[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] In the water pavilion with the charm of Jiangnan, a large round table is placed in the center, and ten diners are sitting on their knees, tasting the food carefully prepared by the chefs of Nanjing.

"The ancients used to say that they hated anchovies for being spiny, but they were just anxious."

"The saury has no spines? How is it cooked? ”

"Can you make crab flavor with yellow croaker?"

The diners tasted and gave their opinions, and if they could praise them, the cook's face would be more and more bright.

"Retranslate Lou Gao Sheng Feng Gao Master to make squirrel carp!" After reading the signature, the chief steward clearly reported his name and brought up the squirrel carp made by Gao Shengfeng.

The governor of Caoyun invited a few chopsticks: "Please, Lord Zhao, Feng Imperial Chef, try this squirrel carp." But it's a famous dish in our Nanjing City. ”

That Lord Zhao didn't speak after tasting it. Feng Wanfu, who was invited as a judge, tasted it very sophisticated: "The soup is thin and thick, and the knife skills are fine, which is really good." ”

"It's just that it's been out of the pot for a long time, and the soup is poured early, so it's not worthy of the word squirrel." The conversation was about a young boy sitting next to Lord Zhao.

Several adults present were slightly stunned, glanced at each other, and just waited for his next step.

Lord Zhao glared at him slightly: "Shaft!" ”

Gao Shengfeng listened to the young man's words, his face twitched slightly, but he didn't dare to ask, he wanted to ask why he didn't deserve the word squirrel when he poured the soup early. This hairless brat with a mouth. The imperial chef didn't say anything about himself, but this kid was full of nonsense.

The governor of Caoyun stopped Lord Zhao and said very expectantly: "The virtuous nephew said that it doesn't matter, everything has me." ”

That Zhao Gongzi hooked the corners of his mouth and said loudly: "The voice and color are concrete." Although Master Gao's appearance is similar, there is no sound. When the fish is served in soup, the sound is like the squeak of a squirrel, isn't it more worthy of its name? ”

The political envoy immediately clapped his hands and said, "What the virtuous nephew said is very true. The day before yesterday, I ate a 'flat thunder' on the Lemin Building, which is the topping that is poured again when it is served, and the crackling is just like thunder outside the sky. ”

Several adults couldn't help but nod their heads in approval.

Gao Shengfeng thought about it carefully, and sure enough, it was so. He wrote down how he wanted to change the habit of pouring soup out of the pot.

When it was Chen Mao's turn, he nervously handed over the fish ball soup. A master like Master Gao was picked by this Zhao Gongzi, and Rui Xue did it, he was really worried.

He paid special attention to the young man's expression. From what he heard, he knew that this son knew how to eat and was also particular. In his mouth, what exactly is this bowl of fish ball soup?

Took a sip of the soup and took another sip. Took a bite of the fish balls and ate another one. He raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and every movement fell into Chen Mao's eyes.

Chen Mao shook hands nervously. What would he say, is it okay for Rui Xue to do it?

It's a pity that he didn't speak, Feng Wanfu didn't speak, and even the adults didn't speak. Chen Mao was defeated. Without a word of appreciation, he was completely defeated.

"All the fish?" The governor of Caoyun asked the stewards around him, and after receiving a response, he asked everyone to give their own evaluations.

The commander of the five major and three rough all smiled: "It's still you who say." I'm a big guy, and I think everything is good. ”

Several adults laughed, and because the envoy was the supreme governor of Nanzhi, everyone turned their eyes to him.

The political envoy smiled slightly: "What do you want me to do?" Is there a person who can taste it and still call me an axe for this layman? Feng Yu Chef? ”

Feng Wanfu said modestly: "It's still Zhao Gongzi who said." ”

Zhao Gongzi bowed slightly, and said generously: "The student only cares about this dish today." He then ordered the squirrel carp.

All the cooks looked at the young Zhao Gongzi in surprise. Waiting for him to give a reason. Chen Mao only felt a burst of desolation.

"The quality of a dish is seven points in the ingredients, and three points in the taste. Therefore, these masters who make saury and anchovy are not selected. ”

When a sentence was spoken, the masters who had carefully made saury and anchovy were stunned. Why! Are the ingredients they choose bad? If it weren't for the large group of adults present at this time, they would rush over and reason with the hairy child.

The political envoy cleared his throat: "Virtuous nephew, isn't this anchovy and saury delicious?" ”

"Delicious is delicious." Zhao Gongzi readily admitted, "Today's steamed anchovy is the best anchovy that my little nephew has ever tasted." ”

The named master is about to jump to his feet. Since he said that the anchovy he made tasted the best, what kind of reason did he not choose?

Soon, Zhao Gongzi's words changed: "However, the student just said that the quality of a dish is seven points in the ingredients and three points in the taste." ”

Chen Mao was attracted by the son's words. He was exactly the same as Wang Jiuzhi's teachings, and he wanted to hear why he said those people were not doing well.

"Not to mention that the anchovies will die when they leave the water, and there are only a few live fish left in a bucket sent to the capital! Let's just talk about the season of tasting. Anchovy and saury taste best only in this month or the following month. However, this time it is for the Wanshou Festival, but the Wanshou Festival is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

The adults nodded their heads.

Feng Wanfu also said: "Exactly." Every year, only three or four anchovies are live, which is a pity. ”

Gao Shengfeng couldn't help but nod after hearing this. What this son said is very reasonable, he happened to give up his good dish steamed anchovy today.

"Since we are performing in Nanzhili, we must have the characteristics of our Nanzhili, so that people can know that it is our Nanzhili's dish. Therefore, marine fish are not included in this case. Compared with the cooks in Fujian and Guangdong, the kung fu of several masters will inevitably not be revealed. ”

After the boy talked about it, there were only two dishes left in front of the boy - squirrel carp and fish ball soup.

"Today's fish ball soup is very delicious. The soup is fresh, and the fish balls are also fresh. However, when I tasted it carefully, the fish was older, and it would have been good if it had been served in the pot earlier, so the students thought that this squirrel carp was the best. He bowed slightly to the adults present, "The students are also invited to Uncle Haihan." ”

The political envoy laughed: "Yes, it is really good." Of course, we have to offer our local cuisine. I also think this squirrel carp is very good, what do you think? ”

Several adults said that, and there is also the fact that squirrel carp is a local dish.

The Governor of Caoyun turned sideways and asked, "Master Song, why don't you say it?" ”

The middle-aged man in the moon-white robe smiled slightly: "I also think that the squirrel carp is good, but I think this fish ball soup is better." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm a businessman down there. Businessmen are profitable. What I am thinking about next is, can our chefs who perform in Nanzhili be a blockbuster and provoke the favor of the saints? As long as the saint says yes, it is the benefit of our Nanzhili. Master Song's words were agreed by all the adults, and after he looked around, he continued, "Therefore, as Zhao Gongzi said, in addition to the taste, we are most particular about the ingredients. The next thing I think about is that in addition to whether this ingredient is beneficial, it should also be beneficial to the long-lived dragon body. Long live the old age, the imperial doctor often prescribes to eat more light things, although the squirrel carp is sweet and sour and appetizing, but it is not often eaten. This fish ball soup, I taste like fish soup, isn't it better to taste fish soup? ”

Feng Wanfu looked at Master Song strangely, he actually knew the imperial doctor's orders?

Several adults nodded their heads, yes! It is the best choice to benefit the dragon body, and if the imperial doctor's instructions are contrary to the dragon body, it will be very bad. After all, squirrel carp can't be eaten as often as fish ball soup.

"But this fish ball is a thing from Fujian." That Zhao Gongzi retorted, "When the student followed his father in Wuchang, it was common for the locals to make fish balls; I also heard that Fujian and Cantonese people also like to eat this thing. How can it be used as a dish of Nanzhili? Besides, although the fish balls are delicious today, they are a little older. The students still thought that this squirrel carp was the best. ”

A few adults are in trouble again, yes! After all, the fish balls are not their Nanzhili's thing, it is really difficult to do.

The governor of Caoyun turned his gaze to Master Song: "This problem is yours, I want to hear how you can solve it." ”

The political envoy also said, "Exactly." ”

The old man Song reluctantly took it, pondered for a moment, and said with difficulty: "I have an idea below, I don't know if I should talk about it." ”

The adults were worried about having no idea, and when they saw that Master Song had an idea, they all urged him to say it quickly.

The Governor was obviously very familiar with him, and said enthusiastically: "I know that you have a lot of ideas, so tell us about it." ”

Master Song grabbed the folding fan and tapped it lightly in his hand, and muttered, "Why don't you have another competition." It's a pity that a dish is decided or won. Let's have another question, eh...... I ordered them to make another dish that best represents our Nanzhili, or a dish from our Nanjing City. Let people know at a glance that it is our Nanjing, and Nanzhili respects it. What do you think? ”

"Good! Sure enough, it's good! The envoy clapped his hands and immediately agreed. He is the highest governor of Nanzhili, and he said yes, yes.

The political envoy was really in charge of civil affairs, and as soon as he had an idea, he immediately arranged it: "Come and let's discuss it, and see if there are still those who can enter." I tasted the boiled dried shreds before, and I thought it was good, light, and even people with bad teeth could eat it. It is also very good for the dragon body. ”

"Yes, that stewed crab roe lion's head is fine."

"That three-set duck is not bad either."

The political envoy suddenly waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He got up and walked to Master Song, and bowed slightly: "Song Xuanzhi is in the palace, and I also ask Brother Song to help me with one or two." ”

Originally, a businessman appeared here, which made the Zhao family father and son slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, he had a family in the palace for him. No wonder I want to invite this old man Song, from his mouth, you can also know the emperor's preferences and tastes, which are details that outsiders don't know.

After ten people came up with a list, it was a long slip.

"Wu Yishan fried tofu, Tian Yanmen go fried chicken, Jiang Zhengtang ten kinds of pig's head, Wang Nanxi mixed sturgeon, Shi Fatzi pear shredded fried meat, Zhang Sihuizi whole sheep, Wang Yinshan boneless fish, Wang Wenmi mole cray, Guan Dagu Dong soup, Kong Xuan'an crab noodles, Xiaoshan monk Maanqiao, Zhou Qing'an boiled dried silk, Mao Er crystal trotters, Gao Sihai stewed crab roe lion head, Jiang Xijin three sets of duck, Gao Shengfeng squirrel carp, Chen Mao fish round soup!"

*

Starting from Zhou Qing'an, the names are all made up by me, Wu Yishan's fried tofu to Maanqiao are all real names, excerpted from "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record"

As for the dishes of Nanzhili and Nanjing, in fact, the dishes I chose are all Huaiyang dishes. Don't mind too much, everyone. Three sets of ducks, boiled dried shreds, and lion's heads are all Huaiyang dishes.

Because the first banquet of the founding of the country used Huaiyang cuisine.

*I found out that yesterday's question was wrong, and one was missing, so forgive me
