Chapter 655: The famous Chinese dish Buddha jumps over the wall
The group came to the cafeteria.
Along the way, Finn and Fang Xu looked at the incubator in Fang Yang's hand curiously.
Everyone walked into the private room where the company's management was dining, Liang Zhichao and several of his deputies were also eating, and when they saw Fang Yang suddenly appear, Liang Zhichao and others were also very surprised, and everyone was greeted again.
And Finn on the side rubbed his hands and said:
"Fang! Hurry up and open it and let's see! I can't wait......"
Liang Zhichao and the others saw Fang Yang coming in with a large incubator, and they already felt strange just now, but they were embarrassed to ask, and as soon as Finn finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Fang Yang.
Fang Yang laughed, stretched out his hand and unzipped the incubator, Fang Xu saw the antique small altars exposed inside at a glance, and immediately said with some surprise:
"This ...... Is it Buddha jumping over the wall? β
Fang Xu, who has been living in Rongcheng for several years, is naturally not like Chu Xiaobai, who is stupid and can't tell the difference between a Buddha jumping over a wall and a stewed pot.
Fang Yang smiled and nodded, and said:
"That's right, and it's an authentic Juchun Garden Buddha jumping over the wall!"
Fang Xu, who was still unimpressed with this just now, couldn't help but smash his mouth, and said with a smile:
"Classmate Fang Yang, you kid still has a bit of a conscience, and it is not easy to know that buddy is in dire straits......"
Chu Xiaobai saw that even Fang Xu loved this dish so much, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Fang Yang, what is the origin of this Buddha jumping over the wall? It's a weird name, and it's sold so expensive......"
Liang Zhichao is a returnee, he has been working abroad for many years, he and several deputies are not from Southeast Province, and naturally they have only heard of Buddha jumping over the wall, so they also looked at Fang Yang with great interest, looking forward to his answer.
With the help of a translator, Finn also roughly understood what everyone was chatting, and was full of curiosity about the food in the small jars.
Seeing this, Fang Yang said:
"It seems that everyone is very interested in this dish, so I'll popularize it for you!"
After speaking, Fang Yang pointed to the jar and said:
In fact, this kind of jar was first used to hold Shaoxing wine, and was later used as a simmer for the Buddha to jump over the wall. Buddha jumping over the wall with 18 kinds of main materials, 12 kinds of auxiliary materials for the integration of each other. It includes almost all the delicacies of the world, such as lamb knuckle, ham, fish lips, sea cucumber, abalone, pigeon eggs, bamboo shoots...... And so on, these more than 30 kinds of raw materials and auxiliary materials are processed and modulated separately, layered into the jar, and then added Shaoxing famous wine and seasonings, and then the altar mouth is sealed and covered with lotus leaves, and the pure and smokeless charcoal fire is used, and the fire is boiled and simmered for five or six hours with a slight fire to be completed......"
Fang Yang said so eloquently that Chu Xiaobai and the others couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Fang Yang smiled and pointed to the small wine jar in Shaoxing and said:
"Do you think it's a bit bland, and you don't smell anything delicious at all? Actually, that's right! The most authentic Buddha jumping over the wall almost no fragrance comes out during the simmering process, and when simmering into the altar, only need to slightly open the lotus leaf, there is a wine fragrance, straight into the heart and spleen. β
"Is it really that amazing?" Chu Xiaobai asked suspiciously.
He was eager to lift the lid on the altar.
"Xiaobai, you haven't eaten it, as long as you taste it, you will definitely remember the delicious taste for the rest of your life!" Fang Xu said, "Fang Yang, Brother Yang...... You've already popularized science for these buns, can we start it? β
And Fang Yang said unhurriedly:
"Good food is not afraid of being late! Let me tell you about the origin of the name Buddha jumping over the wall! Didn't Brother Xiaobai think this name was weird just now? β
"Yes, yes, yes...... Mr. Fang, tell us all about it again! Liang Zhichao said.
Fang Xu's hand had already reached for the lid at the mouth of the altar, but when he heard this, he retracted it stupidly, scratching his ears and cheeks as if he couldn't wait.
He just wants to taste the deliciousness, so he doesn't care about the name! But everyone didn't move, and he was embarrassed to be so greedy.
Fang Yang glanced at Fang Xu with some amusement, and said to make a long story short:
There are many different versions of the origin of this name. I'll just pick the one that sounds the most interesting!
There is a custom here in the southeast province that on the third day after the new daughter-in-law gets married, she must personally cook and show her tea and rice skills to win the appreciation of her in-laws. Legend has it that there was a rich girl, pampered, who had never cooked, and who worried about this all day long before she got married.
So her mother took out all the delicacies of the mountains and seas at home and made them into all kinds of dishes, wrapped them in lotus leaves one by one, and told her how to cook them.
Who knew that after this young lady got married, she forgot all the cooking methods, and in a hurry, she poured all the dishes into a Shaojiu jar, covered them with lotus leaves, and put them on the stove. As a result, the next day, the strong fragrance wafted out, and the whole family praised her for her good cooking skills.
After this method of cooking spread, a Xiucai wrote two poems: 'The fragrance of the meat floats around, and the Buddha abandons Zen and jumps over the wall', which means that even the monk can't help but give up his years of Buddhist practice after smelling the fragrance of the open altar, and jump over the wall to enjoy the happiness of this food, which shows how delicious this dish is! β
Fang Yang has a bit of a talent for storytelling, and a folk legend is vividly interpreted by him, and everyone listens to it with relish, as if they are there.
It's just that the girl who is the translator suffers.
The previous story was easy to tell, but when it came to those two poems, she really didn't know how to translate them, so she had to explain the meaning of the poems vaguely, saying that the monk smelled the aroma of this dish and jumped directly from the wall......
After hearing this, the look in Fin's eyes became even more confused, and he didn't understand what it meant at all.
However, the interest of Chu Xiaobai and the others was completely hooked, and looking at the seemingly inconspicuous Buddha jumping over the wall on the altar, they couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
Seeing this, Fang Yang smiled slightly and said:
"Alright, now it's time to enjoy your meal!"
After speaking, Fang Yang stepped forward and opened one of the altar lids of the Buddha jumping over the wall, and the inner layer was indeed a tightly sealed lotus leaf. Fang Yang directly tore off the string again, and then gently lifted the lotus leaf......
Suddenly, a rich fragrance came to the nostrils, not only the mellow aroma of Shaoxing wine, but also the unique aroma of seafood and other rare ingredients mixed together, and everyone subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Fang Yang picked up the Buddha jumping over the wall and placed it in front of Fein, smiled and said in German:
"Mr. Finn, we have an old saying in China: come from afar. You're a guest from farthest afield, and you'll be in for your first delicacies! β
"Thank you! Thank you! Finn said busily.
He had long been attracted by this unique and rich fragrance, and reached out to take the spoon - Huaxia chopsticks, he was unlikely to learn how to use them in a short time.
However, Finn immediately remembered that everyone had not started yet, and immediately put the spoon down with some embarrassment.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little amused when they saw it.
"Come on, come on, let's get it! Do it yourself! Fang Yang greeted with a smile.
Fang Xu's move was the fastest, and he took away a small jar with one arrow step.
Chu Xiaobai's reaction was not slow, and he followed Fang Xu and sat down on the side.
In contrast, Liang Zhichao and the others were much more reserved, they politely thanked Fang Yang, and then came over to jump over the wall.
Fang Yang prepared more than ten copies, and even the translation girl received one, and there were still three copies left in the end. Before the one in front of him started to eat, Fang Xu looked at the remaining three parts of the Buddha in the incubator and jumped over the wall.
Fang Yang smiled helplessly and said:
"Don't look at it, you will have to work overtime to supervise the work later, and the remaining three copies will be for you and Mr. Finn, as well as this translator, and you will be supper!"
"Just waiting for your words!" Fang Xu said with a smile, "Comrades, Mr. Fang has worked tirelessly to bring the precious Buddha jumping over the wall from hundreds of kilometers away, in order to live up to his kindness, let's still ...... Eat it hot! β
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" The translator said politely.
"Let's gossip less, let's eat and ......eat," Fang Yang also greeted with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, everyone reached out to lift the lid, and Finn directly put the spoon on, scooped a spoonful of fragrant ingredients, and carefully put it in his mouth to chew.
Suddenly, his taste buds seemed to cheer every cell in an instant, and the aroma of Huadiao wine mixed with various aromas, lingering between his lips and teeth. The processing heat of the ingredients is just right, rotten but not rotten, and the taste is endless......
βtollοΌ tollοΌ Finn couldn't help but let out an exclamation and gave Fang Yang a thumbs up.
"Fang, it's so delicious!" Finn still had a piece of abalone in his mouth, and while chewing, he said incoherently, "The mysterious Oriental Huaxia is really amazing!" Swear to God, I've never eaten such delicious abalone in my life......"
The others didn't care about talking, and they used chopsticks and spoons to deal with the Buddha jumping over the wall in front of them, and feasted one by one.
Seeing this, Fang Yang also showed a smile of relief, and he began to eat slowly, and said to Finn while eating him:
"Mr. Finn, our country has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, and the culinary culture also has a long history, if you live in China for a while and walk around, you will definitely be able to taste more of these delicacies!"
"Fang, I'm already madly in love with your motherland!" Finn exaggeratedly said, "I have decided that I must bring my wife and children to Huaxia next time I go on vacation......"
"That's great!" Fang Yang said, "Please be sure to contact me then, I will definitely treat you well!" β
"Do you also entertain us with this magical 'monk jumping off the wall'?" Finn asked with a smile.
"Of course, there are not only Buddha jumping over the wall, but also other delicacies that are not inferior to Buddha jumping over the wall, which will definitely make you feast." Fang Yang smiled and said, "I can also take you on a tour, as an ancient civilization of 5,000 years, we have many scenic spots in China that are very beautiful!" β
"Great! Shall we say what we say? Finn said happily.
"It's a deal!"
