Zheng Zhang came to the provincial capital for a meeting, and wanted to take the opportunity to invite a fellow Ho Ying who works in the provincial capital to get in touch with their feelings and ask them to do more for their hometown people. He told this idea to Lv Qiang, who is the financial section chief of the provincial government. Lv Qiang said it was your parents' treat. Who's not coming? Zheng Zhang said what do you think is appropriate, and Lv Qiang said that in Natural Residence, there is a good dish called Farewell My Concubine, which is very attractive.
Then, Xiang introduced that this "overlord" is an old turtle and "Ji" is a little hen. The old soft-shelled turtle is not cultured artificially, but grows naturally in lakes and rivers. Little hens are "Chai Chicken" and "Young Woman Chicken" that lay eggs. The practice is traditional craft. First, put the live turtle in a cage and heat it. The cage is a special cage with round eyes all around and pasted with paper. When the temperature is high, the turtle is thirsty When he found a place to breathe, he arched the paper and put his head out of his eyes. Just in time, there was ready-made seasoning water outside. The turtle ate the seasoning into the five internal organs and removed the original waste. After several times of "steaming", the turtle absorbed enough seasoning and then began to kill the turtle. Steamed turtle proudly puts one foot on the "concubine" lying on the ground, and the composition gives people a tragic feeling, which can remind people of the ending of a failed hero. The taste is not only unique but also wonderful. Only the price is high. Wang Ba was sold to 500 yuan, and the "Farewell My Concubine" composed of a turtle weighing three kilograms and a hen weighing three kilograms cost at least nearly 1,000 yuan. Zheng Zhang said that since he was invited, he couldn't lose his share and go to the "natural residence" to eat "Farewell My Concubine". At noon the next day, the invited villagers walked into the "natural residence" one by one. The room reserved by Lv Qiang is called "Ziguangge", and the waitress is a very delicate girl with the number 8 on her chest. Miss No.8 was shocked when she saw Zhang Zheng, and then she smiled and shouted to Mr. Zhang, giving way politely. Lv Qiang seems to come here often. He is very familiar with the way of banquets. He is responsible for guiding the young lady to do this and that, what tea to drink and what cigarettes to smoke. Because more than a dozen people are from He Ying, and all speak their hometown dialect, the room is full of He Ying's breath.
Miss No.8 took the menu and asked Zheng Zhang to order. Zheng Zhang handed the recipe and said, "Chief Lu, please order first." Lv Qiang said, "One for each person." Zheng Zhang said, "Then I'll order Farewell My Concubine! Let's take a look. " After everyone ordered one, Lv Qiang made a summary, cooled and heated a few mouthfuls of soup, drank what wine and drank what drink, and finally said to Miss No.8, "Quick."
After a while, cold dishes and hot dishes began to serve one after another. Wine is a hometown wine: Song He grain liquid. Although everyone is in the provincial capital, they are usually busy with work and don't meet often. Taking this opportunity to talk about friendship, I can't help toasting my parents in my hometown. Zheng Zhang was very happy and said that he was asking questions in your hometown. Please take care of him. Anyone who has something will do it as long as he calls. Everyone raised their glasses at the same time. Say it in unison, say it well, say it well! As soon as the words stopped, they all dried up. Zheng Zhang put down her glass and asked Miss Ba, "Why hasn't my farewell my concubine been served yet?"
Miss Ba hurriedly explained, "Sir, there are many guests today, and there are many people who order farewell to my concubine. A master can't do it. Please forgive me. "
After a while, Farewell My Concubine still disappeared. Zheng Zhang asked again, "Why haven't you served that big dish yet?"
Miss No.8 quickly explained, "Sir, please don't panic. I will hurry. " Miss No.8 said this, and hurried to the door to call the vegetable delivery girl and whispered something.
Seeing that the banquet is coming to an end, "Farewell My Concubine" is still missing, and everyone can't help but look anxious. Zhang Zheng couldn't help asking the young lady, "What's going on?"
The young lady was a little scared, too, so she hurried out and then came back quickly, sorry to say; "Sir, I'm really sorry. Today's Farewell My Concubine is short of materials! " Zheng suddenly stood up and glared at the young lady, saying, "We booked a table early and put up Farewell My Concubine in the morning paper, but you kept saying that it was sold out. What the hell? "
They also deeply felt this kind of fool and accused Miss No.8 in succession. Lv Qiang tone very strongly said; "Call your boss!"
