"Hey, make me a plate of nine-turn large intestine."
Ye Xiuwen ordered loudly after entering the courtyard where the kitchen was located.
The Japs wearing common people's clothes near the kitchen looked at Dragon Boat Festival in surprise and said to themselves: You are quite demanding for a foreigner, you actually want a nine-turn large intestine.
But what the hell is the Nine Turns Large Intestine?
The little devil had never eaten Jiuzuan Large Intestine, so he left quickly to report to their superior. It was said that the officers of the Fourth Division had to eat nine rounds of large intestine. He didn't know what it was, but he felt he should report it to his superior.
And this was also explained by the Japanese officer of the 14th Division.
For the sake of safety, the Japanese officer ordered the Japanese soldiers to report to him any abnormality discovered. So this Japanese soldier came.
The Japanese officer thought for a moment and decided to go take a look. But I saw a pig was being killed in the kitchen. Dragon Boat Festival, on the other hand, was sitting on a square chair surrounded by long stools, as if waiting for his nine-turn large intestine.
The Japanese officer thought for a moment, then walked over and asked Duanwu, "Do you want to eat the nine-turn large intestine?"
Duanwu nodded, but didn't say anything.
But the more this happened, the more curious the little Japanese officer became: "Hey, what is the Nine-turn Large Intestine?"
Duanwu knocked on the table to signal the Japanese officer to sit down, and then said:
"This nine-turn large intestine is one of China's delicacies. According to legend, it was created two hundred years ago.
This nine-turn large intestine comes from the once-famous Jiuhualin Restaurant.
At that time, "Jiuhualou", "Qingyu Pharmacy", "Tongyuanlou Restaurant" and "Yuanxingzhai Sauce Garden" were known as the four famous stores on Houzaimen Street.
Boss Du, the owner of Jiuhualin Restaurant, has hired a group of famous chefs and is very good at catering operations. He has especially studied the cooking methods of pig offal and has produced many delicious banquet dishes, among which braised large intestine is a model.
Initially, the braised large intestine was made using the sausage-in-intestine method. The entire large intestine was wrapped layer by layer, cooked with spices to make it tough, then cut off and then braised with a variety of seasonings. Later, the production method was improved, first blanching, then boiling, then frying, Cook it again, take it out with a spoon and put it into the pot and repeat it many times until it is cooked. The cooked large intestine is red in color and full of five flavors, which has won the praise of all diners.
Once, Mr. Du from Jiuhualin entertained guests, and the guests were all local gentlemen. After everyone ate the braised large intestine, they all praised it for being sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, and there was a lot of discussion.
One of them, in order to show his talent, catered to the owner's preference for "nine" and took the name of the chef's complicated and delicate cooking skills, so he immediately changed the name of braised large intestine to nine-turn large intestine.
He explained: "Nine" is an auspicious number. From the emperor's relatives to the common people, "nine" is liked by "nine"; and in Taoist alchemy, there is the "Nine Turns Golden Pill", which can bring people back to life. Today's dish is a delicacy. Delicious food, like taking "Nine Turns Golden Elixir", wouldn't it be wonderful to take the name of "Nine Turns Large Intestine".
After everyone heard it, they were all amazed.
Since then, Jiuhualin Restaurant's signature dish, Jiuzhen Large Intestine, has gained a good reputation and spread throughout Shandong. Hahaha! "
"Shao Kar!"
After hearing this, the Japanese officer's eyes shone. He has indeed never eaten such delicacies.
The Japanese officer immediately said: "Then let them do more."
Duanwu waved his hands and said: "That's impossible. This pig only has one large intestine. That's not the meat on its body. After it's cooked, it won't even weigh a pound."
"There are so few."
The Japanese officer became more and more looking forward to it, and then he discussed with Duan Wu: "You give him to me, and I will exchange my military tickets for you."
Duanwu waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, I must eat this nine-turn large intestine today."
However, at this moment, Zhang Qing ran over and asked: "Imperial Army, the large intestine has been taken out. Do you want to eat the original one or the clean one?"
Duanwu immediately said: "I want to eat the original flavor. Only in this way can the original flavor of the large intestine be maintained. You must not destroy the original flavor of the large intestine for me."
"Yes, Imperial Army!"
After Zhang Qing answered, he went back to deal with the large intestine.
At this time, the Japanese officer asked curiously: "What is the original flavor? What is the pure flavor?"
Duanwu explained: "The original taste is to retain the original taste of the large intestine. The clean version has no taste. All you can taste is the taste of caramel and salt, which is the inferior taste of the nine-turn large intestine.
Just like Westerners eating steak, if you order a well-done steak in a Western restaurant, you will be laughed at. "
The Japanese officer nodded repeatedly, he completely understood.
But at the same time, he wanted to taste the traditional Chinese delicacy - nine-turn large intestine.
He stood up and said to Duanwu with a smile: "I'm sorry, it was our 14th Division that was negligent. Please,..."
In fact, the Japanese officer still doesn't know Dragon Boat Festival's name. But this does not affect his performance.
He smiled and continued: "Invite this colleague to have a meal in the room. It is so dusty, how can it be suitable for dining!"
Duan Wu didn't buy it and said, "I won't leave here. If my Nine-turn Large Intestine doesn't appear, I won't leave."
But at this moment, the Japs officer waved his hand, and several Japs drove him, Lao Shen and others into a nearby house on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu struggled to protest, but his protest was obviously ineffective.
Once inside the house, Lao Shen said with a smile: "Brother Duanwu, you are so awesome, you can actually trick the Japanese into eating pig poop."
Duan Wu said humbly: "It's nothing. The little devil has never seen anything or eaten anything. He is very easy to deceive."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
Of course, tricking a Japanese officer into eating a nine-turn large intestine during the Dragon Boat Festival is not an idle joke. Instead, he had to divert the attention of the little Japanese officer.
Just imagine, he came to Gangcheng Village, even though he came in as a Jaap, and the little Jaap had no suspicion. But can the little Japanese officers, especially the three majors, not pay attention to him?
Once the little devil pays attention to him, he will also pay attention to Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing and others.
This is not conducive to the actions of Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing and others.
So during the Dragon Boat Festival, they used the Nine-Turn Large Intestine to divert the little devil's attention and treat the little devil to some rice fields.
At the same time, the little devil was indeed just as Duanwu thought, and he was only waiting for Zhang Qing and others' Nine Revolutions.
Zhang Qing's ancestral home is Shandong. Nine-turn large intestine is a famous dish in Shandong, and he is quite good at it.
Of course, it's just that it's not very clean when washed. It's OK if you just wash it a little and don't see the big chunks of rice fields.
Blanch the large intestine and cut into sections. Heat the pan with cold oil, add rock sugar, bring out the soup color, add the large intestine, add onion, ginger and garlic and simmer until the soup has soaked into the large intestine, place on a plate and garnish with chopped green onion. A plate of smelly nine-turn large intestine is ready!
