089 Mountains and Seas
Yao Tiantian talked about the topic of cooking and cooking, Xiangzi swept away the gloom of Fang Cai, his expression suddenly soared, restored the young man's heart, and said proudly, "That's it, I, the second shopkeeper, started from the lowest level of the kitchen, and I became a chef, and I ran the hall for half a year before I was promoted to the second shopkeeper by the owner." ”
"So, Brother Xiangzi is a real chef" Yao Tiantian let go of the earlier messy speculation, stared at the big bright eyes, and said seriously, "Brother Xiangzi, hurry up and tell me, what kind of dishes will you cook?" ”
As she spoke, Yao Tiantian swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, she smiled and lowered her head embarrassedly.
Yao Tiantian's performance as a true gluttonous gourmand made Xiangzi, who has always been very conceited about his cooking skills, even more excited, he involuntarily slowed down, and said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Let's put it this way, as long as you can name the famous dish, I can make it." ”
Yao Tiantian secretly rolled her eyes, Xiangzi's words were equivalent to not saying it, she asked this on the one hand, she was greedy, on the other hand, she also wanted to understand what dishes were in the restaurants of this era, Xiangzi asked her to say by herself, she wanted to talk about a palace fried chicken, tomato scrambled eggs, alfalfa meat and other modern familiar home cooking, I'm afraid I haven't even seen the raw materials here.
Seeing Yao Tiantian hesitate, Xiangzi misunderstood, he thought that this little girl from the countryside had never been out, let alone a restaurant, and had never seen any dishes. He smiled reproachfully, rounded himself up, and said intoxicatedly, "I'll tell you about my best dish, this dish is said to be in our Qingshui Town, and the entire Ning County is very famous." ”
After a little pause, Xiangzi squinted his eyes slightly, and said intoxicatedly, "That year, the owner Guo Dad accidentally got a recipe, and not long ago we prepared all the ingredients according to the recipe, and I made a dish according to the recipe, and that dish was really delicious." ”
Because of the focus so professional, Yao Tiantian remembered this advertising slogan for no reason, she looked at Xiangzi's intoxicated and obsessed appearance, and knew that he really liked cooking, and had integrated cooking into his own blood and bones. What would be the dish that could make such a person who likes to cook intoxicated, Yao Tiantian's curiosity swelled suddenly, and he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of dish is this?" ”
"The name of this meal is 'Shanhai Soup'." With a proud smile on her face, Shoko gently spat out these words.
Yao Tiantian was excited, she hadn't figured out what was going on with a copy of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", it was a coincidence that any relative could meet 'Shanhai Soup'? Or is there some kind of connection?
Yao Tiantian was apprehensive in her heart, she didn't dare to ask the recipe rashly, but cautiously asked, "Shanhai soup?" It sounds like the name of some soup dishes, but what is it made of? ”
Xiangzi thought that this little country girl who had never seen the world was shocked by such an atmospheric dish name, he smiled at Yao Tiantian kindly, and explained, "There are many good things in this dish, and its main ingredient is the most unusual, which is the bamboo shoots we transported from afar, which is time-consuming, laborious and costly." However, it has also made our Guojia Restaurant famous in the surrounding area and has become the most famous restaurant in the area. ”
Yao Tiantian nodded, and whispered, "Indeed, bamboo shoots are a rare thing, we only found fresh spring shoots on the mountain a few days ago, and we don't know how to eat them." ”
"What? Do we have bamboo shoots around here? Xiangzi's eyes widened suddenly, grabbed Yao Tiantian's arm tightly, and asked eagerly, "Sister Tianniu, hurry up and tell my brother, where did you find the bamboo shoots?" ”
Looking at Xiangzi's eagerness, Yao Tiantian suddenly had an idea.
Because of the word 'mountains and seas', she has been worrying about how to come up with the recipe of this dish just now, and analyze whether it is related to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". This is not a small difficulty, you must know that the recipe is a chef's ability to eat, not to mention the recipe of such a dish that makes Guo's restaurant famous, Xiangzi will definitely not say it easily, if she asks rashly, it may backfire, if this dish is really related to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is to startle the snake.
Now, the topic of bamboo shoots is an opportunity. After the barren mountain of Yangjiatun became Baoshan, Da Zhuang and a few of them had found bamboo shoots on the mountain, when things were complicated, she didn't have time to figure out how to eat it, this Xiangzi actually used it to use famous dishes, and bamboo shoots were very rare.
Yao Tiantian blinked her watery eyes, pretending to be a little girl innocent, and said slyly, "Tell you where you found the bamboo shoots, but I have one condition." ”
"What conditions? Just say it! Shoko didn't realize that there was something wrong with holding a little girl's arm, so she immediately asked.
"It's just that you're willing to recite the recipe for this dish to me." Yao Tian turned her head away and put forward a seemingly absurd condition like a naughty little girl.
"Recipes?" After listening to Yao Tiantian's words, Xiangzi looked stunned, and let go of Yao Tiantian's arm dejectedly, "Recipes can't be passed on." ”
"It's really stingy, I'm not a chef, and I don't open a restaurant, I'm just curious to ask, and I see that it scares you." Yao Tiantian pursed her lips, pretended to be angry, and muttered, "Hmph, when I go back, I will uproot that piece of bamboo shoots and chop them all up and feed them to the chickens!" ”
"Don't, don't spoil the good stuff." Xiangzi looked distressed, waved his hand again and again, he was entangled for a while, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and chanted "The tender ones who pick bamboo shoots and ferns in spring, they have been reduced to soup, take the fresh fish and shrimp and cut them into pieces, soak them in soup and wrap them in steam, mix them with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, ground pepper and mung bean flour skin, add a drop of vinegar, and enter this garden more in the future, and the famous shrimp and fish shoots and fern soup." Today, with the difference between the beans, it is also a good encounter. Famous mountain and sea soup, or that soup with bamboo shoots and ferns, is also good. Fu Shiyun: 'Take advantage of the spring of bamboo shoots and ferns in the mountain family, and borrow the kitchen to cook and brag about yourself. Who will share my cup of soup and send it to the carnivores of China and North Korea. ’”
Listening to Xiangzi's recitation, Yao Tiantian's heart let go of half of it, the name of this mountain and sea soup comes from his raw materials, which is the bamboo shoots grown in the mountains and the fish and shrimp fished out of the sea are steamed and boiled together, so it is named Shanhai soup, and there seems to be no secret hidden in it.
However, the poem attached to the back of the recipe is a bit famous, was it improvised by the person who invented the dish? How complacent it is to say "to the flesh-eaters of China and North Korea", this is the mentality that can only be had after seeing through the calm of the powerful and wealthy people returning to the mountains and forests, and the mentality of enjoying themselves after watching those former enemies or friends who are still in the camp.
So, the question is, how did the private recipe created by such a wealthy person who also used to drill in Beijing come about? Who are his old friends from China and North Korea who eat meat every day? Does it have anything to do with people looking for the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Yao Tiantian was stunned, Xiangzi looked at her distracted, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of her eyes in confusion, "Hey, hey, what do you want?" Are you listening to me? ”
"Uh" Yao Tiantian was stunned for a moment, retracted his thoughts, frowned, and said in a disguised manner, "What kind of recipe is this, obviously he is making poetry, Brother Xiangzi is lying." ”
"You!" Xiangzi smiled a little bitterly, suppressed his anger, and said patiently, "So you are pondering the stubble, and you haven't heard what I said?" ”
Yao Tiantian really didn't hear what Xiangzi said later, not only shrugged her shoulders a little embarrassed, but said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiangzi, if you want bamboo shoots, I'll take you to the mountains to find them one day." ”
"Hey, you" Xiangzi stomped his feet, "Forget it, forget it, after grandma's birthday feast, I'll go to your Yangjiatun and discuss this matter with your patriarch." ”
As soon as Xiangzi's words fell, there was a displeased roar of the tiger girl in front of him, "Xiangzi, what are you grinding and chirping, I don't know if the finale of grandma's birthday feast is still waiting for you to do it?" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Xiangzi's face, Yao Tiantian blinked, expressed understanding, made a chasing posture at the back of the tiger girl, and whispered, "I'm angry, hurry up." ”
Xiangzi bowed to the fifth grandmother and said embarrassedly, "Auntie, ......"
The fifth grandmother waved her hand understandingly, "Let's go quickly, we can't let my old sister wait in a hurry, she is a birthday star today." ”
Several people quickened their pace, and after a while, Guo Jiatun was in sight from afar. Hu Niu's father is worthy of opening a restaurant in the town, his family's house is built in a particularly grand manner, plus today is the 60th birthday of his old lady, people come and go endlessly, no one else needs to guide the way, Yao Tiantian also knows which is the home of this wealthy rich man Guo.
Looking at the lively scene in front of her, the fifth grandmother couldn't wait, her feet were getting faster and faster, and she almost trotted into the magnificent yard, and greeted in a loud voice, "Old sister, Cuihua has come to see you." ”
"Sister Cuihua, I can look forward to you, if you don't come again, I will personally go to the mountain beam to meet you." is worthy of being a good sister, Grandma Huniu is also a loud voice, she said to the people, with a smile on her face, and hurried out to greet her.
The two sisters haven't seen each other for several years, and when they meet, they naturally greeted each other affectionately, and then Grandma Huniu glanced at an unknown little girl who followed Grandma Wu, rubbed her eyes, and asked strangely, "I haven't seen you for a few years, how did that child become so quiet, like a little girl." ”
"Haha, haha, haha......" The fifth grandmother laughed loudly, she laughed while wiping her tears with her hands, and explained, "Old sister yells, your eyes are really flowered, where is this Da Zhuang that soil boy, this is our niece of Mr. Tun Yao, this child has no parents, and he is closest to me, this time he is with me to pay your birthday." ”
