Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 324
"This is longevity peach? Why are there so many of them?" Bai Qiushui's father, who saw this scene first, was stunned.

"Yes, there are many small longevity peaches inside the big longevity peach, which means that the family will spread branches and leaves, and have more children and more blessings. And there are 66 longevity peaches in total, which represent peace, prosperity and good health."

Chen Nian explained from the side.

Although he thought it might be better to put the same number of Xiaoshou peaches as old man Bai's age in it, but the space is limited and it can't be put in.

That's why 66 Xiaoshou peaches were placed.

"This is good!" Not only did Bai Qiushui's eyes light up, but to be honest, when he ordered before, he didn't think that there was such a magic in the longevity peach. He always thought that the longevity peach was a cake made in the shape of a longevity peach. .

Or as I saw in some online celebrity shops before, the outside is a hard shell, and after being cracked, the inside is made of almond tofu.

But when Bai Jingsheng looked at this longevity peach, his heart suddenly shook, and he didn't know what he thought of.

"Little master, did you come up with this longevity peach yourself or..." he asked curiously.

After hearing this, Chen Nian thought about the wording, and then said: "It can't be said that I learned this from the master. To be precise, it should be a skill I exchanged with my friends for other dishes I am good at."

The friend Chen Nian was talking about was naturally Jin Dachuan.

However, this generation will definitely not find each other.

If Jin Dachuan was alive, he would be more than 100 years old.

"Oh." Bai Jingsheng nodded, "Not bad, actually, I've seen this longevity peach before, but it was many years ago. At first, I also thought that this birthday peach came from a cake, thinking of me. If you order it here, you won’t have to let them go out to buy it again, otherwise you will buy a big cake with several layers at that time, you can’t finish it, and it’s a waste.”

Bai Jingsheng recalled and said.

Because he doesn't really like to eat cream and chocolate, which young people like to eat, so he can only eat a few bites at a time.

Now that the longevity peaches are being served, it is natural for Chen Nian to go back and prepare longevity noodles. Chen Nian did not give them money for the longevity noodles.

Just after Chen Nian turned and left, Bai Qiushui's father took back a small birthday peach for Bai Jingsheng. It had just been taken out of the belly of the big birthday peach, and it was still slightly hot, so Bai Qiushui's father just put the birthday peach in the On the plate, let the old man eat with chopsticks.

Bai Jingsheng picked up the chopsticks and poked the birthday peach lightly. It was smooth and soft. With a light poke, the surface of the birthday peach was sunken back into a small pit, but as the chopsticks were moved away, the small pit slowly recovered.

This is enough to show that the aged noodles are very chewy.

Making noodles is actually not difficult at all for old age. There was a solid foundation laid earlier by making scallion noodles in Shanghai, and although I was only making noodles at that time, due to the years It is a thorough understanding of the basic principles of kneading.

In addition, he made birthday peaches for Mr. Joe several times in Chinatown in San Francisco, and he became more and more proficient in making birthday peaches.

It's just that it's more troublesome to pack this.

Fortunately, my mother is ingenious and can quickly wrap it into the shape that Chen Nian wants.

Then Mr. Qiao picked up the birthday peach and moved closer.

Cautiously, he took a light bite on the tip of the peach's butt.

The pink dyed on it has no taste, and it is also the kind of edible pigment, which has no effect on people after eating, because the pigment is basically extracted from food.

After biting it open, there was a burst of steam coming out of it, and Bai Jingsheng found that it was red bean paste, and the small bite just now had a little bit on it, because it tasted faintly sweet of red bean paste.

Then, he blew on the inside from the small hole, and after blowing away part of the heat inside, he continued to take a big bite, this time directly biting off a third of the bean paste filling inside.

The bean paste stuffing inside has been aged for a long time and made into a quicksand shape, and there is no lumpy feeling in the taste.

Delicate and soft, slightly hot but not unacceptable, it belongs to the temperature that the tongue can fully accept.

The incomparably sweet taste is accompanied by the smell of red bean that is unique to the bean paste, which makes people fall into the muddy red bean paste and cannot extricate themselves.

The soft coat neutralizes part of the sweetness of the bean paste, making this deep bite bring unexpected satisfaction to the mouth and brain.

Even after eating, the smell of red beans still lingers in the mouth.

"It's delicious! Try it together! This tastes exactly the same as the one I ate back then!"

After eating the entire birthday banquet today, what he was most satisfied with was a birthday peach.

Although the lion head, Wensi tofu, pot-packed meat, and mapo tofu in front of him all gave him a particularly amazing feeling, but this birthday peach was a memory for him.

Because he remembered that since he was a child, his grandfather would go to the same restaurant for every birthday banquet, and his grandfather seemed to be very familiar with the chef there. Every time after all the dishes were served, the fat chef would end up Here comes such a birthday peach.

When he was a child, there were only three things that impressed him the most about this longevity peach!

"The little peaches inside are delicious!"

"The big peach outside is so big!"

"A peach is shaped like a butt!"

But since his grandfather passed away, he has gradually grown up, and later came to Sichuan to settle down in business.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingsheng immediately decided that he would have such a birthday peach every year in the future!
Bai Jingsheng had just greeted everyone, and everyone else picked up longevity peaches to eat, but the old man is in a good mood right now, so even if they thought, "Doesn't this taste like ordinary bean paste buns?", they wouldn't say it again ...

After all, everyone is enjoying themselves now.

And Bai Qiushui even sang the birthday song, and the others followed suit.

The atmosphere here has affected the outside. The guests of Honghong Restaurant who dine outside heard the birthday song inside, and couldn't help singing it in a low voice, but at the same time, there were two or three socially obsessive patients eating with them. .

The three of them sang very loudly, and the others were also driven by the voices of the three of them. In the end, they sang louder and louder, so that they even shouted at the end of the song!

Then there was thunderous applause and cheers!

The atmosphere reached a climax for a while, and there were endless happy birthday mixed in it!

It is impossible for the people in the private room not to hear the commotion outside. Bai Jingsheng couldn't close his mouth in joy at this moment: "Look, so many people outside are celebrating my birthday. If we go to a big hotel, how can we These treatments?"
