Since the emergence of new tableware, the eating habits of Chinese people have also begun to change.

From the initial meal sharing system, to the later when everyone ate at the table, table manners also changed with the change of eating habits. Compared with the previous one-person meal sharing system, the family eats around the dining table, which is more warm.

However, at this time in the world, the principle of separate meals must be observed in formal occasions. In the end, it is the feudal era as the background, and the subordinates and superiors eat together, and it is better to have a sense of hierarchy. Eating at the same table can be a little restrained.

For a dish, if you have to go down to the chopsticks from the superiors, the subordinates will dare to move the chopsticks, which will be very embarrassing to eat. In particular, Wen Ming can't be regarded as an employee of the yamen strictly speaking, just a salesman of Wanshiwu who receives a part-time salary and helps by Wang Yong's side.

Maybe one day, after Wang Yong has a stalemate with Wanshiwu, or is disqualified from C-level membership, he will have to return to his original post.

"Separate meals...... I feel that there is a little less flavor of the New Year...... "Wang Yong took over the task of the New Year's banquet, and naturally began to consider the menu of the New Year's banquet.

"Braised lion's head is naturally indispensable...... Cured beef...... Forget it, there is no such condition...... Gourd chicken can be included in the alternative ...... The problem with steamed fish is that if the sea bass is fresh, the cost is not ordinarily high...... Braised pork, in the case of braised lion's head, is a bit repetitive, after all, this is a banquet ......" Wang Yong ticked the box in the New Year's dish.

Rice cakes can be considered, the staple food is of course dumplings, seasonal vegetables are nothing more than lettuce, cabbage, onions, radish, spinach, mustard greens and sweet beans, etc., fungus can also be included in the alternative......

Speaking of which, it seems that there will be mushrooms for sale in the winter market, and I don't know what the situation is here.

Chickens, ducks and fish must not be missing. If the chicken is a white chop, then the duck or goose should be roasted; If the chicken is gourd chicken, then the duck is mainly chopped white, after all, it is obviously not appropriate to have two dishes with similar cooking methods at the banquet.

With the elbow braised hooves, one north and one south. The south is called round hooves, and the north is called elbows. However, in the case of a divided meal system, the visual sense of the hooves is much worse.

There are abundant grains, no sweet potatoes, no corn and no pumpkin, at least not to the point where they can be splurged. Old vinegar peanuts are a good choice, and the appetizer for the banquet is also a good choice.

The soup can't be made with chicken and duck offal and vegetables, so you have to choose a soup that can serve the noodles. Soft-shelled turtle is a good choice, add ham to stew, light and sweet, as an appetizing soup, but a good choice.

Of course, boiled prawns can not be less, choose prawns, pick off the shrimp line, pour a little wine into the water and boil it until it is about nine ripe, use ginger and garlic with soy sauce, and drip two drops of sesame oil as a dipping sauce, which is also a good dish. It can be brought up in the middle of a relatively greasy meat dish to play a role in connecting the previous and the next.

In the end, the menu was roughly determined: appetizer - skin jelly; Foreground soup - soft-shelled turtle and ham soup; side dish - steamed sea bass; Choose four main dishes, namely braised lion's head, boiled prawns, gourd chicken and stewed lamb in an iron pot; Staple food – dumplings; Vegetables – spinach in soup; Dessert – crème brûlée; Liquor – Du Kang / Rice wine.

"Alright, I've probably decided on the menu!" Wang Yong wrote down the menu, "Help purchase raw materials!" ”

"Okay!" Wen Ming took the menu and saw that what seasonings and ingredients were needed on it, all of which were indicated, so he nodded and immediately went to the Wanshi House to coordinate, which was his job in itself. The key thing is that he also has a share of the banquet that night!

In order to make the dish even more delicious after two days, there is one thing that must be prepared, and that is - soup!

"I haven't boiled soup before......" For Wang Yong, the soup is too far away from him, and the ingredients are mainly lean meat, old chicken and ham, and it takes more than four hours before and after to boil successfully.

In ancient times, the soup was the existence of 'monosodium glutamate'. Wang Yong has checked it before, or only seen it once, but now his memory has improved, but he directly recalled: 19 catties of lean meat, 8 catties of old chicken, 3 catties of skinless raw ham, 42 catties of water, and about 30 catties of soup with slow fire. Of course, because it is a trial work, it is scaled year-on-year, and it can be boiled for about two or three catties.

"The time is two days later, in other words, I only have two days to experiment...... "These materials are here, Wang Yong can prepare them at any time, but how to prepare the most delicious soup is another matter."

The definition of soup is not 'soup', but a 'seasoning', which can be used in cooking, stir-frying, Sichuan soup, boiling, simmering, and stewing, in other words, not only spinach in soup, but also other dishes.

"Soak the skinless raw ham in water to remove the excess salt...... Peel the old chicken...... Then blanch the lean meat separately from the pork bones...... Boil the blood foam to remove it, then remove it. Prepare a large pot of water, then add the chicken, lean meat (pork bones) and ham and simmer for four hours...... The proportions are not misplaced, and the ratio of each material is strictly in accordance with the formula...... However, the soup that comes out of this way is just standard...... Far from being a soup that belongs to 'me'......" Wang Yong processed the ingredients one after another according to the recipe, turned on the fire and slowly simmered, looking at this soup pot, he couldn't help but sigh.

The most standard is not necessarily the 'best' choice. Among all the ingredients with a strong umami flavor, the umami is extracted and the absolute balance is maintained, which can be regarded as one's own 'exclusive' soup.

"Sniff ...... Worry-free, what are you secretly doing to eat? A cute dog was obviously attracted by the smell, and when he saw Wang Yong in front of the stove and something was stewed in the pot, he immediately ran over.

"I'm boiling soup, isn't it full for dinner? And I just ate candy apples! Wang Yong complained directly.

"I'm just curious about what I'm stewing, and it tastes so good...... Sniff ......" Xun Yu twitched his nose.

"What is used in this New Year's dinner is called soup, not so much soup, but more appropriate seasonings, add some when cooking, you can improve the freshness...... Wang Yong did not hide it.

"How long will it take?" Xun Yu hurriedly asked, saying that the invisible tail behind him had already wagged and wagged.

"Two hours! And this is my first time trying, it's hard to guarantee the taste...... "Wang Yong really can't stand her, "Go back and have a good rest, you will taste it at the banquet the day after tomorrow!" ”

"Huh? Is it going to take that long? That can't be helped...... I'll go back first! When Xun Yu heard this, he suddenly had a disappointed expression and left dejectedly...... Defeated dog?!

Suddenly I felt that I needed a complaining person around me...... It's very uncomfortable to hold it in my heart like this...... Wang Yong looked at Xun Yu's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Lord Chef, the materials you want, the Wanshiwu is hurrying up, and it is estimated that it will take a day to prepare in the surrounding counties!" Half an hour later, Wen Ming also came back to report. In the end, the construction of the house has just begun, and the warehouse has just been built, so the materials are indeed not so rich.

"It's okay, you have to prepare it for me by the day after tomorrow!" Wang Yong nodded, with his privilege, if the business is expedited, there is no additional fee.

"In order to be able to have a good meal in two days, my subordinates will do their best to follow up!" Wen Ming solemnly promised.
