“Old si, old Huang, I’m sorry for offending you just now.” Young MA said, a little embarrassed.
If it weren’t for the fact that he knew si Jinning and sun Ji, little ma wouldn’t have joined in the fight so abruptly. No matter how much of an equivalent exchange he had made, it couldn’t hide the fact that his behavior was crazy. Well, even if he knew them, there was something wrong with his behavior.
Xiao Ma was trying to stimulate Sun Ji’s memory, so he didn’t tell him in advance. Unfortunately, he obviously overestimated Sun Ji’s memory ability and almost made a fool of himself.
It was also difficult to explain in a few words, but it was diluted by the joy of reuniting with old friends. The two elders were also very happy to see Xiao Ma and sun Ji.
How many childhood friends could a grown man have? There was only one si Jinning anyway.
With his sharp ears and sharp eyes, Yuan Zhou had witnessed the dramatic change from the beginning to the end. Originally, he had planned to ask the queuing Committee to have a talk with Xiao Ma after the meal ended. Snatching food from a stranger would really affect the appetites of other customers. Even Wu Hai knew how to snatch the grass by his own nest.
However, it turned out that Yuan Zhou really didn’t need to worry too much about the customers. They were a group of mature customers and could handle everything by themselves.
On the other hand, Young MA and the others were still busy.
“Lulu dan, you went back to your hometown after leaving the troupe. What are you doing now?” Sun Ji asked.
When the troupe was dismissed, everyone had gone their separate ways. He had gone home, and lingdan had also said that he was going home. He knew that lingdan was from Sichuan, so he asked.
“Hehe, I’m in my old line of work. I’m working in the cultural research Society. I’m just protecting and researching some of our country’s traditional folk arts.” Little ma said.
“Then you got what you wanted. That’s good.” Sun Ji said.
Back then, the troupe had disbanded in line with the current situation, but Xiao Ma had been very reluctant to leave. He had often said that these cultural relics needed to be protected. Now, Xiao Ma’s job could be considered professional.
......
“Yeah, I’m doing it because of the nature of this job.” Xiao Ma said with a smile.
Although they were all in different jobs and of different ages, they were almost in the same circle. Their conversations were quite harmonious, and their relationship was getting closer. This was different from when they were fighting for food just now. At that time, there was a bit of hostility.
As for the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou, whoever ate them would know.
Before they could have a deep conversation, the new dish was served. This time, it wasn’t the desserts si Jinning and the others had ordered, but the dishes ordered by Xiao Ma.
“Why does this smell feel a little familiar?” Sun Ji sniffed hard.
He still felt that the rich and fresh fragrance was slightly familiar. He didn’t know if it was because Xiao Ma had opened the door to his memory, but he felt that this fragrance was familiar, as if it had existed in his memory for a long time.
“Of course you’re familiar with it. I ordered it especially for you. Do you still remember the time when we were performing opera in Greenwillow village? you couldn’t forget that bowl of extremely fragrant dish served by the Wang family. I only found out about it later on. That dish is stewed raw. You can try it this time. Boss Yuan is definitely making this dish.” Xiao Ma gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
As soon as he heard Xiao Ma say this, Sun Ji finally removed the veil that hid his memory. It was as if he had returned to that era and smelled the rich and mellow taste at that time.
Even his mouth automatically secreted a lot of saliva to help. He was very active.
“Then I’ll have to try it.” Sun Ji said.
Even si Jinning and Jin Jianhua became interested. Apparently, according to little ma, this was a delicacy that Sun Ji had been thinking about for 20 years. It was definitely a top-grade dish that Sun Ji had been thinking about for so long. Coupled with Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills, it was really worth looking forward to.
“In terms of the fragrance, crisp, mellow, and thick taste, Jinling is the best at stewing raw knocking.” In the past, many scholars and calligraphers were good at eating. After many dishes were inscribed by scholars, their value would double. Even if it was not like ‘carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, its value would be 10 times higher’, it was still 10 times higher.
In fact, stewed raw fish was a seasonal dish. It was best to eat it before and after the Qingming Festival. However, in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, with the help of the system, the season was just so-so. No matter when the ingredients were eaten, it was always the time when they were the fattest.
When the stewed raw fish was placed on the table, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up. The white and crystal clear pigeon egg was stained with the rich sauce, but its crystal clear Essence could still be seen. The beautiful eel pieces that looked like sesame flowers were even more beautiful. With the rich sauce, it appeared even more rich and delicious.
This was what pony had ordered, so he directly greeted him,””Old si, old Huang, Ji Xiang, try it. Don’t stand on ceremony. I didn’t stand on ceremony when I ate your food just now. You can only earn back if you eat more.”
As he spoke, he took the lead and put a piece of eel into his mouth. From his familiar posture, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had eaten this dish.
In fact, this dish was slightly expensive. Xiao Ma had only eaten it twice, and he only ate it once a month. This time, he had ordered one because he knew that si Jinning and the others had ordered for a banquet. If he wanted to eat their dishes, he would naturally order them. Even if it was a small amount, it had to be of high value. The second reason was to fulfill one of Sun Ji’s dreams. He had always remembered how Sun Ji had been drooling at the time, but he had not been able to eat it.
Now that he had the chance to help his brother fulfill his childhood dream, he naturally had to do it.
Upon hearing Young Ma’s greeting, si Jinning and the other two didn’t stand on ceremony any longer. They picked up their chopsticks and picked up the part that they had long fancied and put it into their mouths.
Sun Ji also picked up a piece of eel and put it in his mouth. For the first time, he felt what was called fragrant, soft, and tender. It melted in his mouth.
Because the bones of the eel were removed, only the soft meat was left. The method of frying first and then stewing was not a waste of resources, but a way to further make the eel crunchy.
“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious. The soup has soaked the whole meat. Because the surface of the eel was fried, the soup has been locked in very well, making the eel even softer and smoother. I’ve never eaten such delicious eel before.” Sun Ji couldn’t help but sigh with emotion while eating.
Of course, speaking didn’t affect his eating speed at all. The chopsticks that were dancing so fast that they left afterimages were the best proof.
Even though si Jinning and Li Jianhua didn’t have mouths to speak, their continuous nodding showed how much they liked the dish.
The eel meat was beaten with a wooden hammer to make it more swollen and crisp. After frying it, it was stewed. The process was complicated and varied, and it was a classic dish among Jiangsu dishes.
Different from the original taste of the ship feast just now, this dish was very rich and mellow, leaving a fragrance in the mouth. One could not wait to drink all the soup into their stomach so that it would not be a waste.
Some people liked the strong smell of eel, but Jin Jianhua loved pigeon eggs very much. He aimed at the beautiful pigeon eggs at first sight.
In fact, nowadays, stewing raw fish had been reformed several times. Now, steamed eggs with meat were stewed together with eel. Although they seemed to be unrelated ingredients, the taste of stewed eggs together was still delicious.
This was the innovation of today’s chefs.
Yuan Zhou’s restaurant didn’t exist in master chef Restaurant. What he cooked were the most Orthodox dishes.
