Chapter 116: Boating on the Lake
"Elder Wang, hurry up and try it. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Luo laughed and used the bone in his hand to cut his elbow into small pieces.
Wang Lao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, he closed his eyes, savoring the taste coming from his mouth.
The expression of heat in Chinese cuisine is vividly played in this Dongpo elbow.
After the elbow is stewed, steamed, and braised, all the excess fat in it is separated, leaving only the soft meat and the rich collagen in the skin.
"Fat but not greasy, full of heat!good!good!good!good!" Wang Lao shouted three times in a row.
"Haha! Elder Wang, I have been immersed in this Dongpo elbow for three years! Every process strives for perfection, so that it can have the current effect. Luo Badao looked very proud.
"Alright, you're done, let's vote now. ”
The result of the vote was similar to what Liu Mang expected, out of a total of 60 votes, Shan Jian received 21 votes, and the remaining 39 votes were voted for Luo Badao.
"Let's go. Liu Mang stood up.
"Ah, Boss, don't you want to taste it?" asked Five Eyes.
"Don't taste it, you really want to eat it, I'll go back and make one." ”
Everyone returned to the hotel, and as soon as they got out of the car, a doorman ran over and handed Liu Mang an envelope.
"What is this?" Liu Mang opened it with doubts, and inside was a white letterhead, with a few small characters written in italics.
"Brother Liu, I missed it very much when I said goodbye that day, and I was invited to get together. Below the letterhead is a line of printed addresses.
"Damn!
"!" Liu Mang slapped him on the back of the head.
"Who?" asked Li Ruonan curiously.
"Lin Xiao. ”
"Lin Xiao, have you two seen it?"
"Not only have I seen it, but I have also had a fight. ”
"Really? And who won?"
"It should be that he won. Liu Mang thought for a moment and replied.
"He found you on his own?"
"No, I met occasionally, and he was not bad, and he was a friend worth making. ”
……
Early the next morning, Liu Mang pulled his eyes and drove to the address mentioned on Lin Xiao's letterhead.
"Boss, there's no road ahead, it's a lake. Five Eyes stopped the car, got out of the car to check, and said.
"No way? That's the right address. Liu Mang got out of the car, looked at the letterhead again, and said suspiciously.
Indeed, the road has come to an end, and in front of it is Yandang Lake in County D.
The surface of the lake is sparkling, and the surrounding verdant hills are reflected in the lake, like a long scroll of carefully depicted landscapes.
Just when the two were confused, there was a melodious whistle on the lake, and a small passenger ship slowly approached from the lake.
The 20-metre-long, two-storey liner has been modified to resemble a Han Dynasty palace in China, with a towering roof ridge and carved beams. From a distance, it seems like a field of pavilions and pavilions rushing to the face.
"Dude, here!" There was a man in white on the second floor of the passenger ship, who was waving at Liu Mang and Wuyan, it was Lin Xiao.
The passenger ferry sailed to the dock, Lin Xiao put down a springboard, and Liu Mang and Wuyan walked up.
Approaching the passenger ferry, the first feeling was that this Lin Xiao was not only sassy, but also rich, very rich.
The ship is far more luxurious than expected, in addition to the porcelain placed everywhere on the ship and the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities posted on the walls, even the deck of the bunk on the ship is made of ebony, exuding a unique fragrance.
"You usually live on a boat?" Liu Mang asked curiously.
"That's right, when you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy, isn't this the ideal of my generation?"
"You're a cow!" Liu Mang gave a thumbs up.
"Xiao Linzi, how much silver did this boat cost you?" asked with a smile as he put his arm around Lin Xiao's shoulder.
"It didn't cost much, it cost 10 million to buy the boat, 8 million to renovate, and 10 million to decorate, not counting the decorations, 30 million is so-so. Lin Xiao pinched his fingers and calculated.
"Local tyrant, real local tyrant!" Five was stunned by the long list of numbers.
"Golden silk nanmu?" Liu Mang paced to a column in the hall and stroked it gently: "The wood used here alone is more than this price." ”
"Where, all this wood I used to hoard. Now, there is not a hundred million that cannot be taken at all. Lin Xiao's face was a little proud.
"Well, it's good, although the money is used a lot, but it's not rustic. Liu Mang came to a summary.
"Do you like it?"
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, seriously! You can drive away later. Hearing Liu Mang's words questioning him, Lin Xiao was a little anxious.
"I don't want to send it, I won't open it. ”
"You don't have to worry about that, I'll send you with the boatman. ”
"I can't afford it, you can keep it for yourself. By the way, what did you have to do with me?"
"It's okay, just have a meal together. Lin Xiao made a gesture of invitation: "Let you taste my real craftsmanship." ”
Liu Mang and Wuyan followed Lin Xiao to the second floor, where a small table was placed, in addition to a few food boxes, a small red clay stove in the middle was burning, and the clay pot on it was steaming.
"Come, sit down. Lin Xiao beckoned the two to sit down.
"Is this bald butter?" Liu Mang uncovered the lid of one of the food boxes.
Inside the food box is a small plate of golden and brilliant paste, and when you smell it gently, a strong fragrance comes to your nose.
"That's right, I just brewed it yesterday, and I took it out for you to taste today. ”
"Boss, what do you mean by bald butter?" asked Five-Eyes curiously.
"Bald butter is a dialect of Suzhou, and bald means 'only' or 'exclusive'. Liu Mang explained.
"What is this made of? Five-eyes sniffed.
"This is made with freshly taken crab roe, plus cooked fat, then stir-fried with green onion and ginger, then stewed with rice wine, seasoned with broth, and finally poured with lard and sprinkled with pepper, which is generally used to eat bibimbap. ”
Liu Mang stretched out his chopsticks and tasted them: "Well, the taste is salty and fragrant, the smell is fragrant and fragrant, the best of the best!"
"If I can get Brother Liu's praise, it will not be in vain for my hard work yesterday. Lin Xiao laughed and lifted the lid of the clay pot: "You can taste this again." ”
A black-bone chicken stewed in a clay pot is a chicken broth stewed with some tawny mushrooms.
The breeze blows, bringing the unique aroma of chicken soup to everyone's noses.
"This aroma is very special. Liu Mang couldn't help but step forward and took a deep breath, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
"You see, it's not chicken, it's mushrooms in soup. ”
"Really?" Liu Mang stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of mushroom from the chicken soup and put it into his mouth.
"This is?" Liu Mang's eyes immediately widened.
The deliciousness of this mushroom is the only one he has seen in his life, and when he chews it slightly, the aftertaste is overflowing, and it lingers between his lips and teeth for a long time, making people feel refreshed.
"What kind of mushroom is this?" asked Liu Mang in surprise.
"I can't guess. Lin Xiao was very satisfied with Liu Mang's expression, and squeezed his eyes proudly: "This is a hairy mushroom." ”
"Hairy mushrooms?"
