Chapter 266: The World's Delicious Xiaolongbao
Xu Qianqian's face flushed, and she said quietly: "I know that people can't be fierce to you, so I begged to come over in vain, it's really bad!" ”
Xie Shen spread his hands and said, "If you don't like me, I won't say it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The two looked at each other, and there was a flash of admiration in their eyes......
"I'm ready, and I'll pick up the wind and wash the dust for the old man at lunchtime."
Xie Shen really couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, and said lightly with a cough.
"I also invited a few old people, all of whom are from Zhejiang and are good friends with Master Xu. Originally, I wanted to go to the restaurant for a banquet, but the home-cooked food was more fragrant......"
"Well, it's not you who cook it yourself, the gentleman cooks far away, and my father will be unhappy."
Xie Shen smiled: "I asked the chef in the house to make it, don't worry." ”
Xu Qianqian hummed lightly and didn't say anything more.
The time spent alone is always short, and it quickly arrives at noon.
After a short rest, Old Master Xu and Old Lady Han walked out of the bedroom and went to the flower hall under the service of the servants.
As the planner of the reception banquet, Xie Shen is directing the Xu Mansion to arrange the necessary decorations.
Seeing that Master Xu and his wife Han were walking together, Xie Shen hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "I have seen the old lady in my late life, the old lady." ”
Xu Guan smiled: "It's time for Xianxu to change his words." ”
Xie Shen smiled rather embarrassedly and said, "I've seen Old Taishan, Old Taishui." ”
The Han family was about fifty years old, and he was naturally very happy to see that Xie Shen was dignified and knew how to count etiquette.
As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at how her son-in-law likes it, and the same is true for the Han family.
This was the first time she had seen Xie Shen, but she felt sincerely gratified.
Finding such a good person, she has no regrets in this life.
"Old Taishan, Lao Tai water is on top, and the son-in-law prepared a table of wine banquet for Lao Taishan and Lao Tai Shui. A few Zhejiang elders may also come to sit in the house. ”
As he was talking, the housekeeper welcomed several bigwigs from the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China in, and the most familiar with Xie Shen were naturally Xie Qian and Wang Hua.
"Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Xie Qian took the first step and bowed his hand to Xu Guan, his voice full of warmth.
He thought that Xu Guan would not survive this wind disease, and it was likely to lead to this, but he never thought that Xu Guan would be cured.
Wang Hua came before anyone arrived: "Brother Yuan, the old man wants to have a few drinks with you today, and he won't return home if he doesn't get drunk!" ”
The other person, Xie Shen, looked at Mian Sheng, but he should also be an official of Zhejiang Province.
In this seat, Xie Shen's official position and seniority are the smallest, and it is natural that he should sit in the last seat.
Miss Xu and Han were not allowed to sit because they were female dependents.
The Ming upper class still has a set of rules, and it cannot be exceeded in the slightest.
But because it is a family banquet, the number of etiquette does not have to be so careful, so Han and Miss Xu can open another table in the flower hall to have a banquet together.
Several old adults sat down, and Xie Shen glanced at the housekeeper.
One after another, the Xu Mansion came to the table with dishes.
It started out as a bit of a cold fight, and there was nothing worth introducing.
But the next hot dishes were carefully prepared by Xie Shen, and he specially taught the chef in the house to make them.
"Wansheng prepared a few dishes, and invited a few elders to try them."
"This one is cherry meat."
Xie Shen introduced with a smile: "Take fresh pork and cook it with cherries, the taste is fragrant and sweet, and it is extremely delicious. ”
Xu Guan was also interested in hearing Xie Shen's introduction, and waved his hand: "The old man will taste it." ”
After speaking, he grabbed a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The rich, sweet aroma soon fills the mouth.
"Smooth but not greasy, fragrant and sweet, this cherry meat tastes really good."
Xu Guan swallowed the meat piece with satisfaction and sighed.
Xie Shenxin said that this Suzhou-style dish is similar to Zhejiang cuisine, and it really fits Xu Guan's appetite.
Xie Qian and Wang Hua also tried it when they heard this, and they all praised each other.
"The virtuous nephew has a heart."
"Brother Yuan has such a virtuous son-in-law, it is really the envy of the old man."
Xie Shen then introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, try this xiaolongbao again. ”
The most unique thing about the taste of xiao long bao is the delicious brine.
Xie Shen said lightly: "A few elders can first soak the buns in a vinegar dish, and then bite into it while sucking the marinade to taste its deliciousness." Then pour the vinegar sauce into the gap of the soup packet, and pick up the soup bag and send it to the mouth. ”
The predecessor of xiaolongbao can be traced back to the soup dumplings in the Northern Song Dynasty.
But the xiaolongbao that really developed to the later generations was still in the Qing Dynasty.
Xie Shen brought this kind of earthly delicacy to the middle of the Ming Dynasty in advance, and it is no wonder that several bigwigs were surprised.
This time, Wang Hua was the first to try, he first picked up the bun and dipped it in the vinegar dish, and then bit open a gap to suck the soup.
"This taste...... It's fresh. ”
The taste of the marinade was very delicious, so Wang Hua couldn't help but admire: "Do you want to pour vinegar into the bun again?" ”
He couldn't bear to break the original flavor of the buns, which was so special.
Xie Shen explained with a smile: "This xiaolongbao skin is thin and fresh, but if you don't add vinegar sauce, it will lose some taste, so let's give it a try." ”
Wang Hua nodded.
Xie Shen has said this, if he doesn't try again, it will be a little too hypocritical.
Wang Hua twisted the notched side of the bun into the vinegar dish and turned it slightly, and the vinegar sauce was poured into the bun.
"Mr. Wang, this bun should be put in your mouth at one time."
Wang Hua couldn't care about the elegant posture when he heard this, and swallowed the soup bag in one gulp.
Vinegar sauce, meat filling, and marinade converge together to stimulate Wang Hua's taste buds.
Needless to say, Wang Hua just wants to savor the wonder of this taste at the moment.
Xie Shen was very proud in his heart.
Adding crab roe to this xiao long bao will make it even more delicious, and it is definitely the trick to conquer the taste buds.
Xie Qian and Xu Guan suspiciously picked up the steamed buns and started eating them, and they all praised them after only half of them: The taste of this xiaolongbao is much better than that of soup dumplings.
The reason why Xie Shen chose xiaolongbao as the staple food is because it is very close to the taste of the people in Jiangnan.
And the bigwigs here are all from Zhejiang, and it is definitely a good thing to be able to eat hometown-style buns in Beijing.
And xiaolongbao is a complete innovation that has never been done before.
The pleasure that is difficult to describe in words has rekindled the desire for food from several bigwigs who are worried about the country and the people.
Xie Shen saw that the response was so good, so he had the idea of opening a restaurant in Beijing.
Xiao Long Bao is the signature and can also be added with some private dishes.
Anyway, only Xie Shen knows the recipe of these dishes, and he can also directly use the chef of the Xu Mansion to take charge of the spoon, and it should not be imitated by his peers in a short time.
However, opening a restaurant requires running water, and it also needs to deal with all kinds of ruffians, which is difficult to raise in a short period of time, and it also needs to be considered in the long run.
Xie Shen was thinking to himself, but Xie Qian coughed and said, "Virtuous nephew, this xiaolongbao ...... Anything else? ”
