Happy private dishes

Chapter 71

The New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous family dinner of the year.In the old days, big families paid attention to "seeing the bottom in four and four".The so-called "four four bottoms out" means that the banquet consists of four cold dishes, four hot-fried dishes, four meat dishes, and four soup dishes, etc., to seek an auspicious balance and stability.Fish and meatballs are a must.There must also be side dishes such as "mustard pie" and "bean sauce".

For most ordinary people, the New Year's Eve dinner is mostly the whole family working together to show their abilities.The variety of dishes is much more than usual, and generally pay attention to "four dishes and eight bowls", that is, four dishes of cold dishes and eight bowls of hot dishes, most of which are home-cooked dishes.

When the old Lu's Restaurant finishes the New Year's Eve dinner menu, there will be:

Cold dishes: croquettes, fried 饹馇, pork head meat, sauced elbow, mustard pie, bean paste, pork skin jelly, spiced tofu, colorful peanuts, etc.

Stir-fry: braised carp in soy sauce, sea cucumber with green onion, fried shrimp, stewed squid, etc.

Meat dishes: sweet and sour pork ribs, sixi meatballs, braised pork knuckles, twice-cooked pork, stewed chicken, etc.

Soups: braised three delicacies, dried shredded milk soup, whole corn stew, eight-treasure shabu-shabu, etc.

Snacks: pea yellow, kidney bean rolls, donkey rolling, Aiwowo, Sachima, minced meat biscuits, butter fried cakes, candied fruit rolls, shredded ginger skewers, etc.

Featured staple food: dumplings with big stuffing, eight-treasure rice, etc.

In the end, as long as the guests who come to have the New Year's Eve dinner on the [-]th, they will give a sweet food - shredded apples, wishing the guests a safe and sweet life in the future.

When ordering the menu, Lu Yuchi went to Master Yan to ask.

"Uncle Yan, will the first-grade crispy pork with walnuts and pine nuts be served to our New Year's Eve dinner?"

Uncle Yan took a sip of tea and looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Come on, Xiao Yuanyuan is thinking hard, isn't it just a colorful dish? Why don't we serve it?" As soon as Uncle Yan said, Yipin Crispy Pork with Walnuts and Pine Nuts became the signature dish of the old Lu family's New Year's Eve dinner.

Reporter Hu from the Imperial Metropolis Daily has already become acquainted with the old Lu family.Occasionally, when he is happy, he will also come to gather together for a staff meal.The old Lu family will never treat these young men badly when it comes to food.There's always a chef who can cook them something special.Kou Yuanyuan often waited until she finished her meal before going back.

Reporter Hu doesn't just eat for free, he always brings some cigarettes, snacks and the like.

After the people from the old Lu family knew his identity, they also treated him a lot more politely.Slowly, we are all friends.

This time, when Reporter Hu heard that the old Lu family was going to have a New Year's Eve dinner competition with Yunlong Restaurant, he was very interested.He wants to follow up the whole process and do a column after a year.He even paid Uncle Wang's attention by posting some menu advertisements on the glass to attract the attention of the guests.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang agreed that this did not violate the rules of the competition.

Two days later, reporter Hu came again.I also had a private talk with Uncle Wang.As soon as Reporter Hu left, Uncle Wang came to look for Lu Yuchi.

"Reporter Xiao Hu revealed a lot of information to me. Although the Yunlong restaurant is called a restaurant, but the owner of Yunlong is actually very good at making dumplings. Especially on New Year's Eve, everyone pays attention to eating dumplings. The owner of Yunlong last year It was a brainstorm, and I prepared a dumpling gift box.

Therefore, last year several nearby restaurants sold New Year’s Eve dinners, and Yunlong Restaurant was the best.Because last year, Yunlong Restaurant competed too much for business.This year, several nearby restaurants simply stopped serving New Year’s Eve dinners.Not to mention the three times overtime pay for the employees, and not letting people go home during the Chinese New Year, it's time to get angry.

So, this year, in this area, Yunlong Restaurant and our old Lu family are competing for the New Year's Eve dinner business. "

Now, the Gourmet Association is also looking for someone.In particular, they found an impartial person through Brother Cheng.All they have to do is fight through the New Year's Eve.

"It stands to reason that his family's dumpling making has little to do with our family. However, they don't know why the business is not doing well. The boss of Yunlong was provoked. Reporter Hu quietly told me that he I suspect it’s still the hands and feet that moved there.”

Uncle Wang said to Lu Yuchi in a low voice.Ever since Lu Yuchi's father died, their relationship has been that of father and son.There is nothing that cannot be said.

"If it's really over there, let them continue to make trouble! They make moves, and I will follow suit." Lu Yuchi narrowed his eyes and looked at the glass window in the office.

"Yu Chi, are you still bitter about them? What exactly did they take from your house?" Uncle Wang couldn't help asking. "You should also find a chance to get it back from them, right?"

"They helped my father with the funeral, so they took a knife from my grandpa! I thought at the time, take it away. After all, I am not filial. Ever since my father passed away, I thought I would never I can’t afford a kitchen knife anymore! I just thought it would be better to put that knife over there and pass it on to Lu Sandao! But now, I see what’s going on over there. I’m really afraid that those people will tarnish my grandfather’s reputation .” Lu Yuchi said blankly, but he felt very bored when he thought of the family over there.

Back then, his father had been biting him, and grandpa was pissed to death by the Lu family over there.We must revive the Lu family to make it look good over there.Therefore, the old man was very strict with Lu Yuchi.He was not capable enough, so he almost pinned all his hopes on Lu Yuchi.

Lu Yuchi's father hoped that his son would be a master and open the old Lu's restaurant.Have a good fight with the Lu family over there.Get your name back.Don't let the other side continue to sell dog meat.

As a result, the old man pushed his son too hard, and Lu Yuchi was young and rebellious.

Later, as soon as Lu Yuchi entered, the old man lost all hope and disappeared immediately.

Who would have thought that ten years later, the old man's wish would finally be half fulfilled.Now, Lu Yuchi has opened the old Lu's restaurant.He plans to go directly to the master level assessment next year.He didn't plan to do anything to the Lu family over there.He didn't care about these false names as much as his father did.However, he couldn't sit still over there.He repeatedly wanted to attack him.

"These things in your family are really bad. The master over there, did your grandfather really accept him as an apprentice?" Uncle Wang couldn't help asking.He sincerely regards Lu Yuchi as his son.Therefore, I am also willing to help him make suggestions.

Of course Lu Yuchi felt that he had nothing to hide.Those great masters all know about their family.

"Back then, in fact, it wasn't considered an apprentice. The great master came to learn the art halfway. He knelt at the door of my house on a snowy day. My grandfather was soft-hearted, so he went home.

During this period, my grandfather also taught him how to cook.It's just that my grandfather saw that he was rather impetuous, so he was going to kill him, and then talk about recruiting disciples.This drying is 2 years.That one couldn't take it anymore.Later, he became my family's distant son-in-law. "

"Pfft..." Hearing this, Lord Wang couldn't help but spit out the tea.

"The apprentice trained for nothing for two years? Is that the son-in-law of your family? Is he the same generation as your grandfather? How do you arrange the seniority?"

"Didn't my grandpa get seriously ill from anger? My aunt was a widow, 9 years older than that one. Later, my grandpa simply cut off contact with her. My dad always thought that my grandpa When he passed away, he was made angry by that side. He only wanted to save face for my grandpa. I was not sensible at the time..." At this point, Lu Yuchi couldn't continue.

He really felt like he had nothing to say.When he was young, he just wanted his father to let go of those rotten things!It's over for their family to live a good life.

The entry of cooking skills is not forced out.It is better to be more open-minded.Why bother to be ambitious with others all day long?
Until now, he has ambition even if he doesn't want to.As fate would have it, sooner or later he will have a fight with the Lu family over there.Fight over who is the true descendant of Lu Sandao.He also wants to get back the kitchen knife passed down from his ancestors.At that time, it is bound to be enshrined in front of the father's rank.

"Hey, you craftsmen have a lot of things on their backs. You're about to catch up with those of us who come out to mess around. Those of us who come out to mess around also pay attention to happiness and enmity. It's good for you, grandpa's debt needs to be collected by grandson. And old What's going on with Yan? Don't tell me, you didn't see what the old man was thinking?" Wang Ye frowned as he spoke.

He really likes the little girl Kou Yuanyuan.It's like treating that girl as a granddaughter.Even Kou Yuanyuan was a little afraid of him, and acted like a grown-up in front of him, pretending to be cute.But no matter how you pretend, you are still a child.

He couldn't figure it out, why did Lu Yuchi promise Lao Yan to let Kou Yuanyuan go to that muddy water?
"Hey, it's too difficult for Uncle Yan. He devoted ten years of hard work to training an apprentice, and he treated the apprentice as his own son. When the matter came to an end, that man turned around and bit him hard. He robbed him Not to mention his livelihood, but also ruined his reputation. Is there such an ending? It took ten years to feed a white-eyed wolf! Can he have no resentment in his heart? You know, when I went to him, what was he doing? what?
He is selling newspapers.A master chef of Sichuan cuisine in the culinary circle of a famous town in the past is selling newspapers!Xiao Yuanyuan, don't you know?This child is so caring and has good eyesight.If Xiao Yuanyuan becomes Uncle Yan's apprentice, if it can warm his heart.Wouldn't it be great to make the old man happier in his next life?Taking another ten thousand steps back, we all know what Uncle Yan is thinking.If, when the time comes, he really doesn't want to give up that idea.It's not still me then.I don't want to watch my children suffer, do I?

Isn't this our hotel, and you, and Lao Bai, Lao Lu and the others!If Xiao Yuanyuan chooses that matter at that time, who will say that she won't lend her hand to help? "

"You're talking about this. I don't want to be serious with you. You're just talking about your apprentice. Don't you know how to love others? Such a good little apprentice will let you go, don't you feel bad? I think you are dying of heartache, right?" After finishing the business, Uncle Wang couldn't help teasing him.

"I feel sorry for you. But, as you said, such a good little apprentice. She has already recognized my family's teacher. She won't run away. No matter how much she learns. No matter what time it is, I, Lu Yuchi, will always be her." Master! It's impossible for that child to deny me! Don't you think so?"

Speaking of this, Lu Yuchi's young but vicissitudes-filled face was finally stained with a smile.

"I, Lu Yuchi, have three blessings in my life. One is that I met you and those little brothers when I was in the most difficult time. The other is that there is a woman I love who is willing to wait for me for ten years. The third is that I accepted this for our Lu family. Two little apprentices. When I was in the worst times, God would not give up, and I still got something. So when others encounter difficulties, I am willing to lend a hand to help. Walking through this ditch, the future will be extremely peaceful .”

"You, Xiao Lu, after so many years, your heart is still so bright! Your two little apprentices are also like you. We are lucky to meet you!"

When Uncle Wang said this, his always serious face also smiled.

When he laughed, he looked a little stiff and looked evil.People with a guilty conscience will be frightened when they see his smile.

However, Lu Yuchi would not be afraid of him.
