Chapter 123, History of Jinling Cuisine

"Dad, don't tell me, Brother Hu and us are really destined. Brother Hu can be regarded as an authentic eater. Even Jinling people can eat not much of our signature pork head meat, but Brother Hu just now You can eat it as soon as you eat it." Shao Jie introduced the content of talking about food with Hu Wenjun when Shao Wen was away just now.

"Hey, Xiao Hu, it's pig's head meat." There are not many whole pig's heads marinated and then sliced ​​to make cold dishes. Even now, there are very few big restaurants that put this kind of dish on the table as cold dishes for dinner. Shao Wen was also quite surprised that Hu Wenjun was able to hit it with one bite.

"Hehe, it's more than just pork head meat. From the pot of tofu soup cooked in the wild today, to the cold and hot dishes now, although you have made a lot of improvements, these dishes still retain the style of Jinling's local dishes. From these I can see that you are not only an excellent chef, but also an out-and-out master of Jinling cuisine." Hu Wenjun shook his head and said.

(If Didi's noble system can talk to Hu Wenjun here, the system will definitely question Hu Wenjun loudly: "Shao Wen who is riding a horse is a master of Jinling cuisine and you came out of the dishes? Do you dare to try again?")
After Hu Wenjun finished his speech, both Lao Shao and Xiao Shao opened their mouths slightly. After sitting there for a few seconds, the two looked at each other, and then it was Lao Shao who spoke first: "Xiao Hu, are you blind or not?" Did you really guess it?"

"You're underestimating me with your words. Of course I ate your food. I still have some research on Jinling cuisine." Hu Wenjun immediately retorted.

"Then it seems that Xiao Hu has a real destiny with us. In the future, if we need our Jinling Hotel, we can use our Shao's. You can just ask. Our Shao's and Jinling Hotel will definitely do our best."

"Hey, old Shao, does that mean you will help me when I need it for a while?" Old Shao has already talked about this, so why does Hu Wenjun not speak?

Shao Wen slapped his thigh directly and said, "Tell me, what's the matter!"

"It's really a coincidence. I have a friend who wants to enter the catering industry. After a while, there will be a cooking competition. My friend must win, but he must be able to cook a few Jinling dishes. It just so happens that you know Jinling dishes, old Shao. Would you please go out of the mountain and help my friend fight in the ring?"

"Ha, now my old Shao likes to compete with people in cooking. Come on, tell me when, where, who will participate in the competition, and is there any media? My old Shao has to prepare well." Shao Wen put his hands on his knees and listened carefully.It can be seen that Shao Wen is very interested in cooking competitions.

"Don't worry, Lao Shao, the competition is still a month away, and the competition location is not far away. We are in Jinling, and several local time-honored brands in Jinling will participate..."

"Wait, what are you talking about? The venue of the competition is Jinling, and several time-honored brands in Jinling will participate?" Before Hu Wenjun finished his introduction, Lao Shao interrupted him directly.

"That's right, as far as I know, many restaurants including Shuangguifang, Chunguifang, Canal Hotel, Tianning Hotel, the four Jinling time-honored brands, and some catering groups in Lin Province and Lin City will come to participate. What's the problem?"

"You mean the Qian family from Shuangguifang in Jinling, the Sun family from Chunguifang, the Li family from Canal Hotel and the Wu family from Tianning Hotel will all participate this time?" Shao Wen suddenly changed his previous smiling face , Shen Sheng confirmed to Hu Wenjun again.

"Hey, you are indeed a master in the culinary world. Lao Shao, do you know the successors of several time-honored brands in Jinling?"

"Hmph, it's not just acquaintance, our Shao family should be very familiar with these families. I'm sorry, Xiao Hu. I can't help you with this, and our Shao family can't help you either." Old Shao suddenly changed the subject.

"Dad, did you make a mistake? Isn't it just a competition. What's wrong with cooking for Brother Hu for a few days?" Shao Jie was also very surprised by the sudden change in old Shao's attitude.

"Xiaojie, you don't know. Our Shao family has a family rule. There are no special circumstances. We don't go back to Jinling to cook a dish or cook a meal. We don't compete with those time-honored Jinling brands."

"Then what special circumstances do you have to go to Jinling for the competition?" Shao Jie asked.

"The rules left by our ancestors, unless the old Jinling brands mentioned just now are gone, and the status of Jinling's local cuisine is not guaranteed, our Shao family can return to Jinling to cook and open restaurants." Shao Wen said slowly.

Hu Wenjun is a smart man. Lao Shao kept talking about the time-honored brands in Jinling and the principals of those time-honored brands, so he guessed that there must be a connection, so Hu Wenjun half-jokingly tried to say: "Why, Lao Shao, is it possible that your Shao family still has festivals with these time-honored brands in Jinling?"

"It's not just for the holidays, Xiao Hu, have you ever thought about why I went to Nandu to open a restaurant when I was cooking Jinling cuisine, and why I was so secretive about my Jinling cuisine style?" Shao Wen said, taking a sip of rice wine. .

"Oh, I don't know the world of your culinary world. But it should be very exciting, the waiter, serve a plate of fruit, and cut a few slices of watermelon." Hu Wenjun didn't look outside at all, but continued to inquire curiously.

"All of us in Jiangnan Province know that Jinling people are willing to eat, know how to eat, and the catering is well-developed. Then Xiao Hu, do you know why Jinling's catering is so developed?"

"Hehe, you can't trouble me with this. Although our Jinling is only a prefecture-level city, Jinling has built a city since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. So from the perspective of culinary history, Jinling's food culture is more Many places in the country are early. Those in the middle can be skipped, let’s just talk about the rapid development periods of Jinling’s food culture.”

"Just this Jinling cuisine... and the origin and rapid development period? Are you bragging? Why don't I know." Even Shao Jie was a little confused at this moment.

"Go, go, you Hu Ge are right, it is indeed two periods of rapid development. You usually study medicine with books, and you don't learn or ask about the cooking skills and history of the old Shao family, so naturally you don't know. "Old Shao signaled Shao Jie not to interrupt randomly.

"This is the first booming period, it must be the Song Dynasty. In this era, Jinling has many scholars, champions, and literati. The most famous one should be Su Dongpo. Su University scholars are foodies themselves, and in Jinling I stayed for a long time. He described the delicious food in and around Jinling, and there are even dishes named after him. Flourishing period - the Qing Dynasty."

"This is a jump from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty." Shao Jie listened as if he was listening to a book.

"That's right, the second booming period was the Qing Dynasty, and it could be specific to one emperor, that was the period of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, during this period, quite a lot of Jinling dishes entered the imperial dining room of Bauhinia City , and spread to many cities. Quite a lot of delicacies were recognized by Emperor Qianlong, and some even wrote inscriptions in person. For example, Jinling hemp cake, Jinling Huangtian crab, etc. The leaders of this country have agreed, and the publicity effect You also understand..."

"Haha, good you little Hu, keep talking. Lao Liu, make us a pot of tea, and bring us some peanuts and melon seeds." This is the first time Lao Shao met a person who is not a chef and knows so much about cooking. , It is very happy to talk.Shao Wen seems to have met a confidant and is going to have a long talk all night...
