Like Yang Zhenxing and Liu Jianye outside the house, the children inside the house also ate happily.

"Well, this eggplant is so delicious! It's even better than the ones my dad brought back from the cafeteria!"

"Is this a fish fillet? It's so soft that it disappears as soon as you lick it with your tongue."

"Why is the scrambled egg with chives made at home not so delicious? Let my mother learn from you later."

"How dare you talk to Auntie like that? I'll definitely chase you all over the hospital again!"

Although the children were talking, they still remembered that they were in someone else's house, and they were not whispering in such a loud voice like they usually do when playing outside.

Compared with them, the He family's table was serious yet relaxed.

Grandpa He and his son nodded from time to time as they ate the food, while Mother He was busy picking up food for her children. No one at the table spoke.

He Shangchao looked at a group of children in the courtyard next to him muttering to each other, and wanted to share his feelings about the delicious food with them. He scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, twisting his body back and forth as if there was a nail on the stool.

But after being glared at by his father, he immediately calmed down.

After the hot and sour soup was served, several subsequent dishes that took a lot of work were also served, and then the steamed steamed buns in the shapes of animals and other animals were served. All the dishes for today were served.

Yang Xingsheng and three others sat in the courtyard to wipe their sweat and rest. After eating, Yang Zhenxing and Liu Jianye helped tidy up the cooking area.

Put away the things you brought with you, put away all the things that belonged to He's family and put them back to their original places, and then use the broomstick you brought to start sweeping the floor.

Thanks to the fact that they are all master chefs, no ingredients or even a drop of oil fell on the ground during the cooking process, allowing them to complete the cleaning work very quickly.

The sweat has almost subsided here, and the dinner in the house has been finished.

Several children cleared the table and politely left. After only the He family was left, a few people did not come out in a hurry.

Grandpa He drank water, looked at his eldest grandson, and said: "Shang Tao, how was the food tonight? Are you satisfied or not? It turns out you have been to the Jingcheng Hotel, how do you think it compares with that place?"

The banquet with friends was originally to celebrate He Shangtao's admission to college. As the protagonist, Grandpa He naturally wanted to consult his eldest grandson's opinion.

He Shangtao thought for a moment and then replied: "Well, I feel that the two sides are similar, between brothers."

Dad He also interjected at this time: "I just went there once last month. In comparison, the levels are indeed about the same. I didn't expect Grandpa Zhenxing's family to have such skills."

Nodding, Grandpa He put down the cup in his hand and continued: "Their ancestors were imperial chefs. There used to be several restaurants in the capital. It is not surprising that they have this skill.

Shang Tao, do you think it would be better to invite your other grandfathers and uncles to the Jingcheng Hotel, or invite them to come to our courtyard for dinner, and ask his grandfathers to host a table at home?"

He Shangtao said his thoughts directly without any hesitation.

"Grandpa, I think it's good to eat at home. Everyone eats in the yard, there aren't so many rules, it's lively and intimate. And there's not much difference in level between the two, so you don't have to worry about the food not being delicious.

If the level is the same, asking Grandpa Yang and the others to cook at home is much cheaper than going to a restaurant, right? If it costs the same as going to a restaurant, I think you can definitely eat better at home than going to a restaurant."

The son's words attracted nods of approval from his parents, sister and brother.

Seeing that the whole family was quite satisfied, Grandpa He made a decision directly: "Okay, since everyone agrees, then I will go out and talk to Zhenxing's grandfather to settle the matter."

After looking around again and finally confirming that no one objected, he got up and went out, inviting Yang Xingsheng and others into the house.

When everyone was cooking in the room, Grandpa He nodded first and thanked several people: "I can have a delicious dinner tonight. I have to thank Grandpa Zhenxing and several other chefs for their hard work!

"

"It's not hard, it's not hard. You can eat at home and be satisfied. I just don't know..." Yang Xingsheng stepped forward and asked the other party what he was thinking.

"Grandpa Zhenxing, don't worry. My grandson is very grateful for your help, so he just asked me to ask a few people to help buy a table of food and wine for the family in a few days to entertain relatives and friends."

Although several people were very confident in their own craftsmanship and did not think that the other party would think the food they cooked was not delicious, they still breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the other party's praise.

"I wonder how big the banquet at home is going to be? Some of them have big dishes that must be served?"

Grandpa He was born in Sichuan Prefecture and later came to the capital with him, so many of the rules in the capital were not very clear, so he asked: "What do you mean by this scale? What do you mean by big dishes?"

Yang Xingsheng did not find it troublesome and began to explain to Grandpa He: "There are many things to say about this. According to different requirements and banquets, the variety and quantity of dishes are also different, and some large dishes may need to be prepared two or three days in advance.

And production, just like making this sea cucumber, if you want to make it well, it will take a day or two. If it is not made well, then the dish will not be able to take shape. "

Immediately afterwards, some common banquets were briefly introduced.

Due to historical reasons, Shandong cuisine occupies a large market in the capital. Many restaurants are opened by people from the Qilu region. Naturally, many items from the Qilu banquet have also been spread to the capital. For example, the familiar eight bowls are from the Shandong cuisine banquet.

separated.

Common banquets include two-six-seat banquets with six plates and six bowls of food, and three-eight banquets with eight plates, eight plates and eight bowls.

The two large items mentioned here refer to the two hard dishes of whole chicken and elbow. If there are four large items or more, then add meatballs, fish and other ingredients.

Take two large pieces as an example. In the first round, a chicken is served as the center, and two to four bowls of hot vegetables are placed around it. The soup is served in the middle. Then in the next round, the chicken is served, and four bowls of hot vegetables are placed as a lining.

.

It doesn't mean that six plates of six dishes are served together, or eight plates of eight dishes are served together, but they are served separately.

In addition, there is the 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Banquet', which has eight meat dishes and eight vegetarian dishes. Each of the eight dishes and eight bowls shows its magical powers. There are also eight kinds of seafood as the main ingredients to make the eight sea bowls; the 'Ten Perfect Banquet', which means ten plates and ten bowls, takes the literal meaning;

'Bubu Gaosheng (climbing high) banquet' has four cold meats, six plates and eight bowls.

Others, such as the ‘four-level and eight-steady banquet’, ‘five blessings and longevity banquet’, ‘happy reunion banquet’, ‘four-season banquet’, etc., will not be described in detail.

After listening to Yang Xingsheng's explanation, Grandpa He probably had an idea in his mind. He knew some of the banquets just mentioned, and some of them were the first time he heard about them.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to Yang Xingsheng: "Then let's choose 'step by step to get a high seat'. I hope that Shang Tao will be admitted to the National People's Congress this time, and he can keep rising step by step in his future life."

The table was set, and several people began to discuss the dishes.

"There is no need to ask the ladies to cook for this banquet. You can prepare the ingredients at home. Once you have prepared the ingredients and want to eat the dishes, we will cook them. When the time comes, the ladies will make whatever you want for you.
