Chapter forty-five eating out

Don’t think that “Zhang Dashao” didn’t give the Hong family this face, but rejecting other people’s kindness for no reason is also a burden.

In addition, "Zhang Dashao" usually does Hong Yanwu's "business" and sells a lot of "high-priced dishes".

And only he himself knows best whether the money was handed over to the public or not.

So no matter where you hit, you're always a little embarrassed.

So, this "Zhang Dashao" rarely sent an invitation within a few days, hoping to treat him on weekends and take Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to the restaurant.

When Hong Yanwu takes this matter, of course he feels good at it.

Not to mention the whole world of food and drink in Paris, New York and Tokyo in his previous life, he also claimed to have eaten all the best time-honored brands and big hotels in the capital.

In addition, he wanted to flatter, so he said to Zhang Dashao in lieu of his business, "Where are the dishes outside that you cook? But since you have this elegant atmosphere, our brothers are willing to accompany you. Otherwise, let's invite you, whether it's 'Cuihualou', 'Fengzeyuan', 'Judequan' or 'Shundonglai', you can choose whatever you want. Hi, let's say that, even the Beijing hotel is fine. We are not afraid of spending money, as long as you go back and make up our dish."

Look, you are willing to exchange a meal for another dish? You can also buy a Beijing hotel?

Needless to say, these words naturally made the itchy flesh of "Zhang Taishao".

However, although this master was "crying" and did not agree with the situation, he instead provoked Hong Yanwu's mistakes.

"You kid is really a person who loses your ancestors. You are still a descendant of the Hong family. Why do you say it all in layman's words?"

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but be stunned, "Oh, what do you mean?"

"Zhang Dashao" then told him with disdain.

It turns out that the Beijing dialect is quite particular. In the past, almost every word had a clear difference and should not be used incorrectly.

To be respectful, the word "you" and the word "he" should be called "you", and the word "he" should be called "无", all correspond to each other.

Then the same is true if you describe the place.

For example, when you usually say "going" wherever you want, it has a solemn and formal meaning.

Go to the unit, go to Chang'an Street, go to the police station, this is OK.

If you want to say "go", you will feel an equal ease.

For example, you can go to the park, shop, or cinema.

By analogy, let’s look at the word “Xiao” in “Xiaoguanzi” and you will understand.

This not only means self-reliance, but also implies that the place where you eat should still be divided into levels of upper, middle and lower.

Don’t forget that people in the capital have always summarized the cooking restaurant as a “mansion house”. The house is a house above and the house below.

So speaking of this, the restaurant is of course the highest level.

Most restaurants in Beijing are marked by the word "tang" behind the store name.

The standard in scale is that there are wide and high-end courtyards, which can hold high-end banquets with dozens of tables and hundreds of tables.

Like the "Yanqing Hall" opened by the Hong family in the past, "Yanxi Hall" are among the top ten halls in the capital, not only with stages but also with gardens.

Such big deals are like luxury five-star hotels. Of course, they cannot be maintained by receiving individual customers. The main business is to host weddings and weddings and weddings.

Therefore, people call it "Shangjian".

Whether it is admiration for the store's wealth or respect for the host's visit, it is worth the word "up" to be used.

Next, the restaurant is one lower than the restaurant.

As the name suggests, restaurants are all suffixed with "lou".

Although such a place cannot host a large banquet, it has a pavilion and a private room with elegant seats, which is quite large.

In addition, there must be famous chefs and high-end specialty dishes to become famous in the capital.

So this is the main place to receive high-end individual guests and small gatherings, and it is also an integral part of high-end catering in Beijing.

For example, the "Yanmei Building" of the Hong family is one of the eight major buildings in the capital. This statement must be "go to Yanmei Building". It is not appropriate to use "up" or "down".

Finally, let’s go down and it’s the restaurant’s turn.

Compared with restaurants and restaurants, restaurants are not only smaller in scale, but also mostly bungalows with no courtyards.

The font size is mostly based on "living" and "residence", which is more straightforward in modern times, and it is often called "some restaurant" or "some restaurant".

As for restaurant signature dishes, although there are many famous dishes that are well-known in Beijing, in most cases, the dishes are less.

The raw materials are also ordinary, and chicken, duck, fish and meat are mostly made of, without delicacies, so the price is relatively cheap.

Needless to say, this must be a dining place for ordinary customers.

There are also business deals like this in the Hong family. In the past, the "Yanxing House" of the Hong family was one of the eight major residences in the capital.

Therefore, the use of "Go to the South of the Yangtze River" is actually similar to "Qianlong's Going to the South of the Yangtze River". It can reflect a person's psychological state.

Of course, there is an exception, when the customer mentions the specific store name.

In order to show respect for the store and humility, I would say that I would go to Xiamiju, Kaoru, Liuquan, and Guanghe.

From this point of view, the simple sentence "Zhang Dashao" reveals a lot of information, which means that high-end places have long been excluded.

And speaking of this, there is another crucial reason.

That is, high-end catering is receiving different customer groups. For leading cadres and foreign guests, the Grand Restaurant pays more and more attention to decency and ignores taste.

In addition, they often participate in kitchen food cooking competitions, which led to the prevalence of artistic platters. Therefore, many traditional dishes are unpredictable, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also flashy.

"Zhang Dashao" is very despised and shamed for such a dish that is luxurious and ignorant of taste.

For this reason, he gave specific examples.

For example, if you say that egg whites are beaten and piled up like snow, it can be used as a substitute for cream.

As a result, there was a restaurant where the "braised eel back" was placed in the middle of the plate, and high egg whites were piled up around it, and the name was changed to "Hidden Dragons in the Snow".

They also invented a dish called "Snowflake Crab Beef" in which crab noodles are loaded into the original shell and a ball of egg white is piled up on it.

If you encounter this dish at a banquet, you can avoid egg white when you put the chopsticks on the first dish, but the second dish must be adjusted to the egg white before it can be put into the mouth.

It can be seen that this innovation is purely a move to take off your pants and fart. The egg white embellishment is not only helpless to the dish itself, but also affects the taste of the dish.

On the other hand, the price is getting higher, which is really a scam.

As for the restaurant, since the chefs have been specializing in small shops for many years, many dishes are done by themselves.

If you concentrate on your work, your level will be quite good after years of practice. You can often find good dishes.

So, I really talk about eating. Now that I’m just going to the big restaurant, it’s all a lie!

It's a good explanation. Although it's a bit pretentious to say "Zhang Dashao" when one "gets off the restaurant" so many words.

But considering the background of the Hong family, it is no wonder that he made fun of Hong Yanwu.

Who told his ancestors to do this? As a descendant of the Hong family, he was not only ignorant, but also forgot his roots.

Therefore, Hong Yanwu not only didn't care, but was quite grateful and said that he had learned a lot.

Even he and Chen Liquan still had some expectations in their hearts.

Why?

Just because of this, they both felt that going to a small restaurant with "Zhang Dashao" might not be normal.

Maybe it can open your eyes and really enjoy the desire to enjoy the taste.
