Zhang Shize came from Nanyuan to find Yang Fan, and happened to catch up with Yang Fan's family who were busy getting food.
When this animal saw Yang Fan's house cooking, he immediately refused to leave.
Xiao Niangpi was wearing an apron and was making a dough with flour on a eucalyptus board. Yang Fan was stirring the oven, adjusting the heat, and putting the pancakes brushed with peanut oil into the oven for baking.
Lin Yueru was responsible for stewing the braised pork. Dozens of kilograms of donkey meat in the large pot were bubbling and rolling in the marinade. Lin Yueru used a small fork from time to time to check the heat.
Zhang Shize volunteered to chop wood and light a fire.
The cooks at home used various processed donkey ingredients and began to prepare a donkey banquet according to the recipes given by the master.
The head chef Lao Zhang announced the name of the dish, his voice was cadenced, and it sounded very charming.
"Six cold dishes: donkey ears with garlic paste, donkey tripe with mustard, donkey heart in brine, donkey lips in ginger sauce, donkey liver in water, donkey mouth strips in soy sauce. Do you have any questions about the cold dish set?"
The two cooks replied loudly: "No problem, just half an hour will be enough."
"Twenty-three hot dishes: money stewed in astragalus red soup, donkey kick in abalone sauce, donkey skin pot with seasonal vegetables, kung fu donkey meat, donkey steak in sauce, roasted donkey tongue, donkey tripe with garlic, grilled donkey heart, donkey holy in abalone sauce, silver
Bud donkey rolls, nine-turn donkey intestines, thick soup donkey tendons, butterfly donkey health, crispy braised donkey willows, palm donkey treasures, cucumber donkey balls, pan-fried donkey steaks, aphrodisiac donkey four treasures, flavored donkey skewers, fish-flavored donkey shreds,
Stewed donkey ribs with ginkgo and gastrodia, braised donkey strips with cabbage, and rich donkey meat soup. Are there any questions?" asked the head chef Lao Zhang.
The hot dish team has more cooks, six in total. Team leader Ding Dacheng said: "We operate on a rolling basis, serving every six dishes, once every quarter of an hour."
"Staple food: donkey meat roasted, whole donkey stewed cakes, white cakes roasted, donkey meat dumplings, donkey meat soup noodles. This is the responsibility of the master and his wife." Lao Zhang said.
Xiao Niangpi raised her hands and said: "No problem."
While answering, he happily continued to make the fire-roasted pancake crust.
She used to be a typical person who never touched the spring water with her fingers. Mei Xiang was always there to take care of her.
Now, since marrying Yang Fan, I have found that cooking is a very happy thing. I have never tired of it since then. I often take Yang Fan to cook and experience the joy of cooking food by myself.
Today, the master said that each of the servants, maids, and servants in the palace in Beijing will be given three donkey meats to burn. A bowl of donkey meat soup, a cold dish, and two taels of rice wine.
The servants were very excited. The master and his wife were cooking and actually just having fun.
However, I will give everyone a portion every time. It is considered as a joy for the master and the servants. These things are different every time. They are all the things I have never eaten in my life.
After being busy until two o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet finally started.
The banquet was held in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion by the water in the garden. The pavilion had been closed, and there was a honeycomb briquette stove inside, which was burning warm. The family ate while enjoying the scenery of Shichahai through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on all sides.
There was a super large round table with more than thirty dishes on it. A rotating glass was used to move the dishes in front of the table.
"Wow, donkey meat turns out to be so delicious. Why didn't I realize that before?" The little girl took a bite of the donkey meat and almost cried with excitement. It was so delicious.
"Master, why didn't you tell me earlier that this food is so delicious?" Lin Yueru also complained.
Zhang Shize almost wanted to swallow his tongue. After a few mouthfuls, a piece of donkey meat was on fire. He had no time to talk nonsense. His principle is that when the food is delicious, it is over, so what is a waste of saliva.
"I only remembered it when I was thinking about other things. There are so many delicacies in the world. How could I think about this all day long? This is something I only thought of by chance."
Yang Fan didn't eat the fire roast, but had donkey meat dumplings.
I dipped it in some old Shanxi vinegar, put it in my mouth, chewed it for a while and swallowed it. I said with satisfaction: "The ancients said that dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground really do not deceive me."
Many people are not clear about the difference between Shanxi mature vinegar and Shanxi mature vinegar. In fact, vinegar that has been aged for half a year can only be called "mature vinegar", and vinegar that has been aged for more than one year can be called "old mature vinegar".
If Yang Fan wants to eat, he will eat the best. Yang's mature vinegar is produced in Qingxu, Shanxi, and is aged for ten years. It is the most delicious when dipped in dumplings.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru only dared to take one bite of each dish and carefully tasted the taste. Because there were so many dishes, more than thirty dishes, they were full easily, and there was still something they had not eaten.
Halfway through the meal, Yao Guang came back. Xiao Niangpi greeted her happily and sat next to her to eat together. The maids quickly added a bowl to Yao Guang.
"Master, the small train we bought has arrived. There are five locomotives in total, and more than a hundred carriages. As well as more than 500 kilometers of rails, sleepers, and other equipment. They are all in the warehouse in Zunhua New City."
Yang Fan said excitedly: "Great, I didn't expect it to be so fast. His Majesty has agreed to pilot municipal transportation in the capital. The goods have arrived in just a few days."
Yaoguang ate a donkey meat dumpling and nodded with satisfaction.
Putting down Kuai Zi, he said, "Don't be too happy. These things can all be transported by water. But what to do when we get ashore? How do we transport such heavy things into the city?"
Yang Fan was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
Yes, the small train is also a train. The head of the train is 20 tons. How can it be transported in?
Don't dare to disassemble this, for fear that you won't be able to put it back together. These are all debugged before being shipped. Daming does not have modern flatbed transport trucks.
Yang Fan thought for a long time and said: "There is only one way. That is to start laying the rails from the shore. When the rails are laid, just drive the train in."
Yaoguang said: "In this case, we need to add a new line from a city gate to connect to the ring line in the city. I'm afraid you have to communicate with His Majesty again."
Xiao Niangpi said: "Master, there is another way. You can take the boat along the moat to Jishuitan, enter the North City from the water gate, and follow the Shichahai to the Lotus Market on the edge of the North Street of the Imperial City. Isn't that the northern line of the ring line? Besides,
, the Ring Line has not been repaired yet. Only the Northern Line has reserved space for laying tracks.”
Yang Fan's eyes lit up, yes, this is okay.
Lin Yueru asked: "Master, what is the size of your locomotive? If it is too big, it will not be able to pass through the Water Gate and Yinding Bridge."
The Yinding Bridge was first built in the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of more than 500 years. The current bridge was rebuilt in 2001. The Yinding Bridge in the late Ming Dynasty was different from the modern ones, and was taller.
Yang Fan said: "It's ten meters long, two meters wide, and three meters high. The water gate is fine, you can get in. The Yinding Bridge is not clear, we need to measure it."
Zhang Shize said: "This dilapidated bridge was built in the Xuande year. It is very dilapidated. If it doesn't work, I went to Yingtian Mansion and said that we would fund the reconstruction of the bridge and demolish the bridge first."
Yang Fan was also convinced, but Zhang Shize, the second generation ancestor, had the courage to handle the matter directly. This method was the simplest. Otherwise, it would take a long time to go to His Majesty, which would be very troublesome.
Yang Fan made a decision and said: "Let's do it this way. Anyway, we have developed Huangcheng North Street and built a lot of municipal facilities. I guess Shuntian Prefecture will be happy to agree. We don't need to allocate funds from them."
Yang Fan said to Yaoguang: "Don't rush, let's set up the framework of the railway construction company first, and transfer all needed personnel from Zunhua. We are recruiting some local construction workers. In terms of materials, we will first transport rails and sleepers.
Ballast. Dig out the green belt in the middle of Huangcheng North Street and lay it here first."
