Chapter Forty-Seven: Nandu Cuisine
When he returned to Nandu from Fengluan Mountain, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Tianyuan felt a little hungry, so he called Xu Gang to ask if they had eaten.
They said they hadn't eaten yet, and they were about to find a hotel to have a good meal.
Zhang Tianyuan said let's go together, so the two people met at the door of the hotel they booked, and saw Liu Mengxun and Mu Ying eating with buns in their hands, Zhang Tianyuan was a little embarrassed, this was obviously hungry, and he had to wait for him to eat together.
"Old classmate, we've been hungry for a long time, you have to treat us to a good meal." Mu Ying said with a smile.
"Come to Nandu, don't eat expensive, only eat good, this is the key, I used to have a restaurant next to the school, all of which are authentic Sichuan cuisine, and I guarantee that you will have an endless aftertaste." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Not far away?"
"It's not far, it's nearby, about a hundred meters or so." Zhang Tianyuan spoke, but stuffed the ink jar into Xu Gang's hand and said, "Take this thing well, it's worth more than 100,000 yuan, don't break it." ”
He was holding a wooden box in his hand like a treasure.
When he was about to leave the Taoist temple, Zhang Tianyuan had already agreed with the ebony Taoist to help the ebony Taoist open an account in the Nandu Bank, and the money would be put inside, and tomorrow the ebony Taoist would come down the mountain to accompany him to do these things, so this ink color jar naturally had to be dealt with by himself.
"This is the Qing Tongzhi Guan Kiln Hu Kui ink color jar, it is indeed worth a lot of money, old classmate, you found the treasure in the place marked on the map?" Mu Ying asked.
"That's right, that's it, you see if you want it, if you want, I can sell it to you cheaper." Zhang Tianyuan said that these good things will naturally be sold to people with good relationships first, and although they may be auctioned at a higher price, they will not be able to win people's hearts.
"Okay, we're all old classmates, and I won't say anything about it, how about a million deals? It just so happens that our company also has a branch in Nandu, and when we have dinner, we will go there to trade. Mu Ying immediately agreed, their company was originally in this business, and it was definitely a blessing to receive such a baby, so that her performance is estimated to go up again.
If you buy this million, it is estimated that you can sell two or three million as soon as you change hands, and you will definitely make money, after all, people's companies are hand-eyed, but they are not people like Zhang Tianyuan, and there are few people who know each other in the antique world.
"I'm going to eat with a jar?" Xu Gang was a little dissatisfied, especially since this thing was so valuable, he was afraid that it would be broken.
"So what do you want to do? Why don't you trade now? Anyway, you can't put a hotel room, I'm not at ease. Zhang Tianyuan said.
"Let's trade first, when I booked the hotel, I considered that there might be some things that would trouble the branch, so I booked it nearby, just the street in front, less than fifty meters." Mu Ying said with a smile, which can be regarded as relieving his husband.
So a few people first went to the Nandu Branch of Daqin Fashion Culture Communication Company to trade, and after it was over, Zhang Tianyuan took everyone to the Sichuan restaurant that he had always liked very much.
The restaurant is not big, about six or seven hundred square meters, but it is very clean, and the environment is really good.
It was probably because there were a lot of people eating at this time, and it was full of people, that is, Zhang Tianyuan was more familiar with the boss here, so the boss simply gave them a table in a small room.
"Stinky boy, you won't come to see us after you graduate, how are you doing now?" The boss was straightforward and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, isn't this coming, remember it's still the same as the old three, I want a large portion, and more rice." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem, mapo tofu, husband and wife lung slices, back to the pot pork three large portions, more rice, do you still drink orange juice?"
"Just add a tomato and egg soup, no orange juice." Zhang Tianyuan said after soliciting everyone's opinions.
"Wait, I'll be right away." The boss walked out, and Xu Gang's face was not good.
"I said buddy, you're not mistaken, just use these dishes to fool us? We're rich now, right, even if we keep any abalone and sea cucumber, it's no problem to eat some high-grade dishes, what are you ordering? Xu Gang muttered.
"You know a fart, you don't eat these three things when you come to Nandu, you don't count as having been to Nandu, I ate all over Nandu back then, and I still think these three dishes here are the best." Zhang Tianyuan scolded with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you will understand after eating it later." ”
"Tian Yuan, I've always heard people mention these three dishes, saying that they are the basic ones in Sichuan cuisine, and each has its own story, can you tell us about it?" Liu Mengxun is not as picky as Xu Gang, this princess-like eldest lady, after leaving home, everything is fresh, and she wants to taste everything, since Zhang Tianyuan said that it was delicious, it would definitely not be wrong.
"Mapo tofu is Chen Senfu, the owner of a small restaurant in Wanfuqiao, the northern suburbs of the southern city of Tongzhi in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and his name is Chen Fuchun. Anyway, it was created by his wife Liu. Liu's face has pockmarks, and he is known as Chen Mapo. The roasted tofu she created was called "Chen Mapo Tofu", and her restaurant later became known as "Chen Mapo Tofu Shop". Zhang Tianyuan said: "The late Qing Dynasty poet Feng Jiaji's "Jincheng Bamboo Branch Ci" cloud: 'Mapo Chen's is still famous, tofu baked to taste the most fine, Wanfu Bridge side curtain shadow, Hegu spring wine drunk Mr.'." Due to its outstanding reputation, mapo tofu has spread throughout the country, even Japan, Singapore and other countries. ”
"Tsk, it's all exported." Xu Gang sighed.
"You stupid boy, you haven't seen China since you were a child, and you don't know what to do? The beginning of that piece is mapo tofu, I suggest you go back to take a good look, and you will know what is good about this mapo tofu. ”
"Dude, I never watch anime."
"There is no childhood! Pathetic! Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said.
"Don't interrupt yet, what do you say about the other two dishes?" Xu Gang obviously didn't want Zhang Tianyuan to just make fun of himself, so he changed the topic.
"Huiguo meat has always been considered the first of Sichuan cuisine, the incarnation of Sichuan cuisine, and when it comes to Sichuan cuisine, it is inevitable to think of Huiguo meat. It is full of color, flavor and eye-catching, and is the first choice for the best meals. You kid looks down on back pot meat, that is looking down on Sichuan cuisine! Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"I can't afford this crime, good guy, I look down on Sichuan cuisine, I'm not that good." Xu Gang hurriedly waved his hand.
"Back to the pot meat is the nine-turn elixir of the Sichuan people. Even if you are so hungry after a hard day's work that you can't afford to sprinkle it, as long as you come to a plate of back pot meat and two buckets of white rice and dry rice, the meat slices and oil soup are washed together, and you will be refreshed and rejuvenated. You can also speak loudly and vigorously, rushing to the shell: You doll, shrimp shrimp! ”
"Blow!"
"Blown! It's a real drop! The history of this pot of meat, can even be traced back to the ancient times of the Son of Heaven sacrifice ceremony, not only has a long history, but also very beautiful, you will know what to call it after eating it later! Zhang Tianyuan saw that Xu Gang's saliva was about to flow down, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, this kid didn't say it well, but he actually wanted to eat it in his heart.
"Okay, okay, it's great to return to the pot, what about the husband and wife's lungs?" Xu Gang's daring is to directly treat Zhang Tianyuan as a food classic, and before eating, catch your appetite first.
According to legend, in the thirties of the twentieth century, near Shaocheng in the southern capital, there was a man named Guo Chaohua, who and his wife worked together to produce and sell cold salad lung slices. What they sell is really delicious, more than any lung slices. Not only the selection of materials, the production is also very fine, so that people see the good feeling, plus the fine seasoning, by the people's popularity, over time, people in order to distinguish from other lung tablets, they called the lung tablets sold by the Kwok couple 'husband and wife lung tablets'. ”
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Zhao Yunyu, a famous calligrapher in Shu at that time, and Mr. Zhao Yunyu, who was known as 'one of the four elders in Shuzhong', also inscribed the lung tablets of the husband and wife, is this true?" Liu Mengxun asked.
"It's true, of course, and the inscription is still there. The husband and wife lung tablets in this small shop are also jointly operated, and the taste is very authentic, so you can feast on it later. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
