Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1360 Foodie self-cultivation

   "The three guests are welcome." The waiter of Kuaiji Restaurant enthusiastically invited Zhu Pingan, Fatty and Liu Dadao into the restaurant, and graciously ushered them to a table and chair by the window.

   "What would you like to eat?" the waiter asked enthusiastically after Zhu Ping'an and the others took their seats.

   "What delicious food does your store have? Look at it and add a few more dishes. This young master treats guests. Seeing whether he is dressed or not, he is not short of money."

   The greasy fat man pointed at Zhu Ping'an without any pretense and said without any disguise, butchered Zhu Ping'an's fat sheep.

   "How many more?" The waiter smiled wryly, then looked at Zhu Ping'an.

  The waiter in the shop felt a little shameful towards the fat man. He greeted and sent him off at the hotel. He was used to seeing this kind of person who treats others badly, but he has never seen a person who treats others badly and speaks so loudly.

   "Literally, the more the better." The greasy fat man said bluntly.

   "The more the better?! How many stomachs do you have?!" Hearing this, Liu Dadao couldn't help but glared at the fat man.

   "Hehe, your restaurant is called Kuaiji Restaurant, and the owner is from Shaoxing. Can the chef of your restaurant know how to cook Shaoxing dishes?"

  Zhu Ping'an asked the waiter with a smile.

   "My son is really a prophet. Our owner is from Shaoxing, and our restaurant is a famous chef specially hired by our owner from Shaoxing. The best is Shaoxing cuisine, which is well-known far and near."

  The shop waiter replied.

"Okay, then give us drunk chicken, drunk crab, drunk shrimp, fermented bean curd, fennel beans, steamed three stinky, Shao Sanxian, sauced duck, steamed mandarin fish, Xi Shi tofu, dried vegetables and braised pork, moldy amaranth stalks." Oh, by the way, don’t forget to bring us another jar of Shaoxing rice wine, how can we have food without wine.”

  After confirming that the Kuaiji Restaurant specializes in Shaoxing cuisine, Zhu Pingan ordered all the names of the dishes that the greasy fat man had previously reported by heart, including Shaoxing rice wine, and there was not a single dish missing.

   "Little brother has a good memory." Seeing this, the fat man couldn't help but gave Zhu Ping'an a thumbs up.

  At this moment, he had two surprises. One was that Zhu Ping'an's memory was so good that he could never forget it; the other was that Zhu Ping'an actually ordered all these dishes as he said and did.

   "My dear friend, I'm just more interested in eating, and my memory is better in this respect."

   Zhu Pingan said modestly.

   "My lord, I ordered too much." Liu Dadao couldn't help reminding with a painful expression on his face.

  This fat man has the cheek to rely on us for a meal. It is already a great favor for us to invite him to dinner. Why do you order so many dishes for him? The young master himself is usually not willing to eat such good food.

  At this moment, even the waiter in the shop couldn't bear it anymore, and reminded in a low voice, "Master, the three of you order 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 lot of dishes."

   "It's the young master. The shop assistants have already said that four dishes and one soup are enough." Liu Dadao took the opportunity to persuade him again.

   "It's okay, if you can't eat it, take it away." Zhu Pingan waved his hand with a smile, took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the waiter, and said to the waiter, "Refund more and make up less." This will save the restaurant from worrying about the future.

  Finally, he reminded the waiter in the shop, "Please tell the chef to serve the food quickly, my friend hasn't had breakfast yet."

   "Okay, Mr. Le." The waiter in the shop responded repeatedly.

   "That's interesting!" The greasy fat man smiled and gave Zhu Ping'an a thumbs up again.

It may be because of the money paid in advance, the restaurant served the food very quickly, within less than a cup of tea, the food and drink were already served, a large table was full, the greasy fat man looked at the table of food and wine, smiling like a flower Same.

   "My dear friend, please." Zhu Pingan held up his wine glass and respected the greasy fat man.

   "Little brother, please." The greasy fat man picked up the wine glass, said something, and poured the wine into his mouth impatiently.

   "Tsk, good wine, good wine, this rich aroma, at least ten years old wine, enough taste, enough taste."

   Fatty took a sip of wine, and the pores all over his body relaxed comfortably, he praised with satisfaction.

   "Well, good wine." Zhu Pingan also drank it down and praised the good wine.

"Hehe, my little brother, do you understand Shaoxing rice wine?! It's not me. There are thousands of fine wines in the world, and there is no one that can produce Shaoxing rice wine. Why?! There are so many ashes in the wines in the world, and it's intoxicating to drink. Thirsty, but Shaojiu is unique; most of the wines in the world are sweet, drinking it makes the body full, and Shaojiu is fragrant and mellow in nature, so you don’t keep it, and you don’t have a lot of it. Don't let me be the first." Greasy fat man is a good talker, and he highly praises Shaoxing rice wine.

   "Know a thing or two." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly.

   "Oh, what do you think of Shaoxing rice wine, little brother?" The greasy fat man looked at Zhu Pingan curiously.

Seeing the greasy fat man's expectant and apprehensive eyes, Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, then pretended to be coercive without any trace, and said slowly while shaking the wine glass, "Shaoxing rice wine is sweet in taste, clear in color, fragrant in taste, strong in strength Chun, in my opinion, this Shaoxing rice wine is like an upright official, not a single bit of falsehood, but its taste is as authentic as that of a famous scholar, who stays in the world for a long time, and the quality becomes thicker after reading all the worldly knowledge."

  Zhu Ping’an’s comments completely followed Yuan Mei’s comments on Shaoxing rice wine in Suiyuan Food List in the Qing Dynasty.

   Zhu Ping’an is not really keen on wine, so his research is not very deep, but it doesn’t matter, who made Zhu Ping’an come from modern times, with hundreds of years of historical accumulation and leading experience? I can’t do it, someone else can.

  Yuan Mei was the top foodie in the Qing Dynasty. In terms of food, he was several grades higher than the delicious Su Dongpo, and he can be called the number one foodie in the past and present.

  Su Dongpo's eating is open-minded in "relieving boredom with food", while Yuan Mei's eating has risen to the height of gourmet and writer. Yuan Mei collected and tasted delicacies from all over the world, commented on them one by one, and compiled a book called "Suiyuan Food List". Just like "Self-cultivation of Actors", this book can be called "Self-cultivation of Foodies", and it is the best choice for foodies to pretend to be X. In a word, this book is the ancient version of the Michelin Guide. Zhu Ping'an's comment on rice wine was quoted from this book's evaluation of Shaoxing rice wine.

   Sure enough, as soon as the first foodie makes a move, he will know immediately if there is one.

  After Zhu Ping'an finished his comments, the eyes of the greasy fat man on the opposite side who didn't think so immediately widened, and he looked at Zhu Ping'an with admiration.

"Shaoxing rice wine is like honest and honest officials, not a single bit of falsehood, but its taste is as authentic as famous scholars and seniors. It stays in the world for a long time, and its quality becomes thicker after reading all the world's knowledge. 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 patted the table, and praised Zhu Pingan.
