Chapter 14: The Old Cocket Holds Pearls
The reason why Wang Qinruo has the title of "gall phase" is not only because of his disgraceful wickedness, but also because he has a lump on his neck that looks like a bowl.
The lump has unclear edges and a normal skin color, and it is said that it can increase and disappear with the mood of the person.
Wang Qinruo didn't know how many famous doctors he had found for this, but he still couldn't find any good, so he cursed the doctors for being useless, and even killed many famous doctors who couldn't cure his lumps.
That's why Gu Ziying and Du Qingshan would say something like that.
"In short, Brother Du has a special status now, so don't take the initiative to provoke Wang Qinruo, let's leave after eating, if he sees you, it won't be good."
"yes." Gu Ziying also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Brother Du, let's go back quickly." β
Du Qingshan had the heart to wait and see the chef of Fengle Lou first, but the two of them were right, if Wang Qinruo found out, it would be another entanglement.
Therefore, he no longer insisted, and said, "It's okay." β
The three of them went out of room 213, and the bartender at the door hurriedly led the three of them downstairs, and just came to the staircase, but saw that the left and right of the stairs were full of guards from the government.
Seeing this, Gu Yi stopped and said to the bartender: "By the way, we made an appointment with Zhou Qiang to meet your new cook, and we almost forgot about it." β
"Oh." The bartender was very eye-catching, turned around and said, "Then Gu Gongzi, please go back to the house first, and I'll go to see if Miss Xiaochen is idle." β
"I can't be idle when I think about it." Gu Yi pouted towards the 211 room, "The first chef is also cooking himself, right?" β
"Gu Gongzi's magic machine."
The three of them returned to the room again, and Du Qingshan said with a smile: "It seems that if we don't leave the other side today, we won't be able to leave." β
"What kind of person, you have to bring officers and soldiers for a meal, when he is the emperor Laozi."
"Ahh
"Okay, I'll just say it." Gu Ziying sat back at the table, "Shall we stop ordering food?" β
"You feel free."
Gu Yi came to Du Qingshan's side in front of the window: "Brother Du likes the scenery of West Lake so much? β
"Looking at this lake from afar, it reminds me of the Bianhe River."
The Northern Song Dynasty took Bianliang as the center and established the "Caoyun Four Canals" composed of Huimin River, Jinshui River, Wuzhang River and Bianhe River.
The Bianhe River mentioned by Du Qingshan is one of the most important canals, which bears the six roads of Jiangnan, Huainan, Zhejiang, and Jinghu and north, and even the Cao Yun in Guanzhong has to be transshipped through the Bianhe River.
It can be said that the Bianhe River is the foundation of the founding of the country in Beijing.
"I heard that there is a scene of autumn water in Tokyo, what does Brother Du think, how does the scenery of West Lake compare to this?"
Du Qingshan came back to his senses from the ethereal memories and sighed deeply:
"Every late autumn, the waves of Bianshui are rolling, the reed flowers are like snow, the waves are striking the wind, and the sound of the water is clear, so it is called 'the sound of Bianshui autumn'. The tenderness of this West Lake water, living in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, is beautiful, and it is inevitable that there will be some small family spirits. β
Gu Yi: "I was born and grew up in Jiangnan, although I traveled to the Jianghuai area with my master, I have never set foot in the Central Plains area. β
"If you have a chance in the future."
Gu Yi and Du Qingshan looked at each other and smiled: "If you have a chance in the future, you will definitely go to Bianjing with Brother Du." β
The three of them were leisurely enjoying the scenery, but Song Guichen was in big trouble in the back kitchen.
After Wang Qinruo tasted the dishes she cooked, he was full of praise, and even ordered her in person, asking her to make an old clam pearl.
It wasn't difficult to make this dish, but the trouble was that the five mussels that had been delivered early in the morning seemed to have wings and were gone.
Everyone in the kitchen searched Fengle Building, but there was no trace of these five river mussels.
The ingredients purchased on the same day in Fengle Building, especially this kind of seafood and fish, are purchased and delivered early in the morning in order to ensure freshness.
This time was gone, and everyone was in a hurry, all around Song Guichen, looking at her nervously and silently.
The old mussel has pearls, and there is no mussel, what can be done?
Zhou Qiang frowned and said tentatively: "If I don't go and explain to Lord Wang, I will say that there are no river mussels in the building todayββ"
"No."
Song Guichen shook her head, she had heard Master and Gu Tixing mention Wang Qinruo, this person must be more expensive, he is used to being high, if his requirements are not met, he may do something.
It's just that even in the back kitchen of Fengle Building, she doesn't dare to say this openly, unless she doesn't want to live.
Zhou Qiang also knew that Wang Qinruo was not easy to offend, but now there was no other way.
"I'll go to Han Cai, if it doesn't work, go to Chief Meng, if the chief of the building comes forward, Lord Wang shouldn't care too much."
Song Guichen also shook his head, Han Song was just a small procurement, although Chief Meng was the head of the building, Wang Qinruo did not necessarily accept the love of the chief of the building.
Glancing around the spacious kitchen, there were two yuan fish in the bucket in the southwest corner, Song Guichen's eyes lit up, there is!
"Xiaochen, you don't want to replace the mussel with a yuan fish, right?"
Yueyue was beside Song Guichen, and when she saw her walking towards the wooden barrel, she immediately guessed Song Guichen's intentions.
"That's the only way to do it now."
Song Guichen scooped up the yuan fish and quickly washed it, then put it in a pot of boiling water to soak:
"Sister Yueyue, you chop the chicken over there into pieces, soak it and cook it and chop it into minced chicken; Aunt Mu, the pigeon eggs and winter melon balls are handed over to you. β
Seeing that Song Guichen had made up his mind to replace the river mussel with Yuan fish, although they had doubts, they were still busy, and Zhou Qiang was also waiting anxiously on the side.
Yuanyu, commonly known as Wang Ba.
Song Guichen used yuan fish instead of river mussels, first, the yuan fish is delicious, the nutritional value is extremely high, known as "gourmet five-flavor meat";
Second, the appearance of the yuan fish is also similar to the river mussel, as long as it is handled properly, the yuan fish can also make the appearance of the river mussel with pearls.
However, what Zhou Qiang is worried about is not Song Guichen's craftsmanship, but the meaning of Yuanyu.
Although the Yuan fish tastes good, not many people are willing to order this dish, if Lord Wang knew that Feng Le Lou served him not a river mussel, but Wang Ba, what would he think?
The more Zhou Qiang thought about it, the more she felt that it was better to let the building chief go and ask Wang Qinruo for a favor and make it clear.
He was anxious, and suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance, and couldn't help but be attracted by this fragrance: "Is it almost good?" β
"I've tried my best to save time." Song Guichen didn't have a good airway, "The Yuan fish originally had to be steamed for half an hour to give full play to its umami. β
Zhou Qiang smiled: "This fragrance has already hooked my mouth, I don't expect Lord Wang to taste the difference." β
Yueyue: "Xiaochen, what did you put in it, this fragrance makes me drool." β
"I poured a little southern wine."
At this time, the pigeon eggs and winter melon balls on Aunt Mu's side have been cooked.
Song Guichen uncovered the lid, took out the fresh shellfish in the pot with the yuan fish and hammered it into a puree, stirred it with the chicken minced meat, put in the cold chicken soup, egg white, scallion oil, salt, continued to stir well, squeezed into balls and put them in the soup pot, and put the pigeon eggs and winter melon balls into the soup pot together, covered the lid, and continued to steam.
After steaming another stick of incense, Song Guichen opened the lid of the pot, and everyone was already hooked by the fragrance of the steamed fish, and they all came up at this time.
I saw the fish knife pattern in the pot, like a mussel shell, and the belly of the yuan fish contained a pearl, which was bright and smooth.
Zhou Qiang swallowed her saliva and dispelled her original worries.
This dish, if he hadn't been on the scene, he would never have guessed that this "river mussel" was replaced by a yuan fish.
"Brother Zhou, let's go quickly, Lord Wang should be in a hurry."
