Chapter 345: Zhai Cai
Zhu Hongyu poured wine for her younger brothers and sisters again, seeing that the people of the old Zhu family had their own development on the road they wanted to take, Zhu Hongyu had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.
Zhu Amber saw that her sister was not very happy, so she picked up her wine glass and said to everyone: "For the New Year, let's have a glass." ”
Zhu Hongyu knew that her sister had always been a person who liked to be lively, so she raised her wine glass softly.
"The New Year is auspicious and all the best." Zhu Hongyu held back for a long time, but came up with this sentence.
Runye continued: "May the blessings and longevity be healthy, and may the disasters be dissipated." ”
Jin Yuanjing listened to Runye's words, and said dissatisfiedly: "What you said is exactly what I want to say, so be it, then I will wish the new one a smooth wind and rain, a bumper harvest, and everyone is smart and wise." I learned it with Runye, and it came true. ”
Zhu Hongyu said secretly, it is more practical for Jin Yuanjing to say this, Runye is too fairy, but he has always been such a person who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Zhu Zhanao was a little worried about the country and the people, and said: "May everything go well, may the sea be clear and the rivers be stable." ”
Amber thought for a while and said: "May the infatuated men and women in the world eventually become dependents, and may the Xuanmen Yushi be separated as they wish." ”
The wine glasses of the five people collided together, making a pleasant crisp sound.
The banquet flowed, and it was very pleasant.
After drinking, the first dish came up, and several people, including the boss just now, went upstairs with plates.
This is a soup, everyone has a small soup cup in front of them, and there is a dried mushroom in the soup cup, and Zhu Hongyu really can't tell what kind of variety it is.
After putting the soup cup away, the proprietress held a flask-like utensil in her hand and poured the broth into everyone's bowl, and a fresh and fragrant smell came to her nose, and Zhu Hongyu smelled this smell and felt very good.
I couldn't help asking, "Boss, what kind of soup is this?" ”
"The spring water flushes the soup and gathers fungi. The one in the bowl is hydrangea mushroom, and we buy directly from western Yunnan, and there are thirty or forty little brothers in western Yunnan who buy for us every year. ”
Zhu Hongyu nodded again and again, even in her previous life, she knew that the quality of mushrooms in this place in western Yunnan was excellent, and the locals still had the habit of eating poisonous mushrooms.
It is true that poisonous mushrooms are really delicious, and they have a fragrance that is difficult to have in this world.
Facing the bowl of mushroom soup in front of her, Zhu Hongyu still held a reverent attitude in her heart, and stuffed spoonfuls of soup into her mouth.
Very appetizing, Zhu Hongyu felt that her hand had moved her index finger!
After a table of people finished drinking the soup, the tableware was also removed, and the proprietress quickly served a new dish.
I saw a huge lotus leaf-shaped plate, with several small teacups in the cup, and the teacup was filled with a golden liquid.
A familiar smell from the previous life suddenly rushed into Zhu Hongyu's nasal cavity.
"Passion fruit?"
Zhu Hongyu said this name in disbelief, and the proprietress was even happier to see that Zhu Hongyu knew her.
As a restaurant, I still like it most or can communicate with foodies.
"That's right, this is the passion fruit that was shipped from Liangguang last year, and its core was taken to make fruit vinegar, and it has been brewed until now, the taste is very good, and it is the most appetizing."
Everyone picked up the teacup and drank all the sour things, what do you say about the taste...... It's kind of weird, really.
After drinking, it was time for the third course, and in front of everyone there was a small white porcelain plate with nothing on it.
I saw the proprietress take out small potatoes from a delicate small charcoal stove and sandwich them one by one on everyone's plates.
Zhu Hongyu saw the shocking ingredients that she knew again.
"Cheese?"
On top of the golden small potatoes, there is a layer of golden liquid substance, which is charcoal-roasted and has a fragrant layer.
Then the boss took out golden tofu from another small charcoal stove.
Put it next to the small potatoes, and after placing them, pour a sauce pot on the plate and garnish a small carrot flower.
"This dish is Ronghua and Fugui, the tofu on the right is made of pure peanuts, and the small potatoes on the left are covered with cheese, which is roasted in a small oven, and the taste is very rich."
Cheese?
Runye looked at the vermilion jade that had just blurted out about this ingredient.
"What is cheese?"
"A kind of food from the Western Regions, made of milk, the specific method is also very simple, that is, put a pot of milk in the degree that it will not be opened, put lemon juice in it, the milk will solidify and separate, the top becomes solid, the bottom is liquid, the solid above is fished out like making tofu and filtered out of the water, it is cheese, of course, there is also a place called milk tofu or something. Actually, it's all the same thing. ”
"The girl is right."
The proprietress suddenly cast an admiring look at her, and asked, "I have listened to the girl's speech and looked at the girl's behavior, and I know that the girl has been to many places. I wonder if my food is to my girl's liking? ”
Zhu Hongyu thought about it for a while, but it was not suitable or inappropriate.
"I have one thing I want to ask the hostess, how did you get these rare ingredients in your house?"
The proprietress kept preparing the next dish in her hands, and everyone else had already started eating, only Zhu Hongyu continued to chat with the proprietress with great interest.
"In the early years, my husband was a merchant, and he came from the east and west, north and south, and sold blankets and spices, as well as air-dried sausages, strange dairy products, and even jewelry from the Western Regions, and then brought medicinal herbs, seafood, tea, etc. from the southernmost side to sell them together. I have been to Shuzhong with him and to western Yunnan. Even Qiongzhou and Fengzhou have been there. In the end, my husband and I were tired, and felt that the journey was tiring, and it was very hard, and we longed for comfort. Finally, in the West Lake of Bianjing, I found an ordinary place to live. ”
Zhu Hongyu nodded again and again, you must know that in ancient times, there were not many people who could go north and south, they had to take huge risks, of course, those who could have the capital to go south and north were mostly merchants.
It seems that the proprietress made a lot of money by traveling south and north, so that she could buy a courtyard next to the West Lake and do what she likes to do.
This is something that Zhu Hongyu's current ability cannot reach, and she still has to go out.
"I am different from you, I have been to Liangzhou in the west, and I have only been to Bianjing in the east, but our family has lived in Ganzhou for a long time. It's only recently that I've started moving around. ”
Everyone finished eating, and Zhu Hongyu hurriedly finished eating the food on the plate in two bites.
The proprietress walked behind Zhu Hongyu, patted her shoulder and said kindly: "Girl, the outside world is not so exciting, you are young now, sitting at home embroidering and practicing calligraphy and reading, which one is not good?" You have to go outside and look at it. ”
After speaking, the boss beckoned everyone to bring out the bamboo tube, and everyone also got a bowl of dipping sauce.
"This dipping sauce is a secret Yunnan mushroom sauce, and the rice is steamed with matsutake mushrooms. You open the bamboo leaves on the top of the bamboo tube, eat the matsutake mushrooms inside, and then stir in the mushroom sauce, which tastes very good. ”
Zhu Hongyu knew that this practice was to imitate the practice of bamboo tube rice of the Dai people in western Yunnan.
She slowly opened the bamboo leaves covered by the bamboo tube, and saw a piece of matsutake inside, and she could feel a rare fragrance in her mouth.
The rice in the bamboo tube rice is pure glutinous rice, which makes Zhu Hongyu feel very surprised, she thought that she would eat mixed rice at the high end.
However, it is clear that in such an era, eating multigrain is a symbol of poverty.
After eating the matsutake mushrooms, Zhu Hongyu poured the mushroom sauce from the bibimbap into the sticky rice.
It's not a lot, but compared to the delicate dishes in front of it, it's okay.
After eating this, everyone felt five points full.
After that, the proprietress brought out a sweet stew with white fungus and lotus seeds, and put crystal clear pear balls in it.
The pear ball was originally opaque, but after simmering in the soup for a while, it can be stewed into a translucent substance, and the soup made from white fungus and lotus seeds becomes a gelatinous substance.
After Zhu Hongyu ate and wiped these things, she looked at the proprietress with a smile.
"This dish is a cabbage with blue heart, it can be seen that it comes from the hands of a girl, and the soup is very exquisite."
"Yes, this dish is not my originality, but after coming to Bianjing, the creation of my girl, the taste is naturally superior, and I hope you like it."
Zhu Hongyu happily drank the bowl of soup, and felt a lot fuller in her stomach when she landed.
Then, the boss came up with a small bowl of somen noodles, which means that the meaning of the noodles is greater than the edible value at the end, and the long-lasting taste can have a long-lasting source of customers, and I hope that the guests will be blessed with longevity and long-term health.
After eating the somen noodles, everyone felt that they were seven points full, and they couldn't say that they were particularly full, but this amount was really just right.
In the end, the boss served a Yun'er muffin cake, using Suzhou's unique trough cake method, but the steaming time was longer, and the dessert after the meal was very good.
Finally, in the first lunar month, the group ate citrus transported from Liangguang, as well as rare fruits such as jackfruit and durian.
With such a sumptuous banquet, Zhu Hongyu found it hard to believe that as long as he was fifty yuan alone, the boss would definitely lose money in such a business!
Desserts and fruits came up, and Xiao Er opened a cup of tea.
The tea is clear and cold, which is the taste of Lingnan.
As the tea came into her mouth, Zhu Hongyu looked at the proprietress and asked, "Boss, I have a question I want to ask you, does this vegetarian make money?" ”
Hearing this question, the proprietress shook her head and said: "On weekdays, a table can earn three or five yuan, of course, you must be losing money, I talked to the girl speculatively, so I gave you a rare fruit at the end." Durian jackfruit and other things are unique to Liangguang and are rare to see, especially in this solar term, the price is extremely expensive. But that's how I do business, sometimes I make the dishes more expensive when I have more money, and when I don't have enough money, I make the dishes cheaper. As you can see, there's no loss in eating here. ”
Zhu Hongyu nodded again and again, where is it not a loss, it is simply a profit.
"The best taste in the world is Qinghuan, and the name of this vegetarian restaurant is also obtained from here, right?"
"That's right...... The taste of the world is pure joy, if I could have understood this truth earlier, I would not have opened this restaurant by myself. The slave family called Chang Xiaoxiao, I don't know what the girl's name is? ”
Always smiling?
This name, Zhu Hongyu, thinks it really has the flavor of Qinlou Chu Pavilion.
Perhaps this woman who has seen all the dust in her eyes has understood the true meaning of "the taste of the world is pure joy".
"Vermilion."
