Chapter 68: The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix
At noon, several off-road vehicles with military plates drove into the courtyard, and seven or eight middle-aged men in civilian clothes got out of the cars.
"Shao Bing, this is the restaurant opened by your wife and niece, the environment is good!" said one of the Chinese characters.
"Mo Ran is talking every day that I have to come to cheer for me, this will not be cheap for you. "Shao Bing, forty-five years old, a regimental-level cadre, is an officer representative of the Shaozhuang faction of the Chengdu Military Region, and he is also Han Moran's husband, and he is a battalion and regiment-level cadre who came with him today.
"Haha, it's hard to kill you once, so you can steal the fun!"
"Welcome, gentlemen?"
"Eight"
……
At this moment, two more commercial vehicles slowly drove up, and a few older people got out of the cars, who looked like literati.
"Lao Guo, is there really someone here who can make fresh crucian carp and silver silk fish?" one of them asked.
"No, I saw it on TV. The man named Lao Guo said.
There is such a sentence in Du Fu's poem, but after all, the cooking technique and the type of fish are not very clear, and I am afraid that it is a gimmick made by the chef. Another middle-aged man in the crowd said.
"Okay, Lao Huang, Lao Qin, go in and taste it, and you'll know it. The person called Lao Guo shouted.
……
If you have a little eyesight, you will definitely be able to recognize these old brothers, one of them is the editor-in-chief of Chengdu Business Daily, the other is a professor of Guwen at Sacheon University, and the other is the vice president of the Provincial Hospital, and the others are also well-known figures of Chengdu Zuo Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
When the elder brother came to the restaurant and asked for a private room, when he ordered, the person named Lao Guo said, "Girl, I heard that you can customize dishes here?"
The waiter glanced at him and said with a smile: "Uncle, you must be over sixty years old, I see that several uncles are still young!"
"Haha, this girl doll can talk."
"Lao Guo, do you dare to tell people's age?"
"Little girl, we can all be your grandfather!"
……
Lao Guo said with a smile: "Isn't it enough that our brothers are all hundreds of years old." ”
The waiter smiled awkwardly.
Lao Guo no longer teased her and said seriously: "In this way, you ask the chef to cook us a few dishes related to poetry and songs." ”
"Okay, then I'll ask the manager. ”
……
In the back kitchen, You was busy with one hand, just now Yang Shuang came to tell him, saying that a few old people had ordered dishes related to poetry and songs, You Yiyi said that there were not a few dishes with ancient rhyme, and the latter told him that the guests wanted to eat something special.
You Yishou thought about it, and he could only do the "phoenix seeking phoenix" he had just learned.
The key to this dish lies in the "artistic conception", as for the two dishes of one hot and one cold, especially the one hand intends to use the Bazhen chicken to make the phoenix Ming, and use the vegetable roll to make the duck meat pose the shape of a hundred birds and a phoenix, this dish he will use the gloomy ecstasy palm to cook, last night in the ancient Shaolin kitchen Xiao Qiao emotionally told him the story of the phoenix, especially after hearing it was very touched, after practice he can barely make it.
The female phoenix is carved with watermelon, and the male phoenix is carved with a winter melon, to combine the two, the two phoenixes need to have different forms, just like two lovers hugging together, the focus is on the wings, in order to make this dish, you specially invited a short leave to enter the ancient Shaolin kitchen carving, otherwise an hour in the outside world is far from enough.
Half an hour later, You returned to the back kitchen with the phoenix in one hand, this dish can be said to be the most expressive dish You Yishou has made so far, not how precious its ingredients are, nor how realistic the phoenix is, but this dish integrates his perception of love, and the dish that comes out of this way can move people's hearts the most.
When this phoenix was served on the table, several uncles got up and stepped forward to watch, such an elaborate thing turned out to be a dish, it was too tyrannical.
"There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall. The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt. When I see Xu Xi one day, I am hesitant. I am willing to match virtue and join hands. I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed. The phoenix returns to his hometown and travels all over the world to seek his phoenix. There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines. What is the fate of the neck for the mandarin ducks, the beard and the cheeks soar together! The phoenix and the phoenix are from my habitat, and they have to be the concubine forever. Friendship and harmony of heart, who knows from the middle of the night? When Lao Qin read out the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", everyone at the scene applauded.
"This dish reminds me of "Death and Life are broad," said Zicheng. Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son", anonymous "Book of Poetry, Wind and Drumming".
"Wonderful, I'll have a song, if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight" Qin Guan's "Queqiao Immortal".
"Lao Huang, you should not be in this song, listen to my "Lovesick and Knowing When to See Each Other, I am embarrassed at this night", Li Bai's "Three Five Seven Words".
"No, no, no, it's still Li Shangyin's untitled that is most suitable for this situation," the body has no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear. ”
……
The scene suddenly became a poetry fighting conference, and several soldiers on the other side were also having fun.
"Lao Shao, the dishes in this restaurant are really amazing. ”
"When I go back, I have to ask the secretary of the regiment to study hard."
"That is, the food cooked by our group must also be improved. ”
"Last time, the heads of other military regions came to us for exchanges and wanted to eat some Cantonese food, but the military canteen of Nuoda couldn't find a master who could cook Cantonese food, and in the end he had no choice but to go to the local restaurant to eat. ”
"Haha"
……
During this period, Han Yufei also rushed to the restaurant, and when she learned that her little uncle was eating upstairs, she went up to say hello.
"Uncle, why do you have time to come to me today, I usually don't even ask you. Han Yufei teased.
"Hey, it's not that your sister-in-law is nagging me every day, saying that your restaurant is reopening and asking me to bring my comrades-in-arms to cheer me on. Shao Bing said with a grievance.
"Giggles, it's still my sister-in-law who hurts me. Han Yufei said with a smile.
"That's not it, come to Yufei, and introduce you to my comrades-in-arms. Shao Bing got up and said.
……
"Uncle, I'm afraid you won't be able to come in the future, because this restaurant is about to close completely. Han Yufei said with some loss.
Shao Bing thought that someone was bullying Han Yufei, but he said angrily: "What's wrong Yufei, why didn't the restaurant open well, is someone bullying you, tell my uncle that I will be angry for you." ”
"Nobody bullied me, it's just that my chef here is leaving after a month. Han Yufei said sadly, everything will be short-lived.
"Is it because of the low salary, or is there some other reason?" Shao Bing wondered.
"No, it's that he wants to go out to learn art. Han Yufei said.
"Why don't you talk to him?"
"It's useless, he has made up his mind, and besides, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”
