Chapter Forty-Eight: Cooking and Tea Ceremony
Two hours later, came to the town at the foot of the Yellow Mountain, at the request of Li Yuxin, the two entered a more elegant sprinkle building, and there was a sign hanging on the door of the building, with the words "Zhaoke Building" written on it.
There were several tables in the hall, and only one table sat two people dressed as scholars. The two of them chose a remote corner and sat down. Xiao Er came up and said, "Two guest officers, what kind of food do you want, what kind of wine do you eat?" and touched the head of the big ape with his hand and said, "Two guest officers, where did you find such a cute big white ape? Our hotel is well-known and well-known throughout the province, with famous chefs and chefs, and merchants from near and far all come here. β
Li Yuxin saw that Xiao Er was wordy, frowned and said, "Little Er, report a few of your best dishes, let me hear about it." Xiao Er immediately said in a loud voice: "Okay, our restaurant is mainly based on Hui cuisine, and there is a master chef of Hui cuisine, who was invited by my master for hundreds of taels of silver." The dishes he makes, even if they are dignitaries and emperors, are rarely eaten, such as Cuidi Spring Dawn, Pearl Balls, Paper Wrapped Three Fresh, Fang Waxed Fish, Welcome Pine... He talked a lot, and it was obvious that he was used to being tongue-in-cheek. Zhang Xuanmeng and Li Yuxin had to frown and listen.
This Xiao Er was talking happily, when he suddenly heard someone slap the table and shouted: "Xiao Er, what kind of cowhide are you bragging, you come over to see what kind of dish this is cooking?" It was one of the two scholars.
When Xiao Er heard this, he hurriedly ran over, bowed down and said, "Two guest officers, which dish is not to the taste?"
The man in the royal blue silk robe said: "These five dishes are not palatable, so take them and remake them." Xiao Er said aggrievedly: "This master, our chef has the best skills, and these dishes are his specialties, how can they not be delicious? Master, you can taste it again." β
The man shouted, "Poor mouth." He pointed to a plate of spring bamboo shoots and said, "Let me ask you, what kind of dish is this?" Xiao Er said: "Su Causeway Spring Dawn." The man asked, "Do you know how to make this dish?" Xiao Er said, "Master, of course the little one knows, this is to use the best Zhengshan bamboo shoots to cut into pieces, put in boiling water and cook a little, take them out, add salt and other ingredients, mix well, yard them in the center of the plate, and then fry the bowl of bean sprouts and surround the bamboo shoots, isn't this exact?"
The man said, "It's right, it's just the wrong color." The reason why it is called Sudi Spring Dawn is that it should be matched with the tender green and milky white color in order to reveal a refreshing breath and show the meaning of Sudi Spring Dawn. If the Su Causeway is a scenery of this color, how can it attract tourists? People who have seen the spring scenery of the Su Causeway will be angry if they see your dish. β
When Xiao Er saw what he said, he knew that he had met a eater, and said cautiously: "Yes, yes, master, what about these dishes?"
The man pointed to a plate of fish and said: "This plate of square preserved fish, should be made with mandarin fish as the material, with frying, slipping, steaming and other different methods, the fish should be raised and tailed, showing the momentum of Lingbo leaping, the meat slices are tomato colored, and the shrimp and crab are decorated." But this dish has obviously not been steamed, and the color is black, how can it be called a square preserved fish? Look at this paper package of three fresh, it should have been selected as a hen of the year, take the chicken breast to remove the fascia, and the lean ham meat, water mushroom together, cut into eight minutes wide, half an inch long thin slices, marinated with green onions, salt, ginger, sesame oil to taste, and then choose five inches square tissue paper, smeared with sesame oil, sprinkled with green onion foam, up and down a piece of chicken breast, a slice of mushrooms, a ham in the center, each wrapped into a rectangular bag of two and a half inches long, one and a half inches wide, fried in warm oil. And you see, this chicken is obviously last year's chicken, not the young hen of the year, how can it taste good?
Look at this hot pot againγγγγγγ "Along the way.
The little second child was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't help nodding yes. Zhang Xuanmeng and Li Yuxin also listened with relish on the side. After Xiao Er heard what he said, he said with a bitter face: "This master, our chef only has this skill, and he is already famous far and wide, so you can use it if you are wronged, right?"
The man said: "We came all the way to this shop just to taste the pure craftsmanship, how can we eat such famous dishes casually, and call your shopkeeper to come." β
The little two had to call the shopkeeper. After a while, the shopkeeper came out in a panic and bowed to the two of them: "Two guest officers, forgive me, our store relies on this signboard to attract business, and I will give these dishes to the two for free." β
The man said: "Shopkeeper, I know that it is not easy for you to do business, and I don't care about you, you take down all this dish, prepare the main ingredients and ingredients, and I will cook a few dishes to eat." β
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Guest officer, isn't this okay?" The man said: "What's wrong, I've studied cooking for a few years, and the most unaccustomed thing is the person who is indiscriminate." Prepare more ingredients, if there are guests here who are willing to eat my dishes, I will make a few more plates, so that they can also taste the real craftsmanship. β
At this moment, a few more people came into the shop, sat down at the empty table, and looked at the man. The shopkeeper saw that the man insisted on doing it, so he had to laugh and agree.
Li Yuxin beckoned to Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er, I will also order the dishes on the table of those two people, preferably made by that person himself." β
Zhang Xuanmeng said: "Yuxin, let's just eat something, don't trouble others." The man had heard this, and said with a smile: "You are not polite, I will make a few dishes for you, and invite you to taste them." Who else in this room would like to eat my food?"
A businessman who had just come in said, "I'll make two dishes too, thank you." The man said, "You're welcome." Although Zhang Xuanmeng felt that he couldn't go, but when he saw that there were still others who were troublesome to that person, he gave up and said with a smile: "Thank you for this brother." β
The man nodded and went into the kitchen. Li Yuxin said with a smile: "It's rare to be able to eat dishes cooked by celebrity chefs, how can you miss this opportunity, maybe you will never have this opportunity in the future." β
Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Er brought four dishes to them, and as soon as they were put on the table, the aroma was already in their nostrils. Li Yuxin was very happy, it was the four dishes that the man said.
Before the dishes were set, Xiao Er said, "Two guest officers, let me introduce you to you." This dish, green and white, is called Cuidi Chunxiao, and this fish is called Big Fish Retirement General......"
This little two was still submissive to that person just now, but when he said this, he talked endlessly and spit around. Li Yuxin was anxious to taste it, waved her hand and said, "Xiao Er, thank you for your kindness, you should be busy, we will call you if you have something." β
The little second was about to be eloquent, and when she said this, he had to laugh and say, "You two use it slowly, I'll go to dinner." After Xiao Er left, Zhang Xuanmeng picked up his chopsticks and went to pick vegetables, but was stopped by Li Yuxin with chopsticks.
Zhang Xuanmeng said: "What?" Li Yuxin put her finger on her mouth, "shhh Inserted four times in a row, the hairpin did not change color, and said with a smile: "Gluttonous cat, eat with confidence." β
