Chapter 187: Off Topic Dinner (1)
"That's nature, that's nature!
My Li family will fully support the work of the county!
In fact, supporting the work of the county is ultimately benefiting the people of Muping......" the head of the Li family said with a smile.
"Li Yuanwai has the talent of a general, born in the small county town of Muping, it is really a talent!
Under the leadership of Li Yuanwai, the Li family will also be more brilliant! Zhang Junping smiled and complimented the head of the Li family.
The two of them complimented each other, said some polite words, and didn't get to the point for a long time.
Zhang Junping was also patient and accompanied the head of the Li family to pull slowly.
Usually, Zhang Junping doesn't like to be so grinding, he is used to speaking and doing things neatly on weekdays.
Zhang Junping is a who regards the head of the Li family as a task to be tackled by himself, in order to complete the task, not to mention chatting with him, in his last life, he once lay on the ground for a day and two nights in order to complete the task.
Now the comparison between the two is to see who is more impatient, and whoever speaks first will fall behind.
After drinking two cups of tea, the dishes were served one after another.
"Zhixian, try this fish! This steamed large yellow croaker, the meat is delicate, smooth and ......, and it is the signature dish of Wanghai Pavilion!
The chef of this Wanghai Pavilion once studied in the Fan Tower in Beijing and studied with the master of the Fan Tower for ten years......
"Good, yes, this steamed big yellow croaker is really good!
However, it is a little lighter, and if you make a sauce-flavored large yellow croaker, the taste will be even better! Zhang Junping also followed the words of the head of the Li family and commented on the steamed big yellow croaker in front of him.
"Sauce-flavored big yellow croaker? Is this a newly invented dish of Kyoshi? The head of the Li family thought for a while, but he had never heard of this dish, let alone eaten it, so he asked.
Zhang Junping mentioned the sauce fragrant big yellow croaker, not because the steamed big yellow croaker is not delicious, on the contrary, this steamed big yellow croaker is the best steamed big yellow croaker he has ever eaten in his two lives.
It's just that he doesn't want to follow the words of the head of the Li family, otherwise, it will become a habit to follow it.
"Probably not, right? I don't know, but it's easy!
After the soybean oil is heated, add the green onion, ginger and garlic, add the soybean paste, stir-fry until fragrant, put in the large yellow croaker, wait for the fish to be slightly yellow on both sides, add water, simmer over low heat, and wait until the soup in the pot is almost collected, and then you can eat! Zhang Junping simply said the method of sauce-flavored large yellow croaker.
"Go, shopkeeper, call the chef!" The head of the Li family listened to Zhang Junping's words and instructed the people who were waiting around him.
The servant turned to go out, and after a while, the shopkeeper walked in with the chef.
"I've seen the magistrate, Master Li!"
"Just now, the magistrate said a dish, I asked Chef Wang to come over, I wanted to ask to see if Chef Wang could cook it!"
"I don't know what kind of dish the county officials are talking about?"
"Sauce fragrant big yellow croaker! I wonder if Chef Wang can do it? ”
"The magistrate of the county has atoned for his sins, the villain has studied art in Beijing for ten years, studied cooking for twenty years, and has never heard of this dish!" Chef Wang said humbly and proudly.
This Chef Wang, who is in his forties this year, has a big shoulders and a round waist, and his cheeks are bulging, he is very rich and happy.
"This dish is very simple, let me tell you, Chef Wang pondered it, it shouldn't be difficult!" Then Zhang Junping said the method of sauce-flavored large yellow croaker again.
"Actually, this big yellow croaker can not only make sauce-flavored big yellow croaker, but also braised big yellow croaker!"
"Braised big yellow croaker? Dare to ask the magistrate of the county, how to make this braised big yellow croaker? Chef Wang was overjoyed when he saw Hunting, and hurriedly asked.
"Do you know about the carp?"
"Know! It's a famous dish for the ages, and most chefs know how to cook it! ”
"The method of braised large yellow croaker is similar to the method of braised carp!
You can try it for yourself!
Cooking, in fact, is innovation and development in continuous attempts!
In the future, if Chef Wang invents any new dishes, the official can taste it on his behalf, and when it comes to eating, the official still has some experience! "Zhang Junping and Chef Wang had a very speculative conversation.
The head of the Li family was not in a hurry, slowly sipping tea, and quietly listening to Zhang Junping and Chef Wang discussing cooking.
While discussing cooking with Chef Wang, Zhang Junping peeked at the head of the Li family, and saw that he had a natural demeanor and a peaceful mood, which showed that he was listening attentively to Zhang Junping and Chef Wang's discussion of cooking, as if he was very interested in cooking.
After discussing for a while, Chef Wang hurriedly ran back to the kitchen and began to try to make sauce-flavored large yellow croaker, braised large yellow croaker.
"I didn't expect Zhixian to be so proficient in cooking!"
"Huh! What makes Li Yuan laugh outside, this official doesn't have many preferences in his life, it's just that this tongue is so good that it's hard to control! ”
"Hahaha! What's the matter?
Throughout the ages, many celebrities and gentlemen have left many poems about food, which shows that it is delicious and loves to eat, which is an elegant thing! ”
At this time, the shopkeeper brought another dish, which was steamed prawns.
In this era, although there are already stir-fried dishes, there are not many varieties, and more are still steaming as the main cooking method.
"This pair of shrimp is the freshest when steamed, and it will not overshadow the deliciousness of the shrimp!
If you have a heavy mouth, you can use soy sauce vinegar and diced ginger to make a dipping sauce and eat it with dipping!
When steaming, you can also put the prawns in wine and soak them for a quarter of an hour, so that the steamed prawns will have a kind of wine aroma! Zhang Junping simply turned into a glutton, commenting on every dish that came up.
One or two different approaches are said each time.
The head of the Li family could only be patient and listen to Zhang Junping's comments on the food.
Listening to this, the head of the Li family actually felt that he was hungry, and unconsciously, he ate a lot and drank a lot of wine.
Groazed and returned home.
"Brother Li, how are you talking?" The heads of the other nine families were already waiting in the Li family.
"Ugh! I didn't talk about this today, and this matter can't be rushed!
We must first slowly build a good relationship with the magistrate before we can talk! The head of the Li family remembered that he had invited Zhang Junping to negotiate for the sake of negotiation, but he just listened to him talk about food and forgot about business, so he had to cover up in embarrassment.
"Brother Li is still thoughtful!
How about talking to the magistrate today? ”
"Well, although we didn't get down to business today, we talked very speculatively!
Wait, another day, I will invite Zhixian to Wanghai Pavilion to taste Chef Wang's new dishes, and then find an opportunity to talk to Zhixian about our affairs! Li Yuanwai sat on the chair, stroked his beard, and said seriously.
Talking about speculation, that's of course, I didn't see that I was all overwhelmed, and I was drunk, and I couldn't eat so much and drink so much without speculation?
"Wanghai Pavilion has launched a new dish?" The head of the Liu family was stunned for a moment and asked.
Wanghai Pavilion belongs to his Liu family, and he has new dishes, but he, the owner, doesn't know it.
"Chef Wang comprehended a few new dishes under the order of the county!
You can try it, the sauce-fragrant big yellow croaker, braised big yellow croaker, and the drunk shrimp of the East China Sea are all good! The head of the Li family said with a smile.
The other nine heads of the house did not realize that the topic had been diverted.
