Chapter 27 En Chengju's talented boy

Mr. Gao Yang Qi Rushan is not only knowledgeable, but also a gourmet expert. In those days, as long as there was a special dish in every restaurant in Beiping, he always invited a few friends to try it. Shaanxi Lane in Beiping is one of the eight alleys in Liuxiang, Huajie, where most of the Qingling classes in the north are concentrated.Accidentally, Mr. Qi discovered that there was a small restaurant called "Enchengju" in Shaanxi Lane, and it was of Cantonese taste. It was not only light and delicious, but also cheap. land.Once, Uncle Li Fei, Mei Wanhua’s secretary, and I finished playing the earth (now bowling, it was called the earth in the early years), and met Qi Rulao and Mei Wanhua at Zhushikou, and they were going to Enchengju for dinner. Too few and not lively enough, I happened to meet us, so I took us with me.At first I thought there could be any good restaurant among the flowers, but Ru always said: "You will know it after you taste it."

Enchengju consists of five or six huts, with neither single rooms nor elegant seats. If guests are afraid of noise, there is a small courtyard next to it, with a bamboo fence and mud floor, which is indifferent and elegant.For example, I asked the waiter to order a "Shancai boy" with two dishes and wine. The old rules are the green mushrooms of Tongrentang. I have eaten in restaurants in the north and south provinces of China, but "Shancai boy" I have never heard of the name of the dish, let alone eat it. As a result, the dishes were served on the table. "Shan" is stir-fried fish fillets with herbs and celery, "Cai" is mushroom soup with bonito, and "Tongzi" is chicken balls with oyster sauce.The name of the dish is novel and unique, and the taste of the dish is more mellow, smooth but not greasy, which is very suitable for my appetite that does not like heavy oil.It is said that Enchengju has a few special dishes, which were trained by the painter Jin Gongbei's Shaojun in the kitchen. Later, his delicious friends gave Enchengju an alias, called it Xiaoliuguo Restaurant, and it didn't take long for the Lugouqiao cannon , it closes down.The past has become smoke, and I am afraid that not many people know about the Xiaoliuguo Hotel in Beiping.
