Chapter 34: The Wisdom of the Masses
When this plate of mapo tofu was served to the noodles of the four little girls, it immediately attracted their attention. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This plate of mapo tofu is different from the mapo tofu in other restaurants, the soup is dark red and bright, the tofu is snow-white, the shape is not rotten, and it is decorated with green shallots, and the whole dish is red, white and green.
"Our Chef Ling said that this mapo tofu will be served immediately after it is cooked, and please eat it as soon as possible." Waiter Xiao Cui said.
"But this dish is so hot, why do you eat it now, you see it's still steaming." The little girl pouted.
"That's what you don't understand, kids." At this time, Lao Ma suddenly appeared beside the four little girls, "Authentic mapo tofu pays attention to numb, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh, and live, which is called the eight-character proverb." And this hot means that the pot is immediately served and eaten immediately. ”
After speaking, the old horse showed a kind smile, "Of course, on the basis of being careful of being burned in the mouth." ”
A little joke, Lao Ma saw a few girls pursing their lips and smiling, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Hello children, see that this little girl is wearing the uniform of a foreign Chinese high school, you are from Z City Foreign Chinese High School." Come out and relax on the weekend. So saying, the old horse dragged a stool and sat down.
A few little girls looked at each other, and they didn't know what this person was going to do, they were eating, and they didn't know each other, so why did they sit down and set up.
"It's a coincidence, I'm classmates with your Principal Zhao, hahaha." Lao Ma laughed a few times, and seeing that several classmates did not react, he put away the exaggerated laughter a little embarrassed and pretended to cough twice.
"I'm not going to hide it, I was really amazed when I saw this plate of mapo tofu today, so I want to buy this dish with a cheeky old face, do you think it's okay?"
It turns out that I did so much foreshadowing, and I wanted to buy this dish.
One girl looked at the other people and saw that everyone shook their heads, and it seemed that their opinions were unanimous.
"Sir, I'm really sorry, we finally won the prize, and we didn't plan to sell this dish."
Seeing that the little girl refused, Lao Ma was a little anxious, "The price of this dish is 288 according to Chef Ling, and I will pay double it." ”
The little girl still shook her head, doubling Chef Ling's dishes, this has already been posted in the forum, but they are all seconds sinking, and a few people who have tasted Chef Ling's cooking skills say that Chef Ling's dishes can't be bought for any amount of money.
That's still on the Internet, and now that such a plate of one-of-a-kind mapo tofu is in front of them, how can they sell it easily.
The old horse's hands on his lap rubbed his trousers, if the price was increased further, it would be a bit insulting to this delicacy, how could such a delicacy be measured in money.
"Well, I'll just take one bite, I'll scoop a spoonful with a spoon, and then this dish will be counted as the one I invited you to eat."
A few little girls looked at each other again, this proposal didn't seem to have any loss to them, and they were a lot older, and they all moved Principal Zhao out just now, and it was not good to refuse all the time.
"Okay then, but only one scoop."
Seeing that the people finally agreed, the old horse was excited, and quickly asked the waiter for a new spoon, scooped a spoonful, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.
Numb, spicy, hot, crispy, tender, fresh, live six words, each proverb one by one in the mouth to cash, as for the fragrant word proverbs, before he experienced, the most commendable is the movable word proverbs, live refers to the tofu on the table, inch long garlic seedlings, in the bowl root upright, green and blue, the oil is very bright, as if just picked and chopped from the furrow, vivid, but the entrance of the clip, are all ripe, no jerky taste. Legend has it that only Chen Mapo, the founder of mapo tofu, can do this, but at this moment, the fragrant garlic sprout taste is swinging in the mouth, Lao Ma has never eaten the ancient Chen mapo tofu, but at this moment, he is sure that the ancient method of mapo tofu is definitely this taste.
No, why is there something else flowing on the tip of the tongue besides these?
The old horse closed his eyes tightly, carefully searching for the sensation of the moment. A picture emerges before my eyes.
Beside the Wanfu Bridge, the porters took the tofu and beef they brought and handed them to a woman next to the bridge, and the women used their own vegetable oil to help the porters cook the food with their hearts.
Seeing that the porters were grinning with their scalding teeth and still pushing them into their mouths, the woman laughed happily, and the few obvious pockmarks on her face were no longer so obvious.
A tear slipped from the old horse's eyes.
Could this be the origin of this dish? Isn't that the origin I've been pursuing? Could it be that this dish is telling me its story? It must be so, but how is it possible?
The old horse felt the magical power of this dish again and again, and breathed deeply again and again, relieving his almost irrepressible excitement, and finally, the old horse slowly opened his eyes, just to see a few little girls eating mapo tofu in an instant.
"Damn, why is this dish so delicious!" A few little girls have already scraped the plates clean with chopsticks.
"There's still a little juice here, I'll do it." A girl with short hair, who looked more feminine, picked up the plate and licked it clean.
"Tingting, what are you doing, there are so many people." The other girl had a disgusted face, and the girl sitting next to her looked at Tingting with resentment, "I fainted, and she took the lead." ”
Lao Ma left 300 yuan on the stage and walked to the front desk with some distraction.
"Little girl, I want to meet your Chef Ling."
"Oh, I'm sorry, our chef said we weren't allowed to take guests to him."
Lao Ma didn't care about people's refusals, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, "I have something very important to look for him." ”
"Old man, I'm really sorry, our Chef Ling's temper is like this, if you don't see it, you can't see it," Seeing Lao Ma's extremely disappointed expression, the waiter was a little unbearable, "Besides, he leaves after cooking every day, you want to see him, come back tomorrow." ”
Ling Xiaojun sat on the bus and looked out the window boredly.
"Ding, master, congratulations on your harvest of a worship value. This worship value comes from a customer. ”
Oh? Customer? Isn't it said that on the one hand, there can only be one level of worship? Ling Xiaojun thought about it, maybe it was because he also loved cooking very much.
"Although there is still a long way to go from a thousand worship points, I still thank him for helping me complete the collection of the first worship value." Ling Xiaojun had a worship value before, but he used it up when he opened his brain space, so this worship value is the only worship value he has at the moment.
When he got home, Ling Xiaojun first turned on his mobile phone, he wanted to see the comments on the food online about Wangxue Restaurant, he hadn't read it for a few days, how did it evolve into the current situation.
However, to his surprise, in the comment area of Wangxue Restaurant, almost all of them were occupied by the same kind of posts. And these posts were all made at noon.
"Vegetable group, twenty-person group, tomorrow morning at half past ten."
"Vegetable group, thirty-person group, half past ten tomorrow morning."
Ling Xiaojun had heard of carpooling and group buying, but he had never heard of a vegetable group, so he kept scrolling up and found the first post of a vegetable group, which he had just sent out shortly after the lottery, and Ling Xiaojun clicked in.
"At noon today, because there are too many people who specialize with Chef Ling, so Wangxue Restaurant adopted the method of lottery, and then I learned with the proprietress (the proprietress is super super super beautiful, and the important thing is said three times) that in the future, I will draw the right to taste Chef Ling's dishes in this way, and after losing again, I learned from the pain and deeply reflected, why I have not tasted Chef Ling's food? Watching other people say in the post that after tasting Chef Ling's cooking skills, how it was, it was unforgettable, my heart was bleeding, and then I finally figured out that it was all because of me, too greedy. ”
"Why do I want to have such a meal to myself every time? Why don't I share it? ”
"So I finally thought of a way, that is, the vegetable group, if there are twenty people in this group, then our chances of winning the lottery will be increased twenty times, once we win the lottery, order a bigger dish, the price is evenly shared, everyone shares together, although it is just a mouthful, but it is better than watching others eat it every fucking time!"
Ling Xiaojun shook his head, he had to admire, the wisdom of the masses was endless, he Ling Tian had a problem of one dish a day, and others crushed him with "vegetable dumplings" in minutes.
