my lord, please eat

There is an old saying in China that goes, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground". Gong Xiaoyong still doesn't know how delicious Feilong meat is, but he loves donkey meat very much.

When they were young, their family didn't live in a villa.Although Grandpa's restaurant was still there at that time, and the family was considered rich, they still lived in a courtyard.According to his grandfather's words, this place is the root, his great-grandfather lived here, and he also lived here, and there is a feeling of reluctance.On the street opposite Dazayuaner, there is a shop specializing in cooked donkey meat.Gong Xiaoyong likes it the most. Every time grandpa and dad buy donkey tendon from that shop, they both take it to drink, and he stuffs a piece into his mouth to chew for a long time, swallows it and then "takes it secretly" .

It was a memory of family harmony when I was a child.Even if I can’t remember the taste of the donkey’s tendons made by that family for a long time, I still know that it is definitely not as delicious as the donkey meat dishes made by my grandfather.But thinking about it now, the sense of anticipation from childhood is still fresh in my memory.

After talking about the past with their prince, the princess finally sighed: "Do you think I am too unfilial? After I came here, I never thought about going back. In fact, I can't say that I never thought about it." Well, I just know I can’t go back. I’ve even attached such a cheat, how can I be so arrogant when I come and go freely.”

Xing Yihong smiled and said, "It is enough for me to know who you are."

Gong Xiaoyong slapped it a bit, although the words were very touching, but no matter how you think about it, you still feel a little depressed. "This feeling, it's still a bit lonely! According to those TV dramas, it's the feeling that if you don't want me one day, I will no longer be me. Don't interrupt! I'm just narrating the lines, You have no chance of not wanting me! You have to know that my second brother-in-law is the emperor!"

"Pfft!" Originally, he wanted to comfort his little princess, but this last sentence immediately amused her. "You little thing, you always speak in half. I don't know whether to comfort you or repair you!"

The princess looked awkwardly: "You don't understand this! The last thing people like me suffer from is depression, why don't you see it!"

The prince smiled and said, "But it's easy to get gluttony."

Xiao Yongzi curled her lips: "Is there a problem? Food is the most important thing for the people, do you know the truth? Hurry up, tonight I have to taste how delicious this whole donkey banquet in Lu's collection is. Foodie Lord, remember!"

Lujiaji is a small county town, but judging from the flow of people and shops in the market, it is a bit small, but it is still quite lively.

First, I found an inn to store the carriage.Gong Xiaoyong looked around on the street and asked, "There are so many restaurants selling donkey meat? Do you know which one is good?"

The prince pointed with his finger: "The two-story Baiweixian over there, I had a donkey feast there once."

Xiao Yongzi asked outside: "Did you order a whole donkey feast by yourself??? Or did you eat with others?"

Xing Yihong replied: "The donkey banquet in their family is a little different. It's like your buffet. But it's not a fixed amount of money. You can spend as much as you order."

This aroused Gong Xiaoyong's interest: "Is there another store like this? The owner of this store is quite smart! The way of doing business is really thoughtful!"

The two walked quickly to the door of Baiweixian's store.Looking inside, there are really many people.Stepping in, the shop waiter hurried up to greet him. "The two guest officials invite you! Do you want to dine on the first floor, or in the private room upstairs?"

Gong Xiaoyong hurriedly answered: "The first floor is fine!" He saw that big window!Although it reminded him of the school cafeteria, maybe seeing the food being delivered was quite interesting in this ancient setting.

Xing Yihong could only nod his head. In fact, he never thought about going upstairs.

Next to the large window were two iron shelves holding large dishes.There are more than [-] plates on it.There are all kinds of things on it, one shelf for cold dishes and one shelf for hot dishes. It is clear at a glance what kind of dishes are inside, and in order to prevent dust, the top is covered with transparent gauze, which looks really regular.

Serving dishes, weighing, keeping accounts.Everyone is only responsible for their own work, which really makes people feel safe and hygienic.

Gong Xiaoyong wanted to try everything, so he didn't want much for each dish.

For a foreigner like him who wants to know how to cook, the restaurant can receive a lot of them every day, so no one thinks it is strange.In fact, the store’s business model was the most traditional one at the beginning, but gradually the Donkey Banquet became famous, and more people came here because they wanted to try it but couldn’t eat so much, so it evolved into what it is today. look like.So for the guests who come to taste for the first time, they also specially prepared small plates and small bowls.

Looking at more than 20 plates and bowls on the table, there are two drawers of dumplings stuffed with donkey meat.He thinks this mini whole donkey banquet is really awesome. "The shopkeeper is so considerate! This way you can eat what you want without wasting any money!" Putting the most familiar donkey tendon into his mouth, he immediately narrowed his eyes. "It's a nostalgic feeling. The taste is really great! It's elastic and chewy, but it's not hard to bite. It's better than what I can do! The key is that the taste is moderately salty, and the five flavors don't overwhelm the gluten itself. The aroma is completely covered, it is so delicious! I will buy ten catties and take it back soon!"

Xing Yihong smiled and put another piece of donkey intestines into his daughter-in-law's bowl: "Try this. It's also very chewy. Speaking of which, this is the first place I ate animal offal. I used to eat it at home. At that time, none of the cooks would make these things for us to eat."

The donkey intestines are marinated. There is a bit of spicy taste in it, but it doesn't feel like chili if you taste it carefully.I didn't see any other ingredients on the plate up, down, left, and right. It seems that this is someone's secret recipe.In short, he was very satisfied with the taste! "Tell me, if I like everything very much, wouldn't it be too much to add ten catties to each?"

The prince laughed loudly: "What's the matter. Buyers and sellers would think that they sold too little! Xiaoer."

Before Gong Xiaoyong could stop her, their prince called the waiter from the shop.And the mouth thief quickly ordered, except for dumplings, every cold dish will come with twenty catties.

Now the waiter in the shop is very happy.This is not a small deal. Their cold dishes are much more expensive than hot dishes. After all, they have to be prepared one to two days in advance, and most places have the least amount of donkeys.These twenty catties, I'm afraid I can give away the unsold ones!Although the next two days will be very busy, who doesn't want to make a whole lot of money at once!

After hearing what the prince said, the princess's jaw dropped: "You are too exaggerated! Twenty catties! When will you eat?"

Xing Yihong said: "Of course it's for you as a snack. And it can be divided into small portions and given to those at home when you go back."

Anyway.The things in the kitchen are kept fresh. With these things, when I am too lazy to cook, I can have something to eat when I don’t go to the inn to stay. "That's right. In that case, I should ask for more delicious hot dishes. How about I try this braised donkey meat first!"

There are no other ingredients in the stewed donkey meat except donkey meat, and there are more than a dozen pieces of meat in a small clay pot the size of a palm, which looks very full.

The soup is thick and red in sauce, and when you pick up a piece and put it in your mouth, the first thing you feel is the glutinous texture of the donkey skin.The heat is absolutely perfect, otherwise it would not be this kind of taste.The donkey meat was stewed very badly, but it would not fall apart unless it was pinched.It is impossible to melt in the mouth, and it is more delicious when chewed.The flavor of the sauce is as strong as it smells.It's just a bit salty, Gong Xiaoyong thinks this braised donkey meat is definitely a good choice to eat with rice or cakes.

Stir-fried donkey kidney is also quite good.The donkey kidneys cut into flower knives are deep-fried, flowered and shaped, and then stir-fried.This dish is very spicy and can avoid the fishy smell of the kidneys. The key is that it is fried well, and it tastes really burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

The donkey belly is also stir-fried, but the taste is quite different.First boil the water and then stir-fry, which reduces the greasy feeling. Put it together with celery and melon strips, and it has a delicate fragrance in the salty and fresh.The belly is still crunchy, but it is easy to bite off.After eating two slices of this, Gong Xiaoyong suddenly missed belly fat. "Let me tell you. There is a famous snack in our capital city called Baoduer. You use water to boil the belly of a cow or sheep. Just take it out after a few seconds in the water and eat it with the sauce. Then It feels really great! I don’t know if I can get it in exchange, but my skills are definitely not good at the moment. When I stabilize in the future, I will definitely find time to practice.”

There are many books about famous snacks on Gong Xiaoyong's bookshelf.Articles and introductions about bursting belly naturally cannot escape the eyes of the prince. "Otherwise we can buy a piece of farmland in the future, and then hire people to farm and herd sheep. It will be used exclusively for you to make food."

The princess is embarrassed. "Emma, ​​it's too much for you to say that. But it's also a good idea! Start from the farm, go to the ranch, turn to the fishing ground, and then go to the small restaurant! Eh? It seems that even the small restaurant can't digest it like this ah!"

If it wasn't for a crowded place, the prince would have burst into laughter: "Isn't there another family to follow?"

Thinking of the nationwide chain of catering companies in Shunxin Building, Xiao Yongzi calmed down: "That's right." Other people's homes have land, but my own doesn't.What are you afraid of? !I have a prince at home, so I can buy as much land as I want, hum!

In the end, when they left Baiweixian, the two of them paid a full 20 taels of money, which was about [-] taels of silver.Of course, it's not just those [-]-jin cold dishes, they also have a lot of hot dishes.Even pots and jars have to be delivered to the inn the next day, which feels a bit scary.

Putting these things into the pony cart is also a lot of difficulty.Those who do are easy to handle.All wrapped in parchment paper.Those pots and jars for hot dishes are cheating.The key is to have heat!Just this time, the face of Baiweixian shopkeeper was scared.The money is earned a lot at one time, and people also gave rewards.The problem is that with so many things, if there is a mistake or something, it is very worrying!Fortunately, it was delivered safely and helped to fill a full car.As for what happens on the road, they are not responsible.This business can't be accepted like this next time.

Not long after the carriage drove away, Gong Xiaoyong got into the carriage and started to mess around in the villa.The problem is that a lot of things in the kitchen have been cleaned up in the warehouse of the Wangfu before they came out, and now that there are so many things, the kitchen needs to be tidied up, and there is only room left.This is due to the fact that my family has been a cook for several generations. Even if my father is not a chef, he is very picky about the choice of kitchen when buying a house.Otherwise, the area is definitely not big enough.But looking at these delicious foods, his heart was full, as if he had a feeling of a mouse hiding food.Could it be that he was hungry and cold?Otherwise, where did this habit come from...
