Wu Qingcalf walked into Chen Wangdu's private room, Chen Wangdu felt that Wu Qingcalf was not full and Wu Qingcalf was indeed not full, so Wu Qingcalf smiled and said: "Miss Lin's rice is too exquisite, you can't get down the chopsticks", Chen Wangdu stared at Wu Qingli without saying a word, Wu Qingli's bright grin was a little shy, Chen Wangdu suddenly laughed out loud and then asked: "My rice here is not exquisite but affordable, are the Qingcalf brothers interested in tasting it?" Wu Qingli said to Chen Wangdu with a sincere smile: "Of course Chen Ye is willing to appreciate the rice!" ”
Chen Wangdu smiled and then said to the door: "Che Tuo, arrange the food", and then said to Wu Qingli: "Come, Brother Qingli sit" Wu Qingli walked over in the direction that Chen Wangdu stretched out his hand to point, and after Chen Wangdu sat down, he also sat on the chair, Chen Wangdu said to Wu Qingli: "Brother Qingcalf really doesn't hide it, I know your details, because I have checked you, but don't you also know me when you listen to your tone?" Wu Qingli always kept a smile and said to Chen Wangdu: "Master Chen, I came to the Northeast to ask for a living, and I dare not ask about the future." Chen Wangdu stopped talking after listening to the interested "oh", and from time to time there was a knock on the door, Chen Wangdu said: "Enter", the door opened and the man who had been guarding the door walked into the room, and said to Chen Wangdu: "Big brother's meal is ready" Chen Wangdu said lightly: "Serve", the man glanced at Wu Qingli and turned to leave, and when he turned around, the corners of his mouth rose and pulled out an arc of a smile.
About five minutes after the man named Che Tuo went out, there was another knock on the door, and Chen Wangdu said "enter" After that, the door opened and walked into the three cheongsam beauties holding the oversized plate, the three beauties were each like flowers, each holding a plate the size of a normal basin, and walked to the dining table in a graceful manner, and stood aside after placing the plates in their hands one by one, Wu Qingli's eyes glanced at the contents of the plate and the three beauties from beginning to end, and after Chen Wangdu stretched out his hand, the three beauties bowed to Chen Wangdu Wu Qingcalf and walked out.
Three oversized plates crowd the table with more than a dozen dishes, one braised pig's trotter with red sauce, shining brightly; a piece of sauced beef slightly larger than a fist, with a smooth brown color and fragrant meat; and three large bones with distinct bones and dripping soup, overflowing with strong fragrance.
Chen Wangdu stretched out his hand and pointed to the three plates and whispered: "The big bones over there in Henan, according to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was an ancestor who made a living by running a pharmacy. He is well aware of the properties of various medicinal materials, and has a small reputation in ten miles and eight towns. coincided with Emperor Qianlong's private visit to this place, and he occasionally felt cold, and his entourage went to this pharmacy to grab medicine, but he was helpless and weak, and the Chinese medicine was bitter and unable to swallow. When he was depressed, the ancestor of the Yang family suddenly heard the sound of the kitchen knife breaking the bones, and he had an idea, picked more than ten pieces of bones with meat and put them in the pot, boiled them with Chinese medicine for two hours, and fed them with bone broth. On the second day, Emperor Qianlong's face was ruddy and his face was happy. After that, without waiting for Wu Qingcalf's reaction, he stretched out his hand and pointed to another plate: "The sauce beef of the old craft in Beijing, the beef used is the front leg and tendon of the grass cow before the age of six, and the lean and tender meat that is suitable for both sides of the oil, and the auxiliary materials for cooking the meat are mostly some precious medicinal materials, and the origin of the medicinal materials is also very exquisite, the old soup is a real old soup, and a series of processes in the middle need to adjust the sauce, tighten the meat, and make the sauce to make this mellow and fragrant, and the aftertaste is rich and long." Wang Luo braised pork trotters Wang Luo braised pork trotters is a traditional famous food in Xiangcheng County, Xuchang City, Henan Province, which belongs to the Henan cuisine, with a long history, exquisite production, bright color, pure taste, and is well-known. The finished product is sauce red, shiny, rotten but not scattered, fat but not greasy, sweet and delicious. ”
Chen Wangdu introduced the historical taste and workmanship of the three dishes like a glutton, and then looked at Wu Qingli and said with a serious face: "What do you think of these dishes, Brother Qingcalf?"
Wu Qingcalf still smiled and nodded and replied honestly: "It's almost drooling when I look at it" Chen Wangdu laughed and then put away his smile and said to Wu Qingcalf: "Brother Qingcalf, don't be busy eating, my chefs here are not professional, they are all half-grown children who run out to find a job after half of their studies, so these famous dishes make them look similar and ungodly, each of them looks and smells quite good, but it's not chewy, the thief has a tooth to eat, Brother Qingcalf, do you still eat it?" Wu Qingli sorted out all the things in front of him to the side, and said to Chen Wangdu with an excited look: "Chen Ye, I grew up in the mountains, and I have always stuttered, where there are good ones, chew them well" Chen Wangdu frowned when he heard this, and said to Wu Qingli: "The stomach is bad, and others can't replace it" Wu Qingli smiled brightly and said to Chen Wangdu: "Chen Ye, can I move chopsticks?" , Chen Wangdu stared at Wu Qingli without saying a word, Wu Qingli still smiled sincerely and looked at Chen Wangdu, Chen Wangdu suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Brother Qingcalf, just eat, let go of your stomach and eat"
Wu Qingli looked at Chen Wangdu, who was smiling heartily, reached out and picked up the dishes, chopsticks, plates and plates in front of him and placed them neatly in a position next to him, and then reached out and picked up a big bone and lowered his head to Chen Wangdu with a bright smile and bit it, and suddenly his mouth was full of oil, Wu Qingli kept eating with the bones in both hands, eating cleanly, and then eating the other two pieces so generally, and then still eating with his hands, without stopping for a moment, eating the other two hard dishes cleanly, Wu Qingcalf also licked the residual oil flowers on his fingers after eating, and then straightened up and burped happily, and then smiled brightly again at Chen Wang, who didn't know how many times he had been brilliant.
Chen Wangdu looked at Wu Qingcalf motionless and seriously after eating the three hard dishes he had prepared, his expression did not change once, his eyes did not blink once, and after Wu Qingli smiled at himself after eating, he also smiled at Wu Qingcalf and said, "How is it?Is it enough to eat?" Wu Qingcalf nodded and said: "Thank you Chen Ye, this is considered full", Chen Wangdu stared at Wu Qingcalf and asked: "Just eat meat and don't drink alcohol?" Wu Qingli shook his head with a smile and said: "The amount of alcohol is not very good, don't dare to be presumptuous in front of Chen Ye" Chen Wangdu thought for a moment and nodded.
Wu Qingli still kept his hand on the table, looked up at Chen Wangdu and kept smiling, Chen Wangdu changed to a comfortable sitting position and said to Wu Qingli: "You are a little belly now, but it was all supported by Old Man Qin by chance, can you digest it after eating so much at one time?" Wu Qingli knew what Chen Wangdu meant, and he was able to eat at the table because he had Old Man Qin, but how much he ate could be digested and not supported to death had to rely on himself, so he still smiled and said to Chen Wangdu: " Master Chen, please leave some time, so that I can always digest the activities."
Chen Wangdu heard Wu Qingli's words and asked with a smile: "Do you have any nicknames?" Qingli shouted a little tired", Wu Qingli still replied with a smile: "Xingqi at home, there is a nickname called Guan Xiaoqi, if you don't dislike calling me Xiaoqi", Chen Wangdu patted the armrest of the chair and stood up and walked towards the door, stopped when he was about to reach the door and said: "Entering the mountain gate is the rivers and lakes, Xiaoqi, in the big rivers and lakes, the little shrimp is the most boring" and then walked straight forward, at this time, Wu Qingli, who looked at Chen Wangdu's back, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: " Thank you Chen Ye for appreciating the meal", Chen Wangdu laughed and strode out without stopping.
