Lisko’s American Life

Looking at the signature Mingyao Roasted Goose, this is a very famous roasted goose brand in Hong Kong. In the early days of the reform and opening up, it came here to invest and open a store. Over time, it has become a well-known delicious restaurant.

Zhang Li walked into the store very skillfully, and ordered a roast goose leg rice and a cup of yam and Poria cocos pigeon soup for everyone.

The soup culture in Guangdong and Guangxi is the most famous in the whole country, and it has reached the point of being famous all over the world. The most important thing in Cantonese breakfast is all kinds of soups.

There are also the selected top ten tonic soups, and this one ordered by Zhang Li is one of them.

All kinds of soups are very nourishing. In the past, Liske liked to go to Shaxian snacks to order a soup for breakfast, and he would solve his breakfast with steamed dumplings.

The decoration of this shop is not as new as the previous Bing Kee, and it is full of traces of history. You can understand its thickness from the changed color of the decoration.

Lisko looked at it. Even though it was evening, the store was still full of customers. This time it was more lucky. As soon as he entered the door, there was a table of customers who had just finished their meal and were about to leave.

In this kind of store, the most important thing is the speed, the speed of serving food, and the flow speed of customers. This kind of store may entertain thousands of customers at most in a day, so there is no fast speed, which will damage the reputation. of.

Lisko and his party had just taken their seats, so they had time to chat, and their meals had already been prepared.

Yu Qing went over to help bring them over. Lisko and the other three had already disassembled the chopsticks, and they were just waiting to eat them.

As soon as the food was served, there was a tangy aroma of roasted goose, which has not been smelled for a long time. The maroon goose skin was covered with separated meat. Lisko quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. inside.

The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the portion is very substantial, but it satisfies Lisko's desire for meat.

Speaking of which, Guangdong and Guangxi especially like ducks and geese, but there are still differences. Guangdong always loves roast geese, because the climate here is very suitable for raising geese, and Cantonese people have eaten geese for hundreds of years. According to records, the Cantonese spent more than 700 years in order to breed high-quality geese.

Various rivers and streams in Guangxi are more suitable for breeding ducks.

This kind of roasted meat culture began to multiply from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and then it was divided into two types: Hong Kong-style roasted meat and Cantonese-style roasted meat. There are rumors that this cooking method was introduced from Arabs and Indians. After the food, local chefs joined in and improved it, but because of the age, it can no longer be refined.

Now roasted meat has occupied a large position in the faction of Huaguo. Cuisines from all over the country have more or less absorbed this kind of cooking method, and it has become the unique food culture of Huaguo.

The taste of roast meat is a bit sweet, which is unique to Guangdong. They like to add sugar to many diets, and this place was a famous sugar production place in ancient times, which also has an impact on the cuisine.

Cuisine has a lot to do with local eating habits, economic conditions, climate, and social atmosphere. Therefore, some people say that food culture is really justified. You can experience the development of this region through each dish. and history, and the spread of culture.

After Lisko finished eating a plate of roast goose legs, the soup was served in due course. Lisko stirred it, and there were yams, poria cocos, and of course pigeons that were not as big as a palm.

Take a sip of the still steaming soup, it tastes delicious, although you can't taste it, there is a strong smell of tonic.

This kind of squab is almost invisible in the West, and it’s funny to say, in many countries, pigeons are a symbol of peace, plus the meat is relatively small, and few restaurants eat this, but in modern times, there are many Western pigeons. The restaurant began to try to add this ingredient to the national cuisine.

From this, we can see how the joke that Cantonese people eat everything came from.

This saying has been around for a long time. Even in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a record that "Yue people got anaconda and snakes as a delicacy". People in the Southern Song Dynasty also exaggerated the description: Cantonese "do not ask about birds, beasts and snakes, and eat them all."

"Sir, what is this?"

Charles stared curiously at the pieces of meat in the soup pot, and asked Lisko next to him.

"Don't ask, is it delicious?"

There was a smirk on the corner of Lisko's mouth, and he didn't answer Charles' question directly.

"It's not bad, but I didn't taste what it was, it feels a bit like chicken?"

After Charles finished all the food in his bowl, Lisko was willing to tell him the answer.

"This is a pigeon."

After finishing speaking, he watched Charles' reaction curiously, waiting for him to turn pale with shock.

But Charles didn't fulfill Lisko's wish, his complexion changed, his throat swelled, and then his complexion returned to normal.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Lisko asked Charles.

"No, sir. When we were in the army, we ate mice, frogs, and bugs. In comparison, this is not bad."

Lisko was too busy watching his jokes, but forgot that Charles had been a soldier, and he was a special force, so the training was even stricter, and this kind of training was often carried out.

With a face full of disappointment, he walked to the next destination, Er Xiao Teppanyaki.

Teppanyaki is also a food that Lisko likes very much. In his previous life, this and barbecue were the things that Lisko and his colleagues ate the most.

Compared with barbecue, teppanyaki is healthier. First, it will not touch open flames, and will not produce a lot of pollutants. Using teppanyaki to fry food does not require a lot of oil.

But barbecue also has its own advantages, that is, the taste of food grilled by this kind of open fire will be better. As for which one to choose, it depends on personal taste.

Of course, Lisko has always sneered at the idea of ​​which is healthier. I have already eaten this kind of food, so do I still care about which is healthier?

This Erxiao Teppanyaki is also very famous in the snack street. Of course, what is famous is not the food, but the Buddhist attitude of the boss.

Whether this store opens or not depends on the mood of the boss. I can't help but admire the boss's self-willedness. Outsiders seem to be very free and easy, but also because of this kind of business method, the fans are even more popular. Instead, they used hunger marketing in an alternative way. method.

Today, it can be said that Lisko and the others are lucky. The boss may be short of money, and it is rare to open for business, but there is a long queue in front of the door.

"What should I do? I really want to eat."

Zhang Li stomped his feet, as if the saliva in his mouth was about to flow out. The air was full of the smell of cooked food, mixed with cumin, pepper, and unique spices. The sound of sizzling on iron plates.

"Let's line up."

Lisko is very free and easy. Isn't it normal to line up to buy things in the snack street? There is always a wait for delicious food.
