The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Bai Yutang was walking on the street carrying five carps strung together with willow twigs. His beautiful appearance attracted the little ladies on the side of the road to peek at them.

Bai Yutang was here to gather folk songs, and Yun Yan couldn't come because he had something to do, so he went alone.

After a scapegoat was pinned on Yun Yan's head last time, Zhan Zhao was easy to talk to, and although he didn't force them to change their names, he couldn't help looking at Yun Yan's head with condemnation from time to time.

—— Zhan Zhao really didn't doubt it, in fact, he had always suspected that the name Qi Mao was recalled by Yun Yan.Back then, Liu Mao's clothes were exactly the same as his, so it was doubtful, okay?

After the incident, Yunyan yelled at Bai Yutang many times, asking him if he knew what it was like to be stared at severely by Zhan Zhao, as if he had committed a crime.

Bai Yutang said: I know, how could I not know?

However, just like Zhan Zhao didn't force them to change the name even though he thought it was a bad name, Yun Yan reprimanded Bai Yutang and continued to cooperate with him...

"Bai Yu works as a horse for the cat" has become more and more famous. He is famous for his high taste and sharp tongue, coupled with his vivid writing.

Soon, some stores came to the door, hoping to sponsor.

However, neither Bai Yutang nor Yun Yanhui plans to accept commercials at this stage, and the status of this vest is not yet stable.They will look for stores to be reviewed based on folk reviews.

Although those stores that were interested in sponsoring were rejected, they also spread the word that "Bai Yu is a horse for the cat" to come and taste it.It's just that no one knows who is under the vest of "Bai Yu as a horse for the cat", or even how many people are there.

This time, Yunyan heard about the shop. Recently, there has been a restaurant in Beijing. It is opened by foreigners. For fish, guests are asked to bring their own fish, no matter what kind of fish they bring, they can cook it well.

It is said that some people also brought rare sea fish, which was also cooked into delicious food.

The fish in Bai Yutang's hands were five hehua fishes obtained from Daxiangguo Temple, all of which were only the size of a palm.

At this time, it was almost time to eat, and there were quite a few people in the first place, all of whom came here just because of the name.

After Bai Yutang entered, a waiter came to receive the fish, took the fish from Bai Yutang's hand, weighed it on the spot, and then loudly and loudly announced: "Five pieces of love fish for the guests, four taels of money, four taels of money..."

The worker reported the net weight and freshness of each fish before taking it to the back kitchen.

Many customers are very interested in such a process and are very concerned about their fish.

After Bai Yutang took his seat, he heard two people beside him discussing.

"...The last time I came here, I saw someone took a puffer fish, and that person wanted to say that he wanted to eat raw fish, but was pushed back by the staff, saying that they had collected ingredients here, and how to do it was up to the cook."

"Hey, do you guarantee that it will be the best?"

"Guaranteed! People will tell you one, two, three, and there are reasons."

Bai Yutang also knew this rule, he glanced around the shop to observe the food in front of everyone.

At this time, the person next to him said:

"I heard that the owner of Yixian asked people everywhere to invite the 'white jade cat' over. They also sent out a message. They can get at least seven cats!"

"Tsk, his store has only been open for a few months, so there are so many white jade cats in the old store that they want to invite them. How many stores are there in Beijing now with more than five cats?"

Bai Yutang: "??"

Bai Yutang took a deep breath, and turned his head to talk: "Brothers, I'm sorry, I heard you say 'white jade cat', what is this 'white jade cat'...?"

The two looked at each other, because Bai Yutang's appearance was outstanding, so they were willing to answer the conversation.

"Don't you read "Tokyo Daily"? It's a well-known reviewer there, who specializes in writing reviews of restaurants and restaurants in Beijing. Nowadays, in Beijing, I don't know how many restaurants can't ask for three cats."

"That's right, this person uses cats to rate, and if there are more than three cats, it's worth a try."

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, "I know this, but isn't he called 'Bai Yu is a horse for Tang Mao'? Why do you call him 'Bai Yu Mao'?"

"It's too long for Baiyu to be a horse for Tangmao! Generally, everyone calls it Baiyumao."

"Speaking of this, I think this Baiyu cat is really a wonderful person. The meaning of Baiyu being a cat's horse must be that he loves cats very much. He fantasizes that he can have such a big cat as a companion, or he can become a small person and snuggle with him. On the cat."

Bai Yutang: &*%￥#@

What is the abbreviation of White Jade Cat, and what are those strange fantasies?Why force these things out of his pseudonym?

This completely deviated from Bai Yutang's original intention and made him very angry.

"Baiyu is a cat and a horse for Tang Mao" originally used to describe calling a stinky cat a cow and a horse, but they called it Baiyumao for short, but it seemed that Bai Yutang was also a cat or something.

He also said that he likes cats very much, which is why he named it like this.

The two men saw Bai Yutang's thick eyebrows frowned, and unconsciously became weak, "Brother, did we say something wrong?"

Naturally, Bai Yutang wouldn't be so stupid, telling his true assumptions, wouldn't that expose his identity, so he just shook his head with a cold face, and then sat upright.

Seeing him suddenly rejecting people thousands of miles away, the two of them had no choice but to turn their heads in a daze, thinking where did this young master come from, looking so difficult to serve.Fortunately, they are not this person's family members, so don't worry about them.

Bai Yutang waited for a quarter of an hour, and the waiter brought up his Pan-fried Hehuayu on a plate, and then raised his voice, "Here comes the Pan-fried Hehuayu! Please look, sir, the Hehuayu is crispy and delicious, and it's delicious." It's the best way to eat."

The hehua fish was fried on both sides until golden brown, dotted with ingredients, and a strong aroma rushed to the face.

Everyone in Beijing knows that the heat is very important to fry Hehua fish well.For experienced cooks, after frying the Hehua fish, don't do anything with it, it will be very delicious if eaten directly.

Bai Yutang picked up a hemp fish and took a bite.

As far as the temperature is concerned, it is indeed in place.But after Bai Yutang tasted it, he pawed it twice with his chopsticks, and then put it down, with some mockery on his face.

The two people next to him saw that inexplicable young master waited for the dish, took only one mouthful, put down his chopsticks, got up, repented and left!

"How did he leave?"

"The price of Hehuayu has been so high recently, so it's not too late for him to buy it, so he left? Is there something wrong with this dish?"

Hearing what they said, the man hurriedly said: "You two, maybe there is something urgent, there is absolutely no problem with our food!"

Afraid of spreading rumors and ruining the restaurant's reputation, he even pushed the dish over and asked them to try it, but Bai Yutang only ate one bite anyway.

Those two people really took a piece of fish and ate it. After eating, their eyes lit up, "It really is an authentic Hehua fish!"

"Fragrant and crispy, even the fish bones are crispy but not burnt, good, good!"

It seems that there is really something urgent for that young master, what a pity for this plate of delicious food.

The people present just thought about it and didn't take it seriously.

……

Two days later, the "Tokyo Daily" published Bai Yu's latest comment on being a cat's horse - the first fresh product!

No. [-] Fresh is a restaurant that is really booming in Tokyo recently. Many people know it, but they didn't expect that Bai Yu would denounce No. [-] Fresh as "sensational" at the beginning of the article.

Then, Bai Yu was a horse for Tangmao and said that he went to the shop, observed the dishes of the people in the shop, and brought hehua fish to cook.

What First Fresh boasts is their deep knowledge of all kinds of fish, which can be presented in the most beautiful and perfect way.This Hehua fish is a famous product in Bianjing. Everyone knows how to eat it. Pan-fried and steamed fish are very good. It is a "traditional" way of eating that Daxiangguo Temple has advocated since the beginning.

The chef of Yixian chose Pan-fried. There is nothing wrong with it. When pan-fried and steamed are both delicious, the taste of pan-fried is more intense, overbearing and impressive.

However, Bai Yutang didn't think that the first fresh chef was as good as they boasted. At least, when faced with Bianjing's famous products, this foreign cook didn't even have a deep understanding of the ingredients.

There are fine scales on the body of the Hehua fish, which do not need to be removed. After being fried, it has a special flavor.There is no need to cut open to remove all internal organs, just use an iron ring to scoop out the fish gallbladder.

However, the cook cut open the hehua fish and cleaned all the internal organs. He thought he was doing it right, but in fact it was superfluous.Craftsmanship is possible, but it is definitely not what it says. It can make the best of every kind of fish, but it is just a sign to attract customers.

Many times, customers can't tell whether the fish tastes the best or the cook cooks the best.Even, it is impossible to tell whether some remarks are echoing others.

Therefore, not to mention other dishes, this one alone is enough to prove his mentality.

Then, Bai Yu made another argument for Tangmao, the best is the heat, and apart from the heat, not only the way of handling it is wrong, the production is not very good, and the ingredients are not the best.It can be seen that the cook is definitely not trying to find the best way to eat each ingredient.Or he looked for it and just failed.

Once it was approved severely, many people who originally wanted to try it were discouraged.

It turned out to be grandstanding!

After the first fresh owner heard the news, his teeth itch with hatred.They thought that Baiyu's cooking for Tangmao was good, but they didn't want him to criticize it!Moreover, the boss was very resentful, thinking that Bai Yu's being a cat's horse was a thorn in his side, if he showed the chariot and horse, the first fresh cook would be able to present his special dishes, and he would never complain about it.

However, this person came secretly and brought some hehua fish.

At this time, the guy who received Bai Yutang that day came out and said, "Boss, some people brought hehua fish in the past few days, but only one person didn't eat all of them. He only took a few mouthfuls and left. This person, Could it be a white jade cat?"

The owner's eyes lit up, "What?"

It was written in the newspaper that the white jade cat claimed to leave before finishing eating, and the buddy said that he had seen this person leave before finishing eating the hehua fish, so who else could this person be if not the white jade cat?

The owner asked him: "If you were to see this white jade cat again, would you still recognize it?"

The buddy nodded, "I can recognize it!" The white jade cat was born extremely well, and the buddy would remember it firmly when he saw it, and if he saw it again, he would definitely recognize it.

"That's good, order a few guys, and go with me to watch outside the editorial office of "Tokyo Daily." The owner slapped the table, "Our No. [-] Fresh business has been greatly affected, so we have to invite him to taste Yipin Huang." The master's good dishes can only be redeemed!"

This white jade cat is writing for the "Tokyo Daily", so he will definitely go to the editorial department to deliver the manuscript. Since someone has seen him, it's easy to handle. Squat outside and wait for him.

"But what if he refuses to come?"

The boss narrowed his eyes, "That's why I have to bring more people, if you don't come, don't blame me for forcing 'invitation'!"

As a literati, can he stand up to their violence?
