Chapter 736: Mr. Fang is showing off. Mr. Fang has been visiting for several days in a row, but he is only here to satisfy his own appetite and to regulate his body.
The desire to show off his grandson's abilities in his heart became increasingly subdued as he drank several bowls of hot soup.
That day, after he finished drinking the bowl of "Eucommia and Wolfberry Stewed Fish Bones" that made him feel relaxed and comfortable, he wiped his mouth and made up his mind.
He strolled out of Xinweiju, and instead of going home directly, he turned and went to the nearby Veteran Cadre Activity Center.
Two days later, just as Xinweiju opened for lunch, Mr. Fang came, this time alone.
Following behind him were two old men, one named Li and the other named Wang.
They were all his old comrades who had fought in the same trench, and they were all well-known figures before retirement.
"Old Li, Old Wang, let me tell you, my grandson has a medicinal soup here, and this one!" As soon as Mr. Fang entered the room, he raised his thumb proudly, his voice loud and clear, attracting the attention of many young diners.
"Today I must open your eyes and let you taste what true food nourishment is!"
Seeing their old comrade showing off so rarely, both Mr. Li and Mr. Wang couldn't help laughing.
Mr. Li joked, "Old Fang, look how capable you are! We've been listening to you nagging for days, and our ears are almost callused. If you can do as well as you say today, you'll have to treat us to a meal."
"No problem, leave it to me." Old Master Fang patted his chest, full of confidence, just like a host.
He led his two old friends to a private room with familiarity, without even glancing at the menu. He directly instructed Master Chen, who had rushed over to greet Lu Qingyang after hearing the news: "Qingyang, Master Chen, serve a portion of each of the dishes I ordered a few days ago to my two old friends, so that they can also benefit from it and replenish their old bones."
Looking at his grandfather's rosy face and proud look, Lu Qingyang felt both amused and warm in his heart. He quickly agreed and went to the kitchen with Master Chen to take care of the arrangements.
Soon, the three signature medicinal dishes were served one after another.
The sweet and mellow stew of salmon with astragalus and red dates made Mr. Li nod repeatedly and smack his lips. "Hmm, this soup is fresh and delicious. It warms my stomach and makes me feel comfortable!"
When the Tianma Chuanxiong stewed river snowfish head was served, Mr. Wang took a deep breath of the calming aroma, tasted it, and nodded slightly:
"This soup is quite interesting. It makes my mind feel clearer."
When the clay pot of eucommia ulmoides and wolfberry stewed fish bones was served, the rich aroma and milky white soup made the two veterans praise it highly.
Li Laogeng said directly: "Lao Fang, this time you are not bragging. This soup is very refreshing. My old waist seems to be a little looser."
The three old men drank and chatted, talking about the taste of the soup and the glorious years in the past. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.
Looking at the satisfied and amazed expressions on the faces of his old friends, Mr. Fang was happier than drinking the soup himself, and the smile on his face never stopped.
When it was time to pay, Mr. Li and Mr. Wang were vying for the bill, but Mr. Fang stopped them: "We agreed on my treat, so it's mine. Next time, next time you can pay."
He waved his hand proudly, calculating in his mind: I've treated them this time, but will they have the nerve to come on their own next time?
How dare you order medicinal food here? This will make my grandson a long-term customer.
Sure enough, a few days later, Mr. Li and Mr. Wang came to Xinweiju with their families or other old friends.
This medicinal soup, which "all the old leaders drink it and say it's good", has become famous.
Xinweiju's business, especially the orders for its medicinal food series, has increased visibly.
Seeing that the number of fish in the space pool was stabilizing at a healthy rate and no longer worried about "overflowing", Lu Qingyang knew it was time to let them recuperate, and at the same time it was time to introduce new features to keep diners fresh.
He shared his idea with Master Chen, and they both hit it off.
"Uncle Chen, our fish is delicious, relying on the principle of medicinal cuisine based on the origin of ingredients. Next, I want to use some more 'mountain delicacies'. We also raise some deer and roe deer in the mountains. Is there still ginseng? It's time to put them to use."
Upon hearing this, Master Chen's interest piqued. "Deer meat is warming and nourishing, and roe deer meat is delicate and tender. They're both excellent. Paired with our mushrooms and ginseng, the flavor and benefits are definitely better than fish."
Selected space-farmed sika deer ribs are firm and tender, with almost no fishy smell.
It is cooked in a clay pot with multi-year ginseng, Ningxia wolfberry, and golden red dates, and simmered for several hours.
The soup is clear and light tea-colored, and the venison is tender and boneless, melting in the mouth.
The slightly bitter aftertaste of ginseng, the natural sweetness of wolfberry and red dates, and the unique richness and flavor of venison are perfectly blended.
This soup greatly replenishes vital energy, improves essence and blood, strengthens yang and kidneys, strengthens tendons and bones. It is especially suitable for those who are afraid of cold, have sore waist and knees, and are in high spirits.
The waiter will kindly remind you: "This soup is very warming and nourishing, so it is suitable for those with internal heat or cold fever."
Take the tenderest tenderloin or hind leg meat of the roe deer, cut it into pieces and soak it in spring water to remove the blood.
Put it in a clay pot together with the Qi-replenishing Radix Astragali and the rare Matsutake mushroom, a specialty of space, add a little Shaoxing wine, seal it and simmer slowly.
After the soup is made, the broth is golden and clear, and the unique aroma of matsutake mushrooms and the wild and fresh aroma of roe deer meat are intertwined and rise, making people salivate at the smell.
Roe deer meat has a delicate and tender texture, better than veal, but with an added wild sweetness.
This meal replenishes qi and nourishes deficiency, strengthens the spleen and stimulates appetite, can enhance the body's immunity, and is an excellent nourishing product for those who are weak after illness and have a good appetite.
Taking into account that some guests may not eat meat or require light meals, Lu Qingyang specially designed this vegetarian dish.
The gathering space produces a variety of wild mushrooms - hazel mushrooms, hericium erinaceus, yellow mushrooms, etc., which are paired with yam, lotus seeds, and poria cocos that nourish the stomach and spleen, and boiled together.
The soup base is made with the juice exuded from the mushrooms themselves and the spring water from the space, with no extra seasoning added, relying purely on the original flavor of the ingredients.
When the soup is ready, it has a fragrant mushroom aroma, a delicious and mellow taste, and rich layers of flavor.
Long-term drinking can strengthen the spleen and stomach, calm the mind, moisten the lungs and eliminate phlegm. It is an excellent product for modern people to regulate sub-health conditions.
These new medicinal dishes based on the special products of Daxinganling have caused a sensation once again since their launch.
Mr. Fang was naturally the first batch to try it.
He drank the bowl of ginseng, wolfberry and venison soup, feeling the warmth, richer and warmer than fish soup, flowing through his limbs. He sighed comfortably and boasted to Mr. Li and Mr. Wang at the table, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
The old comrades also praised it highly, especially the bowl of wild mushroom soup, which made one old friend with a very good stomach come here for several days in a row and said that his stomach felt much better.
Of course, due to the special nature of the ingredients, these things are relatively expensive and are also limited in supply every day.
