Mr. Minguo's kitchen

Yu Zuotang got up early in the morning, first opened the letter from Shanghai that came with the newspaper, and nodded while reading it, obviously agreeing with what was said in the letter.In the letter, Wu Shunyu said that when he returned to Shanghai, he would talk about the Fenglaiju meals he ate in Xiangcheng and the fairy wine he never forgot. Immortal Cooking Brew.Among his eating friends, no one believed him, which made him angry.Later, after the issue of "New Life" published an exclusive interview with Youfeng Laiju, the pictures were posted and there was evidence, and those people came to ask whether it was true or not.

But all foodies always have indomitable nature and perseverance. They can get up early and wait in line at midnight for a soup, or they can spend a lot of money for the legendary delicacies.Wu Shunyu, Bing Lebai and a group of eating friends are "like-minded", and they are all famous foodies.Wu Shunyu was asked a lot, so he simply wondered if he could take this group of people to the south with the train, hold a dinner party in Youfenglai Residence, and then publish it in a magazine.So I trust Yu Zuotang to ask Mr. Lin for his opinion.Yu Zuotang naturally worked tirelessly and prepared to take the opportunity to ask today.

Folding the letter, he looked at today's "Minbao" again. According to the Minbao, Song Yuanju's residence in Sanbeizi Garden in Beiping has recently gathered celebrities, cars and horses, and politicians who come and go. People from the Kuomintang, the National Gongjin Association, and the Tongmenghui often held gatherings here. Song Yuanju and Gu Jiangyan, the leader of the United Republican Party, had a good talk and planned to build the largest party in the Congress.Below is a black and white two-inch photo of two celebrities, one of them is wearing black-rimmed glasses and a suit, looking a little prudent and wise.One person described it as sloppy and bohemian, wearing weird clothes that looked like a kimono.

Mrs. Yu led Lin'er, who had just woken up, into the hall, and said with a smile: "Husband, look at Lin'er, he used to be bedridden, but today, when he heard me say that there is something delicious, he immediately fell asleep." I got up and clamored to help him wash up quickly to have breakfast."

Yu Zuotang put down the newspaper, squeezed his mustache and said with a smile: "Lin'er is like me, but what's delicious today?"

Mrs. Yu said: "At the checkout yesterday, the shopkeeper of Fenglaiju sent a small bottle of three shrimp paste, which is made from dried shrimp shells and shrimp brains. The kitchen made noodles this morning, so I asked someone to order it." Some, together with the buns packed from the restaurant yesterday, wouldn’t it be a good meal?”

When the noodles and steamed stuffed buns were served, the smell was hot and the sleepy people in the early morning were all gone. Yu Zuotang immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "This kind of breakfast is really hard to find in the world!"

After Yu Zuotang had a beautiful breakfast and enjoyed the family fun with his son, he put on his hat and went to the train station to pick him up.

At the station, after an overnight train ride, Song Yuanju, who was busy with travel, saw Yu Zuotang, and patted him on the shoulder jokingly: "Seeing that You Li has not lost weight, and his face has plumped up, I am relieved. So, this time, you have to go north with me to help with the affairs, and you can’t live here secretly! I mediated from the side, and now the "Minli Daily" has been approved to reopen."

Yu Zuotang felt ashamed when he saw that he was running around and working hard, compared to his thinner husband a few months ago, and he didn't refuse.

A group of people got off the train and went to the nearest inn to freshen up. Yu Zuotang also took the opportunity to introduce the people with Ye Siye, and also mentioned the relationship between the boss of Fenglaiju and Ye Siye. prepare for.Song Yuanju listened, but was very interested in the Boss Lin he was talking about.

"This Mr. Lin is proficient in agriculture. It is appropriate to invite him to work for the government of his country. The Agricultural Bureau is currently vacant. I wonder if he has this intention?"

Yu Zuotang waved his hand, and told about the fact that he had invited Lin Weirui to join the meeting many times before, but he had been avoided, and added: "This person believes in 'gentleman does not party', and he does not seek fame and fortune." Yu Zuotang Zuo Tang recalled the rumors he had inadvertently inquired about, and whispered in his ear: "I heard that Mr. Lin bred high-yielding rice seeds during his study abroad, and he has successfully tested them in the farm. The nearby landowners all bought seeds from him. It is said that Yield per mu doubled."

Seeing the ecstasy in Song Yuanju's eyes, he added again and again: "This is a rumor in the market, I haven't confirmed it yet."

The two talked for a while, and Song Yuanju was going to meet Ye Zhizhi in the evening, so he had to press this matter to discuss later.

Xiaobao came to the front, and flatteringly asked Lin Weirui, who was cooking: "Master, what kind of soup are you making? It seems quite troublesome."

"Cabbage soup." Lin Weirui threw pork knuckles, pork bones, fat chicken, Jinhua ham, and ham bones into the pot to stew. After two hours, everything in the pot was overcooked at this moment, and the essence of the good ingredients had melted into the pot. The soup is cloudy, but the aroma is tangy, obviously it is a carefully hoisted broth.

How could such a soup be just a soup for cooking cabbage? Everyone laughed.Lin Weirui didn't explain, and only used minced meat to absorb all the residues and minced meat in the muddy soup, and then sifted through it several times with a fine mesh. Finally, what appeared at the bottom of the bowl was a bowl of slightly yellow clear soup, as clear as boiling water.

The old leaves of the cabbage are removed, leaving only the most immature cabbage heart without a trace of cabbage in the center, poured with the hanging broth, and in the porcelain bowl with chalky white and yellow edges, there are a few pieces of cabbage that look like they are soaked in boiling water. Cabbage gangzi, it looks like there is no difference between a dozen bowls of hot soup on the side of the road for a few copper coins.

Everyone was stunned, and then couldn't laugh or cry, it was really cabbage soup.Dabao was the first to say: "Uncle, can I have a taste?"

"Save a few bowls and send them to the Young Phoenix Pavilion. Everyone will try the rest. After Dabao and Xiaobao have finished eating, make it for me to try. If possible, this dish of boiled cabbage will be on the menu."

Dabao carefully held the porcelain bowl, spooned a spoonful of clear soup made with several kinds of meat and meat, and poured it into his mouth.Full-bodied, delicious, without a sense of turbidity, all the flavors end up in the same place, placed in the most suitable position by a pair of skillful hands, and then together they deduce the most perfect boiled clear soup.The cabbage bangzi is made of the best yellow bud white, which is sweet and flavorful, as if it will melt in the mouth after chewing for a few ounces.Dabao seemed to be holding a rare delicacy, he finished the cabbage buns, and then drank the soup down to the last drop.The people around are not as lucky as him, they can only share with others, and now they are rushing to drink soup so that they are about to fight.

Shopkeeper Tong came in at this time, squeezed forward and said, "Fourth Master Ye let you go over."

Lin Weirui waved his hands, continued to stare at the movements of his nephews, and said, "Let him eat by himself, he's not a three-year-old anymore, he needs someone to accompany him to eat."

Shopkeeper Tong laughed, that fourth master Ye was a high-ranking person at first glance, and anyone who could get along with him must be either rich or noble. Even he could tell that fourth master Ye was introducing contacts for his young and old. Why do you still despise it?It is also very difficult to serve!

But no matter how difficult it is to serve him, it is still his own boss. After he persuaded him for a long time, Lin Weirui saw that the level of his nephews and nephews was not bad, so he reluctantly changed his clothes and went.

This time it was not disappointing last time, Song Yuanju was a handsome gentleman, very humorous, he did not talk about business at the beginning of the banquet, but praised the dishes of Lin Family Restaurant from the bottom of his heart.With such a savvy pursuit, Young Master Lin naturally looked a little happy, and he was no longer a vase.What's even better is that Lin Weirui also met the old customer Yu Zuotang while accompanying the guests. Yu Zuotang is a knowledgeable foodie, so he naturally praised the new dishes even more convincingly.In this way, the atmosphere is even more harmonious.

After the meal, Song Yuanju and his party bid farewell to Lin Weirui and Ye Honghu, and walked away with wind on their feet and happy faces.

Yu Zuotang, who returned to Youfeng Laiju after seeing off the people, told Lin Weirui about the proposal of his friend Wu Shunyu. Lin Weirui had a good impression of them, so he agreed.

Eating parties have existed since ancient times, but they are just gatherings among celebrities and people with lofty ideals in the name of eating.The more famous ones in ancient times are the gatherings of Liushang by the water and the gathering of the seven sages in the bamboo forest recorded in the preface of the Lanting Collection. It is difficult, and it is recorded in poems and Fu for future generations to sing.So this eating party is really not just eating. First of all, the people who participate must be well-known cultural scholars, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and seal cutting. At the meeting, I really can only eat, and I can't blend in with the crowd.Then, when it comes to eating, one needs to be elegant, sentimental, and famous!Have you ever heard of Liushang Qushui?It is to put a few floating wine cups in a small stream with nine bends and eighteen bends. The cups flow with the water, and whoever floats in front of them will take the cups and drink the wine, and then compose a poem.Is it elegant?Is there a mood?famous?That's it.Wouldn't it spoil the atmosphere if you put a bunch of chicken, duck and fish on it? It's very tacky!

Lin Weirui: I believed in your evil.
