"Hey, make me a plate of nine-turn large intestine."
After Ye Xiuwen entered the courtyard where the kitchen was located, he ordered loudly.
The Japs wearing common people's clothes near the kitchen looked at Dragon Boat Festival in surprise, thinking: You are quite demanding for a foreigner, you actually want the Nine-turn Large Intestine.
But what the hell is the Nine Turns Large Intestine?
The little devil had never eaten the nine-turn large intestine, so he left quickly and went to report to their superior. He said that the officers of the Fourth Division wanted to eat the nine-turn large intestine. He didn't know what it was, but he felt that he should report it to his superior.
And this is also what the Japanese officer of the 14th Division explained.
To be on the safe side, the Japanese officer ordered the Japanese soldiers to report to him any abnormality discovered. So the Japanese soldiers came.
The Japanese officer thought for a while and decided to go take a look. But he saw that a pig was being killed in the kitchen. And Duanwu was sitting on a square chair surrounded by long stools, as if waiting for his nine-turn large intestine.
The Japanese officer thought for a moment, then walked over and asked Duanwu, "Do you want to eat the nine-turn large intestine?"
Duanwu nodded, but didn't say anything.
But the more this happened, the more curious the little Japanese officer became: "Hey, what is the Nine-turn Large Intestine?"
Duanwu knocked on the table to signal the Japanese officer to sit down, and then said:
"This nine-turn large intestine is one of China's delicacies. It is said that it was created two hundred years ago.
This nine-turn large intestine comes from the once famous Jiuhualin Restaurant.
At that time, "Jiuhualou", "Qingyu Pharmacy", "Tongyuanlou Restaurant" and "Yuanxingzhai Sauce Garden" were known as the four famous stores in Houzaimen Street.
Boss Du, the owner of Jiuhualin Restaurant, hired a group of famous chefs and was very good at catering operations. He especially studied the cooking methods of pig offal and produced many delicious banquet dishes, among which braised large intestine is a model.
Initially, the braised large intestine used the sausage-in-intestine method. The whole large intestine was wrapped layer by layer, cooked with spices to make it tough, then removed and cut, then braised with a variety of seasonings. Later, the production method was improved, first blanching, then boiling, and then frying.
Cook it again, take it out with a spoon and put it into the pot and repeat it several times until it is cooked. The cooked large intestine is red in color and has all five flavors, which has won the praise of all diners.
Once, Boss Du from Jiuhualin entertained guests, and the guests were all local gentlemen. After everyone ate the braised large intestine, they all praised it for being sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, and there was a lot of discussion.
One of them, in order to show his talent, catered to his master's preference for "nine" and took the name of the chef's complicated and delicate cooking skills, so he immediately changed the name of braised large intestine to nine-turn large intestine.
He explained: "Nine" is an auspicious number. From the emperor's relatives to the common people, "nine" is liked by "nine". In Taoist alchemy, there is the "Nine Turns Golden Pill", which can bring people back to life. Today's dish is a delicacy.
It's delicious, like taking "Nine Turns Golden Elixir", and it's named after "Nine Turns Large Intestine", wouldn't it be wonderful?
After everyone heard this, they were all amazed.
Since then, Jiuhualin Restaurant’s signature dish, the Nine-turn Large Intestine, has gained a good reputation and spread to all parts of Shandong. Hahaha!”
"Shao Kar!"
After hearing this, the Japanese officer's eyes shone. He had indeed never eaten such delicacies.
The Japanese officer immediately said: "Then let them do more."
Duanwu waved his hands and said: "That's impossible. This pig only has one large intestine. That's not the meat on its body. After it's cooked, it won't even weigh a pound."
"There are so few."
The Japanese officer became more and more looking forward to it, and then he discussed with Duan Wu: "You give him to me, and I will exchange my military tickets for you."
Duanwu waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, I must eat this nine-turn large intestine today."
However, at this moment, Zhang Qing ran over and asked: "Imperial Army, the large intestine has been taken out. Do you want to eat the original one or the clean one?"
Duanwu immediately said: "I want to eat the original flavor. Only in this way can the original flavor of the large intestine be maintained. You must not destroy the original flavor of the large intestine for me."
"Yes, Imperial Army!"
After Zhang Qing answered, he went back to processing the large intestine.
At this time, the Japanese officer asked curiously: "What is the original flavor? What is the pure flavor?"
Duanwu explained: "The original taste is to retain the original taste of the large intestine. But the clean taste has no taste. All you can taste is the taste of caramel and salt, which is the inferior taste of the nine-turn large intestine.
Just like Westerners eating steak, if you order a well-done steak in a Western restaurant, people will laugh at you."
The Japanese officer nodded repeatedly, he completely understood.
But at the same time, he wanted to taste this traditional Chinese delicacy - nine-turn large intestine.
He stood up and said to Duanwu with a smile: "I'm sorry, it was our 14th Division that was negligent. Please, please..."
In fact, the Japanese officer still doesn't know Dragon Boat Festival's name. But this does not affect his performance.
He smiled and continued: "Invite this colleague to the room to have a meal. It is so dusty, how can it be suitable for dining!"
Duan Wu didn't buy it and said, "I won't leave here. If my Nine-turn Large Intestine doesn't appear, I won't leave."
But at this moment, the Japs officer waved his hand, and several Japs drove him, Lao Shen and others into a nearby house on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu struggled to protest, but obviously his protest was ineffective.
Once inside the house, Lao Shen said with a smile: "Brother Duanwu, you are so awesome, you can actually trick the Japanese into eating pig poop."
Duanwu said modestly: "It's nothing. The little devil has never seen anything or eaten anything. He is very easy to deceive."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
Of course, tricking the Japanese officer into eating the nine-turn large intestine during the Dragon Boat Festival was not just a matter of idleness. It was because he had to distract the little Japanese officer.
Just imagine, he came to Gangcheng Village. Although he came in as a Jaap, the little Jaap had no doubts. But how could the little Jaap officers, especially the three majors, not pay attention to him?
Once the little devil pays attention to him, he will also pay attention to Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing and others.
This is not detrimental to the actions of Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing and others.
So during the Dragon Boat Festival, they used the Nine-Turn Large Intestine to divert the little devil's attention, and at the same time treat the little devil to some rice fields.
At the same time, the little devil was indeed just as Duanwu thought, he was only waiting for Zhang Qing and others' Nine Revolutions.
Zhang Qing's ancestral home is Shandong, and the Nine-turn Large Intestine is a famous dish in Shandong, and he is quite good at it.
Of course, it's just that it's not very clean when I wash it. It's OK if I just wash it a little and can't see the big chunks of rice fields.
Blanch the large intestine and cut it into sections. Heat the pan with cold oil, add rock sugar, and simmer until the color of the soup comes out. Add the large intestine, add onions, ginger, and garlic and simmer until the soup has soaked into the large intestine. Arrange on a plate and garnish with chopped green onions.
.A plate of smelly nine-turn large intestine is ready!
