Life is a Game

After Taishi Snake Soup comes Baiwei Tang, which has no fixed ingredients, no fixed recipe, or even no fixed method. How to do it and what ingredients to use are completely up to the chef's mood and whether the chef thinks he is suitable for this.

In a sense, Baiwei soup belongs to Schrödinger's soup. Even the chef himself may not know what the taste of this pot of soup will be before uncovering it.

Sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, everything is possible.

This last dish is also the ending dish. In order to give the Midsummer Banquet an unforgettable ending that is suitable for it but also unsatisfactory, Jiang Weiming's Baiwei Soup is made with the leftover ingredients of the previous dishes.

Half a pot of broth, a few cabbage hearts, extra minced chicken, scattered snake meat, fresh seasonal vegetables left over from making Dinghu Shangsu, and of course a little marinade that the old man used to make Texas Braised Chicken.

This pot of Baiwei soup is light but not light, and the taste is heavy but not heavy. Because of the brine, the color of the soup is a little brownish, and it is thinly thickened. From a distance, it looks very much like Jiang Weiwei's special dish, strange flavor soup. , but as long as you stir it gently with a spoon, you will know that the soup in front of you and the strange soup are two completely different soups.

It's just that the ingredients in this soup don't look like they would appear in a dish.

Before serving the soup, Jiang Feng tasted it a little worriedly. The taste was not bad, and there was no strange smell as imagined. He could taste the sweetness of the snake meat. It was a bit salty in general, and the base of the soup was very fresh.

But how to say, it is a pot of ordinary hodgepodge.

Jiang Feng felt that it was not even as delicious as the pot of Baiwei soup that Jiang Weiming made casually when he was at Jiang Yong's house.

"Third Grandpa, I think this pot of Baiwei soup tastes a bit ordinary." Jiang Feng said tactfully.

Not only did he think it was ordinary, he even thought that instead of passing on this pot of soup, it would be better for Jiang Weiwei to make a pot of strange soup and serve it up, at least it has the characteristics of Taifeng Tower.

"This pot of soup is the most suitable." Jiang Weiming said with a smile.

Jiang Feng:?

The Baiwei soup has been taken out, and there is still a bottom in the pot, and the residue is gathered at the bottom. Sun Maocai, who had never tasted Baiweitang, went out curiously to pick up some leftovers to taste. While eating, he heard the conversation between Jiang Feng and Jiang Weiming, and quickly swallowed the leftovers to help Jiang Weiming explain.

"This last soup doesn't need to be amazing in taste, it just needs to be suitable." Sun Maocai said.

"Since we chose Taishi Snake Soup as the finale dish when arranging the order of the menu, it is doomed that the main dish should not be too amazing so as not to overwhelm the demeanor of the finale dish. It is like the old time

Like the troupe singing Peking Opera, we all know that the finale is the penultimate one, and it is usually performed by Tai Zhuzi. Because the last Zhuozi play is usually a martial arts play, a bit like a curtain call, it’s a see-off show. Many guests get up and prepare to leave when they see the last play is about to start. The same is true for our banquet dishes. "

"If it is a very luxurious banquet dish, we will choose to put all the best dishes at the front. There are too many dishes and many guests will be tired and unable to eat at the end. This problem does not exist if there are few banquet dishes in midsummer. But since we The finale is fixed, starting and ending, and the last Baiwei soup is the last word. It doesn’t need to be delicious, as long as it can keep the end and not collapse, each person will drink a bowl, so that the diners feel that the banquet is over. Live, finish eating, satisfied, that’s all.”

Jiang Feng nodded with a half understanding.

Sun Maocai was right, Jiang Weiming's Baiwei Soup really put the end of the summer feast at bay.

The beauty of this Baiwei soup is that all the ingredients are taken from the previous dishes, the overall taste and the whole table feast are very large.

After eating a bowl of soup, a little hiccup that is not easy to be noticed by others, the happiness of enjoying the food and the feeling of fullness transmitted from the stomach to the brain will make people relaxed and happy.

The ordinary lucky ones who had never enjoyed a gluttonous feast of this level felt very happy, and Xu Cheng, who was able to eat top-quality food as a home-cooked meal, also felt very happy.

If you want to comment on which dish is the second most delicious in the summer banquet, there may be disputes. Some people think it is Dinghu Shangsu, some people think it is steamed green eel, and some people think it is Taishi Snake Soup, and there are even some unique tastes. I think Texas Braised Chicken is also good.

But if you want to comment on which dish is the most delicious in the midsummer banquet, it is definitely chickpea curd, and it deserves it.

After the dishes were finished, the final fruit plate was also served. Many diners were still reminiscing about the previous dishes and did not want to leave.

The diner sitting on Peng Changping's right had heard a lot of conversations between Peng Changping and Xu Cheng, and finally guessed who Peng Changping was probably.

It can't be blamed that he guessed the whole meal time before guessing, Peng Changping is really too difficult to recognize.

Many people know that Peng Changping has returned to China, and many people know that Peng Changping has been stationed in Yonghe Residence all year round after returning to China. There are also many people who have misunderstood the gossip and think that Peng Changping has accepted Jiang Feng as a closed disciple after returning to China, and some even often go to Yonghe Residence. The diners might have bumped into Peng Changping head-on.

But they would never recognize who this old man was.

Although Peng Changping has been stationed in Yongheju for a long time, he seldom does it himself, and usually gives verbal pointers. When passing by, he said a few words when he saw it. Even when teaching Jiang Feng, he only demonstrated it twice.

Jiang Feng had complained before that because of Lu Sheng's personal hobbies, the quality of tea in Yongheju ranked first among all the restaurants in Beiping. Yongheju sold better tea than ordinary teahouses in the middle of the afternoon. Many uncles like to come to Yongheju for tea in the afternoon, or come in the morning, and stay for a meal after drinking tea, occupying the table, so that if diners come early, they will feel that they have entered a teahouse ——It’s all uncles drinking tea water from thermos cups.

Peng Changping's hobby is to wear his favorite loose and casual clothes, and run around Yonghe Juli with a thermos cup filled with tea water. During this time, he has become familiar with him and often chats with the old men in the afternoon, causing many old men to think that He is the new uncle.

Ordinary diners want to recognize Peng Changping among so many grandpas in Yongheju, they might really sneak into Yongheju to observe closely every day like a pervert. After observing for 10 days and a half months, maybe we can use the method of elimination to rule out who is Peng Changping, and he has to spend money, and every meal has to be eaten in Yonghe Juli. The expenses are really not small.

The diner sitting on Peng Changping's right was inevitably a little excited when he found out that Peng Changping might be Peng Changping, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Peng Changping?"

Peng Changping nodded with a smile and said nothing, which was a tacit agreement.

The man was very excited, and hurriedly sent a WeChat message to his friend to tell him that he was actually sitting next to Peng Changping during the meal, and that Peng Changping had also come to eat the summer feast at Taifeng Building.

Amidst the lively discussion among everyone, the summer banquet ended.

Fang Mei and Ji Yue asked every diner invited to the Midsummer Banquet how they felt about today's banquet and whether they had any relevant opinions on the dishes. Everyone was very cooperative with the questioning, basically there was no comment on the 5-star praise, the only comment was that the portion of chickpeas was too small.

It would be even better if it can be served in a bowl of snake soup.

At 9:13 on August 6, the summer banquet ended successfully.

Apart from a little panic and worry after the chickpeas were out of the pot, Jiang Feng didn't have much other feelings. Although he was sitting at the dish transfer window in a very twisted and weird posture, trying to observe the expressions of the diners, but because he didn't have a telescope, he couldn't see anything clearly.

The feedback from the diners was not known until they asked Ji Yue and Fang Mei after they left.

Jiang Feng was a little surprised by the diners' high evaluation of chickpeas. Just looking at the content of the reviews, everyone had a lot of space for chickpeas, but what Jiang Feng didn't know was that the diners' comments could not fully show their truest opinion of chickpeas feelings.

Although many people think that chickpeas are really delicious, super delicious, probably the most delicious dish I have ever eaten in my life, but they think their writing is not good and the words are not beautiful enough. At this critical moment, there is no way to call and ask the company's staff responsible for writing the product copy to work overtime temporarily to write a promotional draft of chickpeas. Therefore, there is no way to describe the deliciousness of this dish in words, so I simply choose not to write or just write that it is very delicious. I am very satisfied with this kind of review that does not make mistakes and has no characteristics.

As usual, Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi went home from get off work to take a shower and sleep, preparing for the same boring life the next day.

Then when Jiang Feng woke up, he found that his QQ and WeChat had exploded.

Congratulations.

Jiang Feng:?

Congratulations on what? He is not married yet.

Jiang Feng casually clicked on a WeChat message from an elementary school classmate that he had long forgotten and hadn't contacted for nearly 10 years, and found that the words sent by the other party confused him even more.

‘Congratulations, I only realized that you are so good now after reading Weibo this morning. I really congratulate you. Let’s get together next time if you have time. Our elementary school classmates haven’t had a gathering for many years. '

The WeChat messages sent by junior high school students are probably——

'Congratulations, I read Weibo this morning. I really didn't expect there to be such a strong classmate among my classmates. Our junior high school classmates haven't had a gathering for many years. Next time we have a chance, let's have a class reunion. . '

Jiang Feng, a high school classmate, hasn't watched it yet, but he has already realized that something is faintly wrong.

He didn't play Weibo. When he cleared the software before, he took up memory and simply uninstalled Weibo. In Jiang Feng's memory, Ji Yue was probably the one who played Weibo more often. So Jiang Feng called Ji Yue directly before he got up.

"Hey, Ji Gezi, you know today Wei..." Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, Ji Yue's extremely excited and high-pitched voice covered it up.

"Jiang Feng, you are so popular. Your name has been trending on Weibo, and our Taifeng Building is also on it. Our sales are going to explode this month. Aunt Wang woke up early in the morning to change your vegetable prices. I This month's bonus must be too much, I'm going to get rich, hahahahahahaha!"

Jiang Feng:? ? ?
