After everyone sat down at the dining table, dishes were served one after another.
These dishes are no better than those in the park restaurant. The dishes on the table can be described as full of color, flavor and taste.
However, there is no chili pepper in every dish, and they are basically steamed and boiled vegetables.
As soon as he sat down, Jia Wenmin smiled and began to adjust the atmosphere: "Yang Lei, you are in a good mood today. I guarantee you have never eaten this table of dishes."
I glanced at Li Yan, who was sitting silently, and felt a little nervous, but I quickly looked away and asked Jia Wenmin with a smile, "Really?"
"This is authentic Lijia cuisine. Even if you are in China, you can't eat Lijia cuisine if you want." Jia Wenmin said gushingly.
"Do you know what Li's cuisine is?"
I shook my head.
He smiled and said: "In the past, only the emperor could eat Li family cuisine."
I was a little dubious, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at me: "What? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"Li Family Cuisine originated from Li Zijia, the imperial cook during the Qing Dynasty. He was a descendant of Zhengbai Banner. He served as the governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Tongzhi and Guangxu years and was responsible for the food management of the palace."
"This Li Zijia was famous for personally tasting and preparing every dish for the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Emperor in the palace. He later passed on these precious palace recipes and cooking techniques to his son, and the skills of Li family cuisine were passed down from generation to generation. .”
"With the end of the Qing Dynasty, these dishes that were once only enjoyed by the royal family began to flow into the public, and Li family cuisine became a representative of a unique food culture."
Jia Wenmin said: "If you want to eat Li's food in China, you can only go to No. 11 Sheep House, Hutong, Beijing, and you have to make a reservation in advance. The people who go to eat there are basically foreign heads of state and the like. Big shot..."
"Okay." Hu Laosan said with a smile, "If you keep talking, how will you ask Yang Lei to eat later?"
Jia Wenmin grinned and said, "Third brother, aren't I giving him some popular science, lest he think this meal is ordinary?"
To be honest, I was really frightened when he said that.
Growing up, the most expensive meal I ever had outside was an eighty-eight-yuan seafood buffet.
As for those high-end restaurants, I have basically never been to them.
Ever since I met Hu Laosan, I knew that he was a hedonist, but I didn't expect that he would even be so particular about eating.
No idea where he got the chef from.
Hu Laosan was the first to move his chopsticks. After he did, Jia Wenmin motioned for me to try it quickly.
I took a piece of steamed meat and put it in my mouth. It tasted really good, but it wasn't as good as Jia Wenmin said.
"How?" he asked me.
I smiled and said, "It's quite fresh. Did it add a lot of MSG?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Jia Wenmin burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Yang Lei, you are so damn interesting!"
I was a little confused and thought to myself, are what I said funny?
Seeing that Hu Laosan couldn't help laughing, I became even more depressed.
"None of the dishes on this table has MSG added," Jia Wenmin said.
I didn't believe it, so he asked me: "Do you know which country invented MSG?"
I frowned slightly, feeling a little unsure, and finally shook my head: "I don't know."
"It's Japan." Jia Wenmin said with a smile, "You didn't expect it, right? MSG was invented by the Japanese Ajinomoto Company in the early 20th century, and it also applied for a patent."
"It turns out that the Japanese use far less MSG than we do. Do you think this is funny?"
I couldn't help but ask: "Then these dishes don't contain MSG, why are they so fresh?"
"This is the wisdom of our ancestors. The ancients used boiled broth to season their dishes. The broth is far more delicious than MSG. However, the cost of seasoning this broth was too high. In ancient times, only high-ranking officials had this option. kind of treatment."
I have gained a lot of experience, and there is something strange in my heart.
I have always felt that I can now be considered on an equal footing with Jia Wenmin and Dog King, but now it seems that I still lack too much.
Apart from anything else, I can't compare to them in terms of knowledge.
"When it comes to eating, I don't think anyone can compare to my big brother." Hu Laosan put down his chopsticks and lit a cigarette.
Jia Wenmin answered: "That's for sure. Who is the third brother's eldest brother?"
I was a little surprised. I didn't expect Hu Laosan to have an eldest brother?
Seemingly sensing my doubts, Jia Wenmin said: "Yang Lei, do you know who the third brother's eldest brother is?"
I shook my head.
"Have you heard of Lai Changxing?"
I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.
"When our third brother was in China, he often went to the Red Mansion and ate and drank with Boss Lai."
"Boss Lai is..."
"Holy crap, you guys have never even heard of Boss Lai?" Jia Wenmin looked at me in surprise.
Hu Laosan waved his hand: "Don't embarrass Yang Lei. He used to be a common man, so he definitely didn't know about Brother Lai."
"Third brother, since he doesn't know me, I have to talk to him properly." Jia Wenmin said happily.
After listening to what he said about Lai Changxing and Red Mansion, I was a little dumbfounded.
What surprised me even more was that Hu Laosan actually followed such a person back then.
No wonder this guy is now thriving in northern Myanmar.
Just as the conversation was getting heated, Li Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly put down her chopsticks: "I'm full and have nothing to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave. At this moment, Hu Laosan grabbed her arm and pulled her back: "Brothers are all eating, why are you so disappointed?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and my brows jumped involuntarily.
Li Yan was dragged to a seat by Hu Laosan, looking a little unhappy.
Hu Laosan picked up the wine glass on the table: "Yang Lei, come on, let's have a drink."
I quickly picked up the wine glass, stood up, and lowered my posture to the lowest level: "Third brother, I respect you."
After drinking a glass of wine, Hu Laosan placed the wine glass heavily on the table: "Thank you for your hard work during my absence. When I just came back yesterday, I heard some people gossiping and saying something about me. thing……"
Having said this, he looked up at me and then at Li Yan: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Jia Wenmin winked at me, and just as I was about to speak, Li Yan was one step ahead of me. She sneered and said, "What's there to say? Do you really think I'll get together with Yang Lei?"
I didn't expect her to be so direct, and I couldn't help but swallow for a while.
