Eight Treasure Gourd Chicken (1)
You don't see out-of-town guests, Chang'an Road, once you come back, you go back to the old.
- "Chang'an Road" Bai Juyi
In the end, Xishi and Chang'an are two pictures, one is gorgeous and the other is modern. Standing in the high-rise building in the center, overlooking the traffic below, Chang'an City is only the prosperous era in memory after all, drunk and dreaming of death.
"Whew-" There was still the sound of eating vegetables and sucking soup in her ears, Yu Jian felt funny in her heart, and turned to look at Huang Nuan, who was eating with relish.
"Can't you be a little more reserved?" Looking at Chen Xinyi, chewing and swallowing slowly, every time I see her eating, I feel pleasing to the eye, on the other hand, Huang Nuan is like a brother and sister with Lin Feng and Xu Sheng.
Huang Nuan grinned, and there were still coriander leaves on his teeth that he hadn't had time to swallow, "I grew up with you guys, and I was friends when I was bare-assed, what else did I pretend to be in front of you?" ”
Chen Xinyi smiled calmly, the chopsticks knocked on her packing box, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Explain, what does the word 'load' mean." ”
"No, no, no—I didn't mean you, oops, that's what I am, I can't help it when I come across something delicious!" Huang Nuan immediately disarmed and surrendered, when he was sick, he still felt that the pigtails were very weak, how could this just happen, and he returned to his nature, it was really annoying! She pouted, leaned on Chen Xinyi's shoulder flatteringly, fluttered her eyelashes, and pretended to be cute.
Chen Xinyi pushed her head, but she didn't push it, so she let her be a demon. Seeing Yu Jian standing in front of the window with her chest crossed, there was a sadness between her eyebrows, and she asked, "Ah Jian, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Yu Jian shook her head, tilted her head and glanced at the scenery outside the window again, and smiled, "I just think that Xishi is also quite cold." ”
Chen Xinyi agreed: "The day I came, it was still snowing. It's not much warmer here than the capital, and I don't know ......" realized something, swallowed the words into his throat, and bowed his head again.
Yu Jian's eyes sank, sighed in her heart, and sat down beside her, "What are you going to do?" ”
"What can you do? Go back to the capital and prepare for the make-up exam! Chen Xinyi grinned self-deprecatingly and flicked her nails.
Yu Jian held her hand: "You know that's not what I'm talking about." ”
Chen Xinyi smiled, her face turned cold, her heart was disdainful, and her expression was full of play, she said word by word: "I will only have one mother in the future." ”
Who said that kinship cannot be parted, this is never a matter of ability and impossibility, but a willingness or unwillingness.
Only Huang Nuan looked at the two of them in confusion, as if he understood, but he didn't seem to understand, no matter what, these two people have always been mysterious, and they are not as real as the steamed buns in this bowl.
……
Lin Fengxu came on time, drove a half-old jeep, and when he saw Yu Jian coming out of the hotel, he hurriedly unlocked the car door.
"Tsk-little boss, do you say you make a lot of money by opening a restaurant?" This five-star hotel is a few days to stay, and it is all white flowers!
Guan Shanyue sat behind and kicked him: "Hurry up!" Those old guys are still waiting! ”
Obviously relieved her.
Instead, Yu Jian smiled lightly at Guan Shanyue, and then explained to Lin Fengxu: "It was arranged by my best friend's father, and I was replaced, but I was reluctant to live in such a good hotel." ”
Lin Feng smiled, stepped on the accelerator and left.
In recent years, Xishi has reproduced a Chang'an Avenue by itself, and some old restaurants have responded to the government's call to settle in, among which the four time-honored brands of Xishi Restaurant, Tongshenglou, Changdefa and Chunfasheng are the most famous.
Yu Jian couldn't have imagined that the source of the quarrel between a group of old scholars in Lin Fengxu's mouth turned out to be a dish. Strictly speaking, it is an ancient dish of the Tang Dynasty - gourd chicken.
When the three of them walked into the venue, the conflict had already entered a white-hot stage, divided into four factions, each representing different restaurant diners, and one after another endorsing the restaurant they supported.
Yu Jian stopped at the door, listening to the hoarse noise inside, and didn't feel it.
"I'm a native of Xishi, I've eaten gourd chicken for so many years, don't you know which one is the best? It must be from Tongsheng Building! ”
"You fart! The authentic also belongs to the West Market Hotel, which is now a state-run hotel, and the masters are all old craftsmen. ”
"Chang Defa! It's Changde Fa! That bite makes me want to die......"
"You are not ashamed of being old, and you still want to die! If you want me to say that Chun Fasheng's cooking skills are really good, I heard that the ancestor is the imperial chef......"
Every word you say to me, I can't wait to compare myself on the spot, and even the organizer knocks on the microphone to make it quiet, and it is not affected at all.
Guan Shanyue walked around the door with her hands behind her back, she really couldn't listen to it anymore, strode forward, pushed away the organizer's person and took the microphone herself, and yelled: "Shut up!" ”
Frightened by him like this, the old scholars stopped moving, stopped their mouths, and turned their eyes to him.
Guan Shanyue pointed at a group of people, angry! finally brought the student I liked, but I showed her such a play, all of them are grandparents, why are they so ignorant of the importance at the critical moment?
"Huh! The old lock is here! Someone patted his head and came back to his senses, "He's a well-known picky mouth, let him choose, which one is stronger!" ”
At this moment, everyone reacted and rushed towards Guan Shanyue in a crowd with each other.
The old man stumbled and didn't stand firm, and was sprayed with saliva all over his face......
"You see, the old man must not be able to get out easily." Lin Feng shrank aside to watch the show, without the slightest intention of rescuing Guan Shanyue.
Yu Jian glanced at him, holding his chin and falling into deep thought. Gourd chicken...... There is really such a dish in this Datang recipe.
Wei Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was born in a bureaucratic family, under the shadow of his father and brother, and he was in the officialdom. He is delicious, well-dressed and well-fed, and extremely hungry.
The gourd chicken was created by his cook. The production of this chicken is divided into three processes: cooking, steaming and frying, which lasted a full 12 hours, and when it is served, the chicken skin is golden and crispy, the chopsticks poke that is rotten, and when you eat, you feel that the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the fragrant and rotten taste is mellow.
And at this moment, Guan Shanyueniu's temper was also aroused, he stomped on his big foot, and the whole person climbed onto the table, avoiding the hands that everyone stretched out to him, and saw Yu Jian with Lin Fengxu, his eyes lit up.
It's really a mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village! He picked up the microphone, pointed at Yu Jian and shouted, "Girl, come here!" ”
Yu Jian looked around for a long time, confirmed that he was calling himself, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and walked into the crowd......
I could hear the old man Guan showing off proudly: "I have a ready-made review here that I can lend to everyone, this is my favorite disciple of the closed door, and his ability is very ......."
