Chapter 206 Tan Family Cuisine

"Brother Yang, let you, the chef, wait for me at the door, I'm really ashamed!"

As soon as the car arrived at the door of the hotel and had not yet stopped, Wang Yong saw an extremely eye-catching figure waiting at the gate through the car window.

Because this person was wearing a chef's uniform, especially the tall chef's hat, many guests who came and went took the initiative to greet him, and at a glance, they knew that this person must be Brother Yang, the chef here.

"It's done, now the big bosses in the whole capital who want to invite you to dinner and don't have a chance to eat can be lined up on Chang'an Street, you can come to eat here, that's really my honor! Of course, the most important thing is that I give you face like this, and you will definitely not be embarrassed to give me eye medicine from my uncle in the future, right? ”

After listening to Brother Yang's words, Wang Yong was very embarrassed, and his face turned red. But he quickly eased up, stared directly at Brother Yang, and said with a smile on his face: "That's not necessarily, Uncle Zhang asked me to appreciate your craftsmanship here, if the food you cook here is not delicious, I don't dare to cover for you." ”

"It's done, it's enough to have your words. Why don't you tell me about your friends? Brother Yang saw that the fat man Wang Qian and the others got out of the car, and they were about to get in front of the two of them, so he no longer chatted with this guy who felt very cordial when they first met and was very close to each other.

"Alright, everyone, now I'm going to introduce you to the chef in front of you."

Wang Yong turned back to the fat man and said to the three of them.

"This is Brother Yang Zhong, the heir of the fourth generation of Tan family cuisine, everyone is quacking and warmly welcome."

"! Brother Yang is good, I am his little Liu Wei, just call me fat. ”

The fat man slapped Wang Yong behind him, and he stepped forward to introduce himself on his own initiative.

"Oh! Hello! Hello! ”

The fat man's behavior just now surprised Yang Zhong very much. You must know that he has already learned about Wang Yong's situation through Guò Dawei and some friends before, not to mention anything else, just the name of a living immortal. It's enough to make him respected. But the fat man in front of him didn't care, and directly slapped such a famous miracle doctor in the capital almost made a mess?

It seems that this person has a good relationship with Wang Yong! And the character is also good, it is worth befriending. Yang Zhong instantly made up his mind in his heart that he must have a good relationship with this fat man.

"This is Wang Qian, Wang Yong's sister-in-law."

"Brother Yang is good!"

"Hello! Hello! ”

"Finally, I would like to introduce this one." The fat man is very exaggerated and ready to introduce this genuine princeling he just met, and show it off. But as soon as Yang Zhong saw Zhang Kai, he immediately took a step forward and shook Zhang Kai's hand. Obviously people know it!

The fat man is very depressed, what a good opportunity to show off! It's really unwilling to miss it like this!

"Zhang Shao, long time no see!"

"I'm just a college teacher. If it weren't for my local tyrant brother's treat, I wouldn't have been able to afford to eat your food here. ”

"Okay, stop inking, it'll be dawn after a while!"

Wang Yong's words aroused the unanimous eyes of everyone, but they did not object, and several people entered the hotel humbly. I took the elevator, went upstairs, and after I came to the private room and sat down, a waiter immediately brought wet wipes. Tea, several plates of dried fruits, snacks and, of course, the most important menu.

Brother Yang picked up the menu and handed it to Wang Yong. looked at him and said, "I've already made the signature dish in front, so you don't have to order it, order something else!" I'll miss out first, and today I'll get a table for you to taste my brother's craftsmanship. ”

"Done. Then you can get busy! ”

"Wang Yong, how can you match Brother Yang's brother?" After Yang Zhong left, Zhang Kai asked the doubts in his heart.

"That's a question. Before answering, I'll tell you about Tan's cuisine. Do you know the history of Tan's cuisine? ”

Wang Qian and the fat man shook their heads, Zhang Kai sat still, I think I know the story here! However, since there were two people who didn't know, Wang Yong began to make up lessons for the fat man and Wang Qian on his own.

Tanjia cuisine, also known as Bangyan cuisine, is a representative of official cuisine, which appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Tan family cuisine was created by Tan Zongjun of Hanlin in the Qing Dynasty, and was originally his private family banquet. After Tan Zongjun's death, his son Tan Zuren and his third aunt Guo Lifeng were in the middle of the family after the Xinhai Revolution, and in order to subsidize the family, the family banquet was opened. But because of his good face, he is not called a restaurant to the outside world. According to records, there was also a rule at that time, that is, a seat must be set up for the host Tan Zuren at each banquet.

In the thirties and forties, Tan Jiacai had a high reputation in the upper class society in the capital, and was favored by countless celebrities and dignitaries. But it is said that Tan Zuren did not do anything, and it was his third aunt Guo Lifeng (one said that it was Zhao Lifeng) and several domestic chefs who cooked.

In 1949, Tan Lingrou participated in the business trip, and the head chef Peng Changhai (red case), Cui Minghe (cold meat), Wu Xiuquan (white case), left the Tan family to continue to operate Tan family cuisine until 1954 when the public-private partnership was established. In 1958, under the personal arrangement of Premier Zhou, Peng Changhai and others' Tan family cuisine arrived at the Great Wall Hotel, and Tan family cuisine is still based on it. Peng Changhai's apprentice Chen Yuliang and Wang Binghe are the third generation. And now the representative figure is Wang Binghe's apprentice Yang Zhong.

"Uncle Zhang studied with Master Peng Changhai for several years in the sixties and seventies, and Chen Yuliang and Wang Binghe both had a good relationship. You understand what our relationship is this time, right? ”

"Oh, I really didn't know there was such a connection!"

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Yang Zhong came in first, followed by a waiter who served tempting delicacies.

"Brother Yang, I used to hear people say how powerful Tan family cuisine is, tell us, what are the characteristics of Tan family cuisine?" The fat man looked at the table full of food, drooling, and forced himself to find something to ask.

"Cheng, then I'll tell you about it. The characteristics of Tanjia cuisine are mainly cooked by methods such as roasting, stewing, simmering, grilling, and steaming. Pay attention to the thick soup and simmer it slowly to achieve the effect of soft texture and deliciousness. Tanjia cuisine is "good at dry goods and hair", "good at cooking sea eight treasures in soup stock". The seasoning is generally half salty and sweet, pay attention to the original taste, never need to stir-fry, generally do not use pepper, pepper and monosodium glutamate. ”

"Oh, you don't need peppercorns and MSG to cook. This is the first time I've heard of this. By the way, how many dishes do we have in Tan's cuisine? What are the most famous? The fat man didn't know why he didn't put down the chopsticks, but carefully inquired about the Tan family's dishes.

Yang Zhong didn't mind, these things didn't have to be kept secret, and besides, he was very pleasing to the fat man, and he couldn't afford to provoke Wang Yong's hair, so he explained to him again without the slightest hesitation.

"There are about more than 300 dishes in the Tan family's cuisine, including the sea eight treasures of the Ming Dynasty. Braised shark fin, braised shark fin. Shark's fin in casserole, bird's nest in clear soup, duck in chai sum, and black cucumber in cabbage. Monk prawns and other dishes are extremely popular with diners. ”

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a bowl of shark fin in front of everyone and said, "Tan's cuisine is most famous for the cooking of shark fin and bird's nest. In particular, the hair preparation of shark fin is soaked in warm water, and there is absolutely no need for caustic soda to rush it. so as not to destroy the nutrients. ”

Seeing that several people were quietly listening to themselves talking about the characteristics of Tan's cuisine, Yang Zhong, who was very proud in his heart, continued to introduce:

"Besides, this soup is made with a whole peasant hen. Whole duck, scallops, ham in proportion, simmer for two days, the chicken and duck are completely boiled, dissolved in the soup, then the shark fin is put into the resulting thick soup, and simmered for a day. The shark fin produced in this way is juicy and thick, soft and smooth to eat, and extremely delicious. ”

"No, let Brother Yang say this, I really can't help it." After the fat man finished speaking, he unceremoniously picked up the bowl of shark fin in front of Wang Yong and drank it all, which was very bold.

Wang Yong looked at the fat man with wide eyes, his face was red with anger, he pointed at him with his finger, and couldn't say a word.

"I want to give you a taste of whether it's hot or not? I didn't expect shark fin to be so delicious, I couldn't hold back it for a while, and I poured it into my mouth. After speaking, this guy then picked up the bowl of shark fin in front of him, according to his understanding, Wang Yong would not give up, and would definitely snatch his own bowl.

Who knew that Wang Yong didn't even look at him, and continued to stare at Brother Yang, waiting for him to continue. Yang Zhong was speechless about the fat man's behavior, and saw that Wang Yong was still waiting for him to continue, so he continued:

"The shark fin is the best in yellow stew, and the yellow braised shark fin in Tan family cuisine is made of the most precious Luzon yellow fin, and the whole fin is eaten."

Speaking of this, he pointed to another bowl and said, "This is another specialty dish of Tan's cuisine, clear soup bird's nest." In the treatment of bird's nest, it is generally soaked in warm water for three hours, and then rinsed repeatedly to select all the bird's feathers and impurities. After soaking, put it in a large soup bowl, pour in an appropriate amount of chicken broth, steam it for 20 to 30 minutes, take it out and divide it into a small soup bowl. Then bring the clear soup to a boil, add cooking wine, sugar, salt, and sprinkle a few finely chopped ham shreds in each bowl to make it delicious, and it can be served. The soup of this dish is as clear as water, slightly beige, delicious, the bird's nest is soft and smooth, the nutritional value is extremely high, and it is suitable for all ages. ”

As soon as the words fell, before everyone could react, Wang Yong had already picked up his bowl of bird's nest and took a bite, but after swallowing it, he frowned, just when everyone was puzzled, this person slowly brought the bowl of bird's nest in front of the fat man, and began to pour the whole bowl in his mouth unhurriedly.

The fat man who understood the taste was stunned and wanted to slap himself. knew that Wang Yong would definitely refuse to suffer a dumb loss, but in the end, he still suffered from his way, and it was too late to regret it!

Ignoring the fat man's regret of hanging his feet, others began to slowly enjoy the delicious and nutritious bird's nest.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you? You don't like to eat shark fin, so at that time, you deliberately asked me to take your share, just for this bowl of bird's nest, right? The fat man watched the others eat bird's nest weakly, and said with saliva.

"Wipe your saliva first, it's too embarrassing for us!"

Hearing Wang Yong say this, the fat man quickly touched the corner of his mouth with his hand, no! In an instant, I understood that this was his way again?

"What's so good about shark fin? Science has proven that shark fin has no nutritional value. The most important thing is that I am very disgusted with eating shark fin, and the shark fin at our table means that at least one shark has been killed! I can't bear it! (To be continued......)
