Chapter 166: Tan Family Cuisine
It turned out that the four dishes ordered by Xue Xiang belonged to Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, pearl cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine, and they were all signature dishes here. ∽ ↗ top ∽ ↗ point ∽ ↗ small ∽ ↗ said,
The Jingcheng Hotel has existed since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and after the liberation, it was changed to a state-run hotel, and the No. 1 Government Council has attracted attention many times, helping it to become the first hotel in the Republic.
Since it is a hotel, food and accommodation are the hard standard. The conditions of accommodation are purely based on decoration, and the conditions for eating depend on the chef, with the backing of the government, and the leader has a big stroke of the pen, what kind of chef can't be invited.
After a long period of precipitation, there are Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, pearl cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, plus the first official private dish of the Republic Tan family cuisine, which constitutes the five major cuisines of the Beijing Hotel.
At this moment, Xue Xiang ordered four signature dishes belonging to the four major cuisines, which can be regarded as eclectic, one meal.
"Four dishes, isn't it less, order a few more, and eat well."
Feng Jing knew Xue Xiang's amount of food, and forty dishes were just enough for him to make a foundation.
Xue Xiang said, "Uncle Feng, you don't know anything, where is the place to fill your stomach, if you want to fill your stomach, I will take you to Quanjude a long time ago, Donglai Shun, there is a place to drink wine and eat meat." Here, it is important to taste the taste, and to taste the essence of the harmony of the five flavors, that is success. When it comes to the harmony of five flavors, I almost forgot. As he spoke, he turned his head and asked the waiter, "Master Peng is not on duty today, if he is on duty, please help arrange three servings of shark fin rice." ”
The waiter said, "I'm sorry, sir, Master Peng is on duty, but the Tan family's dishes need to be booked in advance, and they are all full." ”
If the four major cuisines mentioned earlier are the main dishes of the Jingcheng Hotel. The Tan family cuisine is the golden sign of the Beijing Hotel.
This Tan family cuisine is the late Qing Dynasty Hanlin Tan Zongjun's Sichuan cuisine, at that time, Tan Zongjun for the Qing court Hanlin, the favorite food cooking, heavy money around the celebrity chef, at home to cook dragon and phoenix. Harmonizing the taste, Tan's cuisine gradually became famous. Subsequently, Tan Zongjun passed away, the Tan family and the family fell in the middle of the road, and it was gradually difficult to continue, and there were people who admired the Tan family's dishes to hold a banquet, so they withdrew money to do it in the Tan family. With the growing fame, Tan Jiacai officially began to take over private banquets.
From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, princes and grandsons, warlords and politicians, all of them are proud of eating Tan's cuisine. Liberation. Tan Jiacai's public-private partnership was included in the Beijing Hotel. The Master Peng that Xue Xiang said was the chef who was in charge of the red case in the Tan family in the past.
There are schools of painting and calligraphy. Although the kitchen is also heard, because of the self-cherishing of the broom, it is often passed on for only a few years, and then the root is broken.
Therefore, all the arts in China have heard the origin of the inheritance of the genre, and they cook alone. It has been difficult to pass on for thirty or fifty years, as for the famous chefs, all of them are the second and beheaded, and the Tan family cuisine can go through the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The republic, and constantly extinction, can be said to be the only official private dish handed down in the catering industry, which is of great significance.
Since Tan's cuisine was included in the Beijing Hotel, relying on this illustrious inheritance, it has become the golden sign of the Beijing Hotel, and it is a magic weapon for victory.
Tan's cuisine has basically become a signature of national banquets, even if ordinary people go to the Beijing Hotel, it is difficult to enjoy such deliciousness, and often official banquets have to be booked in advance.
Therefore, Xue Xiang named Tan's dishes, and the waiter refused politely.
Chen Botao said, "The queue is full, crowded, we can't pay more, isn't it just a dish?" He didn't know the roots of the Tan family's vegetables, and he only became an ordinary chef.
The waiter replied politely again, holding the menu, and Shi Shiran went.
Chen Botao was about to happen, Feng Jing looked at it with his eyes and said with a smile, "Tan's cuisine can be called a living fossil in the culinary world, and it is only served at the state banquet, Botao, if you want to eat this dish, you have to work harder, if you don't get to my current position, I'm afraid there is not much hope!" ”
Chen Botao sneered and said, "Chief, you are obviously making fun of me, how can I have that ability, it's just that, it seems that I don't have this verbal blessing in this life." ”
"I don't think so, my family has some friendship with Master Peng, I'll make a phone call, later." Xue Xiang said hello, walked straight to the phone in the northwest corner of the room, and returned in a moment.
Chen Botao looked at him and said, "How about it, it may be accommodating." Hearing that the Tan family's cuisine was unusual, he was thirsty, and continued, "The art is also close to the avenue, the ancients did not deceive me, I never thought that this dish would be burned to the peak, and I also have the confidence of being a proud prince and a slow prince." ”
"Master Peng agreed, and it was also a coincidence, it happened that there were three servings of shark fin rice, which Master Peng left for his old friend, and now he has given it to us." Xue Xiang said casually.
Feng Jing was taken aback, "Then this favor is too much!" ”
Feng Jing will not be like Chen Botao, he doesn't know anything about Tan family cuisine, he knows that Tan family cuisine is good at dry food preparation, good at cooking sea eight treasures in soup stock, each dish is complicated, and it needs to be stored for a long time, so it needs to be booked in advance.
Originally, Xue Xiang opened his mouth rashly, and the other party would definitely not agree, after all, it was impossible for anyone who could book Tan's dishes to be ordinary people, or basically reception agencies, who would agree to let the dishes.
I never thought that Xue Xiang made a phone call, and it was done, or Master Peng personally gave up the delicacies prepared with his old friends, but this face was given big, usually people with great art industry must have awe-inspiring arrogance, and non-power can be suppressed.
Xue Xiang said, "Master Peng and my uncle are old friends, and it is an ordinary ...... to sell me this face."
Left and right were eating and chatting, and Xue Xiang talked about the past again. It turned out that when the capital was liberated, Xue Anyuan had been transferred to the Northeast Field Army, which was also the reason why Xue Anyuan was stationed in the capital later.
At that time, although the capital was peacefully liberated, but on the day of the handover of the old and new regimes, it was inevitable that there would be brilliance everywhere, the city fox society rats broke out of the hole, looted everywhere, the Tan family cuisine was famous, and it was the ancestor of the crown clan of the 49 city, and it had long been determined by these city fox society rats that there must be a golden nest and a silver nest, at that time, several groups of people crashed into it.
Thanks to Xue Anyuan, he led the troops to inspect, and just happened to rush there, bumped into the square, and saved the Tan family, and this marriage was concluded.
Xue Anyuan forgot about this trivial matter, but the Tan family did not forget it, but because Xue Anyuan's official became bigger and bigger, the Tan family was broken, and the gap between the two sides was huge, even if the Tan family was grateful, there was nothing to repay.
In recent years, Master Peng and other three descendants of Tan family cuisine have become famous, and Tan family cuisine is famous.
What kind of identity is Xue Anyuan now, where would he accept this, he laughed it off, and always asked Xue to send gifts in return. (To be continued......)
