Chapter 78 Eat the most authentic Shandong cuisine


Chapter 78 Eat the most authentic Shandong cuisine

Lin Sanqi is from the south, and it is no exaggeration to say that Huadu is a gourmet paradise.

People in Dongguang eat even Hu Jianren, which shows that they love food to the point where they have no scruples. If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by national laws, they would probably eat like crazy.

As for Sijiucheng, it is considered a food desert in the eyes of southerners.

What delicious food is there in the capital? Bean juice? Focus circle? Fried liver? Bursty? Fried noodles?

Some people may say, Lin Sanqi went to the famous gourmet place in Sijiu City today. To correct me, Fengzeyuan does not cook "Beijing cuisine", but authentic "Shandong cuisine". Most of the chefs are from Shandong. Fukuyama people......

Lin Sanqi, Pan Ye, and their brothers and sisters sat on the dining table on the first floor.

There are private rooms above the second floor of Fengze Garden, and ordinary people like Lin Sanqi are not qualified to go up there.

Nothing happened that looked down on others. At this time, Fengze Garden was already nationalized and was all serving the people.

The waiter at that time was already a formal hotel staff and became the host. Of course, he welcomed guests from all over the world.

Lin Sanqi sat in front of the table, looking left and right. What she saw was not how luxurious the decoration of the hotel was. This was incomparable to Drunken Jiangyue in the Flower Capital in 2023.

Lin Sanqi was watching the passenger flow, and then he was surprised to find that even though it was the difficult period of 1959, there were still people coming and going in the Fengzeyuan Hotel at noon, and it was very lively.

Those wearing white shirts and polished leather shoes walked in from the outside with rosy faces. Then there were also some red-faced white shirts who greeted them, and then both parties shook hands and went to the box in a lively manner.

There are also some who come with whole families. The older ones walk with their chins raised to the sky and ignore the staff who welcome guests.

The young man had a nonchalant look on his face. He put his hands in his pockets and walked sideways, as if he didn't care about anyone. He was almost familiar with his own family when he entered the restaurant, so he obviously came there often.

Who are these people?

Lin Sanqi was a little curious, thinking that these people must be the same as him, they are all time travellers, and they all have fake food stamps in their pockets, right?

Otherwise, when people all over the country are hungry, how come they treat restaurants like their parents' homes and eat so fat?

Pan Ye saw that Lin Sanqi was absent-minded and quickly asked softly:

"Lin Sanqi, what's wrong with you? Did you see someone familiar?"

"Oh no, I'm just curious because it's my first time at Fengze Garden. Let's order."

In small restaurants, customers are required to go to the window to order food and pay before eating, such as the Red Star Hotel at the entrance of the alley.

But Fengzeyuan is more user-friendly and provides a menu. Although it is not as beautifully printed as later generations and only has a thin page, it also reflects rare service.

Lin Sanqi was already a little excited at this time. After traveling to this era for half a month, she could finally go to a restaurant.

"Pan Ye, why don't you order first and see what you want to eat?"

Pan Ye took the menu, looked at the price and his face changed. He lowered his voice and reminded: "It's too expensive. One dish here can last a week at home."

"Is it expensive?"

Lin Sanqi took the menu and read it, sea cucumber roasted with green onions, 8 yuan. Oops, the price is indeed expensive,

Just one dish may cost ordinary people half a month's worth of food. Even the children of a wealthy intellectual family like Pan Ye were dumbfounded, and the older Pan Cen even shrank his neck. Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously. It was his first time to invite a beautiful woman to dinner. How could it be so cheap? You must have the courage of a coal boss.

"Don't be afraid. It's expensive. Today we want to taste the original flavor of Fengzeyuan. I'm afraid that in a few decades, these delicacies will be lost."

A middle-aged male waiter next to him was unhappy after hearing this:

"Comrade, our Fengze Garden was established in 1930. The famous chefs in our store are all famous in the Four-Nine Cities, such as Mou Changxun, Wang Shizhen, Chen Huanzhang, Li Zhengxin, Feng Chengli, Chen Fengming, Zheng Fuxiang, Chen Jintang, Have you heard of these old gentlemen?

Not to mention these old gentlemen, there are young gentlemen such as Wang Yijun, Shi Guangnan, Liu Fangchun, Xu Yinzhi, Li Jian, Gao Fengwen, etc. They are also chefs who can cook family banquets for the adults in the sea. You think our Fengze Can’t the garden be passed down? ”

Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed. He was from Huadu. He was familiar with Cantonese cuisine among the eight major cuisines, but his eyes darkened when you tried to talk about Shandong cuisine.

He knows the correct answer in a few decades. Most of the so-called eight buildings and eight gardens have disappeared.

Even if they don't die out, the declining time-honored brands have lost their former glory. When you open various mobile apps, you will complain about these time-honored brands for being unreliable.

Fengzeyuan is the one that gets the most complaints.

In fact, it’s not that time-honored brands are unreliable, but that these time-honored chefs have been out of service for more than ten years, and there are too few latecomers who can learn the essence.

But now of course you have to support others in their territory, otherwise it would be too low of emotional intelligence. Aren't you afraid that the chef will spit in your food?

"Yes, yes, you taught me the right lesson. It's my first time here and I'm talking nonsense without knowing the situation. Just because you just reported the names of so many chefs, I know that the taste of your Fengze Garden is definitely the same."< br>


When the staff member heard this, his expression immediately became triumphant.

"Excuse me, can you recommend your store's special dishes?"

The attitude of this male staff member has become very enthusiastic at this time, and he has the intention of letting you bumpkins see him:

"Our Fengze Garden is most famous for its first-grade bird's nest, Babel shark's fin, sea cucumber roasted with green onions, fish maw in casserole, white grilled shark's fin, minced chicken and cabbage, braised fish fillet, braised skirt, and braised mullet eggs. After you taste it, you will never be able to eat any other cuisine.”

Lin Sanqi thought, just brag, Shandong cuisine is so good, why can't it beat Sichuan cuisine, which is famous for its spicy and delicious flavor?

Of course, he couldn't say that. At this time, Shandong cuisine still dominated the Four-Nine City, and Sichuan cuisine was still the younger brother.

Then Lin Sanqi made the final decision: "Okay, please serve all 10 dishes."

The staff member almost fell over after hearing this and kindly advised:

"I said, little comrade, although the 10 dishes I mentioned are the classic Shandong cuisine in our Fengze Garden, the prices are not affordable for ordinary people. Why don't you order a few home-cooked dishes? For example, nine-turn large intestine, Stir-fried kidneys, hibiscus chicken slices, crystal elbows and so on.”

Lin Sanqi thought for a while and asked: "Is it delicious?"

"It must be delicious!"

“If it’s delicious, then it’s all in.”

The staff fell down again, thinking that they were getting more and more persuasion, how could they order food like this? Is this someone's prodigal thing that brought trouble to the family's money? Is there any place for reimbursement?

He, an outsider, felt sorry for Lin Sanqi's money.
