Chapter 486: The Real Feeling of Return (Seeking Monthly Pass)(1/2)
"Don't be simple, these dishes are actually very skillful. In addition to what I just said, there are also peppercorns that need to be put twice to improve the taste, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome to cook at home." Old Tang commented endlessly, and said these things as if they were familiar.
Some of the people on the other tables were regular customers, while others were here for the first time. After hearing Lao Tang's voice, they subconsciously turned their heads.
But it seems that these diners today have nothing to be familiar with. They just looked at Lao Tang silently, and then greeted their friends who were having dinner with them.
Of course, some people don’t know Lao Tang, so someone on the table took on the introduction task.
When they heard about Lao Tang's origin, they couldn't help but think of the comments they said just now, and then looked at the dishes on their table, and they felt a sense of pride.
"Mom, the second dish is good, you can serve it to the guests first." Chen Nian took the second dish out of the pot, and then Qiao Zhaomei came up to take the plate and sprinkled with the coriander that had been prepared on it.
Then hand it to Feng Honghong.
Feng Honghong brought the pot and dumpling meat outside and placed it on Lao Tang's table: "The pot and dumpling meat you ordered is ready, please use it slowly."
After saying that, she turned around and left as before. In fact, she really wanted to listen here. Every time someone praised her son, she couldn't help but want to listen more.
But because the store was too busy, Feng Honghong had to give up this idea first.
After seeing this dish, Lao Tang's eyes lit up again.
"This is a pot bun meat... I don't have to eat it. It can be smelled sweet when I put it on my nose. If this thing is prepared, it is no worse than those delicacies in the sea. I tell you that the most popular dish in Northeast China is not abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin..." Old Tang said and deliberately paused, and the cameraman asked very tactfully when he heard this: "Not these, what is that?"
When someone praised him, Lao Tang was naturally happy, but he grinned and pointed to the pot bun meat on the table: "It's this, there are also the three fresh rice, the white meat of sauerkraut powder, the chicken stewed with mushrooms and so on."
While saying that, Old Tang picked up the quickie and picked up a piece of pot bun meat: "You see, this pot pork is very thin, so that it can ensure the taste. And if you look at the frostings on it, are they very beautiful? The frostings are too greasy when hung too much, and the less they are tasteless and not good-looking, but the frostings on the pot bun meat here are definitely this!"
He said as he gave a thumbs up, and he curled his lips in a very awesome way, and his head kept slacking up and down.
"I suspect that the boss is a rich second generation, and he is particularly fond of cooking. He goes to the local area to learn what he likes to eat, otherwise how can he get one or two dishes on this menu?
My old Tang traveled around the country for so many years, and I have basically never seen anything like this store."
Because most restaurants basically have a main tune, for example, most of the Cantonese cuisine are Cantonese cuisine, and Sichuan restaurants are basically Sichuan cuisine.
Occasionally, some dishes from other dishes that are more common in home-style, but they will never be a hammer or a stick.
But Honghong Hotel is different. Although there are more Sichuan cuisine, there are also many other cuisines, and Sichuan cuisine is definitely not a major player among them.
But no matter how hard they came here, they still had a meal, so Lao Tang quickly turned his attention back to the pot of pork with Kuaizi.
"I'll try it first." Old Tang said and put the pot of meat into his mouth.
In an instant, the teeth collided with the crispy shell outside the pot meat, making a sound of squeaking.
"It's not bad, the heat is quite good, and in addition to the shell on the outside, the meat inside is quite soft and tender, and it also contains juice, which means that the chef has fully marinated the meat before making it.
The sugar on it really tastes sweet, it basically tastes similar to what I had when I went to Northeast China.
Moreover, the meat can be eaten by a knife, and the piece of meat that was cut out was probably such a large piece." Old Tang said as he stretched out his index finger and compared it with his thumb for about ten centimeters. "But after the water inside evaporated after it was frying, the size became so big now."
"Then is it expensive for us to eat here?" The cameraman asked curiously at this time. Although he doesn't usually appear on the screen, he often talks in the video.
And he often jokes with Lao Tang.
As a result, Lao Tang couldn't help but put down his quick-selling after hearing this question: "It's not expensive, it's really not expensive. I dare not say anything else. Just the two dishes I ate, if I change to a twice-large plate, the amount of dishes will be one-quarter lower, and add more placing styles next to it. Then you can refer to the price of the place we went to a few days ago, which is more than 800 per person.
Or how did I just say that the owner of this restaurant is a rich second generation. He learns whatever dishes he likes, and his studies are quite authentic, which is quite rare."
While talking, Lao Tang used a spoon to lift a piece of Mapo tofu and put it directly into his mouth.
"It's really good tofu, this Mapo tofu is really delicious, but it's too spicy, but it's normal. After all, Sichuan cuisine is like this." Old Tang said as he took a big mouthful of rice.
But after eating the rice, he felt a little spicy in his mouth, so he picked up the iced sour plum soup on the table and took a sip.
"The spicy Sichuan cuisine is different from the spicy Hunan cuisine and the spicy Hunan and Yunnan. These spicy dishes are... " Old Tang suddenly stopped as he said.
Just when everyone didn't know why he looked like this, Old Tang suddenly turned his gaze to the sour plum soup on the table.
He couldn't help but pick it up and took a sip. This time he didn't rush to swallow it, but instead smacked his lips.
"Why does this sour plum soup have the taste of Xinyuanzhai?"
"But it's Xinyuanzhai, it's a bit different..."
"But what I can guarantee is that this sour plum soup is definitely not the sour plum powder sold outside, and it is even different from the drinks bought from outside!"
"If you taste it carefully, you can obviously taste the taste of hawthorn, black plum, and tangerine peel. But in addition, there should be a lot of medicinal materials. I know some, but I am not sure that it is the same as the one placed by the owner of this store."
Old Tang said in a mess.
At this moment, Feng Honghong came to the third dish, Rouge Goose Score.
Old Tang also took this opportunity to ask: "Sister, I want to ask, do we make the sour plum soup here ourselves?"
Feng Honghong never dared to disturb the other party before, because if a young man came to eat, even if the other party was a big internet celebrity with hundreds of millions of fans, Feng Honghong was at least an elder, so she could chat with the other party for a few words.
But Lao Tang looked like a heavyweight figure. In addition to the importance his son had shown in the kitchen before, even if Feng Honghong didn't know him, she knew that his origin was definitely not simple.
So she didn't dare to disturb the other party's taste.
But at this moment, Feng Honghong, who had already been unable to hold it in his mouth after hearing this question, had found a mouthful of venting: "Yes, this sour plum soup was learned by my son and his master, and there were so many medicinal materials here."
After getting the answer he wanted, Lao Tang did not ask what medicinal materials he used without any worries. For the chef, this is something for food.
But he looked at an assistant on the table with great pride and a cameraman said, "Look at what I said just now. This is what I have done. When we leave later, we will ask for another pot. I took a big water cup today."
After hearing this, Feng Honghong reminded him: "Then remember to ask for it earlier. If it is too late, the sour plum soup will be sold out."
Old Tang nodded: "Okay, thank you sister, then we'll have it later."
"Okay, then you can use it slowly. The dish I just served was rouge goose jerky, which was also developed by my son. You can try it."
Only then did Old Tang look at the rouge goose jelly on the table...
"I don't seem to have heard of this dish, but it just sounds familiar." Old Tang scratched his head with great thoughts, "But, but looking at this red color reminds me of a game... The blood eggs in the Shanhai Jing seem to be similar to this color, and only by clicking in from the link below my video, that is the True Shanhai Jing. Register online and get it..."
Originally, the regular customers who often came to Honghong Hotel were secretly listening to Lao Tang's movements. They originally wanted to hear Lao Tang's evaluation of the dish Rouge Goose Chew, because they had been here before, so they naturally knew that this dish was reproduced by the boss from the Dream of Red Mansions.
As a result, when Lao Tang actually broadcasts an advertisement for squirting iron, they caught them off guard and almost spit out all the food in their mouths!
It turns out that this is how video bloggers advertise!
But it’s true, it looks much more awkward than in the video!
This thing is purely a performance without physical performance, and it is a loss for Lao Tang to hold back his laughter. However, when they think about Lao Tang playing this thing every day, they probably have become accustomed to it.
Anyway, you make money, what's wrong with it?
After reading the advertisement, Lao Tang returned to the topic: "I have to go online to check it." As he said, he took out his mobile phone to search the Internet. After a while, he sighed at the results in Baidu entry.
"I won't tell you this dish. I haven't made it before. If what I said is wrong, I can only try it for you first."
As he said that, he picked up a piece of rouge goose jerky and put it in his mouth to chew it.
“Sweet.”
"It seems that there is a kind of fruit inside. I personally feel it is an apple, because generally you may use more apples when cooking. The main reason is that this thing can enhance the flavor on the one hand and make the meat more tender. In addition to apples, pears, pineapples and other things can also be made into dishes."
"And although this thing is goose meat, it is not greasy at all, and it is not tiring. Instead, it is bitten in one bite. The juice inside is very full and tender, good and delicious.
I think we are here today. Usually when I review the dishes, I always say that this is not good and that is not good. But every time I go to a hot pot restaurant, a grilled fish restaurant or a small restaurant on the roadside, I feel good about everything I eat.
The main reason is that the prices are different. As consumers, we now have to ask for quality as much as we spend. Just like the grilled fish we ate in Chongqing a few days ago, people on the Internet have already summarized it as a casual word. "Soup pills are fake, and eight pills are given to two" will not work at all. They are simply treating consumers as fools.
But this store is different. I don’t think there is any need to ask the price for eating in this store. As long as each dish here is sold for less than 200 yuan, I feel that there is no problem.
Of course, this does not mean that if it sells for more than 200 yuan, it is not worth the price. It mainly needs to consider the situation of the dish itself. In short, it is very recommended."
Old Tang said that he was almost satisfied, and he was indeed quite satisfied with the food today. After eating so much, he felt that he was already eighty-sixth full.
"Do we have a soup?"
"Well, there is also Wensi Tofu." The cameraman nodded, but when he nodded, he also clicked the camera up and down, looking quite naughty.
But as they were talking, Wensi tofu was also brought up.
"Is this tofu so thin? It's thinner than what I've seen before. You can give me a close-up." The cameraman pushed the camera forward and took a close-up of Wensi Tofu. The assistant next to him said, "Teacher Tang, I just checked it online and said that the Wensi Tofu in this store was also cut by the boss, not made of machines, and there are many videos, but we came late, so I didn't see it."
"I'm not surprised at all. In your words, it's a bit numb. This restaurant has brought me too many surprises." Old Tang said as he served himself a bowl of soup, and then took a sip with a spoon.
"But it's important to say that the tofu is good, but the soup still tastes the same, it's really fresh when combined, but it's a bit light. In ancient times, it was for the emperor and the rich. Who would drink this thing from ordinary people?
Of course, this does not mean that this restaurant is not good. It is because this dish has been like this since ancient times, but it is quite cost-effective to buy the chef's knife skills at this price."
In the end, everyone ate the food on the table cleanly. Chen Nian looked at Lao Tang in the kitchen and seemed to have not had that much appetite. He ate some of each dish, plus a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, and he was basically full.
The female assistant had a similar appetite, and in the end she had to be a camera guy. After going out and putting down the camera, she immediately turned on the big eater mode.
Eat all the remaining food cleanly.
In the end, Lao Tang scans the code to check out.
Feng Honghong even specially gave Lao Tang a piece of zero.
"Okay, I won't give these few dollars..."
"No, you can come here often in the future. Next time you come here, you can try other dishes in our store, which are also very delicious."
"Okay, no problem." Old Tang paid the payment, then showed it, and finally waved his hand and took the two away.
Just as Chen Nian was puzzled that they didn't seem to say the classic line at the beginning of each video, he suddenly saw that several of them were shooting outside through the door.
I can't hear clearly what I said, but Chen Nian looked at their attitude exactly the same as what he saw at the beginning.
To be continued...
