Chapter 1090: Strong alliance
"Liuquanju's survival is related to the dishes it sells." When you get here, you have to follow the old rules and drink rice wine.
This rice wine cannot be the "Shaoxing Yellow" that is famous in later generations, nor can it be the "Yanjing Yellow" that is of poor quality due to changes in the capital's water quality, but the "Shandong Yellow" that was sourced from two nearby provinces. ” and “Shanxi Yellow”.
Ask the waiter to warm up the wine, Mr. Wang introduced this place to everyone: "In the early years, Liuquanju was funded and opened by Shandong people. In front of the store was a three-front shop, and there was a wide yard behind it. It was run by , naturally it is Shandong cuisine."
"Later, I learned from the imperial court, and became good at grilling, stir-frying, and simmering, and developed many of my own special dishes."
“The first is Shandong noodles, including grilled steamed buns, silver rolls and bean paste buns.”
“The grilled steamed buns here were once the best in Beijing. They are brown and crispy on the outside, white and soft on the inside, and are steaming hot when you break them open. , full of an alluring aroma of wheat "
"The old man is not a man." Mr. Yuan teased him: "How can I introduce steamed buns to the guests first, so that I can save money for food?" >
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
Pour the hot wine evenly, follow the rules of Laohuang Hotel, and combine it with dried and fresh fruit fennel beans, and everyone can drink and chat at the same time.
“In the early years, the carrots here were the most authentic. Among them, caramelized lotus seeds and fresh milk were made in the palace and were very popular.” The Silk Sea Crab, Hot Kidney Squid, etc. are all quite good.”
“We also introduced some new dishes later, such as Fried eel paste, fried dough sticks and eight-treasure rice are also good."
"There is also a special feature here, which is the 'whole crab feast', which uses crab as the main ingredient and a variety of auxiliary ingredients to make dozens of dishes. Hot dishes, cold meat and noodles.”
“But it’s not in time, we can’t eat it this time.”
Qi Lao took a sip of rice wine and said with some emotion: "In the past, the three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses were all in the layout of a shop in front and a factory in the back. The backyard was the brewing workshop. There used to be a big willow tree in this courtyard, and there was a spring well under the tree. , the well water is clear and sweet.”< br>
“The owner is using the spring water here to brew rice wine. It has a mellow taste and is called ‘Yuquan Wine’ by diners.”
“It’s a pity that we can’t drink it now!”
"Previous store Ah, it’s a good place to collect news.” Mr. Yuan said with a smile: “Friends from the press like to invite interviewees to gather here. Everyone is drunk with rice wine, and they can come up with many stories.”
< br>"Ah yes!" Qi Lao The master smiled and said: "Do you know the great journalist Wang Zhuyu? He almost broke the threshold of Liuquanju back then. Every time he used wine to interview, his colleagues laughed at him. He replied: 'The drunkard's interest is not in drinking, but in social news.' ”
At this time the food was served and everyone started chatting while eating.
Sure enough, all the dishes that Mr. Wang mentioned before appeared on the table.
“I seem to remember this place.” Zhou Zhi thought about it at this time: “Did one of Lao She’s novels use this place as the background? The layout and structure feel a bit similar.”
"Yes, the novel you are talking about is called "Under the Red Banner"." Liu Zhengyun also remembered: "It is the background of Lao Liuquan's residence."
Mr. Wang smiled and said: "There are also people who are known as 'Beijing experts', the folklore artist Jin Shoushen, the dramatist Jing Guxue, and the old journalist Jin Jishui. Their alcohol addiction is not ordinary. They are Liuquanju's bowl of wine." ' are regular guests. These three are both literary friends and distant relatives. They meet for drinks every time they have free time. When they are happy, they will write a few poems and even sing a few lines of Pihuang. "
"It's almost the same as the Seahorse Club." Mr. Ma smiled and said, "But now I have changed from singing to disco."
"Now the regular customers are old and young." Qi Lao said: "I know , Pu Jie and Hu Jieqing both wrote plaques for this shop. "
Hu Jieqing was the wife of Mr. Lao She. She became a monk at the age of forty and began to learn painting. However, she was gifted with Qi Baishi's true biography and became a famous painter. Pujie was an old man from the previous dynasty who later became a war criminal. He studied calligraphy since he was a child. He first studied Yu Shinan and then studied Shoujin style. Finally, he was influenced by his master Zhao Shijun and became his own style. His works are elegant, vigorous and graceful. There is a saying in the calligraphy and painting circles: "Shu Tong's roundness, Pujie's sharpness" vividly describes the characteristics of the two's calligraphy art.
Everyone’s conversation turned to the latest news in the capital, and everyone began to talk about their own things. When they were interested, they crossed paths with each other, which was quite lively.
Only now did Zhou Zhi have the opportunity to chat with Wei Yi and Wu Qiaomu.
Wu Qiaomu has a calm character, but this calmness is actually something he shows deliberately, but he is actually quite detached in his heart.
The main reason is that this guy heard a saying from Zhou Zhi when he was a child, "Taishan collapses in front but does not change its color; elk rises to the left but does not blink." He thought it was very awesome and deliberately trained himself to be like this. look.
But if you want to please girls with this look, you have to think too much.
Logically speaking, as a top student and a top athlete, he should be very popular among girls in school, but this sworn brother is an exception.
The royal sister Su Meng doesn't like Wu Qiaomu and often complains about his "love to pretend" in front of Zhou Zhi.
Only those who can understand the sultry "flesh" underneath the sworn brother's shell will fall in love with him.
Luckily Wei Yi is this kind of person.
Wei Yi has the character of a gentle big sister, cheerful, generous and tolerant, but she also has her own clever, charming and naive side in front of her relatives.
A girl like this can easily control Wu Qiaomu.
Even Mr. Yuan likes this "beautiful couple" very much and always likes to see them together.
It is a mystery when the relationship between the two was established. Wu Qiaomu is very tight-lipped. Every time he asks questions, the answer is "love at first sight".
Zhou Zhi estimated that the love at first sight that Mr. Qiao was talking about was the time when he was selling balloons during the first year of high school. Later, the two began to exchange letters, and gradually talked about life and studies. When they came to the capital to study together, Only at some point did the relationship become official.
It should be said that Miss Wei Yi played the role of "counselor" for a period of time in Wu Qiaomu's life. She is a female junior and holds gold bricks. This is not the best way to describe the relationship between Wei Yi and her sworn brother. More than appropriate.
The parents of both families are very supportive and wish they could get their certificates tomorrow. In his most exaggerated thoughts, his godfather and godmother never imagined that his son's girlfriend could be the first female graduate student in Jiachuan and the first person in Jiachuan to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an intern.
Not to mention how outstanding Miss Wei Yi’s achievements were during her time at school.
Mom and dad Wei also like the tall and handsome Mr. Qiao. Although this child is a bit dull, he is also an "intellectual dullness", just like Hua Luogeng boiling a watch like an egg. species, with its own immune halo.
In fact, even Zhou Zhi sometimes carries such a halo. When he is distracted, everyone will think: "This kid may be thinking about something again. It's better not to disturb him."
Except for this "muteness", Mr. Qiao is full of advantages. He almost replicates the "road to academic supremacy" that Miss Wei Yi has gone through. He also has an additional sport, calligraphy and painting, He is truly capable of both literary and military skills.
This kind of uncle is at least one of the best in Jiachuan County, and he is hard to beat.
"Have you been in touch with you a lot on the plane?" Zhou Zhi was also very pleased with the "strong alliance" between Wei Yi and his adopted brother, but he was more concerned about his good buddy: "This guy seems to have become aggressive when he got to school, Sister Yi Do you also advise him? ”
