The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 267 Delicious Xiaolongbao

Xu Qianqian's face was flushed, and he said quietly: "Knowing that people can't be cruel to you, they begged for nothing, so bad!"

Xie Shen spread his hands and said, "If you don't like it, I won't say anything."

The two looked at each other, with a hint of admiration flashing in their eyes.
"I've made all the preparations, and I'll take care of the old man at lunch time."

Xie Shen really couldn't bear this weird atmosphere, coughed and said lightly.

"I also invited a few elders, all of whom are from Zhejiang Province and who are good friends with Mr. Xu. Originally, I wanted to go to a restaurant for a banquet, but the dishes cooked at home are more delicious."

"Well, it's not you who cooks yourself. Daddy will be upset if a gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

Xie Shen smiled and said, "I asked Fuzhong cook to do it, don't worry."

Xu Qianqian hummed lightly and said nothing more.

The time alone is always short, and soon it will be noon.

After a short rest, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Han walked out of the bedroom, and went to the flower hall under the service of the servants.

As the planner of the reception banquet, Xie Shen is instructing the servants of the Xu family to arrange the necessary decorations.

Seeing Mr. Xu and his wife Han coming together, Xie Shen hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Wan Sheng met Mr. Master, old madam."

Xu Guan said with a smile: "It's time for Xianxu to change his mind."

Xie Shen smiled awkwardly and said, "I've seen Lao Taishan, Lao Taishui."

The Han family is about 50 years old, so he is very happy to see Xie Shen's appearance and understanding of etiquette.

As the saying goes, the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law as much as she likes it, and the Han family is the same.

This was the first time she saw Xie Shen, but she felt really relieved.

Having found such a good Xu, she has no regrets in this life.

"Lao Tai Mountain and Lao Tai Water are on the top. My son-in-law has prepared a banquet to welcome Lao Tai Mountain and Lao Tai Water. Several elders from Zhejiang may also come to the mansion to sit around."

While they were talking, the butler welcomed several big shots in the court, and the ones who knew Xie Shen the most were naturally Xie Qian and Wang Hua.

"Brother Yuan, long time no see."

Xie Qian took the first step and cupped his hands at Xu Guan, his voice full of warmth.

He originally thought that Xu Guan would not be able to survive the wind disease and would probably retire from office, but he never thought that Xu Guan would recover.

Wang Hua came first before anyone arrived: "Brother Yuanyi, I want to have a few drinks with you today, and I won't return if I don't get drunk!"

The other person, Xie Shen, looked at him face-to-face, but he must be an official from Zhejiang Province.

In this seat, Xie Shen's official position and seniority are the youngest, so of course he should sit at the bottom.

But Ms. Xu and Han were not able to attend the table because they were female relatives.

There is still a set of rules in the upper class of Ming Dynasty, which cannot be surpassed in the slightest.

But because it is a family banquet, etiquette doesn't have to be so fussy, so Mrs. Han and Ms. Xu can set up another table in the flower hall to have the banquet together.

After the elders sat down, Xie Shen winked at the housekeeper.

One after another, family members of the Xu family came to the banquet with dishes.

It started off cold, nothing worth introducing.

But the hot dishes that followed were carefully prepared by Xie Shen, who specially taught the chef in Fuzhong to cook them.

"Wan Sheng prepared a few dishes, and invited a few elders to try something new."

"This dish is cherry meat."

Xie Shen introduced with a smile: "Cook fresh pork slices and cook them together with cherries. The taste is fragrant and sweet and very delicious."

Xu Guan became interested after hearing Xie Shen's introduction, and waved his hand: "I will try it."

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and took a piece into his mouth.

The rich sweet aroma soon overflows the mouth.

"Smooth but not greasy, sweet in fragrance, this cherry meat tastes really good."

Xu Guan swallowed the piece of meat in satisfaction, and sighed in admiration.

Xie Shen thought in his heart that the Su-style dishes are similar to Zhejiang dishes, and it really suits Xu Guan's taste.

Xie Qian and Wang Hua also tried it after hearing the words, and they all praised it.

"My nephew has a heart."

"Brother Yuan Yi has such a virtuous son-in-law, I really envy this old man."

Xie Shen continued to introduce: "Masters, please try this steamed bun again."

The most unique taste of Xiaolongbao lies in the delicious brine.

Xie Shen said lightly: "Sirs, you can soak the steamed buns in the vinegar dish first, then bite open and suck the marinade to taste its deliciousness. Then pour the vinegar juice into the gap of the soup dumpling, pick up the steamed stuffed bun and send it as a whole. In the entrance."

The predecessor of Xiaolongbao can be traced back to the soup dumplings in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But it was in the Qing Dynasty that Xiaolongbao really developed to the level of later generations.

Xie Shen brought this delicacy to the middle of the Ming Dynasty ahead of time, no wonder the big bosses were amazed.

This time Wang Hua was the first person to try it. He first picked up the buns and dipped them in the vinegar dish, and then bit open a gap to suck the soup.

"It's delicious."

The taste of the marinade was so delicious that Wang Hua couldn't help admiring: "Do you want to add more vinegar to the buns?"

He couldn't bear to break the original taste of the steamed stuffed bun, which was too special.

Xie Shen explained with a smile: "This steamed bun has a thin skin, but if you don't add vinegar sauce, it will lose some flavor. You should give it a try, my lord."

Wang Hua nodded.

Xie Shen has already said so much, it would be too hypocritical for him not to try again.

Wang Hua twisted the notched side of the bun into the vinegar dish and turned it slightly, and the vinegar juice poured into the bun.

"Master Wang, this steamed stuffed bun has to be delivered to the mouth at once."

When Wang Hua heard the words, he didn't care about the elegant posture, and swallowed the soup dumpling in one gulp.

The combination of vinegar sauce, minced meat and marinade stimulated Wang Hua's taste buds.

Needless to say, Wang Hua just wants to savor the wonder of this taste.

Xie Shen was very proud.

Adding crab powder in this Xiaolongbao will make it more delicious, it is definitely a trick to conquer the taste buds.

Xie Qian and Xu Guan dubiously followed Wang Hua's example and picked up the steamed stuffed bun to eat. After eating half of it, they all praised: the taste of this small steamed bun is much better than that of soup dumpling.

The reason why Xie Shen chose Xiaolongbao as his staple food is because it is very close to the taste of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

The big guys here are all from Zhejiang. It is definitely a good thing to be able to eat hometown-style steamed stuffed buns in the capital.

And the xiao long bao is a total innovation that has never been done before.

The indescribable pleasure rekindled the desire for delicious food among several bigwigs who worried about the country and the people.

Seeing that the response was so good, Xie Shen decided to open a restaurant in Beijing.

Xiaolongbao is the signature, and some private dishes can also be added.

Anyway, only Xie Shen knows how to make these dishes, and they can also be served directly by the cooks of the Xu Mansion, so they shouldn't be imitated by their peers in a short time.

However, opening a restaurant requires running water and dealing with all kinds of local ruffians. It is difficult to raise funds in a short period of time, and a long-term plan is needed.

Xie Shen was thinking to himself, but Xie Qian coughed and said, "Nephew, are there any more of these steamed buns?"
