1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 317 Chief Executive He’s invitation

After all the calls came out.

Four plates of fruit were served first to provide a cushion for everyone to wait for the second course.

Most Chinese dishes are served cold before hot, vegetables before ordering, salty before sweet, fried first and then roasted, meat first and then vegetarian; dry first and then soup, vegetables first and then soup; and following general customs.

If guests have special requirements for serving dishes, they should be flexible.

In addition, I would like to say that the order of serving Cantonese cuisine is different from other cuisines. They serve soup first and then dishes.

Drinking tea and eating fresh and rare fruits was a very luxury in the 80s.

But for big guys like them, these are a bit insignificant, or it would be an understatement to say they are shabby.

Of course, they didn't come here just for enjoyment. It mainly depends on their mood. They all had a great time making jokes and chatting about anecdotes from all over the world.

"Please try these yellow peas. The Empress Dowager Cixi liked them. However, my shop cannot get the best white peas, but the peas used in our shop are also the best on the market."

For the sake of beauty, this pea yellow is also carefully placed on the plate. There are only five small pieces of hawthorn on a plate, which means five blessings come to the door.

Today, if the previous set was such a small amount, it would definitely not work, so one set cost nine yuan for two consecutive sets.

Pea yellows are a typical spring food, but now that people's lives have improved, they can eat them all year round as long as they want.

The process of making this pea huanger is quite complicated. During the production, the peas are usually ground, peeled, washed, boiled, fried with sugar, coagulated and cut into pieces.

After forming, the appearance is light yellow, the taste is sweet, cool and refreshing, and it also has the effect of reducing heat. It is called a palace snack along with kidney bean cake and steamed buns.

"I've had this before in Xiangjiang. How do you want to try the authentic pea yellow in Beijing today? I'll try it first." Mr. Bao, as the eldest person present, was naturally the first to use his chopsticks.

This is also the most basic form of respect, as the saying goes, you are a guest from afar.

After Mr. Bao put down his chopsticks and tasted it, Leader Li greeted everyone, "Don't be polite, let's use your chopsticks together!"

"Everyone, please." Chen Shi also greeted everyone.

"Okay, please."

Everyone smiled and put a piece of it on the plate in front of them in a gentlemanly manner.

Those who are more reserved will eat it in two bites, while those who are more bold will just put it into his mouth in one bite.

"Delicious, delicious." He sincerely praised this famous snack in the capital.

"Ok!"

Everyone was full of praise after eating it, and Luo Tao was very pleased with it. Maybe he was tired of eating it, so he didn't pick up a piece, so he was busy explaining to them why the pea yellow was so delicious.

I can't understand it even if I say it too much. To sum it up in one sentence, it is because it was made by Jin Ye of Xichang Tower.

It is no exaggeration to say that the pea yellow made by Mr. Jin is not at all inferior to that of Nan Lai Shuang, and it may be much better.

Then a plate of cold dishes was served, followed by hot dishes, starting with Shandong cuisine, then Beijing cuisine, and finally Sichuan cuisine.

Since the first few dishes had whetted everyone's appetite, as soon as the royal Buddha jumped over the wall was served, everyone was in high spirits and the dinner table reached a climax.

"How is it? It suits the taste of these gentlemen!" Luo Tao said this with pride and pride.

From the moment they took their first bite, their expressions told Luo Tao that it was absolutely delicious.

"Mr. Luo, after the master has finished cooking, can we meet to express my personal gratitude to him." Mr. Bao Lao made a request to Luo Tao very sincerely.

"This is no problem at all." Luo Tao wanted it.It is expected that Lord Jin will not object. "Thank you very much!"

The dishes were served one after another, and everyone was very happy to eat.

But there is also one point of dissatisfaction, that is, no one has praised the wine they brewed.

"Comrade Luo Tao, this wine is your own Xichang Bar!"

If you say that your own children are only loved by your own parents, this is true. Leader Li is so awesome today and never forgets to advertise Xichang Building.

"My leader, you are really discerning. These two bottles of wine are the two wines brewed by our own winery in Xichanglou. The bottle of wine next to you is called Bell Tower, and the bottle here is Drum Tower."

Luo Tao passionately held a unique press conference for his own wine.

"how to say?"

As soon as Leader Li said these words, Luo Tao felt so excited!I really want to hold this old man and kiss him a few times, he is so good at cheering me up.

"The name of this wine is taken from the morning bell and evening drum in our capital city. The Bell Tower has a low alcohol content and tastes smooth and soft when drunk. The Drum Tower is a high-alcohol wine. It has a slightly spicy taste when you first drink it, and a hint of nectar when you taste it carefully."

"Our wine has eight qualities, namely, smooth, sweet, clean, fragrant, strong, thick, pure, and authentic."

"........."

People have one mouth, as long as they don't blow too loudly.But one thing Luo Tao said very well is that it is pure. 90.00% of the wine produced by Xichang Winery is pure grain wine, and of course some water must be added.

This is not to add water to the bottle after brewing. That would be too unethical.This water addition is done during the brewing process, and this is how the wine is made.

"We didn't expect Mr. Luo to have his own winery. We really didn't expect it! If I have the chance, I would like to visit it." Mr. Huo was very considerate and poured half a cup of Bell Tower wine himself and gestured a toast to Luo Tao.

"Mr. Huo, please, you can see it anytime if you want."

Luo Tao drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone else also toasted to Luo Tao, and Luo Tao also welcomed everyone who came.

"Mr. Luo, if you have time to go to Haojiang, please come to our He family as a guest."

Chief He actually extended an invitation to Luo Tao, which surprised everyone present.

Mr. Huo glanced at Chief He, with a smile on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking. Then he took a bite of food and chewed it slowly.

His performance was in the eyes of Luo Tao and Leader Li, who had always cared about him, and both of them had their own guesses.

"Definitely, thank you very much for the invitation, Mr. He."

The two young men at the table drank their glasses of wine very happily.

Others smiled and praised them for being young, promising and good drinkers.

I was thinking in my heart that Chief Executive Ho's invitation was by no means aimless, there must be a deep meaning in it.

No one will ask each other at the wine table. They can only inquire in private after going back.

The banquet was very enjoyable, and everyone was convinced that they had lost. Someone even invited Luo Tao to open a Xichang restaurant in Xiangjiang.

Luo Tao always smiled and remained modest, but in his heart he wanted to say that in the future, Xichang Tower will be opened not only in Hong Kong, but also in places with Chinese people all over the world.
