Liao Chen is nearly 70 years old. After returning to Huaicheng from other places over the years, he will get used to going to Fujinglou to eat once or twice every week.

For an old man who is nearly 70 years old, coming to Fujinglou is actually more of a plot.

However, after coming to Fujinglou so many times, the old man did not find the plot he wanted to search for.

This is not to say that the dishes in Fujinglou are not well prepared.

On the contrary, in Liao Chen's opinion, over the years, the meals in Fujinglou have been very well-made, at least much better than when he came half a year ago.

But the old man still couldn't taste the dishes he wanted to taste in Fujinglou.

Today, the old man came to Fujinglou alone again.

The waiter who received Liao Chen was already familiar with him: "Grandpa Liao, are you here again? Do you still want to sit in your old seat?"

Liao Chen responded with a smile: "Yes, it's still the old position."

The reception waiter guided the elderly to the position where he often sat.

Liao Chen is different from most people. Most people come to Fujinglou and like to sit near the lake, but Liao Chen is just the opposite. He likes to sit on the other side.

This is a corner close to the entrance of Fujing Building. You can clearly see gardening outside the window when you sit here.

When Liao Chen sat down, the waiter immediately said, "Grandpa Liao, are you still the same today?"

Before Liao Chen could answer, the waiter suddenly said, "Ah, by the way, Grandpa Liao, today our store is promoting a few new dishes. Do you want to try it?"

Liao Chen didn't take it seriously, but simply responded and asked, "Well, tell me what new dishes are there."

The waiter immediately said: "There are "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots", "Rouge Goose Chestnuts" and "Snow-Based Celery Sprouts". These are the three new dishes launched today. Grandpa Liao, do you want to try it?"

Liao Chen didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly heard the names of these three dishes.

The old man was stunned at first, and then remembered that Fujinglou was holding a cooking competition these days, so he hadn't been here for almost a month. He also heard that the competition had ended, but the one who was talked about was not the first and second place, but a chef named Feng who made a "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoot" on the spot.

Liao Chen is a fan of the Red Chamber and has also studied the dishes in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

It’s just that due to his limited cooking skills, he has not been able to restore the dishes in the novel.

At first I heard that someone made "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots" at the Fujinglou cooking competition. The old man was surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously. He didn't think of the key points today.

But now I heard from the waiter that in addition to the "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoot", there are also two dishes, "Rouge Goose Chestnut" and "Snow-under Celery Sprout", which really shocked Liao Chen.

"Rouge Goose Breath" and "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots" are the dishes written in the Dream of Red Mansions.

However, the dish "Celery Bath under the Snow" is not a dish in the book, but a dish specially created by a chef to commemorate the author of the Dream of Red Mansions. Liao Chen had traveled around the country before and had heard of this dish, but he had never seen it, let alone tasted it.

Today in Fujinglou, he didn't expect that this dish would be there.

When the waiter saw Liao Chen stunned, he asked strangely: "Grandpa Liao? Grandpa Liao, do you need it?"

Wake up by the waiter, Liao Chen immediately said, "Well, then I'll order chicken marrow bamboo shoots and snow-bottomed celery buds."

The waiter immediately agreed and then asked: "Grandpa Liao, do you still need the few you usually order today?"

Liao Chen responded with a smile: "Those dishes are not needed. I, an old man, can't eat so much. Two side dishes are enough. Let's give me a pot of Huadiao."

The waiter used an electronic ordering device to record the dishes ordered by the old man.

"Okay, Grandpa Liao, please wait, you have already placed an order for you."

Liao Chen nodded: "Okay, thank you."

After the waiter left, Liao Chen sat alone in his seat, turned his head and looked at the garden scenery close to the window, and was full of expectations for the two dishes.

After coming to Fujinglou so many times, the old man suddenly felt that maybe he could find the taste in his heart today.

Feng Yifan was in the kitchen, picking the turtledove bones, then removing the skin and tendons, and cutting all the remaining essence into fine shreds of meat.

In terms of quantity, such a turtle dove can only be fried on one plate.

As for the remaining bones and skin, Feng Yifan did not waste it and asked the people in the kitchen to make soup.

Just as Feng Yifan was ready and was about to start demonstrating this dish to the two chefs, he suddenly heard the electronic bell for ordering in the kitchen ringing.

Then someone who specialized in the delivery of dishes shouted: "The dishes were ordered in front, chicken marrow bamboo shoots, and celery buds under the snow."

Feng Yifan heard this and smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. This plate is just for the guests in front of him."

Then Feng Yifan put the shredded meat into clean water and washed it clean and drained the water.

Put it in a bowl, add a little salt, mix with your hands, and stir it evenly, and beat it slightly sticky. Add starch and mix well, and finally add some ginger juice, seal it with sesame oil and put it aside.

Then Feng Yifan took the egg, knocked it out and added a little salt, and then started to beat it with chopsticks.

Beat the egg whites all the time, and they are creamy. Spread them on a plate and stack them into snow.

Then put it in a steamer and steam it for a little.

The chefs in the kitchen, including Zhang Fenglin and Qi Deqiang, were shocked when Feng Yifan whipped the egg whites directly with his hands.

Many of the chefs present can do it, but the beating time may take a long time.

Most of the time, the chefs in the kitchen use electric egg whisks.

That way, it will save time and effort.

But like Feng Yifan, he used his hands to beat the egg whites, and it was not long, which really surprised the chefs.

Feng Ruoru, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei looked at his father as if he was doing magic.

Just stir it constantly in the bowl, and the egg white turns into cream.

"Oh, Dad, you're so awesome. Can you make cream?"

"Yes, Dad Feng, why did you turn that egg into cream?"

"Dad Feng, Feifei also wants to learn this. It's really amazing to turn egg whites into cream."

Feng Yifan smiled and said to the three little girls: "Dad Feng's method is a stupid method. If you are eager to cook, it is best not to use this method. Instead, use an electric egg whisk to beat it, which will be faster. You can also use that in the future."

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan looked at the chefs in the kitchen and smiled and said, "You don't need to imitate. If you have tools, you should use tools."

At this time, Lin Ruilong saw all this and couldn't help but come to his master and ask in a low voice.

"Master, isn't Feng Yifan's whipping egg white hard?"

The master looked at Lin Ruilong and said, "How can you call Chef Feng's name directly? The one hand just now, without a certain amount of strength, can't do it at all. Please give me the priority."

After being scolded by his master, Lin Ruilong appeared to be submissive, but he was not so convinced in his heart.

Feng Yifan then selected some tender sprouts of celery.

"You remember that you must use tender buds in this dish. Never use the old part. Only the tender buds of celery will have enough taste."

The buds are selected well and there are special personnel responsible for cleaning them.

Feng Yifan went back and started preparing for cooking.

Before the cooking officially began, Feng Yifan also made a bowl of sauce.

Mix salt, sugar, pepper, Shaoxing rice wine, ginger juice, water starch and sesame oil to make the bowl of sauce.

After everything is ready, add more oil to the pot.

When the oil temperature is about 40% to 50%, put the previous shredded turtle dove into the pot and stir-fry.

Smooth quickly until the color changes, drain the oil.

Then add some scallion oil in the pot, put shredded meat into the pot, and put the celery sprouts into the pot. After stir-frying, pour the sauce into it and stir-fry over high heat.

After the sauce on the bowl of sauce has been hung on the shredded meat and celery sprouts, the meringue has been brought over in the steamer before.

Feng Yifan also quickly put the fried pork shredded celery sprouts on a plate.

Finally, I adjusted the platter a little, handed out the dish and said, "Okay, serve."

Immediately, a person from the kitchen quickly brought the dishes to the delivery window, and the waiter waiting in front delivered the dishes to the table where he ordered the dishes.

After such a dish was finished, Feng Yifan said to the two chefs: "There is also a chicken marrow bamboo shoot, who will make it?"

Zhang Fenglin and Qi Deqiang looked at each other, and after a long time, Zhang Fenglin took the initiative to say, "I'll do it."

Qi Deqiang quickly said, "I'll help Chef Zhang."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, then you two will come."

Next, under the guidance of Feng Yifan, the two began to replicate the chicken-marrow bamboo shoots made by Feng Yifan during the competition.

Liao Chen didn't wait long before seeing that the dishes he ordered had been served, and a pot of flower sculptures were also sent.

When this plate of "Celery Sprouts Under the Snow" was presented to the old man.

Liao Chen was really a little surprised.

Before today, Liao Chen really only heard of his name and had never seen this dish.

But now, this dish with the name of the author of Dream of Red Mansions has truly been presented to me.

At this moment, Liao Chen looked at the plate with meringue that looked like white snow, the tender green celery buds in the middle, and the slightest oily shreds of pork. The combination of three silks is really beautiful.

For a moment, Liao Chen seemed to see Mr. Xueqin sitting in front of him.

Before the old man could get his chopsticks, the guests on the table next to him also saw such a beautiful dish.
