"Please come in, three guests." The waiter of Kuaiji Restaurant enthusiastically invited Zhu Ping'an, Fatty and Liu Dadao into the restaurant, and led them to a table and chairs by the window.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" the waiter asked enthusiastically after Zhu Pingan and others took their seats.
"What delicious food do you have in your store? I'm looking at a few more dishes. This young master is treating me to a treat. I've seen you dressed up. I'm not short of money."
The greasy fat man pointed at Zhu Pingan without any pretense, and slaughtered Zhu Pingan's fat sheep without any concealment.
"How many more dishes are there?" The waiter smiled bitterly, and then looked at Zhu Pingan.
The waiter felt a little ashamed to face the fat man. He welcomed and escorted him to the hotel. He was used to seeing people like this kind of people who don't accept other people's treats, but he has never seen people who don't like other people's treats and have such a big mouth.
"Literally, the more, the merrier." The greasy fat man said unceremoniously.
"The more the merrier?! How many bellies do you have?!" Hearing this, Liu Dadao couldn't help but glare at the fat man.
"Haha, your restaurant is called Kuaiji Restaurant, and the owner is from Shaoxing. Can the chef of your restaurant know how to cook Shaoxing cuisine?"
Zhu Pingan asked the waiter with a smile.
"Young master, you are really unpredictable. Our boss is from Shaoxing. Our restaurant is a famous chef specially hired by our boss from Shaoxing. The best thing is Shaoxing cuisine, which is famous far and wide."
The waiter replied.
"Okay, then give us drunken chicken, drunken crab, drunken shrimp, fermented bean curd, fennel beans, steamed three smells, three delicacies, soy sauce duck, steamed mandarin fish, Xishi tofu, dried vegetables and pork, and moldy amaranth stems.
Serve, oh, by the way, don’t forget to bring us another jar of Shaoxing rice wine. How can we have food without wine?”
After Zhu Ping'an confirmed that the Kuaiji Restaurant specializes in Shaoxing cuisine, he ordered all the names of the dishes that Greasy Fatty had reported before, including Shaoxing rice wine. Not a single dish was missing.
"Little brother, you have a good memory." Seeing this, the fat man couldn't help but give Zhu Pingan a thumbs up.
At this moment, he had two surprises. One was that Zhu Pingan had such a good memory that he could never forget it. The other surprise was that Zhu Pingan actually followed his words and actually ordered all the dishes.
"My dear, thank you very much. I'm just more interested in eating, and my memory in this area is obviously better."
Zhu Pingan said modestly.
"Sir, you ordered too much," Liu Dadao couldn't help but remind him with a painful look on his face.
This damn fat man is shameless enough to give us a meal. It is already a huge favor for us to treat him to dinner. Why do we order so many dishes for him? The young master himself is usually reluctant to eat such good things.
At this moment, even the waiter couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him in a low voice, "Sir, the three of you ordered so many dishes, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish them all. Four dishes and one soup are enough. We have a large portion."
"Young Master, the waiter at the store has said that four dishes and one soup will be enough." Liu Dadao took the opportunity to persuade again.
"It's okay, I can't eat it and take it away." Zhu Ping'an waved his hand with a smile, took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the waiter, and said to the waiter, "Refund more, make up less." This saves the restaurant from worries.
Finally, he reminded the waiter, "Please tell the chef to serve the food quickly. My friend hasn't had breakfast yet."
"Okay, sir." The waiter responded repeatedly.
"That's interesting!" The greasy fat man smiled happily and once again extended his thumb to Zhu Pingan.
Perhaps because of the money paid in advance, the restaurant served food very quickly. In less than a minute of tea, the food and wine were already served, and a large table was laid out. The greasy fat man looked at the table of wine and food, smiling like a flower.
Same.
"My dear friend, please." Zhu Ping'an raised his wine glass and greeted the greasy fat man.
"Little brother, please." The greasy fat man picked up the wine glass, said this, and poured the wine into his mouth impatiently.
"Tsk, good wine, good wine. This fragrant aroma is at least ten years old. It has enough taste and taste."
The fat man took a sip of wine and felt so comfortable that the pores all over his body relaxed, and he praised with satisfaction.
"Well, good wine." Zhu Ping'an also drank it in one gulp and praised the wine.
"Haha, little brother, do you understand Shaoxing rice wine?! I'm not bragging. There are thousands of fine wines in the world, but there is no one like Shaoxing rice wine. Why?! There are so many ash in the world of wine. Drinking it is disgusting.
Thirst, but Shaoxing wine is unique. Most of the wines in the world are sweet, and drinking it makes the body full of stuffiness. However, Shaoxing wine is fragrant and mellow in nature. It can be walked without keeping, and there is no end when there is too much. Therefore, it is said that the best wine in the world is Shaoxing rice wine.
I will do my best to take the lead." The greasy fat man is a eloquent person and highly praises Shaoxing rice wine.
"I understand a little bit." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
"Oh, little brother, what do you think of Shaoxing rice wine?" The greasy fat man looked at Zhu Pingan with curiosity.
Seeing the greasy fat man's expectant and appraising eyes, Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, then pretended to be cool without leaving any trace, while shaking the wine glass, he said slowly, "Shaoxing rice wine has a sweet taste, clear color, aroma and power.
Pure and mellow, in my opinion, this Shaoxing rice wine is like that of an upright and upright official, without a trace of falsehood, and its taste is authentic and like that of famous celebrities and senior elites, who have stayed in the world for a long time and have learned all about the world, and the quality is getting richer."
Zhu Ping'an's comments completely follow Yuan Mei's comments on Shaoxing rice wine in "Suiyuan Food List" of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, Zhu Pingan is not keen on wine, so his research is not very deep, but it doesn't matter. Who makes Zhu Pingan come from modern times and have hundreds of years of historical accumulation and experience? I can't do it, but someone can.
Yuan Mei was the top foodie in the Qing Dynasty. In terms of food, he was several levels higher than the delicious Su Dongpo. He could be called the best foodie in history.
Su Dongpo's eating was an open-minded approach to "relieving boredom with food", while Yuan Mei's eating has risen to the level of a gourmet and a writer. Yuan Mei collected and tasted delicacies from all over the world, commented on them one by one, and compiled them into a book called "Suiyuan Food List". Just like
Like "The Self-Cultivation of an Actor", this book can be called "The Self-Cultivation of a Foodie" and is the best choice for foodies to pretend to be sexy. In one sentence, this book is the ancient version of the "Michelin Guide".
Zhu Ping'an's comment on rice wine is quoted from this book's evaluation of Shaoxing rice wine.
Sure enough, as soon as the No. 1 foodie made a move, he would immediately know whether it was there or not.
After Zhu Pingan finished his comments, the eyes of the greasy fat man opposite him that were originally disapproving immediately widened and he looked at Zhu Pingan with admiration.
"Shaoxing rice wine is like that of upright officials and honest officials. There is no trace of falsehood, and its taste is authentic. It is also like the famous celebrities and senior elites. They have stayed in the world for a long time. They have learned so much about the world and the quality becomes richer. Incorruptible officials and honest officials, famous celebrities and senior elites know a thing or two about it. Little
Brother, you are simply, no, you are the confidant of Shaoxing Rice Wine."
The fat man repeated Zhu Pingan's comments, couldn't help but excitedly slapped the table and praised Zhu Pingan.
