Chapter 392 Extra Story: The Unscrupulous Chef Tang at the Dragon Boat Festival
Chapter 392 Extra: Dragon Boat Festival: The Unscrupulous Chef Tang
On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the faint fragrance of rice dumpling leaves floats everywhere.
Yang Jianxin walked into Lantingxuan happily carrying a large bag of rice dumplings and said loudly: "The rice dumplings made next door are all very fat and oily. If you want something to eat, hurry up and get it! They are still warm -"
Xiao Lin was lying in front of the glass cover with the lady at the front desk, watching Chef Tang perform his brilliant skills inside. When he heard Yang Jianxin's words, he turned his head quickly. The dark green leaves in the mesh bag were steaming, and the air was filled with
A special aroma of bamboo leaves...
Xiao Lin swallowed involuntarily and raised his hand first: "Me! I want to eat!"
When he got the rice dumplings, Xiao Lin was suddenly confused again: "This...how is this the shape of a bamboo tube?"
"This is called bamboo rice dumplings! Let me test you, why do we come to the Dragon Boat Festival to eat rice dumplings?" Yang Jianxin raised his eyebrows and asked with his hands raised.
Xiao Lin glanced at him and replied confidently: "In memory of Qu Yuan! Do you think I'm a fool?" After all, he graduated from college, right? How come even a primary school student knows this kind of common sense, so there is no need to ask him?
Yang Jianxin stretched out an index finger and shook it for a moment: "You only know one, but you don't know the other. In the Chu State, people used bamboo rice dumplings to commemorate Qu Yuan. There is a record in "Xu Qi Xie Ji" of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.
According to records, it is said that Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on May 5th, and the people of Chu mourned him. On this day, they stored rice in bamboo tubes and poured water to commemorate him..."
He spoke with a clear nose and eyes, and instantly attracted the rest of Lantingxuan's employees.
Chef Tang looked up and found that the people who were looking at him with their chins in their hands were gone. He was stunned, and then he looked out the window. He saw a group of people gathered somewhere not far away.
, in the middle was his useless second chef (as soon as the chef came back, Yang Jianxin realized his status very consciously) holding a green cylindrical object in his hand, standing in the middle and talking eloquently, with a very serious expression.
Chef Tang washed his hands, wiped them casually, and opened the door softly, ready to listen to what nonsense he was blasting again.
"The rice dumplings we eat now are just simplified versions made for convenience. Think about it, if you go from house to house carrying bamboo tubes to make rice dumplings, how troublesome it would be..." Seeing that everyone was listening attentively and seriously, Yang Jianxin's little tail raised.
My eyes were almost flying, and I quickly made a summary.
Chef Tang stood back and listened to the general idea, feeling extremely happy. This guy's historical knowledge was as poor as his adjectives. To be able to speak so eloquently must have been inspired by an expert. He touched his chin,
"Hehe" he laughed twice, and the raised corners of his lips suddenly made his whole face look cunning.
"You're not quite right, are you..." Chef Tang said quietly.
At this moment, Yang Jianxin was busy distributing bamboo tube rice dumplings to his colleagues who had listened to the story. He casually heard this sentence without paying much attention, and replied directly: "No way! I took notes word for word when the little boss said it.
Yes, how could it be possible..."
Suddenly, he came back to his senses and shut his mouth instantly.
"Oh——" Everyone suddenly realized again.
Just say how could such a superficial person tell such a culturally rich allusion? It turns out that the story was told by the little boss, and he just came back to show off——
Now, everyone looked at Yang Jianxin with a hint of disgust in their eyes...
…
Xiao Lin was given two bamboo tube rice dumplings, one sweet and one salty, north and south flavors. He struggled for a long time and finally decided to eat the salty rice dumpling first.
This bamboo tube is also very cleverly made. When eating, you only need to untie the ropes at the two ends and the middle, and the upper half of the bamboo tube can be opened, revealing the filling of glutinous rice and various fresh ingredients, and a stream of meat fat.
The aroma comes to your nostrils.
Pork and egg yolk rice dumplings are a very common variety. Xiao Lin took a bite of the bamboo tube without being surprised. As soon as he entered his mouth, the stickiness of the glutinous rice stuck to his lips. The rice grains have been seasoned and have a unique flavor.
It's delicious and salty, and there seems to be lard mixed in. It's a mouthful of meaty enjoyment.
Xiao Lin slowly felt the soft and waxy touch of the rice grains between his lips and teeth, as if he was wandering in a paradise of grains. His whole body was wrapped in the aroma of rice and wheat. When the salty and fresh taste dissipated, along with the unique sweetness of the grains came the refreshing refreshing taste of bamboo.
The aroma, just one grain of rice, has three different taste experiences, which shocked Xiao Lin.
After taking one bite, what was revealed in the bamboo tube was fat and thin pork and a large, round egg yolk. He took a deep breath and held the bamboo tube religiously.
Chef Tang smacked his lips twice and finally swallowed the rice dumpling in his mouth. He took another complete rice dumpling in his hand and pointed with the spoon in his hand: "This meat is good, authentic black pork, I guess it's better."
They are raised in captivity in the woods to the north. When did the next door have such a good supply, why didn’t I know about it?”
The woods to the north...?
Xiao Lin was in awe. Is this the forest he was thinking of? The black pigs raised in that place are very rare!
The rice dumpling in my hand felt a little hot for a moment. After one bite, it would cost...a lot of money??
"You don't eat salty rice dumplings? That's fine, give it to me." Yang Jianxin finished eating a whole black pork and egg yolk rice dumpling and felt that it was not very satisfying. He turned around and saw Xiao Lin who was dazed, thinking that he didn't like eating salty rice dumplings.
It’s time to reach out...
Xiao Lin turned sharply and avoided his clutches.
"Who told you I won't eat it!" He blushed and scolded Yang Jianxin loudly, "I...I'll eat it right now!" After saying that, he took a bloody bite.
Yang Jianxin closed his eyes. He couldn't bear to see this tragic scene. This child was really stupid. With such a big mouth, he couldn't bite the bamboo tube directly? Can those teeth still be healthy? He couldn't help but feel worried...
"Ouch..." Every second, Xiao Lin immediately let go of his mouth, holding the rice dumpling in one hand, covering his mouth with the other hand, and kept jumping. It hurt... it hurt! He felt that his upper and lower front teeth were about to break.
It hurt so much that tears came to my eyes.
Chef Tang couldn't stand it anymore, so he licked the spoon with oil stains on his hand clean, put it into Xiao Lin's hand, patted his shoulder sympathetically, and comforted him: "No matter how strong your teeth are, you can't do it."
Bamboo, you have to use a spoon to eat it!"
Seeing that Xiao Lin was silent and still covering his teeth, but looking at him with disbelief in his eyes, he patted his shoulder again and pointed to the spoon in his hand: "I've given you the spoon, eat quickly.
——”
Yang Jianxin couldn't hold it back, turned his back and laughed wildly.
Xiao Lin held the spoon and was about to cry without tears.
This... this licked clean spoon is given to others. The only one who can do such unscrupulous and immoral things is Chef Tang!!
