients are incomparably magical, and coupled with the limitations of current ingredients and medicinal materials, it is impossible to achieve the wish! It took 20 years of hard work, and only seven or eight percent of them were similar. It is still a distance to look up to the real white cut meat, and it is still a distance to look up to the level of Luo Yu Chef and Luojia Sauce Shop back then. In fact, at this level, gastronomy, like cultural heritage, and antique cultural relics, are almost non-renewable, and we can only get closer to them in future generations, but we can't reach their heights!"

Speaking of this, the ancients sighed, half a large cup of liquor, drank it all, and the sound of pouring the glass on the table "bang" made everyone startled, and they were immersed in this story.

In just a few words, as if traveling for centuries, the four people quietly immersed themselves in the pathos brought by this story, but unfortunately, pathetic, lamentable and fascinated by the sages, suddenly made everyone's hearts twisted into a small pimple, but they don't know how this humble delicacy involves so many miserable pasts.

After being silent for a long time, Secretary He, who didn't blink a glance, was awakened by the sound of the cup, and looked at Jian Fan's eyes as if he saw Chef Luo Yu, and praised it very sincerely: "Amazing! A businessman has such a temperament, it's amazing!"

"Your father is also amazing!" Jiang Jiuding was also quite touched when he heard it, and said gloomily. Adjusting the atmosphere, he also raised his glass and persuaded: "Come on, have a drink, I'll do it first as a respect!"

"Okay, admit the punishment! Not to mention three cups of punishment for the Luo family, if I can see the descendants of the Luo Imperial Chef again, I am willing to let them burn the fire and chop wood, fetch water and wipe the table as a buddy!"

Speaking of food, when it comes to the most fascinating person in his life, Jian Fan said it quite arrogantly, holding a cup of drinking water and pouring a small half glass of wine, and drank it all!

Jiang Jiuding used a delicate cup, and Jian Fan still used a cup of drinking water, sixty degrees of cellar Lao Baifen, although the entrance is cool, but the stamina is great, almost half of a bottle of wine is drunk by Jian Fan alone, there is no lag when drinking, and there is no reaction on his face until now, and he can see Jiang Jiuding and Manager Zhang Kai smacking their tongues!

The original laughing and laughing dinner was told a little dull by a story, perhaps because of the allusion, the plate of delicate white cut meat was eaten by everyone, and the eaters praised endlessly, Secretary He didn't seem to like fatty meat, and he also tasted a few pieces!

When the dinner was almost over, Secretary He didn't know what to say to Xiangxiang by biting his ear, the two ladies said goodbye, and left with a mysterious face, Jian Fan looked at this posture, but he was embarrassed to ask, and he probably didn't say anything if he asked. followed this manager to do some things, and went out first.

Jian Fan looked back at Jiang Jiuding, guessed eight or nine, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, don't keep making your eyes look good, what you know is that you have something to say, you don't know, and you still think that you and my girlfriend are eyebrows? Let me thank you in advance for this jar of cellar Lao Baifen, it's been twenty years, right?"

"Huh...... I know I can't hide anything from your eyes, talk fast, how about we talk about business?" Jiang Jiuding generously pushed away the cup and saucer, but he was holding the cup and looking at Jian Fan with inquiring eyes.

"I have no capital, no resources, we don't seem to have anything to talk about, you just fall in love with the old store of the Jian family, I can't be a home in that matter, look at this plate of meat, I think about it, you should already know my father's attitude!"

Jian Fan smiled noncommittally.

Jiang Jiuding didn't mind Jian Fan's attitude, and responded with a smile: "Yes, you guessed right, originally I dug out my hollow thoughts, which was to dig your father into our store, or unscrupulously get your Jian family's recipe, so that Jiuding's diet, especially soup and stew, can be raised to a higher level." I changed my mind just now, and I want to ask you for a favor?"

"Say, do you want this recipe for fake white meat? Jian Fan said.

"Yes, I'll pay you! I'll do the math, although your Jian's old store is doing well, but in the county, the profits are not very rich, and a gross income of 100,000 yuan a year is already good, just this recipe and process of white meat, I will pay you 50,000 yuan, almost a year's net income, how about it?" Jiang Jiuding said generously, watching Jian Fan's expression change.

Jian Fan smiled lightly, and refused with a smile: "This is not a white cut of meat, you can figure it out, imitation, fake, this craft is not our secret, but my father is ashamed to take it out to others, and the old guy who used to work in the store can almost make a seven or eight point appearance." To put it bluntly, it's not worth a few dollars, let alone fifty thousand, five thousand is a bit much. Let me tell you another secret, this secret is: in Jane's cuisine, there is no secret recipe, if you are patient, go to the store as a buddy, and in two years, you will have all the ingredients!"

"Won't it?" Jiang Jiuding was surprised at this time, and asked Jian Fan in disbelief: "Many people, including me, have tasted the stews and soups of the Jian family's old shop, which are indeed a grade higher than those in the provincial capital." ”

"Haha......... Well said, this is where my father is stronger than others, he has been improving, has been working hard, he is a person who pursues perfection, there is no room for a little sloppiness, his disciples have come out to open a shop and set up their own door, but there is no one who can really surpass him. Every year, he comes up with more than a dozen new ideas. Jian Fan said proudly.

"Amazing, really amazing!" Jiang Jiuding gave a thumbs up in admiration: "The more you say this, the more I want this recipe and process of white-cut meat, and the character of your family, fake, it is also worth 50,000 yuan?...... I'm a businessman, I know the other side, I know your roots, you're still at home, you need this money. ”

"Well, that's right, it's not that I won't sell it to you, I'm afraid that you will regret it, this thing was given to you, I'm afraid of pitting you. Jian Fan shook his head, poured Jiang Jiuding a glass of wine casually, and poured it for himself. People respect me, I respect people, Jiang Jiuding's humility today really made Jian Fan dare not put on a shelf anymore.

"Is it? What else is strange about this?" Jiang Jiuding was puzzled.

"I have so many concerns, one, this is not a white cut of meat, you figure it out, the real white cut meat recipe, not to mention 50,000, 500,000 is impossible; Second, these processes are very cumbersome, if you want to use it for mass production to make a fortune, it is not very likely; third, the formula of the marinade is defective, it is said that a vat of marinade in Luojia Sauce Workshop does not taste for more than ten years, but this kind of no, the marinade comes over three times, the taste is getting worse and worse, time-consuming, labor-intensive and material-consuming, there is no preservation value, and the meat made is just like the taste. Jian Fan shook his head and said.

Jiang Jiuding pondered for a long time, and still invited very sincerely: "Jian Fan, thank you for saying that! Let's put it this way, even if it has a thousand or ten thousand defects, even if he is worthless, I am still willing to buy it for 50,000 yuan, and you can rest assured, I will definitely not look for your account! In addition, I just want to attach a small condition, you can't consider going down........."

"Don't, Mr. Jiang, don't give me the next trap and put me in a weasel, it's too late for me to cry. If you really want this semi-finished formula, I'll tell you, you don't need to do so much, it's really not worth much. If you want to say that you come to my store to eat, I will slaughter you 1,200, then I am not ashamed, if I want to wronged you 50,000 at once, I dare not take it. Jian Fan smiled and sipped wine, with the heart of a child who had never seen a lot of money.

"You'll have to listen to my conditions, wait a minute!"

Jiang Jiuding said, pulled out the phone, and after a while, the manager knocked on the door with a delicate metal box, cleaned up the table, put the box on the dining table, and opened the box with a bang.

Knives of different lengths!

Seven-inch fruit knife, twelve-inch beef knife, thick-back bone knife, fruit carving knife, four-color thin kitchen knife, sand sharpening stick!

The big girl loves to be pretty, and the little chef loves knives, of course she loves knives, looking at such a dazzling array of them, it is simply a miniature version of the knife type, which suddenly makes Jian Fan's eyes hot.

"Haha...... Red powder for the beauty, sword for the martyr, this kitchen knife, can only be given to the chef, Jian Fan, like it! Jiang Jiuding looked at it and was happy, it seems that this gift was sent in the right way, this idea was not something he came up with, but the information that Secretary He took out of Xiangxiang's mouth, it seems that it is really what he likes.

"This ...... Mr. Jiang, how can this be embarrassing?" Jian Fan was so polite for the first time, he was a little embarrassed, embarrassed to accept this big gift!

"Jian Fan, I haven't finished yet. I'll give you a knife, it's not for you to play, I'll ask you to stay here for a few days, let's make an appointment, a week! Give you a week, cook one meal a day, how about seven dishes and one soup, but seven days, can't be repeated, can you do it?" Jiang Jiuding said, and there was no sense of agitation in his words.

"I ...... Who do you cook for?" Jian Fan was stunned when he heard this.

"Don't, don't get me wrong! I didn't make it clear, give you a chance to show your love, you do it for Ms. Liu Xiangchun, what about us, I ...... Manager Zhang and I had a good time and solved our hunger...... Hehe, this is my selfishness, to be honest, I really want to invite my parents to come, let them taste your local flavor, and also do my filial piety! If you need something, tell Manager Zhang...... How about fulfilling us once?" Jiang Jiuding tactfully invited again. The eyes are like peach blossoms, so bright that it seems that spring is coming, and with such a magnificent reason, it is really unbearable for people to refuse.

"Okay...... Don't blame me if you don't do well!"

"How could it be? Manager Zhang, that ......"

The two of them said, but Zhang Kai had already put down the two cards, and pulled them with a smile: "Brother Jane, VIP card, welcome to come at any time, as well as the transfer fee of 50,000 yuan arranged by Mr. Jiang, the password is the last six digits of the card number, you can take it!"

Looking at the knife, looking at the card, and then thinking about the shyness in the bag, Jian Fan nodded, and said stupidly: "Okay, then I might as well be respectful, I will accept the money, I will also make it clear to you, the formula is really worthless, you try it first, anyway, I stay for a week, I am not satisfied, I can take the money away at any time, although I need the money very much, but I am really a little weak in taking this money!"

The implication is that all the things of collecting money and cooking should be inherited.

"You put your heart in your stomach, with your sincerity, I won't be wronged if I spend tens of thousands of dollars to make a friend like you......... Come on, go, I've delayed you a lot, let's go, don't look back and make Ms. Liu unhappy........."

Jiang Jiuding smiled and interrupted Jian Fan's words, Zhang Kai packed up his things, and the three of them walked out of the restaurant, and sent Jian Fan to the elevator entrance of the main building until it was over!

This manager looked at Mr. Jiang, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled slightly! It seems that only these two people understand!

…………………………………………

…………………………………………

When she returned to room 1011, Xiangxiang had been waiting for a long time, watching Jian Fan come back with the box, and glared at Jian Fan dumbfounded: "Wow, earn so much money back?"

"Ah!?Wealth fan!" Jian Fan glared, and threw the box on the bed, Xiangxiang opened it and saw that she was disappointed, and said unhappily: "Mr. Jiang is such a small family, he invited you from so far away, just to send a few knives?"

"Not only the knife, but also this!" Jian Fan took out his pocket, threw the two cards on the bed, and explained the process carefully, Xiangxiang was happy when he heard that it was a free card and money, and grabbed it: "It's confiscated! It's at my disposal! ”

"Don't, listen to me, this money is a little weak, that recipe is really not worth anything, the cost is high, time-consuming and labor-intensive, I really don't know, what does he want this for?" Jian Fan stopped, but he was suspicious.

"What do you care so much for? He is willing to buy it, and you are not lying to him......... Don't worry, these people have money to burn, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars to put a carved ornament in the hotel. Xiangxiang said, unhappy.

"Then keep it first, and then return it to them if they are not satisfied......... I'll call my mom. Jian Fan was still excited, but he still said a little weakly, slaughtering three hundred and two hundred and stealing fun, and engaging in thirty and fifty thousand, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep. It's the first time to earn so much money while living so big.

"Stop fighting!" Xiangxiang heard this, but pressed Jian Fan's mobile phone, bit her lip and said with a smile: "I just called, I asked for leave for you, I told your mother, let you stay here for a few days, cook for me." ”

"Hey...... That's okay! That's right, don't ask me about the exam again! Hey, I said, did Jiang Jiuding plan it a long time ago, let me be a cook here for a few days, try how it is first, and then sell it for a price. Jian Fan said with a smile, it seems that he can only think so now, but if you really want to make money as a cook, this four-star hotel is of course much better than the store in your hometown, maybe one person is worth the income of a store.

"Yes, if you really come here, won't your monthly salary be lower than mine?" I heard that the chef here is six or seven thousand a month, and if you can earn so much, we still need to worry about the house, and it won't take five years to pay it off!" said Xiangxiang wistfully.

"Sounds good! Then try it!" Jian Fan said disappreciably, he was a little absent-minded, he drank a few taels of wine, drank so much that he was ready to move, holding Xiangxiang's hand dishonestly, and quietly stretched it into his skirt!

"Yike...... What are you doing!?hate it!" Xiang Xiang pulled the hand that had reached in like a stocking.

Unexpectedly, Jian Fan turned over and a hungry tiger pounced, and said with a smile: "Hee...... I serve you during the day, and you serve me at night! I can't cook for you in vain...... Haha......"

"Take a shower, it stinks!"

"Let's go......"

Talking, playing, but Jian Fan rushed into the bathroom with the petite Xiangxiang in his arms, the sound of rushing water, screams, oh, and moaning sounded after a while, filling the room!

Oh! It seems that the business of serving each other has also been sold!
