The 187th chapter digression dinner (1)
“That’s nature, that’s nature!
My Li family will definitely fully support the work of the magistrate!
In fact, the people who support the work of the magistrate will ultimately benefit us from the people of Mouping..." The head of the Li family said with a smile.
"Mr. Li has the talent of generals and ministers. He was born in this small county town of Mouping. He was really a talent!
Under the leadership of Mr. Li, the Li family will surely be even more brilliant!" Zhang Junping smiled and complimented the head of the Li family.
The two of them compliments each other and said some polite words, but they were not on the topic for a long time.
Zhang Junping was also patient and accompanied the head of the Li family to slowly pull it.
Usually, Zhang Junping doesn't like to be so stubborn. He is used to being straightforward and neat in his daily life.
Zhang Junping regarded the head of the Li family as a task he wanted to make. In order to complete the task, let alone chatting and having fun. In his previous life, he once lay on the ground for a day and two nights to complete the task.
Now the two of them are comparing to see who is more unbearable. Whoever talks about the topic first will be at a disadvantage.
After drinking two cups of tea, the dishes were served one after another.
"Minister, try this fish! This steamed yellow croaker has a tender meat and is smooth... It is the signature dish of Wanghai Pavilion!
The chef of Wanghai Pavilion once studied art with the master of Fanlou in the capital for ten years…”
"Okay, not bad, this steamed yellow croaker is really good!
However, it was a little lighter. If you make sauce-flavored yellow croaker, it would taste better!” Zhang Junping also commented on the steamed yellow croaker in front of him according to the words of the head of the Li family.
"Sauce-flavored yellow croaker? Is this a newly invented dish in the capital?" The head of the Li family thought for a moment, and had never heard of this dish, let alone eaten it, so he asked.
Zhang Junping brought out the sauce-flavored yellow croaker, not because steamed yellow croaker is not delicious. On the contrary, this steamed yellow croaker is the best steamed yellow croaker he has ever eaten in his two lives.
However, he didn't want to follow the words of the head of the Li family, otherwise, it would become a habit as he followed.
"Probably not? I don't know, but the method is very simple!
After heating the soybean oil, add onion, ginger and garlic, add soy sauce, stir-fry, add the big yellow croaker, wait until the two sides of the fish are slightly yellow, add water, simmer over low heat, and wait until the soup in the pot is almost the same, and you can eat it!" Zhang Junping briefly explained the method of making the big yellow croaker with sauce.
"Go, shopkeeper, call the chef here!" After hearing Zhang Junping's words, the head of the Li family ordered the people who were serving him.
The servant turned around and went out, and soon the shopkeeper walked in with the chef.
"I have met the magistrate, Mr. Li!"
"Just just now, the magistrate said a dish. I asked Chef Wang to come over. I wanted to ask if Chef Wang could make it!"
"I don't know what the county officials are talking about?"
"Sauce-flavored yellow croaker! I wonder if Chef Wang can make it?"
"The magistrate and the magistrate atone for his sins. The villain has been studying in the capital for ten years and has studied cooking for twenty years. He has never heard of this dish!" Chef Wang said humbly and proudly.
This chef Wang is in his forties this year. He has big arms and round waists, bulging cheeks, very rich and funny.
"This dish is very simple. Let me tell you, Chef Wang will think about it, it should not be difficult!" Then Zhang Junping said the way to make the sauce-flavored yellow croaker.
"In fact, this big yellow croaker can not only make sauce-flavored big yellow croaker, but also braised big yellow croaker!"
"Branded yellow croaker? I dare to ask the magistrate, how to make this braised yellow croaker?" Chef Wang was happy to see the hunt and asked quickly.
"Do you know how to braised carp?"
"I know! This is a famous dish that has been passed down from generation to generation, and basically the chefs can make it!"
"The method of braised yellow croaker is similar to that of braised carp!
You can try it yourself!
Cooking is actually about innovating and developing through continuous attempts!
If Chef Wang invents any new dish in the future, I can taste it on my behalf. When it comes to eating, I still have some experience!" Zhang Junping and Chef Wang were having a very speculative conversation.
The head of the Li family was not in a hurry, and slowly savored the tea and listened quietly to Zhang Junping and Chef Wang discussing cooking.
While discussing cooking with Chef Wang, Zhang Junping secretly observed the head of the Li family. Seeing that he was natural and calm, he showed that he was listening to Chef Wang discussing cooking skills with Chef Wang, as if he was very interested in cooking skills.
After a while of discussion, Chef Wang hurried back to the kitchen and began to try making sauce-flavored yellow croaker and braised yellow croaker.
"I didn't expect that the magistrate was so proficient in cooking!"
"Haha! What made Mr. Li laugh. I didn't have much preference in my life. It's just that the good words are so hard to control!"
"Hahaha! What's wrong with this?
Throughout history, many famous scholars and scholars have left behind many poems about food, which shows that delicious food and love to eat is an elegant thing!"
At this time, the waiter brought another dish, which was steamed shrimp.
In this era, although there were already stir-frying, there were not many varieties, and steaming was the main cooking method.
"This prawn has the freshest steaming taste and will not cover up the deliciousness of the prawns!
If your mouth is heavy, you can use soy sauce and vinegar to make dipping sauce and dip it!
When steaming, you can also soak the shrimp in the wine for a quarter of an hour. The steamed shrimp will have a fragrance of wine!" Zhang Junping simply turned into Tieguo and commented on every dish that came.
Each time I will say one or two different approaches.
The head of the Li family could only be patient and listened to Zhang Junping's comments on the food.
As he listened, the head of the Li family felt hungry. Before he knew it, he ate a lot and drank a lot of wine.
I returned home in a dizzy mood.
"Brother Li, what's the conversation?" The heads of the other nine families were already waiting in the Li family.
"Uh! This, I haven't talked about it today, so you can't be anxious about this matter!
We must first slowly establish a good relationship with the magistrate before we can negotiate!" The head of the Li family remembered that he was invited to Zhang Junping for negotiation. As a result, he only heard that he had to forget all the important things after hearing him talking about food, so he had to cover up the road in embarrassment.
“It’s still Brother Li who thought about it!
How about talking to the magistrate today?”
"Well, although we didn't talk about the serious business today, we were very speculative!
Next day, I will invite the magistrate to Wanghai Pavilion to taste Chef Wang’s new dishes, and then look for an opportunity to talk to the magistrate about our affairs!" Mr. Li sat on a chair, stroked his beard and said seriously.
It’s of course to talk about speculation. I was overwhelmed and drunk. If I didn’t think about it, I could eat so much and drink so much?
"Wanghai Pavilion launches new dishes?" The head of the Liu family was stunned for a moment and asked.
Wanghai Pavilion is from his Liu family, and his boss doesn't know about it.
"After the guidance of the magistrate, Chef Wang learned several new dishes!
You can try it. The sauce-flavored yellow croaker, braised yellow croaker, and East China Sea Drunk Prawns are all good!" The head of the Li family stroked his beard and smiled.
Chapter completed!
