38. Buddha jumps over the wall

Ning Xi was preparing in the kitchen, and Rong Daquan came over: "Ning Xi, what dishes are you going to prepare for the fifth ...... today?" Rong Daquan didn't expect Ningxi to really have this face, and invited the five princes to come on the opening day, although with Ningxi's craftsmanship, it is not strange that the five princes will come here to eat, but when it opens, they also give gifts to her, which is obviously a matter of saving face for her, but it is not an ordinary friendship.

It seems that Ning Xi doesn't know the true identity of the five princes, right? These royal relatives and nobles love to play a micro-service private interview or something when they have nothing to do, and it is fun to deceive people, but as Ning Xi's teammate, of course she should tell her the truth, otherwise she accidentally said the wrong thing and got into trouble.

Thinking of this, Rong Daquan cleared his throat and said, "Ning Xi, do you know who this Fifth Master is?" ”

Ning Xi thought for a while and said: "The fifth master of the king has the same surname as the prince of Qi, but he is a distinguished guest who even the palace of the king of Qi has to receive him diligently, so he must be a noble person whose identity is still above the prince of the prince of Qi!" ”

Rong Da said wholeheartedly, it turns out that this kid is not stupid, "Then why are you ......?"

"Since he calls himself the fifth master of the king, then I will treat him as the fifth master of the king, I Ningxi is an upright person, An An does things separately, and he relies on his own hands to live and die, not some crooked ways that cling to the powerful, why do you want to think so much?"

Rong Daquan sighed: "I didn't expect that I Rong Daquan lived at this age in vain, but I don't think as clearly as you!" ”

Ning Xi said with a smile: "Brother Rong, it's just that everyone has a different concept of how to behave and behave, to be honest, I also know that according to my temperament, I will have to suffer a little loss, and in the future, I will have to rely on Brother Rong for more guidance in terms of human sophistication!" ”

"Where can I say any guidance, but we are all people in the same boat now, so we naturally have to work together to make our restaurant a good one. By the way, you haven't told me yet, what are you going to do today! ”

Ning Xi smiled slightly, and pointed to a jar on the stove that had been simmering slowly over a slight fire: "Jun Wuye gave Ning Xi face like this, I naturally can't be lazy, this is what I prepared, Buddha jumped over the wall." ”

The altar was dark and heavy, and there was nothing unusual to see, and the mouth of the altar was sealed very tightly, and there was not even a trace of taste, and Rong Daquan couldn't see it at all: "What is this Buddha jumping over the wall?" ”

"Even the respected old monk can't help but climb over the wall to steal the good things he eats after smelling the fragrance."

"Oh, I remember, you went around collecting all kinds of rare and rare ingredients a few days ago, and you spent so many days in the kitchen, so you were making this jar of things!"

"Isn't it, it takes a lot of effort to make this dish, it's enough to show my sincerity, right?" Ning Xi didn't hide his secrets, and seeing that Rong Daquan was curious, he simply explained it to him in detail.

Buddha jumping over the wall is a meat dish, the required raw materials are very much, and set the delicacies of the mountains and seas in one, in this world that is not good at making meat, to collect these raw materials is to collect all the raw materials but it takes Ningxi's boss to make a lot of effort, there are sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fin, dried scallops, fish lips, turtle skirts, deer tendons, pigeon eggs, duck Zhen, fish maw, fish maw, scallops, pigeons, ribs, razor clams, ham, pork belly, lamb's elbow, hoof tip, hoof tendon, old mother ** breast, yellow-billed duck breast, chicken gizzard, duck gizzard, mushroom, winter bamboo shoots and so on.

Each raw material, to use different methods to deal with first, to soak in water first, or fry or fry or cook or fry, this step is the most laborious, such as shark fin, it is necessary to first water and then go to sand, neatly arranged on the bamboo grate, put into the pot of boiling water to add green onions, ginger slices and Shao wine steamed to remove its fishy smell, and then put the pig fat meat on the shark fin, add Shao wine to the cage drawer and steam for an hour before taking out, pick off the fat meat, decant the steamed juice, put aside for later use.

Rao is a craft like Ningxi, all the raw materials are concocted, and it took three days, and finally the raw materials prepared by each other are stacked layer by layer in the Shaoxing wine jar, and the soup and Shaoxing wine are added, so that the soup, wine and vegetables are fully integrated.

Simmering Buddha jumping over the wall pays attention to the storage of fragrance and flavor, so it is necessary to seal the mouth of the altar tightly with lotus leaves and then cover the lid, and then choose the white charcoal that is solid and does not smoke, first boil with a fire, and simmer slowly for five or six hours before it is completed.

Rong Daquan's eyes lit up when he heard it, so many precious ingredients, such a complicated method, just listening to it, he felt that the taste must be delicious!

"Is that done now?" Rong Daquan sniffed, but unfortunately he still couldn't feel any taste.

"Come here." Ning Xi hooked his finger at him, "Are you ready?" I'm about to open the lid! ”

Ning Xi opened the lid and slowly lifted the lotus leaf on the mouth of the altar, the lotus leaf had just opened a crack, and a rich aroma overflowed, as if it was a tangible and qualitative entity that rushed straight into Rong Daquan's nose, even if he was mentally prepared, he could only stand stunned at this moment, unable to move at all.

As the whole lotus leaf was lifted, the busy crowd outside all gathered at the door of this small kitchen dedicated to Ningxi, stretched out their noses and inhaled, unwilling to miss every sip of the ultimate aroma: "What kind of smell is this?" Even if the most delicious food in the world is combined, I am afraid that it will not have such an aroma! ”

Ning Xi poured the vegetables in the jar into a large basin of white porcelain pastel, put the pigeon eggs on top, and touched Rong Daquan, who was still in a daze: "What are you still doing, help deliver the vegetables!" ”

Rong Daquan's gaze moved with difficulty from the thick brown and thick but not greasy Buddha jumping on the wall of this pot of soup, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said carefully: "Ningxi, can I taste it?" ”

Ning Xi pointed to the wine jar: "Yours are indispensable, you still have it here, and I'll eat it when I come back." ”

Rong Daquan jumped over the wall with a heavy pot of Buddha, Ning Xi walked beside him, and on the tray in his hand were a few dishes of side dishes, such as radishes, ham mixed with bean sprouts, fried bean sprouts with mushrooms, and two plates of silver silk rolls and sesame baked cakes, which were used for food.

More than a dozen people at the kitchen door watched the two of them slowly walk in front of them, leaving only a strange fragrance, "Such a fragrant thing, if you can give me a bite, I will have no regrets in this life." ”

Today's pot of Buddha jumped over the wall, of course, entertaining not only Jun Qianyu and Jun Shaofeng, but also a large group of Jun Shaofeng's fox friends and dog friends, who are also heads and faces in the capital, at first Jun Shaofeng had to let them come to cheer for a little girl and still didn't understand a little, and said some joking words in his mouth, until the two appeared at the door of the private room, and the aroma of wine and vegetables wafted in, and no one in the room said a word more.

There were also guests in the lobby who smelled this aroma, which caused Xiao Er to ask, "What is it, so fragrant?" ”

The little second smiled and said: "This is the Buddha jumping over the wall made by our shopkeeper himself, and he only entertains distinguished guests." ”

The man reluctant: "Aren't we guests?" Then what Buddha jumped over the wall, let's also give us a copy. ”

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry, it's not that we don't sell it to you, it's really that this dish is complicated and time-consuming, our host said that if you want to eat this dish, you have to book ten days in advance, five hundred taels of silver."

"Forget it, if there are any other delicious foods in your store, tell me about them."

"Great! I don't know what flavor you like, we ...... here."

An Mingyue was naturally spoiled by this fragrance, and when Ning Xi walked away, she opened her hands and drove away all the onlookers: "Go, go, what are you standing here for?" Don't have to work? ”

After everyone dispersed, An Mingyue walked into the kitchen quickly, opened the lid and took a deep breath, and hurriedly found a pair of chopsticks and was about to reach in: "This must be delicious, no, I must taste it." ”

I just picked up a piece and was about to put it in my mouth, when suddenly there was a coquettish shout at the door: "What are you doing here?" Meng Shuangshuang knew that it would definitely be no good for this eldest lady to come over, so he came over to take a look, and sure enough, he ate it secretly!

An Mingyue smiled: "I just tasted it." ”

Meng Shuangshuang said solemnly: "It's not okay to taste it, this is what Ningxi uses to entertain distinguished guests, and it was eaten by you, what if something goes wrong." ”

"I'll just take a bite."

"Not a bite." Meng Shuangshuang came over to grab An Mingyue's chopsticks, and inadvertently saw the Buddha jumping over the wall in the altar, and paused and said, "Or, just take a bite?" ”

"Uh-huh!" An Mingyue nodded violently.

The two of them took a bite each with a pair of chopsticks, and An Mingyue said: "God, it's so delicious, where is one bite enough, can you eat one more bite?" Suddenly, I found that Meng Shuang's eyes were full of tears, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's too much, how can there be such delicious things in this world!" Meng Shuangshuang wiped her tears, threw off her arms and ate it, it turned out that she was so delicious that she cried, An Mingyue was not to be outdone, and pounced on her chopsticks, "Don't eat so fast, I want it too!" ”

By the time Rong Daquan and Ning Xi finished delivering the dishes and returned to the small kitchen excitedly, the remaining small half of the Buddha jumping over the wall had been eaten by the two evil ghost reincarnated women, and the two were fighting to scrape the remaining bit of soup under the jar with a spoon: "Hey, you've eaten two bites, it's my turn." ”

Rong Daquan roared angrily: "What are you two doing!" ”

An Mingyue, who was holding the jar, was frightened by this huge sound, and as soon as her hand was released, the jar fell to the ground with a "snap" and shattered into several petals.

"What are you doing, you haven't finished eating here!" Meng Shuangshuang was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and quickly squatted down to pick up the broken tile that was still stained with the most soup under the jar, "What a waste!" ”

Rong Daquan rushed over and snatched the broken tile from her hand: "This is mine!" Carefully licking all the soup into his mouth, he closed his eyes and savored it for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened angrily, and he grabbed a person's neck with one hand, and grabbed the two women and shook them like chickens: "Spit it out, you spit it out for me!" ”
