Boss Zheng, this way please. Have a taste of our local dishes and special liquor. It's been quite a long journey. "After they got out of the elevator, Zhang Weiyu led the way with a smile.
Chief Li's phone rang again.
He frowned impatiently and picked up the phone. "What's the matter?"
"Uh …"
"Hurry up and send it over!"
"Hurry up and don't delay."
After saying that, Chief Li hung up the phone and looked at Zheng Ren hesitantly.
"Chief Li, if you have something to do, just do it." Zheng Ren was happy to have one less stranger to eat with.
After a few more apologies, Chief Li rushed to the emergency department.
Zhang Weiyu and Director Xu drove the group to a hotel.
Zheng Ren was surprised to see that it was not the old restaurant in Xian County. After getting out of the car, he asked, "Manager Zhang, why isn't it your old restaurant?"
"Boss Zheng, it's because I went to Imperial Capital and the old man doesn't like me. There are many relatives at home during the New Year and the juniors are all back, so he doesn't scold me. If I go back on normal days, I don't know how he'll scold me. "
"Manager Zhang, what are you doing today?" Su Yun said with a smile. "What are you treating us to today?"
At the mention of food, Zheng Ren felt Xie Yiren's small hand in his palm instantly warm up.
"It's some local dishes from nearby, like duck feet, stinky mandarin fish, earthen pot chicken, and so on. It's a little special, but I'm afraid Boss Zheng won't be used to it. "
Zheng Ren smiled.
Not used to it? What a joke.
No matter what it was, there was no special taste. He did not eat much to begin with, so he could not tell if it was good or bad. It did not matter, as long as she was happy.
After entering the private room, Zhang Weiyu said a few polite words and ordered the dishes, then said, "I really like duck feet. I can't eat the most authentic ones in Imperial Capital, so it doesn't taste like home."
"Duck feet seems to be from Xuancheng, right?" Su Yun said without hesitation.
"Professor Su is right. It is indeed a famous dish in Xuancheng." Zhang Weiyu had subconsciously changed his way of addressing Su Yun as Professor Su. Although he was right and Su Yun was not used to it at first, he quickly accepted it.
"The duck's feet, heart, and intestines are all specially cooked. There's a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, but it's a pity that I can't get my hands on it." Zhang Weiyu said with a smile, "This is a branch of the old shop in Xuancheng. The taste is quite authentic. Boss Zheng, try it."
"I ate it once in Xuancheng." "The duck intestines are wrapped around the duck feet. There's a duck heart inside. The color is beautiful and the taste is very good."
Zheng Ren smiled when he saw Xie Yiren's happiness.
"Yiren is right. Whether it's the duck intestines, duck feet, or duck hearts, they've all been specially cured. Every kind of marinating method is different. When eaten in the mouth, the taste is similar but different. When chewed lightly, the fragrance will remain in the mouth. "
Before the dishes were served, Zheng Ren could feel the temperature of Xie Yiren's small hand rising just by listening to Zhang Weiyu's introduction.
"I heard from a friend that it was a suggestion made by Xie Xie during the Northern and Southern Dynasties when he was the governor of Xuan City. Xie Xie is also a foodie. "Su Yun said.
"Food is the most important thing to the people," Zhang Weiyu said with a smile.
"It's delicious to say that it's delicious. After all, there's a secret method to marinate it. The taste goes into the bones and makes people forget to go home. But during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, you also know that they were very pretentious. Xie Xie pays attention to color, smell, and taste when he eats. Color is ranked first. Things that don't look good, even if they're delicious, have to be picky. "
Appearance was really important. Zheng Ren smiled. This was a tradition since ancient times, and it was the same for foodies.
They were picky about the food they wanted to eat.
"Professor Su is right!" Zhang Weiyu said with a smile. "Color, smell, and taste are the tradition of Chinese cuisine. The duck intestines are floating on the duck's body, and it doesn't look good. The duck feet are open, and there are still seasonings and duck intestines hanging on them, and it looks indecent. The duck feet and the duck heart have sunk to the bottom of the pot and can't be scooped up. I think the last point is the main point. "
"I know there is, but I can't eat it. It would be strange if I wasn't anxious." Su Yun glanced at Xie Yiren and said with a smile.
Lao He said from the side, "A few years ago, there was a doctor who was studying in Xuancheng. Every time he performed surgery, he would talk to me about duck foot buns. He talked so much that his saliva came out. "
"Today, try the most authentic duck foot buns," Zhang Weiyu said.
Soon, dishes were served one after another.
Zheng Ren saw that the appearance of the duck foot buns was amber, crystal clear, bright, and steaming. When the plate was placed on the table, the meat on the duck foot trembled slightly, full of elasticity.
He could imagine what kind of taste feast it would be when he ate it. The secret method of marinating ingredients stimulated the taste buds, coupled with the elasticity of this collagen protein.
After a few polite words, Zheng Ren moved his chopsticks first.
He picked up a duck foot bun for Xie Yiren and looked at her with a smile as she tasted it first.
Chief Xu was envious.
Some professors also brought scrub nurses when they came to visit. As for whether there were any secrets between the two of them, it was not easy to say.
However, not to mention whether the surgery was done well or not, just the scrub nurse that he brought showed that Boss Zheng's standards were indeed high! Whether it was age, appearance, or figure, she was the best choice.
It was really high, as high as a building.
Because he was out, Su Yun did not drink. He just ate happily.
In addition to the duck foot buns, there was also pot chicken, donkey barbecue, stinky mandarin fish, and hairy tofu.
There was even a Yangtze River anchovy as the main dish.
"There are three knives on the table, river knife, lake knife, and sea knife." Zhang Weiyu turned the Yangtze River anchovy in front of Zheng Ren and said, "Most of the knives that can be bought on the market are lake knives and a few sea knives. The real river knife will not appear at all."
"Hasn't it been listed as a national protected animal yet?" Su Yun asked.
"It's said that it will be listed as a first-class protected animal. When the time comes, we won't be able to eat it," Zhang Weiyu said. "However, the price of river knives has risen like a rocket in the past few years. Now, it's already 10,000 yuan per catty."
"As long as the scales of the lake knife are intact, it looks very similar to the river knife. Therefore, as long as the lake knife is transported to Jiangyin, it can be sold for a few thousand yuan per catty. It's not because it tastes good, but because it can be used as a river knife. "
"For us old foodies, the term melts in the mouth is generally not used casually. However, no one has any objections to using it on the river knife, "Zhang Weiyu said." The fish fat has a special fragrance. It leaves a mark on the lips and teeth, and it's fascinating. Once, I had a dream in the Imperial Capital, and I dreamed of eating river knives and duck foot buns. "
As Zhang Weiyu spoke, he laughed. "I'm not afraid to laugh at you, but when I woke up, my pillow was wet."
Zheng Ren glanced at him and confirmed that Zhang Weiyu's System panel was fine. It should not have been caused by a cerebral infarction.
He was used to using the System panel. No matter who it was, Zheng Ren would take a look at it before saying anything.
