Chapter Eighty-Seven: Yunfeng Hotel, Dream of Eight Immortals

"The delicacies in the clouds descend the eight immortals - skillfully cook the jade phoenix, and the horizontal batch - respect the mouth of Defu!" Ai Chunguang looked at the stone archway and said: Sure enough, it is the same as what Secretary Lu introduced in the car-

Twenty years ago, Yunfeng Hotel was a small restaurant opened by Hao Dalong and Qi Yufeng in the back street of Jianshan, which was originally called "Dalong Restaurant". It was Hao Dalong who opened the shop, and the proprietress Qi Yufeng was responsible for washing and miscellaneous work. Although the two of them got up early and worked out late to keep the store organized and clean, the business was average - no specials?!

On the night of August 15 of that year, the husband and wife had a simple dinner, and Dalong cleaned the kitchen; Yufeng felt very sleepy - she took a nap on the table of the eight immortals in the store, and fell asleep without thinking about it...

The table of eight immortals is the ancestral property of the jade phoenix, which has been preserved after a catastrophe, and the four side baffles are engraved with the story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", the characters are lifelike, and the seascape is very realistic; In the middle is the word "Fu" in seal style.

Dalong came out of the kitchen and saw Yufeng lying on the table, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her mouth was babbling - the situation was very scary, he hurriedly woke up his wife - let her wash and go to bed? Yufeng ignored him, and just looked around the Eight Immortals Table - looking around carefully, and it took a long time to say the dream just now—but he remembered that "it was not complete":

An old man on crutches - like "Tie Guan Li", said that they have a relationship with the eight immortals and the jade phoenix, but they have a dirty attitude towards the "dragon", and if they want to do well, they must change the name of the hotel; A young man who looks like a scholar - calls himself "Han Xiangzi" and mutters out a poem with the words "The delicacies in the clouds descend the eight immortals, and the jade phoenix is skillfully cooked" (homonym). There is also a woman, I think it is "He Xiangu", who introduced Yufeng into an antique kitchen, taught her to cook vegetarian dishes, and taught her to read recipes, she was watching with relish - suddenly dark clouds were thick, heavy rain was pouring, a group of immortals disappeared without a trace, and a dragon pounced on her—she was excited-awake and nagging...

Hao Dalong originally never believed in these mysterious and mysterious illusory dreams, but this time Yufeng said that it was the same as the truth, if it weren't for the inexplicable mystery, with the "little ink" in Yufeng's stomach, she couldn't arrange it anyway?! —Dalong secretly made up his mind that night.

The next day, he found Teacher Zhong of Jianshan Middle School and told Yufeng about his dream, and asked Teacher Zhong to think about it. Mr. Zhong is very familiar with the mythical story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea - Each Shows His Magical Powers", considering that Hao Dalong is recruiting relatives (into the family), and there is a word "dragon" in the name of the person and the name of the store, even Yufeng was dreamed of by the "dragon", he also felt very strange? !

The two lines of poetry that Yufeng recalled are simply incredible, even if he is an old high school student, he can't make it up for a while? Mr. Zhong looked at Dalong's confused and expectant eyes, and decided to give him a suggestion that "vied" his common sense - use the words "cloud, phoenix" at the beginning and end of the poem - to make a new store name, try?

Hao Dalong has always admired Mr. Zhong's knowledge, and immediately changed the signboard to "Yunfeng Hotel", and kept the teacher to have lunch in the store. Qi Yufeng asked Dalong to accompany the distinguished guests - cook by himself!

Strange to say, she brought out a "braised duck" hot pot - stewed over charcoal; stir-fry a plate of "chestnut roasted chicken"; plus a "fried vegetarian chicken", a "leek thousand silks", and a "fried eggplant with sauce" - placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, it is really "full of color, flavor, and flavor", even Dalong stared wide-eyed and couldn't stop swallowing saliva...

What is especially amazing is that after the duck meat in "Braised Duck" was eaten, Yufeng came up with a plate of blanched lasagna and mixed it into the oily but not greasy duck soup - as the staple food, Mr. Zhong and Dalong ate it again and again, and their appetite was great!

Since then, the story of Yunfeng Hotel's "duck-noodles" and the proprietress "Dream Eight Immortals" has gone far and wide; Dalong and Yufeng's business is gradually booming - even guests from northern Zhejiang and Suxi are admiring it...

"Which box are we in? Shewan Village drops. Secretary Lu asked the waiter standing at the door.

"Secretary Lu, come - eat a cigarette? I'll put you in the Yunfeng Hall?! A man of medium stature, nearly fifty years old, greeted him.

"Chef Hao, do you see that the 'city leaders' are here to chatter, and the arrangement is in the 'Dream Eight Immortals' - can it be successful?" Secretary Lu took the telephone pole and looked at Dalong's long horse face?

"Brother Xiao--also a guest, the five of them are playing cards in the 'Dream Eight Immortals'-" Hao Dalong's eyebrows were like drinking honey - full of smiles.

"Liu Changxiao? Just - he still owes me a drink, and I asked him to change the box - count it as 'offset'? Secretary Lu was half-joking-half-serious.

"I heard that Director Xue-Liu invited the new Laidi police station chief, and Camp Chief Zhang is also there?!" Hao Dalong laughed in a low voice.

"Oh - that's right, we're all dripping all the way. I'm going to share the table with Brother Xue, and he's going to do it! Save you a box-ha-ha-ha-come early, why don't you come to Diqiao?! Secretary Lu took the lead and walked to the east end of the corridor:

At the end is the place where Qi Yufeng dreamed - the "Dream Eight Immortals" hall - where the "magical" Eight Immortals table is placed!

"This Lu Guozhi - no wonder people call him 'old devil' behind his back, the account is better than a ghost..."Hao Dalong shook his head in his heart - turned around and walked to the kitchen...

Wang Yijun, Xu Jin and Ai Chunguang have all understood: Li Yaohong, Ren Youjun and Xiaosun also stayed in the village - lunch was arranged by "Director Liu" in Jianshan Street!

In the dream of the eight immortals, the four of them are fighting fiercely - playing "the opposite door - 80 points", Brother Xiao, Zhang Ming are paired, Li Suo and Lao Ren are partners, and the beautiful name is "Village Cadre War Detective". Xiao Sun stood aside, smiling - looking at the table.

"Brother Xiao, the guest is chatting, are you - hurry up and add vegetables? Hey-hey—" Lu Guozhi's legs are not long, his movements are fast, and he reached out to "snatch" the poker in Liu Changxiao's hand - and continued:

"Captain Wang, you-come to play (cards)?!"

"I guess you're a good cut (eating) guy, in Leha at noon?! Expert Wang, Xu Suo, are you going to fight? We - engaged in logistics? Director Liu stood up with a smile:

Battalion Commander Zhang put down the card - leave the seat; Li Yaohong and Ren Youjun also pinched their cards and got up.

"You go on—go on, there's still a table over there, we have enough of us—and another 'stall?!" Wang Yijun thanked him.

"That table—'don't give'—" Secretary Lu put down the poker and walked to the square table covered with red flannel, explaining:

"The column is the treasure of the town store - the table of eight immortals, and the proprietress is lying on the top of the column - dreaming of the 'fairy' drop. Since the expansion and renovation of the restaurant, a 'treasure' table has been listed - nibbling bar (maybe) has not let go of food for more than ten years?! Brother Laughing - and? ”

"Do you want to sit? Distinguished guests come to nag? Is it on the four sides - only 8 people can sit, and you have to put people - into the corner of the table (sit in the corner of the table)? "Hao Dalong just came in and ordered—loudly.

"Boss Hao, the mind is nagging you, add me - ten people, two 'crutches' - breaking the rules of the Eight Immortals Table, total-isn't it okay? Forced (reluctantly) to sit up, or a 'forced ten' (back, unlucky) number—"A thin middle-aged man with a long beard walked into the box and scattered the telephone poles while giving his opinion!"

"Director Huang - come to chat, I just saw Secretary Lu, I didn't see you - I'm still muttering?" Director Liu said with a smile:

"Cards - no nagging! We sit at a big round table in the middle - quack? Da Longzi, tell your wife to dare to drip-burn, especially 'duck noodles' - to be full (sufficient)! Burn - just go! ”

Liu Changxiao sat in the center under the Chinese painting plaque of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" on the east wall, and on the left hand side were Wang Yijun, Lu Guozhi, and Xu Jin; On the right-hand side, press Shun for Li Yaohong, Director Huang, and Ren Youjun; Ai Chunguang, Camp Commander Zhang, and Xiao Sun - sat around the head.

Ten people at a table sit down - tea sipping, greetings...

Near 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the table was laid out—

It is mainly based on three hot pots: "Braised Duck", "Roasted Rooster with Green Peppers" and "Fat Head Stewed Tofu", with nine stir-fried dishes and four cold dishes. A full table - meat and vegetarian matching, fragrant!
