"Little Liu, go say goodbye to your friends today, we will leave tomorrow. Liu Mang squatted down, rubbed Xiao Liu's cat head, and said.

"Aim. The fat cat seemed to understand Liu Mang's words, and kept rubbing his head against his feet.

"Take Ah Fu to play, remember to come back early. Liu Mang stood up and carefully rubbed the fish maw in the stainless steel basin in the pool.

The fish maw was soaked last night. After soaking, Liu Mang simmered it slightly in chicken broth, and now only use warm water to wash off the remaining chicken fat on it before it can be put into the dish.

As the name suggests, the 'white assorted dishes' that I am going to make today are a plate of white fried assorted dishes without any color mixing. It doesn't sound like it's tasteful, but it tastes like a top.

It is made of fish maw, fresh shellfish, shrimp, hoof tendons and chicken slices, sliced bamboo shoots and fresh mushrooms, and the color is made with fine ham slices and a few strands of jasper shredded from cucumber skin, and thinly sliced egg custard.

It seems to be plain and simple, but it is not only time-consuming to do, but also a lot of skill of the chef.

Because the ingredients that are mixed and matched together each have a different level of ripeness. For example, chicken slices, fish slices, etc., the heat needs to be larger, and aquatic products such as fresh shellfish and shrimp lose their smooth and tender taste when the heat is slightly larger.

Speaking of the origin of this dish, there is no way to be exquisite, Liu Mang also deliberately checked it on the Internet and screened out a more reliable answer.

Originally, this dish was supposed to be called the 'White Food Plate', which was originally intended to be found in old restaurants. But this 'white food' is completely different from the artistic conception of 'eating white food' that Suzhou people harm, and it is more of a joking name with goodwill.

Among the old restaurants, there is an interesting scenery. There was no such thing as "packing" at that time. If there is a banquet such as a red and white wedding in a restaurant or restaurant, the host family will often bring a lunch box of steel pots when they go out, so that they can take the leftover dishes home after the banquet is dispersed.

When pouring vegetables, the host family will often mix the whole chicken, whole duck, hooves and other large dishes into a large pot or bucket to take home, and when it is time to eat, put it in a casserole and roll it back before serving it - this dish is often called "scraping stall".

However, Liu Mang had doubts in his heart, could another popular dish "three pieces" come from this? It should be simple and not sloppy, which is known as the way of Suzhou people to govern their families, and it should be so when dealing with these leftovers.

When the main family pours back the leftovers, they often pour white dishes such as shrimp, hoof tendons, mushrooms, and chicken slices together, while other dishes such as eel paste, kidney flower, pork liver, duck gizzard, etc., which are made with soy sauce or have a red tinge on them, are poured together.

When stir-frying, the red is red, the white is white, and those things that seem to be leftovers produce a different taste, and the so-called "white Shi Pan" and "Red Shi Pan" that have always been very loved by the family are reasonable.

In addition, in Suzhou-style cuisine, "meat mix" and "vegetarian mix" have always been very popular traditional dishes, but in recent years, they have become less common in restaurants and restaurants.

The fish maw in Liu Mang's hand is also known as fish maw, and there are many kinds of fish maw, which come from different fish bladders. Among the top fish maw, the order of ranking according to the species is: golden eel maw (yellow lip fish), white fish maw (large white fish), yellow fish maw (large yellow croaker), eel maw (large eel), door eel maw (gate eel) and so on......

Today, Liu Mang uses white fish maw, which comes from the swim bladder of the big white fish. It's not that he doesn't want to use better yellow-lipped fish gelatin, but it's so rare that it's hard to buy it nowadays, even if you have money.

I remember the last time I helped Li Ruonan pit Hu Wang, a small cup of 'yellow-lipped fish belly soup' was sold for 80,000 yuan. This is also the reason why Shuiyueju is backed by Longteng Group and can get the goods in the market.

In addition to fish maw and hoof tendons, Liu Mang chose ox hoof tendons, and last night it was the same as fish maw, which was stewed in advance over low heat, and when you bite it gently, the entrance is elastic and full of gum.

After changing the beef tendon stewed until it was raked into small pieces, Liu Mang began to deal with other side dishes.

Shrimp, chicken, fresh shellfish, and fish are all produced in Liu Mang's space, and they only need to be cleaned and cut into the right shape as required.

"It's the last day. Liu Mang's fingers brushed over the cutting board covered with knife marks, and a wave of unrelenting emotions surged in his heart: "Who will come today?"

"Jingle Bell. When it was time to open in the evening, the wooden door was pushed open, and a little girl poked her head in: "Is it open now?"

"Commercial. Liu Mang, who was slicing fish, raised his head and said with a smile.

"The boss is here. The little girl pushed the wooden door aside and shouted excitedly to the back.

"Well, here we are. A man with a beard and glasses walked in with an old lady in tow.

"Hello uncle, do you remember me?" asked the little girl, wearing two pigtails and a new dress, with sparkling eyes.

"Of course I remember, the last time you came with grandma. Liu Mang recalled: "What you eat should be 'fish dumplings', right?"

"Yes, uncle, you have a good memory. ”

"Grandma, you better sit here. Seeing that the man wanted to help the old man to the bar chair on high legs, Liu Mang hurriedly took out his recliner.

"Uncle, do you still have dumplings to eat today?"

"Uh, I didn't prepare dumplings today. ”

"Is that so?" the little girl's little face showed a look of disappointment: "Is it really not?"

"Nannan, forget if you don't have dumplings, let's order something else. The man nodded and smiled at Liu Mang and said.

"The dumplings in this shop are different, last time I listened to my grandmother's words and ate my uncle's dumplings, and you came back. The little girl pouted and replied.

"What's going on?" the man was surprised.

"You are the father of a child, right? Yes, the old man once said last time that there are rules for eating dumplings, and you should put them in your mouth and eat them slowly, and you must not break them. If you eat according to the rules, you will be able to reunite with your family soon, and the result is really like this. Liu Mang said with a smile.

......Hearing Liu Mang's words, the man touched the little girl's head and looked very moved.

"Although I didn't prepare dumplings today, if you want to eat them, I can make them temporarily, but it's a bit long, so I'll have to wait a while. ”

On the last day, if the guests have any requirements, Liu Mang is of course willing to try his best to meet them.

The man squatted down and hugged the little girl: "Nannan, Dad has come back, and he will never leave you and grandma in the future." Let's make dumplings together at home tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay......"
