Views:

When Yun Yanhui saw Zhao Yunchu coming, she was a little embarrassed and stood up to say hello as if nothing had happened, "Yunchu is here, sit down first and I'll finish talking."

Zhao Yunchu nodded obediently, sat on a Hu bed, looked at them, and looked pitiful.

"What a lovely little Langjun, little uncle, let him sit down too."

"That's it, how lonely it is to sit there alone."

Others shook Yun Yanhui's arm, showing pity for Zhao Yunchu, and felt that this was Yun Yanhui's playmate. It's a pity that Yan Ge'er was talking about business alone and left the children alone.

Yun Yan asked Zhao Yunchu back, "Are you sitting here?"

Zhao Yunchu looked confused, he really wanted to sit next to Brother Yan, but he felt that it was very crowded there. After sitting there, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be crowded with those big sisters again...

So, after struggling for a long time, Zhao Yunchu said weakly, "... why don't you sit down."

He always felt that he might be scorned by Brother Yan, but who knew that Brother Yan really stood up and sat next to him.

Zhao Yunchu was immediately very happy, and saw a sister on the opposite side throw a bunch of grapes over, and reached out to catch it. After thinking about it, he followed the steps of those older sisters, peeling the grapes and feeding them to Yunyan.

"..." Yun Yan gave him a strange look back. In fact, he felt that Zhao Yunchu was wrong, but in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Yunchu looked expectant, and he didn't want to slap his face too much, just like he really sat down just now. It's the same, so I ate it.

Zhou Renai didn't know Zhao Yunchu's identity either, and thought it was Yun Yanhui's playmate like everyone else, and continued to talk to Yun Yanhui about the day's arrangements. After the negotiation is over, it is time to revise and revise.

"It's settled like that, Brother Yan, take more care." Zhou Renai gave a graceful salute, and her daughters also stood up to salute.

Yun Yan returned the greeting, "Thank you for your hard work, will you stay for dinner?"

"Don't bother, let's go back to the rehearsal, the food festival is not long." Zhou Renai smiled and led the people away again, a fragrant breeze passed by, and the laughter faded away.

"Fortunately, she's gone," Yun Yan turned around and said to Zhao Yunchu, "I'm just being polite, there are too many of them, and I don't have enough bowls."

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu wanted to peel the grapes for him, but Yun Yanhui quickly held it down, "Why are you still addicted?"

Zhao Yunchu said indifferently, "Don't you like it?"

"They call me uncle, so they peel the grapes for me. Do you want to call me uncle too?" Yun Yan replied.

"No," Zhao Yunchu shook his head like a rattle, and added tirelessly, "But I want to peel the grapes... But if Yan Geer doesn't like it, forget it."

Yunyan replied: "..."

You clans are so boring, have you had too many good days and actually love to serve people

"Let's not talk about you... Are you staying for lunch?" Yun Yanhui was not being polite this time. "My mother is going to collect the rent, and by the way, I will eat at the old neighbor's. I will cook at noon today. There will be fish to eat."

"Okay." Zhao Yunchu nodded.

It was not too early, Yun Yan looked back at what he said and went to pack the fish. This is the newly caught Hehua fish. Now the chef invited is trying to cook it according to the various methods he said. After tasting it, he felt that it was as delicious as the one he had eaten in modern times, so he also kept a few at home to prepare When it comes to cooking and eating, Zhao Yunchu has caught up.

Yun Yan went back to cut the fish, and Zhao Yunchu followed behind him like a small tail, squatting beside him to watch.

"Brother Yan, can I go to the food festival?"

"Come if you want, this is open to the outside world, anyone can come." Yun Yanhui cut open the fish and removed the gills, intestines, and gallbladder.

Zhao Yunchu said dully: "My brothers don't want to accompany me, some are busy sleeping, some have appointments with colleagues, and some sons have appointments..."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yanhui patted Zhao Yunchu's face with her fish tail, "Why are you so pitiful, then you can follow me. I shouldn't have much to do that day, unless there is an emergency."

Zhao Yunchu was slapped with water stains on his face, and smiled, "You are so kind, Brother Yan."

"Then go and cut up the cornel, ginger, garlic, etc." Yun Yanhui commanded rudely.

Ginger wipes the pan, pour the oil into the pan and heat it for six or seven minutes, then put the Hehua fish pieces into the pan and fry them slowly. sauce.

When the fire boils, cover the pot and let it simmer for a while. After the taste, add some chopped green onion and spices to collect the juice and pour it into a snow-white fish-shaped porcelain plate.

This porcelain plate is very well-colored and specially cooked to hold fish. It can even be said that it is specially designed for Hehua fish. After all, the pattern on the edge of the plate is the ears of rice.

The strong aroma was tangy, and Yun Yanhui said to Zhao Yunchu, "You're so greedy, you try a piece first, I won't tell Xiaobao and Shuangyi."

Zhao Yunchu picked up a piece of Hehua fish and took a bite, biting through the charred skin. The flesh of the fish was fat, tender and salty. The soup overflowed into his mouth. It's also soft and fluffy, and you can eat it completely.

Even Zhao Yunchu, a native of Tokyo who loves sweets, couldn't help but say: "Fragrant and tender, the fish from the Yellow River is hard to come by!"

"Fresh, fresh, fresh!!"

Half a month later, at the 1st Daxiangguo Temple Haoyao Sebei International Food Festival, a Korean man stood in front of the Hehuayu stall and tasted the Hehuayu soup simmered in a clay pot. Say three fresh words.

He closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, his eyes lit up, "In addition to the strong fragrance of fish, there is indeed the fragrance of grass flowers, where can I buy this kind of fish? The Yellow River Fish is more delicious!”

The Yellow River is not too far from Bianliang, and many of the fish markets in Bianliang sell Yellow River fish. However, it is obviously difficult to get the Hehua carp specially cultivated by Daxiangguo Temple.

The monk at the stall pointed to the back, "The live fish is in the house. You can buy it inside. I'm sorry, but it will affect the taste if you put it outside."

The Goryeo waved his hand and couldn't wait to get into the monk's room. When he came out again, he was already carrying five fat, fresh croakers strung with wicker sticks.

Yun Yan stood back and watched similar pictures appear again and again, showing a satisfied smile.

Zhao Yunchu, who was on the side, tugged at his arm, "Brother Yan, have you read it? You've seen a lot of people buying fish, it's time for you to take me to eat."

"Okay." Yun Yanhui and the monk ordered a few times, and then took Zhao Yunchu to the depths.

In addition to the sounds of various sales, exchanges, and evaluations of food, there was also a faint sound of music. It was on the main stage that had been set up. The prostitutes were playing and singing over and over again. , is the selected theme poem of this food festival, it is like a song. Just on the main stage, there are also some special trophies displayed, ready to be presented to the winners of the food festival.

While walking, there are all kinds of delicacies on the neatly arranged stalls on the left and right, divided according to the type of cuisine. There are too many people, so the stalls have to be blocked. Fortunately, each stall has a small high flag with the name of the store or dish written on it, so that people can identify it without getting close.

Yun Yanhui didn't know how many people came today. He only knew that a monk had come to report to him not long ago. There were too many people in the temple and it was already too crowded. As a result, Yun Yanhui made a decisive decision and ordered that no one should be let in from now on, but only allowed to go out.

The people outside are still protesting, so why not let them in

The monks have to explain to them that there are too many people inside, please don’t worry, there will definitely be enough ingredients. As long as the people inside are full, they can release people in batches. .

The waiting people couldn't help but stunned, how many people actually came

- Of course, Tokyo alone has a population of nearly one million, and there are still people in the surrounding counties, who will also be radiated by publicity. This time the promotion is so well done, it is not surprising that more people come. However, there are so many people that it is necessary to limit the flow of people, which is still a rare situation, which is something to be proud of.

A group of people came to Kaifeng House to help maintain law and order. Fortunately, it was reported in advance that there would be a large-scale event.

Such a hot situation made the people outside even more reluctant to leave, preferring to wait outside. Even if the people inside take a bite from a stall, they should be able to get out after a circle, and then it's their turn to go in, right

Yun Yanhui also met Boss Hao, who is very hot. He laughed so hard that he lost his eyes. He just heard it after walking for a while. He praised the good-looking tableware. .

This sponsorship is really worth it, so he couldn't help holding Yun Yanhui's hand and praised Yun Yanhui for a long time, the event was well organized!

Yunyan said reservedly that it was because the tableware with good burnt color was indeed of good quality.

Yun Yanhui felt that after an event was held, the organizers, sponsors, contestants and the public were all happy, which was the biggest gratification for their planners.

Zhao Yunchu next to him watched Boss Hao praise Yun Yanhui fiercely, and Yun Yanhui was still talking politely to Boss Hao, and the stars in his eyes became more and more.

Why, why is there such a perfect person as Yan Geer in the world, who can learn Buddhist scriptures well, do things well, and can hold such a big food festival if he likes to eat...

Yun Yan watched Boss Hao walk away, only to think that Zhao Yunchu, who was beside him, had unknowingly hugged his arm and leaned his head on his shoulder.

"...What are you doing?" Yun Yan looked back at Zhao Yunchu with a black line on her face. Although she didn't want to do this, it seemed that only two words could describe the expression on Zhao Yuchu's face.

Zhao Yunchu blushed and said, "Brother Yan, you are amazing."

... Oh, the sweetness of silly Baitian seems to have doubled again today, she is like a girl, just don't hold people's arms so hard.

Yun Yan returned a blank expression and flicked his head on his forehead, "Do you still need to talk about what everyone knows? Let go of your hands."

"Ouch." Zhao Yunchu let go and covered his forehead, looking at Yun Yan back pitifully.

Yun Yanhui walked forward unmoved, and said without looking back, "There is a cave of plum blossom buns from Wanglou's house in front of me. I specially asked them to leave a cage for me to come." This is the most famous one in Bianliang nowadays. Steamed buns, and they are soup dumplings. They were also invited to participate in the food festival this time. With the popularity of their home and the flow of people today, they must be sold out as soon as they come out of the cage.

Zhao Yunchu liked to eat his steamed buns on weekdays, and when he heard that Yan Ge'er was so careful, he jumped up.
