"Shanghai at night, Shanghai at night, you are a city that never sleeps. The lights are on, the cars are sounding, and there is singing and dancing. I see her with a smiling face, but she is depressed in her heart. Nightlife is all about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If you are not drunk, everyone will get drunk, and you will waste your time. "Youth" On the stage of the hotel restaurant, a slim girl is wearing a cheongsam, holding a fan in her hand, dancing lightly and movingly, her posture is graceful, her voice is gentle and gentle, it is a rare enjoyment whether you are watching people or listening to songs. . The most amazing thing is the decoration of the hotel restaurant, which is in the style of an old Shanghai dance hall. A group of young girls in cheongsams are constantly serving dishes, and there are waiters nearby who can greet you at any time. It makes people feel like they have returned to the Republic of China. Back to the Shanghai beach where artillery fire and prosperity coexisted. ¡°What a great place!¡± Cai Hongming sighed. ??Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the towering Oriental Pearl Tower, overlooking the roaring Huangpu River. Thinking about that period, all kinds of romantic figures have become a passing thing now, and only this surging river never stops. It really echoes the old saying, "Everything has gone, count the romantic figures, and look at the present." "Not only is the place good, but also the current situation. The food is good, come and try it. " Ruan Tianxuan said: "The chefs in this restaurant have always cooked local dishes. At first, the hotel asked them to invite them, but they were still reluctant. In the end, the hotel offered to cooperate. Although this restaurant is a hotel. , but in fact everything inside is decided by the chef, and the daily profit is divided half and half. It seems that the hotel owner has the vision. This seems to be a loss-making business, but it is actually a win-win situation. "It's really good, but the most important thing is that the chef has skills, otherwise the hotel owner wouldn't be so stupid as to ask him to cooperate in a low voice," Cai Hongming commented, "That's right, this chef is a top figure in the chef world in Shanghai. " Cai Hongming has also eaten local dishes, but I have to say that today's dish tastes really good. He likes one of the circles with grass heads. The circle refers to the large intestine and the grass head is alfalfa. The cooking method of large intestine is similar to that of Shandong cuisine's nine-turn large intestine and Cantonese cuisine's crispy large intestine, except that one is fried at the end and the other is braised. When serving, stir-fry the grass heads and put the braised large intestine on top. Because of the large diameter of the rectum, when cooked in a pot of boiling water, it looks like a soft round rod. After the intestine is sliced, it forms small circles, so it is called a grass circle. When eating, pick up the large intestine and alfalfa together. One is vegetables and the other is meat. The meat and vegetables are in perfect harmony. The most important thing is that the taste is very good. There is also a piece of jasper beef tendon, which is boiled with various ingredients and cooled into slices. When you pick it up, the pieces are as crystal clear as transparent citrine and sparkle under the light. It is soft and has a toughness when biting into it. The taste is salty and sweet, sweet and salty, which is extremely rare. There is also a local specialty called Nanxiang Xiaolong. The original name of Nanxiang Xiaolongbao is "Nanxiang Big Meat Steamed Bun", "Nanxiang Big Steamed Bun", and "Guyiyuan Xiaolongbao". It is also called "Nanxiang Xiaolongbao" and "Nanxiang Xiaolong Steamed Bun". It is famous for its rich fillings, heavy braise and fresh taste. It is small and exquisite in appearance, shaped like a pagoda, crystal clear and yellow, and tastes delicious. Nanxiang Xiaolongshuo has thin skin and lots of fillings, so if you bite into it, you will either be burned and your tongue will stick out, or all the soup will be lost due to a big bite. The correct way to eat it is to take a small bite on the steamed bun, make a small hole, then suck on it, sip and taste the soup, and then eat the skin and fillings of the steamed bun. After eating, the diners summed it up with one sentence: open the skylight in one mouthful, drink the soup in two mouthfuls, and finish it in three mouthfuls. Chuchu likes to eat Nanxiang Xiaolong the most, and almost all the Xiaolong on the table goes into her mouth. "Chuchu, is the food delicious?" Ruan Tianxuan asked. Seeing the little guy eating so happily, his own appetite improved a lot. "Hmm," Chu Chu nodded and swallowed, pointing to the dishes on the table and said: "This is delicious, this is delicious, this is delicious, that shrimp is not delicious. The shrimp made by my father is the best. Eat. Let me tell you, my dad¡¯s shrimps are so big. He slices them with a knife and puts caviar on them. They are very delicious. Uncle, you must have never eaten them.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten them yet. "You've never seen such a big shrimp before," Ruan Tianxuan said, looking at Cai Hongming, "You're bragging! How could such a big shrimp come from your farm?" Looking at the way Chu Chu gestured just now, the shrimp was almost one meter long, how could he believe it? "It's not the farm, it's the lobsters I caught when I went out to sea during the Spring Festival last year. I was lucky enough to catch a few." "I returned a few, and one of them was incredible. Do you know what the price is in China for such a big one? It¡¯s such a waste to eat like this. If you ever encounter something like this, I¡¯ve never eaten such a big lobster before. ¡°Actually, the lobster meat is not very tasty. If you want to eat it.¡±?I¡¯ll give you some nine-section shrimp, all 30 centimeters long. " When Cai Hongming went to sea the year before last, he caught a lot of seafood from the sea and put it into the jade beads. Because there was spiritual spring water in them, these things not only multiplied very quickly, but also grew to huge sizes. Unfortunately, Cai Hongming usually did not dare to He took it out because he was afraid of being questioned about where he got it. ¡°Really, I have never eaten such a big nine-section shrimp. " "Of course, I will have someone contact you directly when it is packed and sent over. " "Thanks then. " The two were eating and talking, when an old man with white hair and casual clothes walked next to him. The old man came to Ruan Tianxu and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xuan, what are you talking about? So happy. " As soon as Ruan Tianxuan saw the old man, he stood up quickly. Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er didn't know what was going on, so they stood up quickly. Only Chu Chu still kept her head down and ate without caring about anything. " Sit down, sit down, you're welcome. "The old man said quickly. Ruan Tianxu took a chair from the side for him to sit on. After he sat down, they sat down. "Hong Ming, let me introduce to you. This is the chef of the restaurant, Master Liang, who is also the chef of my family. An elder, we call him Uncle Liang. " Ruan Tianxuan introduced. "Hello, Uncle Liang. "Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er heard that they were Ruan Tianxuan's elders and quickly stood up to say hello. "You're welcome, sit down! Boy, I know you. "Uncle Liang said with a smile. "Oh, Uncle Liang, how do you know Hong Ming. Ruan Tianxuan wondered. As far as he knew, his elder's favorite thing was cooking. He usually had no entertainment activities except the kitchen at home, so he was very curious about how the old man knew Cai Hongming. "Can't I know him?" " Uncle Liang pretended to be angry, but he was not that kind of person. He quickly smiled and said: "Last time my grandson made a fuss and said he wanted to go to a movie, so he had no choice but to go along. Who knew that this little guy didn't want to go to the movie at all, but wanted movie tickets. As a result, he ran to redeem his favorite doll just after watching the movie. Young man, I contributed a lot to your box office for that doll! " "Then thank you Uncle Liang. " Cai Hongming was a little embarrassed to be said. " To be honest, that Super Bull is really not that good. If it were not supported by the dolls of Black and White and the various discounts of Super Barbeque Restaurant, it is not certain whether the movie would have exceeded 100 million. "Uncle Liang, don't you know? Hong Ming is also the owner of Super Manniu Barbecue Restaurant? " Ruan Tianxuan said to Uncle Liang. "Oh, you are really young and promising! Now you young people really can't underestimate you. Uncle Liang sighed, and then said, "I just want a batch of yak meat recently. I think the yak meat in your store is good. Can you give me some of it?" " "Uncle Liang, doesn't our restaurant serve Chinese food? What do you want beef for? " Ruan Tianxuan said in surprise. "You don't know, now everyone likes to eat yak meat. People who have gone to the barbecue restaurant say that the yak meat in his store tastes good, so I plan to bring a batch of yak meat over to see if it can be eaten. Can't make several new dishes. In fact, what I want most is the God Turtle Lake caviar called ¡®godturtlelake¡¯ that has recently been released on the market. I have eaten this kind of caviar. It is soaked with Chinese medicinal materials. It is sweet and salty, salty and sweet. It is not as salty as the caviar on the market. It is very suitable for our local cuisine, but it is a pity that it is not available in the market. . "Uncle Liang sighed. After hearing this, Ruan Tianxuan said leisurely: "Uncle Liang, now you have found the rightful owner. Hong Ming is the boss of Shengui Lake Caviar. Just tell him how much you want. It's just a matter of words. . " Uncle Liang was overjoyed when he heard this. He held Cai Hongming's hand and said, "Then please. " Cai Hongming thought for a while and said: "Originally, our domestic agency rights have been given to the owner of Qingyun Langyuan in Beijing. I can't interfere too much, but if the quantity Uncle Liang wants is not very large, I can call her. Ask her to send some for you. If you want it next year, you have to place an order in advance, otherwise this caviar will really sell well and the quantity will not be very large. " "In this case, then you first ask her to send me fifty boxes, and I will order more next year. " "Um. "Cai Hongming acted quickly and immediately called Qingyun and Jingxiang to ask them to solve the matter of caviar and yak meat. After making the call, he suddenly saw Uncle Liang's right hand shaking. This was the seventh time he had seen it. He couldn't help but asked with concern: "Uncle Liang, is your hand okay? " "Did you see it? "Uncle Liang raised his right hand and said with a self-deprecating smile: "This is the root cause of my disease when I was an apprentice in the kitchen in my early years. Life was hard at that time. When I was an apprentice in the kitchen, I would be beaten and scolded if I was not careful. Once I accidentally hit my hand when I was picking up something. I didn't dare to say anything for fear of being scolded, so I endured it.At that time, my family was poor and I didn¡¯t go to the doctor, thinking that it would be a long-term problem. Who knew that when I was young, I didn¡¯t feel it, but when I got older, my hands started to shake, and no matter how many doctors I saw, it was useless. I've now opened my eyes to it, just shake it as long as it doesn't affect the cooking. ¡± In the past, it was not easy to get ahead in some industries, and many people started as apprentices. Especially in the kitchen, this is even more true. When you go to the kitchen as an apprentice, you start by doing odd jobs, taking out the trash and picking up things, etc., and then you can go further. It's killing fish and ducks, and then maybe chopping things, or helping the chef. If you're lucky, you can learn something. If you want to cook on the stove, you have to wait and see. If someone gives you a chance, otherwise you may be the one in your life. It was hard to be a busboy back then! Even now, it is not easy for a new cook who has just left school to cook directly in a hotel. Cai Hongming looked at his hands and smiled. Said: "Uncle Liang, don't you know? My family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for eight generations. Making movies and opening a store is just my side business. Medical treatment is my family¡¯s main business. If you don¡¯t mind, can you let me see your hands? " "This is not good. Are you still eating? "Uncle Liang hurriedly waved his hand. Although he hoped that his hand would heal, he couldn't do such a thing while the guests were eating. "It's okay, let's take a look first. If you want to massage, wait until after dinner. "Cai Hongming smiled and said it was okay. Uncle Liang declined again and again, and only agreed when he saw that he really didn't mind. Cai Hongming grabbed his hand, started pressing down from the arm, and asked how he felt while pressing it, and ended at the fingertips. He basically understood the situation. Just now, he felt a ray of vitality in his hand and found that it was an old injury. It would have been a bit troublesome to treat it before. Fortunately, he practiced now. Some plasters will be given to him after a meal to stimulate the uterus and activate blood circulation. The results will be seen in about a week. After seeing the condition and understanding the situation, Cai Hongming and others continued to eat and came after eating. An unmanned room for Uncle Liang to heal his injuries (To be continued.)
