Chapter 233 Three-Head Banquet (Thanks to YKYB_KI leader for the reward)

"Jingjing, where have you been? You're locking the shared bicycle, right? Huihui still has one big question to finish. I was afraid of being late so I brought her here directly. It's the same thing if I go back to write after dinner. There's no rush.

Two questions."

"Come, Huihui says hello to your sister Qu."

"Hello, sister Qu Jing." Chen Huihui greeted Qu Jing obediently in the video, "Sister Qu, my mother said that your ultraviolet allergy is cured, and I can see that you have become darker during this period."

Qu Jing, who locked her bicycle, was stunned and could only smile: "Hui Hui still has a sharp eye. Sister Qu's ultraviolet allergy is indeed getting better."

Chen Huihong led Chen Huihui into the box, and was a little surprised to see that there were only Qin Huai and Huang Anyao in the box: "They haven't arrived yet? I thought I was going to be late."

Qin Huai glanced at his phone: "There are still 8 minutes left. Ouyang just sent me a message saying that after Uncle Wang went out, he realized that he forgot to take the fruit and went back to get it. Uncle Qian and the others were waiting for Uncle Wang at the gate of the community. They should immediately

It’s here.”

As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, noisy footsteps came from outside. What was louder than the footsteps was Chen Juan's scolding.

"Wang Gensheng, if you can't remember something, just put on your reading glasses and look at the memo you recorded on your phone. You were the one who said I was embarrassed to come to Dr. Qu's banquet empty-handed, and you were the one who said I would buy some fresh fruits and bring them here. I asked you to choose.

After ordering some fruit, you were tricked into buying the ridiculously expensive Qiuyue pear, and you were the one who forgot to take the fruit when you went out."

"Didn't you remember things very clearly when you were an accountant? You could still clearly report the accounts of the first year in the second year. How could you boast that you were the company's humanoid accounting bookkeeper and only left the house with a bag of fruit?

I even forget to take it when I’m out.”

"Why didn't you forget to come too? You forgot yourself at home. I came out to eat this feast."

"I was thinking about other things, and I accidentally forgot the fruit when I went out." Uncle Wang defended in a low voice.

"Think about other things. What do you have to think about now? Do you think you have to calculate performance bonuses and year-end bonuses at the end of the year before retirement? Don't make excuses. I'm warning you. Just eat today. Don't think about those years.

.”

"Sister Chen, you're right! Sister Chen, let me tell you, Wang Laogen likes to think about the past the most when he runs in the morning. Every time he can't run anymore, he thinks about the past." Xu Tuqiang took the opportunity to complain.

"Ahem, please keep your voice down when we are almost at the box. There are Dr. Qu's colleagues today. We neighbors can't embarrass Dr. Qu!" Uncle Qian reminded.

"Qian, you are from the neighborhood next door. What kind of neighbor are you? I am the real neighbor!"

"Xiao Ou, is the pineapple at your place?"

Grandma Ding opened the door.

Silence outside.

The uncles and aunties who were looking at each other a second ago as if they were about to quarrel, automatically switched to the warm fake smiles of the uncles and aunties the moment they opened the door and walked in.

Grandma Ding and Chen Juan took the lead carrying the fruits, each with a bag of cut fruits. The high-quality fruits were paired with simple red plastic bags, and there were many small forks in the plastic boxes containing the fruits.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. We brought some fruit here. Let's eat some fruit first. Dr. Qu... Hey, haven't Dr. Qu and her colleagues arrived yet?" Chen Juan enthusiastically distributed fruit to everyone.

cut.

Everyone sitting in the box heard the conversation outside clearly:...

As a time-honored restaurant, Huangji was expanded and renovated on the basis of the original state-owned hotel. It is well known to old diners that the soundproofing of the private rooms is not very good.

It would be a little better if the door was closed, so that the chat in the 888 box would not be heard clearly in the 666 box.

But if the door is not closed and the person chatting happens to have a loud voice...

The private chat becomes public.

When Chen Huihong came in just now, she just closed the door slightly. The elders and aunties happened to be a little deaf because of their age, so their voices were very loud.

Qin Huai stood up, his smile unchanged, and he took the fruit as if he hadn't heard anything just now: "Grandma Ding, Aunt Chen, you are so polite, you even brought fruit here specially."

"Doctor Qu and the others will be here soon, please take a seat first."

Wang Gensheng consciously sat down at the food serving entrance. After sitting down, he looked back at the box door. As if he remembered something, he couldn't help but sigh: "I remember when I just..."

"Shut up!"

Two minutes later, Qu Jing, Dr. Zhou, Director Liu, mother and daughter hurried to the box.

Everyone is here.

Although Qu Jing has recovered all her memories, and she tries hard to become sunny and cheerful, and wants to socialize and live like a normal person, no matter which life she was born in, Qu Jing is not a person who is good at making friends and communicating.

Sensing Qu Jing's nervousness and reserve, Qin Huai, who was entrusted by Huang Shengli to entertain today's guests, glanced at Huang Anyao beside him.

Well, Shaodong's family is even more nervous and reserved than Qu Jing's. Huang Anyao didn't say a word from the moment people entered the box, even if there were acquaintances of his among the people present.

Qu Jing, Ouyang, Chen Huihong and Huang Anyao all knew each other. Qin Huai reserved snacks for the three of them, and Huang Anyao was the one who took care of the delivery.

Knowing that the young master's family was unreliable, Qin Huai stood up and began to introduce everyone present one by one.

When Huang Anyao was introduced, Qin Huai suddenly felt stuck, and for a moment he could not imagine his relationship with everyone present.

"Huang Anyao, Huang...Huang Ji's young boss, Master Huang Shengli is his father. He came here today mainly because he is afraid that everyone has no experience in eating the Three-Headed Banquet, and he doesn't know when to start, so he made a special trip to introduce the Three-Headed Banquet to everyone."

Qinhuai Road.

"Ah?" Huang Anyao was shocked and looked at Qin Huai with a face full of "When did my father arrange this task for me? Why didn't I know it?"

Director Liu shook hands with Huang Anyao enthusiastically: "Mr. Huang, I have admired you for a long time. I really like your Huangji Restaurant. Every time our department had dinner together, we came to Huangji for dinner. I have always regretted that I didn't come to Huangji for dinner earlier and didn't eat.

Once the VIP card is issued, we in the Department of Neurology will definitely work harder in the future and strive to get the VIP card earlier than the Department of Orthopedics!"

Dr. Zhou also stood up and shook hands warmly: "Mr. Huang, you can contact me at any time if you need it in the future. Although I am not familiar with doctors in the rehabilitation department, I have contacts with doctors in orthopedics, emergency department, pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology.

Register with me!"

Huang Anyao stood up in confusion and shook hands one by one. His eyes were still on Qin Huai, and he winked wildly and asked himself how to introduce the dishes.

Qin Huai just give him a chance to be yourself.

Just then the waiter came in and asked if everyone was ready to serve. Huang Anyao was standing and immediately nodded to indicate that he could serve.

Today's menu was prepared by Huang Shengli in advance, and it is also the standard menu for the three-head banquet at Huangji Restaurant.

Eight plates of cold dishes: cold jellyfish skin, cold double crisp, bone-in palm fin, salted gizzard kernels, salt and pepper eel shreds, agate salted egg, mustard tripe and crystal fish sticks.

Season four dishes: garlic sauce, coriander, red bean curd and pickled radish slices.

Twelve hot dishes: stir-fried day jade, soft pocket long fish, dry-fried chicken, abalone breast and pigeon eggs, grilled whole pig head, braised lion head with crab meat, braised silver carp head, ginkgo cabbage heart, assorted coconuts, stir-fried

Seasonal vegetables, Yangzhou fried rice and chicken slices soup.

Four kinds of snacks: fermented steamed buns, sandwich buns, Soviet-style moon cakes and fruits.

Originally, the four dim sum dishes of Huang Ji's Three Head Banquet were Zheng Siyuan's four dim sums. After Qin Huai came, they became Qin Huai's two kinds and Zheng Siyuan's two kinds. After Guo'er appeared in "Zhiwei", they directly changed into the current Qin Huai's three kinds.

Same as Zheng Siyuan.

The waiters filed in to serve the dishes, and each exquisite dish that was full of color, flavor, and beautifully presented was brought to the table, which caught everyone's attention.

Of all the people here, except Huang Anyao, no one has ever had a serious three-head banquet.

Even Qin Huai ate in bulk.

Seeing everyone's unfamiliar expressions, Huang Anyao knew that it was time for him to perform.

Shaodongjia transformed into the best food commentator.

"In the traditional three-head banquet, salted gizzards and crystal fish sticks are two indispensable cold dishes."

"Many of the uncles and aunts here are outsiders and may not know that salt water gizzards are second only to fried peanuts as a delicious dish for drinking. When making it, we must use fresh and large duck gizzards, pickle them, and cook them.

Then marinade,

There are only a few types of spices and seasonings used in the whole production process, only salt, pepper, scallion knots, ginger slices and Shaoxing wine. Since it is pressed with heavy objects for 12 hours during pickling, the final product will have a very firm texture.

Chewy.”

Hearing what Huang Anyao said, everyone sitting there immediately felt that the seemingly ordinary duck gizzards looked very delicious, and they wished they could have a glass of wine to go with the food.

After Qu Jing picked up the first chopstick, everyone stretched out their chopsticks, and a plate of salted gizzard kernels was served in an instant.

"Crystal fish sticks are made from fresh small fish, with the small spines removed and sliced ​​into long strips. They are lightly coated with a layer of starch and cooked in boiling water, and then served cold with sauce."

"Because the fish strips are thin enough and cooked in boiling water, they look a little crystal clear at first glance, so they are called crystal fish strips. This dish looks simple and easy to make, but in fact the work of removing the spines is extremely complicated and cumbersome. It can only be used during the three-head feast.

Such a cold dish would only appear at such a big banquet."

"If you are interested, you can eat it with pickled radish slices. The taste and texture will be even better."

Hearing what Huang Anyao said, everyone followed suit and started playing crystal fish sticks and pickled radish slices on the spot.

Then everyone stopped eating other dishes and looked at Huang Anyao with wide eyes, waiting for him to introduce the next dish.

What to eat, how to eat, and where to eat.

Although Huang Anyao comes from a family with cooking skills, he has never done anything related to cooking since he was a child. He cannot be said to be good at eating. He is simply good at speaking. He has never experienced this kind of being the center of attention at the dinner table.

feeling.

Seeing that everyone trusted him so much, Huang Anyao was very moved for a moment. He cleared his throat and introduced more vigorously.

"Actually, one of these cold dishes is also our Huangji specialty. It is neither Huaiyang cuisine nor Subang cuisine, but it is my dad's specialty cold dish."

"Mustard belly."
