"Huh?" Li Gengxin subconsciously froze for a moment, looked at the man holding the mobile phone and lowered his head, and frowned slightly. Although this sentence happened to be just when he finished speaking. But Li Gengxin really can't say that this man is talking about himself. If you pick up the stubble, won't it become a scolding?

Pouting slightly, Li Gengxin subconsciously turned his head, and saw Yang Hongli sitting beside him looking at him with a wry smile. Li Gengxin shook his head helplessly, and then continued with the words in front of him: "This plum blossom is extraordinary, and this poem is also written in the heart." Nice, nice ......"

After commenting, Li Gengxin was just about to continue speaking, when he heard Yang Hongli say with a smile next to him: "This plum blossom and the poem have a great background, you don't know it, right?" After Yang Hongli finished speaking, he glanced at the inscription under the plum blossoms. The seal on it clearly indicates the author's information.

"Where did you come from?" Li Gengxin asked Yang Hongli curiously. Yang Hongli snorted and smiled helplessly. I figured out that Li Gengxin really didn't understand the content of the seal. Nodding subconsciously, Yang Hongli didn't poke it but said very calmly: "This is the son of Master Mei Lanfang, a frequent visitor to Emei Restaurant back then, and the painting is also the plum blossom that Mr. Mei is best at." Including the plaque of Emei Restaurant at the door, it is also Mr. Mei's hand-held words. Even when he moved here in the past nine years, the owner of Emei Restaurant personally invited the late Master Mei Lanfang's son, Mei Baojiu, to unveil the plaque. ”

"Oh......" Li Gengxin nodded slightly movingly. He continued casually: "I've always heard that Emei restaurants are very famous, but I've never paid attention to them. I didn't expect there to be so many historical origins in this. ”

Yang Hongli smiled and said, "What do you think! They are all time-honored brands that have been famous for a long time. Who doesn't have a bit of cultural heritage and connotation? Back then, celebrities such as Ma Lianliang and Lao She were all frequent guests of this Emei restaurant! ”

For the allusion of Emei Restaurant, if it is changed, it is still Li Gengxin when he was cutting vegetables in the back kitchen of Dejuquan. Then he must be fascinated. I will be very interested in these connotation allusions, and I will be fascinated by this place.

But today's Lee is renewed. It's not the frog at the bottom of the well anymore.

"Do you have anything to recommend?" Li Gengxin asked Yang Hongli directly, after all, he felt that the historical and cultural heritage was compared with the dishes. The latter is more important. And today, I was pulled by Yang Hongli to this Emei restaurant to feel the heritage. Broaden your mind and lay the foundation for me to be the king of chefs in the back, as for this visit! It's too late to understand while eating.

Yang Hongli thought about it and smiled at Li Gengxin. It seems to be casual, but the momentum is very calm: "Eat the signature dish!" ”

After saying this, Yang Hongli turned his head and beckoned to the waiter not far away.

As soon as he went upstairs, the waiter who wanted to order food for Yang Hongli was left aside by Yang Hongli. At this time, it was finally time for the guest to order. The waiter naturally walked quickly to Yang Hongli and Li Gengxin, bowed slightly, and said enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Li Gengxin turned his head to the waiter and asked, "What is your signature dish here?" ”

"The signature dish of our Emei restaurant is naturally Kung Pao chicken. Would you like one? The waiter subconsciously glanced at Li Gengxin. After a professional recommendation, he set his eyes on Yang Hongli again.

In fact, if you know Emei Restaurant, you should know that the signature dish here is Kung Pao Chicken. Just like Fengze Garden in the capital, when it comes to it, it is the eight pieces of noodles and braised sea cucumber with green onions. Donglai Shun must be eating hot pot, the whole eel banquet in the Welcome Building, the yellow stewed shark fin of Tanjia cuisine, the stewed boiled fire of the small intestine Chen, the fish-flavored shredded meat of the restaurant, and the roast duck of Dejuquan!

There are always one or two dishes in a time-honored restaurant that evoke the most sensitive memories of people's taste buds.

It's a pity that Li Gengxin has only heard of Emei Restaurant. I really don't know much about the specific situation. At this time, after listening to the waiter's words, he subconsciously pursed his lips and muttered, "It's not a joke, right?" ”

Yang Hongli looked at Li Gengxin suspiciously, and asked Li Gengxin with a strange expression, "Why are you kidding?" ”

Li Gengxin looked left and right on the second floor of the restaurant and looked around. After smiling awkwardly at the waiter, he said, "I said, this kung pao chicken is rotten on the street." We've gone around most of the four rings, you won't say just let me eat a kung pao chicken, right? ”

"What, will you do it?" Yang Hongli subconsciously asked Li Gengxin.

"Yes...... Forehead...... "Li Gengxin was just about to say how I can't be a kung pao chicken!" But as soon as the words came out, Li Gengxin himself was stunned. Will you do it yourself?

Speaking of which, even the chefs of the food stalls in the roadside stalls can cook the kung pao chicken in the world. There are those who put cucumbers, carrots, and green peppers in them. Some diced chickens are spicy. Some are sweet. I know what the authentic Kung Pao Chicken has to offer, but I just eat it and eat it, that is, it is the ingredient for the rice bowl. There are a lot of snacks in the snack city for more than a dozen yuan a piece, and a small dish or drink.

But everyone can really pick a thumbs up, and Li Gengxin really didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he was fine.

"Since you come. Just try it. Haven't you always wanted to make an unusual taste out of an ordinary dish? Here's what you might get a feel for. Yang Hongli smiled and whispered to Li Gengxin.

"Okay......" Li Gengxin nodded.

The waiter looked at Yang Hongli and Li Gengxin from the side, and secretly pursed his lips.

Yang Hongli turned back to the waiter and said, "A Kung Pao Chicken, two bowls of rice." ”

"Anything else?" The waiter subconsciously asked Yang Hongli.

"Something else? We'll talk about that later! Yang Hongli smiled.

"I'm sorry. This lady, we have a minimum consumption on the second floor. If you don't have enough money here......" The waiter said politely. But anyone can understand the subtext. Naturally, he told Yang Hongli: If you want to have a bowl of rice with Kung Pao Chicken. You just go downstairs. Don't run up there and pretend to be a force!

"We'll order later!" The smile on Yang Hongli's face froze slightly. He pursed his lips and muttered to the waiter.

"But ......," the waiter was trying to say.

At this time, the man with his mobile phone and his head down seemed to be muttering to himself: "Tubaozi is still running to pretend to be forced? Hehe......"

Li Gengxin frowned immediately when he heard this. His eyes looked angrily at the man playing with his phone. If you talk about yourself, Li Gengxin can still be regarded as not hearing. Hehe smiled and passed. But openly mocking Yang Hongli, he really wanted to rush over and slap his two big mouths.

Li Gengxin, who subconsciously regarded Yang Hongli as his own woman's protection, was just about to speak. I felt that my thigh was gently kicked by Yang Hongli's little leather boots.

"Then you can make me a dish. It's better to have just enough for the two of us. Don't waste it......" Yang Hongli said to the waiter with a smile, and then stopped looking at the waiter.

The waiter was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and left Yang Hongli and Li Gengxin's side.

"You asked her to match us? A dish? What is the minimum spend here? Li Gengxin asked Yang Hongli with some curiosity.

"Minimum spend? I don't know! Yang Hongli muttered to Li Gengxin very casually.

"I don't know, you just let this waiter add a dish for you, you're bad enough. Isn't this embarrassing little girl? Although Li Gengxin kept saying that Yang Hongli was bad, he was very similar in his heart to see what kind of dish this waiter could match with Yang Hongcarp.

"Emei Restaurant, an old restaurant with such a heritage, do you think it can't match you with a high-priced dish?" Yang Hongli looked at Li Gengxin, who had a dark face, and shook his head helplessly.

Looking at Yang Hongli's expression, Li Gengxin also seemed to realize something. After thinking about it, he sighed slightly and said, "Let's talk about Kung Pao Chicken!" ”

"Oh? What do you want to say? Yang Hongli asked Li Gengxin.

"I just think this kung pao chicken dice...... Isn't it worth it for us to come all this way to eat? Li Gengxin asked. I looked up at the plum blossoms on the wall helplessly, and I always felt that my trip was not worth it.

"Looks like I'm in the wrong place?" After Yang Hongli asked to himself, he whispered to Li Gengxin and continued: "You know the details of Kung Pao Chicken very well?" ”

"Yes, it's okay!" After Li Gengxin nodded, he continued: "After all, when it comes to Kung Pao Chicken, this dish has a history of more than 200 years. Now there are too many people doing it from state banquets to food stalls, and it is something that a chef can do. I ......"

Yang Hongli nodded. Suddenly, he said: "Update, you are different today from the past!" ”

"Really?" Li Gengxin suddenly froze, and he suddenly understood what Yang Hongli was referring to.

"Hey!" Li Gengxin naturally wanted to maintain a normal heart and humbly seek advice. I wanted to find a dish that would show my face in the I'm the Chef competition. At the same time, it is best to find the inspiration to overcome Dai Mengrao. But when I think of kung pao chicken. I can't help but want to pout. If he came to eat a dish like boiled cabbage today, Li Gengxin might be much calmer than he is now.

Yang Hongli looked at Li Gengxin quietly, and her expression was much calmer than Li Gengxin's somewhat impetuous heart at this time.

Li Gengxin picked up the imitation ivory chopsticks on the table. While playing, he said: "I think the allusion to Kung Pao Chicken is more impressive than the dishes on the market now. ”

"What allusion? As early as the Qing Xianfeng period, the story of Ding Baozhen and his family chef in Pingyuan, Guidi? Yang Hongli copied Li Gengxin and asked.

"Hmmm! That's him. Yang Hongli responded to Li after a new sentence. Suddenly, Yang Hongli raised his hand and pointed at a wall. Li Gengxin was stunned. looked at Yang Hongli's snow-white slender fingers. Subconsciously read along the text on the wall: "After Ding Baozhen was admitted to the Jinshi, he successively served as the prefect of Hunan and Lu, and the governor. Governor of Sichuan and Shu and other official positions. Ding Baozhen made outstanding achievements when he was the prefect, and was crowned "Prince Shaobao", and after his death, he was awarded the title of "Prince Taibao". At that time, people respected him as "Ding Gongbao". Ding Gongbao usually likes to eat fried chicken, and every time he goes back to his hometown in Pingyuan, the villagers greet him with fried chicken. As a result, people named Pingyuan fried chicken "Kung Pao Chicken". This is an allusion to Kung Pao Chicken...... Damn, it's a little different from what I knew! ”

Yang Hongli smiled, and did not entangle Li Gengxin with the specific story of this Kung Pao Chicken.

After all, there are many folk sayings. Some people say that the chef of Ding Baozhen's house saw that he was tired and fried several things together at night to achieve this kung pao chicken, and some people said......

There are many sayings. The single result is still the inheritance of Kung Pao Chicken.

At this time, the kung pao chicken that Yang Hongli wanted was served.

Rectangular plate with brown-red chicken and golden peanuts. A few slices of ginger and green onion are faintly visible. There is a faint layer of red oil around the perimeter of the plate. It looks really refreshing, not to mention, and the most important thing is that there is no soup in this Kung Pao chicken. It really looks like it's visually striking.

"Looks really good!" Li Gengxin picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste them, when he suddenly heard the waiter say, "The dish for you is here." Braised shark fin! Please use it slowly! Although the waiter said that he was slow, he didn't move his steps. The snickering joy on his face seemed to be waiting to see Li Gengxin and Yang Hongli's jokes.

"Uh...... Braised shark fin? Li Gengxin's heart twitched instantly. Looking at a large plate of braised shark fin in front of him, he thought to himself: "Such a large plate of braised shark fin is said to be the minimum consumption." If the money is not enough, it is estimated that it will take a month's worth of dishes to wash the dishes of other Emei restaurants! This waiter is really ruthless......"

Yang Hongli saw that Li Gengxin was puffing up and seemed to be about to say something.

He hurriedly turned his head and said to the waiter before Li Gengxin: "Thank you, you are busy." I'm calling you what's the matter! ”

After giving an order to the waiter, Yang Hongli elegantly picked up a few strands of shark fin with chopsticks and put them in the bone dish in front of him.

The waiter pondered for a moment, and then glanced at Li Gengxin, who was speechless, and Yang Hongli, who lowered his head and tasted shark fin elegantly. Again, he said, "Please use it slowly." Then he turned and walked slowly off into the distance. It's just that when the waiter turned around, bursts of snickering laughter came out of his mouth, and anyone who heard it felt that this girl's "conspiracy" had succeeded.

Li Gengxin turned his grief and anger into appetite, and put a chopstick chicken directly into his mouth. Suddenly frowned, and glanced at Yang Hongli.

"What's wrong?" Yang Hongli originally had shark fin in his mouth, but seeing Li Gengxin's expression was very weird, he gently covered his lips with his hand, and muttered a question.

"Smack......

Li Gengxin directly spit out the kung pao chicken in his mouth into the napkin in his hand, and then frowned tightly.

"Any questions?" Yang Hongli subconsciously just wanted to take a bite of Kung Pao chicken. Suddenly, the man who had been playing with his mobile phone with his head down raised his head, and this time he asked Li Gengxin, "You seem to know very well, you should also be a chef, right?" Damn, don't you know that pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning? (To be continued.) )
