Lian Xin Xi. Today, I can see that your director highly recommends you to Fusi, and it's really boring to miss you, a gourmet, in the game

A Audi to the Guiyuan Resort, north of Ohara. The leader in the co-pilot looked back and said with a smile. I just saw the diagonal arrow marking: Guiyuan Resort.

It was Shen Ronggui, the deputy mayor of Ohara who had just been in office for a year, and who had disappeared since his previous predecessor disappeared because of an alleged bank fraud case. After more than a year, such a person was directly promoted by the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, and the reason for the promotion was also that the former Director Shen of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau successfully attracted 100 million yuan of investment for the Municipal Industrial Park.

As soon as the leader spoke, Chairman Chen, whose head was slightly gray and looked like Maitreya Buddha, smiled and said nothing, and next to him sat Director Xu, who was the deputy of Shen Vice City when he was in charge of investment promotion, and now he has been corrected. In response to the words of the former leader, he said casually: "Mayor Shen, Chairman Chen is one of the best gourmets in our province, where is there good food, whether it is a small country shop or a five-star restaurant, he has almost been there, hey, Lao Chen, what is going on here? The pair of Jian Huaiyu who are entertained today have seen the world."

Hospitality is an indispensable discipline in officialdom, and Xu Ju also understood the meaning of Shen's dialect. Just to confirm. It seems that there are still some doubts about what flowers and dishes will be served in this winter, after all, it is two American gods of wealth who are going to be entertained, and they can't be lazy.

"Look there,"

Chairman Chen didn't say anything, and pointed not far away. The eyes of the two of them followed the direction pointed by Chairman Chen. With a slight surprise, it was not far along both sides of the road. In the season of depression around the trees, a large number of purple and red flowers stretch in the transparent greenhouse, and the visual impact of the colorful colors in this season is still quite large.

"This is the flower garden of Guiyuan, which began to open five years ago, mainly for the Dayuan Huajing market, but in our north to send flowers. Fashion is not so popular, in the summer, these flowers and plants are worthless, and in this season, they are too valuable. The general cost of sales remains high, the scale has not been up, three years ago Guiyuan Hotel began to bloom food and drink, at the beginning of the business was also average, it didn't take long to know where Guiyuan dug a flower master, the Dayuan Catering Association a group of gourmets invited to set up ten tables of group feasts, all of a sudden reputation, after the flowers can not be sold, almost all of them are booked by the resort hotels, this business, is "a trick fresh, eat all over the world" led by Guiyuan has made money in recent years" Hehe, Vice Mayor Shen, if it weren't for your identity, if you want to eat a table here, you have to make a reservation two or three days in advance

Chairman Chen had a smile on his face, thick lips clicked, both introduction and compliment, did not go deeper, but this introduction was enough to reassure the deputy mayor, Director Xu and Chairman Chen, who were sitting on the side, had a good personal relationship, and after getting along for a long time, they were also contaminated with a bit of a gourmet's temperament, and asked with a smile: "Chairman Chen, what kind of cuisine does this flower belong to?"

"It doesn't belong to any cuisine, but it also has it, although it is unique, it can be limited by geography and climate, and it can't stand on its own. Let's put it this way, the flower cuisine is the spring and white snow in the cooking, a bit of the meaning of high and low, the audience so there are not many masters who specialize in this, "For example, our old store Luo Jia Sauce Shop before the liberation of Dayuan It is said that the predecessor Luo Yu Chef is the master of flower cuisine, there is a dish called Jinlan bacon, smoked bacon, sauce meat, you put it for half a year and still have the taste of flowers. At that time, it was exclusively for the mansion of Dayuan dignitaries, and Yan Laoxi, the emperor of our province, liked this dish very much, and Chairman Chen said that it was like a few treasures, and Director Xu asked: "Can Master Guiyuan make this dish?"

"Of course, I did," Chairman Chen nodded triumphantly.

"How is the Biluojia Sauce Factory?" Director Xu asked again.

"What's the comparison, I haven't eaten the Luo family's ...... Chairman Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, the Luo family disappeared in the sixties. It's a pity, if it is opened until now, it can also become a well-known brand in the province Director Xu said with business acumen.

"Do you remember the pot of stew on the side of the road in Oolong County?

"It tastes good. Especially wild boar

"Woe to China, 5,000 years of food culture is broad and profound, that small shop has left a deep impression on me. A pot of old soup makes people feel so mellow that there is no edge of the sword, even if it is a large piece of radish and potato, the cheapest cabbage vermicelli is boiled with relish. And Guiyuan is here, and it is ever-changing. It is extremely kitsch, and can wave the color, flavor, shape and meaning of the ingredients to the extreme, whether it is simple to the extreme, or exquisite to the extreme. It's all a kind of beauty

Chairman Chen spoke eloquently. Unconsciously entered the realm of advanced comprehension, and the car stopped to save the place, and the words were not over, Shen Vice City, who had already heard impatience in front of him, got out of the car first, and ended with a smile: "Lao Chen, today is all up to your lip service." No wonder others call you, the chairman of the Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, the chairman of the Federation of Gluttonous Spirits

As soon as he said that Chairman Chen, the nickname of the chairman of the "Gluttonous Union", they all laughed, and the three people stood in front of the car and waited, the third brother of the car stopped in the middle of the parking lot, and a Mercedes-Benz in the middle got out of today's protagonist. Jian Huaiyu, chairman of Jiahua Precision Mould Co., Ltd., which was put into production in the industrial park, is a Chinese over forty years old in a suit, with a large face plate, and a height of 1.8 meters. It also looks much younger than his actual age, and his figure looks very strong, not at all like the kind of small tyrant with a bulging belly in China. And the age of the wife who got off the car looked at the couple You dare to guess that the wife is in her early thirties, if you want to look at people, dare to guess twenty-seven or eight, it is good, I saw that this lady has a white face, a beige shawl is particularly dazzling, and the water-green wool skirt is very tall, and if you look carefully at the color of the eyes, it is not pure black, and the head is a natural curl

In fact, Jane Huaiyu was born in Taiwan and educated in the United States, and now this mixed-race lady is purely a third-generation banana person. Born and raised in the United States of America, even the yellow characteristics of his body have changed a lot. When the husband who got out of the car was chatting with the local leader, two people who seemed to be hotel managers came out of the hall, and the lady was a little bored and waved her hands and shouted softly: Jing, said, "

The third car is a father and daughter of the company's legal counsel Jing Ruiyuan, the legal counsel specially invited by Mr. and Mrs. Jian Huaiyu, Mr. Jian Huaiyu and his wife returned, the company's affairs were entangled, and the two male translators were inconvenient to accompany this beautiful lady, and Jing Ruiyuan, who had been serving as a legal adviser and private lawyer for Jiahua, brought his daughter to make up for it, and the two got along well for a few days.

That's right, it was Jing Wenxiu, half out of helping his father's business, and half out of a good impression of this Chinese-American, who stepped forward and asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong?"

"Look," Mrs. Jane pointed to the direction where her husband was standing, and the leaders of the city and the hotel were one by one, and I am afraid that it would take a long time to introduce and shake hands. I heard Mrs. Jian say a little puzzled: "Why are Chinese so troublesome to eat a meal?"

This Mrs. Jane's surname is Run, her name is Jiawen, and she also maintains the habit of speaking English, with only two tones, one up and one down, which sounds particularly awkward. Jing Wenxiu smiled and explained softly: "Leap, the Chinese are not troublesome. Only the leaders of China are so troublesome, they are polite. ”

"You're welcome!?Is this a compliment or a derogatory?"

"Of course?"

"Is it? For example, if you are polite to me, this is a compliment, and if I say very seriously to someone I don't like, I am not polite to you, this is a derogatory meaning, a threat, right?" asked Mrs. Yan strangely, maintaining American humor and questioning.

"Hehe" Yes, that's right" Jing Wenxiu was amused and praised Mrs. Yan.

Even Jing Wenxiu's unexplained customs made Mrs. Yan even more puzzled: "Hey, Na Helie, Hu Mao, Mao Mao, Pirui Zhilei, annoying, sloppy, sloppy, inferior Ding crocodile called, listen to Jing Yanhui, call."

"Called. It's too hard to understand. ”

"They need to be polite to us. Don't be angry."

Jing Wenxiu laughed and teased, in order to satisfy Mrs. Yan's desire to learn Chinese by surprise, she could only carry out this half-English and half-Chinese dialogue, pulling this Mrs. Jian to come forward, politely adding cold and noisy Mrs. Jian simply pretended not to understand a word of Chinese, hastily ended this welcoming ceremony, and the group went straight into the hall.

There are three solemn Han Li's books in the hall: Flower Cuisine Building.

Private rooms, screens, landscape paintings, these leaders in the city only feel that the environment here is quite ancient, and they are full of praise, and Chairman Chen eats veterans. I have already introduced the origin of Guiyuan, and it was still a place in the early nineties. The small village that looks unimpressive, after the hot spring is now, the city government has built a dry rest place here to facilitate the leadership of the recuperation, and the prefecture-level city of Qingxu is also attracted to open business through the method of attracting investment, and it has taken more than ten years to have now seventeen three-star and four-star hotels settled here. The scale of a resort has been formed, all of which are from the investment promotion office, and the topics discussed are almost all about the pull of the local economy after attracting investment, what is the annual benefit, what is the future prospect and so on.

Of course, Lawyer Jing was not very interested in sitting with him. The two women on the side were even less interested, but the four sweet and four fresh ones that were served first made Mrs. Yan surprised, dried grapes, sugar crispy walnuts, pickled apricots, dried hanging gardens plus apples, sweet oranges, and small sugar pears of Shashan pomelo, and the delicate small plate of eight dishes was placed on the table of the eight immortals, which was regarded as an appetizing snack. After a few shallow bites and a rattling bite, the lady emphasized a few words in a strong rising tone, which is very delicious and delicious than calling it "old" with her husband

Vice Mayor Shen secretly felt that Lao Chen had come to the right place. At least it should be good to coax these half-foreigners who have seen the big world but have not seen the small world, these years their mouths are messy, what sea cucumbers, abalone and lobsters have become common. The grade has dropped to the level of hospitality of grassroots cadres at the county and township level, and the new and exotic and original food is becoming more and more popular. Looks like this place should be good.

And it seems that Guiyuan's preparation is also quite sufficient, sit and chat a few words, four or five dishes are on the table, the waiter reported that this is peony loin, this is chrysanthemum fried whale ball, this is lotus duck, this is night fragrant chicken, this is Celihua fried shrimp, in the middle of a yellow and tender look is a cute little cake is a wooden horizontal flower pancake.

I only felt refreshed when I sat down, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers penetrated into everyone's nostrils as the dishes were served. The yellow and bright loin silk is surrounded by a circle of petals that seem to have morning dew, and the whale balls stained with thick juice are so tender that they almost blow up. A plate of fried shrimp with golden yellow and reddish color sprinkled with a newly picked Rong box that seems to be picked by the net, but also with that refreshing and refreshing fragrance, Mrs. Run's eyes are a little rounder than pancakes, and the pancakes, the size of a baby's small hand, are filled with a faint heat, and they can't distinguish the taste for a while, Mrs. Yan can't help but take a closer look, the pancakes are surrounded by spiral regular patterns, which must be intentionally made. Put it in front of the nose to help taste the smell. The slight oil fragrance and the unique floral fragrance of the horizontal went straight into the chest and lungs, and he couldn't help but Cheng Dao's small lips and teeth biting, with a strange light in his blue eyes, he swallowed the remaining half of the piece while nodding, and others didn't understand Jing Wenxiu understood, it was a concave!

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience, and Chairman Chen's interest also came, and he nodded to the lotus duck and prompted: "Mrs. Jane taste this" The more inconspicuous it is, the more connotative it is. ”

Jing Wenxiu whispered, and Mrs. Yan was surprised and didn't believe it, and then said as she said. I took a piece of duck, took a spoonful of soup and put it in the bowl, and after tasting it, the lotus fragrance in the meat and soup was left between the teeth and cheeks, fragrant but not greasy, and I didn't care about talking.

The food has the fragrance of flowers and the taste of flowers, and even Vice Mayor Shen, who is not too lazy about food, feels that his appetite is great. When you socialize in the city, you drink, and when you hear about the restaurant, you feel weak, and you are still a little worried. Now I put it upside down and eat happily.

Seeing that his wife was eating happily, Mr. Jian naturally smiled heartily, revealing his gratitude to these leaders in the city. Director Xu, a half-pulled gourmet, tasted them one by one and was amazed. I thought that flower food was just eating flowers. But he didn't expect to make the flowers out of so many rare flavors, and asked Chairman Chen with duck pieces: "Lao Chen, how is this done, there is a lotus fragrance in the meat soup." ”

I've never heard of "shouting", but it's the same as frying, frying, steaming, and stir-frying. This ancient method can only be made by the master of the family to make the ingredients in a pot or pot, preferably in a crockpot, with spices and seasonings and other ingredients to cook, this dish is used lotus material, and after the raw duck is cooked, the fragrance will penetrate the meat into the soup. Formula, heat, amount of material, wrong one is indispensable. Chairman Chen tasted it and introduced, and he was the only one left at the table who was not too surprised. people.

"Yes, it's like that. Mayor Shen Yu saw that the Jane couple was satisfied, and naturally he was satisfied. A casual compliment.

Mr. Jian didn't seem to be well versed in this delicacy, but only thought it was delicious, and asked with a smile if it was a concept of flower food and medicinal food. This kung fu Chairman Chen can be tricked. talked about the beauty benefits of flowers. Chrysanthemum clears the liver and eyes, osmanthus dissolves phlegm, stops bleeding and dispels guilt, plum blossom regulates qi and stomach, peony clears heat and invigorates blood, plus a lotus flower to calm and lose weight. Not only diet therapy, but also vitamins and a variety of minerals required by the human body, iron, Zhong, Qin, etc., to put it bluntly, Jing Wenxiu's English level can't be translated, and he is thinking about that word instead. After all, the lady understood, and she was even more surprised and admired.

The group said, Jing Yu Shi was not willing to be lonely, he was already familiar with Chairman Chen, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly said that the flower dishes could be traced back to the record of "Lu's Spring and Autumn". Yi Yin, the minister of the Shang Dynasty, made good use of the "Shoumu Zhihua", that is, the tree flower cooking; the pre-Qin Dynasty's "Shennong's Materia Medica" listed chrysanthemum as the top grade, and believed that the service was light and resistant to aging, and in the Song Dynasty, the "Shanjia Qing Offering" proposed more than a dozen kinds of flowers such as plum blossoms, peonies, pine flowers, mast flowers, and osmanthus flowers to be included in the list of edible flowers. In the later "Golden Vase Plum Words", there are more than a dozen kinds of dim sum with roses as the main ingredient, and these people are talking about the evolution of the flower cuisine, and Mrs. Run, who was happily eating, suddenly interjected: "Oh" Mr. Jing. I know what you say. ”

"Have you read these classics?" Jing Ruiyuan was talking about the rise, and when he heard that this half-ocean lady, who was more beautiful than his daughter, understood some allusions. I was happy, too.

Unexpectedly, this beautiful fake foreign girl who had beaten Jin Lian exploded: "I have seen the "Golden Bottle Plum" you just said..."

The audience was stunned and choked, and looked at Mr. Jian who didn't mind, and suddenly laughed. This Mr. Jane is also temperamental, and he doesn't mind this lady who is more than ten years younger than him having such a foreign appearance. As soon as I explained, I learned that the previous generation had a lot of books in their collections, and the previous generation had always wanted to return to their roots and did not give up Chinese education for their children and grandchildren. And this lady entered the Tao late, and she has dabbled in a lot of messy Han books. I didn't understand it all by half.

This generosity can be let go. For example, a dish of Henglan bacon, the meat is chewed into the mouth and you feel that it smells a strong Henglan fragrance; for example, there is a dish of osmanthus fish, and there is a strong fragrance of osmanthus in your mouth after tasting it; as for the petal wine that came up later, the color of different petals is different, and the leaders of this hotel are afraid that they have the idea of stammering Shen Vice City, so they directly served four small plates of 27 different cups of wine, the color of red, orange, yellow, blue and purple from dark to light, it is said that you need to soak three to five in a cool place。 months to drink. Chairman Chen praised this as "Wan Yan in the same cup", and the somewhat lustful Director Xu privately looked at the leap girl and Jing Guoniu sitting opposite, and asked quietly: "Hey, old Chen, let's have a flower dish with flower wine, and we have earned it." ”

Eating is also divided into realms. Large pieces of food are eaten, shallow and slow swallowing are eaten, cherished and shameful spots are eaten, and country stir-fry is also eaten. According to the hotel manager, in order to preserve the unique fragrance of summer petals, Guiyuan Hotel also invested more than 800,000 yuan on a set of freeze-drying equipment, in order to preserve the color and fragrance of flowers.

The last soup was served, and the waiter who was comparable to the flower smiled and reported it, which made everyone stunned. Follow the name of the soup that shines in front of you: Beauty Soup!

"Oh

Mrs. Nao's eyes lit up, and it was beautiful to see the rose petals floating in the soup, but at this time, she couldn't smell the fragrance of flowers, and she didn't know what surprises there were in it. The husband was stunned and didn't know how to explain it. Looking at Jing Wenxiu. Jing Wenxiu gave a nondescript explanation for a long time: "The island is,

Turtle. ”

It means soup for beautiful women. As soon as she explained, the foreign girl smiled, and the table looked at the lady. This explanation made the half-ocean girl who regarded appreciation as an achievement happy, gently took a few spoonfuls, and put the petals to her mouth, felt it, and leaned Jingwenxiu softly and asked, "How is it?

"It's delicious," I can't say. Yan Jiawen looked enjoyable, and quietly leaned into Jing Wenxiu's ear and asked, "Is it possible to "spit out"

%, ten thousand

Jing Wenxiu suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, shook her head and said that she didn't know, look at this beautiful and somewhat bewitching Mrs. Jane, that place is big enough. I'm still thinking about it. It's a bit strange to criticize Jiufeng. The elegant rake is not so rich, the floral fragrance is forced to the aftertaste, the entrance is like chicken soup, very smooth and moist; the taste is a bit similar to the mountain mushroom, very thick and mellow; the throat suddenly refreshed, like a warm feeling along the chest and lungs to the whole body, and after drinking the taste buds still have a bitter, fragrant, moist rose taste. It's weird that I can't tell what it feels like, I just know it's comfortable, but I don't know where it comes from. Not only was Mrs. Yan surprised, but this Boss Jian and Vice City Shen were a little strange and asked Chairman Chen.

"Heh... This is the highest level of flower cuisine..."

Chairman Chen put down the spoon and wiped his lips. Half-closed eyes like enjoyment: "What really integrates flower food into cultural connotation and aesthetic interest is that we advocate simple, indifferent, and honest literati and ink writers in ancient times, elegant, fragrant, and light flower dishes, and the process of purifying the five intestines, bathing in the snow, and picking flowers, eating flowers, and boiling flowers, is a unique aesthetic practice process for the ancients, such as one of the four sons of the late Ming Dynasty, and Dong Xiaowan not only have an unforgettable love from falling in love to staying together, but also dissolving the artistic spirit into life, brewing flower dew and clearing petals. Flowers, wild vegetables, dogs, artemisia, chrysanthemums, etc. All of them are food, and they are full of food.

This is to say that the art of self-cultivation and moral cultivation of life, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became a common practice to raise flowers and eat flowers, and the main reason at that time was the darkness of the times and the absurdity of the world, so that these literati and writers went from the turbid reality to the landscape and pastoral, and sought solace for the soul in the martyrdom and colorful nature. At the same time, these are the self-consciousness of the literati and the promotion of the free spirit, and they regard flower food as a childish pleasure in the art of life as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, tea and drinking.

It's just that Chairman Chen's explanation is like a flower delicacy, and the lady asks in a very strange tone: "What do you mean?"

Don't talk about half-foreigners, just the few people around me didn't understand a word. are shaking their heads, Jing Wenxiu didn't have time to translate Ze at all, in fact, this translation is very difficult, I'm afraid that I have to carry a dictionary after passing the eighth level of English. Everyone looked at Chairman Chen's meeting weakly, and Chairman Chen smiled with relief:

"Eating itself is a buckle culture, such as your KFC and hamburgers in the United States, which reflect an efficient, nutritious fast food culture. And there are many genres of food culture in China", let's put it this way, and treat it as a soup. This is the taste of more than a dozen edible medicinal materials such as chicken soup, mushrooms, ginseng, and dog berries, which are designed to invigorate blood and regulate qi. Everyone has eaten the restaurant knows, after the oil is heavy and delicious, after eating is dry and even on fire, here will not, tomorrow everyone will get up must be refreshed, there is no discomfort at all; The richness of ginseng, the aftertaste retains a slightly bitter and sweet floral fragrance, coupled with the eye-catching beauty of the soup and roses, the faint bitterness left after the sweet and fragrant fragrance is refreshing, just like the kind of loss and aftertaste that the beauty is looking forward to. ”

With those who understand and don't understand, they all smiled, just as a joy in the banquet, Jing Wenxiu simply explained the rumbling, and Mrs. Yan was so happy that she clapped her little hands and praised people directly.

Chairman Chen walked to the waiter standing on the side and asked: "Waiter, you flower master here, I guess he is between forty and fifty years old, and his craft is a family heirloom, and I boldly guess that he has been divorced, he must be a person with stories and experiences, otherwise his skills will not reach this level." Isn't that right?"

Knowing that Chairman Chen was trying to judge his character with dishes, the waiter smiled and did not answer, but Director Xu knew that this old man Chen had eaten a fine meal, and when he looked back, he explained that Chairman Chen could often see a little bit from cooking, and everyone urged to verify, and this Leap Lady ate comfortably, and proposed to meet this tricky flower master, and I expected to almost agree with Chairman Chen's statement, it should be a lewd old man with a mastery and a high kitchen hat. Everyone guessed at once, and then asked the small waiter, the waiter couldn't hold back for a long time, and was happy. Solved the puzzle:

"Uncle, you guessed wrong. Our Hua master is less than thirty, and he generally doesn't see outsiders. However, "if you are a single beauty, you can make an exception"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, watching the waiter staring at Mrs. Yan and Jing Wenxiu, as if judging whether this was enough to see the flower master. When I think of this, I think that it is ridiculously wrong. The five and a half old men present laughed all at once."
