Since the emergence of new tableware, Chinese people's eating habits have also begun to change.

From the initial separate meal system to the later stages when everyone served on the table, the table etiquette also changed with the changes in dining habits. Compared with the previous separate meal system, the family gathered around the dining table to eat more warmly.

However, in this period of the world, regular occasions, the principle of separate meals must be followed. After all, it was the feudal era as the background, and subordinates and superiors had a better sense of layering. Eating together would be a bit restrained.

If you have to ask your superiors to cut off your chopsticks, you will dare to cut off your chopsticks, which will make you feel embarrassed. Especially Wenming is strictly speaking, it cannot be considered an employee of the yamen. He is just a part-time salary and helps Wang Yong.

Perhaps one day, after Wang Yong and Wanshiwu are in a quarrel, or after he is dismissed from the C-level membership, he will have to return to his original position.

"It's a separate meal... I feel that there is less New Year atmosphere..." Wang Yong took over the task of the New Year banquet, so he naturally had to start thinking about the menu of the New Year banquet.

"Branded lion head is naturally indispensable... Braised beef... Forget it, there is no such condition... Gourd chicken can be included in the alternative... Steamed fish, the problem is that if the bass is fresh, the cost is not ordinary... Braised pork, if there is braised lion head, it is a bit repetitive, after all, this is a banquet..." Wang Yong checked and selected in the New Year dishes.

Rice cakes can be considered, and of course, dumplings are the main staple foods. Seasonal vegetables are just lettuce, cabbage, onions, radish, spinach mustard and sweet beans, etc., and fungus can also be included in the alternative...

Speaking of which, there seems to be some mushrooms for sale in the winter market, and I don’t know what the situation is here.

Chicken, duck, fish must not be missing. If the chicken is a white-cut chicken, then the duck or goose should be roasted; if the chicken is a gourd chicken, then the duck is mainly cut off. After all, the two dishes with similar cooking methods at the banquet are obviously inappropriate.

Braised horns with braised trotters, two methods are made from one north and one south. It is called round hoofs in the south and elbows in the north. If you don’t have excessive meals, the visual feeling of the hoofs is much worse.

There are good grains, no sweet potatoes, corn and pumpkin, at least not yet able to squander. Old vinegar and peanuts are a good choice, and the appetizers used for banquets are also a good choice.

There is no way to make up the soup with chicken, duck and vegetables, so you have to choose a soup that can be served on the noodles. Turtle is a good choice. Add ham to stew, and it is light and sweet. It is a good choice for appetizing soup.

Of course, you should not miss the shrimp. Choose the shrimp thread, pick the shrimp thread, pour a little wine into the water until it is about 90% mature, and use minced ginger and garlic with soy sauce and dripping two drops of sesame oil as dipping sauce. It is also a good dish. It can be put on the middle of a greasy meat dish to connect the past and the future.

Finally, the menu was roughly determined: the starter - rind jelly; the front soup - turtle ham soup; the side dish - steamed sea bass; the main courses were braised lion head, white-burned prawns, gourd chicken and iron pot stewed lamb; the main courses - dumplings; vegetables - spinach with soup; desserts - caramel pudding; wine - Dukang/yellow wine.

"Okay, I've probably decided on the menu!" Wang Yong wrote down the menu, "Help buy raw materials!"

"Okay!" Wenming took the menu and saw that the seasonings and ingredients were required on it, so he nodded and immediately went to Wanshiwu to coordinate. This was his job. The key is that he also had a part in the banquet that night!

In order to make the dishes taste more delicious in two days, you must prepare something, that is, serve soup!

"I haven't made soup before..." For Wang Yong, the stuff like soup is too far away from him. The ingredients are mainly lean meat, old chicken and ham, which can be cooked successfully in more than four hours.

In ancient times, soup was like "MSG". Wang Yong had checked it before, or just looked at it, but now his memory has improved. He recalled it directly: 19 kilograms of lean meat, 8 kilograms of old chicken, 3 kilograms of peeled ham, 42 kilograms of water, and boiled it over slow heat to make about 30 kilograms of soup. Of course, since it was a test work, it was scaled year-on-year, and boiled about two or three kilograms.

"The time is two days later, in other words, I only have two days to conduct the experiment..." There are these ingredients here, and Wang Yong can prepare them at any time, but how to make the most delicious soup is another matter.

The definition of soup is not "soup", but a "seasoning". During cooking, it can be used in stir-frying, rolling, simmering, and stewing. In other words, it is not just about soup with spinach, but other dishes can also be used.

"Skinned raw ham soaked in water to remove the excess salt... peeled the old chicken... and blanched it separately with lean meat (pig big bones)... boil the blood foam and remove it, and then take it out. Prepare a large pot of water, then put the chicken, lean meat (pig big bones) and ham in, and simmer for four hours... The ratio was not wrong, and the ratio of each ingredient was strictly followed by the recipe... However, the soup made in this way was just a standard... It was far from the soup that belonged to me..." Wang Yong processed the ingredients one after another according to the recipe method, turned on the fire and simmered slowly. Looking at the soup pot, he couldn't help but sigh.

The most standard one may not be the "best" choice. Only by extracting the umami flavor from all ingredients with strong umami flavor and maintaining an absolute balance can it be considered as your own "exclusive" soup.

"Sniff... Wuyou, what are you secretly making? "A cute dog was obviously attracted by the taste. Seeing Wang Yong in front of the stove and something was stewing in the pot, he ran over.

"I'm making soup. I'm saying that I'm full after dinner? And I just ate apple candy!" Wang Yong complained directly.

"I'm just curious about what I'm stewing. This smells so fragrant...sniff..." Xun Yu twitched his nose.

"The one used at this New Year dinner is called soup. It is more appropriate to say that it is a seasoning than a soup. Add some in it when cooking to improve freshness..." Wang Yong did not hide it.

"How long will it take to complete?" Xun Yu asked quickly, and the invisible tail behind him had already shook.

"Two hours! And this is my first try, it's hard to guarantee the taste..." Wang Yong really couldn't stand her, "Go back and have a good rest. You will taste it at the banquet the day after tomorrow!"

"Hey? Will it take that long? There is nothing I can do...I'll go back first!" When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately looked disappointed and left dejectedly... The defeated dog?!

Suddenly I felt that I needed to take responsibility around me... It was very uncomfortable to hold it in my heart... Wang Yong looked at Xun Yu's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Chef, the materials you want are being taken at the moment. It will take one day to prepare for the surrounding county towns!" Half an hour later, Wenming also came back to report. The construction of the Wanshi House has just begun and the warehouse has just been completed, and the materials are indeed not that rich.

"It's okay, you must prepare it for me the day after tomorrow!" Wang Yong nodded. With his privileges, if you speed up the business, there will be no additional charge.

"In order to have a good meal in two days, I will follow up with all my strength!" Wenming solemnly promised.
