Chapter 233 Three-Headed Banquet (Thanks to YKYB_KI for the reward)
"Jingjing, where have you been? You're locking the shared bicycle, right? Huihui still has a big question to finish. I was afraid of being late so I brought her here directly. It's the same thing if I go back to write after dinner. There's no rush. "Two questions."
"Come, Huihui says hello to your sister Qu."
"Hello, sister Qu Jing." Chen Huihui greeted Qu Jing obediently in the video, "Sister Qu, my mother said that your ultraviolet allergy is cured, and I can tell that you have become darker during this period."
Qu Jing, who locked her bicycle, was stunned and could only smile: "Hui Hui is still sharp-eyed. Sister Qu's ultraviolet allergy is indeed almost better."
Chen Huihong led Chen Huihui into the box and was a little surprised to see that there were only Qin Huai and Huang Anyao in the box: "They are not here? I thought I was going to be late."
Qin Huai looked at his phone: "There are still 8 minutes left. Ouyang just sent me a message saying that after Uncle Wang went out, he realized that he forgot to take the fruit, so he went back to get it. Uncle Qian and the others were waiting for Uncle Wang at the gate of the community. They should immediately It’s here.”
As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, noisy footsteps came from outside. What was louder than the footsteps was Chen Juan's scolding.
"Wang Gensheng, if you can't remember something, just put on your reading glasses and look at the memo you recorded on your phone. You were the one who said I was embarrassed to come to Dr. Qu's banquet empty-handed, and you were the one who said I would buy some fresh fruits and bring them here. I asked you to choose. It was you who ordered the fruit but was tricked into buying the ridiculously expensive Qiuyue pear. It was you who forgot to bring the fruit when he went out. "
"Didn't you remember things very clearly when you were an accountant? You could still clearly report the accounts of the first year in the second year. How could you boast that you were the company's humanoid accounting bookkeeper and only left the house with a bag of fruit? I forget to take it when I’m there.”
"Why didn't you forget to come too? You forgot yourself at home. I came out to enjoy this feast."
"I was thinking about other things, and I forgot about the fruit when I went out." Uncle Wang defended in a low voice.
"Think about other things. What do you have to think about now? Do you think you have to calculate performance bonuses and year-end bonuses at the end of the year before you retire? Don't make excuses. I'm warning you. Just eat today. Don't think about those years. ”
"Sister Chen, you're right! Sister Chen, let me tell you, Wang Laogen likes to think about the past the most when he runs in the morning. Every time he can't run anymore, he thinks about the past." Xu Tuqiang took the opportunity to complain.
"Ahem, please keep your voice down when we are almost at the box. There are Dr. Qu's colleagues today. We neighbors can't embarrass Dr. Qu!" Uncle Qian reminded.
"Qian, you are from the next neighborhood. What kind of neighbor do you think you are? I am the real neighbor!"
"Xiao Ou, is the pineapple at your place?"
Grandma Ding opened the door.
Silence outside.
The uncles and aunties who were looking at each other one second as if they were about to start a fight, automatically switched to the warm fake smiles of the uncles and aunties the moment they opened the door and walked in.
Grandma Ding and Chen Juan took the lead carrying the fruits. Each person had a bag of cut fruits. The high-quality fruits were paired with simple red plastic bags. There were also many small forks in the plastic boxes containing the fruits.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. We brought some fruit here. Let's eat some fruit first. Dr. Qu... Hey, haven't Dr. Qu and her colleagues arrived yet?" Chen Juan enthusiastically distributed fruit to everyone. cut.
Everyone sitting in the box heard the conversation outside clearly:...
As a time-honored restaurant, Huangji was expanded and renovated on the basis of the original state-owned hotel. It is well known to old diners that the soundproofing of the private rooms is not very good.
It would be a little better if the door was closed, so that the chat in the 888 box would not be heard clearly in the 666 box.
But if the door is not closed and the person chatting happens to have a loud voice...
The private chat becomes public.
When Chen Huihong came in just now, she just closed the door slightly. The uncles and aunties happened to be a little deaf because of their age, so their voices were very loud.
Qin Huai stood up, his smile unchanged, and took the fruit as if he hadn't heard anything just now: "Grandma Ding, Aunt Chen, you are so polite, and you even brought fruit here specially."
"Doctor Qu and the others will be here soon, please take a seat first."
Wang Gensheng consciously sat down at the food serving entrance. After sitting down, he looked back at the box door. As if he remembered something, he couldn't help but sigh: "I remember back then..."
"Shut up!"
Two minutes later, Qu Jing, Dr. Zhou, Director Liu, mother and daughter hurried to the box.
Everyone is here.
Although Qu Jing has recovered all her memories, she also tries hard to become sunny and cheerful, and wants to socialize and live like a normal person. However, no matter which life she was in, Qu Jing is not a person who is good at making friends and communicating.
Sensing Qu Jing's nervousness and reserve, Qin Huai, who was entrusted by Huang Shengli to entertain today's guests, glanced at Huang Anyao beside him.
Well, the young master is even more nervous and reserved than Qu Jing. Huang Anyao didn't say a word from the moment people entered the box, even if there were acquaintances of his among the people present.
Qu Jing, Ouyang, Chen Huihong, and Huang Anyao all knew each other. Qin Huai reserved snacks for the three of them, and Huang Anyao was the one who took care of the delivery.
Knowing that the young master's family was unreliable, Qin Huai stood up and began to introduce everyone present one by one.
When Huang Anyao was introduced, Qin Huai suddenly felt stuck, and for a moment he could not imagine his relationship with everyone present.
"Huang Anyao, Huang...Huang Ji's young master, Master Huang Shengli is his father. He is here today mainly because he is afraid that everyone has no experience in eating the Three-Headed Banquet, and he doesn't know when to start, so he made a special trip to introduce the Three-Headed Banquet to everyone." Qin Huai said.
"Ah?" Huang Anyao was shocked and looked at Qin Huai with a face full of wonders. Why didn't I know when my father assigned me this task?
Director Liu shook hands with Huang Anyao enthusiastically: "Mr. Huang, I have admired you for a long time. I really like your Huangji Restaurant. Every time our department had dinner together, we came to Huangji for dinner. I have always regretted that I didn't come to Huangji for dinner earlier. I didn't eat at Huangji. Once the VIP card is issued, we in the Department of Neurology will definitely work harder in the future and strive to get the VIP card earlier than the Department of Orthopedics!”
Dr. Zhou also stood up and shook hands warmly: "Mr. Huang, you can contact me at any time if you need it in the future. Although I am not familiar with doctors in the rehabilitation department, I have contacts with doctors in orthopedics, emergency department, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Register with me!"
Huang Anyao stood up in confusion and shook hands one by one. His eyes were still on Qin Huai, and he winked wildly and asked himself how to introduce the dishes.
Qin Huai told him to just be yourself.
Just then the waiter came in and asked if everyone was ready to serve. Huang Anyao was standing and immediately nodded to indicate that he could serve.
Today's menu was prepared by Huang Shengli in advance, and it is also the standard menu for the three-head banquet at Huangji Restaurant.
Eight plates of cold dishes: cold jellyfish skin, cold double crisps, bone-in palm fins, salted gizzard kernels, salt and pepper eel shreds, agate salted eggs, mustard tripe and crystal fish sticks.
Season four dishes: soy garlic, mixed coriander, red bean curd and pickled radish slices.
Twelve hot dishes: Stir-fried day jade, soft pocket long fish, dry-fried chicken, abalone breast and pigeon eggs, grilled whole pig head, braised lion head with crab meat, braised silver carp head, ginkgo cabbage heart, assorted coconuts, stir-fried Seasonal vegetables, Yangzhou fried rice and chicken slice soup.
Four kinds of snacks: fermented steamed buns, sandwich buns, Soviet-style moon cakes and fruits.
Originally, the four dim sum dishes of Huang Ji's Three Head Banquet were Zheng Siyuan's four dim sums. After Qin Huai came, they became Qin Huai's two kinds and Zheng Siyuan's two kinds. After Guoer appeared in "Zhiwei", they directly changed into the current Qin Huai's three kinds. Same as Zheng Siyuan.
The waiters filed in to serve the dishes, and each exquisite dish that was full of color, flavor, and beautifully presented was brought to the table, and everyone stared straight at it.
Of all the people here, except Huang Anyao, no one has ever had a serious three-head banquet.
Even Qin Huai ate in bulk.
Seeing everyone's unfamiliar expressions, Huang Anyao knew that it was time for him to perform.
Shaodongjia transformed into the best dish commentator.
"In the traditional three-head banquet, salted gizzards and crystal fish sticks are two indispensable cold dishes."
"Many of the uncles and aunts here are outsiders and may not know that salted gizzards are second only to fried peanuts as a delicious dish for drinking. When making them, we must use fresh and large duck gizzards, which are pickled and cooked. Then marinate it, There are only a few types of spices used in the whole production process, only salt, pepper, green onion, **** slices and Shaoxing wine. Since it is pressed with heavy objects for 12 hours during pickling, the final product will have a very firm texture. Chewy.”
Hearing what Huang Anyao said, everyone sitting there suddenly felt that the seemingly ordinary duck gizzards looked very delicious, and they wished they could have a glass of wine to go with the food.
After Qu Jing took the first chopstick, everyone stretched out their chopsticks one after another, and a plate of salted gizzard seeds was served in an instant.
"Crystal fish sticks are made from fresh small fish. After removing the small spines, they are sliced into long strips. They are lightly coated with a layer of starch and rolled in boiling water until cooked. Then they are served cold with the sauce."
"Because the fish strips are thin enough and cooked in boiling water, they look a little crystal clear at first glance, so they are called crystal fish strips. This dish looks simple and easy to make, but in fact the work of removing the bones is extremely complicated and cumbersome. This kind of cold dish only appears at such a big banquet.”
"If you are interested, you can eat it with pickled radish slices. The taste and texture will be even better." Hearing what Huang Anyao said, everyone followed suit and disced the crystal fish sticks and pickled radish slices on the spot.
Then everyone stopped eating other dishes and looked at Huang Anyao with wide eyes, waiting for him to introduce the next dish.
What to eat, how to eat, and where to eat.
Although Huang Anyao comes from a family with cooking skills, he has never done anything related to cooking since he was a child. He cannot be said to be good at eating. He is simply good at speaking. He has never experienced this kind of being the center of attention at the dinner table. feeling.
Seeing that everyone trusted him so much, Huang Anyao was very moved for a moment. He cleared his throat and introduced more vigorously.
"Actually, one of these cold dishes is also our Huangji specialty. It is neither Huaiyang cuisine nor Subang cuisine, but it is my dad's specialty cold dish."
"Mustard belly."
“I don’t know if you have ever tasted mustard duck feet from a roast duck restaurant. If you have and can accept the taste, I highly recommend you try this mustard belly.”
"This dish is made by cutting the cooked pork belly into shreds, then cutting it into half-thick powdered skin, blanch it in boiling water, take it out, cool it in cold water, and finally mix it with sesame oil."
"Mustard is a specially made mustard paste using mustard powder and some seasonings. This recipe is my dad's unique secret recipe. The mustard flavor is not strong, and it goes well with shredded belly."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"If you don't like mustard paste, just pick the one at the bottom. The mustard paste is poured from the top, and the belly shreds and vermicelli at the bottom cannot stick to it before it is mixed. Although it is also delicious when eaten alone, the mustard If the tripe is not dipped in any mustard paste, it is not mustard tripe.”
10 seconds later, the mustard belly shredded disc was on the disc, and even the little bit of mustard paste left on the plate was dipped away by Ouyang.
"Oops, I forgot to introduce the salt and pepper eel slices. Although this dish is a cold dish, you have to eat it quickly."
"Although this dish looks like dry-fried eel, it is actually made of shiitake mushrooms. The shiitake mushrooms are cut into strips, coated in starch and fried in hot oil. It is not deep-fried. The oil is drained and allowed to cool before cooking. Serve."
"This dish will taste crispy only after it is cooled, but if it is left for a long time, it will become weak again. You have to eat it quickly!" After saying that, Huang Anyao picked up a chopstick.
Three seconds later, the shredded eel with salt and pepper is disc.
"Xiao Huang, don't introduce the cold dishes. Let's introduce some hot dishes. Look, these dishes are already on the table." Xu Tuqiang stared at the long soft fish in front of him and did not dare to move his chopsticks.
Obviously Xu Tuqiang thought he was a thick-skinned man who could even do such things as borrowing wine to make steamed buns. But for some reason, in a scene like today, Xu Tuqiang felt that he wouldn't be able to hold out the chopsticks if Huang Anyao didn't introduce him.
If I don’t introduce it, I always feel like something is missing.
Just now Xu Tuqiang secretly picked up a piece of fried jade with his chopsticks, and when he ate it, he felt like something was missing. As a stir-fried shrimp, it's already delicious, but I just didn't feel like eating it after listening to Huang Anyao's introduction.
Huang Anyao nodded. In fact, he had almost introduced the cold dishes. He had been slow to introduce the hot dishes because the ones served now were all supporting characters, and the real protagonists hadn't been served yet.
"As for hot dishes, in addition to the braised whole pig head, braised lion head with crabmeat and braised silver carp head, there is another dish that is indispensable for the three-head banquet, which is the long soft-pocket fish in front of you."
"This dish is not less famous than the three dishes I just mentioned, because it was the first hot dish at the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and is also known as the first hot dish of the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"Long fish, that is, eels. The eels in this season are not actually fat. They are best eaten from June to August. Of course, some people like to eat them in spring. Although the eels in spring are not the fattest, the meat is tender. , I can only say that each has its own strengths.”
"This dish is not difficult to make."
"Put the long fish in boiling water for a minute and take it out. Heat the pan with cold oil and fry the ingredients first. Fry the garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour in the garlic and chili shreds. Stir-fry for about 10 seconds. Add in the eel. fish."
"The entire stir-frying process requires adding seasoned soup and hot oil in sequence, continuing to stir-fry throughout the process to control the heat, and finally removing it from the pan and serving it on a plate."
"At first glance, the preparation method of this dish is very simple, there is no complicated work. There is no need to turn the spoon, and there is no need to pour hot oil when it comes out of the pot like the eel paste. You can still hear the crackling sound when you bring it to the table, but In fact, the chef’s control and requirements for cooking are very high.”
“Fierce stir-frying requires heat, and repeated stir-frying requires even more heat.”
"This dish is about eating the tender fish. Pick it up with chopsticks, and the two ends of the fish hang down, just like the bellyband on a child's chest. When eating, the fish can be held with a spoon, so this dish It’s named after the soft pocket long fish.”
After talking a lot, Huang Anyao felt so greedy that he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a chopstick.
Everyone followed closely behind. Wang Gensheng picked up one and watched the two ends of the long fish hanging down. After squinting for a long time, he turned his head and muttered to Chen Juan in a low voice: "Is this what a child's bellyband looks like?"
"Don't worry about what you eat." Chen Juan actively grabbed the food.
CD.
Looking at the empty plates on the table, Qin Huai deeply felt that Huang Anyao had been the young boss of Huang Ji all these years, and it was really Huang Ji who restricted his talents.
When it comes to marketing plans, Huang Anyao does a really bad job.
When you go to a supplier to negotiate a price for the goods, he can't negotiate the price or the goods.
When I went out to participate in a cooking exchange meeting, I only ate and did not interact with others. I asked whether the food at such and such exchange meeting was not delicious.
But as a food host, Huang Anyao is really professional.
If Huang Ji wants to become popular, there is no need to wait for Guoer to appear on "Zhiwei". Let Huang Anyao do a live broadcast and introduce it to the camera while eating, which is more effective than anything else.
It is guaranteed that which dish is introduced that day will be sold out.
Anyao selection, rest assured and reliable.
Qin Huai ate the long fish in his soft pocket and silently praised Huang Anyao in his heart.
He said that he always felt that something was missing when eating Xiaozao during this period. It turned out that it was because Huang Anyao was missing to explain in his ears.
Qin Huai felt that these two bites of soft-double long fish today were the most delicious soft-double long fish he had eaten in this month.
Huang Anyao's mouth was a little dry after talking so much, so he drank some water to moisten his throat.
As soon as I put down the cup, the waiter served the food.
Crab meat lion head and braised silver carp head.
The main event is here!
Fresh out of the pot, fragrant, a dish made by Huang Shengli himself!
As the young master, Huang Anyao could only enjoy Qin Huai's small stove on weekdays, and had few opportunities to actually sit at the table and eat the complete three-head banquet. Normally, Huang Anyao wouldn't eat the wedding banquet directly on the table. He would sit in the kitchen and eat it. He rarely sat in the box and had a serious three-head banquet like today.
Now seeing the braised silver carp head being dismantled, Huang Anyao couldn't move his eyes away and subconsciously wanted to use his chopsticks to pick it up.
Then he noticed that he seemed to be the only one at the table who picked up the chopsticks.
Everyone else looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to explain.
Huang Anyao: No, can you all bear this?
Braised silver carp head and crab meat lion head are already on the table. Can you still hold back your chopsticks and wait for me to tell you?
There are people in this world who can resist looking at these two dishes without using their chopsticks, and there is still a whole table full of people!
Is it because the flu has been so bad recently that everyone has a bad cold and can’t smell it?
Huang Anyao was stunned.
Huang Anyao silently put down his chopsticks.
Huang Anyao cleared his throat.
Huang Anyao tried hard to look away from the head of the braised silver carp.
"Since this banquet is called the Three-head Banquet, the real protagonists are of course the braised silver carp head and crab meat lion head that were just served."
"When braised silver carp head, you should choose..."
“…”
