Chapter 235 The Long Fish Feast (Thanks to the hero who loves hamburgers, the Silver Alliance, for the reward!)
The content of Uncle Wang's recollection of the past this time was different from the past.
In the past, when he recalled the past, he always started by saying that he had not made any false or incorrect accounts for so many years. He briefly recalled the glorious years when he worked in a cotton spinning mill in Gusu when he was young, and then selected one or two negative teaching materials for sharp comparison to highlight his own achievements. Excellent work ability.
Finally, I would like to briefly praise myself for being very popular in the factory. I was a good colleague of my colleagues and a good accountant in the cotton spinning factory.
Basically all of these.
But today, maybe the three-head banquet was really delicious. What Uncle Wang recalled about the past was not his outstanding work ability, nor his good interpersonal relationships, nor the glorious moment when he was commended by the leader, nor was he after being transferred from Gusu. ’s eventful years.
It's a dish served at a birthday party.
Uncle Wang directly started to sign up for the names of the dishes.
Long fish in soft pocket, long fish soup, braised tiger tail, oolong egg, silver long fish, silver fried noodles, long fish balls, long fish thousand, long fish crispy combination, long fish shaomai, big roasted butterfly slices.
This dish was so famous that no one present doubted that Wang Gensheng had Alzheimer's disease. This memory is really first-rate. After so many years, I can remember the names of dishes clearly. I am worthy of being a gold medal accountant in a cotton spinning mill and keeping a human-shaped account book.
He always has trouble remembering things. He forgot to bring fruit today, forget to buy soy sauce yesterday, and forgot to buy garlic the day before yesterday. It must be because he didn't take Chen Juan's advice to heart. Xu Tuqiang strongly suggested that Chen Juan should carry out justice against Wang Gensheng when she returns home. She should not let him go and give Wang Gensheng some color!
Uncle Wang announced a lot of dish names that no one had heard of, and they were stunned for a while.
Only Huang Anyao seemed to understand. He was a little shocked and confused. He waited until Wang Gensheng finished speaking before speaking: "Uncle Wang, what you had that day was a fish feast."
"What kind of fish banquet?" Wang Gensheng was a little confused and waved his hand to indicate that Huang Anyao might have misunderstood, "It was a friend of mine's 20th birthday. I went over to have some food. It was not a banquet."
"At that time, how could I have a banquet with my status? At that time, no one would hold a wedding banquet when we got married. It would be considered rich to buy some high-end candies as wedding candies."
"But the dish you just mentioned is the dish for the Long Fish Feast." Huang Anyao said.
"What is the Long Fish Feast?" Qin Huai helped everyone ask the questions in their minds.
Only then did Huang Anyao realize that none of the people here were professionals, and quickly explained: "The long fish is eel. Huai'an is rich in eels, and the local chefs are very proficient in eel cooking. The prototype of the long fish feast first appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Later, Huai'an chefs continued to develop it and evolved into the Fish Feast, which was once one of the five most famous feasts in the country. "
"The dishes of the Long Fish Feast are all made from eels. The complete Long Fish Feast has a total of 108 dishes and takes three consecutive days. The daily menu includes eight large bowls, eight small bowls, sixteen plates and four snacks."
"Don't talk about it now, even back then there were very few chefs who could make a complete fish feast. Even if a master leads an apprentice, even if several masters work together, they can make 108 dishes all made of eels in three days. It’s extremely difficult to create unique dishes without losing flavor.”
"Like my dad, he is already quite good at making eel dishes. His signature dish is eel paste, soft-double long fish, fried eel segments, and long fish soup are the eel dishes he cooks more often. Dishes, really counting, he may know more than ten or twenty ways to prepare eel, but 108 ways..."
"Even if Master Pei Shenghua from Chengfangju comes, he may not be able to do it."
"The names of the dishes that Uncle Wang reported just now can actually be put together into a simple long fish feast."
"Soft pocket long fish, braised tiger tail, oolong egg, big roasted butterfly slices, and silver long fish are all well-known dishes in the long fish banquet. As a simple version of the long fish banquet, these dishes are quite good. Generally speaking, None of the chefs dared to accept it.”
Qin Huai quickly explained in a low voice: "The Master Jing that Uncle Wang mentioned is your master."
Jiang Weijin is the master of S-recipes.
Huang Anyao suddenly understood, and even felt a little envious: "My dad ate really well when he was young."
Qin Huai:…
Has Master Huang Shengli been so low-key these years? He doesn't brag about his master in front of his son at all. Zheng Da was boasting so much that Zheng Siyuan's eyes lit up when he mentioned his master.
Uncle Wang was shocked and murmured: "It turned out that the eel on the table was so powerful. I still thought it was strange at the time. It was also the birthday party of the factory director's son, so why would he cook some eel? There is nothing to eat with eel, it's all in the fields. Children in the countryside don’t even bother to catch them unless they are really hungry.”
Chen Juan:…
I don’t know why, but Chen Juan now wants to execute justice on her wife.
"Which factory director's son? Do you still know the factory director's son? Which son? Why haven't I seen him?" Chen Juan asked.
Wang Gensheng's expression changed a little, and he was not very willing to say anything. He said vaguely: "He is the youngest son of Director Xu of our cotton spinning factory. You don't know that when you entered the factory, little Xu was..."
Chen Juan was also stunned and said nothing.
Wang Gensheng looked at the leftovers on the table with some emotion: "It would be great if Xiao Xu was still here. He loves eating the most. If he could sit here and have such a meal today, he might be happy to go home. How many days?”
No one answered, only Huang Anyao said stupidly: "That factory director Xu must have had a good relationship with my master back then. Even cooking a simple version of the Changyu Banquet would be troublesome. It needs to be prepared at least three or four days in advance." , I’m willing to do a long fish banquet just for my birthday, but I can’t do it without any friendship.”
Qin Huai suddenly understood Huang Shengli's feeling of powerlessness when he saw Huang Anyao negotiating with suppliers.
If Shaodong had allocated half of his talent in explaining dishes to his emotional intelligence in dealing with people, he wouldn't have made the marketing plan like this.
It wasn't until the meal was completely finished that Huang Anyao reacted belatedly and asked Qin Huai: "Did I say something wrong just now? Did Director Xu's youngest son have an accident? Shouldn't I take that job?" talk."
Qin Huai comforted him: "It's okay. If we chat a few more words, everyone will know that you don't mean it."
The meal started at 2:45 and didn't end until about 4 o'clock. Ouyang suggested in the group that since it is rare for so many people to get together, why not go to Guanhe Tower for a meal together in the evening? The coupon he has for Guanhe Tower will expire tomorrow.
The group of friends responded positively, and Director Liu even said that it was still early, so it was better to ride a bicycle to eat. She knew a good place to ride a bicycle, which was right near her home. It only took half an hour to ride a shared bicycle from here, then another hour to ride, and finally half an hour to Guanhe Tower for dinner.
She also happened to send her daughter back to do her homework and ride her bicycle.
Xu Tuqiang and Uncle Qian from the morning running group said yes.
Dr. Zhou, who worked hard to practice driving speed every day when he couldn't eat Huang Ji, responded positively.
Qu Jing said that it is also good to exercise after meals.
Ouyang found that he seemed to have shot something in the foot.
Grandma Ding declined because she was older and had inconvenient legs, but she could continue to eat in the evening.
Chen Huihong left the company on the grounds that she wanted to send her daughter back to bed, and at the same time supported the evening meal activities.
Chen Juan was very interested in this, and Uncle Wang excused himself to go over later because he had something to do now.
Qin Huai was sitting at the door of the kitchen, reading the news in the group, and listening to Dong Shi telling him the latest gossip. From the corner of his eye, he could see Huang Anyao telling Huang Shengli with envy that an old man who had lunch today actually had it. Master's long fish feast.
Huangji is always very lively during breaks.
Dong Shi spoke very fast, and he had to race against time to finish the gossip before going to work in 10 minutes.
Even if this gossip is not true.
Wang Jun seems to be in love again, and the spring of Sixth Brother is back.
Just when Dong Shi was talking about how the girlfriend Wang Jun found this time didn't seem to care that much about appearance, or at least didn't have such high requirements for her partner's hair, a waiter poked his head in from the outside and said crisply:
"Master Qin, there is an uncle looking for you."
Dong Shi's gossip came to an abrupt end.
"We'll talk about it later." Qin Huai left this sentence and walked outside without noticing Dong Shi's sad eyes.
Dong Shi: I’ll go to work later, and Sixth Senior Brother will be back soon. How could I gossip about dating in front of him? Am I so stubborn?
Qin Huai walked out of the kitchen and found that it was Wang Gensheng who was looking for him.
This is a rare thing. The last time Wang Gensheng saw Qin Huai alone was at the Yunzhong Canteen. During this period, Qin Huai did not specially prepare a separate small stove for Wang Gensheng, fearing that he would find it too abrupt. Therefore, although Qin Huai knew Wang Gensheng better, they did not have much contact with each other. "Uncle Wang, what do you want from me? Did Ouyang take all the packed vegetables back and leave them for you? I have to talk to him about this. It's immoral to eat alone. I'll call him now, Ask him to give you two packing boxes."
"No, no." Uncle Wang waved his hands quickly, saying that Xiao Ou is a good comrade and cannot be wronged. "Give it to me. The packed dishes are distributed per person, one box per person, and there are no children."
"Two people in my family even took advantage and shared two boxes."
"I have something...no, I should be doing a favor for you, Master Xiao Qin."
Qin Huai:!
help!
It’s good to help. Helping can easily trigger side tasks!
"You said."
"I almost forgot about it after so many years, but the last time we had dinner, Lao Qian suddenly mentioned the double crab buns. I have been thinking about it all this time."
"I couldn't help but mention Xiao Xu when we were eating just now. I know you don't know who Xiao Xu is. Just think of me as an old man who likes to reminisce about the past and chatter about the past. Don't take it too seriously."
"It's like this. I have a dim sum recipe here. It should be quite difficult to make. Many years ago, a friend of mine bought it from a dim sum chef at a high price. Later, my father broke his leg and needed money for medical treatment. , I had no money in my hand, and he had no money in his hand, so he gave me the prescription and asked me to sell it for some money. "
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I haven't sold this recipe for so many years, I kept it in my hand. Later I was transferred and Master Jing passed away. I asked my previous colleagues to find out that the dim sum written on this recipe seems to have been lost. Master Jing My apprentice Xiao Zheng didn’t learn it.”
"I know that learning dim sum should be taught by the master step by step. I only have one recipe here and no one can teach me. It's a bit difficult to ask Xiao Qin to make dim sum according to the recipe. I don't mean to make it difficult for you. I might It’s because he’s getting older, and this time Gusu thinks of the past, and wants to eat double crab buns when he thinks about it.”
What Uncle Wang said was a bit confusing. Qin Huai was still listening and reasoning. When he heard Uncle Wang talking about double crab buns, Qin Huai was stunned. He was a little surprised and his voice could not help but rise.
"The recipe you are talking about is the recipe for double crab buns?!"
Uncle Wang was startled by Qin Huai's suddenly raised voice and nodded: "Master Xiao Qin, you know about double crab buns."
"I know a little bit. I heard Master Zheng talk about it. He actually knows how to make the double crab buns, but for some reasons he doesn't make them, so other people think that the double crab buns are lost."
"But now is not the time to make double crab buns. Double crab buns are a seasonal dish and you have to wait until autumn when the crab roe is plump. If you give me the recipe now, I can't practice it now." Qin Huai explained.
Although Uncle Wang doesn't know much about cooking, he knows what seasonal dishes are.
"But I remember that Xiao Xu also had double crab buns in spring, and he gave me a bite. They were as delicious as the ones in autumn." Uncle Wang was a little confused, took out his mobile phone, squinted his eyes, opened the photo album and flipped through it. , turned to the photo and handed the phone to Qin Huai.
The photo is the recipe taken by Uncle Wang.
"This is the recipe Xiao Xu gave me. There is a separate step in the middle. One requires sauce and the other requires fresh crab roe. Look at it, Xiao Qin. I remember that Master Jing could make crab roe all year round. "
Qin Huai took the phone and took a look, good guy, these are actually two recipes.
One is a normal recipe of double crab buns made with fresh crab roe.
Another is a double crab bun made with long-lasting crab roe sauce.
These two prescriptions are written in great detail, almost like Jiang Weiming's fool-proof teachings, for fear that the readers of the prescriptions will not be able to understand them. It details what should be done in each step, what is right, and what situations occur that indicate where there is a problem. It is no wonder that Uncle Wang can understand it.
Because it is very detailed, the two recipes appear to be very similar. Uncle Wang has never cooked, and his cooking skills are limited to boiling noodles and steaming steamed buns. It is reasonable for him to be confused and think that the two recipes are similar.
The version of the recipe that Zheng Da didn't learn is in the hands of Uncle Wang.
"Can it be done?" Uncle Wang asked.
"We can do it." Qin Huai nodded affirmatively.
Zheng Da knows how to make crab roe sauce, and Uncle Wang has a recipe for making double crab buns with crab roe sauce. You can make it by combining the two.
It’s so doable.
Qin Huai didn't ask who Xiao Xu was who gave Uncle Wang this recipe, because he had already guessed it.
This Xiao Xu, the youngest son of the director of the cotton spinning factory, should be the young man Qin Huai saw sitting in the state-owned hotel in Gong Liang's memory. At the same time, he also liked eating double crab buns so much that he bought the recipe for him at a high price. Master Jing, please make more delicious food from Master Jing.
Qin Huai doesn't need to ask Uncle Wang about what happened behind Xiao Xu, he can just ask Huang Shengli and Zheng Da, they will definitely know.
"Uncle Wang, please send me this picture. I will study it during this period and let you know as soon as I make any progress." Qin Huai said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Master Xiao Qin."
"No hard work, this is an out-of-print recipe. If you sell this recipe to Zhiweiju now, it will definitely sell for a lot of money. Now you show me the recipe for free, and I still make a profit."
Wang Gensheng smiled, said nothing, and left.
Qin Huai returned to the kitchen, there were still 5 minutes left before going to work.
Wang Jun hasn't come back yet.
They should be really in love, racing against time to fall in love outside.
Dong Shi put down the water glass and rushed to Qin Huai, wanting to seize the time to continue gossiping.
Qin Huai spoke first, disrupting Dong Shi's rhythm.
"Dong Shi, I want to ask you something." Qin Huai said.
"What?"
"I would like to ask you to ask Master Huang or Master Zheng about a person named Xu. He is a friend of the uncle when he was young. I don't know his name. I only know that he is the youngest son of the director of the cotton spinning factory. He is the elder who Huang Anyao just talked about. The main character of the fish feast is his birthday.”
"Just think that I need to accumulate materials to write a novel, and inquire from the perspective of accumulating materials. I want to know all his information."
Dong Shi was shocked: "You want to write a novel?"
"...That's not what I meant, I was just making a metaphor."
"Okay." Although Dong Shi didn't understand why Qin Huai was suddenly interested in a man who was now an old man, he knew that Master Qin must have a reason for doing this. As Huang Ji's official designated gossip expert, he couldn't do this kind of thing Just look for him.
"Just wait, I will definitely find out for you within two or three days."
After saying that, Dong Shi ran towards Huang Shengli.
"Master, Master, I want to ask you something!"
"Do you know who Brother Anyao just mentioned was the person whose birthday the Master gave him a fish feast?"
Qin Huai:…
It’s good to ask straight to the point.
As expected of you, Dong Shi.
