Chapter 466 Half Moon Sinking into the River
Gu Chang took a few glances and saw Sanni's frightened expression, then he had an idea in his mind, it seemed that he had found the real culprit.
"Ange, please sit down for a moment. I'll go get Second Aunt to come and talk to you." Gu Chang said to Ange with a smile.
"Okay, that's great!" Ange's eyes lit up when he heard it! For Ange, only cooking could make him forget everything in the world!
"Everyone, please disperse. It's okay. It's all a misunderstanding. Everyone should go about their own business!" Seeing that there were still people watching around, Gu Chang spoke quickly.
"Okay, okay, Boss Gu is here. This is just a misunderstanding. Let's all go!"
"Disperse, disperse. No one wants to destroy the shop. Stop spreading rumors!"
"I just heard someone came to the store to cause trouble..."
"Hey, I heard that someone smashed the restaurant and even Aunt Gu was beaten up!"
"Ah? Who said that?"
"I don't know... Anyway, someone said..."
"..."
The villagers walked away, each mumbling something, discussing what had just happened as they walked.
Gu Chang stood there, listening to the discussions of the crowd as they left, a helpless smile on his face.
These villagers always like to spread rumors, magnifying a small matter infinitely, and the rumors often become more and more outrageous.
Obviously nothing happened today, but after everyone made it so public, it almost became a big deal.
Thinking of this, Gu Chang couldn't help but shook his head and turned around to go back to the store.
Just then, he suddenly saw Sanni walking out slowly, as if she was afraid of being discovered by him.
"Sanni, come here." Gu Chang shouted.
When she heard his voice, Sanni's body froze instantly, as if she had been cast under a spell.
She slowly turned her head, her eyes full of fear and helplessness, tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to fall at any moment.
"Wuwuwu...Boss Gu, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Sanni said in a tearful voice, "I thought he hadn't finished his meal yet, and he wanted to talk to Aunt Gu..."
"He also said that the food was a little special..."
Sanni sobbed and explained, "Wuwuwu, it's all my fault for thinking too much..."
Having said that, Sanni could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
“Wow wow wow…”
"..."
Sanni burst into tears with a sound so loud that it scared both Gu Chang and Ange!
Gu Chang looked at Sanni in confusion. He really couldn't understand what he had said wrong to make this little girl so sad.
Uh... I just wanted to ask her, I didn't want to blame her, so why is she crying?
Ang was also a little at a loss. Once the little girl started crying, it was very difficult to comfort her!
"Uh... Sanni, stop crying!" Gu Chang scratched his head and said awkwardly.
Sanni continued to sob and cry, sobbing and saying: "Boss Gu...Boss Gu...I'm...I'm sorry..."
When Gu Chang heard this, he didn't know what to do. He had never encountered such a situation before.
"It's okay, I don't blame you, you were very vigilant and did a great job!"
Gu Chang felt very embarrassed. He knew Sanni did this out of kindness, but now she was made to cry by him and he felt very bad.
Ange also echoed, "Yes, I don't blame you, it's all a misunderstanding, just talk it out!"
Sanni sobbed and asked, "Really? You don't blame me?"
Gu Chang nodded quickly and said, "Of course it's true, don't cry."
"Okay, stop crying. If you keep crying your eyes will get swollen and it won't look good!" Ang comforted.
After hearing this, Sanni slowly stopped crying and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Seeing that Sanni stopped crying, Gu Chang and Ange both breathed a sigh of relief.
……
The two of them finally coaxed the little girl into submission. At this time, Second Aunt Gu had also finished her work and walked out from the kitchen!
"Xiao Chang, what's wrong?" Second Aunt said with a smile.
"Second Aunt, this is Ange, a world-class chef!"
Gu Chang pointed at Ange and explained.
Second Aunt was startled, looked at Ange, and blurted out.
"A world-class chef? So young?"
Gu Chang smiled and said, "Anger is a famous chef, you don't see him often."
"He has something about cooking that he wants to discuss with you!"
Second Aunt widened her eyes and said in disbelief.
"Communicate with me?"
"You are such a great chef, but you want to communicate with me? I am still far from being as good as him..." Aunt Gu said embarrassedly.
"You are too modest!" Ang said seriously.
"I wonder what you want to communicate?" Aunt Gu asked curiously.
"It's like this, the 'Half Moon Sinking into the River' just now tasted so good, I really want to learn how to make it from you!"
Ange looked at Aunt Gu with shining eyes and said.
"Ah? Learn to cook from me?" Aunt Gu said in shock.
A world-class master learning to cook from himself?
Second Aunt Gu found it hard to accept for a moment!
"Why don't you learn from my teacher? I'm afraid... I'll delay you!" Aunt Gu said embarrassedly.
"Who is your teacher?" Ang asked curiously.
"A master chef of Fujian cuisine." Gu Chang said with a smile.
Ange's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.
"Oh? I wonder where he is now?"
"Uh... the teacher had something to do recently and has returned to Fujian." Aunt Gu said.
A month ago, Old Li went back to Fujian!
After staying here for so long, Old Li doesn’t want to go back!
"That's a pity!" Ang said with a disappointed expression.
"But I'm already very happy to learn from you!" Looking at Aunt Gu, Ange said excitedly.
Second Aunt Gu glanced at Gu Chang, and Gu Chang nodded encouragingly at her.
Aunt Gu turned around, looked at Ange, nodded hesitantly, and said: "Well... okay then!"
Several people walked into the restaurant's kitchen together, where they were going to learn how to make the classic Fujian dish - Half Moon Sinking into the River.
Half Moon Sinking into the River is a famous vegetarian dish at Nanputuo Temple. It is not only a soup dish with southern Fujian characteristics, but also a classic of Fujian cuisine!
The main ingredients of this dish include mushrooms, tofu and winter bamboo shoots. The soup is clear and the taste is extremely delicious. Because its shape is like a half moon sinking into the river, it is named "Half Moon Sinking into the River", which has a profound meaning and makes people linger.
In fact, this dish was originally called Angelica Gluten Soup. It is said that when Mr. Guo Moruo came to Xiamen, he tasted this vegetarian dish at a banquet.
At that time, the dish was prepared by piling half of the gluten blocks into a milky white crescent shape, and the other half into a dark black crescent shape with mushrooms, then adding angelica as a seasoning to make the soup, and finally stewing winter bamboo shoots as a side dish.
The whole dish was served in a large bowl, and it looked like a half-moon shadow sinking to the bottom of the river.
When Guo Moruo saw this dish, he couldn't help but feel emotional and blurted out the four words "Half Moon Sinking into the River".
Everyone present praised the name as ingenious. From then on, the dish was named "Half Moon Sinking into the River" and has been passed down to this day.
Guo Moruo also composed a poem for this: "I came from Zhoushan, Putuo and Putuo again. The natural forests and valleys are beautiful, but I deeply regret that there are so many names on them. The half moon sank to the bottom of the river, and thousands of peaks are like eye sockets. Three cups of wine lead to the avenue, what do the five elders think?"
Since then, the popularity of this dish has increased rapidly and it has become a representative dish of Fujian cuisine!
