Chapter 357 Blind Selling
""Xingyuan Lu" is a collection of recipes collected by Li Huanan, the father of Li Tiaoyuan, during the Qianlong period. It consists of two volumes with rich content and detailed descriptions. It records cooking, brewing, cakes and snacks, processing, beverages, preservation, etc. in total, a total of 120 One. Among them, there are many methods of preparing bear paws, deer sinews, bird's nests, shark's fins, abalone and other delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as methods of processing ham, soy sauce meat, salted duck, wind chicken, etc., all of which are involved."
"This can almost be regarded as the 'ancestral recipe' of our Sichuan cuisine, and it also marks that our Sichuan cuisine has the typical characteristics of official banquet cuisine and government cuisine from the beginning."
Zhou Zhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The old Liu family had a profound background and seemed to have something.
"Actually, there was also a book called "Sui Hua Ji Li Pu" before this, which was a book about the scenery of the Shu capital that people in the Yuan Dynasty painstakingly compiled; it recorded many dishes."
"After that, there were "Tu Feng Lu" and "Zhong Feng Lu". In the Republic of China, Li Jieren recorded many dishes in his collected works. In addition, there were two books - "Feasting Feasts and Feasts with Delicacies and Adjusting the Cauldron According to Samples" and "bj Restaurant Famous Recipes"..."
"Wait a minute, old man." Zhou Zhi raised his hand immediately after taking the notes: "Is there any Sichuan food in BJ Restaurant?"
"Of course." The old man got excited and couldn't stop himself: "There are more than 150 dishes, all representative of public cuisine."
Well, the old man seems to despise the Jianghu cuisine of the Xiahe Gang. He always talks about official banquets and palaces. The blackness in this area is also deeply rooted.
However, this did not prevent Zhou Zhi from discussing with the old man enthusiastically. The meal took a little longer. After the main meal, the old man asked Manager Fei to drink with him and chatted with Zhou Zhi all afternoon over peanuts and Mianzhu Daqu. .
Finally, the old man summarized a book list for Zhou Zhi: "Instructions on Diet", "Qing Jia Lu", "Taiping Yulan·Food and Drink Department", "Zhong Xi Lu", "Qing Yi Lu: Diet Part", plus After reading these ancient books, "Yi Ya Yiyi" and "Xingyuan Lu", you should be able to speak well."
The harvest of this trip was something Zhou Zhi never expected. In his heart, it was even more satisfying than buying that weird big porcelain vase and the Ge Glazed Fish Basket that was worth studying.
"It's the right time to come today. Listening to an old man's words is better than ten years of studying." Putting the notebook away, Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "But then again, old man, I don't think it's his fault for my second brother's hobby of cooking. , I see this root, but it’s still in your body!”
Mr. Liu Sanye sighed: "Actually, thanks to Teacher Fei's care, my father and I don't have to worry about food and clothing today. It's just that... this man is getting old, and there is always something missing in his heart."
"Have you seen this courtyard? In fact, no one wants to live in it." Liu Sanye said: "But this is the ancestral hall of the old Liu family, there must be someone to take care of it, right?"
"My idea is to buy this ancestral hall and then repair it to restore it to the way it looked when I was a child."
At this point Liu Sanye sighed again: "But this requires a lot of money, so I have to tie the second child here and spend these things together."
Zhou Zhi nodded silently. It should be said that the old man's decision was not bad. If he really wants to buy this old yard and repair it, the value in another twenty years will be frightening.
Then he said: "This is actually a good idea. I see that the back of the ancestral hall is the sacrificial chamber and the residence, and the front is the courtyard of the guild hall. However, it is too messy now, and even the drainage is affected."
"If you can really recover, turn the front part of the guild hall into a teahouse or restaurant and let the second brother manage it. You can always enjoy it in the backyard. It's good that the second brother is experienced in the skill of twice-cooked pork. Just with this dish, the business is not good.
No."
"I just don't know if I can wait until that day..." The third master's eyes fell on the patio outside.
"Well, it's getting late." Manager Fei said: "These goods are all good this time. All the porcelain, calligraphy and paintings belong to me, but I won't accept these small items. There are still many in the Gongmei warehouse."
"Here are eight thousand yuan in total. Erba, please collect it for your grandfather."
The remaining small items are mostly ink pad boxes, snuff bottles, loose beads, bronze mirrors, silver hairpins, etc. They are indeed good things, but the prices are indeed average today.
"Old man, you can take charge of these things and I'll take them." Zhou Zhi chatted with the third master all afternoon and felt that they had similar temperaments and wanted to help.
"If you like the elbow, then one thousand and five hundred." The third master said calmly.
The price was actually quite high, but Zhou Zhi didn't care: "Okay, Uncle Fei, I'm going to trouble you again."
Manager Fei knew that the boy was not short of money, so he gave it to her without saying much.
"Old man, please take good care of him." Zhou Zhi took Mr. Liu's hand and patted the back of his thin hand: "If my parents still let me come out during the next holiday, I will definitely come to visit you."
"Your accent is from Jiazhou? That's a long way away."
The Jiazhou accent is quite similar to the Jiachuan accent, which is something people in Sichuan often make mistakes about.
"Haha, old man, I am from Jiachuan. The lower part of Manzhou is on the Yangtze River near Yuzhou, but it is farther than Jiazhou." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I am young and can run well."
"Then come if you have the chance. It's hard to find a young man who can talk about scriptures and play. Third Master, I'm very happy today." Liu Sanye smiled and nodded: "Then Erba quickly give the things to Teacher Fei and
You have to be careful when putting your elbow on the car."
"Let's work together, have we prepared enough scrap newspapers?" Zhou Zhi said quickly.
After everything was properly put in the car, the two of them said goodbye to Brother Liu and were about to leave, but they saw Master Liu tremblingly coming to the gate again: "Teacher Fei, please stay here, we have something to discuss."
Zhou Zhi and Manager Fei looked at each other and walked over again: "Old man, do you have any other instructions?"
"Follow me." Mr. Liu didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Everyone returned to the place where they had just eaten. Mr. Liu ordered Erwa: "Go and remove the ceiling board next to my bed. There is a box inside. Take out the box."
Erwa went there, and after a while, he brought back a large dark wooden box.
The wooden box doesn't seem to be heavy, so there shouldn't be anything heavy inside.
Mr. Liu Sanye put his withered hand on the box and breathed a sigh of relief: "I have to persuade you today. I think it makes sense. The younger generations have their own ideas. This is a good thing and not a bad thing."
"This box contains items passed down from my ancestors. Teacher Fei has known me for a long time, so let's give it a fixed price of 50,000 yuan."
"Well, let me take a look at the things." Manager Fei started to touch his white gloves. Seeing that Mr. Liu said solemnly, he also became serious: "If the things are suitable for collection, 50,000 yuan is fine."
When Manager Fei put his hand on the box, Mr. Liu did not let go of his hand. Instead, he gently shook his head.
"What do you mean, Third Master?" Manager Fei couldn't help but be confused. The rule in the antique store is not to handle the goods. Now that Third Master is like this, he can't look at it.
"Blind Gu." Zhou Zhi saw the doorway on the side and asked cautiously: "Third Master, is this what you mean?"
"Elbow really knows the old rules..." The third master's smile was a bit bitter: "Your fourth cousin is still a good trainer..."
