This Wufu Restaurant is a large restaurant with more than ten zhang in length and width, three floors high, located in the center of the whole town, located in the traffic artery, extending in all directions, it can be said that no matter which direction from the town, there is a straight avenue leading here, which can be said to occupy the golden area of the entire Tangjiang Town.

The owner of this Wufu Restaurant, surnamed Wu, and his ancestral house is also not far from Li Yichen's house by the river, so he grew up with Li Yichen's grandfather since he was a child.

When Boss Wu was young, he entered the Ministry of Industry through relationships. In the Ministry of Industry, although it belongs to the category of errands and miscellaneous work, but also manages a small workshop under the Weaving Division, and later I don't know for what reason, through what doorway, this small workshop of the Ministry of Industry turned out to be his private industry.

Although Boss Wu has never been an official in his life, and has always been just a small official, this Boss Wu has a way of advancing and retreating, and knows that the tree is a big move, and if he is not greedy, he will swallow the elephant. Just when that workshop brought him huge profits and huge returns, he suddenly unexpectedly sold the workshop that was making money this day to others, and then returned to Tangjiang and opened this Wufu restaurant with his younger brother.

Although he didn't get mixed with the officialdom until he left the officialdom, he was just a small official who ran errands and did chores, but after all, he was an officialdom who had been mixed for half his life. In order to make the name of his restaurant a little elegant, this Boss Wu is thinking and meditating, and the only basic ancient books in his hand are about to be turned over, and finally according to the five blessings of longevity, wealth, Kangning, virtue, and good death, the restaurant is named Wufu Restaurant, and he also hopes that he can live a long life, be healthy, have peace of mind and be able to die well.

Back in Tangjiang, this Boss Wu threw a lot of money, went around, and finally built this Wufu Restaurant in the best part of the town.

Since you are building a restaurant in the best place, you must also build the best restaurant. Using his previous connections, Boss Wu found his former colleagues in the Ministry of Industry, spent a lot of money, and built this three-story building with the best drawings, the best craftsmen, and the best materials.

By the day the restaurant was completed, even the surrounding area of Tangjiang Town was a sensation. Many people get up early in the morning and come from afar just to see the entire Tangjiang River, and even the best restaurants including Qiancheng.

It is said that many people who went into this Wufu restaurant that day came home that day, because they saw that it was not pleasing to the eye here, and it was not pleasing to the eye when they saw there, and they wanted to tear down all their houses and build a new one.

Although they are all splendid, I feel that my house always reveals a trace of vulgarity, just like a beggar who wears a dragon robe and does not look like a prince.

But the Wufu Restaurant is rich and generous, ordinary and elegant, and subtle is exquisite, as if an elegant aristocrat is showing his best side all the time.

Even if you don't go inside, just look at it from a distance, and you will be impressed by the atmosphere of this building. The heavy eaves roof of glazed tiles, the eaves are reversed, and the four corners are raised high, as if they are four swallows with wings ready to fly.

Each floor is carved beams and paintings, resplendent and gorgeous.

After the restaurant is built, all that remains is to hire a chef. The general small restaurant is the shopkeeper and the chef on one shoulder, but as for the two brothers Boss Wu, you say that you want to eat, it is definitely OK, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, as long as you can name it, they will definitely be able to tell you how to make it delicious, you need to braise it, or you need to cut it white, but if you ask the two brothers to do it yourself, it must be blind.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, anyway, Boss Wu is rich. As soon as this big price comes out, there will naturally be knowledgeable people coming over, and they must be good hands and masters.

On the day of the opening of the restaurant, as soon as the dish was served, the big guy knew that Boss Wu had dug up Lu Lili from other restaurants at a high price.

This Lu Lili has never stepped out of Tangjiang Town, and she doesn't know how to cook outside dishes, but she is a must-have dish with a few authentic local flavors of Tangjiang.

Lu Lili doesn't have many specialties, and there are only three dishes, one is fried fish, one is fried Dongpo, and one is poached pork.

Small fried fish is a home-cooked dish in Qiancheng, in the entire Qiancheng area, no matter whose daughter-in-law will make such a dish, the method is not complicated, but to make it delicious, it is more difficult. This small fried fish is sour and spicy, and the meat must be smooth and tender.

Stir-fried Dongpo is also fried large intestine, as a viscera, if it is not cleaned, it will have a taste, so this dish cannot be served at all in a formal banquet. But the people of Tangjiang are still good at this bite, and even some of them have a more unique taste, and they specially instructed the chef not to wash it so clean before eating this dish.

Stir-fry the large intestine raw, that is, wash it, drain the water, cut it and put it away, heat the oil in a hot pan, and stir-fry it on a high heat. Then add Tangjiang's unique sauerkraut stalks, saga chili peppers and ginger shreds and stir-fry.

One of the raw fried large intestines is to pay attention to the heat, which must be stir-fried fiercely, and the other is that the large intestine cannot be marinated with salt and cooking wine after being washed and cut.

Small fried fish and fried Dongpo are home-cooked small dishes in Qiancheng, and poached pork is a big dish in the whole Qiancheng, this dish is not necessarily there in the Chinese New Year in ordinary people's homes, it must appear at the wedding banquet, and it must belong to the main dish.

To make this poached meat, first put the best rice in the pot and add star anise to fry in the pot until the fragrance comes out, then grind the fried rice into powder, put it in the vat, add water and secret seasoning to make a paste, and then add the cut meat pieces, the meat pieces are three fingers wide and thick, about an inch and a half long, and the meat must be fat and thin.

When the meat pieces are marinated in the rice cereal, boil the water, put the dried lotus leaves in the pot for a while, and wait for the lotus leaves to cook softly.

Wrap the pickled rice cereal and meat pieces with boiled soft lotus leaves, in Qiancheng, the shape of this poached meat wrap is a certain exquisite, if you have never produced an official in the history of this place, then it cannot be wrapped into a square, because this square represents the official seal.

The wrapped poached pork is placed in a wooden retort and steamed on a firewood fire for six or seven hours before the dish is served.

With these three dishes, Lu Lili occupies a very important position in all the restaurants in Tangjiang Town, because fried fish and fried Dongpo are the two dishes that Tangjiang people must order when eating in restaurants, and poached pork is a must-have main dish at the banquet.

After Lu Lili arrived at Wufu Restaurant, these three dishes have also become the signature dishes of Wufu Restaurant, coupled with the luxurious decoration of Wufu Restaurant and the excellent location of Wufu Restaurant, this Wufu Restaurant has also become the leader of all restaurants in Tangjiang Town.

Hearing Li Quansheng say that all the people in the family had dinner at Wufu Restaurant at noon, there was also a boiling below. After all, the reputation of this Wufu restaurant is here, whether it is stewed, fried, burned, fried, or fried, there are several delicious dishes, especially the three signature dishes are even more unforgettable.

Even some older people who have left Tangjiang and settled in other places can't help but wipe the saliva from their mouths with the corners of their sleeves, because no matter where they go, the most unforgettable thing is the taste of their childhood hometown.

"It's not too early, so let's get over as soon as possible. Your little aunt should have arranged everything at Wufu Restaurant. When the time comes, we big men will be responsible for eating and drinking to our heart's content. ”

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Quansheng loudly urged everyone to hurry over, lest those little guys go hungry.

"Uncle, then let's go first!"

"Grandpa. Let's go first. ”

Seeing that Li Quansheng had already said that the ancestor worship ceremony was over, it was time for the whole family to have dinner together, and it was indeed a little late at this time, everyone got up early in the morning and rushed over, and everyone was on their chests and backs, so they all stepped forward to greet Li Quansheng and them, and rushed to the restaurant one step ahead.

Soon, the ancestral hall that originally seemed a little bustling became empty, and the big guys were all in groups of three or five, or several generations of a family, or invited several good friends to look at Wufu Restaurant together. In the entire ancestral hall, only a few men from Li Quansheng's family are here.

Although it is said that the ceremony of paying tribute to the ancestors has ended, after the ceremony, everything in the ancestral hall still needs someone to clean up, and these jobs fall on Li Quansheng's family, which is the responsibility of the parents and his obligation.

As the son-in-law and grandson of the family, there is not only the eldest grandson house but also the eldest grandson field, which is not the public property of the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson house, but the private property of the eldest grandson. As for the daily maintenance of the ancestral hall, the expenses required to worship the ancestors, and the expenses for the family to go to the Wufu Restaurant for dinner after the worship of the ancestors, these are all from the public property, that is, through the income of the public land, which is why there are still many people who rush to be a parent so hard.

Li Quansheng took Li Yichen, father and son, and Li Gan after everyone left the ancestral hall, and began to clean up the entire ancestral hall.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, walk south for about 100 meters, cross a bluestone paved street, and walk a short distance to Wufu Restaurant.

Li Quansheng gave birth to the four of them, Li Quansheng walked in the front, Li Chuanrong and the two brothers were in the middle, and Li Yichen followed closely behind.

Li Yichen, who had just crossed the bluestone street and was walking with his head down, found that his grandfather and his father in front of him suddenly stopped.

Seeing that the figures in front of him had stopped, Li Yichen also quickly stopped his steps and looked up.

After Li Yichen raised his head, he saw a large circle of people at the door of Wufu Restaurant, he didn't know what he was looking at, but looking at it from a distance, he felt that there seemed to be a lot of people from his own family. (To be continued.) )
