The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 111 Work hard and live slowly

Lin Zhongwei was very familiar with the surrounding area, so Jiang Hui simply asked him to recommend a place to eat.

There are many delicious restaurants in the capital area, so you should find opportunities to experience them.

"Tong Yi Xuan Restaurant, this restaurant name seems a bit unfamiliar."

In the evening, after using up two rolls of film, the three of them went to have dinner.

"I haven't been to this restaurant either, but it looks like a lot of people come here to eat."

Zhu Lin also looked around curiously, wanting to see what was so special about the restaurant recommended by Lin Zhongwei.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of the name Tongyixuan Restaurant."

"But you must have heard of the name of Baodu Feng, right?"

Lin Zhongwei took the lead and took Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin to find a table at the side and sit down.

"We have certainly heard of Exploding Tripe Feng."

"It is said that the earliest Baodu Feng shop was opened at Houmen Bridge, and was taken over by the second-generation successor Feng Jinhe in the late Qing Dynasty."

"Feng Jinhe devoted himself to the business and made meticulous production, selecting the best ingredients and using all the seasonings, making the fried tripe taste even richer, which was deeply loved by the gardeners, eunuchs and bannermen in the palace."

"Later, with the recommendation of the eunuchs working in the palace, Baodu Feng became the special supplier of tripe for the imperial kitchen of the Qing Palace."

Zhu Lin is an old capital resident after all, so he knows something about those old-fashioned foods.

"Xiao Zhu, you are right."

"Later, Baodu Feng moved to Langfang Ertiao outside Qianmen. At that time, Langfang Toutiao was a street of finance, calligraphy and painting, while Langfang Ertiao was a street of antiques."

"Baodu Feng's business here was doing well. When it came to the third generation Feng Guangju, he had already saved some money, so he moved the shop to Menkuang Hutong."

"Menkuang Hutong was home to many of the capital's snacks, making it a famous food street in the old capital."

"The tripe at Baodu Feng is known for its crispness, tenderness, freshness and fragrance, which is refreshing and nourishing to the stomach, and has attracted celebrities from all walks of life to come and support it."

"Lu Xun, Ba Lao and other celebrities are regular customers of Baodu Feng."

After hearing what Lin Zhongwei said, Jiang Hui had some understanding of Baodu Feng.

In his previous life, he had heard of the name of Baodu Feng, but he had never eaten it.

"Could it be that this restaurant is the renamed Baodu Feng's restaurant?"

Jiang Hui began to understand why Lin Zhongwei chose to eat here.

Food like fried tripe is generally not particularly expensive.

Today is the first day we all know each other. If we take them to a high-end place for dinner, it will obviously feel like a rip-off.

Jiang Hui asked Lin Zhongwei to recommend a place, it seems that he put in some effort.

If you want to find delicious food that is not too expensive, it may be difficult to find a restaurant that meets your requirements if you don't have any experience.

“It’s not really a name change.”

"From 1937 to 1957, Menkuang Hutong was at its most prosperous. Baodu Feng had gained considerable fame at that time."

"It was not until 1957, after the public-private partnership, that Baodu Feng was merged into Tongyixuan Restaurant, and Baodu Feng's descendants entered the company-owned store and continued to be responsible for the Baodu and shabu-shabu business as representatives of the private side."

“So we can continue to eat Baodu Feng’s dishes here today.”

Lin Zhongwei explained to Jiang Hui patiently.

"What special dishes does Baodu Feng have? Let's order them all today to try."

Since you're treating us, be generous.

Besides, Jiang Hui also wanted to taste the dishes of this old brand.

"Then I'll go over to the counter and order with you?"

Lin Zhongwei also showed some interest. Although their family was well off and their previous salary was quite high.

However, going out to eat is still not a common thing for people of this generation.

Stir-fried beef tripe, stir-fried lamb tripe, stir-fried beef tripe, stir-fried mushroom heads, stir-fried lamb mushrooms, stir-fried lamb tripe collars, fried hemp tofu, stir-fried lamb with green onions, and three bowls of mutton offal soup.

Jiang Hui ordered a lot of their signature dishes.

"That's enough for the three of us, how about these for now?"

Seeing Jiang Hui's generous way of ordering food, Lin Zhongwei had a different understanding of Jiang Hui.

He felt that Jiang Hui and his wife must be the children of a wealthy and well-connected family.

There seems to be no harm in making better friends with him.

Of course, these are all thoughts in Lin Zhongwei’s own mind.

After the two returned to the table, they continued to chat about the food in the old capital, and from time to time mentioned which places were suitable for photography. The atmosphere was quite good.

The various fried tripe we ordered were served very quickly.

"The production of Bao Du Feng is very particular. First of all, the ingredients are carefully selected and the knife skills are in place. Seven parts of the tripe are used as the types of Bao Du, including the tripe core, the tripe collar, the mushroom head, and the tripe. When cutting, the width should be wide or thin, and the width and thinness should be appropriate."

Looking at the dishes served, Lin Zhongwei couldn't help but comment on them.

"These dishes may look simple, but they require very precise cooking time. For example, the cooking time for fried dan is 5 seconds, the cooking time for fried tripe is 7 seconds, and the cooking time for fried tripe gourd, tripe collar and tripe mushroom is 8 seconds."

"These dishes have their own particularities. Some are crispy, some are tender, and some are chewy and fragrant. Different varieties emphasize different flavors."

"And the seasoning they produce is very good. One bowl of seasoning is made from several kinds of seasonings. When eating, dip it in the seasoning, slowly put it in your mouth, and savor it carefully. It has a unique flavor."

Without waiting for Lin Zhongwei to continue speaking, Jiang Hui couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks, "Old Lin, stop talking, my mouth is watering, let's taste it first."

I have to say that the time-honored brands of this era are still very powerful.

The cooks are probably the descendants of Baodu Feng. They have real skills, otherwise they wouldn’t have such a great reputation.

It looks like ordinary material, but when you put it in your mouth, the taste is perfect.

"I just walked so much and I'm hungry."

Seeing that Jiang Hui had already started eating, Zhu Lin didn't hesitate to eat.

As for Lin Zhongwei, he naturally wouldn't be polite at this time.

Nowadays, few people are polite about meat dishes when eating out.

The three of them quickly finished two or three dishes, and only began to slow down after their stomachs were full.

"You have to hurry up with this work and take your time with life."

"It's a pity that I haven't tasted such delicious food before."

Jiang Hui was not joking.

He is definitely very interested in eating.

It didn’t matter that I didn’t have money before, but now that I have enough money, I must eat better.

"Work hard and live slowly."

“That’s very well said.”

"Xiao Jiang, next time you want to go out and take pictures, call me."

"I'll make sure to take beautiful photos of you two."

In Lin Zhongwei's opinion, Jiang Hui and his wife are the best models.

By then, my own works may be able to leave a significant mark in this great era.
