Chapter 302: What Evidence Is There to Prove That Hot Pot Is a Chinese Inheritance of Food Culture?
“…… If this little beggar can really win Miao Shengsong, it means that my eyes are blind, and I will sell Hanxiangyuan in the future and never open a restaurant again! Fan Hong said with a sneer.
Although these words were in a mocking tone, he did think so in his heart: Su Laosan brought An Xiaoxiao to him and hoped that he would take in this little beggar, and at that time he directly drove people away, but if An Xiaoxiao actually won the seven-star chef Miao Shengsong now, wouldn't he want to show his blind eyes?
Qin Yue lost in the hands of Miao Shengsong, but An Xiaoxiao won, ha, the value of this little girl is obviously higher than Qin Yue, I don't know how many times, but he drove away this little girl who was originally going to follow him without thinking about it, if this is true, then how can Fan Hong still have the face to continue to open a restaurant......
Su Laosan, who was standing on the side, heard Fan Hong's words, and immediately laughed: "Mr. Fan, our girl's cooking skills are absolutely speechless, if she really wins this Master Miao, don't regret what you just said. ”
"Repentance?" Fan Hong leaned to the side in disgust, these beggars knew that An Xiaoxiao was going to participate in the competition, so they immediately went to Manhanlou to watch the game, and the people here in Manhanlou didn't mind them coming in, and now let Fan Hong stand with these beggars, he was indescribably depressed in his heart, and felt that the grade of Manhanlou was really low...... He glanced at Su Laosan with some disgust, and said with a sneer: "Will I regret it?" A little beggar even intended to win a seven-star chef? Are you dreaming? Hey, a beggar is a beggar, and I can't figure out such a simple thing. ”
"Mr. Fan." Su Laosan smiled on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold, "It's true that we are beggars, but beggars also have the dignity of beggars, so I hope you keep your mouth clean when you speak, and you provoke beggars." You won't have good fruit to eat. ”
"You threaten me......" Fan Hong was furious in his heart, he had been entangled by Su Laosan and other beggars in the past two days, and he was about to scold him immediately, but when he noticed Su Laosan's cold eyes, Fan Hong was suddenly startled, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to snort softly and shifted his gaze to the kitchen.
At this moment, Miao Shengsong's dry stir-fry and three fresh, as well as An Xiaoxiao's hot pot. It's all done.
Miao Shengsong's dry stir-fried three fresh dishes are just a dish, which is decorated with some celery and green onion shreds as decorations, which is worthy of color and fragrance.
However, the dishes presented here in the Manhan Mansion are particularly peculiar: first, an induction cooker was brought up, on which was placed a pot with the soup rolling, in addition to stacks of vegetables, beef and mutton slices, etc., and even a few small bowls of dipping sauce.
"What is this doing in Manhan Building? What kind of dish is this! "Gao Yuesheng has been watching from the sidelines since An Xiaoxiao Qin started to Zhang Luo in January and Han Yuyan, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but be sarcastic." This isn't a dish at all, I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to compete with Brother Miao, right? Three judges, what do you say? ”
"What is this...... the three judges all had a difficult face, and the general dishes are naturally served on the plate. Some of the more troublesome ones are just dishes with more dipping sauce.
But...... The Manhan Building here is to move the induction cooker and pots out directly, which is indeed a little different from the concept of "dishes" for ordinary people.
After a whispered discussion, the three gourmets made a judgment: "It's different from ordinary dishes, but the cuisine is diverse. Some peculiar ways of using it are also understandable, and we still maintain expectations for this hot pot in Manhan Building. ”
"Okay then." Listen to what the three judges have to say. Gao Yuesheng no longer had any difficulties, but said with a little indifference, "Then it depends on how this hot pot in Manhanlou tastes, three judges, now please start tasting these dishes." ”
"The hot pot in Manhanlou looks more troublesome, so let's taste Master Miao's dry stir-fried three fresh dishes first." Mr. Wang, one of the three judges, spoke.
On the side of Shenghuayuan, someone immediately brought the plate of dry stir-fried three fresh dishes to the three judges.
The three gourmets have long known the delicacy of dry stir-fried three fresh, but they rarely have the opportunity to eat it, after all, even if they go to Shenghuayuan to eat, it is very rare to have the opportunity to invite Miao Shengsong to cook in person.
At this moment, the three of them couldn't wait to put a chopstick dish in their mouths, and then savor it.
"Potatoes, eggplant, green peppers, although they are all very common ingredients, in China it has the reputation of three fresh, the three kinds of food with each other complement each other, and this dry stir-fried three fresh first three ingredients are dry and then fried together, this practice is wonderful, after the dry stir-fried ingredients are more delicious than in the past, the taste is self-evident."
"This is the first time I've eaten this dish, and just this dish makes me feel worthwhile."
"It's the third time I've eaten Master Miao's dry stir-fried three fresh, and the taste is really delicious, but it's ......"
Gao Yuesheng listened to these judges talking in a low voice, his face was full of pride, but when he heard this, his expression was stunned, and he hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
"The recipe for this dish is simple, and the rare thing is that the heat is mastered, potatoes, eggplants, and green peppers should be cooked just right, and they can complement each other when they are stir-fried at the end, but they ...... In this dry stir-fried three fresh, the potatoes seem to be overripe, and the taste is slightly inferior to the previous dry stir-fried three fresh, with slight flaws. ”
The gourmet, Mr. Zhang, said seriously.
Being able to serve as a judge for a competition of this level will give you a taste of the subtle nuances of the gourmet's experience.
When Gao Yuesheng heard Mr. Zhang's evaluation, his face was unhappy, and he hurriedly went to see Miao Shengsong.
Miao Shengsong's face was slightly annoyed and helpless, obviously agreeing with Mr. Zhang's evaluation, as a seven-star chef, he would rarely make this kind of mistake, but knowing that his opponent was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, he couldn't help but be a little impetuous, but just now he was a little out of order.
Gao Yuesheng was slightly nervous in his heart, but then he dispelled his worries, even so, then this dish can still crush the works of ordinary six-star chefs, why should he worry too much?
He smiled and continued: "Brother Miao has already made a dish just now, I can't help it, three judges, please try this hot pot made by Manhanlou again." ”
With Gao Yuesheng's words, everyone's eyes looked at An Xiaoxiao, Han Yuyan, and Qin Yue, who were waiting next to him.
The chef of Shenghuayuan served Miao Shengsong's dry stir-fried three fresh dishes, while Pan Qingguo, Su Xin and others, the waiters of Manhan Building, helped bring the things used in the hot pot to the table in turn, and all kinds of fresh ingredients, induction cookers, etc. were immediately placed on the whole table.
Miao Shengsong's dry stir-fry was flawed, although he admitted his mistake, but now when he saw this hot pot, his face still showed a little unhappiness, and he said a little indifferently: "Hmph, what kind of dish is this?" ”
This is a question that Gao Yuesheng had raised before, but it was refuted by the three gourmets, but at this time, Miao Shengsong couldn't help but bring up this matter again.
And this time, Han Lao spoke leisurely: "When I first heard the name hot pot, I didn't react yet, but now I vaguely think of this thing...... This hot pot was a very popular way to eat food before the meat was poisonous. ”
When Han Yuyan heard Han Lao say this, he immediately became happy: "Grandpa, have you heard of hot pot?" ”
"That's right." Han Lao nodded, his face full of joy, "The name of hot pot was also said by Ye Chui's kid, right?" I remember eating this kind of food when I was a child, and there seemed to be a lot of hot pot restaurants on the streets at that time, which is a way of cooking that has been passed down in China for many years. ”
Meat has been poisonous for eighty years, Han Lao is ninety-seven years old this year, and he was already a teenager before the vegetarian movement, so he remembers many things at that time, which can be regarded as living fossils about food, and hearing him say this, the three gourmets immediately became extremely interested.
And Fan Hong, who was standing outside the kitchen, was immediately unhappy when he heard Han Lao's words, and couldn't help but speak: "I heard that this hot pot is a way for beggars to eat when they get together, how did it become a way of food that has been inherited in China for many years in Han Lao's mouth?" ”
Han Lao's face was originally smiling, but when he heard Fan Hong's words, he suddenly became angry, and looked at the door: "Little rabbit cub, do you mean that I deliberately put gold on the Manhan Building?" ”。
Hearing Han Lao's introduction of the hot pot, Miao Shengsong and Gao Yuesheng were a little unhappy, but they didn't speak, Han Lao's identity was there after all, even if Miao Shengsong and Han Lao had a tense relationship, they didn't dare to refute rashly, but Fan Hong couldn't help but interject, Miao Shengsong and Gao Yuesheng were both happy, and they were quite grateful to Fan Hong.
Everyone at the door got out of the way, revealing Fan Hong's appearance.
Fan Hong couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face, why did he say it directly just now...... But at this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue, he said in a deep voice: "Old Han, you said that hot pot is the inheritance of Chinese food culture, so can you come up with any evidence?" We can't just believe you by what you say. ”
"You want me to show evidence?" Han Lao's face was angry, and he was about to tell Fan Hong what evidence he wanted, and my words were evidence, however, at this time, a somewhat panting voice suddenly came-
"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? This is Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen" in the Tang Dynasty, in which the red clay stove is a hot pot, Boss Fan wants evidence, is this counted? ”。
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, in the lobby of the Manhan Building, Ye Chui, who was panting and sweating, walked in, he walked over, and looked at Fan Hong and continued:
In addition, there is such a description in the famous novel "The Travels of the Old Remnant": When the rice is served, it is a bowl of fish, a bowl of mutton, two bowls of vegetarian dishes, four plates, a hot pot, and two pots of wine. In addition, there are many descriptions of hot pot in "Dream of Red Mansions" - if Boss Fan doesn't believe it, you can find the old man's travelogue to check it. (To be continued......)
ps: I endured it for a day and didn't ask for a monthly pass...... So ask for a monthly pass......
