Chapter 3 The Dishes of Beautiful Foodies

Guan Linlin turned her head to Cheng Yu and said, "Little fish, the two of us must eat this lunch together." ”

Cheng Yu said, "I don't want to eat at all, you better send me home, I want to be alone." β€œ

"No, I know you're uncomfortable, and I'm going to carry it with you when I encounter this kind of thing. Linlin grabbed Cheng Yu's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Then your cousin won't have a problem with you?"

"No, no, my cousin is kind to me, we are like sisters. β€œ

"Okay, it's half past eleven, let's go eat early, and you can go home, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I'm sure that as long as you have a full meal and a delicious meal, your mood will be better in no time. ”

"Oh! Linlin, you are really a foodie, you can relieve a thousand sorrows when you eat. Cheng Yu felt that his tense face slowly relaxed, having Linlin by his side was indeed different from fighting alone.

"What do you want to eat?Chinese food?Western food?" Linlin's voice was obviously a little excited.

"Let's eat Chinese food. Cheng Yu felt that Chinese food was the most suitable for his appetite.

"Let's go, work at the Peninsula Restaurant!" Linlin stepped on the accelerator, and the small sports car roared out.

Peninsula Restaurant is a century-old restaurant in Yingzhou City, and Yingzhou is known as one of the birthplaces of Shandong cuisine, and Peninsula Restaurant is naturally one of the flagship stores of Shandong cuisine.

The faΓ§ade of the Peninsula Restaurant is not very large, but this antique plaque makes people feel very historical.

The greeter greeted the two to a small table, handed over a menu, and asked them to order.

"Stir-fried leeks with sea intestines, stir-fried swan eggs, clams in original sauce. Linlin looked at Cheng Yu proudly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uh-huh, yes, yes, it's all my favorite food. Looking at the menu, Cheng Yu really felt a little hungry.

"Another home-cooked stewed yellow croaker," Linlin was very happy to be encouraged.

Guan Linlin does know how to order. Let's just say this plate of fried sea sausage with leeks, it really has a lot of origins. It is a low-level tubular animal that lives on muddy beaches or coral reefs in the intertidal zone of the sea, mainly along the coast of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The sea intestines squirmed softly, and there were no burrs on their bodies. Lao Yingzhou fishermen all know that the sea intestine has a purification function for the sea area at the same time, the sea environment requirements are also extremely high, the beach is flat, the water is shallow, and the shallow water area with sand and mud is half, the upper layer has fine yellow sand is the best, and the lower layer is the best black soil. The sea area where there is sea intestine life also indicates that the sea area environment is excellent. Therefore, there are very few areas along the Bohai coast, and Yingzhou is the main production area of sea intestines. As early as the Ming Dynasty more than 600 years ago, fishermen living in Yingzhou had fried leeks with sea intestines among the seafood they had to eat during the Spring Festival. The older generation of Yingzhou people have a saying auspicious saying: there is surplus wealth for a long time. "Long" refers to sea intestines, and "long" refers to leeks. At the same time, the sea intestine has a certain connection with immortality. According to the "Historical Records", after Qin Shi Huang unified China, he toured the east three times. The first time, in 219 BC, Qin Shi Huang traveled eastward along the Bohai Bay, inspecting the eastern maritime frontier in search of the elixir of immortality.

Legend has it that during the first emperor's second tour of the east, it was early spring, and after a night of wind and waves, a large area of pale red mollusk was left on the beach, as long as the middle finger, and people used it as bait. The local people use it with spring knife leeks to entertain nobles, and the baked flour with the internal organs removed and dried is even more delicious. It is said that Qin Shi Huang praised it after tasting it, calling it the freshest in the world.

Over time, the mollusk became known as sea intestines, which were more akin to MSG than MSG, and local chefs used it as a cooking secret until MSG became widespread and became widely available.

The first dish came up, and sure enough, it was fried sea sausage with leeks, and the delicious taste immediately attracted the attention of the two. "Hands-on, hands-on" the two almost said in unison.

"Delicious, isn't it?" asked Linlin as she ate.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such a good dish. Cheng Yu swallowed it in a big gulp, as if he wanted to swallow all the unhappiness.

"Come on, stir-fried swan eggs!" The waiter served another dish.

However, this plate of scrambled swan eggs is not an egg laid by a swan flying in the sky. In fact, the "swan egg" mentioned in Yingzhou seafood is a kind of shellfish, and its scientific name is Zishifang clam. The reason why this shellfish is called "swan egg" in the folk is mainly because it is larger than ordinary clams and shellfish, and the shape is close to an oval, and the appearance is very similar to the egg of a swan. Eating "swan eggs" is mainly to eat the meat in the shell, which is usually fried and eaten. This is also a special dish in Yingzhou City.

Then the waiter served a home-cooked stewed yellow croaker. Finally, there is a large bowl of raw clams. This original juice clam is also a very distinctive Lu dish. There are many clams along the coast, but why the word "fly" is added in front of it naturally makes sense. Animals fly in the sky, walk on the ground, and swim in the water, so why a flying word is added in front of the clam in the water, it is because this kind of clam can fly in the water. In the middle of summer, Yingzhou people go to bathe in the sea almost every day. Clams are often stepped on under your feet, but this guy is very agile, and sometimes when you feel stepped on your feet, this guy will "swish" and fly away from under your feet when you bend down and look down to catch. There are not many ways to make clams, but a limited number of them are quite distinctive. The most famous is the raw clams. After rinsing the clams, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot and place the clams in the pot so that the shells of the clams are tightly closed. After boiling, the clam shell opens. At this time, while gently turning the clams, pick out the open clams and put them into the soup pot. Then pour the clam soup in the pot into a pot full of clams, sprinkle a pinch of coriander, drop a few drops of sesame oil, and a pot of delicious original juice clams is done. Although the recipe for raw clams is simple, the taste should not be underestimated. The clam meat is crispy and tender, and the clam soup soup is fresh and refreshing, which is a delicacy that cannot be adjusted by any condiment. Many first-time diners are addicted to this delicacy.

For Cheng Yu, he grew up eating clams. If you don't eat a meal of clams for ten days and half a month, Cheng Yu will feel that something is missing from life. In the past few years of studying in the south, although the clams in the south are not as delicious as Yingzhou, Cheng Yu must eat them several times a week. It's better than nothing. Today, I ate the clam meat from my hometown again, drank the fresh soup of the clams, and felt that every pore on my body was stretched.

After eating a big meal, Cheng Yu felt much more comfortable. He waved to the waiter and said pay. The waiter came running over and said, "Sir, you have already bought the order for this table." Cheng Yu saw Guan Linlin smile weirdly, and he knew. "Oh, you just took advantage of the bathroom to buy the order again?" Guan Linlin said with a smile: "Who is with whom, who buys it is different." "It's a shame for me. "Got it, got it, I'll definitely make you pay for it next time there's someone." Guan Linlin smiled and said, "I can't spend all the money my father gave me, so you let me spend some of it."

The two of them were talking and laughing as they packed up their things and left the hotel. Cheng Yu said: "I'll take a taxi back by myself, you hurry up and go home, my sister is still waiting at home." Guan Linlin said: "I'll send you back first, no problem." ”

The two got into the red sports car, talked a few words and went downstairs to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu and Guan Linlin kissed goodbye, and then watched the sports car leave their sight.

Guan Linlin drove all the way east to a wealthy area, and on the mountainside facing the sea, there were several rows of villas, and Guan Linlin's home was in one of them.

Walking into the courtyard of the villa, Guan Linlin heard her father's loud voice showing off: "Lili, you have to persuade your cousin to break up with that poor boy quickly, what will happen if you follow that poor boy!"

"Why is it so useless? Dad, weren't you also a poor boy back then? Why do you look down on poor boys now?" Guan Linlin pushed open the door and yelled at her father.

Dad spread his hands helplessly and said to Xu Lili, "Look at you, what kind of system has this become?"

Xu Lili walked over, took Guan Linlin's hand and said, "Oh, little sister, you are a love supremacist!

"Sister, don't make fun of me. Guan Linlin took advantage of the situation to throw herself into Xu Lili's arms, and the sisters came to a big hug.

"Little sister, people are heavy and light friends, you don't even want your sister anymore, your sister is waiting for you to eat at home, which handsome guy are you going to accompany to dinner?" Xu Lili said angrily.

"You dead girl, where are you crazy? Your sister has been waiting for you at home for a noon, you have such a big face, if it weren't for waiting for you, how could your sister be willing to serve our family's rice?"

"Oh, uncle, you can't say that, I don't eat much from your family!" Xu Lili hurriedly said: "My uncle-in-law has given me so much help, how can I forget?"

Indeed, after Xu Lili's parents divorced, Xu Lili's mother took Xu Lili to school alone, and the family was relatively difficult, and Guan Fusheng often helped their mother and daughter. Later, Xu Lili graduated from university and was selected to be transferred to the municipal government, and in recent years, she has risen to the top of the city's financial office in her early 30s. It can be said that the little girl of the year became a golden phoenix.

Guan Fusheng was secretly proud, his investment back then was worth it, and now it is the season to collect returns. Guan Linlin's work has not been implemented, although Guan Fusheng has entrusted many people and found a lot of relationships, he still did not find a suitable job for Guan Linlin. In the end, he thought of his niece daughter Xu Lili, but he didn't expect Xu Lili to agree, and in less than a week, he replied, saying that he was working in the financial department of the municipal hospital, which is really great news!

When Xu Lili told Guan Fusheng this important news, Guan Fusheng couldn't believe his ears, you must know that arranging such a job is not something that ordinary people can do, and it is said that it must be done by municipal leaders. And Xu Lili is just a small section chief, and he actually got this thing done, which made Guan Fusheng have to look at Xu Lili with admiration. Guan Fusheng secretly thought in his heart that there must be a particularly powerful person behind this Xu Lili. I'm going to catch this big fish through Xu Lili.

Xu Lili took Guan Linlin's hand and said, "Little sister, next Monday, you can go to work in the city hospital and work as an accountant in the finance department." ”

"Is this true?" Guan Linlin jumped up happily.

"Xiao Lin, when you get to the unit, you have to work hard and don't let down your cousin's heart. Guan Fusheng said earnestly, "Is a job like a municipal hospital something that ordinary people can enter? This kind of position is coveted by many people, and how hard your cousin can accomplish this for you! You must never forget your cousin in your life!"

Guan Linlin grabbed Xu Lili's arm: "My good sister, you are really amazing, why are you so capable?"

Xu Lili pinched Guan Linlin's little face and said, "What kind of ability do I have, I also entrust someone to do it, and now I have to find an acquaintance to do everything." Our Yingzhou City is a small city, we live in such a humane society, it doesn't matter, it's just hard to move an inch!"

Guan Fusheng said: "Yes, we do business like this, if there is no relationship, no resources, how can you do it? So, Xiao Lin, don't be willful anymore, hurry up and break up with that poor boy." ”
