Chapter 247: Uncle Liang
"Night Shanghai, night Shanghai, you are a city that never sleeps.
The lights are up, the cars are sounding, and the singing and dancing are leveling
I saw her, smiling face, who knew that she was depressed in her heart
Nightlife, all for, food, clothing, housing and transportation
If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, and you waste your youth."
On the stage of the hotel restaurant, a fair girl is dressed in a cheongsam, holding a painting fan, dancing lightly, dancing lightly and movingly, with a graceful posture and a gentle voice, whether it is watching people or listening to songs, it is a rare enjoyment.
The best thing is the decoration of the hotel restaurant, the style of the old Shanghai song and dance hall, a group of young girls in cheongsams keep serving dishes, and there are waiters on the side who can greet them at any time, which makes people feel like they have returned to the Republic of China and returned to the Shanghai Tang where artillery fire and prosperity coexist.
"What a place!" Cai Hongming sighed.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there is the towering Oriental Pearl Tower, looking down, is the surging Huangpu River.
Thinking about that period, all kinds of romantic characters, to this day, have become a passing cloud, only this surging river will never stop, it is really in response to the old saying, "The past, count the romantic characters, and look at the present." ”
"Not only is the place good, but the food is also good, come and try it."
Ruan Tianxuan said: "The chefs of this restaurant have always made local dishes, and at first the hotel went to invite people, but people were still unwilling. In the end, the hotel proposed to cooperate, although this restaurant is a hotel, but in fact, everything in it is the chef's final say, and the daily profit is half divided. Speaking of which, the hotel owner has a vision, and this move seems to be a loss-making business, but in fact it is a win-win situation. ”
"It's really good, but the most important thing is that the chef has skills, otherwise the hotel owner wouldn't be stupid and beg him to cooperate." Cai Hongming commented
"That is, this chef is the top figure in the chef industry in Shencheng."
Cai Hongming has also eaten this dish, but I have to say that this dish tastes really good today.
He liked one of the grass circles, which refers to the large intestine, and the grass heads are alfalfa. The practice of large intestine is similar to that of Lu cuisine's nine-turn large intestine and Cantonese cuisine's crispy large intestine, except that one is fried at the end and the other is stewed. When serving, the grass is stir-fried and the bottom is laid, and then the stewed large intestine is placed on top. Because the rectum has a large diameter, when it is cooked in a pot of boiling water, it is like a soft round rod, and after slicing the intestine, it becomes a small circle, so it is called a grass head circle.
When eating, the large intestine and alfalfa are sandwiched together, one is a vegetable, the other is meat, meat and vegetables are accompanied by a natural harmony, and the most important thing is that the taste is very good.
There is also a jasper beef tendon, which is boiled and cooled and sliced with various ingredients, and sliced one by one like transparent citrine, sparkling in the light. The bite is soft and rotten in the mouth with a toughness, and the taste is salty and sweet, sweet and salty, which is extremely rare.
There is also a local specialty, Nanxiang xiaolong.
Nanxiang Xiaolong, formerly known as "Nanxiang Big Meat Steamed Bun", "Nanxiang Big Steamed Bun", "Guyiyuan Xiaolong", also known as "Nanxiang Xiaolongbao" and "Nanxiang Xiaolong Steamed Bun", has always been famous for its thin skin, many fillings, heavy marinade and fresh taste. The appearance is small and exquisite, resembling a pagoda, crystal clear yellow, and the taste is delicious.
Nanxiang xiaolong's skin is thin and filling, so if you bite it directly, you will either be scalded and stick out your tongue, or the soup will be lost due to a big bite.
The correct way to eat is to take a small bite on the xiaolong, bite out a small hole, and then suck and taste the soup beautifully, and then eat the skin and filling of the bun. After eating, diners summed up one sentence: one bite to open the skylight, two mouthfuls to drink soup, three bites to eat up.
Chu Chu likes to eat this Nanxiang xiaolong the most, and almost all the xiaolongs on the table have entered her mouth.
"Chu Chu, it's delicious!" Ruan Tianxuan asked, seeing that the little guy ate so happily, even his appetite was much better.
"Mmmm," Chu Chu nodded and swallowed, while pointing to the dishes on the table and said, "This is delicious, this is delicious, this is also delicious, and that shrimp and shrimp are not delicious." My dad's shrimp and shrimp are delicious. Let me tell you, my father's shrimp and shrimp are so big, he slices them with a knife and puts caviar on them, and they are very delicious. Uncle, you must not have eaten it. ”
"I've never eaten such a big shrimp," Ruan Tianxuan finished speaking, and looked at Cai Hongming, "Bragging!" Where did you get such a big shrimp on your farm? ”
Looking at Chu Chu's appearance just now, the shrimp is almost one meter, how can he believe it?
"It's not a farm, it's the lobster I caught when I went to sea when I returned to my hometown during the Spring Festival the year before last, and I was lucky to catch a few."
"There are a few more, and one is against the sky. So big, do you know what the price is in China? It's a waste to eat it like this. In the future, if there is such a thing, you will also call me, I have never eaten such a big lobster. ”
"Actually, the lobster meat is not delicious, there is a smell of it. If you want to eat it, I'll give you a little nine-section shrimp, all of which are thirty centimeters long. ”
When Cai Hongming went to sea the year before last, he caught a lot of seafood in the sea and put it into the jade beads, because there was spiritual spring water in it, so these things not only multiplied quickly, but also grew a big one, but unfortunately Cai Hongming didn't dare to take it out at ordinary times, because he was afraid of being questioned where he got it from.
"Really, I've never eaten such a big nine-section shrimp."
"Of course, I'll have someone contact you directly when it's ready to be packed."
"Thank you then."
The two were talking while eating, when an old man with gray hair and wearing casual clothes walked next to him. The old man came to Ruan Tianxuan's side and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xuan, what are you talking about?" So happy. ”
As soon as Ruan Tianxuan saw the old man, he hurriedly got up. Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly followed and stood up. Only Chu Chu still threw his head and ate violently, not caring about anything.
"Sit down, sit, you're welcome." The old man hurriedly said.
Ruan Tianxuan brought a chair from the side for him to sit on, and when he sat down, they sat down.
"Hongming, let me introduce you, this is the chef of the restaurant, Master Liang, and an elder in my family, we call him Uncle Liang." Ruan Tianxuan introduced.
"Hello Uncle Liang." Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er heard that they were Ruan Tianxuan's elders, so they hurriedly got up and said hello.
"You're welcome, sit down! I know you, young man. Liang Bo smiled.
"Oh, Uncle Liang, how did you meet Hongming." Ruan Tianxuan said strangely. As far as he knows, his elder's favorite thing is cooking, and there is usually no entertainment at all except for the kitchen at home, so he is very curious about how the old man knows Cai Hongming.
"Can't I know each other?"
Liang Bo pretended to be angry, but he was not this kind of person, and immediately smiled: "Last time, my grandson was noisy and said that he wanted to go to the movies, so he had to follow. Who knew that this little guy didn't want to go to the movie at all, but wanted a movie ticket, and as soon as the movie was over, he ran to redeem the doll he liked. Young man, I didn't contribute to the box office for that doll! ”
"Thank you, Uncle Liang."
Cai Hongming was said to be a little embarrassed.
In good conscience, that super bull is really not good, if it weren't for the black and white dolls and all kinds of discounts from the super barbecue restaurant, it is not certain whether the movie can break 100 million.
"Uncle Liang, you don't know! Hongming, is he still the owner of the Super Wild Beef Barbecue Restaurant? Ruan Tianxuan said to Liang Bo.
"Oh, that's so young and promising! Now you young people really can't be underestimated. Liang Bo sighed a little, and said, "It just so happens that I want a batch of yak meat recently, I see that the yak meat in your store is good, can you give me a little even." ”
"Uncle Liang, isn't our restaurant cooking Chinese food? What do you want beef jerky. Ruan Tianxuan said in surprise.
"You don't know, everyone likes to eat yak meat now, and people who have been to the barbecue restaurant say that the yak meat in his shop tastes good, so I'm going to take a batch of yak meat over and see if I can make a few new dishes. Actually, what I want the most is a turtle lake caviar called 'Godturtlelake' that has recently come out on the market. I have eaten this kind of caviar, soaked in Chinese herbal medicines, sweet with salty, salty with sweet, not like those caviar on the market are salty and salty, very suitable for our own dishes, but unfortunately not available on the market. Liang Bo sighed.
Ruan Tianxuan listened to it and said leisurely: "Uncle Liang, now you can find the main master, Hongming is the boss of the caviar in Turtle Lake, you can tell him as much as you want, it's not a matter of words." ”
When Liang Bo heard this, he was overjoyed, held Cai Hongming's hand and said, "Then please." ”
Cai Hongming thought for a while and said: "Originally, our domestic agency has been given to the boss of Qingyun Langyuan in the capital, I can't interfere too much, but if the amount that Uncle Liang wants is not very large, I can call her and ask her to send some for you." If you want to do it next year, you have to place an order in advance, otherwise this caviar is really selling well, and the quantity is not very large. ”
"In this case, then you can ask her to send me fifty boxes first, and I will order a few more next year."
"Hmm." Cai Hongming did things neatly, and immediately called Qingyun and Shizuka to ask them to solve the matter of caviar and yak meat.
After making the call, he suddenly saw Uncle Liang's right hand trembling, this was the seventh time he had seen it, and he couldn't help but care: "Uncle Liang, your hand is fine!" ”
"You see?" Liang Bo raised his right hand and smiled self-deprecatingly: "This is the root cause of my illness in my early years as an apprentice in the kitchen. At that time, life was hard, and if you were an apprentice in the kitchen, you would be beaten and scolded if you were not careful, and once you accidentally smashed your hand with something, and I didn't dare to say it for fear of being scolded, so I endured it. At that time, the family was poor, and I didn't go to the doctor, thinking that patience would pass, who knew that I didn't feel it when I was young, and when I was old, my hands began to tremble, and it was useless to see any doctors. I've seen it now, just shake it, and it won't affect the stir-fry. ”
In the past, it was not easy to get ahead in some industries, and many started as apprentices.
This is especially true in the kitchen.
Go to the kitchen as an apprentice, the first is to do chores, that is, to take out the garbage and take things, etc., and then it may be to kill fish and ducks, and then it may be to cut things, or it is to help the chef, if you are lucky, you can learn something, if you want to fry on the stove, you have to see people's appreciation, someone gives you a chance, otherwise you may have a life of doing chores for the rest of your life.
The people at that time were miserable!
Even now, it is not so easy for a new chef who has just left school to stir-fry food directly in the hotel, and it has to be investigated.
Cai Hongming looked at his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Liang, you don't know, right!" My family is eight generations of ancestral Chinese medicine orthopedics, making movies and opening a shop is just my sideline, this is my family's main business, do you mind, can you let me see your hands? ”
"It's not good, you're still eating?" Liang Bo hurriedly waved his hand.
Although he also hoped that his hands would be good, he couldn't do such a thing when the guests were eating.
"It's okay, let's take a look at it first, if you want to massage, wait until you're done." Cai Hongming smiled and said it was okay.
Liang Bo excused himself again and again, seeing that he really didn't mind before agreeing.
Cai Hongming grabbed his hand, pressed it down from his arm, and asked what he felt while pressing, and by the end of his fingertips, he basically understood the situation. Just now, I looked at it by touching my hands, and I also poked out a wisp of vitality into his hand to observe, and found that he was an old injury, and it was a bit troublesome to heal. If it had been changed before, it would have been cured at all, but fortunately, he has now refined some plasters, and after eating later, he will be able to see the effect in a week after he pushes the uterus and invigorates the blood.
After seeing the condition and understanding the situation, Cai Hongming and the others continued to eat, and only after eating did they come to an unmanned room to treat Liang Bo's injuries. (To be continued.) )
