Chapter 445: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!

The name of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall should be known to everyone.

It is said that when Xuanquan, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, was on his way to Shaolin Temple, he passed through Mindu and stayed overnight in a hotel. He happened to see a nobleman next door entertaining his guests with "Mantanxiang". Xuanquan was so salivating that he immediately abandoned his years of Buddhist practice and jumped over the wall to enjoy the "Mantanxiang". This is how the dish got its name.

Of course, the above is just idle talk.

The more reliable source is that the dish Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was not originally called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but Fu Shou Quan. The name comes from the meaning of both happiness and longevity. The original version only had chicken, duck, mutton, pork tripe, pigeon eggs and other ingredients, which were placed in a Shaoxing wine jar and simmered slowly over low heat.

Later, a famous chef improved this version of Fu Shou Quan by reducing the amount of meat and increasing the amount of seafood. He finally made it his signature dish, becoming famous all over the world.

Several scholars once ate this dish and composed a poem on the spot: "When the dish is opened, the aroma of meat spreads to the neighbors; when the Buddha hears it, he abandons his meditation and jumps over the wall to come."

After hearing this, the famous chef had an idea and changed Fu Shou Quan into Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

…In short, no matter where it comes from, it cannot change its status as one of the most famous signature dishes in Chinese cuisine! It is even known as the best soup in the world! Even if many people have never eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, they have definitely heard of its name.

Many movies and TV shows have exaggerated it, and it is considered a representative of divine food! So when someone jokingly asked if the small black jar contained Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, many diners who were not so professional and knowledgeable exclaimed on the spot!

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? Is it really Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

"I've eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before and I remember it was very delicious. How come this has no taste at all?"

"It seems that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall you are eating is not authentic. The real Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has no smell at all before the lid is opened, and even during the entire cooking process. All the essence and aroma are locked in the jar."

"But this is just a theory. I've eaten a lot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall all over the country. Even if it's made by some masters, I can still smell some sporadic flavors. So could you be mistaken?"

“…”

As everyone was discussing the matter, their curiosity about what was in the small black jar reached its peak!

Finally, after much anticipation, the waiter standing by the table confirmed the time and bent down in unison to open the lid.

How can I describe the rich and delicious flavor that bursts out in an instant?

It’s probably the power of twenty bombs exploding at the same time!

That taste is no longer a taste.

It was the endless waves, the hammer that smashed towards us, the heavy mountain that pressed down on us...

Countless people were so dizzy from the fragrance that they couldn't tell left from right! "This... this..."

"Oh, I'm already intoxicated."

"Gulu, gurgle, gurgle."

"I'm so hungry...Did we really eat just now?"

"Oh my god, this is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

“…”

Murmurs of disbelief and the sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

They were immersed in the fantasy created by the aroma, not realizing that the aroma had already penetrated through the cracks in the windows and doors, spreading, spreading, and spreading...

Then, riding on the wind, it floated down, out, and onto the street!

This overbearing and rich fragrance, descending from the sky, recklessly captured everyone's five senses! Although the employees in Yongnian Building had been warned in advance, they were still unable to move because of the fragrance.

"Damn it, why can't I be one more diner?"

"Just by smelling the aroma, I can eat three more bowls of rice!"

"This is killing me. Why am I standing here?"

"I suddenly felt that the idea of ​​suspending business today was the right one! After smelling this, I'm afraid the other diners will find their food tasteless!"

“…”

There were also pedestrians on the street who stopped to watch, looking at Yongnian Tower in shock: "What is that smell? It smells so good!"

"I'm drooling, slurp."

"Isn't this Yongnian Tower... where Nanzhi is?"

"Oh my god, why are you torturing me like this! Being able to smell it but not being able to eat it is the most horrible thing in the world!"

“…”

Generally speaking, the fragrance that spreads ten miles away is an exaggerated adjective.

But here in Nanzhi, the aroma of twenty jars of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall gathered together and then burst out in an instant, so the fragrance spread ten miles away is no longer an exaggeration, but an accurate, specific and real description! And this is just a fragrance, just the beginning.

In Yongnian Building, the diners who actually faced this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall finally woke up from the aroma bomb.

It's not that the aroma doesn't appeal to them, but because a higher level of desire grips them! That's right, it's - eating!

Of course, it is more enjoyable to put Buddha Jumps Over the Wall into your mouth than to smell it!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

A group of diners could hardly wait to taste the flavor of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

At first they were going to do it themselves, but the waiter took over the job and served soup to each guest personally.

With the waiter's rich experience, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the not-so-big jar was divided equally among the guests at each table.

Some people thought this was unnecessary, until...

They had their first sip of soup!

The strong fragrance was like lightning hitting the top of my head!

How can it be so rich and delicious? It seems that the essence of the entire ocean is concentrated in a small bowl of soup. Even if it is just a drop of soup, it will have waves of delicious flavor that will continue to sweep over the taste buds.

My soul went blank, as if I saw the ultimate happiness in the world when my mind was clear. All my depression and worries disappeared. I had delicious food to enjoy. What else in the world could I not overcome? "It's so delicious!"

"Oh my god, you're crying?"

"What's wrong with crying? Can't I just let it out?"

"This is definitely the most delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall I've ever eaten! Suddenly I feel like all the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall I've eaten in the past were shit!"

"...Not really. By the way, who are those masters you mentioned who couldn't do it?"

"Uh... let's eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

"Why do you have abalone and I don't?"

"Baby, did I bring you here today? So can you share some of your soup with me? Baby? Baby? You are pretending not to hear me, you stupid man!"

“…”

At this time, they discovered that—

It turned out that this decision was so correct! If the waiter hadn't helped to divide the soup, I'm afraid the diners present would have fought over a mouthful of soup! "Miss, don't you think my soup is 10ml less than his? Don't underestimate this 10ml, it is related to my happiness today and even in the future!"

Another crazy one.

Well, no matter how well prepared you are, you can’t defeat the people who are crazy about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
