Chapter 734: Right Taste
The noon meal was served on the table, including braised carp, mushroom chicken soup, button meat, stir-fried green pepper with bitter gourd, lettuce meat slices, fried tomatoes with eggs, and stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, six dishes and one soup.
In addition, Jiang Xiaobai also made a dish of pickled folded ear roots, as well as a plate of green pepper roasted eggplant.
The old man looked at the dishes on the table, his cloudy eyes became brighter, sniffed, and said tremblingly: "It's really as I remember, it's still so fragrant." ”
After speaking, he said to the middle-aged man surnamed Ding: "Xiaoding, you go and bring my wine, I want to have a drink with Xiaobai." ”
The middle-aged man said, "Old man, it's okay, you can only drink a small cup." ”
The old man said impatiently: "No, Xiaobai is here, I have to drink three cups." ”
The middle-aged man insisted: "Old man, only a small cup!" ”
The old man glared at him indignantly, and said sharply: "Ding Zhongping, believe it or not, I will let you transfer you tomorrow!" ”
Ding Zhongping smiled wryly: "Old man, you transferred me away, and the person who came to replace me may be stricter, maybe you won't be allowed to drink a small cup." ”
The old man said angrily: "Then I don't care, anyway, I don't worry if I can't see you, I'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow." ”
Ding Zhongping was stunned, the old man is usually quite easy to speak, why is he stubborn today.
He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, then you can see that it's okay, we won't say three cups, we won't say one, two cups!" Two cups is the limit! ”
The old man snorted: "Okay, two cups!" ”
Ding Zhongping showed a smile: "This is what you said personally, and you can't go back." ”
The old man pouted: "Two cups at noon, and the same two cups in the afternoon!" ”
Ding Zhongping's body almost stumbled when he just stood up, he said that the limit of a day is two cups, not to mention that he would have to drink two glasses in the afternoon.
The old man didn't care so much, and urged: "Why don't you hurry up and get the wine!" ”
Ding Zhongping thought about it, dealt with the past first, and then went to get the wine without saying a word.
The old man's wine is not Moutai wine and Wuliangye or anything, but health wine soaked in white wine.
The cups used for drinking in the north are larger than those in the south, and most of the people in the south use bull's eye cups in this era, and a cup is about five yuan. In the north, small glasses are used, about one or two cups.
The two cups that the old man said were almost two taels.
Ding Zhongping took a larger cup, then took another measuring cup, and poured about one or two seven or eight yuan from the wine jar into the large cup.
Well, a little less is a little less.
After pouring wine for the old man, he took a bottle of Moutai and two glasses from the wine cabinet next to him, and then walked to the restaurant.
"Old man, you use a big cup!"
Ding Zhongping first put Old Man Lin's health wine on the table in front of him and said, then gave Jiang Xiaobai and Lin Shu a glass wine glass, unscrewed the cap of Moutai wine, and handed the wine bottle to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu took it, poured wine for Jiang Xiaobai, and said, "Uncle, I'll accompany you to drink some." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
The first time I came, I didn't accompany the old man to drink something.
Old Man Lin looked at the big glass in front of him, glanced at Ding Zhongping, snorted coldly in his heart, and said to Lin Shu: "You go and get me a small glass." ”
Ding Zhongping hurriedly said: "Old man, don't use it, anyway, you don't have much wine, just use this bigger one, so as not to pour it twice." ”
Old Man Lin raised his eyebrows coldly and snorted, "Are you a cup?" ”
Ding Zhongping said: "This is the amount of two cups!" ”
"Hehe......" Old Man Lin sneered, and Ding Zhong lowered his head calmly.
As soon as Lin Shu saw it, he understood what was going on, and persuaded: "Grandpa, don't forget it, you can drink it slowly in a big cup, and I will accompany my uncle and promise to accompany him." ”
Old Man Lin said: "Some people don't abide by discipline and engage in the way of acting in the wrong way, you, a young cadre, can you encourage such an atmosphere?" ”
Lin Shu hurriedly said: "Can't! ”
Old Man Lin said angrily: "Then do you still want to help the abuse?" ”
Where did Lin Shu dare, obediently go and get the wine glass, so as not to stay any longer and get into trouble.
Ding Zhongping's expression was sneering, he picked up the big wine glass, and said, "The old man is happy today, I'll go and add a little bit to you, definitely a little more." ”
Old Man Lin didn't look at him, and he was careful with me, you are still 108,000 miles away.
Ding Zhongping went to the room where the wine was placed, and took the wine grape and beat a little wine, for fear that it would be less, so he took a measuring cup and measured it, and a large glass of wine was almost two or two dollars, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly annoyed that he was smart, but the amount given to the old man not only did not come down, but increased.
Lin Shu shook his head: "Ding Bo, why are you here?" ”
Ding Zhongping said depressedly: "How did I know that your grandfather was so serious this time?" ”
The two smiled wryly at each other and returned to the restaurant together.
The old man was comfortable this time, took a small cup from the big cup, and began to beckon Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Shan to eat.
Stir-fried bitter gourd with green peppers, he first sandwiched a chopstick, bitter and spicy in his mouth, sweet in his heart.
"That's the taste, I haven't eaten it in 80 years!"
The old man's voice was a little choked.
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are thinking bitterly and sweetly, eat slowly, eat more." ”
Old Man Lin nodded again and again, and grabbed another chopstick.
Jiang Shan saw that her grandfather and grandmother were eating deliciously, and she also took a pair of chopsticks, but eating it in her mouth was not like that.
This fried bitter gourd with green pepper is not as delicious as Dad's fried at home.
She looked at Old Man Lin in surprise, and felt very strange in her heart, obviously it was not very delicious, why did Grandma eat so deliciously.
Ding Zhongping and Aunt Zhang also tasted a chopstick, this green pepper fried bitter gourd is a little light, it seems that the oil is not enough, and the fried is relatively dry, the bitter gourd should have been boiled in boiling water before stir-frying, and the bitterness is not enough.
This kind of dish, not to say that it is unpalatable, but it is definitely not delicious.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, the people over there in Jiangcheng can praise Jiang Xiaobai's cooking skills as unparalleled in the world, at this level, it is too mismatched!
But how did they know that the fried bitter gourd with green peppers that Mr. Lin ate in his hometown was like this.
At that time, there was a serious shortage of oil and salt. When Jiang Xiaobai made this dish of stir-fried bitter gourd with green peppers, he deliberately put less oil and salt to restore the taste that the old man ate back then.
It can be said that except for Mr. Lin, others here don't taste right at all.
Old Man Lin swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his glass and said, "Xiaobai, it's really fresh to you, the dishes of your hometown and the taste of your hometown, they can't make it at all." ”
"Come, I respect you."
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly said: "I respect grandpa!" ”
He touched the old man's glass, then tilted his head and dried it up.
The old man laughed and drank the wine in his glass.
Ding Zhongping's eyelids jumped when he watched it on the side, thinking that he drank so violently, but nothing would happen.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Grandpa, after drinking this first cup, we will drink it slowly in the future, but we can't be in a hurry." ”
The old man surprisingly didn't refute, and said with a smile: "Listen to you!" ”
