Crossing the Datang Restaurant

The snow rustled down and fell on the ground, accumulating a thick layer. Even in such a small town, you can feel a strong and warm atmosphere during the Chinese New Year. Every house is hung with fiery red Lanterns, red and white alternately appear, neatly written couplets in front of the door, and the smoke rising from the chimneys of each household, with a warm feeling.

Tang Guang walked over step by step, stepping steadily. The mother and daughter walking by had joyful smiles on their faces, and returned home with a hopeful smile. The little girl asked happily What did mother eat tonight? The latter touched his flushed face and replied with a smile that there must be something delicious.

Tang Guang turned his head, and with the white snow falling on his shoulders, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Although it is Chinese New Year, there are many things to do in Dali Temple. I just finished my busy work yesterday. I hurriedly set off this morning. Before leaving, Master Tang still had a somewhat relieved expression. Of course nodding.

He exhaled lightly, the hot air gushed out, and the surrounding streets were almost empty. Also, who would want to come out for a stroll at this time?

When you push the door and enter, the purpose of entering is a somewhat lively scene. There is an oven in this kind of place, and a big roasted whole lamb is tied to it. Just looking at it makes people salivate, and even more Not to mention the bright part of the hall, you can almost vaguely see the almost full dining tables inside.

Rong Yushu is roasting the sheep.

When it comes to roasted whole lamb, it is really Rong Yushu's favorite.Although it is said that the mutton from the Central Plains has a bit more mutton smell than the mutton from the upper grassland, it is the same when roasted.

I specially picked a very big sheep, probably weighing more than 200 catties, which was already the largest at that time. The person who didn’t sell the sheep removed the skin, and bought a whole sheep. The skin was a little troublesome. After all the wool on the surface is shaved, the sheep needs to be marinated overnight, and then it will take at least one day to roast it.

Unpeeled sheep tastes the best. The fat inside has been roasted and all overflowed, forming oily and slippery marks on the surface. The brown and black lamb exudes a strong cumin smell.

Rong Yushu was moved to tears, did you know that?I have always wanted to roast a sheep like this before, but I was afraid that it would be too extravagant, so I didn’t do it all the time. Now it’s all right. When I come here, the money I spent is not my own, ha ha.

He felt that his waist was sore and his back was sore. It took him nearly a day to keep turning the rack, just to make all aspects of it receive fire, so that it could be regarded as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and numb. tasty.

Father still had sharp eyes, seeing Tang Guang came back, he quickly waved his hands and shouted loudly, immediately, everyone turned their eyes away, and the master even ruthlessly said: "You bastard, you don't know how to come back sooner!" Is it? It's such a time!!"

It was the first time that Tang Guang rushed to apologize for Master's words. Looking at everyone, they seemed to be waiting for him, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and said, "Sorry, I'm late." But his eyes turned involuntarily Rong Yushu next to the fire stand, his face was stained with something, and it became dark. The only thing that can be distinguished is the pair of bright eyes, shining with joy. In the dark night, against the fire beside him, he looks like It became even more radiant.

He simply raised his feet and walked towards Rong Yushu. Rong Yushu walked over first, grabbed Tang Guang's shoulders and dragged him in, and said urgently: "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you alone, hurry up and start dinner." Let's go." Ah Fu sat on the stool and put his head on the table, like a poor puppy outside in the cold winter months, with Uncle An beside him, seeing Tang Guang cross the door When I entered, I was a little excited.

Tang Guang looked at the dishes on the table. There were all chicken, duck and fish, and there were other dishes with rich colors. The strong aroma rushed into his nostrils. There were faint scents of wine, vegetables, and a warm atmosphere. A warm feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.

Uncle An's eyes were actually on the roasted whole lamb outside, and he said with covetousness: "When will the roasted whole lamb be eaten? Or else, let's eat the roasted whole lamb first. If it's cold, it won't taste good."

Rong Yushu narrowed his eyes, and said quite imposingly: "Don't even think about it, there is a fire there, how could it be cold, or you can choose, if you eat roasted whole lamb, you won't eat the food inside."

Uncle An curled his lips, knowing that this was impossible, so he ate the food on the table peacefully.

He Yi helped to arrange the chopsticks, dressed like a lucky boy, with a red hat, which looked extraordinarily pleasing, and on this New Year's Eve, there was a happy smile on his face.

On the table of the Chinese New Year feast, there must be a chicken. There are some herbs in the middle of the chicken belly. It tastes very fragrant when squatting in the soup, which represents good luck.

There must also be a fish, steamed mandarin fish, put ginger shreds, the meat of mandarin fish is relatively delicate, so it is delicious enough when dipped in soy sauce, which means that there will be more than every year.

There is also duck feet vermicelli, stewed in a large casserole, the soup is rich, with vermicelli brown sauce, steaming aroma, duck feet imply the hand of grabbing money, entrusting the wealth of the next year expect.The master's face was full of laughter, and he quickly picked out a duck's foot and put it in his bowl.

There is also rice in a bamboo tube, which contains fresh rice, millet, and the previous bacon sausage, which are steamed in a bamboo tube. The bamboo tube rice like this is not watery, and the salty bacon is mixed in the middle of the rice. Fragrance, and the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and the condensation in the middle is very tight. When the small bamboo joints are pulled apart, the rice in it can obviously become jointed, which is very interesting.

Ming Geer specially made this dish for the young master. I hope the young master can be promoted steadily and tomorrow's autumn will be smooth.

There is also raw fried eel. The eel is cut into flower-like shapes and fried with scallions and other vegetables. It is soft, tender and smooth, and the meat is delicate.

The most eye-catching thing on the table is the carp rice cake. This is a long-standing work that Rong Yushu has spent the most effort on. He also made it at Qianshi Restaurant before. It is said that the response was very good at that time, and the appearance is the same. It's like a lifelike red crucian carp. It's bright in color and extremely pleasing. I heard that it was almost sold out before.

It can be eaten with brown sugar. Of course, it has a sweet taste, and it can be eaten dry, but looking at it, it is like a work of art, which makes people reluctant to eat.

Or the golden soup cabbage, which uses the most tender cabbage core, which represents "hundreds of wealth". The thick chicken soup is poured on top, and a layer of ham is placed underneath. The meat is tender and beautiful. The broth is rich and cooked with chicken broth mixed with ham, which is naturally delicious.

There are many other dishes like this, each of which has a certain meaning, representing the abundance and blessings of the coming year.

The final highlight is of course the roasted whole lamb outside. Of course, the most important thing is that Uncle An and Ah Fu have a lot of food. Hey, no matter it is Ah Fu, everyone else eats quite a lot tonight. Big, so the roasted whole lamb outside is naturally extraordinarily attractive.

If you feel that the taste of the roasted whole lamb is not enough, there is a dipping sauce on the side, which is a powder made of peanuts, sesame seeds, and soybeans, with some salt, and no pepper, because it is already fragrant enough.

Everyone has a knife of different sizes. It seems that Dad found it from Master's collection. It is too sharp to cut mutton, okay?

Rong Yushu has always thought that the most delicious part of mutton is the outer skin, which is crispy and tender when roasted, and it actually tastes the most flavorful, but sometimes sheep sellers think that the skin is still usable, so generally speaking, I don't eat much.

It wasn't until the evening that the heat subsided. There was nothing left of such a heavy sheep, only the skeleton, and the meat on it was peeled clean. Uncle An still wanted to tear the spinal cord. Open it and see if there is any sheep bone marrow in it.

Of course it did, but the process was a bit arduous, but fortunately the knife was sharp enough for Uncle An to eat the bone marrow inside.

Rong Yushu's stomach also began to feel a little full, and he couldn't bear to go to the side when he was halfway through the meal. Calculating the time, it should be midnight now. Looking at the dark sky, the stars and moonlight cannot be seen, it should be It was blocked by the thick clouds, and I suddenly felt a little emotional in my heart, thinking that fireworks are still not popular. If fireworks are set off in every household during the Chinese New Year, how happy it would be.

A bowl of wine was suddenly handed over from the side, and the faint scent of grapes came. Rong Yushu turned his head with a surprised expression. Seeing Tang Guang, the expression on his face was extremely gentle, and said: "Why don't you go and eat together?" gone."

Rong Yushu said with some embarrassment: "It should be because I ate too much before, so I came here to digest."

Tang Guang handed the wine to Rong Yushu and said, "Why did you suddenly think of coming?"

Rong Yushu said with some embarrassment: "I can't help it. I lived with Zhou Fuye and the others before. Zhou Fuye and the others went to Taiyuan, and they were forced to come here."

Tang Guang's eyebrows twitched, and he said with a strange expression: "Oh, so you didn't want to come?"

He quickly waved his hand and denied it: "No, no, how is it possible? The main reason is because of He Yi. Didn't you promise him before? I want to come and see him during the Chinese New Year."

Tang Guang's expression became more and more weird, the corners of his mouth drooped, his expression looked a little disdainful, and he said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, eat less." Then he turned and walked to the center of the field, leaving behind a bewildered Rong Yushu, hey, why are you suddenly angry?Inexplicably, silently thinking, Rong Yushu didn't know why.
