MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant-Chapter 31 Ham and Handsome Guys
After the Double Ninth Festival, Guo Dalang and Mrs. Li had almost finished their remaining goods, so they began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave.
Shen Shaoguang sent a large box of flower cakes, "If you miss a sharp food shop on the way, you can make up for it."
Li Niangzi looked at the box of all kinds of beautiful flower cakes and smiled: "I can't bear to make up for it on the road. Take it home and let them also Look and taste the things in Beijing. There is no such thing in the countryside." After all, after staying in Chang'an for so many years, I always thought about leaving when I didn't leave. Come.
"It's not too far away. Whenever you want to come back, just come back for a visit."
Li Niangzi only said that she was comforting, and held her hand reluctantly, "The key is, there can be no good neighbors like Xiao Niangzi anymore."
Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "But there are daughters and daughters-in-law serving by your side. It's great that the family lives together in peace and happiness."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, "Isn't it just like the picture?"
…
Send away the former tenant, Shen Shaoguang invited masons and carpenters to start decorating the new store. Before that, Shen Shaoguang also negotiated with the landlord of the old shop about opening the wall, and renewed the contract for another two years.
Nowadays, the income of the store is high and stable. Although the rent is paid and the decoration is made, the money is not difficult.
There is no need to think about saving materials and saving money, and there is an old shop as a foundation, and the two sides are connected, and it must be consistent, so there is no need to think about it New styles, new tricks, this decoration couldn't be easier.
& nbsp; , birds made of straw, musical instruments with horns, etc., go back and hang two more paintings, and the tune is enough.
One-of-a-kind log-colored food table, the place is big enough, the new store does not need to install a "wall-facing" bar, and the old store is kept as it is - maybe someone drinks alone, just Like this style?
The floor was covered with rugs and lichens—the old shop used to be a bamboo mat, but I found out that it was not very useful, and soon the bamboo strips were kicked. When he came out, it would be troublesome if he poked the feet of the guests, and the banquet was not easy to clean, so Shen Shaoguang spread a blanket over the main area. This time, they were all replaced.
The wool blanket may be woven with camel hair, cow hair, wool, etc. It is dark and light brown mixed with some white, very thick The texture of the twist is somewhat similar to the wool of the descendants, of course, much thicker.
Don't look at it as an exotic item, but it's not very expensive. It can't compare with the famous Xuancheng red carpet, even the local velvet lichen in Chang'an. , but it is not bad for a small wine shop, and the overall color and style are also very well matched.
The kitchen was also enlarged, of course, the masons built thin walls, the carpenters made wooden doors, and there was a window in the lobby for passing dishes, but the windows that opened outwards is not moving.
What makes Shen Shaoguang most happy is that there is a small well in the backyard of the newly rented shop, so you don't have to go out to fetch water to eat, and you can do all kinds of things in summer" "Iced" snacks.
As for backyard home renovations, it's even easier. The original Mrs. Li was a careful person, the floor was covered with floor tiles, and there were also beds and cabinets configured by the owner. Shen Shaoguang only brushed the walls, repaired the broken floor tiles, and provided suitable tents. Cover and move in.
Shen Shaoguang and A Yuan use the large bedroom and the main room, and the smaller retreat is the door to the yard, just for Yu San.
When the house was about to move, the host brought Jing Qingjingci and others out of the nunnery, and Shen Shaoguang respectfully bowed to the host again. When he first came out of the palace, there was no place to stay. Master Yuanjue did not consider himself poor, not only took him in, but also treated him more favorably, which Shen Shaoguang remembered in his heart.
Yuanjue Shitai smiled kindly at her.
Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "When the scripture of the cake is finished, please be sure to read it."
Master Yuanjue and Jingqing both laughed, but Jingci was a little unhappy. Originally, she was thinking about when she would push the host to drive the poor girl away, but now that she left by herself, Jingci felt unhappy in her heart. For example, a man dislikes his girlfriend and wants to break up, but his girlfriend mentions the breakup first, and the man feels humiliated.
Moved here, and it was another round of cleaning, tidying, and installation, and two trips to the West Market to buy things. It was disturbed for several days, and it was a little cold. It's completely stopped.
The shop was closed in front and closed, Shen Shaoguang washed up, read two pages of book in the room, pulled his shoes out, pointed at the courtyard in the courtyard The bacon, pork leg and several kinds of game were hung down, and Yu San said to Yu San, who just came back from washing, "Why isn't this meat red and hard?"
Yu San went into the house and took a bamboo stick out, poked it, "Little lady, don't come to see it often. You won't see any changes at all."
No...why is it up to me?
Shen Shaoguang suddenly remembered the legendary "quantum Zeno effect", "If we continue to observe an unstable particle, it will not decay." Because "in quantum mechanics, the so-called 'observations' will produce the physical quantities of classical mechanics. The high-frequency observations will slow down the transitions of the system."①
So, is it really because I'm old to watch, so this meat is not well marinated?
Seeing that Shen Shaoguang took it seriously, Yu San was first surprised, and then laughed. Usually he always looks like a half-dead ghost, and he doesn't often speak with sarcasm, but he didn't expect his smile to be very clean and gentle.
Shen Shaoguang knew that he had been tricked, so he was not angry, but smiled at San: "You should laugh more, how beautiful this is!"
Yu San guessed that he was a little embarrassed for the mistake in his expression management, so he ignored Shen Shaoguang and went straight back to the house.
What else can I do about the arrogant and petite public election that I chose? Love it! Shen Shaoguang pouted, imitating Yu San's drooping eyebrows and drooping eyes, and then looked at the cured meats hanging on the hooks, imagining that these meats turned into honey sauce, golden and silver hoofs, winter bamboo shoots and ham...
This technique of pickling and air-drying has existed since ancient times. After all, Confucius charged ten pieces of dried bacon as tuition. Many people in the Tang Dynasty liked to eat salted fish and meat. It is said that the late emperor liked to eat deer breast, but he didn’t like it much today, and there were fewer dishes in the palace, so Shen Shaoguang couldn’t steal any teachers.
Fortunately, the owner of Sanjiu is from the south, and he is also fortunate that he is a master of food, so although Yu San is not very good at marinating pork legs, he is very good at marinating game.
Shen Shaoguang's practical level is not good, but his theoretical knowledge is very good. She once did a special issue, specifically talking about this cured ham, and she also personally went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to interview the master of the cured ham.
Cured ham is a delicate job, so choose the right leg. Between seven or eight pounds.
Be careful with the knife when taking the pork leg, the leg shape should be correct, the real "cutting is not healthy and will not eat", so there is a "shaping" in the back. process.
& nbsp;
After several times of salting, it takes about a month, and then it is cleaned and dried, followed by fermentation, stacking and other processes. Not only are there many procedures, but also step by step, the first year's autumn and winter are marinated, and the next summer is considered a good marinade.
I once read the Eight Banners Nobles, and the essays, Mr. Tang Lusun said that he should put a leg for freshness when he cured ham. Shen Shaoguang asked the interviewer—this is a bit metaphysical , and very marketable things appear in the manuscript, which is much more interesting than simply introducing the process.
I don't know if this procedure has been lost. The serious young master of pickling legs, who was wearing a sterile operating suit and looked like a surgeon, shook his head firmly at Shen Shaoguang. Shen Shaoguang regretted not adding some "dogleg" material to his manuscript.
In fact, Shen Shaoguang didn't have such a favorable impression of ham from the very beginning. She is from the north, and there is no such pickled meat at home.
When I was young, my relatives and friends in the south gave my father an authentic or not very authentic Jinhua ham. That leg was stewed so greasy, salty, haha, with a strange smell, Shen Shaoguang only took one bite and never used chopsticks again. I learned later that maybe my mother didn't handle the meat noodles or dripping oil properly.
Eat all kinds of ham dishes seriously after work. All kinds of big and small dishes with ham as the main or supplement, only almost lost Shen Shaoguang's tongue.
Compared with fresh meat, ham has a mellow taste that has been fermented over the years, just like the comparison between the uncle and the handsome guys. The broken smile, even the folds, has twists and turns polished by time. In comparison, the young guys are too hasty and straightforward, lacking so much "soul".
In the past life, there were quite a few "uncles" that Shen Shaoguang was optimistic about in the entertainment industry at home and abroad. Shen Shaoguang looked at the sky like a crescent moon and thought wistfully, they are not I know that there is a fan of my own wife in different time and space.
After crossing over, Shen Shaoguang also met a few good-looking men. , although it is a little bit like a horse, it is not outrageous; there are also several kings, who are also very good-looking.
The Li family was originally from the Longxi clan, the kind of people who had priority in choosing a mate, and later won the world, and the harem was full of beauties, and the beauty genes were deposited from generation to generation , it is difficult to think ugly.
Speaking of the appearance of the nobility, Shen Shaoguang couldn't help but think of the paralyzed Lin Shaoyin in the same square, which is also the product of the accumulation of fine genes from generation to generation. Those eyebrows and eyes are indeed a bit picturesque, with good temperament, beautiful but not maiden, majestic but not fierce, not only the elegance of a literate person, but also the majesty of a powerful official, tsk tsk... It's a pity that he is a facial paralysis!
In fact, Lin Shaoyin's friend is also good-looking. When you dream of Yangzhou, you will win the honor of being a brothel."
Facing strips of cured meat, Shen Shaoguang ordered the handsome guys he knew and sighed. When the meat was marinated, it should be steamed with rice wine and sugar first A bowl to eat.
The author has something to say:
①The explanation of quantum Zeno effect comes from Baidu Encyclopedia. The content of the ham in the back refers to the prose of Tang Lusun, Liang Shiqiu and other famous masters and Baidu Encyclopedia.
