Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When Li Qingyun was preparing lunch, he didn't know that he was being ridiculed because of the price of his own vegetables. Today, everyone was in high spirits, sitting at a big table, watching the chef of Shuxiangge bring up the game delicacies one by one. It's just that the daughter-in-law of the trillion knows that she can't get on the table, so she takes the initiative to choose dishes in the kitchen and let her husband sit at the table.
As the hostess, Chen Xiuzhi only started today, and the male host Li Chengwen was only responsible for burning the pot, if you want a big fire, you will have a big fire, and if you want a small fire, you will have a small fire, and the pure pot will stir-fry, which also tests the chef's skills, after all, people are used to using natural gas.
First serve a few cold dish platters, authentic and superb vegetables, when you don't move the chopsticks, the smell alone makes people drool. Shoot cucumber strips, steamed beans, eggplant with garlic sauce, pickled pepper and cabbage, pure natural taste, no extra seasoning, let people feel the charm of the best vegetables.
The craftsmanship of the chef of Shuxiang Pavilion is indeed exquisite, and these most ordinary home-cooked dishes actually make a table of people drool. If the hot dishes are not served, no one usually moves the chopsticks, but this routine can also be broken at will, such as cold dishes are too (tempting) and drinks are too mellow.
Today's table has both of them. Tian Mu asked the secretary to take out a box of 53 degrees Feitian Moutai from the trunk of the car, and when the wine was dismantled, Li Qingyun now had a long date of this wine more than ten years ago, and after careful calculation, it should be fifteen years old. After dismantling, the house is also full of fragrance, but it is different from the fragrance of Xiaowuliangye stored by Li Qingyun, because Moutai is the fragrance of sauce, and Xiaowuliang is a strong fragrance.
Li Yuncong went to college, and he was a little knowledgeable, but he couldn't hold his breath, holding the wine bottle and shouting: "Wow, this is Feitian Moutai, or 2oo1 vintage, my classmate has a bottle at home, which is regarded as a treasure by his father, and I heard that now a bottle can be sold for six or seven thousand yuan." ”
Tian Mu smiled very modestly: "I have saved a lot of this wine, and the original cost was not so high, it was only a few hundred yuan a bottle when it left the factory." I love this mouthful, I can smoke without smoking, I can eat less food, but I can't go without alcohol for a day. Hehe, today everyone let go of the belly to drink, I brought two boxes, everyone can drink as much as you want, drink as much as you want, if it is not enough, I will bring more next time. ”
Zhou Liwen, the boss of Shuxiang Pavilion, felt that the limelight was robbed, and she stayed for dinner today, and she didn't bring any gifts, so she felt that she couldn't hang her face, so she said: "What six or seven thousand, it's just a hype price, and the price sold in our hotel is only five thousand yuan a bottle." ”
Hearing this kind of feminine idiot with a bit of coquettishness, Li Qingyun and Tian Mu laughed together, a woman is a woman, even a strong woman is a woman. Is it interesting to be angry and determine the true price of a bottle of wine? Wine is for drinking, and it is not right to talk about the price itself.
"Come on, come on, everyone is full, the hot food hasn't come up yet, let's taste the good wine first." Li Qingyun took the wine bottle, first filled a glass for Tian Mu, then poured it for Zhou Liwen, followed by a trillion yuan, and poured it for the accompanying personnel after pouring the main personnel of the guest side...... As for yourself and your little friends, it doesn't matter in order.
However, the female assistant left by Zhou Liwen served as the driver, even if she wanted to drink, and the entourage on Tian Mu's side was the same, and the person who was the driver did not drink.
Today in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, the emphasis is on a fun and casual, the rules are not said, everyone first made a small glass of Moutai, the stronger sauce fragrance spread in the mouth, the aroma rushed up, so that the nose from the inside out, have smelled the fragrance.
"Good wine, I've drunk Moutai twice before, but it can't be compared with today, it's not a grade. Come on, everyone will eat after drinking, don't be polite. As the host at the wine table, Li Qingyun is responsible for making the wine and food, so that the guests can feel the enthusiasm of the host.
In the eyes of today's city people, it seems that it is too fake, but most of it is a habit, and the whole place is this habit, which will be called a tradition.
In fact, Li Qingyun also feels that it is too fake, usually when he eats by himself, he almost does not let him, but there are too many guests who come today, and if he does not let the wine and dishes, his parents will hear that he will not be a man.
However, few people in the city know how to be polite, and since they really stay for dinner, they will not be polite. Without Li Qingyun's persuasion, he got off the chopsticks, crunched, and chewed the cucumber strips so crisply.
Fortunately, the hot dishes came up soon, braised hare, potato stewed pheasant, salt and pepper yellow eel, and a large pot of sauerkraut fish, which may be the habit of the chef, I don't know what means they use, with two pots, to make these four dishes at the same time. Although it is four dishes, it is full of portions, and each serving can only be served on a deep plate like a small pot.
Now no one is really polite, the main dish comes up, and I am not afraid of eating all the dishes on the table and embarrassing the host's family.
As the host, after everyone has a drink, it's time to toast, according to the status or importance of the errand. The local cups are small cups, only one or two cups, which is convenient for toasting, and a few more toasts will not fall down immediately.
Li Qingyun stood up, raised the cup to shoulder height, and said to the two important guests: "Brother Tian, Brother Tian, Sister Zhou...... No, it's Miss Zhou, and today I welcome two distinguished guests to my house, and of course, it also brings wealth to my family. I won't say much if I'm polite, it's all in the wine, I'll toast you two with a glass!"
After speaking, Li Qingyun did it all, reversed the wine glass, and lit the glass, which was regarded as indicating that he had drunk it all.
Tian Mu and Zhou Liwen also smiled and toasted, but after drinking, Zhou Liwen said solemnly: "Little brother, just now you toasted for the first time, forget it, forget it, if you call it the wrong title, you can't call me Sister Zhou or Miss Zhou in the future, just call me Sister Zhou." Otherwise, it's not just the punishment for drinking, but also other punishments. ”
Li Qingyun laughed and said that he knew that he was wrong, and the men and women at the table also laughed, and the current rules really don't want to call Miss, this is a curse.
"It's such a mistake that even the first toast is punishable. Do you say it's a penalty of one cup, or a penalty of three?" Tian Mu was in a good mood today, and he didn't target his old enemy Zhou Liwen, so he simply took Li Qingyun and his army, joked with him, and narrowed the distance.
"Haha, three fines, three fines......" Li Yuncong shook his head, not distinguishing between friend and foe, as if he had betrayed.
And Mao Dan hesitated, and said in his heart: "Brother Fuwa, let's punish three glasses! This wine is really good, drink fragrant, how could we have a chance to taste it before, but now we have a chance, don't let go of our belly to drink?"
Everyone laughed, and several women even laughed out of tears, thinking that Li Qingyun's two friends were quite happy.
Li Qingyun was also angry: "You two ...... As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate. No matter how good the wine is, I'll get drunk if I drink too much! You two want to help the guests get me drunk?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd burst into laughter again.
The vegetable merchant Wan Laiyi also coaxed and said with a smile: "Brother Li, in fact, what these two little brothers said is right, this superb Moutai is soft gold, three cups are more than 1,000 yuan, if you don't drink it, you can let me drink it on my behalf, I am so anxious that the wine worms in my stomach are about to jump out." ”
"Okay, good, I drank this wine, and after drinking, I will salute you Boss Wan, I don't want to snub any distinguished guest. Li Qingyun said, pour a glass and drink a cup, three glasses in a row, the wine is like yellow pulp, it is indescribably beautiful, no worse than the little Wuliangye that he treasured in the space.
Everyone praised Li Qingyun for his good drinking, and Li Qingyun burped a wine, and after pouring it full, he toasted the guests with hundreds of billions. After the main guest is toasted, the host delegates the right to toast to his companion and let the secondary host toast the second guest, so that the atmosphere at the table can be warm.
Taking advantage of the drinking, Tian Mu took the opportunity to taste a piece of sauerkraut fish, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "Good fish, chewing is really strong, and the spicy fragrance can't hide the aroma of the fish, this is the best fish I have eaten in recent years." ”
His secretary also tasted a piece, and nodded his head again and again, praising the good fish. This fish is the grass carp that weighs ** pounds, and the quality of the meat is considered to be at the middle and upper level of freshwater fish. If it is pure wild, the meat quality will be better, and Li Qingyun added space spring water to the pond, which can add a little bit of deliciousness.
Another red carp was cut by the chef with a squirrel flower knife, patted with dry powder, fried in oil, and poured with tomato sauce, which became a famous specialty of Shuxiang Pavilion, called squirrel fish, suitable for all ages, both men and women.
After being served, it was immediately robbed by everyone. Although the carp has many spines, as long as it is handled properly, the taste is not to be said, and everyone is full of fragrance when they eat it, and they can't stop it.
"I have never eaten such delicious fish...... "Maodan, I have been poor since I was a child, but the villagers who live by the Xiandai River have never been short of fish to eat, but there are thousands of ways to make fish, and the taste of each chef is different.
Li Qingyun, a person who has been raised by small space ingredients and has a tricky taste, thinks that this table of wine and food is excellent, not to mention others. After the squirrel fish is served, the pickled wild boar meat is served with sharp peppers, and a shredded pepper is fried, which immediately detonates everyone's appetite, fresh and spicy and delicious, with fine wine, and some people drink too much unconsciously.
When the turtle soup came up, no one could drink it. The chef may be afraid that he will not have enough to eat, so he made another tomato and egg soup, which is not ordered in the main restaurant, but the ordinary soup made with tomatoes and eggs poured from the space spring water is actually more popular than the light turtle soup.
There were more than ten people at a table, and four bottles of wine were not enough to drink, so Tian Mu asked people to move out another box of Feitian Moutai in the trunk of the car. may feel that he still has to work in the afternoon and can't get drunk, so he symbolically divided one bottle and handed the remaining three bottles to the chef who has been busy for a long time, as well as Li Qingyun's parents and trillions of daughters-in-law. Although they left food in the kitchen, they also had to drink a little wine.
After eating this banquet for more than two hours, the curtain came to an end, and after it was removed, a pot of green tea was brewed and a cup was poured for each person, which was regarded as sobering tea. Although it is a local habit, many people know that drinking tea after drinking is not good for the body, so drink it if you want to drink it, and drink plain water if you don't want to drink it.
Tian Mu took a sip of tea and exclaimed, "Brother, today I just appeared that Qinglong Town is a treasure." Not to mention the vegetables and fruits you grow, a pot of wild tea brewed casually is actually a rare and good tea. ”
"This tea is very ordinary, and after a while, I will let you taste one of the best teas I treasure, and that will be amazing. Li Qingyun smiled modestly, and said in his heart I will sue you, did I add half a cup of space spring water to the water of making tea?
