I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 266 Flower Banquet ([-])
The guest's surname is Sun, with a single name in white.As long as he can remember, he has always felt the sadness between his grandma's brows that cannot be brushed off.His grandfather left early, and his grandmother lived with them.One day, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Grandma, what's on your mind?"

His grandma tremblingly took out an old photo album, and instantly wiped away tears: "My dear grandson, grandma made a mistake when she was young and lost your little aunt!"

Only then did Sun Bai know that he still had a little aunt.

For so many years, the lost little aunt has become the heart disease of grandma, tormenting her all the time.Grandma passed away the year before last, and when she was dying, she was still thinking about her little daughter.In fact, the family has been trying to find it, but there is no news of the little aunt.Grandma passed away with great regret.

Not long ago, he suddenly got a reply under the content posted on the relative search website.There was an IP from someone abroad who left a message for him, maybe his mother was their long-lost relative.

Sun Bai quickly contacted the other party, and after several verifications, he finally came to a conclusion: it was his aunt!

My aunt still has sporadic memories of her childhood, and she was non-stop preparing to go home to meet her relatives, and also to... burn a stick of incense to her parents.

Fresh flowers and vegetables were specially prepared for my aunt's birthday by her grandma when she celebrated her fifth birthday.My aunt has been beautiful since childhood, and my grandma hopes that she will bloom like a flower in the future.

After listening to Sun Bai's story in silence, Yu Jian probably had an idea in her heart. She smiled slightly and comforted him: "I understand, you go and pay the deposit."

Sun Bai's eyes lit up, he stood up and bowed to her: "Little Boss, thank you in advance!"

The first time he came to Yu's restaurant happened to be the final of the gourmet competition. He had just finished a [-]-hour operation and was tired and hungry. He happened to pass by Yu's restaurant and was attracted by the loud voices inside.Originally, he just wanted to eat something and go back to catch up on sleep, but the waiter enthusiastically served him tea, and then he was nourished by the hot mutton soup. Hearing the applause from the diners around him, he looked at the food in the bowl. Few meals left.For the first time, he felt that chefs are like doctors, sometimes they can really save people between life and death.

Later, he inadvertently mentioned Yu's restaurant in the office, and the intern who was sorting out the patient's data suddenly became interested and described to him all the delicious dishes in the restaurant.Only then did he know that Yu's restaurant was so famous in the catering circle in the capital.

……

Two days later, on the last Saturday before the Chinese New Year, Sun Bai took his aunt and the whole family into the gate of Yu's restaurant.

Zhou Xiaoyan was waiting at the door of the big box, pursing her lips and smiling: "Please come in—"

Pushing open the door, two lines of poems appeared on Sun Bai's alarm clock instantly: one is "the color of the grass is green and the willows are yellow, the peach blossoms are chaotic and the plum blossoms are fragrant", and the other is "the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun".

Everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery, and their eyes intertwined and tossed among the flowers and plants, and they were reluctant to look away for a long time.

It was Sun Bai who settled down first, "Everyone, take your seats." Then he said to Zhou Xiaoyan, "Don't worry too much."

In the severe winter wind and snow in the twelfth lunar month, the scene of scattered flowers and plants in the room is like a fresh warm current, wandering in everyone's veins.

On the dining table, six cold dishes had already been placed, and the names of the dishes were written on small wooden pieces. The lowercase characters were upright and graceful, as delicate as plum blossoms waiting to bloom in the spring scenery of the garden.

Hibiscus flowers in vinegar sauce, squab slices with lotus flowers, jellyfish mixed with magnolia flowers, braised cabbage with morning glory, and a rose salad.Sun Bai nodded secretly, taking into account his aunt's eating habits abroad.

Just as she was thinking, Zhou Xiaoyan came in with a teapot, "Lilac ginger tea, drink a small cup to warm your stomach first."

The color of the tea was clear, and Zhou Xiaoyan moved her hands and feet with a certain elegance. She scooped out brown sugar foam from a small jar and stirred it into the tea. The sugar-colored tea steamed and turned red.

Sun Bai took it, only felt the spiciness of ginger mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and honey with sugar, it was slightly hot to start with, but it was fragrant.Take a sip, but the taste is unexpectedly soft, slowly flowing through the throat, leaving a mouthful of sweetness and fragrance.

Aunt Sun was also attracted by this kind of floral tea, she was not satisfied after drinking a cup, she poured another cup and rubbed it in her hands.

"The guests eat cold dishes first, and the hot dishes will be ready immediately." Zhou Xiaoyan refilled the teapot and retreated, leaving a private space for the family.

Sun Bai first tasted the hibiscus flowers in vinegar sauce.Hibiscus flowers are peeled into petals, leaving only the most tender parts, such as repeated rinsing in clean water, drained and mixed with seasoning, soaking the petals with juice, and then edible.Originally, Sun Bai didn't have too much expectation for this flower banquet, but in winter, when the flowers withered, it would be nice to barely have some flower petals.

Unexpectedly, just a cup of scented tea would open his eyes, and the hibiscus flower in his mouth...

Sour, sweet, and salty, the three flavors alternate in the mouth repeatedly.The sour taste makes the sweet taste clearer, the sweet taste makes the salty taste more profound, and the salty taste makes the sour taste more refreshing.This layered taste stimulated his taste buds and rushed straight to his spiritual cap.

From the point of view of shape, rose salad just touches people's hearts.The color combination of lettuce leaves, carrots, cucumbers, asparagus, and bright red roses amazed Aunt Sun, who already had a strong sense of aesthetics: "God, this is an art that only God can do!"

Crispy.

It was the first feeling that this dish gave Aunt Sun.The rose petals are frozen in ice water, with a hint of coolness, and after chewing, the freshness becomes longer.Carrots and gherkins are cut into delicious small cylinders, which are crunchy when bitten.

There is also the faint fruit sweetness in the sauce, which is mixed with the floral fragrance layer after layer in her mouth.

She sighed faintly: "It turns out that flowers can still have such a smell."

Meat dishes have a completely different taste.

The squab wrapped in lotus leaves is soaked in floral spices, and the whole body is filled with a special aroma.When you poke it with chopsticks, the meat will be softly pulled into a silky shape. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as soft, tender and smooth.

Aunt Sun put the bright and smooth pigeon meat into her mouth. The salty freshness carried a continuous flow of floral fragrance, and revealed the freshness of summer lotus leaves, as well as the charcoal gas after the flame erupted after roasting.Just this mouthful, I really want people to look up and sigh, how can it be described as delicious!

"咚咚-"

The waiter knocked on the door curtain lightly, and after getting the answer, he pushed the cart and walked in.

Aunt Sun and Sun Bai looked at the dining car at the same time, and their eyes were instantly blurred again.

The dishes on the porcelain plate are either red or yellow, or blue or purple, but without exception, they say the same sentence: "Come and taste it, I'm so delicious——"

"Gudong."

Not knowing who it was, he swallowed clearly and loudly.
