Three guests, please come inside.”The shop assistant of the Huiji Restaurant enthusiastically invited Zhu Pingan, Fatty, and Liu Dagger into the restaurant, and courteously guided them to a table and chair by the window.
“What would the guest like to eat?”The shop assistant asked enthusiastically after Zhu Pingan and the others were seated.
“What’s good to eat in your shop, look at a few more dishes, this male master is treating, see the dress code, not bad for silver.”
Greasy fat man not at all fake pointing to Zhu Pingan’s said, undisguised slaughter Zhu Pingan fat sheep.
“How many more dishes are a few?”The shop assistant laughed bitterly, then turned his gaze towards Zhu Pingan.
In his heart, the shop assistant was somewhat ashamed of the fat man, he was ushered in and out of the hotel, he was used to seeing this kind of bear other people’s treats, but he had never seen a bear other people’s treats who was still so lionised.
“Literally, more is better.”The greasy fat man said nonchalantly.
“More and more? How many stomachs do you have?!”Liu Dabao sniffed and couldn’t help but glare at the fatty.
“Hehe, your restaurant is called Huiji Restaurant, the proprietor is from Shaoxing, can your restaurant chef cook Shaoxing dishes?”
Zhu Pingan smiled and asked the shopkeeper.
“Your Excellency is really unpredictable, our proprietor is a Shaoxing man, our restaurant is a famous chef that our proprietor specially hired from Shaoxing, his best skill is Shaoxing cuisine, that is known far and wide.”
The shop assistant said back.
“Good, then the drunken chicken, drunken crab, drunken shrimp, fermented bean curd, fennel beans, steamed three stinky, Shao San Fresh, soy sauce numb duck, steamed Mandarin fish, Xixi tofu, dried vegetable buckled meat, mouldy amaranth stalks are all given to us, oh yes, don’t forget to give us another jar of Shaoxing yellow wine, can’t you have a dish without wine.”
Zhu Pingan, after confirming that Hui Ji Restaurant specialised in Shao Xing cuisine, ordered all the dishes that the greasy fat man had previously reported backwards and forwards, including Shao Xing Yellow Wine, not a single dish was missing.
“Little brother has 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 the surprise that Zhu Pingan’s memory was so good that he could not forget it; the other surprise was that Zhu Pingan was as good as his word and really ordered all these dishes.
“Brother Ren overpraised, I’m just more interested in food, my memory in this regard is significantly better ……”
Zhu Pingan modestly said.
“Your Excellency, ordering too much right ……”Liu Dazhou couldn’t help but remind with a face of flesh pain.
This dead fat man shamelessly rely on us for a meal, we are willing to invite him to eat is already a great favour, why should we order so many dishes for him ah, Gongzi himself usually do not want to eat so good.
At this moment, even the shop assistant is a little intolerant, whispered to remind, “Prince, you three order so many dishes, afraid to eat it, four dishes and a soup is enough, we have a large amount of food.”
“That’s right Gongzi, the other shop boys have said that four dishes and one soup is enough.”Liu Da Dao took the opportunity to persuade once again.
“That’s fine, if you can’t eat it, pack it up and take it away.”Zhu Pingan smiled and waved his hand, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the shop boy, saying to the shop boy, “More refunds, less compensation.”The restaurant was exempted from any worries.
At the end of the shop reminds the shopkeeper, “Please tell the kitchen to serve food quickly, my friend has not eaten breakfast.”
“Ok le sir.”The shop assistant answered in succession.
“Interesting enough!”The greasy fat man smiled with a big smile on his face and once again gave a thumbs up to Zhu Pingan.
Possibly because of the silver payment first, the restaurant serves the food very quickly, less than a tea time, the food and wine has been served, a large table full, the greasy fat man looks at a table of food and wine, smiling like a flower.
“Brother Ren, please.”Zhu Pingan lifted his wine cup and toasted the greasy fat man.
“Little brother, please.”The greasy fat man lifted the wine cup and said, then couldn’t wait to pour the wine into his mouth.
“Tsk ……Good wine, good wine, this rich and aromatic, at least ten years old wine, enough flavour, enough flavour.”
The fat man took a mouthful of wine and comfortably stretched the pores of his entire body, praising with satisfaction.
“Well, good wine.”Zhu Pingan followed suit with a drink and praised the good wine.
“Hehe, does little brother understand Shaoxing yellow wine? It is not that I am blowing, this world’s fine wine into a thousand mornings, there is no one out of the Shaoxing yellow wine its right. Why also? This world wine, there are a lot of grey, drinking thirst, and Shaoxing wine alone; the world of wine sweet mostly, drinking people in the body full of boredom, and the Shaoxing wine of the nature of the aromatic and mellow, go and do not keep, more than not the head, so that the world of wine, Shaoxing Huangjiu when not to let in on a.”Greasy fat man is an articulate, to shaoxing yellow wine esteem.
“A little bit.”Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
“Oh, how does little brother look at Shaoxing Yellow Wine?”The greasy fat man looked at Zhu Pingan with a curious face.
Seeing the greasy fat man looking forward to and examining the gaze, Zhu Pingan slightly smiled, and then without a trace of pretending a force, while shaking the wine glass, while slowly said, “Shaoxing yellow wine, taste sweet, colour clear, gas aroma, power mellow, in my opinion, this Shaoxing yellow wine as a clean official and honest officer, do not participate in the slightest falsehood, and the taste of its true and as a celebrity Jieying, stayed in the world, read through the world and the more thick the quality of its quality. ”
Zhu Pingan’s comments, completely followed the Qing Dynasty Yuan Mei “with the garden food list” on the Shaoxing yellow wine comments.
Zhu Pingan is actually not enthusiastic about wine, so the study is not very deep, but it does not matter, who let Zhu Pingan from the modern era, with hundreds of years of historical precipitation and experience ahead of it, I can not, someone else can ah.
Yuan Mei is the Qing Dynasty’s top foodie, he ate in this regard, than the delicious Su Dongpo but also several grades higher, can be called the first in the past and present food.
Su Dongpo’s eating is “to eat to relieve boredom” open-minded, Yuan Mei’s eating but rose to the height of the gourmet, literary scholar. Yuan Mei collected and tasted food from all over the world, commented on them one by one, and compiled them into a book called “Food List in the Garden”. Just like The Self-Cultivation of Actors, this book is called The Self-Cultivation of Eaters, and it is the perfect choice for foodies to pretend to be X. To put it in such a way, this book is the ancient version of the Michelin Guide. Zhu Pingan’s comment on yellow wine is quoted from the book’s evaluation of Shaoxing yellow wine.
As expected, the first foodie will know whether there is something or not.
After Zhu Pingan finished his review, the greasy fat man on the other side of the table, who was originally unimpressed, immediately widened his eyes, and was impressed by Zhu Pingan.
“Shaoxing yellow wine such as clean officials and honest officials, do not participate in a millimetre of false, and its taste is true and such as the famous scholar Jieying, stay on the earth, read all the world and its quality more thick …….The cleaner the official, the more famous the scholar ……What a little understanding, little brother you are simply, no, you are the confidant of Shaoxing yellow wine.”
The fat man repeated Zhu Pingan’s critique and couldn’t help but excitedly slap the table, praising Zhu Pingan.
