Chapter 52 Cooking

If a city wants to truly become a city, it must have its own urban culture and something that is recognized by everyone. The activities we have participated in together will remain in people's memory forever and become memories that will never fade.

The sense of ritual is something that everyone yearns for more or less. Participating in something together, working together for something, will generate a concept called "collective", which will greatly improve the cohesion of all people.

The wide avenue is already full of tables and chairs, delicate, rough, and elegant dishes are placed on the long table, the hot fish and shrimp porridge is still steaming, and the spring rolls in the steamer are just There is a faint hint of sweetness, the freshly cooked sweet and sour fish is poured with the last sauce, and the strong smell of stewed meat stimulates the nostrils.

There is only a little bit of star anise mixed in red pepper left-attractive sweetness, a handful of cumin sprinkled on the roasted venison, and the pork coated with a layer of cornstarch rolled in hot oil Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the washed lettuce will turn greener and greener after being boiled in salted boiling water for a few moments. Take it out and put it on a white porcelain plate, topped with the prepared sauce, it is crispy Refreshing and very appetizing.

"How do you make this dish?"

"This dish? It's tofu soup."

"No wonder your house smells like this all the time. It turns out it's fried chili oil."

"This restaurant's The sauce is well made." The

long, unique flowing water seats were prepared one by one, and under the peach tree red lanterns on the side of the road, the lively Baijia Banquet began. Wandering on the wide avenue, youyouyouyou took the dishes and chopsticks, walked along the tables and chairs, followed the dishes you liked, and really managed to eat all over the city.

The shops in Xinyang City are not stingy. On such a happy day, they naturally take out their signboards to greet the city residents. In the tavern, there are several jars of fine wine for people to taste. In front of the pastry shop, a rabbit-shaped , lotus and cinnamon-shaped pastries of various colors are sweet and lovely, and moving forward, there are several grilled fish restaurants. Fascinated people stop.

There is that ingenious one, making red lantern buns one by one and placing them in front of the shop, which greatly steals the limelight.

The city is bustling, with delicious food from hundreds of households coming one after another, making people afraid that their stomachs will be too small to taste more delicacies in various forms. For a whole noon, there are endless delicacies, and everyone is talking about it. : Whoever's food is eaten up, whoever's family will have great blessings this year.

As a result, devout men and women are soliciting customers in front of their own doors, trying every means to attract a few Gods of Wealth to come and taste, "Come and taste my food, my food is very good."

"Eat my steamed stuffed bun, this is my My daughter-in-law has made it for more than ten years!"

"My family's brine is more delicious!"

"..."

In order to get that good fortune, the wind of comparison can't help but arise. After losing face, he practiced his culinary skills hard afterwards. Ten years later, he became the founder of the "Zhenweixuan" that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

The custom of Baijia Banquet has been handed down.

Except for him, everyone wanted this kind of lottery, so that every household in Xinyang City had practiced good cooking skills. Later, someone came to Xinyang City from other places and ate an ordinary meal in a family's house. He was astonished and said, "I have never eaten such a delicious dish in my life." As a result, the family said to him: "My food is the worst in this street!" At first, the man refused to believe it, but after eating all over the city, he realized that the family did not lie to him... A six or seven-year-old child who practiced cooking hard since childhood can cook good dishes.

Every family studies cooking skills, this is a gourmet paradise!

Duan Shubai also prepared a table of delicacies at home.

"Let's go! Go to the general's place to eat dumplings. I heard that the general's wife and the general

made the dumplings by themselves!" "You must eat the dumplings made by the general. You will be blessed."

Duan Shubai expected today's bustle , all the specially prepared dumplings, he and Xiao Yuhe, together with the servants of the family, made thousands of dumplings together, and placed them at the door, in pots of pots or steamers, steamed and boiled, guaranteed Everyone can taste it.

The reformed Ma Xiaoliu squeezed in and "robbed" four dumplings, then got out and offered them to his pregnant daughter-in-law Zhang Lihua, "Daughter-in-law, try the dumplings

made by the general and his wife." Zhang Lihua smiled, picked up the dumpling with her chopsticks and took a bite. It was hard. She spit it out and saw that there was a copper coin inside

. Give it to our son." The

couple left happily.

"This year, oh no, it was last year's harvest scene, the most powerful one I have ever seen in my life, old man!"

"We haven't had such a festive time in Yangzhou for many years."

"Thank you, General!"

"Since General Duan came, our Yangzhou has had a bumper crop. Our General must be a god descending from the earth. Hey, I have to eat some more dumplings to reap the blessings." "Old Li's family, can you give me the copper coins you just ate

?

"

Xiao Yuhe went to whichever house he wanted, and the townspeople on both sides looked at his general's wife eagerly, waiting for him to stop at the table in front of his house. Blowing for several years.

"Back then, General Duan had eaten dishes made by your grandfather and me!"

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

Xiao Yuhe stopped in front of a table, and Duan Shubai took a piece of hot pancake with a dish, tasted it himself before feeding it to Xiao Yuhe, Xiao Yuhe squinted his eyes and took a bite, sandwiched Pancakes stuffed with bananas, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "It's delicious."

Seeing that he was eating happily, Duan Shubai couldn't help but smile, and then complimented him.

The uncle who was making pancakes was from Jianzhou. This was their local delicacy. He rubbed his hands, feeling very honored by the general and his wife's compliment.

This banana pancake became famous later on. This uncle opened a pancake stall in Xinyang City, and it has been preserved for hundreds of years, just like the Zhenwei Restaurant above.

Xiao Yuhe supported his swollen belly, looked to the left, and looked again. It was actually the first time he had seen such a grand event. He couldn't help but smile like the people around him.

Duan Shubai led Xiao Yuhe all the way forward, walked through the residential areas, and passed the dormitories of the soldiers.

Tables were also placed in front of those small wooden buildings, and a few big men rushed back and forth in a hurry.

"Troublesome, nerve-wracking."

"The general is too troublesome. We soldiers have to serve a table of food in each dormitory. This is not troublesome. I can't even steam rice, and I am asked to cook."

One A dormitory was also asked to make a table of food, which broke the brains of these soldiers. Can the things they make be edible? The general really wants to kill these old men.

The complaining soldier looked around and complained, "Old Niu, old Niu, where did he go?

" Go."

"Only the two of us are left here, are these bastards still human? Why don't we get rid of this table in our dormitory, and let's go eat and drink?"

"Go, go, that's the last place in our dormitory. Poor, I didn't get all eight plates, how come I missed the job, the captain said, the worst table will be punished."

"What punishment?"

"It seems to be going to vigil on New Year's Eve next year..."

"My God , let's work hard, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

. Let's go when you've got enough."

Liang Feng, who was sitting on the table with his long legs dangling back and forth, clicked his tongue in distaste. As a chef in the army, he didn't even have a dish, let alone a single dish. I'm afraid, he made all the dishes in their dormitory by himself! Guaranteed to be delicious in color and fragrance.

There was not a single piece of pork in the dishes he was in charge of!

Especially without any wild boar!

Liu Dong, that dead man, actually urged him to cook a wild boar feast in front of everyone, Liang Feng knocked on the table with his eyes closed, and asked him to cook a wild boar feast, he would never even think about it in his life.

Jiang Bai looked at him, secretly smiled and patted Zhi Yongjun on the shoulder: "Look, how much I feel sorry for them... I can't bear to make a

piece of wild pork, my feelings are so deep..." Zhi Yongjun He exchanged glances with him, hehehe smiled and said, "If I had such a past, I wouldn't bear it either."

Hehehehehe.

Liang Feng was gnashing his teeth at the side, don't think that he is deaf and can't hear the voice of hehehe.

His heartless brother has already wandered around with his future sister-in-law, Tingting. It's really sad that he is alone here.

Zhang Changle shook his hand, a blister was formed on his hand, he couldn't help complaining together: "What do you think about our general, you actually force us to cook..."

"That's right, how could we do it!"

"It's probably a decision I didn't wake up to."

Duan Shubai, who had long ears, heard the loud voice. He rubbed his wrists and asked Qiu Ran to take care of Xiao Yuhe. He walked to Zhang Changle in two steps. Beside him, he scolded with a smile: "What are you arranging for me?"

Zhang Changle's expression froze, and he shook like a rattle, "No, no, we didn't say anything."

Duan Shu gave him a clear look, and sent A threatening little look.

Do it yourself!

Duan Shu smiled with his lips hooked like a mystery, grabbed the shoulders of his confidant, hooked his fingers to attract a few people to listen, and said in a kind tone of a caring big brother: "I let you practice cooking for the sake of How are you guys, look at the bachelors in our army, how many meals they can cook, and how much money they can get when they find a wife in the future, look at me, the general, I also wash my hands and make soup..."

"Let me tell you, it feels different to make food for someone you like. Why is it different? Come on, let me tell you in detail..."

"It just so happens that we have time today..."

General Duan's classroom Classes have started.

Zhang Changle: "..."

Jiang Bai: "..."

Zhi Yongjun: "..."

You probably forgot what the kennel looked like in the small wooden building before, the three of them still remember it.

Seeing this, Liang Feng ran over and yelled loudly: "General, come to our table to try my Liang Feng's handicraft!"

Zhang Changle said quickly: "Yes yes yes yes, let's try Xiaofeng together. You must have heard of Liang Feng's pork!" "

Pork ?" Liang Feng yelled "You guys are kidding me, aren't you? If you can find a plate of pork here, I'll take your surname." Duan Shubai patted the young man on the shoulder to express his comfort. Xiao Yuhe couldn't help laughing behind him.
