Chapter 239: Long Fish Banquet (Thanks to Daxia Loves Eating Hamburger Treasure for the silver alliance)

The content of Uncle Wang's reminiscence this time was different from the past.

In the past, when he reminisced, he would start with the fact that he hadn't cooked the books or made mistakes for so many years, recall the glorious years of working at the Gusu Cotton Textile Factory when he was young, and then pick one or two negative examples for a sharp contrast, highlighting the excellence of his work ability.

Finally, he would briefly praise himself for having good popularity in the factory back then, being a good colleague of his colleagues, and a good accountant of the cotton textile factory.

Basically, it was all these.

But today, maybe the Three-Head Banquet was indeed too delicious. Uncle Wang's reminiscence was not his outstanding work ability, nor his good interpersonal relationship, nor the glorious moment of being commended by leaders, nor the turbulent years after being transferred away from Gusu.

But the food at the birthday banquet.

Uncle Wang directly started reporting the names of the dishes.

Soft-wrapped long fish, long fish soup, scorched tiger tail, dragon holding egg, silver silk long fish, silver silk fried noodles, long fish balls, long fish thousand, long fish crispy combination, long fish buns, big braised butterfly slices.

Reporting these dish names, no one present doubted that Wang Gensheng had Alzheimer's disease anymore. This memory was really first-class, remembering the dish names clearly after so many years. He was worthy of being the gold medal accountant of the cotton textile factory, a human bookkeeping book.

He always couldn't remember things. He forgot to bring fruit today, forgot to buy soy sauce yesterday, forgot to buy garlic the day before yesterday. It must be because he didn't take Chen Juan's instructions to heart. Xu Tuqiang strongly suggested that Chen Juan should carry out justice on Wang Gensheng when she went back. She couldn't let him go, and must give Wang Gensheng some color to see!

Uncle Wang reported many dish names that everyone had never heard of, and they were stunned.

Only Huang Anyao seemed to understand, a bit shocked and a bit confused, and only opened his mouth after Wang Gensheng finished speaking: "Uncle Wang, the meal you ate that day was a Long Fish Banquet."

"What Long Fish Banquet?" Wang Gensheng was a bit confused. He waved his hand to indicate that Huang Anyao must have misunderstood. "It was just a friend's 20th birthday; I went over to mooch a meal. It wasn't any kind of banquet."

"At that time, with my identity, how could I eat a banquet? At that time, we didn't have any wedding banquets when we got married. It was considered generous to buy some high-end candy as wedding candy."

"But the dishes you just said are the dishes of the Long Fish Banquet," Huang Anyao said.

"What is a Long Fish Banquet?" Qin Huai helped everyone ask the questions in their hearts.

Only then did Huang Anyao react that everyone present was not a professional, and explained hurriedly: "Long fish is eel. Huai'an is rich in eel, and local chefs are proficient in the cooking methods of eel. The prototype of the Long Fish Banquet appeared as early as the Qing Dynasty, and after being continuously carried forward by Huai'an chefs, it evolved into the Long Fish Banquet, which was once one of the five famous banquets in the country."

"The dishes of the Long Fish Banquet are all made of eel. A complete Long Fish Banquet has 108 dishes, which need to be set for three days. The daily menu includes eight big bowls, eight small bowls, sixteen plates, and four dim sum."

"Let alone now, even back then, there were very few chefs who could complete the Long Fish Banquet. Even if the master brought the apprentice, even if several big chefs cooperated, it was an extremely difficult thing to make 108 dishes all made of eel, each with its own characteristics, and without losing flavor in three days."

"Like my dad, he is already a chef who is relatively good at making eel dishes. His signature is Eel Paste with Sizzling Oil, soft-wrapped long fish, fried eel segments, and long fish soup are the eel dishes he makes more on weekdays. Really counting, he might know ten or twenty ways to make eel, but 108 kinds..."

"Even if Master Pei Shenghua Pei from Chengfangju came, he might not be able to do it."

"The dish names Uncle Wang reported just now can actually make a simple Long Fish Banquet."

"Soft-wrapped long fish, scorched tiger tail, dragon holding egg, big braised butterfly slices, silver silk long fish are all well-known dishes in the Long Fish Banquet. As a simple version of the Long Fish Banquet, these dishes are already quite good, and ordinary chefs dare not take them."

Qin Huai whispered: "The Master Jing that Uncle Wang said is your grandmaster."

Jiang Weijin, a god-man who shot S- recipes.

Huang Anyao was shocked, muttering, and even a bit envious: "My dad ate really well when he was young."

Qin Huai:...

Is Master Huang Shengli so low-key all these years? He doesn't blow his master in front of his son at all. Zheng Da blows it up, and Zheng Siyuan's eyes have light when mentioning grandmaster.

Uncle Wang was shocked, muttering: "It turns out that the yellow eel on that table was so amazing. I felt strange at the time. It was the birthday banquet of the factory manager's son, why burn some yellow eel. What is there to eat yellow eel? The fields are full of them. If the children in the countryside were not really hungry, they would be too lazy to catch them."

Chen Juan:...

Don't know why, Chen Juan now wants to carry out justice on her old partner.

"Which factory manager's son? You still know the factory manager's son? Which son? Why haven't I seen it?" Chen Juan pursued.

Wang Gensheng's face changed, not very willing to say, vaguely: "It's the youngest son of Factory Manager Xu of our cotton textile factory. You don't know, when you entered the factory, little Xu was..."

Chen Juan was also stunned and didn't speak.

Wang Gensheng looked at the leftovers on the table with some emotion: "If little Xu was still here, he loved eating the most. If he could sit here and eat such a meal today, he would probably be happy for many days when he went home."

Everyone didn't pick up the words, only Huang Anyao said foolishly: "That Factory Manager Xu must have had a good relationship with my grandmaster back then. Even if it was a simple version of the Long Fish Banquet, it was very troublesome to make a meal. It had to be prepared at least three or four days in advance. He was willing to make a Long Fish Banquet just for a birthday banquet. He couldn't do it without some friendship."

Qin Huai suddenly understood Huang Shengli's helplessness when watching Huang Anyao negotiate with suppliers.

If the young master could divide half of his talent in explaining dishes to the emotional intelligence of dealing with people, he wouldn't make the marketing plan like this.

It wasn't until the meal was completely finished that Huang Anyao reacted and asked Qin Huai: "Did I say something wrong just now? Did the youngest son of Factory Manager Xu have an accident? Should I not have picked up that sentence?"

Qin Huai comforted: "It's okay, after chatting for two more sentences, everyone will know you didn't mean it."

This meal started at 2:45 PM and didn't end until after 4 o'clock. Seeing Ouyang suggested in the group that it was rare for so many people to gather together, so why not go to Guanhe Tower to eat again in the evening? He had a coupon for Guanhe Tower that would expire tomorrow.

Group members responded actively, and Director Liu even said that it was still early, so why not ride a bicycle to exercise and digest food. She knew a very good place to ride a bicycle, which was near her house. It only took half an hour to ride a shared bicycle from here, then ride for an hour, and finally ride for half an hour to Guanhe Tower to eat, which was just right.

She also happened to send her daughter back to write homework, and then ride a bicycle.

Xu Tuqiang and Uncle Qian of the morning running group expressed that they could.

Dr. Zhou, who was practicing car speed hard every day because he couldn't eat Huang Ji's food, responded actively.

Qu Jing expressed that exercise after meals was also good.

Seeing Ouyang found that he seemed to have lifted a rock and hit his own foot.

Grandma Ding declined because she was old and her legs and feet were inconvenient, but she could continue to eat in the evening.

Chen Huihong slipped away on the grounds of sending her daughter back to sleep, and at the same time supported the dinner activity in the evening.

Chen Juan was very interested in this, and Uncle Wang excused that he had something to do now and could go later.

Qin Huai sat at the kitchen door listening to the news in the group, while listening to Dong Shi telling him the latest gossip, and the corner of his eye could also see Huang Anyao enviously telling Huang Shengli that an old man who ate at noon today had eaten grandmaster's Long Fish Banquet.

Huang Ji during rest time was always very lively.

Dong Shi's speaking speed was very fast, and there were 10 minutes left before work, so he had to race against time to finish the gossip.

Even if this gossip was not true.

Wang Jun seemed to be in love again, and the sixth senior brother's spring had returned.

Just when Dong Shi was spitting and talking about Wang Jun's girlfriend this time, who seemed not to care so much about appearance, at least not having such high requirements for the hair of the object, a waiter poked his head in from outside and said crisply:

"Master Qin, there is an old man looking for you."

Dong Shi's gossip came to an abrupt end.

"Talk later." Qin Huai left this sentence and walked outside, not noticing Dong Shi's sad eyes.

Dong Shi: It will be work later, the sixth senior brother will be back, how could I talk about the gossip of falling in love in front of him? Is my head that iron?

Qin Huai walked out of the kitchen and found that the one looking for him was Wang Gensheng.

This was a rare thing. Wang Gensheng last looked for Qin Huai alone when he was in Yunzhong Canteen. During this period, Qin Huai's separate small stove was not specifically prepared for Wang Gensheng, fearing that he would feel too abrupt. Therefore, although Qin Huai knew Wang Gensheng relatively well, the contact between the two was not much. "Uncle Wang, what are you looking for me for? Is it because Seeing Ouyang took all the packed food back and didn't leave any for you? I have to talk to him about this. Eating alone is too immoral. I'll call him now and let him spare two packing boxes for you."

"No, no." Uncle Wang waved his hand hurriedly, indicating that Xiao Ou was a good comrade and couldn't be wronged, "Gave it to me, the packed food was divided by head, one box per person, children don't have it."

"My family of two even took advantage and divided two boxes."

"I have a matter... no, it should be a favor I want to ask Master Xiao Qin."

Qin Huai:!

Favor!

Favor is good, favor is easy to trigger side quests!

"You say."

"Originally, I almost forgot after so many years, but Uncle Qian mentioned the double crab bun coldly last time, and I have been thinking about it during this period."

"I couldn't control myself and mentioned little Xu when eating just now. I know you don't know who little Xu is. You just take it as Uncle being old and liking to reminisce, liking to chatter, don't take it too seriously."

"It's like this, Uncle has a dim sum recipe here. It should be very difficult to make. It was bought by a friend of mine many years ago from a dim sum chef at a high price. Later, my father broke his leg and needed money for treatment, and I had no money, and he had no money, so he gave the recipe to me, let me sell it to change some money."

"I haven't sold this recipe for so many years, and it stayed in my hand. Later, I was transferred, Master Jing passed away, and I asked my previous colleagues to inquire. The dim sum written on this recipe seems to be lost, and Master Jing's apprentice Xiao Zheng didn't learn it."

"I know that learning dim sum should be taught by the master hand in hand. I only have a recipe here and no one can teach it. It is a bit difficult for Master Xiao Qin to ask you to make dim sum according to the recipe. Uncle is not deliberately making things difficult for you. Uncle may be old, and every time I return to Gusu, I think of things in the past. Once I think of it, I want to eat double crab buns."

Uncle Wang's words were a bit chaotic. Qin Huai was still listening and sorting while listening. When he heard Uncle Wang say double crab buns, Qin Huai was stunned, a bit surprised, and his voice couldn't help but rise.

"The recipe you said is the recipe for double crab buns?!"

Uncle Wang was startled by Qin Huai's suddenly raised voice and nodded: "Master Xiao Qin, you know double crab buns."

"Know some, I heard Master Zheng mention it. Master Zheng actually knows how to make double crab buns, but because of some reasons, he doesn't do it, so others think double crab buns are lost."

"But now is not the time to make double crab buns. Double crab buns are seasonal dishes. You have to wait until autumn when the crab roe is fat to make them. You give me the recipe now, and I can't practice it now," Qin Huai explained.

Uncle Wang didn't understand cooking very well, but he knew what seasonal dishes were.

"But I remember little Xu also ate double crab buns in spring. He also shared a mouthful with me, and it was as delicious as autumn," Uncle Wang was a bit puzzled, took out his phone, narrowed his eyes, clicked on the album to flip through, turned to the photo, and handed the phone to Qin Huai to see.

The photo was the recipe Uncle Wang took.

"This is the recipe little Xu gave me. There is a step in the middle that is separated. One kind needs to use sauce, and one kind needs to use fresh crab roe. Master Xiao Qin, look, I remember Master Jing could make crab roe buns all year round."

Qin Huai took the phone and looked. Good guy, these are actually two recipes.

One is normal, a recipe for making double crab buns with fresh crab roe.

The other is a recipe for making double crab buns with crab roe sauce that can be stored for a long time.

These two recipes are written very detailed, simply Jiang Weiming's same fool-proof teaching, for fear that the person looking at the recipe won't understand. It is specific to what should be done in each step, what situation is correct, and what situation indicates where there is a problem, which is also written out. It is no wonder that Uncle Wang can understand.

Because it is very detailed, the two recipes look very similar. Uncle Wang is someone who has never cooked, and his cooking skills are limited to cooking noodles and steaming buns. It is reasonable to be confused and think that the two recipes are similar.

The version of the recipe that Zheng Da didn't learn is in Uncle Wang's hands.

"Can it be done?" Uncle Wang asked.

"Can be done," Qin Huai nodded affirmatively.

Zheng Da knows how to make crab roe sauce, and Uncle Wang has a recipe for making double crab buns with crab roe sauce. The two are combined, can be done.

Too can be done.

Qin Huai didn't ask who the little Xu who gave Uncle Wang this recipe was, also because he had already guessed it.

This little Xu, the youngest son of the cotton textile factory manager, should be the young man Qin Huai saw sitting in the state-run restaurant in Gong Liang's memory, and also the foodie who liked double crab buns so much that he bought the recipe at a high price and gave it to Master Jing, begging Master Jing to do more.

What happened to little Xu later, Qin Huai didn't need to ask Uncle Wang, just ask Huang Shengli and Zheng Da, they must know.

"Uncle Wang, please send this picture to me. I will study it during this period, and I will tell you as soon as I have progress," Qin Huai said with a smile.

"Good, good, good, thank you Master Xiao Qin."

"Not hard, this is an out-of-print recipe. If you sell this recipe to Does Zhi Wei Ju now, you can definitely sell a lot of money. Now you let me see the recipe for free, and I earned it."

Wang Gensheng smiled, didn't speak, and left.

Qin Huai returned to the kitchen, 5 minutes before work.

Wang Jun hasn't returned yet.

Should be really in love, racing against time to fall in love outside.

Dong Shi put down the water cup and rushed to Qin Huai in one step, wanting to seize the time to continue telling gossip.

Qin Huai took the lead and disrupted Dong Shi's rhythm.

"Dong Shi, I want to ask you for one thing," Qin Huai said.

"What?"

"I want to ask you to inquire about a person from Master Huang or Master Zheng. Surnamed Xu, a friend of an old man when he was young. I don't know what his name is. I only know that he is the youngest son of the cotton textile factory manager, and he is the protagonist of the Long Fish Banquet that Huang Anyao just talked about, which is his birthday."

"You just take it as me writing a novel and needing to accumulate material, and inquire from the perspective of accumulating material. I want to know all his information."

Dong Shi was shocked: "You want to write a novel?"

"... I don't mean that, I'm just making an analogy."

"Okay." Although Dong Shi didn't understand why Qin Huai was suddenly interested in a person who was already an old man, he knew that Master Qin must have his reasons for doing so. As Huang Ji's officially designated gossip little expert, finding him for this kind of thing was right.

"You wait, I will definitely inquire about it for you within two or three days."

After speaking, Dong Shi ran to Huang Shengli.

"Master, Master, I want to ask you something!"

"The person who had a Long Fish Banquet made by grandmaster for his birthday that Anyao brother just said, do you know who it is?"

Qin Huai:...

Such a straightforward inquiry.

Worthy of being you, Dong Shi.
