Chapter 73: The Origin of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall
"I know some allusions this," said Wang Lao laughing.
"What allusion?" Zhao Min couldn't help asking Mr. Wang.
"This 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' is originally called 'Mantan Xiang'. Xuan Quan, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, passed by 'Mindu' on his way to Shaolin Temple in Fu Province, and stayed overnight in a hotel. The official's house on the sidewall feasted with guests with 'Mantan Xiang'. The monk smelled it and drooled, and suddenly abandoned Buddhism for many years to practice. He jumped into the wall to enjoy 'Mantan Xiang'. From then on, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" was named, and there was another poem among them."
"What kind of poem?" Director Zhao asked.
"'The smell of meat is opened on the altar and spreads to the neighbors. The Buddha heard the abandoned Zen and jumped over the wall.', a very interesting poem, Honor, I'm right." Old Wang looked at Ye Rongyao and asked.
"Old Wang, you are so knowledgeable, and you even know this allusion."
Ye Rongyao said. There is indeed such an allusion. When Ye Rongyao obtained the "God-level cooking skills", these allusions were also transmitted to Ye Rongyao's mind. After all, every famous dish would have one or two allusions with a long history.
"I didn't expect that this dish would have such an interesting story. If I hadn't heard Mr. Wang telling this allusion, I really wouldn't know the name of the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" dish, this is how it came about."
Director Zhao has eaten "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" several times, but he has never noticed the origin of the name of this dish "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". Today, I heard Mr. Wang say this, and it turns out that there is such an interesting allusion.
"Actually, in our China, there are many famous dishes with interesting stories. Now let's try the taste of my final dish, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
Ye Rongyao said, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" took Ye Rongyao all afternoon, and it was definitely the best taste among the dishes in the evening.
"Haha, then I want to try this legendary dish that made the Buddha jump over the wall, how delicious it is."
After saying that, Director Zhao picked up the chopsticks and picked up the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". A piece of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" meat was in the mouth. Suddenly, it was so mellow, moist and fragrant. Director Zhao was immersed in the wonderful world and came back to his senses after a long time.
"This taste is amazing. The 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' I have eaten before is incomparable to it." Director Zhao said in admiration.
"I said Zhao Yan, are you authentic enough? Such an authentic 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall', you were taken first by you. You are a leader after all, so be careful of your image." Old Wang said jokingly.
"Haha, now we should start first and then suffer. If you have such a delicious dish, you should eat a fewer pieces if you eat chopsticks slowly. Wouldn't that be a disadvantage?"
Director Zhao said with the meat "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" in his mouth. This "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" is obviously delicious than the few dishes I have eaten just now. If you don't eat more, you won't be eaten up later. Please pay attention to your image. What you just now may not be much better than yourself.
"Damn, why are you so fast? Why are there only a little left in this 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'? I haven't even moved my chopsticks yet?"
Mr. Wang, who had just told Zhao Yan to pay attention to his image, looked on the table and said, "Okay, the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" of the entire small jar was eaten by Zhao Min and Ye Tianya for half. Mr. Wang didn't care about the image he just mentioned, and directly reached out to bring the whole jar to him and prevented others from eating it.
"I said, Mr. Wang, how could you move the real jar away? Everyone hasn't eaten yet. You are an elder, so you should pay attention to your image."
When Zhao Yan saw that Mr. Wang brought the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" from the entire hall to him and did not let others pick it up, he found it funny, so he stuffed all the words he had just said about himself.
"It's a big deal. If you continue to look at me, I guess I won't leave this "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" scumbag for me."
Mr. Wang said domineeringly, "What else can I tell you about my image to these people? If I continue talking about it, I guess I can't even drink the soup."
Youdao is an old boy, an old boy. Sometimes the elderly are no different from children. When they encounter something they like, they will also snatch them like children.
"Old Wang, Mr. Wang, please let me take another bite."
Zhao Min stared at the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" with a greed, saying that in the face of absolute delicacies, Zhao Min had forgotten that Mr. Wang was the old leader of his man, and he just regarded him as an ordinary elder.
"I agreed to just have a mouthful, not too much." Old Wang said reluctantly.
"Yeah, just one bite."
Zhao Min happily picked up a larger piece of meat from the small jar with chopsticks. Zhao Min really loved this "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" to death. She originally thought that the dishes she had eaten just now were already the best, but she didn't expect that the gap was huge compared to this "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".
Zhao Min really couldn't figure out that the eldest nephew of his husband's house who had never been visible in the mountains or the poor in the mountains had such cooking skills. If he had known that he had such cooking skills, he would not have looked down on him so much before.
"Xiao Min, you are not a small mouthful, but a large mouthful." Old Wang looked at the big piece of meat that was grabbed by Zhao Min, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Old Wang, this Buddha jumps over the wall is so delicious. If I had a small piece, wouldn't it be a loss?" Zhao Min said with a smile.
"Old Wang, please give me a bite, right?" Director Zhao also stared at the jar that was pretending to be "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".
"Old Wang, leave some for me, too."
Ye Tianya said a little embarrassedly. Ye Tianya himself felt a little embarrassed. The owner of him actually wanted to compete with the guests for food, and this guest was his old leader.
"Tianya, it's wrong for you to fight with me. If you want to eat this 'Buddha Jump over the Wall', you can ask your nephew to make it for you at any time, but we can't do it. Don't expect this 'Buddha Jump over the Wall' today." Before Mr. Wang could speak, Director Zhao had already spoken first.
"Yes, this 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' is not your share, but Xiao Zhao doesn't have your share, either. I'll pack this 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'." Old Wang said with the 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' in his mouth.
"Old Wang, you are too cruel. You can't eat so much."
Director Zhao said depressedly that the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" tasted so good that it was not satisfying to eat it at all.
"I can't finish eating, I can pack it back and eat it slowly." Mr. Wang said proudly. Such a delicious dish must be tasted slowly.
"Old Wang, you should eat less of this 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall', so don't overdo it." Ye Rongyao frowned and looked at Old Wang and said.
"Why? Why should I eat less?"
