The first thing I heard was the sound of a gurgling stream.
The ice and snow outside does not seem to affect the place. Inside, there are birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and the scene of spring-like weather all year round makes people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Entering the store, the owner and chef is already waiting here.
"Lord God of Cookery, long time no see!"
The boss, Wang Hong, is a fat boss, wearing glasses and smiling, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
"Master Wang, long time no see. I remember that you left the imperial dining room less than half a year after I entered the imperial dining room. It has been ten years!"
"Before you left, you cooked a meal for everyone according to the old rules. I will never forget the big carp from the Yellow River!"
Wang Hong bowed to Ye Gui and apologized: "I'm sorry, I really don't have any objection to the God of Cookery. I left because of personal issues!"
"I know, otherwise you wouldn't have been so drunk at that time, hugging everyone's lap and saying that you couldn't bear to leave the imperial dining room!"
Wang Hong: "......"
"Lord God of Cookery, even if you don't tell me this, we will still be good friends!"
Ye Gui laughed loudly: "I haven't seen you for ten years. I don't know how good your craftsmanship is. If your craftsmanship is not up to par, then I can't let you enter the imperial dining room!"
"We are all so familiar, so it's okay to go through the back door. I don't like to go through the front door!"
I suspect you were driving, but I have no proof.
"Hahaha, just kidding, I guarantee you will be satisfied this time. In addition to the big carp from the Yellow River, how about another roast duck, and finally a braised lamb?"
"This is your home court, just make your arrangements. Remember to give me a bottle of Sprite!"
"No problem, please come this way!"
Wang Hong took Ye Gui onto a suspension bridge. Under the suspension bridge was a flowing stream.
Suddenly, the moment Ye Gui stepped onto the suspension bridge, the stream suddenly accelerated.
The stream that should have been crystal clear suddenly became extremely turbid.
It seemed like there were thousands of troops rushing towards me, and it seemed like the Yellow River was roaring.
Seeing this scene, Ye Gui said: "Master Wang, what are you doing?"
"It's fun, it's fun, doesn't it look cool like this?"
Wang Hong didn't know when a net appeared in his hand, and it was stirred in the turbid river water for a long time.
His face lit up as he fished out a fat carp from the river.
"Damn it, Yellow River carp, does your place lead to the Yellow River?" Ye Gui's eyes widened.
"Of course not, it's just to simulate the difficulty of fishing in the Yellow River, so the price can be more expensive!"
Wang Hong said, and everyone laughed again.
Ye Gui took a look at this Yellow River carp. It had a fat belly and an amazing weight.
I'm afraid this carp only weighs 2 pounds.
"As expected of the famous Yellow River carp, it really deserves its reputation!"
"The Yellow River carp, Songjiang perch, Xingkai Lake fish, and Songhua River salmon are jointly known as the four famous fish in my country. The Yellow River carp has been known since ancient times as 'it must eat fish, it must be the carp of the river', 'Luo carp, bream, expensive' Like cattle and sheep, they are considered top-quality food. The Yellow River carp is also famous both at home and abroad for its tender and delicious meat, golden scales and red tail, and its long and graceful shape!"
"Everyone must have heard of the legend of the carp leaping over the dragon's gate. That's actually the carp from the Yellow River!"
Wang Hong said: "Master God of Cookery, please take your time, I'll go cook first!"
"The place where you are doing is right in front, there is a small pavilion, sit there!"
Ye Gui walked over and said: "Master Wang was known as the Pistachio of the Imperial Kitchen when he was in the Royal Kitchen, and he was also very popular!"
He gave Master Wang a sign of respect, and then continued: "The production of carp in the Yellow River has gradually declined due to overfishing and pollution emissions in modern times!"
"The Yellow River carp, which was famous in ancient times, is also facing a crisis. Fortunately, after everyone's efforts to reduce pollution and delineate ecological areas, the production of Yellow River carp is gradually increasing!"
"It's a pity that there is still a big gap between domesticated and wild ones. The first is the size difference, and the second is the meat quality!"
"But I believe it is impossible for Master Wang to bring out the big domestic Yellow River carp to fool me!"
Ye Gui continued: "In addition to the Yellow River carp, Master Wang also talked about a Zhengzhou roast duck just now. This is actually a replica of the Imperial Roast Duck, and the taste is almost the same!"
"The braised mutton is related to Li Shimin. It is said that in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin led his troops to Luoyang to quell the rebellion of King Zheng and Wang Shichong. As a result, he was besieged by Wang Shichong's right-hand man Wang Renze and was seriously injured. At the critical moment, the Thirteen Stick Monks of Shaolin took action.
He rescued the injured Li Shimin and hid him."
"In order to help Li Shimin recover as soon as possible, the Shaolin monks bought a few kid goats, stewed the meat with Songshan spring water and green onions, vermicelli, cauliflower and other specialties in an iron pot, and then stewed out the so-called stewed mutton. The stewed mutton was not only
It has high nutritional value and tastes particularly good.”
"After Li Shimin ate it, he recovered from his injuries very quickly. After regaining his strength, he raised an army and put Wang Shichong down. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he still remembered the delicious braised mutton and sent a message to the top chef of Songshan to travel all day and night to Chang'an so that he could feast on the stewed mutton. For
In gratitude to the eminent Shaolin monk for saving his life, he issued an edict exempting him from the prohibition of eating meat and wine. From then on, Dengfeng braised mutton became famous throughout the Central Plains and has been passed down for thousands of years."
