Chapter 527 North Korean Defector’s Wedding – Smoke Painting
It is an annual tradition to watch the dragon lanterns for free during the Lantern Festival, but it is the first time in my life to have a free wedding banquet. Moreover, I heard that the county magistrate will also come over, and maybe you can say hello and toast with him. In this case, it is a great time for distant relatives and friends.
You have a lot of respect in front of us. When you are invited, everyone feels respectable.
We have enough dishes, and finally we have to add a pleasing dish for good luck. Lin Dadan and Gao Hongmei suggested: "Originally, at the old master's house, a dish of lucky shrimps was often served as the end of the wedding banquet. We still remember how to make this shrimp.
, try now?”
In order to be auspicious, the name of the dish is Geely Shrimp. Zhu Tonjian nodded and motioned for them to try the dish.
After arriving in the kitchen, the two of them washed the shrimps first, removed the shells and kept the tails. They cut each shrimp meat from the back with a knife, removed the sand lines, lifted the tails of the shrimps through the cut gaps, and pulled them into raw shrimp balls.
Marinate it with refined salt and Shaojiu wine slurry. Remove the stems of the peppers, wash the seeds, and mix with mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, and foreign food.
Cut onions, carrots, and scallions into shreds. Chop into pieces. Mix bone broth, soy sauce, orange juice, black vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, wet starch, and evenly into a marinade. Put the duck eggs in a bowl and beat them up.
Set the wok over high heat, add cooked lard, heat until 50% hot, and cook the shrimp balls first.
Dip the flour evenly, then dip it evenly into the egg liquid, then roll the bread crumbs evenly, fry in the pan until golden in color, pour into a colander to drain off the oil, and put it into a plate. While frying the balls, take another pan and put it on the fire.
Grill the cooked lard on top and bottom, add minced garlic and all the shredded ingredients and stir-fry for a few times, then pour in
Boil the marinade to thicken it, add cooked lard and stir evenly, put it into a bowl, and serve it together with the oiled shrimp balls. When eating, sprinkle the gravy on the shrimp balls. This dish looks high-end and impressive.
Produce appetite. Each one is golden and has a layer of down on the outside, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"Youth Tour·Geely Shrimp"
Wash the prawns and cut their backs. Thread the tails through the prawn bodies and pull them into a raw shape. Marinate them with refined salt and spices, and a little Shaoxing wine. Cut the peppers, mushrooms, carrots, and green onions into shreds. Dip the shrimp balls into powder, deep-fry them, and dip them in egg liquid until golden brown.
This dish of shrimp balls is golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The gravy is colorful, bright and sweet, and is poured with the sauce when it is served. It is hot and refreshing, and full of interesting food. The cooks all praised it after tasting it.
The dishes for the wedding banquet were ready, and we had to prepare staple food for everyone. Lin Dadan and Gao Hongmei suggested that everyone use rice, and this time they would make dragon and phoenix fried rice.
The Geely shrimps have just been cooked, and the pot is still hot. Cold rice for fried rice is always available at Fat Heart Restaurant. I saw them spreading the rice and letting it cool, smashing all the eggs into the bowl, leaving part of the egg whites for later use, and beating the rest;
Shred the chicken breast; mix the shrimp with egg white and water starch to form a paste, then add an appropriate amount of salt, wash and dry the raisins. Place the wok on a high fire
, add pork oil and heat until it is 60% hot, pour in the shrimps and scatter them, take them out, and stir-fry the shredded chicken until cooked. Take another wok, add scallion oil, pour in the eggs, stir-fry and break into pieces, then add the rice.
Add refined salt, monosodium glutamate, and Shaoxing wine and stir-fry over low heat. After the rice is thoroughly fried, add shrimp, shredded chicken, and raisins, stir-fry evenly, and serve on small plates.
"Ba Liu Zi, Dragon and Phoenix Fried Rice"
Steam the rice, spread it out and let it cool. Crack the eggs and beat them up. Shred the chicken breast, mix the shrimps into the egg whites and make a paste.
Heat 60% oil in the wok, pour in the shrimps and stir-fry the shredded chicken until raw. Take another pot, stir-fry and break the eggs, add rice, salt, and Shaoxing wine. Stir-fry the cooked rice, shrimps, shredded chicken, and raisins, and mix well.
On the plate, the color is bright and the taste is smooth and fragrant.
The color on the plate is bright, the rice is shiny and soft, the shrimps, shredded chicken are fresh and tender, and the eggs and rice grains are perfectly blended together. Let’s not talk about the color, aroma, and taste. Let’s just talk about its name, Dragon and Phoenix Fried Rice, which means dragon and phoenix are auspicious and joyful.
, it sounds very suitable for wedding banquets. Zhu Tonjian immediately agreed to make it a staple food for wedding banquets.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, a government announcement came out and was posted on the streets of Pantan, commending Fat Heart Restaurant for its righteous deeds. It said that this move had won the hearts of those returning from the north for the yamen and was a way to share the worries of the court. With the Zhu family's propaganda, the crowd spontaneously
It is said from word of mouth that on the 15th day of the lunar month when the lanterns are being held, one can go up to the Shiyue Tower and watch.
The wedding banquet at noon attracted thousands of people to watch on Pantan Street. In the past, marriages were a matter for each family. There were also cases where two people from the same village got married on the same day, but the weddings were also held separately. I have never seen this happen.
Several pairs of sedan chairs were carried out from the same restaurant and sent to the same place.
"Which girl do you think will be the first to enter the house?" The spectators speculated one after another. In tradition, the first to enter the door is the most auspicious. Finally, when the groom appeared, everyone was wearing a red bamboo hat with a red cloth in front of them, so they couldn't recognize him.
Who is under the bamboo hat? Of the four people, sometimes this person is in front, and sometimes that person is in front alternately.
Entering, the crowd laughed, wondering how the bride would get on the sedan. The door of Fat Heart Restaurant finally opened, and an eight-carriage sedan was carried out, and four grooms circled around the sedan. It turned out that four
The bride sat in a large sedan chair together, and the sedan chair also moved forward in circles, making everyone laugh.
Only invited guests are eligible to participate in the wedding banquet, and the onlookers can only stare outside the door. However, the genius is dark, and the surprise comes. Time and time again, Shiyue Tower sends various kinds of food cut into small pieces into the Lantern Tower.
A small piece of food for everyone to try for free.
Finally the lights came on, and there was movement in the big guy covered with red cloth above the lamp. A man in a groom's uniform came in. After a while, there was a loud noise, a puff of white smoke rose into the air, and white things floated down from the sky.
.
"It's popcorn!" the children yelled and grabbed it frantically.
After a while, there was another loud bang from the popcorn machine, and four couples of brides and grooms appeared on the stage in bright red dresses. Two stoves were set up on the stage. What were they going to do? Everyone was talking about it. They saw them putting the pot on the stage.
Put the shovel into the pot and scoop out countless candies and snacks wrapped in paper.
After that, the pot was empty. Several people came up to light the fire and kept blowing fire sticks. Fires were lit in both stoves. Then there was another shocking blast. After the smoke cleared, Yang Shixin came on stage.
Announced: "I have been entrusted by my boss, Zhu Tonjian, to be the emcee of this cooking show."
After some humorous introductions, the four brides and grooms began to perform cooking performances. First, there were complicated knife skills, then flaming iron plates, and then, the finale, a noodle dance with a stick chicken as an instrument.
It hurts everyone's belly.
County Magistrate Chen was watching in casual clothes. After laughing, he straightened up, gasped and nodded slightly, saying: "It was extremely wonderful, but it just stopped suddenly at the climax, just like the sun suddenly falling at noon. It's a pity."
Just as Zhu Tojian was about to reply, he saw an old man lighting a fire stood up on the stage, took a fire stick and blew it into the air, and a string of large and small smoke rings appeared, with a flying white crane appearing in the middle.
After a while, the white cranes dispersed, and another stream of smoke came out of the fire stick.
The fog vaguely condensed into an old man on crutches, with white hair and white clothes, who looked like an immortal. The fire stick was still blowing smoke, dancing fairies, flying phoenixes, dragons circling the pillars, etc. After a while, everyone
Everything turned into smoke, and the stage was covered with white smoke.
Master, indeed master, this skill is unheard of, there is no arrangement, Zhu Tonjian hurried to the stage.
