Chapter 51: Bao Gong Fish, Cao Cao Chicken (II)
While the two were talking, the 'Bao Gong Fish' was actually ready, and the waiter pushed a small cart and put the 'Bao Gong Fish' and a few plates of peanut braised pork and other side dishes on the table.
In fact, this dish is the traditional cold dish of Hefei, this dish is sorted out through the research and restoration of Baofu's family dishes, it is the witness of Bao Zheng for the official honesty and honesty, and the life is simple, this dish takes Baohe small crucian carp, Baohe lotus root, green onion segment, ginger slices, soy sauce, rock sugar, vinegar, Shao wine, sesame oil, etc. as raw materials, seal and tie tightly with lotus leaves, after covering the pot and boiling dry with a strong fire, change to simmer over low heat for about 5 hours, cool the pot thoroughly, cover the large plate, and pour sesame oil on it. Bao Gong Fish is also the signature dish of this restaurant, and many customers must order this dish when they come, so even if it is made in advance every day, there is never a leftover.
The lotus root in the Baohe River side dish is also different, all broken and without silk, which is said to be a symbol of Bao Gong's "iron-faced selflessness".
When I went out early in the morning, I had to deal with eating some steamed buns and fritters or something, Zhuang Rui was already hungry, and he didn't drink anyway, so he went straight down to eat with chopsticks, and put a crucian carp in his mouth, and a delicious taste suddenly passed through Zhuang Rui's taste buds to the brain, and the fish that had been simmered for more than five hours had already been burned to the bone, and it melted in the mouth, with a faint aroma of clear lotus.
"Good!"
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but praise, the chopsticks in his hand did not stop, and then he put another one in his mouth, and Liu Chuan on the side originally wanted to listen to Zhuang Rui praise a few more words, but he didn't expect to blink an eye, and half of the plate of 'Baogong Fish' was left, Liu Chuan hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks and grabbed Zhuang Rui.
The second dish is 'Li Hongzhang's hodgepodge', after the dish is served on the table, it looks ruddy and oily, and the smell of the aroma is fragrant, which makes the two of them move their index fingers, at this time, 'Bao Gong Fish' has already been eaten by the two, Liu Chuan just got a lesson, this time as soon as the dish was served, he ate it violently, Zhuang Rui wanted to let this guy continue to explain, as soon as he saw Liu Chuan's action, he knew that ** was very cunning and not fooled.
After grabbing the last slice of shiitake mushrooms and putting it in his mouth, Liu Chuan lowered his mouth, looked at Zhuang Rui proudly, and said, "Dude, let's tell you about this dish now, damn, you said that the teacher who will teach history when we go to school, if you invite us to eat once a day, can I fail the history exam?" ”
Zhuang Rui: "......"
According to legend, Li Hongzhang went to Russia to attend the coronation ceremony of Nicholas II, and when he visited Europe and the United States, he ate Western food three times a day, which was very unaccustomed.
After this "one pot of cooking" comes out, the food is delicious and delicious, it can be used for wine, and it can be eaten at the same time, and it will not delay the official visit because of the cumbersome frying, cooking, and frying, Li Hongzhang simply eats this every day, sometimes banquets foreigners, when asked about the name of the dish after eating, Li Hongzhang casually says that it is a "hodgepodge", since then many people in Europe and the United States know that there is a famous dish called "hodgepodge" in China.
After Li Hongzhang returned to China, he still asked his family to make this dish often, and more often treat guests with this, after that, "hodgepodge" swept the country, and "Li Hongzhang's hodgepodge" has become the reserved variety of Hefei's famous dishes.
The last main dish is naturally "Cao Cao chicken", "Cao Cao chicken" this dish, is based on local high-quality chickens as the main ingredient, and with Anhui produced Gujing tribute wine and gastrodia, eucommia, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, pepper, big material, cinnamon, fennel, green onion ginger and other 18 kinds of appetizing fitness accessories, nutritious and has the function of food therapy and fitness, Zhuang Rui after eating, immediately feel warm in the stomach, very comfortable.
"Hooligans, I'm a little envious of you now, not to mention anything else, the food in the north and south of this great river is really worthy of its reputation. ”
Zhuang Rui patted his belly that was a little too much, looked at Liu Chuan and said, this is what he said in his heart, only in Hefei, you can eat so delicious, not to mention the size of China, Shandong, Guangdong, Sichuan, Suzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hui The eight major cuisines have their own strengths, and only people like Liu Chuan who run around all day long can eat these original local specialties, although in some big cities, there are restaurants of various cuisines, but it tastes different after all.
Just like the roast duck in Beijing Quanjude, branches have been opened all over the country, but after people go to Beijing, they still love to eat in the old store in Beijing, for no other reason, that is, to eat the original taste.
"Okay wood, don't laugh at me, you watch me drive around every day, it's very comfortable, but how do you know the hard work of going out, just like the last time I drove to Kunming in the four major police dog bases in China to buy puppies, the car broke down on the mountain road, and the mobile phone has no signal, that is really called the sky should not be called the earth, a whole day and a night without food or drink. ”
Liu Chuan is still a little embarrassed when he talks about the past, that time he drove a small road in order to take a shortcut, but after the car broke down, there was no passing car, and the barren mountains and mountains listened to the wolf howl all night, but he was not scared lightly, and this time he went to Tibet to call Zhuang Rui, and he was also bold.
When Zhuang Rui heard this, he understood why Liu Chuan was in the Humvee car, why he had loaded so much food, and he dared to love this brother's psychological trauma.
The amount of Cao Cao's chicken is quite sufficient, after the two of them finished eating, they couldn't eat the snacks on the back anymore, so they simply asked the waiter to pack and take them to the road to eat, and as soon as they checked out, this meal only cost more than 100 yuan, Zhuang Rui had the heart to take away these dishes and a few more bags.
"Waiter, there is still a big box upstairs, let's Boss Zhao have a treat today, hurry up and pack up a private room and come out." ”
After Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan settled the bill, they just walked to the staircase on the second floor, and seven or eight people came to meet them, it seemed that they should be regular customers, and the waiter was greeting with a smile.
"Boss Zhao, you picked up a big leak this time, you didn't make a hundred and eighty thousand yuan from this transfer, don't forget a few brothers when you make a fortune." The man who called the waiter just now said to a middle-aged fat man who was surrounded by everyone.
"Pick up the leak?"
These words came word for word into the ears of Zhuang Rui, who passed by them, and immediately attracted his attention, since the aura appeared in his eyes, he paid more attention to the antique industry.
After walking out of the hotel, Zhuang Rui said to Liu Chuan: "Hooligans, did you hear what those people said just now? It seems that I am not the only one who is lucky, there are many people." ”
"Of course, don't you look at what kind of place this is, that is Sihui Building, all the antique dealers in Anhui are concentrated here, and there will be people who make a fortune every day, and it is normal here. ”
Liu Chuan pointed to a five-story pagoda not far away that was dozens of meters high, and replied disapprovingly.
