The nine plates of the first course bottomed out at once.
Luo Xianger habitually began to introduce the second dish: "This dish is called Pingqiao Tofu, which cuts the inner fat tofu into consistent diamond-shaped pieces, with diced chicken, diced shiitake mushrooms, and coriander foam, and uses crucian carp brains to make it fresh. ”
Xiao Wu volunteered: "I'll divide this soup dish." ”
Ying Long likes to listen to stories, and opened his mouth to ask, "Is there any story about this dish?" ”
Luo Xiang'er smiled: "There really is." ”
Ying Long's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Master, tell me about it." ”
Luo Xiang'er saw that everyone was looking at her with great interest, so she told the story: "Pingqiao is an ancient town under Huai'an, on the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the antique streets, coupled with the simple and honest folk customs, make it a natural place full of interest and desirable.
Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he passed through here by dragon boat. At that time, there was a rich man named Lin Million, who thought that this was a God-given opportunity and a great opportunity to curry favor with the emperor, so he relied on his own millions of family properties, and let people put up lanterns and lay grosgrain on the road from Huai'an to Pingqiao Town for more than 40 miles, and took the emperor to his home.
Lin Million is a very scheming rich man, long before he took over, he sent someone to find out the emperor's food taste, so he ordered the kitchen to use crucian carp brains and old hen original juice to stew local special tofu for Qianlong.
Although Qianlong tasted all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, how could he have tasted such a flavor with local characteristics? Therefore, after tasting it, he praised it again and again. After taking over, the delicious Pingqiao tofu has spread far and wide, and since then it has become famous in Jianghuai and has become a local traditional famous dish. ”
After listening to the story, everyone began to taste the Hirahashi tofu in the bowl in front of them. Because of Luo Xiang'er's prior reminder, everyone scooped it up with a spoon and blew away the heat before eating it.
Xiao Ding praised the three sentences without leaving the bank: "This dish is delicious and delicious, not greasy to eat, and clean into the lungs." ”
Xiao Wu's focus is different from Xiao Ding: "The master's knife skills are great!" The tofu was cut as thin as paper, almost all of which was translucent. ”
Luo Xiang'er ate a bowl of Pingqiao tofu and pointed to the third dish: "This dish is called stir-fried fragrant snail slices." It's delicious, and the aftertaste is long, so let's try it. ”
Subsequently, Luo Xiang'er continued: "This fourth dish is called casserole sandan, which is cooked with sheep sandan, that is, the petal stomach of sheep. This dish is tender and fragrant, light and refreshing. This dish is especially suitable for people who are thin and weak in physical fitness; It is suitable for people with weak stomach qi, nausea, not eating, as well as night sweats and frequent urination. ”
The last sentence about the function, Luo Xiang'er looked at Xiao Ding and said, she knew that Xiao Ding had always cared about the matter of medicinal food.
Sure enough, after Xiao Ding heard it, he tasted a mouthful of Sandan with a serious expression, and then said: "Lamb belly is sweet and warm, and it enters the spleen and stomach meridians; It has the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing deficiency, invigorating qi and stomach, and fixing the surface and stopping perspiration. Therefore, the food with it as the main ingredient can be used as an adjuvant treatment for symptoms such as fatigue and thinness, inability to eat, thirst, night sweats, frequent urination, etc., right?
