Chapter 30: Wellington Steak
Liu Neng sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, skillfully cut off the head and tail of the cigar with a cigar scissor, pulled out a birch non-phosphorus match, rubbed it gently, and lit the cigar.
For a while, the fragrance of cigars permeated the entire conference room, and in the face of their questions, Liu Neng did not answer, but swallowed the cigar one after another.
"Mr. Liu, do you have anything to explain about our problem?"
Ma Bu's eyes were full of greedy eagerness, and he couldn't wait for Liu Neng to hurry up and say the problem of his group, so that he could take over immediately.
Liu Neng still didn't speak, gently spit out a puff of smoke rings, and looked at everyone present, with an indescribable taste in his heart.
After a long time, Liu Neng slowly spoke:
"Have you thought about it? Do you want to take over my empire? I don't want to reveal much more specific things, so we won't talk about it!"
Speaking of this, Liu Neng took another puff of his cigar, put it on the table, leaned back on the boss's chair, raised his head and slowly exhaled bursts of smoke, and said abruptly:
"Alas, I know that you all have your own little abacus, and I also know what you are thinking about, I Liu has no wishes in my life, and I haven't made any great achievements, it's the end of autumn, I want to do something practical, I'm afraid everyone here can't go the same way with me!"
Speaking of this, he slowly raised his body, and his eyes flashed with a hint of perseverance that he hadn't seen for a long time, and said:
"I'm sorry, if you have this mentality, then our cooperation will not be discussed! If you don't want to interfere in my affairs anymore, then we don't have to meet again in the future, if you have a good idea and want to continue to take over my business empire, then please change your mentality, when you are in the same mood as me, we will talk about it again!"
With that, Liu Neng got up and left, leaving only a room, with the faint fragrance of cigars and the people who sat down with a bewildered face......
"Are you done talking?"
As soon as he got in the car, he took out a knife speechlessly, gestured at Liu Neng's neck and said:
"When you're done, you're going to die!"
Liu Neng was speechless with disdain, as if he didn't want to go crazy with this child, so he said:
"You're driving, don't make a fuss!"
Speechless listening to this tone, he also understood in his heart, so he put down the knife, a little apprehensive in his heart, and clutched the note in his hand......
Liu Neng's home
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you!"
Liu Neng sat on the table, playing with his mobile phone, and asked.
Speechless, I haven't been served like this before, and I said a little uncomfortably:
"No need, make me a bowl of instant noodles!
Hearing this, Liu Neng couldn't help laughing, and he said while laughing:
"Hey, you don't have to look down on me so much, no matter how poor I am, I'm the richest man in Binhai, and I can still afford a meal. ”
But if you are speechless, it is indeed sincere, since he was born, the best thing he has ever eaten is instant noodles, and when he ate instant noodles for the first time, he even felt that he was moved to cry.
"I didn't lie to you, the instant noodles are delicious!"
Hearing this, Liu Neng's heart was sour, I don't know if it was because of the speechless experience, or because of the current situation in Binhai, he actually felt that everything he did was in vain, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
"Well, okay, then I'll do it myself!"
With that, Liu Neng clapped his hands, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Speechless, he was very curious about what Liu Neng was going to do for him, so he followed Liu Nengshen into the kitchen closely.
Although the house where Liu Neng lives is very dilapidated, the furniture in the house is readily available, not only that, but the grade of the home is also very high-end.
Can you open the double door? The refrigerator and refrigerator are lined with high-end ingredients, from birds to animals, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
The fridge was full of abundance, speechless and surprised, he had never seen so much delicious food, and he never knew what these foods tasted like.
Liu Neng crossed his waist, tied his apron, thought for a while in front of the refrigerator, and muttered:
"I'll make you a Wellington steak tonight!"
Saying that, Liu Neng skillfully took out the refrigerated filet mignon from the middle layer, put it on the cutting board, and waited for it to thaw naturally.
Speechless had never heard of this kind of food, and she stood on tiptoe to see what Liu Neng wanted to do.
Liu Neng was speechless and a little interested, so he said with great interest:
"Why Liu Yu, are you also interested, you have to be interested in sitting here and watching for a while!"
Hearing this, speechless and a little angry, he turned his head and stared at his eyes and asked:
"Who is Liu Yu?
Liu Neng didn't seem to hear this, but turned around and went into the refrigerator and took out mushrooms and carrots.
"Look closely, this dish is going to do this!"
Liu Neng said as he put the mushrooms into the basket and carefully cleaned every corner of the mushrooms.
It is easy to have residual bacteria on the mushroom's body, and the folds on the mushroom's body are a good place for the bacteria to hide.
Liu Neng was very concerned about the details, after he carefully cleaned the mushrooms, he took out the mustard from the cabinet, cut the washed white mushrooms and black mushrooms into small pieces, and put them in.
When the switch was pressed, there was a sound of "lala" mustard, and the original mushrooms turned into thin mushroom grains.
"You're such a good thing! I've never seen such a handy tool!"
Speechless, I looked at the mustard in my hand with some surprise, and listened to her holding it in her hand and swinging it uncontrollably.
"Beware of that thing is dangerous, don't touch it!"
Liu Neng was afraid that something would go wrong, so he hurriedly snatched the mustard from his speechless hand and put the cut carrot segments into it.
Liu Neng mixed the squeezed carrots and mushrooms together, stirred, sprinkled some salt, and said slowly:
"Be slow when sprinkling salt, let it melt into every crevice. ”
As he spoke, Liu Neng quickly stirred these two things, and when he saw that the mixture was almost done, he put the mushroom puree aside and turned to walk towards the Firi steak beside him.
"Use paper to drain the blood on the surface first!"
Liu Ning said as he skillfully spread the paper on the steak and evenly absorbed the blood on the surface.
"Then we're going to color the steak, remember, just color, don't fry it!"
Dead Yu didn't know what Ling Ling was talking about, but he still pretended to be very serious, carefully watching Liu Neng's every step, he seemed to have great expectations for this meal.
Liu Neng said as he put the frying pan on the induction cooker, lightly added a few points of oil, and put the filet mignon on it.
The steak emitted an extremely fragrant smell the moment it touched the oil pot, and his greedy speechless saliva flowed, pointing to the steak and asking:
"Can you eat it then? I see that his surface has changed color, is it cooked?"
When Liu Neng heard this, he snorted and laughed, and while laughing, he skillfully turned the steak over, constantly turning over, making him constantly change color, and said while turning:
"Of course not, didn't I tell you? It's just coloring, and it's not ripe at all!"
With that, Liu Neng colored the last steak and took the steak out of the oil pan.
"Next we're going to go for our mushroom sauce, which seems to me to be a soul in this dish, of course you can also put foie gras in it, but I think you may not get used to the taste of foie gras. ”
Liu Neng said as he poured the mixed mushroom puree and carrot puree into the frying pan, and while the oil star just now, he hurriedly fried the carrot puree and mushroom puree together, and said while stir-frying:
"Liu Yu, you have to remember, you must fry the water dry, you have to fry the mushroom puree into mushroom sauce, you have to squeeze the water of the two of them thoroughly, but at the same time, you can't take it, everyone has to put the original flavor of the mushrooms and carrots in the mushroom puree. ”
Speechless, he listened as if he didn't understand, although he didn't understand how this dish was made, although he didn't understand food and delicacies, but his memory was very good, every word Liu Neng said before, he had already engraved it in his heart now.
Liu Neng seemed to practice this dish often, and the heat was also controlled just right, almost as soon as the last drop of juice rose into the sky, he turned off the heat and quickly poured the mushroom sauce on the plate.
"Alright, now we're going to take out the plastic wrap and marinate the steak!"
She said with a smile on her face, as if he was the best at this step.
Liu Neng took out a section of plastic wrap from the cabinet, spread the plastic wrap on the table, and took out a few slices from the refrigerator with a turn, and the authentic Iberian ham was spread on the plastic wrap.
"Use the best ingredients, make the most delicious food!"
As he spoke, he gently placed the colored steak on the plastic wrap of the ham.
"The ham, the mushroom sauce and the English mustard we're about to add are all salty, so we don't need to add any more salt now!"
As he spoke, he put the extra Iberian ham on top of the steak, spread the freshly fried mushroom sauce evenly on the surface of the steak and ham, took out the English yellow mustard, squeezed it evenly on the surface of the steak, and brushed it with a brush.
"Okay, now is the most important step! We're going to pinch up the sides of the plastic wrap and wrap the steak whole in the plastic wrap, remember, the yellow mustard is to be wrapped in the ham!"
As she spoke, she skillfully started this step, this familiar step, he seemed to do it every day, very skillfully, while wrapping it, he said:
"Alright, now we're going to spin him and wrap the steak tightly in plastic wrap!"
The steak was tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, Liu Neng turned around and opened the refrigerator, put the steak into the refrigeration and said:
"Liu Yu, you have to remember, you must refrigerate for 20 minutes, so that she can marinate and taste, remember?"
Speechless, he nodded as if he didn't understand, although he didn't like the name very much, but when she was concentrating on listening to Liu Neng's speech, he couldn't care about it.
He seemed to have developed a strong interest in the dish, and he kept looking at his watch, quietly waiting for 20 minutes to come.
"Okay, so the next step is also very important! We're going to take out the good quality puff pastry and put the freshly marinated steak in it! Remember, put a crepe in the middle of the puff pastry and the steak to make the puff pastry of the Wellington steak crispier." ”
Speaking of this, he asked speechlessly:
"What if I don't add it? Could it be that he can't eat it?"
Liu Neng smiled, squinted at speechlessness, and said while working:
"That way, the puff pastry won't be crispy! The Wellington steak puff pastry has to be crispy!"
As he spoke, Liu Neng rolled up the steak with puff pastry, added it to plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Speechless became more and more interested in this steak, and the redundant steps and fragrant taste had already seduced his saliva into his mouth.
"Liu Neng, when can I eat it?"
Liu Neng saw that he was speechless and in such a hurry, and said with a smile:
"It's still early! Don't worry, it's a lot of good things!"
Hearing this, he nodded speechlessly, but his stomach rumbled.
"Give me a bowl of instant noodles! I'm starving!"
Liu Neng couldn't stand it anymore, but he still made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said:
"Wait a little longer, it's coming!"
Hearing this, he was speechless, looked at the refrigerator in despair, looked at the watch in his hand again, and silently read in his heart:
"Hurry up, please, I'm going to starve to death!"
The long 20 minutes finally passed, and he looked at the marinated steak speechlessly and excitedly, he touched the cold puff pastry, sighed and said:
"How can you eat this, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Liu Neng said with a smile:
"Of course not, we still need to bake it in the oven!"
As he spoke, Liu Neng put the finished steak in a baking tray lined with tin foil, knocked another egg into the bowl, and beat the egg evenly.
Use a small brush to gently brush the egg wash into every crevice of the steak little by little, so that the steak is full and full of egg liquid.
"The egg wash in this step is indispensable, and without the puff pastry of this steak, it is not fragrant enough and crispy enough!"
After skillfully wiping it while talking, Liu Neng said while reversing the temperature of the oven:
"Food is like love, ferment slowly, the taste is better!"
Speechless, he couldn't understand what Liu Neng was talking about, he just wanted to eat this steak now, he watched Liu Nengjian set the oven temperature to 200 degrees, and asked the steak to be put into the oven with the tray.
"Will it be all right away?"
Liu Neng nodded, hurriedly took out the black pepper sauce from the cabinet, put it in the frying pan, and slowly warmed it.
Speechless, he lay in front of the oven tightly, looking at the steak inside, staring at the yellowing little by little, watching her puff pastry, bulging a little bit, his eyes were full of light.
"Ding~", the oven instantly darkened, speechless, jumped up excitedly when he saw this, and said:
"Liu Neng, look! The steak is ready!"
Liu Neng had already heard the noise, he looked at the steak sauce that had been made in the frying pan, smiled and brought out the baking tray and put it on the table.
The fishless Tianzhuang was about to eat when it was paved, Liu Neng hurriedly stopped him speechlessly and said:
"Liu Yu, you slow down, it's too hot now, wait for it to cool for ten minutes!"
looked at him speechlessly, and said with a wry smile:
"Liu Neng, if this meal is not delicious, I really have to smash your house first!"
Speaking of this, Speechless went to the living room and moved a small stool, sat on the edge of the kitchen, stared at the steak in the baking tray, and counted the time little by little.
"It's been ten minutes!"
Almost at the moment when time returned to zero, he shouted loudly and speechlessly:
"It's time to cut the steak! Finally ready to eat it, I've been waiting for about two hours!"
Liu Neng looked at the face of a child in front of him, and while laughing, he gently cut the long-awaited Wellington steak with a knife.
A long-planned juice gushes out of the steak, and the faint yellow juice exudes an attractive aroma.
The center of the steak is tender, the puff pastry is crispy, and the mushroom sauce and carrots are strongly emanated, and the aroma is mixed with the steak, and the unique meat aroma rushes into the speechless nose.
"What does this smell like? It smells so good! I can't hold back my saliva!"
Speechless, he picked up the plate as he spoke, waiting for Ryu Neng to clip the steak into his plate.
Liu Neng simply cut the steak into four pieces, and put three pieces on the speechless plate, and Du Jiang's secret black pepper sauce was evenly sprinkled on the steak.
After taking advantage of the situation, he sandwiched a few pieces of boiled broccoli and put them on the plate, everything was done, Liu Neng clapped his hands, and said proudly:
"Wellington's steak is done!
Speechless couldn't help it for a long time, you didn't want to run and climbed onto the table with a steak.
Speechless only used a fork when eating instant noodles, and he was a little clumsy to fork a piece of steak with a fork, gently cut it with a knife, inserted a piece, and put it in his mouth.
The mellow aroma of the beef mixed with the crispy aroma of the puff pastry and entered his throat.
"Hmm~~"
Speechless had never eaten such delicious food, and he was so excited that he closed his eyes and savored the food.
Speechless almost just enjoyed it for a minute, and then began to happily gobble down the steak......
"Is it delicious?"
"Then I don't need to say! I didn't lose two hours of waiting!"
Speechless patted his belly and said with a smile:
"It's the best thing I've ever tasted in my life!"
Liu Neng looked innocently speechless, and thought with some pity:
"How can this kid be taught to kill people at such a young age? He has not yet experienced the beauty of the world, but he has to experience the sinister nature of the world, I am afraid that this is the darkness of the human heart!"
Liu Neng felt sorry for his speechlessness as he stood up, took the plates on the table back into the kitchen, and began to brush them skillfully.
Speechless looked at the note in his hand, clenched it tightly, and looked at Liu Neng in the kitchen, sighed, shook his head, Jian Zhong seemed to be full of disappointment, and full of endless loss......
