The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, the white and fat Lantern Festival, is naturally the protagonist of this day, Grandpa She and Grandma Xia took Mother Xia to be busy from the tenth day of the first month, the handmade Lantern Festival and the kind sold outside with a machine shake out, whether it is from the appearance, or from the taste is not a level, not to mention, Grandpa She still holds the ancestral secret recipe in his hand, which is a real imperial dining room, absolutely genuine, Tong Su is not deceitful.

It is said that it is a secret recipe, this description is not so accurate, in fact, this is a complete set of books, a total of eight books, according to Grandpa She, these eight books are a collection of five thousand years of food civilization in the land of China, if you can learn all the content in the book, it is really the first person in the food industry. However, this idea should be difficult to realize, because with the passage of time, many of the ingredients in the book have become extinct, and there are only 312 dishes that can be restored.

"Three hundred and twelve, that's a lot!"

Sitting in the kitchen in the summer, helping Grandpa She choose dishes with Bai Zhongqiu and Shu Chang, today is the Lantern Festival, and there is a delicious meal waiting for them in the evening. It's just that it's not so easy to eat a big meal, and you have to do what you can. Because they are young and what they can do is limited, they were assigned the task of choosing dishes by today's chef Grandpa She. In fact, according to Summer's own thoughts, he really wanted to go to the stove and secretly learn a hand or two from Grandpa She, after all, he was also a person who could cook. It's just that this wish was broken by the adults in the family, on the grounds that during the Chinese New Year, the children should stay away from the fireworks to avoid some terrible accidents. For the adults' statement, there is no other choice but to accept it in the summer, but to honestly carry out his great business of choosing vegetables. However, in the summer, I think it is also a very interesting thing to listen to Grandpa She's talk about the ancient times while picking vegetables.

"Silly boy!" Grandpa She said with a smile while looking at the pigeon soup in the pot, "Our Chinese heritage has been inherited for 5,000 years, and there are tens of thousands of dishes just recorded, not to mention those dishes scattered among the people and unknown, there are countless of them, there are more than 300 dishes, I'm afraid I can't even reach a fraction!"

"If the whole set of books is restored, how many should there be?" In the summer, the pinched bean sprouts were neatly arranged and placed neatly on the plate, "It must be very, very much, right?"

"It's enough for you to eat in this life, and it won't be the same every day!"

Grandpa She turned down the heat of the pigeon soup stew and turned around to cut the Chinese cabbage, they had a very traditional and very ordinary dish tonight, called cabbage stewed tofu. Although it is a home-cooked dish, it will naturally not be an ordinary practice in the hands of Grandpa She, especially the main ingredient of this dish, which is even more fragrant summer and comfortable saliva, even Bai Zhongqiu, who has no great pursuit in eating this, was attracted by this taste, which shows how powerful such an ingredient is.

"Grandpa She, what kind of delicious thing is this?" In the summer, he was so hungry by the fragrance that he put down the small rape in his hand, and rushed towards Grandpa She, lying next to the people and staring at it. "I didn't seem to see it at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

"Why didn't you see it, it's because you didn't pay attention. Grandpa She looked at the summer and felt a little funny, "I remember you asked again, and it seems that you also asked what is delicious and why the taste is so good." ”

"Really?" Xia Xia tried to think back, but he couldn't remember such a thing, "Forget it, I don't want to, Grandpa She, what is this delicious?"

"It's called oven meat. Grandpa She put the cut oven meat/yard on the plate, "It is also called hanging oven meat, or roasted party, which is the most traditional famous dish in our B city, with a history of more than 300 years." When we were young, we would buy a piece home if we could, but later, this craft was slowly lost. It was only restored a few years ago, but the taste is not what we tasted like when we were children. Maybe it has something to do with the environment, after all, at that time, material was not so abundant. ”

"Isn't our family in business, can't we eat well?" Xia Xia blinked and looked at Grandpa She in puzzlement. "I've read it in books and TV dramas, and at that time, many merchants' families ate well. ”

"There is a shortage of soldiers, how can there be so much food, it is not easy to fill your stomach. Most of the money earned by the merchants was exchanged for gold and silver, and hid in a place that only they knew, and if something happened in the city, they took a large family to flee, and as for the gold and silver, they came back to get it after the change, and if they couldn't come back, it was okay to tell their son or grandson. Seeing the surprised look of the three children, Grandpa She smiled faintly, "This seems to you to be a very incredible, even heartless practice, right?" Seeing the three children nodding, Grandpa She sighed softly, "But in that era, this is the safest way." ”

"That's right!" Bai Zhongqiu was the first to regain his composure, he came over and put the small rape in his hand into the vegetable washing sink, washed his hands, and pulled Xia Xia to rinse his paws as well, and said, "In that era of war and chaos, robbers were rampant, it was the most stupid thing to flee with gold and silver, and only those who sacrificed their lives and wealth would do it." If it were me, I would bury the gold and silver, and then dress myself as a fleeing citizen, with some ash on my face and a tattered dress, so that I would be safer in the midst of those who have fled. ”

"Xiaoqiu is still very sensible. Grandpa She nodded, and turned to check the fruits of the children's labor. Ji Ji still thinks simpler, and he will learn more from Xiaoqiu in the future. ”

"I'd better forget it, these brain-consuming jobs are not very suitable for me, I'd better be a simple foodie!" Xia Xia leaned on Bai Zhongqiu's body and yawned heavily, "Grandpa She, you said just now that the stove meat you ate was bought from outside, and our family ate it too?"

"What we eat is made by myself according to the method in the book, although it is not the taste in my memory, but it is also very fresh, and it is more comfortable to eat. ”

"It's not so easy to be a simple foodie now, Ji Ji!" Shu Chang walked over and patted Xia Xia on the shoulder, "Food safety is a very serious problem now!" 166 Reading Network
