Chapter 11: The Engagement Sets the Big Wedding Day to Confirm the Fall of Ssangyong
"Ladies and gentlemen, please move upstairs to the Bright Moon Hall!" Boss Song of the Qingyu Huaiyang River Restaurant personally welcomed the Wu family and the Xu family with a smile, "Xiao Er, inform the back kitchen Mingyue Hall to prepare the dishes." ”
"Gotcha." Xiao Eryi shook off the white towel and walked to the backyard.
At this moment, the back kitchen was busy, Xiao Er smelled the familiar fragrance, couldn't help but drool, and he shouted loudly: "Third Master Qian, Mingyue Hall is ready to go away." ”
Looking at Xiao Er's line of sight, the chubby, tall man who was in charge of the stove responded in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Got it, everyone is busy, and the guests are served." ”
The air transmits sound, and the words of the third master of the chef are equivalent to the holy decree in the back kitchen. This third master was invited by Boss Song for a lot of money, he was born in a Huaiyang cuisine family, and his father was the imperial chef in the palace. This kid doesn't use his reading skills, but he is shrewd in cooking, and he has learned his father's skills in seven or eight percent, and he is second in this ancient town under the river, and no one really dares to call him the first.
"In-laws, please!" Mr. Wu bowed, Mr. Xu returned the salute, and the two families walked upstairs with a smile.
"The restaurant business is really good." Master Xu looked at the restaurant, and the guests upstairs were like clouds, and he sighed and said, "This Boss Song is more refined than a monkey when he is stained with hair, and he is really a master who can operate." ”
Shen Rui walked behind, and Ding Xiaolong accompanied him, although this little dragon was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was sharp and sharp, not only made the young master very happy every day, but also the old man and his wife were also laughing at his smart and clever energy.
"Young master, you see that Miss Xu and you are really talented and beautiful in the book, our young master is rich and rich, and the young lady is beautiful and elegant, and the little one is really happy for the young master!" Xiaolong whispered in Young Master Shen's ear.
Young Master Shen Rui is not a soft-eared person, so he naturally has his own judgment on the Miss Xu in front of him. It's just that the two sides haven't officially met yet, so naturally it's not easy to say, but the glance just now has already made his heart flutter.
Young Master Shen had heard that there was a poetry wall on the third floor of this restaurant, and not long ago, Shanyang's parents, Master Huo, also wrote a poem, so he didn't follow to the second floor but went straight to the third floor, Xiaolong followed in surprise, but his eyes didn't leave the maid. Thinking to himself, when the young lady married into the Shen Mansion, she must have been married to the Mansion as a personal maid, so wouldn't she be able to see that extraordinary maid every day, thinking of this, Xiaolong was excited in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.
"Xiaolong, what are you laughing at?" Young Master Shen was attracted by this sudden laughter, and he looked back and asked.
"It's nothing, young master." The young master of Xiaolong's red face knew his thoughts at a glance, but he couldn't see through it.
They came to the window on the third floor, and their eyes were full of verdant, and they felt relaxed and happy when the cool breeze hit. He looked north to the ancient town and had a panoramic view of the river, and only then did he really feel the poetry of "being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance".
"Under the river" is the name means the end of the river, this river is the ditch dug by Wu Wangfu, the purpose of repairing the ditch is to communicate the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and the end of the quasi-river is under the river in the north of Huai'an City.
The time is in 486 B.C., 2,500 years later, there is Emperor Yang of Sui digging the Grand Canal, Jianghuai waterway Zhou Shizong built the Puguan here and then built a dam, Hexia Town has become an important water transport town since the beginning.
Where there is water, there is life, and where the water goes, there is wealth, and the boats that come and go bring a lot of wealth, and the town of Hexia has been extremely prosperous since ancient times......
Young Master Shen stood in front of the famous poet Bai Juyi, known as the "Poetry Demon" and "Poetry King", and carefully appreciated the poems, he kept nodding his head, and silently read the poems in his heart.
The young master moved to appreciate the poetry of the Ming Dynasty poet Yao Guangxiao who praised Huai'an after visiting Huai'an Wanliuchi (now Spoon Lake).
Huai'an Langu
Ming Yao Guangxiao
Xiangwu takes Chu guests to travel more, and the first state in the southeast is magnificent.
The screen column of the rivers and mountains turns everywhere, and the practice of paving the Huai water sky floats.
The head of the city is frightened by the black magpies, and the sails at the mouth of the dam are open to the white gulls.
The hero under the crotch is gone, and the light smoke makes people sad.
Young Master Shen is full of poetry and books, and he is naturally familiar with this masterpiece of praising Huai'an, as he was born in the ancient town of Hexia, he knows that there have been many celebrities in the history of this treasure land under his feet.
The ancient town of Hexia in Huai'an Prefecture has a history of 2,000 years, and the town of Hexia has produced many Jinshi and raised many people, known as the "hometown of Jinshi", and its cultural heritage is very profound. Far from the humiliation of the crotch of the military strategist Han Xin, the writer Mei Cheng, the anti-gold heroine Liang Hongyu and so on.
Mei Cheng, the word uncle, the Western Han Dynasty Cifu family. Han nationality, a native of Huai'an, once served as a literary attendant of Liu Bi, the king of Wu. Before the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he wrote to discourage King Wu from raising troops, and during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he wrote to persuade King Wu to stop his army, but King Wu did not listen. After the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was pacified, he became famous for it, and for a long time he was regarded as a guest of the great powers, and later became a literary friend of Liu Wu, the king of Liang.
Young Master Shen admired this literary master very much, and his main literary achievement was Cifu. "Hanshu • Art and Literature Chronicles" recorded "Nine Chapters of the Instrument Fu", only three of which exist today, "Seven Hairs" is the first work that marks the formal formation of the Han Fu, and "Seven Hairs" is a work from Chu Ci to the Han Fu.
Young Master Shen thought to himself that "the magnificent first continent in the south of the Yangtze River" was really not in vain, and Master Huo's inscription poem surprised Young Master Shen, Wenqu Xing was really going to descend on this magical land under the river.
"Young Master Shen. It's going to be a day soon, come down. Downstairs, there was a sudden voice from the shopkeeper.
Xiaolong hurriedly urged Young Master Shen, and the master and servant immediately went downstairs.
There was constant laughter in the Mingyue Hall, and when Master Shen saw that his son had arrived, he hurriedly beckoned the distinguished guests to sit down. The Mingyue Hall happens to accommodate two tables, the two parents at the main table plus the closest relatives of both sides, Shen Rui, as the protagonist of today, is naturally at this table.
"Here comes the starter." The wedding feast is about to begin.
Master Shen was dressed more formally than usual today, and he stood up happily and delivered a generous speech: "I am so happy today, I am happy that my son can marry a beautiful and virtuous lady of the Xu family, which is the ancestor of our Xu family." As the saying goes, those who come are not outside, and those who come outside do not come. All of you here are my honored guests of Xu, and the dog is about to tie the knot with Miss Xu, which is the biggest happy event in the Shen Mansion. So, please toast and pay tribute to your family and friends. ”
"Master Shen is too polite, come, let's have a toast!" Master Xu hurriedly stood up, and everyone stood up too.
The Mingyue Hall suddenly became lively, and the store served food from time to time.
"Crab roe lion's head." With the second newspaper of the shop, a large bowl of green vegetables lined with "lion head" came up, because of the large and round size, exaggerated for the lion's head, this is the signature dish of the restaurant.
"The soft pocket fish is here." This is a traditional famous dish in Yangzhou and Huai'an, which belongs to Huaiyang cuisine and is also the most prestigious dish in Huaiyang cuisine.
"Dismantling the stewed silver carp head", it takes the silver carp head as the main material, the cooking is mainly stewed vegetables, the taste belongs to the salty and umami taste, the skin is sticky and smooth, the fish meat is fat and tender, the soup is thick, the taste is delicious, the nutrition is rich, it is the leader in Huaiyang cuisine.
"Please use the shrimp in the white robe slowly."
Master Shen introduced: "The white-robed shrimp and the soft long fish, which are known for their fine selection of ingredients and deep stir-fry skills, are known as Huai fried twin peaks, representing the highest level of Huaiyang cuisine. "The raw material of the shrimp in the white robe must use the local green shrimp produced in Hongze Lake, which has thin skin and thick meat, and the squeezed shrimp is white and plump.
Master Xu was fascinated when he heard it, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a restaurant in Hexia Ancient Town, Shanyang County, and he could actually achieve this dish to the point of reaching the peak, and the respect in his heart arose.
"Still." Master Shen sold a pass, and everyone listened more attentively.
"The chefs of Huaiyang cuisine have such a trick in this dish in their practice year after day, year after year."
"What is it?" Master Xu's appetite was hung up, and he couldn't help but ask.
