Life is a Game

Xianduxian is a well-deserved first dish in spring.

Xianduxian is a very representative dish in Benbang cuisine, Hangbang cuisine and Subang cuisine. It is more common in Jiangnan area. It is a soup cooked with spring bamboo shoots, fresh pork belly and bacon slices. It is absolutely limited to spring. .

The name of this menu shows its main ingredients and cooking method. Pickled refers to marinated bacon, and Du refers to stewed with low heat. Xian is naturally fresh meat. As a very common home-cooked dish in the south, Xianduxian has the characteristic of every home-cooked dish-big pot.

The dishes that the whole family eats together, how can they be worthy of the word "family" without a big casserole.

Ordinary people use a big casserole when making Xianduxian, let alone the Jiang family. The old man cooks this dish once or twice every spring, and every time he cooks Xianduxian, it's when Jiang's special large casserole comes out. The special big casserole that once contained countless salty and delicious dishes was left behind in the countryside of City Z, but it doesn’t matter, there are plenty of big casserole in Taifeng Building, and the casserole for extra-large porridge is in a sense better than the one at home. The casserole is even bigger.

To do what is natural to do the biggest.

Jiang Jiankang's first reaction after seeing the salty casserole was to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Ji Xia next to Jiang Jiankang:?

Although he didn't know why, Ji Xia followed Jiang Jiankang to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Because Xianduxian is a home-cooked dish and is available in many places, there are naturally many different versions. The old man's habit is to use marinated ribs and Jinhua ham for bacon. When cooking, bacon and essence ham are put in whole. After cooking, take out the bacon and cut it into thin slices or small pieces.

The cured meat should be thin, the fresh meat should be more, the soup should be white, and the spring bamboo shoots should be fresh.

First eat a large piece of crispy and tender bamboo shoots, then eat a larger piece of plump bacon, then drink a sip of salty and delicious white soup, and finally fill it with a slice of thinly sliced ​​Jinhua ham, the taste of spring In this way, it was locked on the tip of the tongue, fresh and agile.

If you want to put on a plate, fill it with a few pieces of Chinese cabbage cooked in oily broth. With the unique appearance of spring bamboo shoots, change to a more beautiful bowl, and you can make a dish that looks nothing like salty and fresh in minutes. Xian Du Xian.

Wang Hao filled himself a bowl full of Xianduxian, half a bowl of fresh meat and half a bowl of soup, with bamboo shoots buried under the meat, and two slices of ham floating on top of the soup.

As a carnivore, Wang Hao picked up a large piece of fresh meat first.

He was going to eat a piece of meat first, but he started boasting after eating. He has eaten this dish, but he has only eaten it once or twice, although he did not expect the old man to prepare a manuscript related to Xianduxian. However, as an excellent literary worker, he can adapt to all changes with the same change, integrate cultures, know everything, draw inferences from one example, and rhetoric is what he is best at.

Wang Hao stuffed the meat into his mouth.

Then he has no extra mouth to praise the dish.

Just when Wang Hao was speechless after eating, Jiang Jiankang had already walked to the side of the casserole filled with salty fresh food, and said to his father with a smile: "Dad, I happen to be a little hungry, I will eat some too .”

The old man wanted to hit his son a little bit, but he held back, after all, it's not that there are outsiders next to the house.

The old man nodded at Jiang Jiankang reluctantly.

Jiang Jiankang happily scooped up the meat into the bowl, not forgetting to ask for a spoonful of spring bamboo shoots at the end while scooping up the meat.

Ji Xia stood behind Jiang Jiankang with a bowl in his hand, as if waiting in line in the cafeteria for food: "Great Master, I'm hungry too."

Jiang Weiguo: ...

Jiang Feng:?

There is also this operation.

Me too!

Jiang Feng made a quick decision: "Grandpa, I seem to be a little hungry too."

Others in the kitchen: ...

"Hey, it's strange, I feel a little hungry anyway."

"Coincidentally, me too."

Fortunately, the pot of salty freshness made by the old man is enough, even if there is a bowl per person in the back kitchen, there is still some leftovers.

In just a few minutes, everyone has a bowl of Xianduxian in their hands.

At this time, Wang Hao had devoured the bowl in his hand, and now he didn't think about anything, he just wanted to fill another bowl.

But he knew that now was not the time.

The dishes are finished.

It's time to say it.

"Xiao Wang, what do you think?" the old man asked.

Wang Hao has already made a draft in his heart.

"It's so delicious!" Without further ado, Wang Hao first praised this Xianduxian with the most simple words.

"Every ingredient is just right. The fresh meat here is the best fresh meat I have ever eaten. It is a little salty and tastes crunchy. The fat part is absolutely perfect, it looks so big The fat meat is not greasy at all in the mouth!"

"Not to mention the soup, it's simply enjoyable to eat a bite of meat and a mouthful of soup. The ham is thinly sliced, and it's delicious when eaten with bamboo shoots and soup."

"And this spring bamboo shoot, this spring bamboo shoot is simply amazing, crisp and tender, full of soup, it tastes like, it tastes like walking in a bamboo forest full of spring in spring, and it feels like you can feel it when you bite it. See the power of bamboo shoots to grow." Wang Hao narrowed his eyes emotionally as he spoke.

"I have eaten Xianduxian before, but those dishes are not as springy as the one you made. Every bite is a kind of enjoyment. Whether it is juicy bamboo shoots, salty meat or faintly fragrant The sliced ​​ham with a touch of sweetness is the best I have ever eaten, it is simply the best combination, just like Tai Chi and Liang Yi complement each other, a match made in heaven!"

Jiang Feng, who was drinking soup:?

They are all blowing rainbow skin, why is your blowing so different from ours?

Although the old man didn't show it on the surface, his own son and grandson Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang could tell that he was in a good mood now.

The Jiang family's rainbow farts and Wang Hao's rainbow farts are completely different.

The rainbow fart of the Jiang family, with the eldest aunt as the capital, is a direct exaggeration to the theme. Unlike Wang Hao, who also used some messy, inexplicable, and out-of-the-box modifiers to boast.

"What do you think?" The old man looked at the other people who were still eating, and Wang Hao took this opportunity to quickly serve himself a second bowl.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, Dad, the Xianduxian you made today is better than everything you've made before!" Jiang Jiankang broke his mouth.

Ji Xia frantically nodded to express his agreement.

"It's delicious, it's simply wonderful, and it feels like spring when you eat it!" Jiang Feng chose to copy what Wang Hao praised just now.

"Yes, the Xianduxian made by the chef is really delicious."

"I also feel that the taste is different from what I eat at home."

Seeing that everyone said it was delicious, Jiang Weiguo nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, let's choose Xianduxian as the main dish of the spring menu."

The chefs who have been arguing for several days because of the main dish of the spring menu: ...

"If you have any opinions, you can also raise them," Jiang Weiguo said.

"Grandpa Jiang's dish is naturally the most suitable dish for the spring-limited main dish. Grandpa Jiang is the head chef, and you will cook the main dish yourself. Guests will definitely trust the quality of the spring menu. In terms of publicity, Manager Fang and Aunt Wang They will also be much more relaxed." Wu Minqi said with a smile.

Jiang Weiguo nodded even more satisfied.

"I also think Xianduxian is very suitable." Zhang Guanghang affirmed, "Xianduxian is a soup. Since it is a spring menu, there must be a dish made of fish. I still think lemon cod is a good choice. It is tender and tender. Sweet and sour, it goes well with salty and fresh."

"Tai Fung Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant after all, so it seems inappropriate to launch a limited-use Western-style meal for the first time. I still think watercress fish is more suitable. A set meal always needs to have a dish with a strong and strong taste as an embellishment." Wu Minqi refused to budge.

"I can change it to the Chinese style, just change the name. The taste of watercress fish is too strong, and it doesn't go well with the Xianduxian and spring limited set. Lemon cod is more suitable." Zhang Guanghang smiled slightly.

It's a pity that it's useless, after all, Wu Minqi already has a boyfriend, and she fell in love with it herself.

"Cod and watercress fish are not suitable, of course mandarin fish is used for the spring limit!" Dong Shi put down the bowl and re-entered the battle.

"Actually, fish doesn't have to be a dish. I think fishball noodles are good. There is always a staple food in the set meal." Ji Xue tried to fish in troubled waters, "Wang Hao, what do you think?"

"Oh, I forgot the shepherd's purse tofu ball soup. Just wait, I'll pour some sesame oil on you, the taste of the fish balls will not change." Ji Xue just forgot his dish just now.

"It's over, my fried squid with leeks is already cold. Wait, Wang Hao, I'll fry it again for you very soon." Dong Li said that he was about to go to stir-fry.

"Wang Hao, do you think mandarin fish is the most suitable fish for spring?" Dong Shi looked at Wang Hao.

"Wang Hao, do you think there needs to be a dish with a strong taste in a set meal?" Wu Minqi also looked like Wang Hao.

"Wang Hao, I'm going to make lemon cod for you now, come and taste it, and see if its taste is very compatible with Xianduxian, and it fits in the same set meal." Zhang Guanghang walked towards the cooking table.

"Don't worry about that, Xiao Wang. Come and taste my rock sugar turtle. If you don't eat it, it will be cold. This dish can't be cold!" Jiang Jiankang reluctantly put down the bowl to serve Wang Hao the turtle.

Wang Hao: ...

He suddenly felt that today's meal was not so easy to get by.
