Chapter 252 West Lake Vinegar Fish

"I don't know either, but Brother Tao told me just now that it was Sichuan cuisine."

Wang Xue said that Wang Xue often eats "double-cooked pork", but she never knew that this "double-cooked pork" was Sichuan cuisine. Wang Xue has always thought that this "double-cooked pork" was Zhejiang cuisine.

"Haha, Lao Xu, you are ignorant. This 'refilled pork' is indeed from Sichuan cuisine."

Wu Quan said that after all, Wu Quan is the village secretary, and he has many opportunities to go out for dinner. After eating too much, he likes to be better than any dish. Therefore, he is more familiar with the main dishes in various cuisines, so he also knows that this "dry-cooked pork" is Sichuan cuisine.

"Haha, it's better for you to be knowledgeable, Secretary."

Xu Yuan said with a smile. In fact, Xu Yuan was secretly scolding Wu Quan in his heart: "If I could be like you, someone would invite a restaurant to have dinner every few days, I would know that this 'refilled pork' came from Sichuan cuisine."

"Wang Xue, tell Ergou that we people from southern Zhejiang should make more Zhejiang-based dishes, after all, everyone is used to eating it."

Yun Changda said to Wang Xue. Yun Changda was really afraid that Yun Tao would become addicted to making Sichuan cuisine, so he became depressed when pouring it out. After all, people in the south, especially those in Wenzhou, southern Zhejiang, are not used to eating spicy dishes. In people's impression, Sichuan cuisine is very delicious, but it is also spicy and uncomfortable.

"Well, I'll tell Brother Tao now."

Wang Xue responded and walked towards the kitchen again. In Wang Xue's opinion, she didn't have the energy to chat with these old men, and it was more interesting to see her men cooking.

"No, I have to call Lao Wu, Lao Liu and the others. What are you doing? I haven't come yet. Such delicious dishes can only be seen and smelled. It's really painful."

Yun Changde said with some depression. Now that the saliva in his mouth is almost dry, why haven’t these people come yet? He has no idea of ​​time.

"No need to call, aren't we all here?"

Yun Changhong's loud voice came from outside the house. Soon Yun Changhong and Yun Changming walked into the house one by one and one behind.

"Look at what time it's already? Why are you here now? I don't know that everyone has been waiting for it very hard."

Village secretary Wu Quan said to the brothers Yun Changming and Yun Changhong who entered the house, "Are these two brothers awesome? Let the village party secretary and Yun Changde wait for them."

"Haha, isn't it until six o'clock yet? You shouldn't have much time. How can you say that it's very hard to wait for us? It's exaggerating." Yun Changming said with a smile.

"Haha, why don't you sit next to this table and smell the fragrance of this dish? Let's see if you will have a hard time waiting." Yun Changde said.

"The food is ready, no wonder I smelled the fragrance from afar outside the yard." Yun Changhong said.

"This dish is so good-looking. These dishes are so fragrant. This Ergouwa's cooking skills are so good."

Yun Changming looked at the steaming dishes on the table and drooled, "It's so fragrant, so tempting."

"Secretary Wu, brother, Accountant Xu, Changming, Changhong, you all come. I'm so embarrassed. I just went out to buy something with the child's mother and I'm only back now."

Yun Changda and Wang Mei walked into the house. Seeing that several members of the village were already in the house, they said apologetically.

"You can't just buy this 'Jin Liufu'." Wu Quan asked at the "Jin Liufu" wine in Yun Changda's hand.

"Haha, it's rare for the village committee leaders to come to our house for dinner. No matter how good wine is, they can only be treated." Yun Changda said with a smile.

"Haha, I said Changda, you are stingy too. Just this 'Jin Liufu' wants to send us. Fortunately, I had the foresight and brought two bottles of 'Maotai liquor' for 1995 years. Only when the good dishes are served with good wine can you taste it. It tastes artistic."

Village secretary Wu Quan pointed to the two bottles of "Moutai" placed next to the table and said that these two bottles of Moutai were given by others a few years ago, and one bottle can now be bought for thousands of yuan. Wu Quan is willing to drink it.

"Come to my house, how can you bring you wine?"

Yun Changda hurriedly said. After all, he was the owner today, but he drank the wine brought by the guest and showed that he was not authentic as a landlord.

"Don't talk to me about anything else. Today I will drink the 'Maotai liquor' I brought. No matter how good the wine is, it will taste without good food. I came to your house to borrow this good dish with wine today." Wu Quan said.

"Haha, Secretary Wu, you are willing to take out these two bottles of precious wine to drink. In the past, you would never let anyone touch you when you came to your house to drink." Xu Yuan said.

"Haha, who dares to let you touch it? You alcoholic, if you touch these two bottles of precious wine, you won't be drunk by you." Wu Quan smiled and scolded Xu Yuan.

"You're all here, why don't you sit down and eat first, otherwise the food will be cold and it won't be delicious."

Wang Mei said, this is the fact that the dish will be undesirable if it is cold. Fortunately, it is summer and autumn and the weather is still very hot. If it is winter, the dish will be cold in just a while.

"Except for the college student Li Yangyang who didn't come, Li Meili was the one who hadn't come yet." Xu Yuan looked at it and said.

"Women are really, they will be slow. They have not come yet. Changming, call her to urge her." Yun Changde said to Yun Changming.

"OK."

Yun Changming picked up his cell phone and called his niece-in-law Li Meili.

"Beautiful, where are you now? Why haven't you arrived at your Uncle Changda's house yet?" Yun Changming spoke when he saw the phone call answering.

“At home.”

Li Meili said with some confusion. After all, she agreed to go to Yuntao’s house for a drink at six o’clock. It’s only a little over five o’clock now. It’s still a long time. If you go to eat at any time, don’t you have to wait until you are late. Sometimes you have to wait ten minutes late.

"It's already what time, why are you still at home? Come here soon, we're all here, we're waiting for you." Yun Changming said.

"You are all here, didn't you agree to be at six o'clock? Why did you all go so early?"

Li Meili asked strangely, "It's so strange today. Why do the village cadres who usually drink late? When did they become so active? In half an hour, they all went to Yuntao's home. It's really strange."

"That, beautiful. Since you haven't left the house, don't worry. Just take your time. Let's wait for you while eating."

Yun Changde took Yun Changming's cell phone directly and said to Li Meili on the other end of the phone. According to Yun Changde's intention, if Li Meili is not waiting for him, he will start eating first, so that there will be fewer people who compete with him for food.

"Okay, you guys eat first, I'll come later." Li Meili said.

"Okay, that's it."

After saying that, Yun Changde hung up the phone directly. Li Meili was not active in eating and regretted it at that time, but she would not blame others.

"Haha, Changda, let's start eating first. Li Meili will have some time to come." Yun Changde said to Yun Changda.

"Okay, everyone, sit down and have a meal quickly. Smell such delicious dishes. Don't talk about you, I'm so hungry now." Yun Changda said.

So everyone sat down, picked up their chopsticks and tried desperately to kill the dishes on the table.

...

"Brother Tao, what dish are you cooking now?" Wang Xue asked Yuntao.

"West Lake Vinegar Fish." Yun Tao replied.

"Brother Tao, the village cadres in the house said that you would cook some Zhejiang cuisine. They were afraid that they would not be used to Sichuan cuisine." Wang Xue said.

"This 'West Lake Vinegar Fish' is a very famous Zhejiang dish." Yun Tao said.

“Is it very famous?”

Wang Xue asked curiously, after all, Wang Xue had heard of this dish, but she didn't know which dish it was, and she didn't know what its reputation was.

"There is an allusion to this dish." Yun Tao said while cooking.

"What an allusion?" Wang Xue asked curiously.

"It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, there were two brothers of Song who were quite knowledgeable but did not want to be officials. Therefore, they lived in seclusion in the world and made a living by fishing. There was a bully in the local area named Zhao Daguan. Seeing that Sister Song was young and beautiful, he conspired to kill Brother Song and wanted to occupy Sister Song."

"At this point, the Song family's uncle and sister-in-law fell from the sky and were heartbroken. In order to avenge their brother, the uncle and sister-in-law went to the yamen to complain. However, the government and the evil forces at that time vented their anger. The complaint failed, but they were beaten and drove them out of the yamen."

"After returning home, my sister-in-law had to let my brother escape from a foreign land. When my sister-in-law broke up, Sister Song specially used a bowl of sugar and vinegar roasted fish and said to her brother: This dish is sour and sweet. I hope you can make a successful career, and don't forget the bitterness of today."

"Later, Brother Song went out to fight against the Jin Dynasty and defended the country, made contributions, returned to Hangzhou, punished the villain, but he could not find his whereabouts. Once he went out to a banquet, he learned about this dish. After asking, he knew that his sister-in-law was hidden and served as a chef here, and he was reunited. This is the origin of this 'West Lake Vinegar Fish'."

Yun Tao told Wang Xue about this sad allusion. After finishing the talk, the "West Lake Vinegar Fish" in Yun Tao's hand was also ready.

"Haha, the story is over, and this dish is ready, you can bring it out." Yun Tao said to Wang Xue, who was still immersed in the story.

"Brother Tao, the story you told is really nice. I didn't expect that this 'West Lake Vinegar Fish' would have such a sad story." Wang Xue looked at the "West Lake Vinegar Fish" in her hand in surprise and said.

"Haha, in all Chinese cuisines, any famous dish has a story. This is also the perfect combination of Chinese cuisine culture. The dishes and historical stories make the dishes and stories a long history." Yun Tao said.

"Brother Tao, you will tell me the allusions of every dish you make later, I love to listen to it." Wang Xue said.

"Okay, but not all dishes have allusions, that is, some famous dishes have allusions." Yun Tao said.
