Chapter 518 Have a Good New Year - The Banquet Is Not the Hongmen Banquet
Hu Lanlan and Guo Xiaoshi were frightened when they heard that the two young ladies were equal to their own sisters. They knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Master has really killed this slave. Your status is so precious. This slave cannot bear it."
At that time, the etiquette and ethics were very strict. Although Zhu Anxiang and Zhu Anyi did not agree with this, they did not dare to be too modest.
That night, member Zhu came back from business and was in high spirits. Hearing that Zhu Shijian and the others would go to Wang's Restaurant another day, he praised them repeatedly: "Well, this is a great move. You are worthy of being my son. I will go with you tomorrow as a father."
At noon the next day, a group of people from Fat Heart Restaurant went to Wang's Restaurant together. When they saw Zhu Yuanwai, the richest man in Xianju County, also coming with them, the Wang brothers were trembling with fear. They could compare their skills with his son.
Can this great god be offended?
Ever since I got the military supplies business in Enshiji, the ground was shaking with my stamp of feet. The waiter in the shop was very smart and reported the information to the old shopkeeper in a flash. Old shopkeeper Wang was convinced, and regardless of his old age and frailty, he hurriedly called the bridgeman to carry him.
He arrived at Wang's Restaurant.
The guests were already seated, but the food had not yet been served. The brothers were anxious and didn't know what to do.
"Idiot, do you have any eyesight? Do the Zhu family care about our Wang family's barbecue recipe? The restaurant only accounts for a negligible share of the Zhu family's business." The old shopkeeper noticed the worries of his two sons and hurriedly gave instructions: "Go quickly.
Serve the best grilled chicken and grilled skewers. Also, there are seafood and other things in the kitchen. Let’s get some so I can toast my father and keep him company.”
"Old shopkeeper, you're very polite." When Zhu Yuanwai saw him coming to toast, he responded in a nonchalant manner: "I heard from Quanzi that you have some new dishes, and I came here to try them. I didn't expect to alarm you."
"Thanks to Mr. Zhu, the small building is full of splendor. Please give me some advice." The old shopkeeper bowed his waist and said: "I have a question, why did you choose Laochan's restaurant instead of Fat Heart Restaurant?"
Zhu Yuanwai knew the implication, put down his chopsticks and replied: "Eat it every day, change the taste. The dishes at Fat Heart Restaurant are like the first bloom of spring flowers, fresh but not strong in fragrance, and the taste is also light. The dishes at Wang's Restaurant are like the bloom of late spring flowers, with strong flavor and fragrance
It’s thicker and more suitable for an old man like me whose teeth are starting to fall out.”
After saying that, he laughed and said: "Flowers have their own beauty, and gardeners have their own strengths. There is no need to move them to one garden. Wouldn't it be better to have more gardens to increase the reputation of attracting visitors from all over the world?
"
It turned out that he was not here to challenge the restaurant, but to put down his posture and sincerely support it. The old shopkeeper felt relieved, and he laughed and said: "There are several new dishes in the restaurant, please comment on them."
A new big squid arrived in the kitchen. Wu Bushi was making fried wheat-eared squid. He first washed the squid, used a vertical knife to carve diagonal lines from the upper right side of the head down to the tail, turned the squid around, and then cut the squid from the upper right side of the tail.
Cut diagonally with the knife downwards, and scoop out a piece every knuckle length. Cut the mushrooms and peppers into pieces. Carve the bamboo shoots and cut them into slices. Add the soup and fish sauce.
, pepper, sesame oil and starch water to make a gravy. Mix the squid and wet starch and set aside. After the frying pan is heated, pour in the lard. When it is 50% hot, add the squid and fry it, remove and drain.
Lard. Stir-fry the lard in a cauldron, add onions, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and peppers and stir-fry briefly. Add squid, cook in Shaoxing, thicken with gravy, and finally add lard and mix well. Serve.
"Magnolia Slow·Fried Wheat Squid"
Wash and clean the squid, carve it with a vertical knife, from head to tail. Make the twill strips evenly distributed, as long as a knuckle, and shaped like an ear of wheat. Cut the mushrooms and peppers into pieces; carve the bamboo shoots into slices. Add fish sauce, pepper, sesame oil and starch to the soup.
.
Mix with water and the gravy will be as thick as honey, but mix the squid. When the wok is on high heat, pour in the oil and heat it to 50%. Add the squid and fry it in oil, and stir-fry the green onions, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and peppers briefly. Thicken the gravy with Shaoxing wine and serve.
Stir in lard in a pot.
The dish arrived. From the outside, it looked like a golden ear of wheat due to its exquisite cutting skills. Member Zhu tasted it carefully and felt that it was crisp, delicious and fragrant. It was indeed a good dish with good color, aroma and aroma.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhu. I'll go and have a look in the back kitchen." Shopkeeper Wang excused himself to go to the back kitchen and walked out. His two sons followed and asked, "Father, what did you talk about with Mr. Zhu?"
I don’t understand either.”
"Zhu Yuanwai said that they don't do barbecue and they don't take away our business. We also have to remember that if they don't do hot pot or cook the world, everyone should make their own dishes well." The old shopkeeper felt the cold sweat and ordered
Said: "You must not lower the price to solicit customers just for temporary business."
Did Zhu Yuanwai say that? The two brothers looked at each other. The old shopkeeper said: "You guys, you have to learn from Dr. Yang in observing words and expressions. This is the reason why I valued him back then."
The two brothers smiled and nodded, but they still didn't know what their father said.
In the kitchen, Zhou Zhujiu is cooking salt and pepper shrimps. He cleans the centipede-shaped shrimps with a brush, then boils them in hot water and sprinkles a small amount of cornstarch on the shrimps.
In another pot, add an appropriate amount of salad oil. When the oil reaches 80% heat, put the shrimps into the pot and wait until
The shrimps are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin is red and white, and they are ready to serve. Cut the green and red peppers into cubes, stir-fry them for a few times, then put the fried shrimps back into the pot, and sprinkle with
Add an appropriate amount of salt and pepper, stir-fry a few times, take it out of the pan and put it on a plate. Finally, cut some green onions and sprinkle them on the shrimp, and the shrimp will be skinned with salt and pepper.
"Jade House Spring·Salt and Pepper Shrimp"
It is unclear whether it is a shrimp or an insect,
It’s hard to avoid being frightened when eating for the first time.
It has several more pairs of legs than a centipede,
Looks a bit uglier than a scorpion.
Clean with hot water and a bottle of water,
Coat it with cornstarch and roll it in oil pan,
Sprinkle salt, pepper and green onions again,
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The salt and pepper shrimps are on the table. They are rich in flavor and fragrant. They are dry and crispy on the outside and white and red on the inside.
After tasting it, Zhu Yuanwai said: "The food is delicious, but it's just that I'm old and it's a bit irritating when I eat it."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked towards the hall for a few times. The Pipi shrimps were surrounded by sharp scales. What Zhu said was true, but when he ate these shrimps, they were peeled by the maid before eating them. Why did he make such a sound?
What about this emotion? Shopkeeper Wang immediately understood what he was looking at.
Half an hour later, when Zhu Yuanwai was waiting for his party to finish eating and leave, he looked up and saw that the sign saying "Everything can be grilled" had been taken off. The old shopkeeper had prepared the Four Treasures of the Study and said to Zhu Yuanwai: "Master Ling's calligraphy is exquisite, can you call him
Give us a plaque?"
Although Zhu Tonjian's calligraphy is good, it can only be written to the Spring Festival couplets for family members without losing their dignity. As for the inscription on the plaque, it is definitely not qualified. The other party's intention is very obvious, remove the signature Wanshikeke,
To express the intention of reconciliation, this goodwill cannot be ignored. Zhu
The member wanted to see how his son would deal with it, and gave a noncommittal hum. Seeing this, Zhu Toijian said: "The original plaque is very good, how dare my nephew apologize in front of everyone? Well, I'll ask someone to go to Fat Heart Restaurant to get the seal.
Come on, stamp it on the lower corner and write the word "reward"."
This is a good method. The Zhu family has already admired the Wang family's plaque, which saves some people with ill intentions from provoking excuses. Zhu Yuanwai nodded.
