Chapter 84: Tasting Food (Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendations)
After some discussion, Poly decided to add Chen Hu's "Hundred Flowers in Jiayuan" to the Poly Autumn Auction, which is a special auction during the National Day, as one of the special lots of calligraphy and painting works.
In other words, if Chen Hu wants to really get the money, it will only be possible after the National Day, which means that he will have to go short again this month.
But in the face of money, Chen Hu did not object, nodded and agreed.
It just so happened that he could also take the opportunity to learn about southern cuisine, saving himself from opening a private restaurant at that time, but the business was dismal because of the unaccustomed dishes.
Later, Chen Hu and Manager Wang signed several documents such as the item commission agreement, the item custody agreement, and the auction contract, then got up and said goodbye to Manager Wang, and left Poly with many contracts with Poly in duplicate and returned to the hotel.
Anyway, he is not bad for money now, and he may be richer after the auction, so he didn't think about renting a house in the capital to get by, and directly renewed his room fee for half a month at the front desk, so he left the hotel with his mobile phone and went to the nearby Panjiayuan.
I used to see Pan Jiayuan's name when I read novels, but now that I have the opportunity, Chen Hu has no reason to go shopping, see if he has the luck, and pick a leak.
Although Chen Hu himself understands that this is basically impossible.
After all, it is said in the novel that Pan Jiayuan is now fooling those green onions, rookies and fools who want to hit the big luck, and the real things are long gone, and there is basically no possibility of picking up leaks.
You don't think that you, a green white person with no knowledge of this area, can be better than an old bird who has been in Panjiayuan for twenty or thirty years?
After more than 20 minutes, Chen Hu came to Panjiayuan, with the idea of seeing novelties and legends, and walked into the Panjiayuan antique market with a leisurely mood.
In an instant, all kinds of bronze, antiquities, ancient porcelain, ancient jade, antique pieces and modern and modern emerging things, such as walnuts, beads and agate, and other things should come into his eyes, just like modern handicrafts, placed at random on a stall for the passing tourists in the market to appreciate and buy.
And not to mention, there are really a lot of people who pay for it, and there are still many foreigners.
As for the Chinese people, even if they sell it, they almost all understand what kind of goods are sold here, and they are willing to pay for an item that they can see when the price is cut low.
So, it's now a good place to earn foreign exchange.
Chen Hu was also hooked by the various things on display here, and couldn't help but feel a little moved, and finally couldn't hold back, stopped in front of a stall where he bought beads, and spent more than 100 yuan to buy a pale yellow agate bracelet that he didn't know if it was true or not, and brought it to his hand bowl.
Then Chen Hu got up and wandered around the stalls again.
Those who buy porcelain fragments, those who sell ancient bottles, those who sell silver jewelry and silver necklaces, and those who carve wooden statues of ancient stone in copper furnaces...... Finally, Chen Hu stopped in front of a bookstall selling used books.
"Buy the book, yours. The vendor owner greeted.
"I'll see. Chen Hu didn't look up, and replied casually.
"Cheng, you take your time, and you call me. β
"Okay. β
Chen Hu's eyes slowly wandered through the book, but unfortunately, he was not interested in it, so he flipped through it twice, then put down the book and went to other stalls.
After repeating this repeatedly, Chen Hu finally failed to find any more items that made him feel sorry for money. I couldn't help but shake my head, turned around and left the Pan family from another way.
It's still early, so you can try the snacks in the capital to increase your knowledge.
Immediately, Chen Hu took out his mobile phone, connected to WIFI, and walked slowly towards the nearby food spots while searching for the food in the capital on it.
ββHong Zhuangyuan porridge is the first food location he searched, just on Panjiayuan Street, No. 7, not far from the antique street, and it will be successfully reached after a period of walking.
Subsequently, a small one, the external condition does not look very luxurious, a very simple faΓ§ade came into Chen Hu's eyes, there are only three words on the plaque, and there are a few cars parked in front of the door, so that the whole store does not feel very glamorous and prosperous.
Chen Hu didn't 'judge people by their appearance', retracted his gaze, and walked in.
"Welcome. The welcome at the entrance of the store spoke.
"How many of you?"
"I'm the only one. β
"Please follow me. β
Then Chen Hu was led to an empty seat and sat down. The waiter brought the recipe for Chen Hu to order.
It is worthy of being a porridge shop, the staple food and special meals are all porridge, and others such as sesame sauce sugar cakes, duck liver in salt water and something are small dishes, and the richness is far less than porridge, so Chen Hu didn't have too many choices, and directly ordered a bowl of the store's signature - Zhuangyuan best porridge, and then ordered a salted duck liver and a sesame sauce sugar cake, as the beginning of his food journey in the capital.
"Okay, the best porridge, salted duck liver, sesame sauce sugar cake is a single order!" the waiter shouted.
Then it didn't take long, or because Chen Hu was not a restaurant when he came, and there were not many people, the things he ordered were delivered by the waiter.
Chen Hu observed carefully and found that this champion porridge is really superb, but the best is not in the ingredients, but in the richness, just like the eight-treasure porridge, in addition to the rice as the theme of the porridge, there are other ingredients such as carrots and greens, which are colorful and look very eye-catching.
Then Chen Hu picked up the spoon, lightly scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Slightly hot β this is the temperature of the porridge itself. Slightly sweet β the flavor of the sugar placed in the porridge and then the vegetables as an ingredient spreads in the mouth, soaking the taste buds along with the rice aroma of the porridge itself.
As far as the feeling is concerned, it deserves to be delicious. At least Chen Hu doesn't hate the taste.
Then Chen Hu put down the spoon, raised the water glass, rinsed his mouth, and picked up a piece of light-colored duck liver with chopsticks......
The salty, glutinous, and faint fishy smell poured into Chen Hu's nose.
"It's not very clean. β
Chen Hu put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth again, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of sugar cake with thin skin that seemed to be about to be trapped in the sauce and sent it to his mouth.
It was hot, and then the hot breath and the sweetness and sesame sauce taste poured into his mouth, Chen Hu frowned, and put down the sugar cake.
For no other reason, he didn't love the overly sweet taste. Although he couldn't help but be jealous of this mouthful.
After that, Chen Hu didn't think much about it, while slowly tasting the porridge, analyzing the method and heat, and occasionally sandwiching a piece of duck liver or sesame sauce sugar cake to neutralize the taste in his mouth.
"Waiter, settle the bill!" After a while, Chen Hu finished drinking the porridge, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and shouted at the waiter.
The waiter of the "Chenghui ......" reported the bill. Chen Hu had no objection, paid the money and left the porridge shop, and went to the next food location.
As a chef, a martial arts practitioner, and a cultivator, his stomach could not be filled with a mere bowl of porridge and a few half-starry pieces of cake and duck liver.
