Today's menu includes lotus fish buns, soup-soaked embroidery balls, lotus chicken... Xuexia soup and Songsao fish soup, a total of ten dishes including cold dishes, hot dishes and soup.
Mrs. Yang thought there was more on the back of the menu, but when she turned it over, the back was empty. So, a restaurant only sells ten dishes
Yun Du seemed to see her confusion and explained, "The dishes we serve every day are decided by the boss. We will only make these ten dishes today."
It was the first time that Mrs. Yang had seen such a restaurant. She was surprised, but she didn't say anything and started ordering food.
First, she ordered the Song Sao Fish Soup, mainly because it was so famous. As for the rest, she had never heard of the names of these dishes. She could guess what some of them were by looking at the names, but she couldn't guess at all for some of them, so she just ordered a few at random.
At this time Jing Chengyan also entered the box. As soon as he entered, he felt something different.
The private room was elegant and luxurious, spacious and comfortable, not like a private room in a restaurant, but more like a dining room. Especially after he sat down, the carved wooden chair with a cushion that was neither too soft nor too hard was just the right size to support his waist.
He leaned back in the chair and felt quite comfortable. He wondered if he should get some cushions like this in his own home.
In fact, it's not just the cushions. Everything in this box, whether it's the paintings on the wall, the flower pots next to it, or even the table in front of you, all give people a sense of pleasure and leisure.
In sharp contrast to this box were the short and fat chef Han and the seven or eight evil slaves he brought with him. They had messy hair and rough clothes, and looked like rats falling into a bunch of flowers. How could they be so disgusting
Why didn't I realize before that they were so hateful
"All of you go out and wait for me." Those evil slaves wanted to fiddle with the things in the box. Jing Chengyan couldn't bear it anymore and gave the order.
Those evil slaves were a little overwhelmed. Didn’t they come here to cause trouble? Why did the young master ask them to leave
"Get out!" Jing Chengyan shouted. Seeing them made him feel ashamed. Don't they usually look in the mirror? They dared to go out like this.
Several evil slaves walked out of the box with shamefaced brows and eyes.
"Sir, I..." Chef Han said with a flattering smile.
He was fat to begin with, and when he smiled like that, his eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together, making him look a little wretched.
"You get out too." Jing Chengyan said with disdain.
The smile on Chef Han’s face froze. He stood up and walked out of the box, looking back every few steps.
The box became quiet. Zheng Li Niang stepped forward and handed the menu to Jing Chengyan.
Zheng Li Niang was beautiful and a little cold. She stood in the box and handed over the menu... Beautiful woman and beautiful things. Jing Chengyan finally felt that this feeling was right.
He suddenly looked forward to the food in this restaurant, wondering if it would be delicious.
If it’s food…
If not, he would have to demolish the store.
He looked at the menu, but found that there were only ten dishes on it. He turned the menu over in disbelief, and there was nothing on the back, there were really only ten dishes.
"Where are those Yangfangzangyu and Taibai duck?" he asked, suppressing his anger.
"It's the owner's rule that we provide whatever dish she wants to cook today." Zheng Li Niang's voice was a little cold, but it sounded very pleasant, like the collision of gold and jade.
Jing Chengyan was almost laughing out of anger. What kind of shop owner is this? He is so arrogant.
Immediately, he was about to overturn the table and start a fight.
However, seeing the beauty next to him, he decided to wait until the food came. If it didn't taste good, he would lift the lid again, which could be considered as being considerate to the beauty.
He didn't even bother looking at the menu and said, "Bring them all up." There were only ten dishes. The Jing family was rich, and he would always eat more dishes in one meal at home.
"Okay." Zheng Li Niang took the menu and went out, her skirt fluttering.
Jing Chengyan sat there waiting.
At this time, Mr. Luo, who was sitting next to him, also looked at the furnishings in the box and was secretly surprised. The room was so exquisitely decorated, but he didn't know who did it. Maybe this store could really give him a surprise
He sat down and Zhan Changchuan handed him the menu.
There were only ten dishes. After looking at them, Boss Luo ordered the four that interested him the most.
After the order was placed, the people at the back immediately became busy.
This was the first business after the opening of their new store. Jiang Yunzhu also showed her utmost skills and cooked all the dishes by herself, with Xue Jing and Zhang Hequan helping her.
Soon, the dishes were ready and served out.
Mrs. Yang's dishes were served first. She ordered five dishes: Tangyu Xiuwan, Furong Mouth-Watering Chicken, Three Fresh Dragon and Phoenix Balls, Milky White Almonds, and Song Sao Fish Soup.
In a white porcelain bowl, there is a clear soup with a bright color. In the soup, a ball as big as a child's fist rolls. The ball is yellow and pink, just like a hydrangea.
Mrs. Yang had eaten lion's head in clear soup, which is a famous dish in Huaiyang, but she didn't know what the soup bath embroidery pills had to do with it.
If there are learned people here at this time, they will recognize that this soup-soaked embroidered balls is a famous dish in the ancient book “The Menu of the Shaowei Banquet”, which appeared earlier than the clear soup lion head.
Mrs. Yang was still looking at the dishes, but the young man and girl next to her couldn't help but say, "These dishes smell so good!"
"Mom, eat." The little girl urged Mrs. Yang.
"Eat." Mrs. Yang said with a smile.
The boy and the girl were waiting for her to say this, and immediately picked up their chopsticks and picked up the dishes they wanted to eat.
The boy picked up a piece of lotus mouth-watering chicken. Last year, Yang Sheng had someone send back a lot of spicy braised food, including boneless duck feet, pig tails and so on. He liked it at first taste, but unfortunately he finished it later. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, Yang Sheng would not take it back.
This time, when he saw the Furong Mouth-Watering Chicken, with pieces of greasy chicken soaked in bright red chili oil and sprinkled with peanuts, sesame seeds and other things, his appetite was immediately aroused.
The chicken nuggets were dipped in chili oil, and when I picked them up, drops of soup fell out. There seemed to be something else in the chili oil, and the soup was very thick.
When you put it in your mouth, the first feeling is not spicy, but, it smells so good! It smells so good, the smell of chicken, chili, sesame, peanuts, and all kinds of aromas mixed together, exploding in your mouth.
Then comes the spiciness, but it’s not a dry spiciness, but a refreshing and spicy taste.
"Mom, it's delicious." The boy pointed at the lotus mouth-watering chicken and said excitedly. This dish was even better than the snacks that Yang Sheng sent back last year. He felt like he had fulfilled his dream and received an unexpected surprise.
Of course, this dish tastes better than those snacks. It was also made by Jiang Yunzhu, but those snacks took a long time to get to them, so the taste must have been greatly reduced.
This delicious Furong Chicken is made with freshly slaughtered chicken. The chicken is delicious and even the chili has the heat of being freshly fried.
The little girl next to the boy picked up the Three Fresh Dragon and Phoenix Balls. As the name suggests, this dish is actually made with chicken and shrimp. The chicken is made into chicken balls and the shrimp is made into shrimp balls. They are fried in a pan until golden brown, then stir-fried in oil and coated with soup.
The finished product is golden in color and the soup is clear. When you bite it, the shrimp ball is crispy on the outside, but tender and smooth on the inside that can drip with soup, refreshing and delicious.
"Mom, it's delicious." The little girl went to pick up the shrimp balls again, and did not forget to report her experience to Mrs. Yang.
Seeing how impatient they were, Madam Yang glared at them unhappily. After all, they were the children of the great general who defended the country, and just... Well, she ate the Tangyu Xiuwan and had no time to think about it. These balls were even more delicious than the lion's head made by the imperial chef.
The three of them buried their heads in their food.
At this time, the dishes ordered by Jing Chengyan were served one after another. The Xuexia Soup was served first, so he ate it first.
This dish is eye-catching when it is served. Its color is so beautiful, just like the clouds after snow, no wonder it is called "Xuexia Soup".
As for its taste, because this dish is made with tofu and hibiscus flowers, it has the unique fragrance of tofu without any bean smell. Combined with the light sweet fragrance of hibiscus flowers, it seems light but is very memorable.
Just like a beauty, you have to savor it carefully to appreciate its beauty.
After eating the Xuexia soup, Jing Chengyan stayed there for a while before eating the next dish.
Lotus pod fish buns, this dish is made by hollowing out the middle of a fresh lotus pod, then steaming mandarin fish meat and various spices inside. The finished fish meat is tender, smooth and fragrant, with the unique fragrance of the lotus pod, as if the fish is in the lotus, with endless freshness.
The next dish is the lotus mouth-watering chicken. This dish has a very overbearing taste and makes people's mouths water.
And then there is…
At this time, Boss Luo was eating Song Sao's fish soup.
It is said that Song Sao Fish Soup was made by a woman named Song in the previous dynasty. Her husband was the fifth child in the family, so everyone called her Song Wu Sao. The fish soup she made tasted like crab meat and was extremely delicious. Even Emperor Gaozong praised it, and it became famous all over the world.
But later the previous dynasty collapsed, Song Wusao disappeared, and the origin of Songsao's fish soup also disappeared.
Later, many people imitated this fish soup, but none was as good as the one made by Song Wusao.
Boss Luo was most curious about Mrs. Song's fish soup. As soon as the fish soup was served, he looked at the dish first.
The soup is clear and fragrant. This dish should pass the color and fragrance test, but I don’t know how it tastes…
He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of fish soup.
The fish soup felt so smooth and refreshing that I could hardly scoop it up.
When you put it in your mouth, it’s delicious, really delicious, and the beauty of the fish is fully displayed.
It was so fresh and smooth, just like crab meat.
No, there must be something else in the soup that makes it so delicious, but what is it? Boss Luo ate the whole fish soup with spoonful after spoonful, but he still couldn't taste what was in the fish soup that made it so delicious.
He scratched his head and wished he could go to the kitchen to ask immediately.
Just as he was about to stand up, he slapped his forehead. Even if he asked, no one would tell him.
No one has been able to make the original flavor of Song Sao’s fish soup so far. I’m afraid this is the key!
He looked at the fish soup with burning eyes, and he suspected that this was the authentic Song Sao fish soup.
Who on earth could have recreated this dish
He suddenly picked up the chopsticks and started eating other dishes.
When he couldn't eat any more, he sat on the chair, looking at the empty plates, thoughts turning in his mind. He was sure that the chef who made these dishes must be a famous chef, and his level was much higher than that of the Bai family's famous chef.
When did such a famous chef come to Beijing
Can he...
