"You guys eat first, I'll make a few dishes and then we can eat!"

Xu Weiguo said with a smile.

When he first entered the door, he saw a gift box placed at Director Wang's feet. It was probably a gift brought by Director Wang.

But he didn't ask.

I and Director Wang are not subordinate to each other. Director Wang is still my elder. Logically speaking, there is no need to bring gifts when Director Wang comes to the house.

Now that I have it with me, I probably have something I want to do on my own.

Director Wang is also a human being, and since he is a human being, he has needs!

Therefore, Xu Weiguo also understands that Director Wang comes to him with gifts, but he will not take the initiative to ask about this matter. Director Wang himself said that if the matter is within his ability and does not violate work principles, he will definitely help him.

Help!

Xu Xiaoya was also very fond of Director Wang. She picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. While feeding it, she said, "Grandma Wang, this is delicious. Try it!"

"Remember to drink tea after eating! Otherwise you will choke!"

Director Wang felt better and better seeing Xu Xiaoya so cute and sensible.

I immediately tasted the dragon beard cake and pea yellow cake.

Dragon Beard Cake is a special traditional snack in Sijiu City. Its appearance is white and dense, as thin as dragon whiskers. It is refined from wheat flour, maltose and other raw materials. It has a milky white color, numerous filaments, clear layers, and is rich in nutrients. It is instant in your mouth.

Pine, sweet aftertaste and other characteristics.

There are two types of pea yellow, one is the folk version and the other is the palace version. The usual method is to grind the peas, peel them, wash them, boil them, then add sugar and stir-fry them over low heat.

It is solidified and then cut into pieces. The prepared peas are light yellow in color, sweet, cool and refreshing.

Although they are all traditional snacks, it is not easy to eat authentic ones in Sijiu City nowadays.

The average family cannot eat once a year.

Director Wang ate the cakes Xu Xiaoya fed him and took a sip of tea. His mouth was immediately filled with fragrance, his taste buds were completely stimulated, and his appetite was whetted!

At this time, Xu Xiaoya cheered and said: "Dad, Xiaoya wants to hear a story, the story of Long Xusu and Pea Huang!"

In Xu Xiaoya's eyes, there is a story behind every delicious food. This is also because Xu Weiguo likes to tell stories behind food, which makes Xu Xiaoya develop a habit. If eating is Xu Xiaoya's first

One hobby, then listening to dad Xu Weiguo tell stories is the first hobby!

“Eat and listen to stories?!”

"This is so amazing! It feels a bit like a teahouse!"

Except for Lou Xiaoe and the Xu family who acted relatively calmly, Director Wang and Teacher Ran Qiu were both surprised.

"Master Xu, you can also tell stories!"

"Weiguo, just tell me, I want to hear the story today too!"

Xu Weiguo smiled, "Director Wang, Teacher Ran Qiu, let me make you laugh. I usually make food, and I like to tell the stories behind the food to Xiaoya. Firstly, it increases Xiaoya's knowledge. Secondly,

The story behind the food is like the soul of the food!"

"When you eat delicious food, you should also know the story behind it. This is not considered a hundred meals!"

Director Wang nodded, "Weiguo, you are absolutely right! This is like the half of a belt placed in the museum. When we were crossing the grass, many veterans relied on eating the belt to resist. In that

A belt is definitely the most beautiful delicacy in the world!"

Xu Weiguo couldn't help but nodded and said: "Director Wang, you have sublimated the theme! All the food stories I told are not as good as the one you just told!"

"Since everyone wants to hear it, I'll talk about it!"

"Which one should we talk about first? Well... let's talk about the Dragon Beard Cake first!"

"First of all, everyone needs to know one thing, that is, Dragon Beard Cake has a history of more than 2,000 years in our country, and its original name was not Dragon Beard Cake, but Silver Candy. So how did it come to be called Dragon Beard Cake?

Where’s Xusu? There’s a story in it!”

"It is said that when Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, once traveled among the people, he discovered that the people actually had this flavor. It was extremely fragrant and had a special taste, so he became fond of it, so he ordered it to be brought back to the palace and named "Dragon Beard Candy".

Also known as "Dragon Beard Roll", it was a snack used by the royal court, and was later introduced to the people. It has always been a favorite food among the subjects. It is milky white in color, with thousands of fine threads, and has clear layers.

The layers are clear."

"It is said that Longxu Cake has been spread among the people for two thousand years and has been used as a snack for the emperor. It was not until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty that Longxu Cake became famous. According to legend, one day Emperor Yongzheng held a banquet for Manchu and Han Dynasties and entertained hundreds of civil and military officials. The royal chef was on hand

When making this cake, Yongzheng

When the emperor saw that his technique was skillful, like a dragon dancing in the air, the sugar silk in his hand was as white and slender as the beard of an auspicious dragon. He was very happy and rewarded all the concubines and courtiers. He also named the candy "Dragon Beard Crispy". From then on,

The reputation of Longxu Cake spreads all over the country."

After listening to the story told by Xu Weiguo, Xu Xiaoya opened her mouth and asked curiously: "Dad, is the emperor very powerful? Who is our current emperor?"

As soon as this question came out, the adults present laughed.

Director Wang touched Xu Xiaoya's head and said: "Xiaoya, the emperor was the title of the most powerful person in ancient times. Now the most powerful person in our country is called - the people!"

"Xiaoya understands. When Xiaoya grows up, she wants to be a people and become the most powerful person!"

The scene was full of laughter again.

Teacher Ran Qiu looked at Xu Weiguo with admiration, "Master Xu, you know so much, is there a story about pea yellow? Can I tell these stories of yours to my students?"

Xu Weiguo nodded, "Of course there are pea yellows. These stories are not made up by me. They are passed down from generation to generation and are well-documented. They are also part of my Chinese culture. Of course I can tell them more to my students!"

"Pea huang, also known as pea huang'er, is a traditional snack in our Sijiu City. When making it, peas are usually ground, peeled, washed, boiled, fried with sugar, coagulated, and cut into pieces. After the finished product, the appearance

It is light yellow, delicate, melts in the mouth, tastes sweet, cool and refreshing. The pea yellow of the Qing Dynasty is made of fine white peas and is famous because Cixi likes to eat it; the folk brown pea yellow is a typical spring food.

Commonly seen at spring temple fairs."

"It is said that one day Cixi was sitting in Beihai Jingxinzhai to cool off. Suddenly she heard the sound of gongs and shouts coming from the street. She was puzzled and asked what she was doing. The eunuch on duty told her that she was selling pea yellow and kidney bean rolls. Cixi

In a moment of joy, the messenger will

This person was called into the garden. When the visitor saw Lafayette, he hurriedly knelt down and held kidney bean rolls with yellow peas in his hands, asking Lafayette to appreciate them. After Cixi tasted them, he was full of praise and kept this man in the palace.

Make pea yellow and kidney bean rolls just for her."

"Cixi is famous for being picky. She likes everything she eats. How can it taste bad?"

Director Wang looked at the cake in his hand in surprise, "So, what I ate today is the same as what Cixi ate?"

"That's not true!" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "Maybe this is even more delicious than the one Cixi ate!"

If someone said this to Director Wang, she would definitely think that person was bragging to her, but she had eaten this pastry herself, and she had also heard that Xu Weiguo had cooking skills at the level of an imperial chef!

Maybe it’s like Lou Xiao’e said, the pastries she eats are the most delicious pastries in the world!

Thinking of this, Director Wang couldn't help but sincerely sighed: "Weiguo, your craftsmanship is really amazing!"

After saying that, he looked at the deaf old lady and Du Yue with envy, "Old lady, Du Yue, you are really blessed to have such a man in your family!"

The deaf old lady and Du Yue both smiled and nodded, expressing their agreement with this sentence.

Xu Weiguo waved his hand quickly and said, "Director Wang, please stop praising me. If you praise me again, I'll really lose my temper!"

"These snacks are just for you to try and appetize. We have to save some food for dinner. When we go back later, we will bring back some pastries."

“Bring it to your family to try!”

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e, Teacher Ran Qiu, and Director Wang all quickly thanked them.

Xu Weiguo brought up a pot directly.

"Hey, let's just have one dish today!"

“Pork ribs and lotus root soup pot!”

"I also blanched cabbage, mutton, beef, tofu..."

"It's cold outside, it will keep you warm after eating this!"

Everyone was stunned when they saw such a pot.

Director Wang: Darling, the meat here must account for at least 80%! Tsk tsk, Wei Guo is interested!

Teacher Ran Qiu: As expected, Master Xu’s family eats meat every day. The meat has not been cut off in the past three days, and the dishes are all different!

"Weiguo, is this what you said to do casually?"

Director Wang couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Before Xu Weiguo could answer, the others started laughing.

Even Teacher Ran Qiu, who has always been very reserved, smiled with her lips pursed.

"Eh? Is there something wrong with my question? Why are you all laughing!" Director Wang was very puzzled.

"Director Wang, we are not laughing at you, but we have asked this question again just like you!" Du Yue explained with a smile.

"Yes, when I came to Weiguo for dinner, I was shocked by Weiguo's food. Not only was there meat in every meal, it was difficult to eat the same thing!" Lou Xiao'e said: "There is no way, although Weiguo changes it every day.
