15. The restaurant is newly opened, and the gambling stone is gambling
A week later.
The cooking class is still the original cooking class.
But the old diners are careful to find that the reopened cooking class is a little different.
The first thing that has changed is the dress of the waiter, although it is still a military uniform, not to be exact, it is a military-style clothing, worn on these handsome guys and beautiful women with obvious military temperament, which looks extraordinarily spiritual and extraordinarily dazzling.
The handsome man and the heroic woman can't help but make people look at it a few more times.
When the menu came up, they were attracted by the names of the dishes on it, and they couldn't help but smile knowingly, calling the boss talented.
It turns out that every dish on this menu is a poem or a sentence, mixed with the name of the dish, which makes people feel extremely interesting.
Here are some excerpts for everyone to comment: Fangcao Road, Yuguan, looking at the place, "black pepper beef ribs".
"Chopped pepper steamed fresh yam", wild flowers and herbs, lonely mountain road.
The small garden incense path wanders alone, "fresh mushroom steak baby cabbage".
……
However, when I saw the price behind, I couldn't help complaining: "I said beauty, you guys made an interesting dish name, and the price went up, it's too profiteer." ”
"Hehe, sir. We don't raise prices indiscriminately, as long as you eat it, I'm sure you'll give a thumbs up and say that the price is worth it. The trained waiters replied skillfully.
"Huh, huh? If it's not delicious, I won't pay for it. The familiar diner laughed and joked.
"So what's the matter, maybe when you are happy, maybe you will reward us with some more consumption." The waiter smiled and flattered.
"It's so sweet with a small mouth." The diners pointed to the waiter and smiled.
When the dish came up, the tempting aroma came to the nostrils, and the greedy people were full of relish, but everyone was shocked by the delicacies that were full of poetry and picturesqueness like works of art, and they were reluctant to put down the chopsticks for a long time, lest they spoil the picturesque scenery on the plate.
So they took out their mobile phones, pressed the shutter, and took pictures of each dish from all angles, and then carefully put down the chopsticks.
"Wow, that's delicious." After tasting it, one diner sighed heartily.
"Well, if you don't pay it back, it's still the same taste, and it hasn't changed." This is a regular customer.
"Value, true value. It has a fight with Yijia cuisine, and the price is much cheaper than Yijia cuisine. It looks like the boss is a kind person. It is said that the owner of Yijia cuisine is also his chef's ancestor is Yi Ya, and the ancestors of the later generations have been in the palace as the imperial chef, which can be described as an ancestral skill, although the Yi family is not in the palace as an errand boy, but the ancestral craftsmanship can not be lost, so the Yi family with a business vision opened a private club based on catering, with amazing cooking skills, shrewd business methods and broad connections, In just a few decades, Yijia cuisine has become a private restaurant on the same level as Tan cuisine in the north. Yijia cuisine has also become the favorite dining place for the upper class people in S City, where to taste delicious food while also showing their social status and economic strength. You must know where a table of dishes may be worth a year's food and drink for an ordinary family.
The Yi Ya mentioned here, also written as Di Ya, was a famous chef in the Spring and Autumn Period, the first chef to use condiments to cook, the cooking skills were very high, and he was the first person to open a private restaurant, so he was called the ancestor by the chefs.
At the same time, he is also a chef specializing in the diet of Qi Huan, because he is good at seasoning, Wang Chong's "On Heng and Punishment" said: "The seasoning of Di Ya is also, the sour is wo (poured) with water, and the light is added to it, and there is a poem in the old Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu) of water and fire: "Yongwu is good at the ancestor Peng Keng, (Yongwu: that is, Yi Ya, Peng Keng: that is, Peng Zu) Sanfang seeks to learn from ancient Pengcheng." The princes of Jiuhui Ren Si Ku (Jiuhui princes: refers to the Duke of Qi Huan "Jiuhe princes, a Kuang world. "Ku: Kitchen, Si, that is, the official in charge of the diet) Eight plates and five banquets for the prince." (簋: A container for food)
Yiya's connection with Pengcheng (present-day Xuzhou) in the state of Qi has made him famous in today's food culture. Qi cuisine is the earliest local flavor cuisine in China, and later became one of the four major cuisines in China (Shandong cuisine), which is famous at home and abroad for its fresh, salty, crisp and tender taste, unique flavor and fine preparation. Yiya is undoubtedly instrumental in the formation of Lu cuisine.
Later generations wrote works such as the Food Sutra, and it was also common to change the name and teeth. For example, Han Yi, a man of the Ming Dynasty, once compiled a book into eight categories of contents, including making, preserving, vegetables, cages, furnaces, cakes, fasting, soups and medicines, and the title of the book was called "The Last Will of Yi Ya". In addition, Zhou Lujing, a man of the Ming Dynasty, wrote "The Last Will of the Continuation of Yi Ya", which is also a work of antique food scriptures under the pretense of the name.
This person's cooking skills are good, but his character is not very good, and his evaluation of him in history is not very high. There's a story called Cooking, and it's about this guy.
It is said that once Huan Gong said to Yi Ya: "The widow tastes all the delicious food in the world, but it is a pity that he does not eat human flesh" Huan Gong's words were unintentional jokes, but Yi Ya kept this in mind, and wanted to show off his own skills to win the favor of Huan Gong. Later, when he saw his 4-year-old son, he chose to use his son's meat to drink a small broth that he had never tasted, and asked Yi Ya, "What kind of meat is this?" When Duke Huan learned that this was the meat of Yiya's son, he was very uncomfortable, but he was moved by Yiya's behavior of killing his son for his own food, thinking that Yiya loved him more than his own flesh and blood, and from then on, Duke Huan favored Yiya.
Now let's go back to the cooking class. In other words, these diners, taking pictures with their mobile phones in one hand, and eating with chopsticks in the other, are so uncomfortable to eat, it is really a joy.
"Yes, Haotian, after doing this, the overall pattern of the restaurant can be regarded as up, but the name of this dish is still a bit problematic." Looking at the dishes that came up, Chen Yunpeng said. "I think it's good, it's funny, and it's so creative to combine poetry with dish names." Before Jin Haotian could speak, Shu Ruotong rushed to say.
"Brother Chen, you say." Jin Hao Tiandao.
"The name of this dish is interesting, but it seems to be frivolous and unstable. If you face a new human like Miss Shu like Xiang Xiaotong, it's still okay, but I just observed your consumer group here, obviously such a new human is still a minority, so from the long-term perspective of the development of the restaurant, these dish names are still a little more stable. Chen Yunpeng said.
"What Brother Chen said is reasonable. Although the name of this dish is interesting, it is too sensational, and I would like to make it more formal, so that it can also retain some upper-class people. Ye Feng also said.
"Well, I don't think it's right to hear you say that. I'll have someone change it later. Thank you. Jin Haotian raised his glass and toasted everyone.
"Mouse, I didn't think you kid would do this." Hao Chenguang looked at the vivid and beautiful rich flower ball carved from a large pumpkin in the center of the dining table, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that this was made by Jin Haotian, who only knew about pickling girls fighting.
"That's, who is my brother? There's more than you can imagine! Jin Haotian said proudly.
"Just blow it." Hao Chenguang glanced at him and said.
"How can this be called blowing? Have you seen me carve before? Jin Haotian said with a smile, looking at Hao Chenguang's deflated expression, he smiled proudly, and then said half-truthfully: "No." Brother, I sue you, in the past few years, I have cultivated extraordinary skills in the army, and the people of the rivers and lakes give me the nickname Ghost Hand Condor. ”
"You are commenting on the book, and you are still a ghost, which is really shameless." Hao Chenguang said angrily.
"Haotian, you really didn't say anything at this level, but it's a pity that it's not easy to save on pumpkins, if it's on the stone, especially on it, the price will be high, millions or even tens of millions, hundreds of millions are possible." Ye Feng looked at the rich flower ball and sighed, he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, there are many masters who are good at food carving in his private club, but there is really no one like Jin Haotian These works have given life, it can be called a generation of grandmasters, but it is a pity that the materials are not right, it is not easy to preserve, otherwise with this craft, it will definitely be sought after by many local tyrants, and the wealth will be rolling in at that time.
"Hehe, what Brother Feng said is reasonable. I also wanted to find some jade to practice, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to find a suitable one. Jin Haotian sighed.
"Hey, I heard that the Hidden Jade Pavilion on Binhai Road has recently had a new batch of old pit rough stones, if Brother Haotian is interested, where can you go to take a look, maybe you can open a good piece of jade." Chen Yunpeng said with a smile.
"Jade Pavilion, jewelry store?" Jin Haotian asked suspiciously.
"It's not a jewelry store, that's a place to gamble on stones." Chen Yunpeng said with a smile.
"Gambling stones?" Jin Haotian groaned, and the knowledge of the gambling stones related to the Jade Sect appeared in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but move, and his heart said when to try it there, and see if this immortal jade breaking heart method works in the end.
"Gambling stones? Gambling? Zheng Tingyu, who had been silent, asked.
"Not exactly, gambling is illegal, but gambling is legal. Gambling stone refers to the jadeite when it is mined, there is a layer of weathered skin wrapped, it is impossible to know the quality of the jadeite, and the quality of the jadeite must be known after cutting. Chen Yunpeng explained.
"Oh, who can see what's inside the stone, it's not all luck!" Zheng Tingyu said after hearing this.
"Hehe, it's all luck for the average person, but an expert can still see some clues from the traces on the surface of the stone. However, the risk of gambling stones is still very large, there is a way to be poor, a knife to be rich, and a knife to wear linen, which is to say that gambling stones. Chen Yunpeng said.
"Do you know the story of He's Bi?" Jin Haotian also asked.
"Yes." Shu Ruotong nodded hurriedly, and Zheng Tingyu also nodded to indicate that he knew.
"Do you know who found it?" Jin Haotian asked.
"Brother Hao, don't treat us as illiterate, okay, I've learned this in Chinese class." Shu Ruotong complained unhappily.
"Hehe, I'm sorry. I apologize, the Bian He in this story can be said to be the most famous gambling stone expert in history, and he is not worthy of the name of the so-called brick family called beasts. Jin Haotian said.
"Hey, mouse, listen to what you kid mean, you've really studied, you won't be moved, I'll tell you which line of water is too deep, you can't play with a layman at all, be careful to lose your bottoms when you arrive." Hao Chenguang reminded.
"Hehe, don't you know yet, I don't have any gambling sex." Jin Haotian said with a smile.
Hearing Jin Haotian say this, Hao Chenguang put his mind at ease, to be honest, he really didn't want to be immersed in gambling stones, he himself had been to the urban market several times, and had seen getting rich overnight, and he had also seen the tragicomedy of losing money.
A few people were eating delicious food and talking and laughing in the box, these people were invited by Jin Haotian to come to evaluate, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a contact relationship, usually except for Shu Ruotong, the old man, everyone else is very busy and has little time to get together, and today is also an opportunity.
