Chapter 251 Confession
Shu Jin and others knew the identity of Sangeng, but they did not change their attitude towards him because of this. Only Quan Jiayou was excited when he heard that he had met such a high-ranking official all of a sudden.
The itinerary of visiting Changdu is still the same, the East Market has not yet opened, so it is still relatively deserted, and when Shu Jin and others pass by, there is no sound in the wall.
On the southeast corner of the Changdu City, the Quchi mentioned by Quan Jiayou was originally a natural lake, long from north to south and short from east to west, with a water area of 600,000 square meters, which is very vast. Later, the princes and nobles built many gardens according to the topography of Qujiang, so this part of the scenery is actually half in the city and half outside the city.
The more Shu Jin and his party walked, the fewer houses and the more trees, everyone got into the carriage and continued to move forward, and later, they could simply see the sparkling lake in the distance.
When they arrived near Quchi, after everyone got out of the car, their breath was full of the aroma of green trees and water vapor, and they took a few deep breaths, feeling that all the turbidity in their chests could be discharged.
Quchi is also called Qujiang, and the palace is built all over the vicinity; Some of the most famous of these are the Cloud Tower in the south, the Fuyuan and the Apricot Garden in the west. The cloud tower covers the largest area and has the best scenery, but it is a royal forbidden area, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach. In addition, because the area of the pond is too large and there are many trees, there are many places where warblers fly and grass grow, and if you break into it, you will get lost.
After a tour of the open garden, and a boat on the lake in the shallow water, they admired the light and water of the lake and the pavilions around the water, and then went to the apricot orchard in the west to eat.
The apricot orchard is one of the famous scenery of Qujiang, and apricot trees are planted all over here. When the apricot blossoms bloom all over in spring, the scenery is very intoxicating. Because the season has passed the peak of apricot blossoms. So when Shu Jin and his entourage arrived, they couldn't enjoy the best spring scenery of the apricot garden. However, there are still many late-blooming apricot blossoms blooming on the branches. There are many time-honored taverns and restaurants in the apricot orchard, and Quan Jiayou is familiar with the way and took Shu Jin and others to a restaurant called Tanhualou.
Everyone sat down in the private room, Quan Jiayou asked, Chai Yanfeng, Shu Jin and others all said that they had no opinion on what to eat, and it was all up to Quan Jiayou to decide. So he took charge and ordered food for the people.
"Silver silk offering, mountain and sea pocket. Dial the xia offering, crab stuffed orange, mountain family three crispy, poppy milkfish. Mandarin ducks are scorching. Forget the worries, win the meat, the plum blossoms. There is also green essence rice. Quan Jiayou said a lot of names of dishes that everyone didn't know at all to Xiao Er'er, and then added, "Oh, I want another golden jade soup." ”
When he went to Xiao Er'er to pass the dishes, Quan Jiayou turned back and introduced to everyone what ingredients and general methods were used for each dish.
"This silver wire offering is not a dish. Silver wire refers to the strings. Legend has it that there was a gentleman who entertained guests and drank with them. And he said to his own boys, 'Go and prepare silver threads, and mix them well, and have their own taste.' The guests thought it was a stew, but the boy had been preparing for a long time, and a harp came up, and a luthier came to play it for the guests to enjoy. So the guests realized that the original silver wire actually said the strings, and the harmony is to say that the strings are tuned well, and to have a true taste is the meaning of the true taste in the piano book.
Later, there was a famous chef who made this silver wire offering based on this story, which is a silver wire, which is made of fish. The fish meat is smooth and delicious, and it is as smooth as silk, so it is very suitable for the name of this silver thread. ”
Quan Jiayou is very eloquent, and when he talks about eating, he is also gushing:
"This mountain and sea pocket is picked spring bamboo shoots, bracken, slightly boiled in water; Cut the fresh fish and shrimp into cubes and blanch them in boiling water. The two are steamed and served with oil, salt, soy sauce, pepper and vinegar. This dish is also called 'fish, shrimp, bamboo shoots, and fern pockets' in the palace. These spring bamboo shoots and bracken are all produced in the mountains, and the fish and shrimp are in the sea, so it is appropriate to call it a mountain and sea pocket, right? ”
"It's rabbit meat. The hare meat in the mountains is cut into thin slices, then marinated in wine and salt sauce, and then roasted in the wind stove, and eaten with dipping sauce, which is very interesting in the mountains. ”
"Crab stuffed orange is to pick a yellow and ripe orange and cut off the top, dig out the orange pulp, leave the juice of the orange, fill it with crab paste and crab meat, then cover the top of the orange, steam it with wine vinegar water, and then dip it in vinegar and salt to eat. The taste of this dish is fresh and fragrant, but the crab is not the fattest time, so the taste will be slightly worse than in autumn. ”
"Shanjia three crispy is a vegetarian dish, which is eaten with tender bamboo shoots, small mushrooms, and wolfberry heads. At this time, it is spring, the stems and leaves of wolfberry are tender, this thing tastes bitter and cold, but it can clear heat and quench thirst, dispel wind and eyes. "One thing Quan Jiayou didn't say is that wolfberry head can also replenish deficiency and improve essence......
"Poppy milk fish is to wash the poppy kernels, grind them into milk, then add them with small powder to steam, and then use light vinegar to gather the milk powder, and finally press them into a fish shape with a mold, add some red yeast water, and then steam them slightly. The finished dish is cut into slices, so it looks like a fish, but it is a vegetarian dish. ”
"Poppy?" Shang Qiang had listened to it with relish before, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Can you eat that thing?" Isn't that addictive? "If I'm not mistaken, a poppy in the future is something that smells and changes! It's okay to just eat it?
"What are you nervous about?" Shu Jinzheng listened with relish, was interrupted by Shang Qiang, and said unhappily, "What you said is the juice extract of poppy." This is talking about the seed kernel of poppy corn, these are two kinds of things, okay? The seeds of poppy millet are good for the body.
And the red yeast water, which is also a good thing. In ancient times, red yeast rice was called 'Danqu', which was both edible and used in medicine. This red yeast rice medicine has the effects of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, strengthening the spleen and eliminating appetite. ”
"Ah, Madame Jade is an expert!" Quan Jiayou listened to Shu Jin's words and praised on the side.
"Do you need to talk about that? Shu Jin is a cook himself! Shang Qiang's mouth was fast, and he said it immediately.
Quan Jiayou was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It's not because Shu Jin is a cook, it's just that he always thinks that Shang Qiang is Shu Jin's subordinate! Unexpectedly, he actually called Shu Jin's name.
The relationship between these people made him more and more incomprehensible.
San Geng was also stunned by Shang Qiang, but seeing that Chai Yanfeng's face was calm, he said:
"That's natural, the whole boss doesn't know, Mrs. Yu not only knows how to cook, but also is a master!"
"Oh? It's true? I don't know, will there be a chance to taste Madame's craftsmanship in the future? It's not a secret, Quan really has no side habits, only this one. Hahahaha! ”
When Chai Yanfeng heard this, he said with a smile: "There is always a chance, it is better for the whole brother to continue." Maybe you can steal a lot of teachers from these Shu Jin! (To be continued......)
