Chapter 022 [Cowtail Raccoon in Snow Sky Sand Horseshoe Turtle]
As soon as the sky darkened, the Dezhuang Restaurant was already crowded, and when Qin Fan's family arrived, the people waiting in line for dinner had already lined up on the street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the jealous eyes of the gourmets who lined up as if they were about to kill, Qin Fan took his parents straight past the crowded crowd and swaggered into the restaurant.
"I'm sorry, sir, please go to the back of the line."
The waiter at the restaurant made a gesture of invitation with a signature smile on his face. The gourmets who were queuing up in a long line all showed disdainful eyes, waiting for Qin Fan to be blasted out and obediently queue up at the back.
"I've booked a box, 888 upstairs, surnamed Qin."
The waiter quickly flipped through the reservation book in his hand, nodded and said, "Mr. Qin, the box you booked is ready, I'll take you up." ”
Come to Dezhuang Restaurant to eat every day to have a long queue, in the hall to eat does not accept reservations, only the box can be booked. However, there is an additional 10% service charge for eating in the private room. Even so, the restaurant's box has long been fully booked, and ordinary people can't book it at all. If it weren't for Fang Zhenxing's old acquaintance with the restaurant owner, he wouldn't have booked a place at all.
"Xiaofan, why are you only here now, I'm hungry." Fang Xiaojun had already arrived, staring at the appetizers on the table and salivating. If Fang Zhenxing hadn't told him to wait for Qin Fan's family to come before he could start, I'm afraid the dishes on the table would have been swept away by this foodie.
"There is a traffic jam on the road, you can use chopsticks if you want to eat, you don't have to wait for us."
Fang Xiaojun had a bitter face, "I want to too, but as soon as my buddy moved his chopsticks, he was whipped by the old man, and you can see that my hands are swollen into pig's trotters." ”
"I can't practice, I think about eating all day long, go back and give me a pile to stand for two hours first." Fang Zhenxing glared at Fang Xiaojun, stood up and greeted Qin Xuedong's family, "Brother Qin, let you see the joke, please take a seat." ”
The two families sat around a round table, and a waiter in a cheongsam walked in with a menu.
"I don't know how to order, so let the two kids order whatever they want." Qin Xuedong and Jiang Yulin rarely went outside to go to the restaurant, so they handed over the responsibility of ordering food to Qin Fan.
Qin Fan was not polite, took the menu and looked at it, his mouth was like a machine gun, and he reported a series of dish names.
"Stewed soft-shelled turtle with ham, stewed pigeon in Huangshan, steamed stone chicken, pickled fresh mandarin fish, fried eel paste, bayberry balls, silver bud pheasant, five-color hydrangea, three shrimp tofu, square preserved fish, angelica roe meat, Yipin pot ......"
"Enough, how will Xiao Fan finish eating so many dishes later." Qin Xuedong hurriedly said, although the Qin family is rich now, they can't stand eating like this.
This meal has more than a dozen dishes, which is equivalent to half a month's food expenses of the old Qin family.
Qin Xuedong is used to living a poor and simple life, and it is really a little uncomfortable to be so extravagant all of a sudden.
"Dad, don't worry. With me and Junzi here, this food may not be enough to eat. ”
Qin Fan ordered another bottle of Dezhuang Restaurant's self-brewed soju, and returned the menu to the stunned waiter, "Let's follow the dishes on the list first, if it's not enough, let's order it again." ”
The most distinctive feature of Dezhuang Restaurant is Hui cuisine. Hui cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China, which originated in Huizhou during the Southern Song Dynasty. Hui cuisine is good at burning, stewing, steaming, and bursting, stir-frying less vegetables, heavy oil, heavy color, heavy fire, and inherited the Chinese medicine and food homology tradition, pay attention to food supplements.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong once asked her [she] to taste in the bachelor Wang Zao, and Wang Zao cited Mei Shengyu poem and replied, "Oxtail civet on a snowy day, horseshoe turtle in sand." ”
As a result, the oxtail civet on a snowy day and the horseshoe turtle in the sand have become the tribute dishes of the representative of Hui cuisine, which are famous all over the country.
The oxtail civet on a snowy day is a famous game product, and the oxtail civet is the civet cat. The tail resembles an oxtail, feeds on fruits, is good at climbing, and is extremely fat in winter. The meat is tender and delicious, and it is listed as one of the eight treasures of traditional mountain and sea delicacies with its peculiar aroma and deliciousness.
The method of this dish is to take the meat of the oxtail civet and soak it in warm water to soften, wash it, chop it into pieces, put it in rice washing water and boil it over a hot fire, and then remove it and drain it. Then take the pear and cut it into hob pieces, put it on the fire in a wok, put in the raccoon meat and add water. When it is cooked to eighty percent, put in the pear pieces, burn until the pear is crispy, and then use the fire to burn until the soup is viscous, and then put it on a plate.
The color of this dish is golden red, the soup is thick and bright, the raccoon meat is fine and fragrant, and there is a pear fragrance in the salty umami under the careful taste. Not only delicious, but also has the effect of nourishing yin and kidneys, which is a nourishing delicacy in winter.
The sand horseshoe turtle is a soft-shelled turtle produced in the NS area of Anhui. Due to the high mountain and shady mountains in NS District of Anhui, the stream water is clear, the shallow bottom is full of sand, and the belly color of the horseshoe turtle produced is blue and white, the meat is tender and thick, and there is no earthy smell.
The soft-shelled turtle has the delicacy of "chicken, deer, cow, sheep and pig" five kinds of meat, and is known as "five-flavor meat".
Moreover, soft-shelled turtles are rich in animal gelatin, keratin, vitamin D and other nutrients, which can enhance the body's ability to resist diseases and regulate the human endocrine system. According to traditional Chinese medicine, soft-shelled turtles also have the effects of nourishing yin and replenishing yang, softening and dispersing knots, clearing heat and nourishing yin.
The horseshoe turtle is flavored with ham, the rock sugar is fresh, and the charcoal stove is simmered over low heat. After the stew is cooked, the aroma is tangy, the soup is mellow and gelatinous, the meat is crispy, and it is so delicious that you almost swallow your tongue.
Although there are many gourmets who come to the restaurant to eat, the speed of serving food is not slow at all.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served on the table, full of colors, flavors, and dishes.
Fang Xiaojun's index finger moved, and he carried chopsticks like flying vegetables, and he ate happily without eating.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle Fang, I came to dinner with you today because I wanted to discuss something with you." Qin Fan ate for a while, put down his chopsticks and said in a serious tone.
"Xiaofan, do you have anything to discuss with us?" Qin Xuedong and Fang Zhenxing's eyes were focused on Qin Fan, looking at his expression, there should be something important.
"The 5 million is also put, I want to partner with the military to open a national art hall in the provincial capital."
In Qin Fan's view, the money used out is money, and 5 million in the bank will only depreciate more and more, so it is better to invest in opening a martial arts hall and creating a career.
"Guoshu Pavilion?"
Qin Xuedong and Jiang Yulin looked at each other, not knowing why Qin Fan suddenly remembered the Founding Art Hall.
"Well, it's similar to those martial arts halls in the provincial capital that open to accept apprentices to teach taekwondo or karate and fighting, but the Guoshu Hall teaches our traditional Chinese martial arts."
Hearing Qin Fan's explanation, Fang Zhenxing shook his head, "With the kung fu of the three-legged cat of the two of you boys, how can you open a museum to teach apprentices, isn't this a mistake for people's children." ”
Qin Fan had already guessed that Fang Zhenxing had this question, and said with a smile, "Of course it is not enough to rely on me and Junzi alone, if you have Uncle Fang in charge, there will be no problem." ”
"That's right, I discussed with Xiao Fan, when the National Arts Hall is completed, you will be the head of the martial arts hall, with your father's name in the martial arts, see who dares to disagree." Fang Xiaojun patted his father's ass vigorously.
"Good boy, count your father into account."
Fang Zhenxing scolded with a smile, and his heart was also a little moved. In the past few years, the business of Zhenxing Martial Arts Hall has not been good, and Fang Zhenxing has indeed been a little itchy after being idle for so many years.
"Xiaofan, the provincial city is not as good as our Jiaocheng. If you open a martial arts hall in a provincial capital, the rent must be very high. ”
Qin Fan said with a serious face, "Dad, I plan to buy a storefront in the center of the provincial capital and open a martial arts hall. I have calculated, the price of stores in the center of the provincial capital is generally about 10,000 yuan per square meter, and I am ready to buy a 300-square-meter place. ”
"That's 3 million!" Qin Xuedong and Fang Zhenxing were both taken aback, they spent so much money to open a martial arts hall, and if there was no business at that time, wouldn't all this money be wasted.
"Dad, don't worry. In a few years, the housing prices in the provincial capital will be higher and higher, and even if you buy the store and wait for the appreciation, you will not lose money. ”
The price of 10,000 yuan per square meter is already a big bargain in Qin Fan's heart, and he still remembers that ten years later, the housing prices in the center of the provincial capital have generally risen to more than 50,000 yuan, and some good stores have risen to 100,000 yuan per square meter!
At that time, the store that Qin Fan bought for 3 million yuan could at least increase in value tenfold.
And in the near future, the people will pay more and more attention to the traditional culture and quintessence of the Chinese nation, and when the time comes, Qin Fan will find someone to publicize it, and he is not afraid that the Guoshu Museum will have no business.
Qin Fan calculated that the expenses for buying a store, decorating and recruiting employees should add up to more than 4 million yuan, so the 5 million yuan he had on hand was really not enough.
"Lao Qin, I think my son's proposal is good, our family's usual expenses are not much, and our salaries are enough to spend. With so much money in the bank, it is better to invest in opening a store, which can be regarded as an industry. ”
Jiang Yulin saw Qin Xuedong's hesitant appearance, and stood up to support Qin Fan.
"Mom is right, Dad, you don't see as thoroughly as Mom." Qin Fan echoed and said.
Qin Xuedong glared at Qin Fan, and said with a smile, "Nacheng, I'm relieved to have your Uncle Fang here." ”
"Okay, I'll go to the provincial capital with Junzi another day and look for a storefront first."
After the discussion, Qin Fan sandwiched a piece of mellow and fragrant horseshoe turtle, and his mouth was full of rich meat fragrance in one bite, and the turtle meat was stewed crispy, and his teeth and cheeks were fragrant.
