Chapter 357 Blind Sold
"Xingyuan Lu" is a collection of recipes collected by Li Huanan, the father of Li Tiaoyuan, during the Qianlong period. It consists of two volumes with informative content and detailed descriptions. It records cooking, brewing, pastries and snacks, There are a total of 121 methods for processing, beverages, and preservation, including many methods for processing delicacies such as bear paws, deer sinews, bird's nests, shark's fins, and abalone. As well as processing ham, sauced meat, salted duck, wind chicken, etc., they are all involved.”
“This can almost be regarded as the ‘ancestor’ of my Sichuan cuisine, and it also marks the origin of my Sichuan cuisine from the beginning. It has the typical characteristics of official banquet dishes and government dishes."
Zhou Zhi nodded repeatedly. The old Liu family has a profound background and seems to have something.
“Actually, before this, there was also a book called "Sui Hua Ji Li Pu", which was a book about the scenery of Shu capital that people of the Yuan Dynasty painstakingly compiled; it recorded many dishes."
"After that, there were "Tu Feng Lu" and "Zhong Feng Lu". In the Republic of China, Li Jieren recorded many dishes in his collected works. In addition, there were two books - "Feast Feasts and Feasts, Prepare Dings According to Samples" and "Beijing" "Famous Restaurant Recipes"..."
"Wait a minute, old man." Zhou Zhi raised his hand immediately after taking the notes: "In the Beijing Hotel. And Sichuan cuisine?"
"Of course." The old man couldn't stop talking: "There are more than 150 dishes, all representative of the public cuisine."
Yeah. , the old man seems to despise the Jianghu cuisine of Xiahe Gang, and always talks about official banquets and palaces. The blackness in this area is also deeply rooted.
However, this did not prevent Zhou Zhi from discussing with the old man enthusiastically. The meal took a little longer. After the main meal, the old man asked Manager Fei to drink with him over peanuts and Mianzhu Daqu. I chatted with Zhou Zhi all afternoon.
Finally, the old man summarized a book list for Zhou Zhi: "Instructions on Diet", "Qing Jia Lu", "Taiping Yulan·Food and Drink Department", "Zhong Xi Lu", "Qing Yi Lu: Diet Part", plus "Yi Ya Yiyi" and "Xingyuan Lu" combine these After reading the ancient books, I should be able to speak well."
The harvest of this trip was something Zhou Zhi never expected. In his mind, it was comparable to buying that weird big porcelain vase, which was worth studying. Zun Zun, the harvest is even more satisfying.
"I'm here today. Listening to an old man's words is better than ten years of reading." Putting the notebook away, Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "But then again, old man, I think my second brother is very good at cooking. I can’t blame him for this hobby. I think it’s still in your old man!”
Liu Sanye sighed: “It’s true! Thanks to Teacher Fei’s care, my father and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing today, but... this man is getting older, and there is always something missing in his heart."
"See this. There is no courtyard. In fact, no one wants to live there anymore," Mr. Liu said, "But this is the ancestral hall of the old Liu family, so someone has to take care of it, right?"
“What I want to do is to buy this ancestral hall and then repair it to restore it to the way it looked when I was a child.”
At this point, Mr. Liu sighed again: “But that’s it. It requires a lot of money, so I have no choice but to Tie the two children here and let's take care of these things together."
Zhou Zhi nodded silently. It should be said that the old man's decision was not bad. He really wants to buy this old yard and repair it. It will be worth it in twenty years. It was so scary.
So he said: "This is actually a good idea. I think the back of the ancestral hall is the sacrificial chamber and the residence, and the front is the courtyard of the guild hall. However, it is too messy now, and even the drainage is affected. Influenced.”
"If you can really recover, turn the front part of the club into a teahouse or restaurant and let my second brother run it. You can always enjoy it in the backyard. It's good that my second brother is experienced in the skill of twice-cooked pork. Just with this dish, the business is not bad." No. ”
"I just don't know if I can wait until that day..." The third master's eyes fell on the patio outside.
"Well, it's getting late." Manager Fei said: "These goods are all good this time. All the porcelain, calligraphy and paintings belong to me, but I won't accept these small pieces. There are all in the Gongmei warehouse. There are more.”
“There are a lot of them here. It’s eight thousand yuan, Erba, put it away for your grandfather.”
The remaining small items are mostly ink pad boxes, snuff bottles, loose beads, bronze mirrors, silver hairpins, etc. It is indeed a good thing, but the price is indeed average today.
"Old man, please take charge of these things and I'll take them." Zhou Zhi chatted with Third Master all afternoon and felt that they had similar temperaments and wanted to help.
"If you like the elbow, then a thousand and a half." The third master said calmly. The price was actually quite high, but Zhou Zhi didn't care about it: "Okay, Uncle Fei, I'm going to bother you again."
Manager Fei knew that this kid was not short of money. He gave the money without saying much.
"Old man, take good care of yourself." Zhou Zhi took Liu Sanye's hand and patted the back of his skinny hand: "If my parents still let me come out during the next holiday, I will definitely come to visit you. Old man."
"Your accent is from Jiazhou? That's a long way away."
The Jiazhou accent is quite similar to the Jiachuan accent, which is something people in Sichuan often make mistakes about.
"Haha, old man, I am from Jiachuan. The lower part of Manzhou is close to the Yangtze River in Yuzhou, but it is farther than Jiazhou." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I am young and can withstand running."< br>
"Come if you have the chance. Now you can have someone to talk about scriptures with. It’s hard to find a young man. Third Master, I’m very happy today.” Third Master Liu smiled and nodded: “Then, please put the things in the car for Teacher Fei and Xiuzi, but be careful.”
"Let's work together, have we prepared enough scrap newspapers?" Zhou Zhi said quickly.
After everything was properly put in the car, the two of them said goodbye to Brother Liu and were about to leave, but they saw Master Liu tremblingly coming to the gate again: "Teacher Fei, please stay here, please." We have something to discuss.”
Zhou Zhi and Manager Fei looked at each other and walked over again: "Old man, do you have any other instructions?"
"Follow me." Mr. Liu didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall. .
Everyone returned to the place where they had just eaten. Mr. Liu ordered Erwa: "Go and take off the flower board beside my bed. There is a box inside. Take out the box."
< br>The second baby went and after a while, he brought back a large dark wooden box.
The wooden box doesn't seem to be heavy, so there shouldn't be anything heavy inside.
Liu Sanye put his withered hand on the box and breathed a sigh of relief: "I have to persuade you today. I think it makes sense. The younger generations have their own ideas. This is a good thing and not a bad thing."
“This box contains items passed down from my ancestors. Teacher Fei has known me for a long time, so let’s buy them for a fixed price of 50,000 yuan. "
"Well, let me take a look at the things." Manager Fei started to touch his white gloves. Seeing that Mr. Liu said solemnly, he also became serious: "If the things are suitable, fifty thousand yuan is fine."
When Manager Fei put his hand on the box, Mr. Liu did not let go of his hand. Instead, he shook his head gently.
"What do you mean, Third Master?" Manager Fei couldn't help but be confused. The rule of the antique store is not to handle the goods. Now that Third Master is like this, he can't look at it.
"Blind selling." Zhou Zhi saw the secret from the side and asked cautiously: "Third Master, is this what you mean?"
"Elbow really understands the old rules..." The Third Master's smile showed Somewhat bitterly: "Your fourth cousin has trained you well..."
