I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 166

"Innate needs to know that all things have their own innate, just like people have their own beauty
The ingredients need to know the cook's ingredients, just like women's clothing and jewelry
When serving dishes, you need to know how to serve them, the salt ones should be served first, the light ones should be served last, the thick ones should be served first, and the thin ones should be served last.”

In Lao Guo's Land Rover car, Xiao Yueyue was driving, and Lao Guo and Mr. Yu were facing a new job; it had been more than a month since he had shown up at Deyushe. I have to sit in town for a few days in person, otherwise the audience will have opinions.

Acting in movies, shooting variety shows on TV, these are all outsiders after all, Lao Guo has never forgotten that he is still in the cross talk circle at all.

Zhou Dong was sitting on the co-pilot's seat in the front row, holding a copy of "Suiyuan Food List" in his hand, and was reading. He happened to read the "Notes" and nodded secretly while reading.Yuan Mei is a master who really understands and understands. He is definitely the overlord of foodies and the leader of old gluttons.

Facing this legendary owner of the new generation of Suiyuan, Zhou Dong also felt a little pressure. Reading "Suiyuan Food List" in advance is also to know oneself and the enemy.Now he is the 'Huaxia Face King', and his every move not only represents himself, but also represents Huaxia Bai's face.

Yi Zhiyu's words were still ringing in his ears yesterday, even Zhou Dong didn't expect that Mr. Yi actually made a big joke in Suiyuan back then.

After all, Yi Zhiyu has a special status and is a master of hard work, so he didn't have to wait in line back then, and Yuan Zidan's father gave him the special treatment of the 'Royal Chef' having a dinner alone.

How much face is this?Yi Zhiyu was also a little younger back then, and proudly invited friends and brought more than a dozen people to Suiyuan for this "honor banquet".

The Yuan family didn't say much, the reception was still the reception, they were polite, elegant and calm, and there was no shortage of melon seeds and tea, but when it came time to serve the dishes, they served four dishes and one soup.
The dozen or so guys who were preparing for the banquet were dumbfounded when they saw it. Yi Zhiyu's face was blue at that time, and he ran to ask the reason, but the Yuan family said that the extra banquet for him was this standard, and it was enough for two or three people. But who told you to bring so many people here?

It is impossible to add more dishes, and Yuan's family only provides rice for three people at most, no wine, but enough tea.How good tea can a banquet of his level have?It is top-notch jasmine tea, but this jasmine quenches thirst, so to rank among the teas, it is really something that comes with the tail.
From then on, Yi Zhiyu never mentioned Suiyuan. If Zhou Dong hadn't asked him to entrust him today, he wouldn't have brought up the embarrassing incident back then.

This also shows from the side how much Yi Zhiyu valued Zhou Dong. In order not to let Zhou Dong think that he was shirking when things happened, he even took the initiative to tell his embarrassing story back then.At the same time, Yi Zhiyu also had a little thought, the more he talked about Suiyuan's lofty background and how unreasonable the Yuan family was, the more curious young people like Zhou Dong would be, and even feel dissatisfied.

He really hoped that someone could destroy the prestige of the Yuan family!Suiyuan's diligence in the capital can be regarded as "running wild". It would be interesting if he was convinced by a young man's problem solving.

Xiao Yueyue drove the car to the dragon and the tiger, all the way to the capital at a speed of 120. After entering the Fifth Ring Road, the speed of the car began to slow down like a snail. Zhou Dong was a little anxious at first, but when they saw Lao Guo, they all looked calm and relaxed. , I have to admire the mindfulness of the people in the capital.

Sure enough, it can accommodate the speed of the Fifth Ring Road, and it is ridiculous to travel around the world.Seeing Xiao Yueyue opening his voice while being stuck in traffic, I guess that's how the song of the five rings came about?Sure enough, if there is a life, there will be a market, and only then can it be accepted by the broad masses of the people.

In recent years, the Deyun Society has developed rapidly, but the most valued by fans is the Tianqiao Headquarters, where Lao Guo and Mr. Yu have been sitting here all the year round; perhaps it is for the convenience of communication, or it may be because of these old Guo Nang In Zhongfengrun, Lao Guo’s Yizhuang villa has now become a place for relaxing and gathering with family and friends on weekends. In fact, he lives in a courtyard house located in Hou~hai all the year round.

When you come to Kyoto, you have to look for the Beijing flavor, but if you want to say that the place with the strongest Beijing flavor is the various alleys and courtyards that are not much in stock.Only when you fry noodles with miso sauce in this kind of yard, can you taste the authentic taste of jjajang noodles.

As soon as you go out, if you meet a man with a good eye, no matter whether you know him or not, you can greet him with a smile: "Have you eaten yet?"

Even if this man just came out of the public toilet across the street, you can greet him boldly, not only will he not be angry, but he will respond with a smile: "I've eaten you, why, didn't you have a drink today?"

If it was changed, Uncle Yu would shake the birdcage in his hand at this moment, and said with a smile: "People ate it, and the sparrows ate it too. Why don't you take it to eat? Listen to me, this yellow warbler. Is it right?"

"Yeah, I really don't have a choice! But I have to remind you, there is an old bird on the electric pole at the corner of Qianjie Street, you'd better go around and take your yellow warbler to the ditch later. It would be a pity to get dirty!"

"Hey, thank you."

This is the daily greeting in the old capital, showing affection, laziness, grandeur and festiveness.

Mr. Yu once said that we play in the capital, which is so true.

Playing also depends on the atmosphere and the environment. You carry a birdcage and dangle on the streets of Xiangjiang. People rushing all over the streets are all like race walkers. Can you feel like a player?If you get caught by the people from the Department of Health, you will be fined if you can't help it.

This means that every city has the appearance of another city, and each city has the breath of another city. The look of old Kyoto was raised by several generations of game masters. You don’t want to mention the atmosphere of the Eight Banners. Does this atmosphere support people?

After getting off the car and walking in the alleys of Houhai, Zhou Dong could feel the atmosphere of the capital rushing towards him.

What is Beijing gas?It’s referred to as grandpa air. The men here are polite and generous to everyone, but they have never caught anyone in the eye. There is a sense of arrogance in their bones. It doesn’t matter whether you are a foreigner or wearing a few pins on your head. Dai, all face the wanton ridicule calmly.

This may be a bit slick, but is it not the pride that the people of a big country should have?Anyway, this kind of feeling makes Zhou Dong very fresh. Compared with the emerging national economic metropolises, the old capital always has a different taste.

Lao Guo’s courtyard is not big, with two front and back courtyards, estimated to be about [-] square meters. There is a screen wall at the entrance, three rooms in the main room and three rooms in the south room, and guest rooms in the east and west, bypassing the moon gate at the west end of the south room. Son, I saw that the backyard had been transformed into a small garden.

There are big geese in the pool, which are not only good-looking, but also can be eaten at critical moments, and all of them have blurred eyes when they see Zhou Dong; beside the pool, there are corridors and gazebos several meters long, and a few willow trees are planted; I was digging for golden cicadas under the tree with a small shovel, looking at the dozens of dirt dug out, I guess I caught a lot.

Before Lao Guo greeted him, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, and he knew everyone well: "This is Brother Zhou, right? I'll have dinner later. There are few people today, just the five of us. I fried peanuts." , Weighed two catties of pork head meat, boiled edamame, and fried golden cicadas. The three of you should drink first.

Brother Zhou, you are a big man who works diligently, you don't think our house treats guests poorly, do you? "

Zhou Dong smiled: "No, I like to eat like this, so that I can be full."

"Haha, look at what you said, why are you not full?

However, these few appetizers look simple, and they are really the most classic; I have heard that your food and drink are simple when you are chefs, and you are the ones who eat more, so I specially prepared these appetizers and Shaoxing today. ~ Xing rice wine. "

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "When you are almost done drinking, come back and try my stewed noodles. Yueyue, help me make the noodles. If I can be praised by Huaxia Noodle King, I will be in Deyushe from now on. Go to a stall selling braised noodles!
Xiao Yueyue smiled and said, "Come on, Uncle Zhou, please wait a moment, we will start working together in a while."

Zhou Dong blushed: "I think you wait first, Yue Yue, the seniority is messed up, what is your name Uncle Zhou?"

"It's all right, brother Zhou, you are called my brother, so why don't he call you uncle?

I would like to take this opportunity to make an opinion. You call Lao Yu Brother, but you call me 'Teacher Guo'. Is this looking down on someone or bullying someone?In the future, you can call Guo Ge and Lao Guo, brother, you can weigh it. "

Zhou Dong was helpless by Guo Zhigang, nodded and said: "Fine, I will call you Brother Guo from now on." Unknowingly affected by the environment, he also has a taste of a Beijing movie.

"Haha, okay brother, sit down quickly, the three of us drink first, let the children and women go to work."

Guo Tinggang dragged Zhou Dong to sit down in the gazebo. It was already moonlight, the pool was clear and the geese were reflected in the fragrance. The scenery was not beautiful, but it was very down-to-earth.

There is no electric light in the gazebo, but two revolving lanterns are ingeniously lit. As soon as the oil and fire in the lamps are pressed, the paintings outside will change. It is Sanying Battle Lu Bu and Canopy Opera Chang'e.

Shaoxing rice wine is a serious old wine. Looking at the sticky hanging bowl, it is sweet and sweet. It is served with peanuts and pork head meat. It is really unique. Like peanuts, it goes best with wine.

With these few small dishes, it is really more drinkable than the Manchu Banquet. Unfortunately, the lack of fennel beans makes it impossible to appreciate the artistic conception of "more is not much".

After the dishes were finished, Xiao Yueyue took a brocade box and brought it over. Guo Zhigang handed it to Zhou Dong directly and said, "Brother, how about watching the 'movies' that brother prepared for you? Is it bright enough?"

The film is the predecessor of the business card, but the real "film" in the old age is much more complicated. In addition to the tedious production of the film itself, when encountering a serious visit, it must be put into a brocade box, and various snacks must be placed in the box. There are even things like gold and silver.

In previous years, when the subordinates visited the superiors, the amount of money in them was very particular.There are those prepared for the concierge, those prepared for the steward, and those prepared for the eldest wife, second wife, and third concubine, among other things, there are many exquisite organs just in the layered divisions in this brocade box. .

Zhou Dong opened the black lacquer brocade box, and saw that there was a nine-square grid on the top, and eight candied fruits such as peaches, apricots, plums, dates, wax gourds, ginger, plums, and hawthorns were placed in the eight grids beside them, but the middle grid was empty. of.

After asking Mr. Yu, I found out that if the host celebrates his birthday, a longevity peach should be placed in the middle grid; and when visiting the host, the middle grid should be empty. Number eight for auspiciousness.

Speaking of this nine-square grid, the bottom is the black cowhide film.It is said to be a film, but it is actually a folded film with a face and a back, made of high-quality cowhide, and the four corners are inlaid with brass. .

Open this brochure, on the back of Zuoyin is the words to visit the host, mostly polite and dignified words, on the back of Youyang is his own name, followed by the title, King of Huaxia Noodles, Chef of Kyushu Dingshi Zhou Dong and so on.

Zhou Dong frowned and said, "Brother Guo Yu, isn't this too ostentatious?"

"how could be?"

Teacher Yu said with a smile: "You are different from those diners who went to line up. You are making friends through cooking, and you have to solve the problem of Yuan's family. Of course, you have to show your identity. Otherwise, you think you can go to Yuan's house just because you are a chef." Pass the film, so that Mr. Yuan will not be exhausted?"

"Don't worry brother, you have to pass this kind of film to people like the Yuan family. You are neither humble nor overbearing, so that you can show the demeanor of the king of Chinese noodles. Yue Yue, arrange for someone to pass the film immediately, and it must be at eight o'clock in the evening If it is delayed, it will have to wait until tomorrow morning."

Guo Tinggang explained to Zhou Dong with a smile: "Actually, according to the rules, we should submit the film three days in advance, but the time waits for no one, so I can only ask Mr. Yuan to forgive me. Fortunately, there is a brother you face."

"I have such a big face?"

"That's right. Huaxia Mian Wang represents the Huaxia Bai'an lineage. If Mr. Yuan doesn't give you face, I'm afraid all the chefs working on Bai'an will be angry. How can he ignore his identity?"

Guo Chenggang smiled and said: "Come, come, let's eat after we have finished our cup of wine. The hot stewed noodles are here."

Deyu's shopkeeper's stewed noodles are well-deserved. Zhou Dong even ate two bowls without using the tasting skill. Guo's daughter-in-law smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

Zhou Dong stayed at Guo's house that night, and when he got up early the next morning, Xiao Yueyue came rushing over after eating breakfast accompanied by Guo Zhigang: "Master, Uncle Zhou, Suiyuan has an answer! Mr. Yuan said The business is closed for one day today, and we have to sweep the couch to welcome Huaxia Mianwang."

Sweep the couch?Zhou Dong's teeth ached when he heard this, but he knew that people like to talk about ancient times when he used this word, so this word should be interpreted according to the ancient meaning.

Guo Chenggang laughed loudly: "Brother, what did I say, you, the king of Chinese noodles, have enough face, right?

Let's go, let's go to Suiyuan and meet the legendary Mr. Yuan! "

Coincidentally, Sui Garden is also located in Dongcheng, between Shichahai and Ditan. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Zhou Dong would never have believed that there is a vast courtyard in this place where every inch of land is precious.

The pink and white walls, the yellow and orange glazed tiles, and the courtyard walls exude an old atmosphere; a branch of red apricot sticks out of the wall, teasing the beauty and attracting the spring breeze, revealing the romance in the bones.

There is a plaque but no couplet at the main entrance, and there are only two large characters on the plaque-'Suiyuan'.

Zhou Dong, Guo Tinggang, and Teacher Yu got out of the car. Just as they walked to the door, two doors creaked open. A young man in a blue Tang suit walked out of the door. He looked at the three of them with a smile, but gave Zhou Dong a slight smile. Arched hands: "My father has been waiting for Huaxia Mianwang for a long time, three please."

If he only looked at his demeanor, Zhou Dong thought he had traveled through time and space to ancient times.

Passing the screen wall and walking through the front yard full of green bamboos, there is the second gate in front of you, and you can see a pair of couplets in gilt characters hanging on the left and right sides of the gate.

The first couplet is, and refuse to seek national beauty in temples.

The second line is, only the soul is a wild fox!
But there is no horizontal batch.
