The lotus root in the Baohe River, which is a side dish, is also different, all broken without silk, which is said to be a symbol of Bao Gong’s “iron face and selflessness”.

Early in the morning out to deal with eating some buns and doughnuts and so on, Zhuang Rui has long been hungry, anyway, do not drink, directly under the chopsticks to eat up, clamped a crucian carp into the mouth, a fresh flavor immediately through Zhuang Rui’s taste buds to the brain, and that the small fire stewed for more than five hours of fish has long been burned to the bone crispy meat, the mouth that is, but also with a light fragrance of the lotus.

“Good!”

Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but praise, the chopsticks in the hand is not stop, followed by another clip to the mouth, and the side of Liu Chuan would have liked to listen to Zhuang Rui a few more compliments, I did not expect to blink of an eye, a plate of ‘Bao Gong fish’ on the remaining half of Liu Chuan hastily grabbed chopsticks and Zhuang Rui grabbed up.

The second up dish is ‘Li Hongzhang chowder’, dishes served on the table, looks moist and oily, smell the aroma, attracted the two people eating fingers, this time ‘Bao Gong fish’ has long been eaten by the two people, Liu Chuan just got a lesson, this time the dish is on the table, on the Eat up, Zhuang Rui would have liked to let this guy continue to explain, a look at Liu Chuan this action, know that the national army is very cunning, do not fall for it.

After grabbing the last slice of mushrooms and putting it in his mouth, Liu Chuan barred his mouth and looked at Zhuang Rui proudly, saying: “Buddy now tell you about this dish! Damn, do you think the teacher who teaches history when we go to school, if he treats us to a meal every day, can I fail history?”

Zhuang Rui: “……”

“Li Hongzhang chowder” this dish also has its allusion, according to legend, Li Hongzhang went to Russia to participate in the coronation of Nicholas II, and on the way to visit Europe and the United States, three times a day are eating Western food, very unaccustomed to Europe and the United States, Li Hongzhang will be instructed to accompany the chef will be purchased in the local vegetables, meat, etc., in accordance with the cooking methods of Chinese dishes method of “one-pot cooking”.

After this “one pot cooking” out, eat the fresh and delicious, both wine, but also on the meal, but also not because of the tedious frying and cooking and frying and delayed the official visit, Li Hongzhang simply eat this every day, and sometimes banquets foreigners, when asked about the name of the dish after eating, Li Hongzhang said casually, “chowder! “Since then, many people in Europe and the United States know that China has a famous dish called “chowder”.

Li Hongzhang returned to China, but also asked his family often do this dish to eat, more often this hospitality, since then, “chowder” popular throughout the country, “Li Hongzhang chowder” has become a famous dish of Hefei reserved varieties.

The last main dish to come up is naturally “Cao Cao Chicken”. “Cao Cao Chicken” is a dish that is made from local high-quality chickens and is accompanied by Gu Jing Tribute Wine from Anhui Province and 18 kinds of appetizing and fitness-enhancing auxiliary ingredients, such as asparagus, dulce de leche, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, peppercorns, Chinese cooking ingredients, cinnamon bark, aniseed, green onions and ginger, and so on. Kinds of appetizing fitness made of auxiliary materials, nutritious and therapeutic health effects, Zhuang Rui ate, immediately felt warm in the stomach, very comfortable.

“Rascal ah! I am now a little envious of you, not to mention, the food of the north and south of the Yangtze River, it is really famous ah!”

Zhuang Rui patted some eaten belly, looked at Liu Chuan said, this is his heart, only Hefei this place, can eat so delicious, not to mention the big China, Lu, Guangdong, Sichuan, Su, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hui eight dishes each have their own strengths, but also only like Liu Chuan such as running around all day long, can eat these original flavors around the characteristics of the dish, although in some big cities, there are also a variety of dishes in the restaurants, but eating it is ultimately changed flavor.

Just like the capital Quanjude roast duck, branches have opened all over the country, but people go to the capital, or love to go to the capital old store inside to eat, for no other reason, is to eat that original flavor.

“Okay wood, you do not laugh at me, you look at me every day to drive a car to wander around, quite comfortable and at ease, but where do you know the hard work of going out, like I last drove to the four major domestic police dog base in Kunming to buy puppies, the car broke down in the mountain road, the cell phone and there is no signal, that is really called the sky is not the call of the world is not working ah! The whole day and night without food and drink.”

Liu Chuan said about the past is also a bit saddened, that time he drove a shortcut in order to take a shortcut, but after the car broke down, want to stop a passing car are not, the wilderness of the mountains and mountains to listen to the night of the wolf howling, but he was scared lightly, this time to go to Tibet to call on Zhuang Rui, but also to pull a bold.

Zhuang Rui heard this is to understand Liu Chuan in that Hummer, why loaded so much food, dare this brother traumatized ah!

Cao Cao chicken portion is quite sufficient, after the two ate, on the back of the dim sum is no longer eat, simply called the waiter to pack to take to the road to eat, a checkout, this meal actually only spent more than a hundred dollars, Zhuang Rui have the heart to these dishes and then hit a few packages to take away.

“Waiter, there are still big boxes upstairs, right? Our Boss Zhao is treating us today, grab a private room and pack it out.”

After Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan settled the bill, they had just walked to the stairway on the second floor, when seven or eight people came up on their faces, looking like they should be familiar customers, the waiter was greeting them with a Yin smile.

“Boss Zhao, you’ve picked up a great deal this time! This turnover is not to earn a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, rich can not forget a few brothers ah!” The person who shouted at the waiter just now said to a middle-aged fat man who was surrounded by the crowd in the center.

“Picking up a fortune?”

This word word for word into and they rubbed past Zhuang Rui ears, immediately attracted his attention, since the appearance of aura in the eyes, he is on the antiques of this line of business is doubled the attention.

After walking out of the hotel, Zhuang Rui said to Liu Chuan: “Hooligans, just now those people said the words you heard? It seems that this good luck is not only me ah, there are many people in ah!”

“Of course, you don’t see what kind of place this is! That is Si Hui building, the whole Anhui antique merchants are concentrated here, every day there will be people eyeballing the same people get rich, here are very normal things.”

Liu Chuan pointed to a five-story pagoda not far away that was dozens of meters high and replied with disbelief.
