It was afternoon.

"Master, I will find the Shaoxing Huadiao wine you asked me to find." Tian Xiaodu wiped the sweat on his head and returned to Xiaoyu's home-cooked food, and said hello to the two people behind him while talking to Ye Chui, who were holding a half-person-high wine jar and carefully placed it on the floor of the hotel.

Some diners in the restaurant looked at this wine jar with some curiosity.

The wine jar looks quite bull's head, the appearance has a vicissitudes of old texture, but the seal is well sealed, there is also a red paper pasted on the wine jar, on which are written Shaoxing Huadiao four words, the red paper has been a little tattered, enough to see that this wine jar has been densely stored for a long time.

Ye Chui walked out of the kitchen, squatted in front of the wine jar and looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's what you want." ”

"Master, do you want to start selling alcohol in the restaurant?" Tian Xiaodu continued to ask a little strangely, and he said with some amazement, "This jar of wine is at least ten years old, and it cost me more than 10,000 yuan to buy it from a wine merchant. ”

As he spoke, Tian Xiaodu beckoned the two people who brought the wine to leave.

"Shaoxing Huadiao wine is so expensive." Han Yuyan walked over from the side with a surprised look and said.

"This is aging, and naturally the price is not ordinary." Tian Xiaodu explained, but his face was full of doubts, and he looked at Ye Chui, "Master, our restaurant is too small, it is not suitable to sell this kind of wine, it is estimated that it will not be sold at all." ”

"I'm not trying to sell alcohol." Ye Chui shook his head, "I'm used to cook." ”

"Cooking?" Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan and some other diners were all surprised, Ye Chui spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy this jar of aged wine, but it was actually for cooking?

Tian Xiaodu couldn't wait to ask, "Master, even if you can use the aroma of wine for ordinary dishes, you can use cooking wine." What do you want to cook and use so much wine? There are at least thirty or forty pounds in it. ”

"My main thing I want to use is not the wine in this jar, but the jar." Ye Chui stretched out his hand and patted the wine jar and said. He was very pleased with the wine jar, which was just right for the super dish he was preparing.

Because the video of the dark banquet was leaked. Lafayette's originally good sense of Ye Chui dropped directly to the freezing point, and Spiegel took the opportunity to propose that Lafayette take Lin Zhengdao, Wu Haimei, and Lin Wei's family to the nearby solemn temple to fast and recite Buddha for a month, so as to relieve karma.

Zhuangyan Temple is also a famous temple in China, of course, the temples of this era must be fundamentally different from the ancient temples in film and television dramas, many temples have meditation programs for ordinary pilgrims, so that some tourists who seek psychological peace can live in the temple for a short time. Now Lin Wei and her family are staying in the temple in this situation.

And Lafayette is now iron-hearted, Lin Zhengdao, Lin Wei, Wu Haimei told her that this was a misunderstanding, but she just didn't listen, and she had to let the whole family stay in the monastery for a month before leaving.

Lafayette is also strict about Lin Wei's contact with Ye Chui......

The matter between Ye Chui and Lin Wei is still secondary, and the most important thing is that Lin Zhengdao's problem is even more serious, there is a crisis in the company, and he will not preside over the overall situation at this time, and the company will probably lose it directly, but Lafayette will not listen to these truths.

However, Ye Trai has already seen that Lafayette does not understand anything, but this old lady just doesn't want her son to be busy for the company, and Ye Trai has even seen the old lady persuade Lin Zhengdao to sell the company in the previous half month. Anyway, he has earned enough money to spend a lifetime, so don't be busy with work anymore.

All in all, now Lin Wei's family has been completely trapped in the solemn temple. Ye Trai also went to visit yesterday, but when he arrived at the gate of the temple, he was stopped -- Ming Jing is a high-ranking monk who has a very close relationship with the presiding officer of the solemn temple, and under his instruction, Ye Trai entered the temple strictly.

And this completely annoyed the leaf lobe.

"Since you won't let me in, I'll draw you all out of it!" At that time, he was driven out of the monastery by two monks quite rudely, and even the two monks were holding the ring stick in their hands and looked at Ye Trai with a cold face, which made Ye Trai unspeakably angry.

He was obviously not prepared to say these words, just to say them.

What had happened in the past two days had made him completely angry, making him angry, the god of food. Therefore, he wants to take revenge on these monks in the way of the god of food, and solve this matter with the ultimate food.

So he's ready to make the ultimate delicacy. Come and let these hypocritical monks show their true colors, and let Lafayette wake up from the meditation of vegetarian chanting Buddha. Let this matter be completely resolved.

Doesn't that sound crazy, a little nonsense?

No, for Ye Chui, these are all possible, he wants to use a delicacy to turn the entire solemn temple upside down!

And it just so happens that there is a Buddha character in this dish, which is also very suitable for the origin of this dish.

This dish is called Buddha jumping over the wall.

Tanqi meat incense floated around, and the Buddha abandoned Zen and jumped over the wall.

Buddha jumping over the wall, this is a delicacy that can make the Buddha abandon Zen!

Speaking of Buddha jumping over the wall, many people will not be unfamiliar, in the last life of Ye Chui this dish is a state banquet, and in some large and medium-sized restaurants are sold, but the production of Buddha jumping over the wall in the hotel are all reduced steps and essence, the taste is not authentic, this dish suddenly looks like a hodgepodge, its origin is also an accident and accident, but it can be passed down for hundreds of years and become a famous dish, and the accident is naturally clever.

This dish needs 18 kinds of main ingredients, 12 kinds of auxiliary ingredients for a total of 30 kinds of ingredients, these 30 kinds of ingredients after three hours of simmering, all kinds of ingredients are familiar with each other, the taste is delicious, it tastes soft and tender, rich and fragrant, meat is not greasy, so that the Buddha jumps over the wall This dish lives up to its name.

At the same time, in the early Qing Dynasty, there was no dish of Buddha jumping over the wall, but not because the level of Buddha jumping over the wall was not enough, but because the Buddha jumping over the wall and the Manchu and Han full banquet almost originated at the same time, and this dish had not yet become a famous dish when the Manchu and Han Dynasty held the full banquet, but in the several Manchu and Han banquets held by the court later, this dish that was born soon after was included in it, and at the same time, it was still in the ranks.

The four grades of the Manchu and Han full seats:

It is the highest level of cuisine, and being at this level can at least show that this dish has reached the highest level of Chinese cuisine.

But. The most authentic Manchu and Han banquets are not so easy to make, and this dish is not so difficult at first glance, as if it only takes 30 ingredients to be boiled in a clay pot for a long time. But it's actually that easy.

The order and amount of each ingredient are strictly controlled. In this way, the flavor of the various ingredients can be balanced during cooking, and finally blended into the ultimate fragrance that can be seen as mysterious.

Ye Shui also went through many experiments before finally finding the best blending scheme.

Of course, in addition to this, the cooking time and the grasp of the heat are also the most important, even the crockpot used to steam this dish must be carefully selected - the Buddha jumps over the wall and needs to add wine to taste, not ordinary cooking wine, nor ordinary liquor. To use good Shaoxing Huadiao wine, and if you want to make the wine aroma completely invade the ingredients, it is not enough to pour Huadiao wine in the process of cooking, so this requires the cooking utensils to use the aged Shaoxing wine jar.

Because of the storage of Shaoxing wine, the wall of the jar naturally carries a Shaoxing wine aroma, which can best make the wine taste of the whole dish mellow and even.

That's why Ye Chui asked Tian Xiaodu to find this stall of aged Shaoxing Huadiao wine.

He doesn't value the wine inside, but the wine jar outside.

"Master, what are you going to use this jar to cook?" Tian Xiaodu heard Ye Chui's words. I was stunned for a moment, in the Chinese diet, the crockpot is also a cooking utensil. The most suitable cooking utensils for some stews are crockpots, but Tian Xiaodu has never heard of such a large wine jar for that dish.

Moreover, even if such a large wine jar is used, the crockpot market can be seen everywhere, why did Ye Chui spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy this aged Shaoxing Huadiao wine?

Ye Trai was very satisfied with the wine jar, he tore off the seal on the wine jar very casually, and a smell of wine suddenly diffused, Ye Trai took a deep breath intoxicated, and then replied: "The dish I want to make is called Buddha jumping over the wall." ”

"Buddha jumping over the wall? It's a strange name. Han Yuyan said with some surprise. She looked at Tian Xiaodu, "Senior brother, have you ever heard of this dish?" ”

"Nope." Tian Xiaodu shook his head. But then he froze again, "No. I think I've read it in some book...... It seems that a group of beggars put some of the begged food into a clay pot to steam, and the result was so fragrant that the monks who were doing evening classes in the nearby monastery couldn't help but look for the fragrance to taste, so the name of the dish made by this beggar is undoubtedly called Buddha jumping over the wall, and a poet wrote a poem for this matter, what is it called......"

"Tanqi meat incense floats around the neighborhood, and the Buddha abandons Zen and jumps over the wall." Ye Trai said with a smile.

Although the vegetarian movement has lost countless recipes, some famous dishes have been passed down in the form of certain stories because of their extraordinary origins and legends, but even so, few people take these seriously, such as this Buddha jumping over the wall.

Tian Xiaodu obviously knew this story, but he never thought of making this dish - putting several ingredients together and steaming it looks like an ordinary stew, and there is no need to try it at all.

"That's right, that's it." Tian Xiaodu nodded again and again, admiring Ye Chui very much, but he didn't expect him to be able to read these two lines of poetry casually.

And Han Yuyan's focus was obviously not on this, she said with a surprised face: "Master, it turns out that this dish was invented by a beggar?" ”

Ye Chui couldn't help but turn his head and flick Han Yuyan's forehead: "Don't look down on beggars, the delicacies invented by beggars are sometimes delicious, I used to make you a delicacy called Huaji is a delicacy invented by beggars, didn't you eat it at that time?" ”

Han Yuyan rubbed his forehead, glared at Ye Chui with his eyes, and then said expectantly: "So this Buddha jumping over the wall is also delicious?" ”

"What's more?" Ye Trai smiled a little sinister and said, "I want to make those monks in the Zhuangyan Temple not in the mood to continue chanting Buddha!" ”

Tian Xiaodu: "......"

Han Yuyan: "...... Master, the tone of your voice at this time seems to be a villain. ”

“……”

Ye Trai rolled his eyes, did not continue to take care of his female apprentice, but turned around and took a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of wine from the wine jar, this wine showed a slightly yellow and transparent color, the aroma of wine overflowing, Ye Trai took a deep breath with an intoxicated face, he is not a good wine person, in fact, it has been half a year since he was reborn in this world, he has never tasted a sip of wine, but at this time, how can Ye Trai endure the wine in front of him?

The world's winemaking technology can be divided into three categories, namely rice wine, beer, and wine, among which rice wine originated in China, and the rice wine can best represent the characteristics of the first Shaoxing wine.

Sweet and aromatic, sweet and refreshing.

The stall in front of him is a ten-year-old wine that has been sealed for ten years, and the taste is even stronger, and Ye Chui can't help but drink it in one gulp.

But as soon as his lips touched the spoon, Han Yuyan next to him snatched the spoon in Ye Chui's hand.

"What for?" Ye Chui looked at his female apprentice.

"Master, minors can't drink." Han Yuyan said proudly.

Ye Hang: "......"

Han Yuyan smiled, followed by a curious look and poured all the wine in the spoon into her mouth, this sister probably knew that this wine was the best and delicious, so she wanted to taste it, but she obviously forgot that she didn't drink at all, and this kind of aging wine is not only rich in aroma, but also very high in wine, Sister Han coughed bitterly, and tears came out.

It made Ye Trai laugh quite relieved, and continued to pick up the spoon to prepare to taste the wine.

But next to him, Tian Xiaodu snatched the spoon again: "Master, it's really not good for minors to drink." ”

Ye Hang: "......"

He'll be an adult in two months, what's wrong with a sip of wine?

In the end, Ye Chui drank a sip of rice wine after all, feeling a spicy sensation in his throat, but the taste was indescribably happy, of course, he also knew that this wine should not be drunk more, this point of self-control is still there, the wine in the big wine jar was then poured into a plastic vat by Ye Chui, this wine is very precious, it is nearly hundreds of yuan per catty, I am afraid it will not be sold in this small restaurant, I am afraid it will have to stay in the kitchen for a long time......

As for the vacant Shaoxing wine jar, Ye Chui is also very satisfied, although the wine inside is poured out, but there is still a strong aroma of wine permeating it, which is the best appliance for making Buddha jumping over the wall.

And after preparing this utensil, Ye Chui thought of the ingredients again, many of the ingredients of Buddha jumping over the wall are quite precious, such as shark fin, abalone......

It is unlikely that these can be bought in Xizhou City, but Ye Trai is not worried - he took out his mobile phone and dialed Xing Sen's mobile phone directly, and after connecting the other side, Ye Trai asked, "Have you found those ingredients?" ”

Looking for ingredients is such a thing, looking for food detectives is the most suitable! (To be continued)

ps: I'm going to officially start preparing to do Buddha jumping over the wall~~~~ It's coming, so I'm asking for a monthly ticket and a recommended ticket......
