Chapter 111 Work hard and live life slowly
Lin Zhongwei was very familiar with the nearby situation, so Jiang Hui simply asked him to recommend a place to eat.
There are many delicious restaurants in the capital area, so you have to find various opportunities to experience them.
“Tongyixuan Restaurant, the name of this restaurant seems a bit unfamiliar.”
In the evening, after using up two rolls of film for shooting, the three of them went to have dinner.
"I have never been to this restaurant, but it seems like there are a lot of people coming to eat."
Zhu Lin also looked around curiously, wanting to see the restaurant recommended by Lin Zhongwei What's so special about it.
“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of the name Tongyixuan Restaurant.”
“But you must have heard of the name Baodu Feng, right?”
Lin Zhongwei took the lead and took Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin to find a table next to them and sit down.
"Of course we have heard of Baodu Feng."
"It is said that the earliest Baodu Feng shop was opened in Houmenqiao, and was taken over by the second generation descendant Feng Jinhe in the late Guangxu years of the Qing Dynasty."
"Feng Jinhe In the operation, we devoted ourselves to research and careful production, and selected the ingredients carefully to make the fried belly more flavorful. It was deeply favored by the gardeners, eunuchs and bannermen in the palace."
"Later, I worked as an errand in the palace. Recommended by the eunuchs, Baodu Feng became a special place for serving stomachs in the imperial dining room of the Qing Dynasty. "
Zhu Lin is a native of the old capital, and he still knows a little about those time-honored restaurants.
"Xiao Zhu, you are right."
"Later, Baodu Feng moved to Langfang Ertiao outside Qianmen. At that time, Langfang Toutiao was a finance, calligraphy and painting street, and Langfang Ertiao was an antique street."
“Baodu Feng did a good business here. When the third generation Feng Guangju passed on, he already had some savings, so he moved the store to Menzhang Hutong.”
“The Menzhan Hutong gathering place back then. It sold many snacks in the capital and became a famous food street in the old capital at that time."
"Baodu Feng's Baodu is famous for its crispy, tender and delicious flavor, which has attracted celebrities from all walks of life to come to support it."< br>
"Celebrities such as Lu Xun and Ba Lao are regular customers of Baodu Feng."
Hearing what Lin Zhongwei said, Jiang Hui had some understanding of Baodu Feng.
In his previous life, he had heard of Baodu Feng, but he had never tried it.
"Is it possible that this restaurant is the restaurant after Baodu Feng changed its name?"
Jiang Hui somewhat understood why Lin Zhongwei chose to eat here.
The price of food like this kind of fried belly is generally not particularly high.
Today is the first day for everyone to get to know each other. If you take us to a high-end place to eat, it will obviously feel a bit like robbing people.
Jiang Hui asked Lin Zhongwei to recommend places, and it seemed that he had put some effort into it.
If you are looking for delicious food that is not too expensive, you may not be able to find a restaurant that meets your requirements if you have no experience.
“It doesn’t count as a name change.”
"From 1937 to 1957, it was the most prosperous era of Menzhang Hutong. Baodu Feng gained quite a reputation at that time."
"It was only in 1957, after the public-private partnership, Baodu Feng was merged into At Tongyixuan Restaurant, the descendant of Baodu Feng entered the company's joint venture and continued to be responsible for the Baodu and Shabu stalls as a private representative. "
"So we can continue to eat Baodu Feng here today. "
Lin Zhongwei explained it to Jiang Hui patiently.
“What specialties does Baodu Fengdu have? Let’s try them all today.”
Since you are going to treat guests, be generous.
Besides, Jiang Hui also wants to taste this time-honored dish.
"Then let me go to the counter and order together with you?"
Lin Zhongwei also became somewhat interested. Although their family's conditions are good, their previous salary was quite high.
However, going out to a restaurant is still uncommon for people of this era.
Water-fried beef louvers, water-fried lamb tripe kernels, water-fried beef tripe kernels, water-fried mushroom heads, water-fried sheep mushrooms, water-fried lamb tripe collars, fried sesame tofu, fried lamb with green onions, and three bowls of haggis soup.
Jiang Hui is crazy about other people's specialties.
"We have enough to eat for the three of us, how about these first?"
Seeing Jiang Hui's bold way of ordering food, Lin Zhongwei had a different feeling about Jiang Hui. know.
He felt that Jiang Hui and his wife must be children from a wealthy and well-connected family.
There seems to be no harm in getting to know him more.
Of course, these are all thoughts in Lin Zhongwei’s own mind.
After the two returned to the table, they continued to chat about the food in the old capital. From time to time they mentioned which places were suitable for shooting and photography. The atmosphere was quite good.
The various fried belly dishes ordered were served quickly.
"The production of Baodu Feng is exquisite. First of all, the materials are carefully selected and the knife skills are perfect. Seven parts such as the belly kernel, belly collar, mushroom head, and Sandan are used as the varieties of Baodu. When cutting, the width should be wide, the thickness should be thin, and the width should be fine. Degree.”
Looking at the dishes that were served, Lin Zhongwei couldn’t help but comment.
“These dishes look simple, but the requirements for heat are very precise. For example, the time for blasting Dan Dan is 5 seconds, the time for bursting belly plate is 7 seconds, and the time for blasting belly gourd, belly collar, and belly mushroom is 8 seconds. Zhong. ”
“These dishes can be said to have different tastes. Some are crispy, some are tender, and some are chewy and fragrant. Different varieties have different tastes. ”
“And the condiments they produce are very good. A bowl of condiments is made from several condiments. When you eat, dip it full of condiments, put it into your mouth slowly, and savor it carefully. It has a unique taste.”

Before Lin Zhongwei could say anything else, Jiang Hui couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and said, "Old Lin, stop talking now. My saliva is about to flow out. Let's have a taste first."
I have to say , a time-honored brand of this era, is still very impressive.
The cooks are probably all descendants of Baodu Feng. They have real skills, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to achieve such a big reputation.
It looks like a very ordinary material, but after you put it in your mouth, the texture is perfect.
“I’ve just walked so many places and I’m hungry too.”
Zhu Lin saw that Jiang Hui had already started and was not polite.
As for Lin Zhongwei, he will naturally not be polite at this time.
When going out to restaurants in this era, few people will be polite to meat dishes.
The three of them quickly finished two or three plates of food, and then started to slow down after having something in their stomachs.
“You have to work hard and live your life slowly.”
"It's such a pity that I haven't tasted such delicious food before."
Jiang Hui's words were really not a joke.
He is definitely very interested in eating.
In the past, it was okay if I didn’t have money. Now that I don’t have money, I must eat better.
“You have to work hard and live your life slowly.”
"That's a great thing to say."
"Xiao Jiang, when you want to come out to take pictures in the future, just call me."
"I will make sure to take beautiful pictures of you two. . ”
In Lin Zhongwei’s opinion, Jiang Hui and his wife are also the best models.
When the time comes, my works may still leave a mark in the great era.
