Chapter 846: Private Dishes
"Early summer, shall we do this?"
Thinking of Wei Mingcheng's aggrieved look when he left, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "Why don't we call Brother Wei, he has had a hard time." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"What are you shouting at him for? A big 500-watt light bulb. Bai Chuxia wrinkled his nose and said: "He has a lot of fox friends in the capital, don't worry about him not being able to find a place to eat, maybe it's better than what we eat." ā
Although the national security has uniforms, but for the convenience of work, departments like Bai Chuxia's Social Investigation Bureau usually do not need to wear work clothes.
Professional clothes are generally close-fitting, different from the average tall girl with no curves, although Bai Chuxia is more than one meter seven tall, but he is curvy, wearing such a dress, it is really convex and backward, Fang Yi didn't pay attention to see the undulating place of the mountains, and he couldn't take his eyes off in his life.
Of course, Fang Yi is not bad today, the flight training uniform with a very prominent temperament fits him very well, and the two of them look very well matched when they stand together, if they are not in the old alleys and alleys of the capital, the return rate of the two of them is definitely 100%.
"What are you looking at me for?" didn't hear Fang Yi's response, Bai Chuxia looked sideways, and suddenly found that Fang Yi was staring at him, his pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and he gave Fang Yi a big white eye.
"Early summer, you are the prettiest girl I have ever seen. ā
To be honest, Fang Yi really doesn't know what to say, but it is such a straightforward language, but it is as sweet as honey in Bai Chuxia's heart, compared to Wu Zilin's flattery all day long, Bai Chuxia prefers to listen to Fang Yi say such words to her.
"Rhetoric ......"
When girls speak, they often don't have the right mouth, a straightforward girl like Bai Chuxia is also in love, the two whispered to each other, and after walking two or three hundred meters in the alley, they have already come to the door of a courtyard.
The door of this courtyard is not big, it has obviously been renovated, there are two red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, and there is a plaque in the middle of the door, which simply says "private dishes", if it is not for this plaque, I am afraid that even if you pass by here, Fang Yi will not find that there is a restaurant inside.
"This hotel is quite distinctive. Looking at the door of the courtyard, Fang Yi said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, dare to open a restaurant in such a hidden place, the master chef must have a unique skill." ā
"Actually, this is not a restaurant, it is just some home-cooked food cooked at home. ā
"I can see it, isn't it written on it for private dishes. Fang Yi nodded when he heard this, as the name suggests, since it is a private dish, it is eaten at home, Fang Yi doesn't know why they have such a name, and they are open to the public.
"Haven't you heard of private dishes?" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Bai Chuxia couldn't help laughing and said: "Private dishes have been available for a long time, but at that time, ordinary people couldn't eat them, by the way, the Tan family cuisine in the capital used to be private dishes. ā
"I haven't heard of Tan Jiacai either. ā
Fang Yi smiled bitterly, he has lived in the mountains for so many years, he can't pay attention to food and clothing at all, the best delicious delicacy is nothing more than catching a pheasant and making a flower chicken, after going down the mountain, he doesn't even know what the eight major cuisines are, where will he know what Bai Chuxia said about the Tan family cuisine.
"You're not in the capital, so it's not surprising that you haven't heard of Tan's cuisine. Thinking of Fang Yi's background, Bai Chuxia did not show surprise again, but told Fang Yi the origin of the private dishes.
Private cuisine originated from the delicacies in the courtyard of the deep house in ancient times, when the high-ranking officials and magnates "saved beautiful kitchens and competed to become a trend", comparing themselves with each other in the first meaning of life "eating" on the taste, so under the joint action of their "famous products" and their own famous chefs, a famous dish was produced.
Because these dishes are extremely characteristic of their own, they can't be seen in the restaurant outside, so they are called private dishes, and many famous dishes are passed down from private dishes, such as the Tan family cuisine mentioned by Bai Chuxia, which was the first dish in the house of the Tan family.
"This family's surname is Wang, and although his family's cuisine is not as famous as Tan's cuisine, the dishes are really delicious......"
Bai Chuxia stuck out his tongue and said: "The food is very delicious, but it is also very expensive, my two months' salary is only enough for one meal, Fang Yi, after eating this meal, I will not have my living expenses this month." ā
"How much is this meal?" Fang Yi was a little unpopular, he had never been paid, and he didn't know how much Bai Chuxia's salary was.
"Five thousand!" Bai Chuxia stuck out her tongue, if she didn't have some private money, she really couldn't afford to eat.
"It's so expensive, then how much do they have to make a month?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he knew that the average person's monthly salary was now one or two thousand, five thousand yuan for a meal, so wouldn't this restaurant have to make money?
"They only open one table a day, which can only be regarded as average compared to those big restaurants. "Bai Chuxia has been here a few times with the elders of the family, so he is very clear about the rules here.
"I made a hundred thousand yuan a month, which is not less. Thinking that when he first came down the mountain, the third brother couldn't add up to a few dozen yuan, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh a little, it had only been less than two years, and he had no concept of money.
"Let's go, it's too late to eat. Bai Chuxia pulled Fang Yi and walked towards the door, unlike other restaurants that opened their doors to do business, although this one had private dishes, the door was closed, Bai Chuxia stepped forward and knocked on the knocker in the middle.
"Hey, you two, do you have a reservation?" a young girl's voice rang out inside the door.
"Still want to make a reservation?"
Fang Yi looked at Bai Chuxia, although he is also a rich man now, he really doesn't know much about the lives of the rich, in Fang Yi's opinion, a meal of five thousand yuan a table, the business will definitely not be so good, I don't see that the doors are closed.
"Of course you have to make a reservation, and the reservation here has been scheduled for two months. Bai Chuxia pursed his lips and laughed.
"Ah, then how are we going to eat?" Fang Yi was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, there was one table a day, and the reservation time had been scheduled for two months, wouldn't they have come in vain today.
"Let's go to the back kitchen to eat!" Bai Chuxia grinned, raised his voice a little, and said, "Xiaojia, open the door, I'm your early summer sister." ā
"Huh, sister, why are you here?"
Hearing Bai Chuxia's voice, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old rushed towards Bai Chuxia, shouting: "Sister Chuxia, you said you were going to take me shopping, tomorrow weekend, let's go to Wangfujing, right?"
The girl was very delicate, with two pigtails, and looked very energetic, and stepped forward to hold Bai Chuxia's arm and shook it there.
"Tomorrow?" Bai Chuxia hesitated, she hadn't asked Fang Yi how long she was going to stay this time, if she couldn't stay for a few days, Bai Chuxia would be reluctant to spend a day with this girl.
"I could have stayed longer this time. Fang Yi saw Bai Chuxia's thoughts, and said with a smile: "And I can also go shopping with you." ā
"Sister Chuxia, who is he?" The girl found Fang Yi standing next to her, staring at Fang Yi up and down with a pair of eyes.
"My boyfriend, Fang Yi!" Bai Chuxia introduced generously.
"Wow, it's brother-in-law?!" The teenage child was always startled when he spoke, and when he looked at Fang Yi again this time, there was a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Well, my brother-in-law is very handsome, he is a soldier, right?" The girl knew the clothes on Fang Yi's body, and her eyes were full ......of little stars of admiration, "Is my brother-in-law the Air Force?"
"Of course, don't look at who your sister is......" Bai Chuxia obviously liked the girl in front of him, and joked with her with a smile, "But Fang Yi is not a soldier, who knows where he got this dress." ā
Bai Chuxia and Fang Yi had not met for half an hour, and she hadn't even figured out how Fang Yi and Wei Mingcheng got together, it stands to reason that her cousin had just been promoted to colonel, and he should still be in the army at this time.
"Xiao Jia, who is coming, standing at the door and talking endlessly? Don't make any noise, it's the guests who are coming, right?" At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the courtyard, because this courtyard has a shadow wall, so the courtyard is not visible at the door.
"Dad, it's not a guest, it's Sister Chuxia who is here, and she's bringing her boyfriend!" Xiao Jia let go of Bai Chuxia's arm and pulled Bai Chuxia inside.
"Hey, early summer, you're a rare guest. ā
A middle-aged man with an apron around his waist greeted him from the courtyard, his eyes glanced at Fang Yi, and said with a smile: "Did you come to my uncle's place to eat?" ā
"Uncle, bothering you with business, what about Auntie and Uncle?" Bai Chuxia said with some embarrassment.
"It's all a family, what's the trouble not to bother, you girl too, your dad doesn't come, you won't come, your aunt is watching the heat of a dish in the house, your uncle is going for a walk,"
The middle-aged man pretended to be angry and glared at Bai Chuxia, and then said with a smile to Fang Yi: "Young man, just call me Uncle Wang, don't be restrained, getting here is the same as going home, I'll clean up the dishes first, and I'll have a few drinks with you later." ā
"Uncle Wang, my name is Fang Yi, I'm really bothering you. Fang Yi hurriedly reported his name, he would have already understood, and dared to love that this private dish was related to Bai Chuxia.
"Okay, good boy. The middle-aged man laughed and said to his daughter: "Xiaojia, take your sister to the house to sit and find out my big red robe tea, this tea is still from your Uncle Bai." ā
"Sister, you said that my dad didn't pick the door, and entertained you with the tea sent by my Uncle Bai. Xiao Jia grimaced at her father, and pulled Bai Chuxia to the back room.
"This stinky girl. Uncle Wang smiled at Fang Yi and said, "I've been used to being loose since I was a child, no one is afraid, don't care about Xiao Fang." ā
"Uncle Wang, go and get busy, you don't need to say hello, we can just come by ourselves. Fang Yi has a good impression of this family, because it doesn't look like a restaurant at all, it's really like being at home, which makes people very relaxed.
"Sister Chuxia, brother-in-law, you wait, I'll go get the tea. After coming to the inner room, Xiao Jia left again, Fang Yi looked at Bai Chuxia and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are relatives, in order to eat this meal, let's go through the back door, right?"
"Don't say it so ugly, we came in through the main entrance. Bai Chuxia smiled and explained the relationship between them to Fang Yi.
It turned out that the family's surname was Wang, the middle-aged man just now was called Wang Tianliang, the Wang family was also a big family in the capital in the early years, Wang Tianliang's grandfather once held an important position in Duan Qirui's government, but after Duan Qirui stepped down, the Wang family moved to Jinan Mansion.
Wang Tianliang and the Bai family are indeed related, the old man Wang who went out for a walk is the cousin of Bai Chuxia's father, this old man Wang is a legendary figure, he was born in a large family since he was a child, and it can be said that he grew up in an environment of fine clothes and fine food.
However, when Mr. Wang was sixteen or seventeen years old, the family was rapidly dilapidated due to the war, and Wang Tianliang's father put down his body and devoted himself to becoming a cook in a big hotel in Jinan Mansion in order to have enough to eat.
Not to mention, relying on a smart spirit and the unique skills learned from the chef at home, Mr. Wang soon became the head chef of the restaurant, and after the liberation, he entered the capital and became a chef who cooked for the national leaders in the state guesthouse.
Because of his superb cooking skills, the old man did not officially retire until he was seventy years old, Wang Tianliang is his youngest son, and he is also the person who inherited his cooking skills, so he opened this private dish in the capital, because the dishes are excellent and the reputation of the old man Wang, he soon became famous, and he is famous in the upper circle of the capital.
However, the courtyard where the old man lives has a lot to do with the Bai family.
When leaving the capital, the Wang family sold the courtyard to the Bai family, and when the old man Wang returned to the capital, Bai Chuxia's grandfather was in charge and returned the courtyard to the Wang family, so the old man Wang inherited the love of the Bai family, although the two families are cousins, but the contact has always been very close.
"With such a close relationship, do you still have to give money for dinner?" After hearing Bai Chuxia's introduction, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Relatives are relatives, buying and selling is buying and selling, this is the rule set by my grandfather, you must give money when you come to eat, my money is not enough to eat a few meals. ā
Bai Chuxia frowned his little nose, the dissatisfied appearance was very cute, in fact, it was precisely because of this rule that Bai Chuxia rarely came here to eat, and only when he came with the elders of the family did he have the opportunity to eat the food here.
"In early summer, I'll tell you something, I've made a fortune, and we can eat it every day in the future. ā
Fang Yi smiled, and took out the black card that Peng Bin gave him from his pocket, this time he came from Myanmar, it can be said that he didn't bring anything other than this card, the spirit stone and the broken blade that were placed close to him.
"Rich, what rich?"
Bai Chuxia was a little dissatisfied with Fang Yi's words, in her opinion, Fang Yi, who had no foundation in society and no connections, could not make any big money in a short period of time, but when Bai Chuxia saw Fang Yi's bank card, she was stunned for a moment.
"Huh, the black card of the Swiss bank, you ...... How do you have such a card?" Bai Chuxia is not the kind of girl who has no knowledge, in fact, their Bai family has produced many cultural celebrities, and the family is also very wealthy, and there are many industries at home and abroad before liberation.
Therefore, Bai Chuxia could see at a glance that although the black card that Fang Yi took out was only the most basic black card, it could only be handled by depositing tens of millions of dollars in a Swiss bank, and the balance of this card could not be lower than the bottom line of tens of millions of dollars.
"Fang Yi, you have been missing for more than half a year, did you go abroad to do something illegal?" Bai Chuxia lowered his voice a little and said, "You know that I used to be a policeman, if you break the law, I will arrest people!"
A teenager who has lived in the mountains for more than ten years has earned a net worth of hundreds of millions in just one or two years, which is definitely a myth, so Bai Chuxia must have done something to smuggle and sell drugs, so it can also be related to his previous disappearance and distress.
"Where, how could I break the law?"
Hearing Bai Chuxia's words, Fang Yi said with a wry smile: "This is given by my eldest brother, absolutely not breaking the law, if you are not at ease, go and check it, if I break the law abroad, I will definitely have a wanted record." ā
Fang Yi's behavior in Myanmar really can't be called illegal, because there is no right or wrong in the war itself, and it is also for the extended political service, if Fang Yi wants to, he can even hold important positions in the subsequent coalition government.
"Also, I'll go check when I go back, don't lie to me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" Bai Chuxia waved his small fist at Fang Yi, then pushed the bank card back to Fang Yi, and said: "This card is yours, you just take it, I usually don't spend any money." ā
Although Bai Chuxia was fierce on his lips, he was very happy in his heart, although the Bai family was born in a scholarly family and never paid much attention to money, but Fang Yi was able to earn so much money, which also proved his ability in a certain aspect, with such an economic foundation, Bai Chuxia was better to introduce Fang Yi to his family.
"You take it, the password is six ones, and you help me buy a house in the capital when I go back. ā
Fang Yi didn't take that card, this money was simply dispensable for him, because the word wealth in Fang Yi's cultivation of "wealth and wealth" was not worldly wealth at all, in Fang Yi's opinion, only those few spirit stones in his waist pocket could be called this word of wealth.
"You want to buy a house in the capital?" Fang Yi's words brought Bai Chuxia a surprise again, especially Fang Yi's insistence on handing over the money to her, which made Bai Chuxia's heart feel as sweet as honey.
Bai Chuxia didn't have the idea of managing money, but she knew how many girls fought with their husbands for the financial power of the family after getting married, and Fang Yi made such a move when she was still in love, which shows that Fang Yi attaches great importance to this relationship and treats it sincerely.
"Well, if we get married in the future, I will live in the capital for a long time, so I will naturally have to buy a house. ā
Fang Yi nodded very seriously, after seeing Bai Chuxia this time, some very subtle changes seemed to have occurred in his heart, Fang Yi longed for a family that he had never gotten before, with a virtuous wife and lovely children at home, Fang Yi felt that this was not in vain for him to go on such a journey in the red dust.
For this kind of thought of himself, Fang Yi himself was not fully aware of it, maybe this was a thought that was bred in his heart, because Fang Yi knew that one day he would still say goodbye to this kind of life and go to seek immortals, but before that, Fang Yi wanted to leave no regrets in his life.
