In the corner of the lobby on the ground floor, away from the air conditioning outlet, an old man with silver hair was sitting alone, the old man was full of ravines, and the years had left deep marks on his face. If you look closely, you can notice that the old man's expression is a little nervous, a little anxious, and a little apprehensive, until Mao Wei and Yue Yuxia appear one after the other, and his various negative feelings instantly reach their peak, and even his breathing is about to freeze.

"Sir, I've kept you waiting." Mao Wei acted as a running hall, compared to Qin Feng, as the head of a shop, he was actually more concerned about the old man's perception of this braised river eel.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Manager." The old man stood up excitedly to shake hands with Mao Wei, and when he found that it was inconvenient for him to free his hands, he changed his posture again, grabbed his arm, and swung it hard.

"Sir, this is the braised river eel from our shop...... However, before the old gentleman could enjoy it, this Miss Yue had a reluctant invitation. ”

It is said that it is easy for a beautiful woman to come forward, even if she is an old man who is over eighty years old, in the face of Yue Yuxia, she also has an amiable smile, and even said: "Miss Yue, please speak, but if you have something, you are not allowed to ......."

"Hello old man...... Yue Yuxia has completely lost any arrogance and arrogance at this time, helped the old man to sit down, and then took out a business card from his side, introduced himself and said: "Old gentleman, I am the editor-in-chief of Tianhai University's self-run journal "Food in Yanbao", just now, I heard that the traditional kung fu dish braised river eel has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, so I would like to ask the old gentleman to give me delicious food and be allowed to interview Mr. ”

"No problem, no problem...... "The old gentleman agreed, and began to help prepare the dishes.

"Don't be in a hurry for this ......first" Yue Yuxia gently pressed the old man's hand, then pointed to the steaming braised river eel in front of him, and asked: "May I ask the old man, in your memory, how similar is the appearance of the braised river eel in your childhood to the dish in front of you?" ”

The old gentleman's gaze fell back on the braised river eel, and in just a few breaths, the old gentleman's breathing suddenly became short, he held chopsticks in his hand, lit the plate in the void, and said with a slightly cloudy mouth: "Yes, yes, this is the shape, the bright red is green and white, the green is green, and the white is the green onion...... Also, Miss Yue, please see, the fish skin is intact and not messy, and the surface is shiny and crystalline, which means that it took a lot of effort to thicken it, and it took effort to boil the sugar, and if you clamp it up with chopsticks, it will definitely produce a phenomenon of pulling silk......"

As he spoke, the old gentleman carefully picked up a piece of river eel with chopsticks, and sure enough, as he said, the eel segment was suspended in the air, but it was still broken from the whole plate of braised river eel lotus. The dark red silk was shiny and shiny, and in mid-air, it seemed to be dancing rhythmically to the beat of the old gentleman.

Yue Yuxia meticulously typed with pad, faithfully recorded the old man's evaluation, and after obtaining the old man's approval, he turned on the recording and photo functions at the same time. After the recording, she couldn't wait to follow the old gentleman's example, picking up a piece of eel with chopsticks, and sure enough, she also experienced the phenomenon of pulling silk.

"At that time, loose sugar was still a luxury, a dish, how difficult it was to make a silk pulling effect...... "The old gentleman sighed, although there are all kinds of silk apples, sweet potatoes and so on, but in the old man's mind, it is no longer the silk drawing in his memory.

"Old sir, it's rare that the appearance of this braised river eel is the same as what you remember, so you better taste it first." Yue Yuxia put down her chopsticks and couldn't wait to start urging the old gentleman.

However, now, the old gentleman seemed to be a little scared, he also put down his chopsticks, hesitated for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Miss Yue, why don't you taste this braised river eel first?" ”

"This, how can this be ......" Yue Yuxia smiled, why did the old gentleman still have a hobby of buying vegetables and inviting others to taste them first, she said: "You ordered the dishes, how can I plunder the beauty of others, this first bite, you must taste the taste first......"

The old gentleman kept shaking his head, and after a while, he sighed: "It's difficult...... Miss Yue won't understand what it's like to be cowardly in her hometown......"

The old man's sorrow seemed to have infected the others, and Mao Wei was the first to speak: "Miss Yue, why don't you taste it first, and then tell the old man about the taste...... I believe the old gentleman also means this......"

Yue Yuxia also understood that the old gentleman was afraid, not only afraid that this braised river eel was not the taste of childhood, but he was even more afraid that this was the taste of childhood. After thinking about this joint, he smiled and said in harmony: "Then, why don't I taste this river eel with the old gentleman?" Let's count one, two, three, okay? ”

Otherwise, the smile of the beautiful girl is the most infectious, under the persuasion of Yue Yuxia soft words, the old gentleman seemed to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden, he nodded again and again and said: "Okay, good, let's count one, two, three......"

Yue Yuxia picked up the chopsticks again, and almost at the same time as the old gentleman, she picked up a section of river eel, and inadvertently, she suddenly found that on the periphery of the crowd, a familiar handsome face was also watching her.

Damn, how dare he come out of the kitchen......

It was Qin Feng, who had already changed into his white kitchen clothes and replaced them with the blue and white short-sleeved shirt he was wearing that night.

Damn, so damnable......

Qin Feng had a relieved smile on his face, as if he was subservient to the way she persuaded the old gentleman, and in the smile, Yue Yuxia also saw the strong care and appreciation in it.

Hmph, there are many people who worship my aunt and grandmother, and you are not the only one...... Yue Yuxia's mood suddenly seemed to be much better, even she didn't know that her smile at this time was beautiful, as if she was a bright pearl in the night sky that could light up a qiē.

Yue Yuxia's movements were very slow, and when she was tasting the food, she was showing a completely different kind of solemnity, which was almost completely different from the usual wild flying, which was carved out of two completely different molds.

"Damn, sure enough, beautiful women are still more worthy of appreciation than food......" Someone next to him was whispering, Yue Yuxia was tasting food, and they were obviously more savoring beautiful women.

At the entrance of the eel, the soup is thick and sweet mixed with the sticky glutinous skin of the fish, and for a moment, the mouth seems to be unable to chew, and the upper and lower jaws seem to be completely glued together.

"Sure enough, the fish skin is rich and fat, and only braised can perfectly present it......"

With a light sigh, the corners of Yue Yuxia's mouth flashed with a touching smile again.

At the same time, the old gentleman on the other side, but in the case of everyone's complete surprise, first poured out two old tears, as the mouth gradually squirmed, the old gentleman soon burst into tears, suddenly, he finally couldn't suppress the surging of emotions in his heart, lying on the edge of the dining table, and couldn't stop crying.

Crying and laughing, the onlookers were stunned, a delicacy, actually ate two completely different moods, this, how strange this is.
