The small town of Bei'an gave Yu Han a very good first impression.
When he first arrived here, his first stop was to the very famous Sifeng Mountain in the local area for some sightseeing.
During the day, I ate a piece of bread in the scenic spot. In the evening, I was hungry and took a taxi to a time-honored barbecue restaurant I had heard about for a long time. I had a delicious barbecue meal.
The next day, we went shopping in the city center and had the Sheep and Scorpion Hot Pot from Si Hai Feast for lunch.
In the afternoon, we went to the riverside, took a ferry, and rode a camel on a small island in the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
In the evening, we took a taxi to the famous seafood restaurant, Chollima.
Yu Han has traveled around a lot in recent years and is very concerned about the local customs and customs.
This time I passed through the provincial capital, so when I was searching for relevant travel information on the Internet, I accidentally saw some related introductions to the small town of Bei'an.
Among them, the ones that impressed him most were the Red House BBQ, the Four Seas Feast Sheep and Scorpion Hotpot, and the Chollima Seafood Restaurant.
It is said that Qianlima Seafood Restaurant is a century-old restaurant.
What makes people linger the most is that the dishes cooked in this restaurant are very authentic.
Because of its great reputation and constant customer flow, it did not lead to cheating, skimping on ingredients, and slacking off on service.
On the contrary, this hotel has always been operating with the consumption concept of genuine materials and no-nonsense consumption.
So both word of mouth and reputation are very good.
The relevant reviews on the Internet are also very good, so Yu Han specially came to the store to dine and check in this time.
When he actually walked into the door of the Maxima Hotel, Yu Han looked at the antique buildings around him and the neatly dressed waiters. Before he could eat, he felt a hint of appreciation in his heart.
This store looks like an old store, and the style looks very nostalgic, but if you take a closer look, you can see that all the facilities are clean and brand new.
"The Sword Comes"
Especially the ordering area is obviously new, with all kinds of fresh seafood displayed in glass tanks.
The ordering clerk came forward with a smile and helped with the order.
The service is indeed very attentive and considerate.
The only thing is that there are too many people dining in the restaurant, and you have to queue up to order.
Just as Yu Han was queuing up, two old men came from behind. They looked to be in their seventies or eighties, with gray hair, but they were still tall and tall, dressed comfortably and cleanly, and walked very steadily.
These two people seemed to have extraordinary bearings at first glance. Yu Han looked back and sighed secretly.
Look at her, she is so old and her figure is still so well maintained.
Take another look at yourself.
Yu Han lowered his head and glanced at his beer belly. Thinking of his hairy face, it was really...
Alas... let's not mention it.
The ordering area in front was overcrowded. Yu Han stretched his head to look at the wide variety of seafood, wondering what he should eat.
There are quite a few introductions to the dishes of this restaurant on the Internet, and there are many reviews, which are very comprehensive.
But precisely because this is a century-old store, there are many special dishes.
It is impossible to try all the specialties in one meal.
So you can only choose based on your own taste.
Yu Han was looking eagerly at the fresh seafood.
The two old men behind him started chatting when they were bored.
The taller old man had a loud voice and pronounced clearly: "Come to think of it, I really haven't come here to dine here for two years."
Another old man said with a smile: "I am not the same. After I was hospitalized last year, not to mention my family, I thought I would not be able to get out. Unexpectedly, after Dr. Xiao's treatment, not only was he discharged smoothly, but his body bones were also obvious Tougher.”
The tall old man said angrily: "Nonsense! Isn't it just a minor illness? They are all common diseases of the elderly. I have never heard of anyone having this disease and having any serious problems!"
The short old man smiled: "Seventy-three or eighty-four, the King of Hell didn't invite me to go! Didn't I happen to be 84 last year? I've caught up with the hurdles, and I feel a little unsure. But it's good luck. I took Dr. Xiao’s number and spent more than half a year under his care, but I was able to cure a lot of my old problems.”
The tall old man asked with great interest: "Are you talking about the old Chinese doctor Xiao Jiping from the Third Provincial Hospital?"
The short old man nodded: "Yes, that's him!"
The tall old man clapped his hands: "Hey, if you want to see him for medical treatment, just tell me! He is the younger brother of my second grandfather's family. Although he doesn't move around very much, there are still people in my mother's generation who live in their family. I contacted him. I had an upset stomach before, so he was the one who contacted me and helped me prescribe the prescription."
The short old man didn't expect such a turn of events, and said in surprise: "Really? Hey, you, I don't know! My son has gone through a lot of connections just to register for him. There are many wards in the Third Provincial Hospital." It’s difficult to arrange. When I was treating patients, without this relationship, there wouldn’t even be a place to be hospitalized.”
The two sighed, and the short old man said casually: "When I was in the hospital, I just listened to Dr. Xiao talking about Chollima's dishes, and that's when I became addicted to it. I thought about it after I was discharged, and I must come here to eat it. A meal.”
When the tall old man heard this, he also became interested: "Really? Are you saying that Xiao Jiping has also eaten Chollima's food?"
The short old man said: "Have eaten, or what do I say, I will place an order for the chef in their store soon. Doctor Xiao said it himself, the chef's skills are simply amazing!"
"Think about it, with Doctor Xiao's status, what good food can't he eat? For him to praise him so much, it shows that Chef Fu is really good at cooking!"
The two old men were chatting animatedly in the back.
Xiao Jiping had nothing to do and kept his ears open to listen to the excitement.
When I heard that there was a chef named Fu in Qianlima who was very good at cooking, I became interested.
Didn't wait long, and soon the orderer who had brought the order came over to receive Yu Han.
As soon as he followed him to the ordering area, the two old men were also brought over by the ordering staff.
Yu Han followed the orderer and looked at the various seafood in front of him.
The orderer handed over a menu very enthusiastically: "Sir, you can order according to the menu. Our store has a full range of seafood, with rich tastes and cooking methods. Is there anything you want to eat, or something special? preferences, I can also make some corresponding recommendations for you.”
Yu Han nodded and said straight to the point: "I came from out of town and just wanted to try your store's specialties. I checked them online before and got a general understanding of them."
It turns out that he came here because of his reputation.
The ordering clerk knew what was going on, so when introducing the recipes, he highlighted a few of the most popular dishes in the store recently.
Yu Han looked through several special dishes in the store and looked at the pictures. They were almost consistent with the reviews on the Internet.
He picked out the dishes he was interested in and placed his order while asking.
"This spicy crayfish is said to be your store's secret dish?"
The orderer hurriedly introduced: "Yes, this dish is very popular in our store. It tastes fresh and spicy, and you can't eat it outside."
Yu Han nodded with interest: "Okay, let's do this first."
He flipped through the menu again: "Isn't your store mainly focused on seafood dishes? How come this improved version of the Great Harvest Stew has become a special dish?"
The ordering clerk is very articulate, and he recommends dishes to customers repeatedly every day.
When it comes to the dishes in the store, apart from the chef, they are the ones who know the best.
After hearing the inquiry, the ordering clerk talked eloquently: "This harvest stew is an innovative and improved dish made by our chef. It is completely different from the original dish in terms of cooking method and taste. Now we are The store’s best-selling dishes are very popular with customers.”
Yu Han took a look at the plate arrangement in the picture. It was indeed very creative, so he reached out and clicked: "Add another dish of this."
"Well, by the way, I heard that the barbecue in your store is also very good? Let's have another grilled eel."
"Three dishes are enough for me to eat alone. As for the staple food, how about seafood porridge? I heard it is also a specialty of your store?"
The ordering clerk responded repeatedly, and when he was about to place an order, the two old men next to him, one tall and one short, were brought over by the ordering clerk to select seafood.
“They are all seafood here. You can choose according to your preference. Each type of seafood has a variety of cooking methods and flavors..."
The ordering staff also introduced the dishes enthusiastically and helped customers place orders.
The short old man first looked at the various fresh seafood, then pointed at the eels and interrupted the orderer: "Can you make eels stewed in wine?"
The ordering clerk was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes! Braised river eel in wine is a long-standing dish of our restaurant, and the taste is very authentic."
The short old man said again: "Okay, let's have some river eel stewed in wine, and then some fresh solitary fish eggs... By the way, there's also field fish, and here's some field fish with distiller's grains!"
Yu Han was stunned when he heard this.
The name of this dish doesn’t seem to be the special dish recommended online.
But it sounds pretty good.
Thinking in his mind, Yu Han gestured to the orderer in charge of him, and he listened carefully to the two old men's orders.
The ordering clerk first placed the orders one by one, and then said with a smile: "The old man is an expert! The dishes he ordered are all our store's classic specialties."
The short old man said: "Well, as I get older, I want to eat some nostalgic dishes. These were popular when we were children and they taste very delicious!"
"This fish has to be stewed in wine to be delicious!"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Dr. Xiao also introduced me to a nourishing seafood dish."
He turned to the ordering clerk and asked: "Can you make a fortune in braised eel gum?"
The ordering clerk was stunned.
Make a fortune by braised eel gum?
Why haven’t you heard of this dish?
The orderer didn't answer immediately, but quickly looked at the orderer.
Yu Han turned his head with interest and asked the order clerk who was serving him in a low voice: "Why, your store doesn't have this dish?"
The ordering clerk was slightly startled. She was new here this year and didn't really know much about these dishes that were not often ordered by customers.
"I, let me check, this dish shouldn't be the best-selling dish in the store in the near future."
Yu Han raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the two old men next to him.
At this time, when the tall old man standing next to him heard this, he suddenly laughed and said: "You are still an old boy who knows how to order! All the dishes you order are their old dishes."
The short old man said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered this. In fact, I haven't ordered these dishes in the past few years. I always came here with my family and ate all the popular dishes."
The tall old man also expressed some emotion: "Actually, if we want to say that it is authentic and tastes good, at what point will we still have to eat old-fashioned dishes? Such as those improved and innovative dishes, in fact, they just replace the gourd without changing the dressing, and the old-fashioned dishes are The classic flavors are ruined!”
The short old man nodded repeatedly: "That's right! I just remembered it today, let's take a good look at it."
The tall old man said hurriedly: "Then let's just have millet river crab as the staple food."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the orderer: "Can you still cook the millet and river crab dish?"
The orderer was busy looking for the dishes on the ordering machine. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Ah? Oh, I, I'll check it right away."
The tall old man took a look and said, "Don't worry. If the chefs in your store haven't changed in recent years, they should be able to make this dish."
The ordering clerk happened to find the dish of Braised Eel Gum for Fortune. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked: "I've found it. You just said you wanted to order a dish of millet crab, right?"
She quickly rummaged through it again.
This time it was much smoother. The Xiaomi Jiang Crab dish came out as soon as I typed the word Xiaomi.
The ordering clerk was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "I found it! Do you need to order other dishes?"
It stands to reason that if two people order four dishes and one main dish, it will be enough.
Sure enough, the two old men nodded and said that ordering these few things was enough.
The orderer placed the order, and the two old men were still laughing and talking.
The short old man looked at his old friend and said with a smile: "Actually, among us old guys, you are the best at eating! If you don't order this millet crab dish, I can't even remember it."
The tall old man waved his hand: "Well, it was better when I was young. At that time, I could eat whatever I wanted. There were so many delicacies from all over the country. I could taste them wherever I went. It's no longer possible now. I'm older. Yes, my family is very strict and I won’t let you eat this or that.”
The short old man suddenly felt sad, and then sighed: "Who says it's not the case? It just so happens that it's just the two of us, let's have a good meal today."
Yu Han turned his head and asked the orderer next to him in a low voice: "The dish they ordered is not in the menu, right?"
Speaking of their own recipes, the orderer quickly explained: "It's true that we don't have any, but the menus in our store have just been updated this year. Some hot-selling innovative dishes have been added, and some old-fashioned dishes have been removed."
No wonder then.
But I was able to order dishes that were not even on the menu.
These two old men are not simple!
As for what the identity is, I don’t care for the moment.
However, I am still very familiar with Chollima’s specialties.
He must be a regular customer of the store.
Yu Han came to the store this time just to try the special secret dishes.
Almost all of the dishes he ordered were improved and innovative dishes.
But what the two old men said just now is that this dish has the classic taste. The so-called improvement is nothing more than finding a new way on the basis of the classic taste.
In the end, everything will never change without departing from its roots.
