"What's wrong?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at him puzzled.
Cui Weizhen said: "There's no rush, it's getting late. Let's find a place to eat first. Jingning's roasted mutton is the most famous. One of the most popular dishes in the palace banquet comes from Jingning. It's rare to come here today, so I'm sure
Don’t miss it.”
When it came to food, Ye Zhenzhen's attention was immediately attracted. She didn't realize it before, but when she heard about roasting mutton, she felt hungry and salivated.
She couldn't wait to pull Cui Weizhen's sleeve and said: "Since the last time I ate the roasted mutton from the palace banquet, I have been thinking about it. Unfortunately, no matter how much I study, I can't get the essence. There are quite a few in Beijing that are famous for their palace banquet dishes.
It’s on sale. I went to try it, but it’s not as good as what I made. I didn’t know that this dish came from Jingning. Today is the right time to meet me. Please take me to try the most authentic roasted mutton.”
Knowing her preferences, Cui Weizhen had inquired about her before coming, and took her directly to the largest restaurant in Jingning County. I heard that the chef of the Royal Shangfang in the palace came from this restaurant, and now the chef of this restaurant
The chef is a family member of the Royal Chef, and the secret method of roasting mutton is inherited from the same origin.
In order not to attract attention, the servants found another restaurant to eat. Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen went to the famous Yingke Building in Jingning County. Probably because of its great reputation, there was a lot of traffic and guests in front of the Yingke Building.
The waiters who welcomed the guests were all very smart. They saw Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen riding horses from a distance, and immediately came over to greet Nafu.
There were probably a lot of customers who came here because of the reputation. The waiter was not surprised to see new faces. While asking people to take the horses to the manger for feeding, he diligently showed the way. Cui Weizhen refused the other party's suggestion to go to the private room and sat directly in the lobby.
Got off.
Although Ye Zhenzhen was surprised, she did not dislike it. The decoration and layout of the guest building was very interesting. Although it was a lobby, it was blocked by flowers and plants. You could not see other people, but you could hear voices. It was simply the best place to find out information.
.
This thought just flashed through her mind, and Ye Zhenzhen was soon aroused by the smell of roasted meat that filled the room. After listening to the waiter's wonderful roll call, she almost couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
.
She couldn't wait to order a piece of roasted mutton, and then she had no other thoughts. Cui Weizhen was not as eager as she was, and ordered a few more special dishes and refreshments before letting the waiter go.
The waiting time was extremely long, probably because there were too many customers and the chef was too busy, so the waiter went to Sushan first.
Sushan is also the ice cream of later generations. The bottom layer is ice, covered with cream and ghee, and sometimes decorated with flowers and colorful branches. From a distance, it looks like a rockery rather than an ice cream.
It is already June, the weather is not too hot yet, and it is far from the time to eat ice cream, but Ye Zhenzhen likes to eat it, and Cui Weizhen doesn't care about the sky-high price of a portion of Sushan, so he also ordered it.
Ye Zhenzhen took a bite. Although it was not as good as the homemade one, it still had a different flavor. She ate it in small bites, and occasionally fed Cui Weizhen a bite. Because his sight was blocked, he was not too reserved about his status.
I ate a few bites, but most of the time I was wandering away, as if listening to outsiders talking, or thinking about something.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't bother her, and after she slowly finished eating the meat on the jade plate, the roasted mutton she had been waiting for for so long was finally served to the table.
