Wu Qian tried to scoop a spoonful of Wensi tofu, and after entering it, her eyes narrowed.

"Is this tofu?" Wu Qian half stood up and carefully observed the filaments in the soup bowl.

"There was also ham and chicken in it, but not much, you can tell by the color of the soup. A good Wensi tofu should be milky white, that is, the color of the tofu, if the level is not enough, it can only be made cyan or red. Yang Rui was satisfied when he spoke, and after returning home, he ate a lot of big fish and meat, but he didn't have a chance to taste the delicate and delicate food.

Wu Qian asked puzzledly: "Why is the level not enough, what is made is cyan and red." ”

"The level is not enough, the cut is not enough tofu shreds, you can only put shredded vegetables or ham, there are more green vegetable rooms, and more ham is red. ”

Wu Qian stuck out her tongue: "I think the red one may be more delicious." ”

"If it's something else, the chef might rather put tofu than ham. Wensi tofu is too much of a test of knife skills, and if you don't have enough skills, you ask him to cut tofu, and he can't cut half of it out of ten. It is the top chef, he can't guarantee that he can cut out a piece of tofu at a time, this is the most laborious place, the big hotel has to make several portions at a time, the chef with good knife skills is busy and can't cut out the tofu, so he is naturally reluctant to put it, and the smaller hotel can only cut out how much to put it, the chef is tired, and it is good to be able to make up a bowl. ”

Yang Rui said and scooped up Wensi tofu, watching the thin tofu shreds slowly slide down.

Wu Qian nodded inexplicably and asked, "Is Chunhelou a big hotel or a small hotel?"

Yang Rui was stunned for a moment, and thought about it: "Of course, it is big in Nanhu City, but in a hotel that can make Wensi tofu, it is not necessarily. ”

"Pretend to be garlic!" Xiao Cheng couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "Qian'er, don't look at him going to school in Beijing, he is a student, how can he have any money to go to a big hotel or a small hotel, and he also talks decently, as if he goes to the restaurant every day." Put green onions in the pig's nose and pretend to be an elephant!"

Wu Qian didn't wait for him to finish, stood up suddenly, and asked embarrassed and annoyed: "Who do you call Qian'er......?" You're the pig's nose with the green onion!"

"It's not...... I'm just going to say it in passing. "Although Xiaocheng's father is the mayor, he is still young after all, and he has not yet practiced a thick enough face, and he was trained by Wu Qian, and he suddenly couldn't save face.

"I can't just say it. Wu Qian's eyes widened and said, "I don't know you, and you don't know me, how can you ......?"

"I am...... Oops, didn't you still have a fish head? Why can't you come up yet? Xiao Cheng held back his strength and shouted to the back kitchen: "If you don't go up, you don't want it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged aunt in the back kitchen rushed out violently: "If you want to quarrel and go out to quarrel, don't affect the guests! ”

The middle-aged aunt's voice was very loud, and the whole hall was full of echoes.

Yang Rui looked left and right, and said in his heart: There are two tables of guests in total, and the other table is scolded by you and dare not say anything, and you are the one who affects the guests the most.

Xiao Cheng didn't dare to roar like a lion with the middle-aged aunt, so he shrunk his neck and sat down.

The middle-aged aunt snorted contemptuously, returned to the kitchen, and after a while, came out again and asked, "Your braised silver carp head is ready, do you want it?"

"Yes, how not. Yang Rui touched the two chopsticks and made a motion of sharpening the knife.

Wu Qian laughed out loud, only to think that Yang Rui's movements were quite interesting.

Of course, as a man who is more handsome than a movie star, it is natural to make handsome moves.

Xiao Cheng looked unhappy and helpless.

The middle-aged aunt saw Yang Ruichang's comfort, and when she didn't start the lion's roar, she only turned around to serve the food, and complained: "You have to pay for it or not, and you don't want fools." ”

Wu Qian smiled lightly: "It's good that we want it, otherwise we will be fools." ”

Xiao Cheng muttered to himself: What's so funny about this. It was so fierce just now, and now it's gentle again, why!

Suddenly, a huge white porcelain basin was served on the table, steaming hot and fragrant.

Not only did Xiaocheng stop talking, but the people at the table next to him also shouted: "What kind of dish is this?

"Dismantling the stewed silver carp head, a famous dish in Huaiyang. The middle-aged aunt glanced back and said, "Don't order it, this is specially made by Master Yuan, don't expect another plate of fish heads that can have five catties." ”

"Why? The back table was dissatisfied: "They are also here to eat, and we are also here to eat." ”

The middle-aged aunt popped out of her teeth with a sentence of "love to eat or not", killing the audience in seconds.

Yang Rui's gaze was completely locked on the fish's head. The head of a fish is 30 centimeters long, longer than a person's forearm, and it is split in half in the middle, revealing the tender white flesh of the fish.

The soup is thick and milky, a bit like Wensi tofu just now, but it is bubbling and bubbling, which instantly arouses people's appetite.

The waiter kindly reminded: "Drink soup first, then eat meat." This is the bottom of Master Yuan's chicken soup, which ordinary people can't drink. ”

Yang Rui didn't speak, first filled the soup respectfully, and didn't use a soup spoon, just stood and drank it with a bowl, another sip, and another sip, before he exhaled a breath of hot air and said with a smile: "It's delicious." ”

The waiter hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Just drink it." ”

When I drank a bowl of soup, my whole body felt hot.

Yang Rui took off his coat, picked up the soup spoon, and dug down towards the eye socket of the fish head.

He dug one for Wu Qian first, and then dug the other one for himself, and then said: "This part is called fish paste, which is the essence of the fish head, you can taste it, it is absolutely delicious." ”

Girls in the 80s are far less squeamish than later generations, and they won't eat Tutu because they are cute.

Wu Qian boldly picked up half of the fish paste with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

A rich aroma that immediately bursts out in the mouth.

The pure gum and the flavor of the soup stock have a flavor that even abalone has never had.

Yang Rui took a big piece and tasted it with his eyes closed.

During his semester in the capital, in addition to doing practical yàn, half of his entertainment activities were carried out in major restaurants, and Huaiyang cuisine among the four major cuisines naturally did not eat less. In the 80s, Beijing had a considerable talent agglomeration effect, and there were endless first-class chefs in various hotels, although eating in these places required precious foreign exchange coupons, but there were still people who were willing to try it from time to time.

Of course, there are local tyrants like Yang Rui who linger.

Chunhelou moved from Yangzhou in the early years, and it was an authentic Huaiyang cuisine, but now Master Yuan of Zhentang is a local special chef, and the dishes he makes naturally absorb the local characteristics of Hedong, which is very in line with Yang Rui's appetite.

The two looked satisfied, leaving Xiao Cheng at a loss with a soup spoon.

The fish paste comes from the gum in the fish's eye area, and Yang Rui snorted two spoonfuls down, and there was hardly much left.

Xiaocheng had the heart to scoop some leftovers to try it, but he couldn't pull it off. Looking at Yang Rui's methodical action of drinking the soup first and then eating the fish paste, Xiao Cheng was even more worried about making the wrong steps and making people laugh.

After such a delay, Yang Rui moved his chopsticks again, swept away all the remaining fish paste, wiped it dry, and said casually: "Don't dare to eat fish eyes, then you probably don't dare to eat fish lips." ”

Saying that, Yang Rui took away all the two fish lips, still half for himself and half for Wu Qian, and said: "Fish lips are different from fish cream, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is." The reason why this dish is made with a large fish head is to eat the fish paste and fish lips. In ancient times, when large families feasted guests, each of the fish paste and fish lips was given to the guests of the main seat, and then a fish paste and a fish lip were shared on the left and right, and the other guests could only eat fish meat......

Xiao Cheng, who was just about to give up the steps, had already put his chopsticks on the fish and meat when he heard Yang Rui say this, and his nose suddenly smoked......

"Wait for my people to come, wait for my people to come......" Xiao Cheng silently recited the mantra three times, lowered his head, and ate his vegetables attentively, no longer caring about what was happening around him.

When the fish head was almost finished, the two friends called by Xiaocheng finally arrived.

Xiao Cheng casually introduced Yang Rui and said: "This is the eighth child, this is Xiao Wu, and I grew up playing with it." ”

beckoned the two to sit down, and Xiao Cheng said again: "This is Yang Rui, the top student in last year's college entrance examination, he is amazing, my father asked him to follow me." This is Wu Qian, my friend. ”

Xiao Wu is a handsome young man, not as good as Yang Rui, but he is also quite pleasing to the eye. The eighth child grows a little horizontally, with small eyes aimed at people, quite a bit of Jianghu atmosphere.

The eighth child glanced at Yang Rui for a while and asked: "What's the use of being the champion in the college entrance examination, reading blindly every day, does the champion don't need to read?"

"Gotta see more. ”

"Hey, it wasn't in vain. ”

"This thing depends on talent, some people are tired and half dead and can't get into high school, I didn't bother much, and I won the championship. Yang Rui tapped his head with his fingers and said with a smile: "People are smart, there is no way." ”

The eighth didn't turn a corner all of a sudden, and it was cold.

Xiao Cheng touched his stomach and said, "There is a menu at the door, you can order your own food." ”

"I'll do it. Xiao Wu smiled, took the menu, and asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

"No, I can't eat it. ”

"That's okay, the two of us have two dishes and one soup. Xiao Wu ordered, called the waiter, and handed him the new order.

This time, the waiter returned the order to the kitchen, walked out again, and chatted with the young waiter who had cleaned up the dishes.

The young waiter looked like a student, packed up his things, and sat down at the table next to him to drink water.

The middle-aged aunt said pityingly: "Look at you, can't you just clean up after they finish eating, but you have to clean up now, you're tired, right? ”

"Sister Han, people are sitting on the side. "The young waiter was embarrassed.

"You should let them know that you've done a lot of work. She glanced at Yang Rui's table, saw that no one resisted, turned her head with peace of mind, and continued: "Xiao Ren, Sister Han, I'll sell you an old man, I'll tell you, if you do something, you have to let people know that you can't hide it." The leader doesn't stare at you every day, don't do anything, you don't let the leader know that you have done so many things, how to turn positive. ”

"Oh. ”

"Oh what, you have to be bold, girls are more spicy so that they are not bullied. ”

"Oh. ”

"Again. Sister Han said helplessly: "If you continue like this, when will you be able to turn positive, you don't want to become a regular?"

"I ......" Xiao Ren lowered his head, plucked up his courage for a while, and said, "I want to take the test again." ”

"What?"

"I want to go to university again. Xiao Ren clenched his little fists and said in one breath: "I want to go to Xibao Middle School to repeat, I have seen it, they are recruiting repeat students from the city this year, and the tuition fees will be waived if they have high scores." The champion of our Hedong Province is from Xibao Middle School, and I want to try again. ”

Sister Han looked like she was about to cry, and couldn't help but feel pity: "Silly Nizi, the top student in the college entrance examination is Wenqu Xing, and he didn't grow up in Xibao Middle School...... As soon as you walk on the front foot, someone immediately fills in your position on the back foot, and it will be difficult to find a job in the future. Nowadays, it is not easy to find a formal job, not to mention, you can also transfer your household registration if you become a regular. You are lucky, you just happened to meet the recruitment, and you only accepted the students who failed the list, otherwise, you would have broken your leg, and you would not have met this kind of good thing, do you remember how happy your father was when he sent you over? You just left, but you became a farmer. ”

"University graduates are assigned a package and move their hukou. Xiao Ren's voice was small.

Sister Han smiled: "Don't talk about college students, secondary school students are all assigned to move their household registration, but secondary school students are not easy to take the exam." When my daughter signed up, I said, "People in our small place can't be so high...... It's so ambitious, it's the word, we have to do things down-to-earth, Nanhu City can only produce a few college students a year, and they are all one middle school and two middle schools, let's take a college and secondary school with peace of mind, as long as you are admitted, you will have an iron rice bowl, and you don't have to worry about it for a lifetime, guess what, isn't this just being admitted, doing a good job in school, and when it comes to distribution, you can also divide a good unit, don't you say?"

When talking about her daughter, Sister Han is still quite proud.

Xiao Ren said "En" softly.

Sister Han came to her senses and smiled again: "When you took the exam last year, how many points did you score?"

“310。 ”

"310?

"College ......"

Sister Han clapped her hands: "Look at it, isn't this broken? At that time, I applied for a college and secondary school, maybe I left...... Wait, let me think about it, you are like this, you go to Master Yuan, just say that you want to go to school, see what he says, if he agrees to read books when you go to work, you will take the time to review. When the time comes, you will go to school if you are admitted, and if you are not admitted, it will not delay your regularization. ”

Xiao Ren's eyes lit up slightly: "Then what if he doesn't agree?"

"If you don't agree, if you want me to say, you can take care of it, and when you become a regular, you will take a correspondence course, isn't it the same? ”

"It's not the same. ”

"What's different?"

"I ...... I want to go to college. "The weak girl is stubborn, but she is full of resilience.

Sister Han sighed and persuaded kindly: "Xiao Ren, the people of our small place......"

"Yang Rui is also from a small place. Xiao Ren stood up suddenly, trembling slightly all over his body because of excitement.

Sister Han was stunned and asked, "Who?"

"Yang Rui, Yang Rui is also the champion of the college entrance examination in Hedong Province, no, he is the champion of the national college entrance examination, and he is from Xizhaizi Township, Xi County, Nanhu City. Xiao Ren shook his head vigorously, his weak shoulders shook violently, and said: "He is from a small place, and I am also a person from a small place, a person from a small place, and a person from a small place can also ...... You can also have dreams, and you can also ...... You can also go to university!"
