"I've been waiting for a long time, an absolutely delicious Buddha jumping over the wall will be delivered, but don't bite your tongue!" Zhang Xiao gently placed the Buddha jumping over the wall in his hand on the table, with a confident smile on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A small jar sealed the mouth of the altar with lotus leaves, without the slightest aroma overflowing, was solemnly placed in the middle of the table by Zhang Xiao, Chang Xiao looked at Zhang Xiao, and then looked at the small jar in the center of the table, his eyes were very curious, Buddha jumping over the wall he has always only heard of its name, never really tasted, but about the legend of Buddha jumping over the wall, he has heard a lot.

Zhang Xiao looked at the two people with anticipation on their faces, slowly opened the lid of the altar, and a rich aroma wafted out of the small jar in an instant, making Chang Xiao's face suddenly show a look of intoxication, and the legends he had heard in the past also involuntarily appeared clearly in his mind one by one.

There are three sayings about the Buddha jumping over the wall, one is from the Qing Dynasty, the Fuzhou Official Money Bureau, an official is the political envoy Zhou Lian, specially ordered the family to personally cook, with Shaoxing wine jar chicken, duck, mutton, pork belly, pigeon eggs and seafood and other more than 20 kinds of raw and auxiliary materials, simmered, named Fu Shouquan. After Zhou Lian tasted it, she was full of praise. When asked about the name of the dish, the official said that the dish means "auspicious and longevity", and the name is "Fushouquan".

Later, Zhou Lian's chef Zheng Chunfa, after learning the method of cooking this dish, improved it in subtle ways, and the taste was far better than the former. Later, when Zheng Chunfa established the "Juchunyuan" restaurant by himself, he used this dish as the signature dish of the restaurant. One day, a group of literati and ink writers came to taste this dish, when Fu Shouquan went to the altar, the fragrance overflowed, one of them was fascinated by the show, triggered the poetry, immediately chanted loudly: "The altar opens the meat incense floating in the neighborhood, and the Buddha hears and abandons Zen and jumps over the wall."

The second theory about the Buddha jumping over the wall is that FJ has a traditional custom that on the third day after the new daughter-in-law gets married, she must cook in person to show her tea and rice skills, serve her in-laws, and win appreciation. Legend has it that a rich girl, pampered, not accustomed to cooking, was sad on the eve of her marriage. Her mother took out all the delicacies of the family and made all kinds of dishes, wrapped them in lotus leaves one by one, and then told her how to cook them. The day before yesterday, who knew that this young lady was so dizzy that she forgot all the cooking methods, and in a hurry, she poured all the dishes into a Shaojiu jar, covered them with lotus leaves, and put them on the stove. The next day, the strong fragrance wafted out, and the family praised the good dishes, which was the origin of the "Buddha jumping over the wall" of "eighteen dishes boiled in one pot".

The third saying is that the Tang Dynasty's high monk Xuanquan, on the way to FJ Shaolin Temple, passed through the "Fujian capital" Fuzhou, stayed overnight in the hotel, just across the wall of the noble official's house to "Fu Shou Quan" banquet guests, the fragrance wafted a radius of several miles, Xuan Quan smelled the salivation, the desire of the heart rose, and instantly abandoned the Buddhism for many years of practice in disregard, jumped over the wall and enjoyed the "Fu Shou Quan". And the name "Buddha jumping over the wall" also comes from this.

The three legends, no matter which one they are, all show that the Buddha jumping over the wall is a rare and beautiful thing, whether it is a high-ranking official or a monk who has achieved cultivation, it is difficult to resist its charm and be fascinated by it.

The three legends flashed in his mind, with the rich aroma, so that the desire in his heart suddenly climbed to the maximum, watching the altar lid leave little by little, the Buddha hidden in the altar jumped over the wall about to reveal his true face, at this time, a trace of doubt in his heart, or curiosity.

There are dozens of raw materials for Buddha jumping over the wall, among which he knows sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, dried scallops, fish lips, turtle skirts, deer tendons, pigeon eggs, duck treasures, fish maw, fish maw, scallops, pigeons, pork ribs, ham, pork belly, lamb's elbow, hoof tips, hoof tendons, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, but the small jar in the center of the table is not at all like it can hold dozens of materials, and the rich aroma that wafts out leisurely is constantly persuading him to ignore the ideas in his mind, and grasping the present is the most important thing.

Finally, the lid of the altar completely left the altar, the heat rushed out, the aroma was enhanced several times in an instant, the ingredients hidden in the jar also revealed the true face of Lushan, the rich soup exuded an incomparably attractive aroma, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallops, quail eggs, abalone, white fungus, vermicelli, chicken legs, duck legs can be seen at a glance.

Zhang Xiao picked up the prepared bowl and spoon, filled a bowl for everyone, Chang Xiao looked at the bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall in front of him, first sniffed deeply, and inhaled the rich aroma into his nose, the fragrance was refreshing, just smelling the aroma had already made Chang Xiao show a deep enjoyment.

The aroma includes pork bones, chicken, duck meat, and seafood with abalone as the core, while vegetables perfectly blend the two aromas together, making the aroma strong but not greasy, refreshing but not greasy.

Chang Xiao picked up the spoon, put a spoonful of soup exuding heat and aroma, put it in his mouth, and for a moment Chang Xiao felt that his whole person was surrounded by wonderful taste, immersed in it and could not extricate himself, the aroma of meat and seafood was distinct, and the taste of vegetables was mixed in, just right to dissipate the greasy taste of meat and seafood too fresh, so that the soup reached the most perfect level.

The picture scroll that emerged in my mind did not unfold slowly as before, this time the whole picture scroll was completely unfolded in an instant, and after only a moment, it turned into a three-dimensional small space, and there were many ingredients floating in the small space, such as mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallops, quail eggs, abalone, white fungus, vermicelli, chicken legs, duck legs, thigh bones, chicken gizzards, green onions, ginger, rock sugar, lotus leaves, cinnamon, etc., all the materials of the Buddha jumping over the wall were clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

Each ingredient exudes its own unique aroma, and at the same time, they are constantly jumping, as if they are alive, and for a moment Chang Xiao feels as if he has become smaller into this space, and the ingredients that originally seemed small suddenly became huge, and some of the ingredients even made him feel a little pressure.

Every time he walks through an ingredient, he can clearly feel the purest and most natural taste of the ingredient, which is not affected by any other factors, and Chang Xiao enjoys this taste very much.

One step or a few steps, he can walk through an ingredient, and in the end he doesn't know how far he has walked, how many steps he has walked, anyway, he feels the truest taste of all the ingredients, he enjoys it all the way, until he walks through the last ingredient, he is still immersed in it, and he can't extricate himself for a long time!

After walking through the area of various ingredients, he finally came to a mysterious place shrouded in a thin white mist, Chang smiled and looked at this mysterious place shrouded in mist, his eyes revealed a thick curiosity, and his face couldn't help but have a look of eagerness to try.
