Chapter 14

"Gall Prime Minister" Wang Qinruo has the title "Gall Prime Minister" not only because of his despicable treachery, but also because of a lump on his neck that looks like a bowl.

The edges of this lump are not clear, the skin color is normal, and it is said that it can increase and decrease with people's joy and anger.

Wang Qinruo sought many famous doctors for this, but still did not get better. For this reason, he cursed the doctors for being useless, and even killed many famous doctors who couldn't cure his tumor.

That's why Gu Ziying and Du Qingshan said such things just now.

"In short, brother Du has a special status now, so don't take the initiative to provoke Wang Qinruo. Let's go after dinner. It will be bad if he sees you."

"That's right." Gu Ziying also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Brother Du, let's go back quickly."

Du Qingshan wanted to wait until he met the chef of the Suocuilou, but the two of them were right, if Wang Qinruo found him, there would be another entanglement.

Therefore, he no longer persisted, saying: "Alright."

The three of them left Room [-], and the bartender at the door hurriedly ushered the three of them downstairs. When they arrived at the stairs, they saw government guards standing on the left and right sides of the stairs.

Seeing this, Gu Yi stopped and said to the bartender: "By the way, we made an appointment with Zhou Qiang just now to meet your new cook, and I almost forgot about it."

"Oh." The bartender turned around and said with a wink, "Then Mr. Gu, please go back to the room and wait a while. I'll go and see if Miss Xiaochen is busy."

"I don't want to be idle." Gu Yi pouted his mouth in Room [-], "Isn't the chief chef over there doing the cooking himself?"

"Young Master Gu is amazing."

The three returned to the room again, Du Qingshan said with a smile: "It seems that if we don't leave today, we won't be able to leave either."

"What kind of person, you have to bring officers and soldiers to have a meal, and treat him as the emperor."

"Aying."

"Okay, I don't want to say anything." Gu Ziying sat back at the table, "Shall we order more food?"

"up to you."

Gu Yi came to Du Qingshan's side in front of the window: "Brother Du likes the scenery of the West Lake so much?"

"Looking at this lake in the distance reminds me of the Bian River."

With Bianliang as the center, the Northern Song Dynasty established the "Four Water Canals" consisting of Huimin River, Jinshui River, Wuzhang River and Bian River.

The Bian River mentioned by Du Qingshan is the most important water canal among them. It bears the grain of the six routes of Jiangnan, Huainan, Zhejiang East and West, and Jinghu Lake North and North. Even the water transportation in Guanzhong has to pass through the Bian River.

It can be said that the Bianhe River is the foundation of the founding of the country to the capital.

"I heard that there is a scene of the Bian River in autumn in Tokyo. Brother Du, how does it compare to the scenery of the West Lake?"

Du Qingshan recovered from his vague memories and sighed deeply:
"Every late autumn, the waves of the Bian River are rolling, the reeds are like snow, the waves hit the wind and the sound of the water is clear and clear, so it is called "the sound of the Bian River in autumn". The water of this West Lake is tender and tender. It's inevitable that you will be a little petty."

Gu Yi: "I was born in the south of the Yangtze River and grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Although I have traveled around the Jianghuai area with my master, I have never set foot in the Central Plains."

"If there is a chance in the future."

Gu Yi and Du Qingshan looked at each other and smiled: "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take a trip to Bianjing with Brother Du."

The three of them enjoyed the scenery leisurely, but Song Guichen encountered serious trouble in the back kitchen.

After Wang Qinruo tasted her dish, he was full of praise, and even ordered her personally, asking her to make an old clam with pearls.

It is not difficult to make this dish, but the trouble is that the five mussels that were delivered early in the morning seem to have grown wings and disappeared.

Everyone in the back kitchen searched all over the Suocui Building, but they couldn't find any trace of the five mussels.

The daily ingredients of Shocuilou are purchased on the same day.Especially this kind of seafood, in order to ensure freshness, they are all procured and delivered by special personnel early in the morning.

Now that she disappeared, everyone was anxious, they all surrounded Song Guichen, looking at her nervously and silently.

The old clam is pregnant with pearls, but without clams, what can I do?
Zhou Qiang frowned and said tentatively, "Why don't I explain to Mr. Wang that there are no mussels in the building today—"

"No."

Song Guichen shook her head, she had heard Master and Gu Tixing mention Wang Qinruo, this person is used to being superior, and if his demands are not met, he might do something.

It's just that even in the back kitchen of Shengcui Building, she dare not say this openly, unless she doesn't want to live anymore.

Zhou Qiang also knows that Wang Qinruo is not easy to offend, but now there is no other way to do it.

"I'll go to Han Cai to deal with it. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Director Meng. If the director comes forward, Mr. Wang won't be too fussy."

Song Guichen also shook his head, Han Song was just a small purchaser, and although Lou Zhang Meng was the head of the building, Wang Qinruo might not give the head of the building any face.

Looking around the spacious kitchen, Song Guichen's eyes lit up, and there were two yuan fish in the bucket in the southwest corner, and there it is!

"Xiaochen, you don't mean to use yuan fish instead of mussels, do you?"

Yueyue was beside Song Guichen, seeing her walking towards the barrel, she immediately guessed Song Guichen's intentions.

"The current plan is only like this."

Song Guichen scooped up the Yuanyu and washed it quickly, then soaked it in a pot of boiling water:
"Sister Yueyue, you chop the chicken over there into pieces, soak it and cook it, then chop it into minced chicken; Mrs. Mu, the pigeon eggs and wax gourd balls will be handed over to you."

Seeing that Song Guichen had made up his mind to replace mussels with Yuanyu, everyone got busy despite their doubts, and Zhou Qiang was also waiting anxiously.

Yuanyu, commonly known as bastard.

Song Guichen used yuan fish instead of mussels. First, yuan fish is delicious and has high nutritional value. It is known as "gourmet meat with five flavors";

Secondly, the appearance of Yuanyu is also similar to that of river mussels. As long as it is handled properly, Yuanyu can also look like a river mussel holding a pearl.

However, what Zhou Qiang is worried about is not Song Guichen's craftsmanship, but what Yuan Yu's represents.

Although Yuan Yu tastes delicious, not many people are willing to order this dish. If Master Wang knew that what Shocuilou served him was not mussels, but bastards, what would he think?
The more Zhou Qiang thought about it, the more she felt that it would be safer for the building manager to ask Wang Qinruo for a favor and explain it clearly.

He was anxious, when he suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance, he couldn't help but be attracted by this fragrance: "Are you ready soon?"

"I've tried my best to save time." Song Guichen said angrily, "Original fish would have to be steamed for half an hour to fully develop its umami flavor."

Zhou Qiang smiled apologetically: "This scent has already made my mouth water, I guess Mr. Wang won't be able to tell the difference."

Yueyue: "Xiaochen, what did you put in it? The scent makes me drool."

"Just poured a little Nanjiu."

At this moment, the pigeon eggs and wax gourd balls on Mrs. Mu's side have been cooked.

Song Guichen uncovered the cover, took out the fresh shellfish that was put into the pot with Yuanyu, beat them into minced meat, mixed them with minced chicken, put in cold chicken broth, egg white, scallion oil, salt, continued to stir well, squeezed into balls and put them in Put the pigeon eggs and wax gourd balls into the soup pot, cover the lid and continue steaming.

After steaming for another stick of incense, Song Guichen lifted the lid of the pot, everyone was already aroused by the smell of steaming fish, and now they came together by coincidence.

I saw the knife pattern of the fish in the pot, just like a clam shell, and the belly of the yuan fish contained pearls, shining brightly in the eyes, lustrous and smooth.

Zhou Qiang swallowed, dispelling her original worries.

If he hadn't been there on this dish, he would never have guessed that this "river mussel" was replaced by Yuanyu.

"Brother Zhou, take it quickly, Mr. Wang should be waiting."

 Lao Clam Huaizhu is a characteristic traditional dish, which belongs to Anhui cuisine. The main raw material is mussel meat, the taste is fresh, and the craftsmanship is boiled.It is made with yuan fish as the main ingredient, together with pigeon eggs, chicken balls and wax gourd balls.
