1945 In Chongqing, Liang Shiqiu wrote the essay "Ya She Tan Dining", describing the scene when he went to the outside building with his parents to eat "vinegar fish" and "roast live shrimp" when he was a child. "I tasted the vinegar fish outside the building, and I am still surprised by its delicious taste. Later, every time I went to the West Lake, I went upstairs to kiss.
This building is by the lake. From the window, you can see that this huge basket is a boat, and the fish are stored in the basket waiting for cooking. There is no need to trawl for fishing. The common choice is herring, which is grass carp. The fish is no more than a foot long and weighs less than half a catty. After slaughter and cleaning, put it into boiling water to cook. After cooking, take out the pot, thicken the sauce and pour it on the fish, and serve. According to Lu Xun's Diary, at noon on July 13, Professor Zheng Dian, the teacher of Xu Guangping, invited Lu Xun, Xu Guangping and Chuan Dao (students of Lu Xun) to have dinner outside the building. Lu Xun and his party and Jing Ya tasted the West Lake vinegar fish in the restaurant outside the building.
"Outside the Building" shows that the protagonists of "Outside the Building" firmly grasp their own location advantages and business opportunities, adhere to the business philosophy of "prospering the store with literature, prospering the building with literature", fully integrate the four beauties of lakes, mountains, shops, culture and dishes, constantly improve the dishes and bring forth the new ones, and further improve the "Hubang" Zhejiang cuisine. In the play, hangzhou dishes's exquisite connotation and exquisite cooking are explained through one delicious food after another. For example, why does "West Lake Vinegar Fish" need to be hungry for three days to serve? How does Longjing tea match shrimps to become a famous dish "Longjing Shrimp"? The exterior of the building presents the charm of China cooking culture in detail.
