After hearing Zhang Zhong's words, the officials all understood. The new governor should also know that the folk customs here are different. Some officials are happy if they want to buy people's hearts, while others look ugly, and others are indifferent.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the ship with a clairvoyance, and wrote down the expressions of every official, especially those with ugly faces. Such people are usually villains. They have been corrupted and accepted bribes. They use their power to harm the interests of the people. I'm fattening myself up and so on.
They were afraid that someone in charge would be his boss, and the last thing they would like to see is a rich official in the family, which is not easy to bribe.
The working people still don’t know that the newly-arrived high-ranking officials let them cook, and some are ready to go home to cook and take them over to eat for their family members.
At this moment, the 56 people in the water received the signal, and they stepped on the water and shouted to the people on the shore: "Guys, don't go, Mr. Zhang has asked someone to prepare lunch for lunch, and they will eat it soon."
I shouted several times to make sure that the people could hear clearly. The fifty-six people stopped. They were exhausted by shouting those times just now. They were still stepping on the water. Thanks to the usual weight-bearing exercises in the water. There is also sea water, which is buoyant.
The common people have never encountered such a thing before, even if they have to bring their own meals for 20 days of work every year, they looked at Zhang Zhong who was surrounded by officials in disbelief, and then looked at Those who cook on the shore really have a little hope in their hearts.
The common people are not looking forward to a meal, no matter how good the meal is, I can bear not eating it, but hope that this will come true. That means that the new official is still a good official at least now, and then the life in the future may be better.
"Listen to me, listen to me, wait, wait, see if it's really cooking for us." An old man who was being supported yelled to the crowd, coughing twice after yelling twice.
When everyone heard the old man's words, they really didn't move. They were all waiting there, and the people who were working couldn't be so serious. They stopped from time to time to take a look at the cooking place on the shore.
"Master Zhang really loves the people like a child, and he brought so many ingredients when he came over there. I don't know how the food tastes there? You must try it later." An official who had been expressionless just now praised him. .
After his boasting, a trace of worry appeared on the faces of the previously happy people. The mouths of the previously ugly-faced people were curled up. They seemed to have not listened carefully to what Zhang Zhong said, thinking that what Zhang Zhong had brought was the capital city. There, and it's still the way there.
People in the north like to eat mutton, which has a strong smell. As a result, local people must be unaccustomed to eating it, and the people will think that this new official has deliberately harmed them.
Zhang Zhong listened to this man's words and looked at him carefully, then smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Xiaobao stared at the man on the boat to see, "Remember this person, turn around and check it with me. Use this little trick in front of me, and I will let him know what a big trick is."
The old man who was talking just now yelled again, "Listen to me, the adults are from Beijing, and the cooks may also be there. The taste of the cooked food may not be accustomed to eating. Everyone listens to me, as long as it is an adult. If you make it, even if it is unpalatable, you will have to eat it."
The common people nodded their heads when they heard it. They also knew that the people who came from there were different from here. They just need to make it. They don’t care if it’s a habit to eat. They wait for people to eat there, and adults are not accustomed to it. What
Zhang Zhong also heard the old man's words, and now he gets serious. The old man seems not easy, and he can think of such things.
Zhang Zhongsi is not worried that the prepared meals will make the people here uncomfortable. He has long been accustomed to the dishes of various places. At home, he found cooks from all over the capital in the capital, and spent a lot of money to buy ingredients from all over, taking turns. To do, I really couldn't stand it at first.
I can see that my son and daughter-in-law can talk about the advantages and disadvantages no matter what kind of dishes they eat.
All the cooks on the boat cook all kinds of dishes, not to mention how good they are. At least the flavors of different places can be grasped, and the ingredients are already prepared. My son has calculated that there is no dock to dock here, and deliberately Arrange to lead a group of officials to speak here, saying that they want to see which official is credible.
It stands to reason that it is most convenient to make stews at this time, but stews are usually northern dishes. The cooks would rather get tired and use a large pot to start frying a single dish. Four dishes, no soup, and the main food is rice noodles.
Based on the experience of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan at the time, I think people should be similar now. With the chefs who have been here to the capital, they pay attention to the hot and sour flavor, especially the chicken, an indispensable dish, and bamboo shoots. , The other two dishes are orthodox dishes, braised pork and steamed prawns.
Originally, I wanted to make horseshoe cakes, but unfortunately I couldn't get so many horseshoes. The boat had enough food for 10,000 people.
The taste of other dishes is slow, but under the steamed prawns, the hanging soup is used. The thin and thick taste is blown everywhere by the sea breeze. After the surrounding people smell it, they smelled their noses and shouted.
After the old man who had just shouted smelled it, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Zhong's side, showing an expression of admiration.
Zhang Zhong also smelled it, and said to the people around him: "This dish is steamed prawns. Real prawns. The smallest is three inches long. You will taste it later. If you are willing to eat it, I will eat it directly. I will also bring it. I got a few kinds of dipping materials."
"It's still the adults who have prepared well, and I'll be full of food after a while." After a worried official smelled the smell, he sighed in relief and agreed with him.
The expressions of the officials changed again, revealing the various attitudes in their lives.
Except for the braised pork for a longer time, it just has to go through the water before coming down. There are a few more processes. Other dishes such as chicken have been prepared in advance and can be eaten after they are served. The production of steamed shrimp and bamboo shoots is faster. When the cook felt that the braised pork was almost the same, he started to add rice noodles.
For the hot and sour soup, just throw in the rice noodles and fish for a few fishes. Although there is no chili here, it is not clear whether the locals can really suit the taste, but the chefs in the past like to make spicy things, such as green onion, ginger and garlic. Wait, there are some slightly spicy ones, like leeks and garlic sprouts.
When the braised pork is ready, the rice noodles are also ready. On the side are chopped green onion and coriander, as well as sesame seeds and sliced pork, as well as vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper oil. Put whatever you like.
Plates, bowls and chopsticks made of thin wood were piled up in the cooking area. When the fire was out, the cook would knock on the pot with a spoon.
"Take a break and eat. Remember not to last, especially the little children and people who work, or you will have to heal your stomach if you are tired."
After repeating it twice, the old man walked over first, glanced at the four dishes, nodded, and boasted: "Okay, you have the intention, give me a copy, how do you use this?"
The old man picked up a dinner plate. There were several grids on the plate, but he didn't understand it.
The cook took it, and put each of the four dishes in the grids, put the pickles in the small grids, and ran out of a large bowl of rice noodles, handed the chopsticks and said apologetically: "You can only find it yourself. It’s impossible to bring so many stools on board."
The bowl of rice noodles happened to be placed in a circular grid in the middle of the tray. It was very convenient to hold. The old man didn't care if there was a place to sit. He broke the plate and walked to the side and started eating.
Someone took the lead, and the other people lined up in several lines, waiting in front of a few cooks to get the food. One by one couldn’t keep the food. Everyone would come and make one. Everyone boasted. good to eat.
Waiting for the number of people to be slightly less, Zhang Zhong also brought the officials over, and also picked up a dinner plate, made a portion, and made the rice noodles a little bit spicy and put less vinegar.
His behavior is different in the eyes of the people. He didn’t expect that he would never see it at all. Such a big official would eat the same things as himself and others. The dishes are really delicious. Four dishes are a staple food, and he usually dreams. I can eat it but dare not eat it like that, but how can an official eat the same thing as a people like myself.
Zhang Zhong didn’t care about it. He first picked up a chopsticks rice noodle, Hu Lu put it in his mouth, licked his lips with his tongue, and said to the other officials who were stunned there: "Eat? Is it because it tastes bad? I eat it. I think it’s okay, it’s the braised pork made in a big pot. The taste is a bit bad, and the cook didn’t dare to make it that sweet."
The new governor has eaten it. Anyone else dared not eat it. Even if they think that eating with the people is a bit degrading, they have to come and stand for a meal. After they taste the taste of the food, they don’t care about their identity anymore, happy. To eat.
Everyone saves on eating other dishes, basically it will be enough. The rice noodles tasted unceremoniously. Some people were sent some rice noodles on the boat. The cook was not able to eat now and was busy giving it to the soup.
It didn’t take much time to eat a meal, less than two quarters of an hour, but the speed of eating was countless times faster than usual. Sure enough, a little kid was greedy, and his stomach was obviously full when he ate, because he ate quickly. , The signal of neural reflex has not been transmitted to the brain, waiting to feel it, it can't hold it anymore.
Da Chuan immediately put down twenty doctors and two doctors, and they came here to give acupuncture and massage again. Just a few mouthfuls on the ground, and some are not too serious for some Shancha pills. .
The local people were really relieved this time. The official who came was a good official. The price of the four dishes was not low. So many people were eaten all at once, and so many doctors were prepared.
Zhang Zhong also took this opportunity to shout to the people around him: "I brought these doctors. I will build medical clinics in various counties in a few days. If you feel uncomfortable, go and see if you don’t need money. I only charge one capital for buying medicine, and I don’t need to save it for me. I have money in my family.”
