156 Caramel Quail
When Wang Qi heard Tang Qian's words, she was so moved that she almost didn't kneel down, and whispered, "Sister...... Grandma, that dress was approaching five figures......"
"Who told you to buy that. "Tang Qian pinched the skirt and looked at it.
When Wang Qi thought that she should also agree with her opinion that this dress was too expensive, Tang Qian said: "It's not going to the funeral, why buy it." β
Wang Qi felt like her knees were about to break.
"It has a young line. Tang Qian pulled her Shi Shiran upstairs, "Let's go, let's go up to the second floor to see." β
The clerk who was bored at the counter didn't plan to pay attention to Tang Qian and Wang Qi, thinking that the two little girls wanted to come in to see the excitement, but no one paid attention, so they would have left by themselves with a cold face.
In the past year, they have seen a lot of such customers, all of whom are new to come in, and they are so frightened by the price version that they can't find the excuse and run away directly.
But as soon as he saw Tang Qian's posture, he hurriedly walked over: "Both, do you need to commute daily or commuting?"
Tang Qian: "Daily." β
The clerk laughed out the standard eight teeth: "Then I'll take you up to the second floor to see, the one on the first floor is really not suitable for daily life." β
Tang Qian hummed lightly, and let the clerk lead the way. Wang Qi was also infected by Tang Qian's aura in the back, straightened her waist, and thought to herself that the old lady had gone out today!
While walking in front, the clerk did not forget to turn around and remind Tang Qian and Wang Qi: "Be careful of the stairs, two of you." β
The tone on the second floor is really younger, and the cut is a little more lively, Tang Qian finally smiled: "Let's pick it first, and then call you later." β
The clerk walked away with a sense of interest: "Those two pick slowly, if necessary, my name is dy, just on the edge of the stairs, I heard you scream." β
After speaking, he didn't dare to stay, and Dy knew that the more such a guest, the more he had to leave space for her. This type of guest is different from those local tyrants and ladies, they don't like to be disturbed, so they like to pick out clothes quietly.
She looked at Tang Qian's young face, and she was both envious and jealous in her heart - most of this kind of little girl has money in the family and looks so good, it is really full of hatred.
Dy stood on the edge of the stairs and thought - who told her, all roads lead to Rome, but some people were born in Rome.
This guest is probably from Rome who came here to "experience life......
She didn't know, in fact, just a year ago, Tang Qian was worse than her I don't know how many times.
Everyone knows that they are glamorous in front of people, and the bitterness behind them is sour, who wants to take it out and parade it in the streets?
Tang Qian quickly chose a set of chic dresses for Wang Qi, with an irregular small V-neck, although the whole is black, but there is no sense of seriousness, and the mint green narrow edge of the skirt brings out Wang Qi's youth, and it is not solemn, and it will not fall frivolous, which is very suitable for attending the banquet of the picky mother-in-law.
Next, Tang Qian quickly and accurately took Wang Qi to visit a few stores and bought shoes and bags, because Wang Qi felt cold, and both of them bought a thin jacket from family B.
Tang Qian raised an envelope in his hand: "Let's go, let's go to dinner." β
Wang Qi was dumbfounded: "Wait a minute, we made an appointment with Chen Liran's mother at half past seven, do you still want to go to dinner now? It's past five o'clock now." β
Tang Qian smiled and pulled Wang Qi forward: "Are the shoes still suitable?"
The open-toed sandals, hands and feet Wang Qi has already done nail art, and the nude color is slightly darker than the skin, which is very white.
Tang Qian said: "Isn't Chen Liran's house near here? We don't have to eat for so long, it will definitely be possible in an hour, and then we will go over in time." β
The restaurant where Tang Qian took Wang Qi was a French restaurant, written in French, with a red and black color scheme.
Wang Qi didn't understand what that word meant, only knew to follow Tang Qian in.
As soon as I entered, a large portrait hung at the door, and Tang Qian introduced it to Wang Qi: "It is a portrait of the founder of this brand, a chef with three Michelin stars, and later two stars." There are many of his stores around the world, and this one in Jiangcheng is also newly opened. β
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a long bar counter, and the chairs were a little dense, and there were not many people at this time, almost all of them were reserved seats.
The clerk came over enthusiastically and politely, Wang Qi didn't even see where he came from, and the clerk appeared as soon as he entered the store.
After asking for their names, the clerk asked them if they would like to hang up their coats for them.
Tang Qian and Wang Qi handed over their coats to the clerk, and the clerk left softly.
Tang Qian whispered to Wang Qi: "The taste of this house, I have tasted it in my last life, it is not very good, Michelin three stars make the feeling of street goods, but everyone eats in an atmosphere." I'm bringing you here to familiarize yourself with it, tonight we will cook meals for Chen Liran and her mother, you have to know the order and attention of the meal. β
Wang Qi said, "Didn't you already teach me before? β
"Practice is not the same as actual combat. Tang Qian said, "Eating here, the atmosphere is different." Now let's go through it again, and we won't be afraid tonight. I didn't bring you here before because I was afraid that if I came early, you wouldn't remember, after all, I don't eat often. It's just right to eat now, you can use it at night, and you don't have to eat it all. We're here to try it, you can eat less desserts, just know what it looks like. β
Although it was a tasting, but the menu was fully prepared, Tang Qian first asked Wang Qi to look at the menu, and explained to her one by one what is the appetizer and what is the dessert, with a comparison of French, English and Chinese.
Wang Qi was still very curious: "Tang Qian, when did you make an appointment for this restaurant to taste? β
"I didn't have an appointment, they invited me to taste the food. Tang Qian said, "Teacher Gao gave it to me, so I came today, the dishes are just the style, and the amount has been explained, let us make less, we can eat one or two bites." β
Wang Qi was very tall when he heard this "tasting food", and hurriedly followed Tang Qian in and sat down.
Tang Qian said to Wang Qi: "Today will give us a set meal, you have to be mentally prepared, maybe you may not be used to eating, but their products, to the world for a lifetime have been maintained very exquisitely, you have to remember the order of their dishes, as well as the way to eat." Just taste it, I can let them withdraw, remember it, it's not difficult. There are some more single-point ones in the back, and what I'm going to do tonight, and I'll focus on telling you. β
Wang Qi immediately concentrated on everything, and found that the towel was also printed with the initials of the chef's own name.
First up is the classic selection set menu, seven courses.
The appetizer is foie gras mousse, and cream milk cheese.
When the food is served, the smoke is filled, and the effect is very good.
Wang Ji stirred it, the entrance was sweet and sour, and the taste felt average.
"Butter and bread are sent, you taste it. Tang Qian tasted it, "The quality of the oil is average, the same as the supermarket goods, and the bread tastes good." β
Salmon caviar, fishy or not, but Wang Qi really can't get used to this soft and collapsed taste.
Tang Qian thinks that it can melt when she puts it in her mouth, the spice seasoning is just right, and it covers the fishy smell, and the caviar particles are full, salty, fresh and delicious, she chose champagne to match, and she feels that the taste is better.
But Wang Qi's whole person came down to eat, and it was not good.
Next is sea urchin, which is frothed with mustard milk, which completely brings out the sweetness of the seafood, and the refreshing fishy smell is completely absent, and the taste is refreshing.
Behind is the sea bream, the meat is tender, the scales are crispy, and the tomato soup tastes good.
The main course is wagyu beef, foie gras, served with beef consommΓ©. The juice of the beef is completely retained, and the entrance is soft and slag-free, with a milky flavor.
Foie gras is rich in fat and served with chopped black pepper, which can be cut in large pieces, and it is very refreshing!
The classic butter potatoes are particularly good in the mouth, smooth and fragrant.
Wang Qi felt that he was still a little tired, and what about the beef soup, Wang Qi felt that the ginger flavor was too strong, and the taste was too domineering!
The dessert is okay, Wang Qi remembered that Tang Qian couldn't tell more, only ate one bite, and there was a macaron in the back, which was a mess, and I felt that Tang Qian was better than this one.
She was a little glad that she just came to try the dishes, and she didn't feel wasted with just one bite of everything, otherwise at this price, she would feel distressed and have a stomachache after eating.
The dishes on the back are specially requested by Tang Qian, the classic crab meat caviar tart, decorated with cabbage puree, and the visual impact of the plating is too great, Wang Qi really couldn't help it, and whispered to Tang Qian: "I feel that all the β‘β‘ have been cut and arranged." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her chest and rubbed goosebumps to finish eating.
Wang Qi couldn't understand the next dish, so when the people left, he asked, "Is this a braised pigeon?"
It smelled much better, burnt and burnt, with a hint of sweetness.
"Caramel quail. Tang Qian said, "It's a famous dish, this is what I'm going to do tonight, wait for me to buy two quails, live, you can give those two as gifts to Chen Liran's mother." β
Wang Qi couldn't laugh and cry: "Do you want to deliberately fix me, or do you want to give his mother a dismount?
"Don't worry, just do as I say. Tang Qian said, "Okay, you also remember seven, seven, eight, eight, let's eat two bites and leave, I borrowed an incubator from the store, let's take a taxi." β
Wang Qi noticed just now that every time Tang Qian ate a dish, she would tap it with her index finger on that dish, and she knew that this was Tang Qian's method of including the real thing in the menu, and she also had a little bottom in her heart.
Tang Qian wants a fresh-keeping box, that is, to put the ingredients in it, it looks like he just bought it himself, what kind of foie gras roe, carry it in a bag.
Chen Liran had already greeted his mother and said that he had invited Tang Qian to come over to cook.
The little old lady was also very happy, knowing that it was difficult to make an appointment with Tang Qian, and she was reluctant to go to Nan'an Road, so she had never officially eaten the dishes made by Tang Qian, and she had eaten a little bit, but from the mouth of her friends, she heard that even ordinary snacks were particularly delicious, so she kept reading it.
It's just that she thinks that the South Shore Road side is not stylish enough, and she is just playing around with those little stars, so she refuses to go, but Tang Qian is really famous in the circle.
She wanted to eat it, and asked her son to bring her back the dishes, but it was always not so interesting.
This time she invited Tang Qian, and she was very happy.
Chen Liran said: "I didn't invite anyone, but she came to cheer because she heard that her good sister Wang Qi was also coming." β
The little old lady's face darkened half when she heard this, but she thought that Tang Qian was coming, and she was going to her house to make it for her, so she had a lot of face!
Although I can't think about it in my heart, I still don't forgive people in my mouth: "You just have to say good things! I know it in my heart! You are the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and Tang Qian has a column in your magazine, and I don't know who invited it, so I want you to say it." β
Chen Liran was really convinced by the little old lady: "Yes, yes, what my mother said is right, I won't speak from now on."
Although Chen Liran often shouts from the little old lady and the little old lady, his mother is very well maintained.
Although he is forty or fifty years old, he looks like he is in his early 40s, and the clothes are relatively good, and the taste is not bad, and the overall look is particularly elegant.
It's just that this eye is above the top is a bit unacceptable, Chen Liran shook his head in distress.
The fresh-keeping boxes borrowed by Tang Qian were all low-temperature refrigerated, and the boxes were relatively heavy, and the two of them dragged them to the car.
When they arrived at the door, Chen Liran came to pick them up, and they didn't need to drag it for a long time, and it contained caviar and foie gras bought from the "recipe" with soup and coriander.
Wang Qi held an incubator with dry ice in his hand, surrounded by two stripped quails.
Wang Qi was carrying this "gift", and she was very uncertain.
As soon as the little old lady saw Wang Qi, she moved her unceremonious face, but she was really amazed by her dress, but she was used to being mean, and blurted out: "I worked hard tonight, and I dressed up ceremoniously for a home-cooked dinner, which made me a little embarrassed." β
Because she herself felt that she didn't have to be polite to Wang Qi, she spoke as if she had β‘β‘ water, even if Chen Liran was there and Tang Qian was there, she was not polite.
Tang Qian deeply felt the hardships of Wang Qi's future life, and told her to see that Mrs. Chen's age and spirit may not be able to live for a few decades.
When the time comes, according to her mouth, who will say that she will die first, she feels that Wang Qi may hang up first.
Wang Qi had been brainwashed by Tang Qian before he came - as if this was the last time he saw Chen Liran's mother.
Wang Qi immediately presented the two quails: "Auntie, this is my gift to you." β
Smiling and not humble or arrogant, the little old lady was bluffed, and took the "gift" handed over by Wang Qi in a daze.
The "gift" is a bit of a hand, very delicately wrapped, with ribbons crossed and one corner knotted into an elegant bow.
The little old lady opened the gift as she walked inside: "There are still gifts...... Thank you, thank you. β
She originally wanted to show Wang Qi's face, but she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, everyone is like this, she is not a shrew, she can't be scolded by people, and she has to do enough work on her face.
Wait for the next dinner to say a few words to her in etiquette, so that she knows who she is, Mrs. Chen thought.
As a result, as soon as the gift was opened, she couldn't hold back when the two quails were laid in front of her, and sneered at Wang Qi: "What does this mean?
Wang Qi couldn't accumulate the courage to break the net, she regarded this time as the last time, and if she could play at a super level, she inexplicably calmed down.
She smiled calmly: "These are the two best quails I have carefully selected, let my best friend cook you her best dish." β
Chen Liran's mother had to look at her twice, thinking in her heart that she could pack and speak, okay. However, it was still a little unpleasant to look at her, and then she didn't answer.
The maid stepped forward first to cover the box, and politely led the soup to the kitchen.
Tang Qian kept pulling Wang Qi, and Mrs. Chen was embarrassed to snub Wang Qi too much, so she had to adjust her mood and invite everyone to take a seat.
Tang Qian requisitioned their kitchen.
I made the appetizer first, although everyone didn't talk much, and Chen Liran was adjusting the atmosphere during the period, but the atmosphere was obviously a little better.
Mrs. Chen began to be a little unnatural, she felt that the girl in front of her was not as she thought, and her son's attitude towards him was beyond her imagination, and he was really serious.
The last time she saw Wang Qi, although she was dressed differently, she could see that she really liked her son, and after she was so sad about this little girl, she could still attend her ill-intentioned dinner in such a state, was she too disadvantaged?
Because the embarrassing atmosphere continued in the air, Mrs. Chen was embarrassed to keep doing this, so she had to simply ask Wang Qi's major, which was what Wang Qi said last time she didn't give a chance.
Wang Qi was also a little surprised, last time Mrs. Chen's attitude was aggressive, that posture, she felt that even if she was the daughter of the president of the United States, she would not give face, but tonight's attitude was much better. She couldn't believe it, and even wondered if this was another routine of Mrs. Chen to hit her.
Next, we talked about the various clubs of the school, and Mrs. Chen said: "I also went out of the University of Cases back then, there are so many universities in Jiangcheng, I think the humanistic atmosphere of the University is the strongest, after so many years, I have to go back to my alma mater to see sometime." β
Wang Qi took it casually: "If Auntie comes, I'll accompany you for a walk." β
As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned, Chen Liran was afraid that his mother would say something unpleasant, so he hurriedly said: "Then dare to be kind, I will also go with you, I haven't visited your school yet!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen did not object, and said, "Okay, should the case have changed a lot now? Is the old school still there? In which building are you taking classes in now?"
The alarm was lifted, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere suddenly improved again.
Later, Mrs. Chen really couldn't find anything to say, she was a middle-aged woman, and the skin care brands she used were different from those of young people.
She went over to watch the soup and coriander cook.
Tang Qian is making caramel quail, the foie gras has been cut and stuffed into the quail.
Seeing Mrs. Chen's curiosity, Tang Qian explained: "The quail was already pickled when I made the appetizer. β
The quail was swept with a layer of sugar, and Tang Qian put the quail in the oven and set the temperature.
Mrs. Chen said: "This foie gras looks good, it's not fooling people outside, Miss Tang has worked hard." β
Tang Qian responded lightly: "It's not hard to eat for people who know how to eat." β
After finishing speaking, he smiled faintly, and didn't say anything more, so he turned back and continued to prepare the dessert later.
Mrs. Chen looked at Tang Qian's serious face, how to see how she liked it, she thought that her son was chasing Tang Qian all day long, thinking that this daughter-in-law was good, with a good temperament and a lot of understanding, although she was frying and boiling in the kitchen, but there was no smell of oil smoke, but a little unearthly fresh.
She just liked the tune.
However, after ten or eight minutes, she felt a little unbearable, or Wang Qi spoke better, she stood for a while and felt bored, feeling that this soup coriander was also a little too eye-catching. At a young age, she touched a gray nose.
Mrs. Chen was preparing when Tang Qian turned her head and explained to her where the ingredients for these dishes came from.
Mrs. Chan felt a little valued again. The mood is good again.
came and went, several times, and finally Mrs. Chen was a little unbearable by Tang Qian's hot and cold emotions, so she asked, "Does Miss Tang mind if I ask you a question?"
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Although he showed surprise, the expression on his face was still faint.
"Do you get along with your mother like this?" said Mrs. Chan, "you seem to be one, and you are not very ...... in personality Not really
β¦β¦ Well, you're more independent, aren't you?"
Tang Qian was a little shy at this time and said: "Oh, yes, I'm not very talkative, I usually do the same with my mother, my aunt said about me, said that I won't be coquettish, it seems to be too cold to my family, but I've always been like this, everyone is used to it, Wang Qi also knows, she is my best friend, but when I am with her, I won't be as close as other girls." β
Mrs. Chen was relieved at this momentβoh, it turned out that she was not only doing this to herself, but also to her own mother. This kind of character is not very good to be a daughter and daughter-in-law, and it is very difficult to get along.
Although Mrs. Chen likes Tang Qian, but she likes it, but she also feels that it is fortunate that her son is not chasing Tang Qian, so how difficult it will be to get along in the future, compared to Wang Qi's personality.
Mrs. Chen tried to ask, "Does Miss Tang have a boyfriend?" I heard, but I just heard from my friend, and when we were chatting, it seemed like you were with Lin Qu's nephew, right? What is your name, I can't remember it all at once......
"Zhuang Shize. The corners of Tang Qian's eyes crooked, "My boyfriend's name is Zhuang Shize." β
Mrs. Chen was a little stunned, this smile was very warm, completely different from what she was facing just now, and she was more popular.
"Oh, yes. Mrs. Chen said, "It's called Zhuang Shize, I heard that it's amazing, and her character is good, Miss Tang is really a blessing." β
Mrs. Chen returned to the table, didn't care about Wang Qi's presence, and slapped Chen Liran with her backhand: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"
However, the innocent Chen Liran looked confused: "Mom?"
Mrs. Chen was so angry that her heart ached, no wonder Tang Qian looked down on her son...... No, it's the son who doesn't look at people...... It's not right, this rabbit cub is not as good as Zhuang Shize at all.
"Wang Qi, don't pay attention to this loser. Mrs. Chen said, "Tell your aunt about what you have in your hometown." β
Chen Liran: "......"
Who did he recruit and provoke whom?
Wang Qi didn't know what Tang Qian said to Mrs. Chen, but she knew that her attitude suddenly softened, and the apprehension in her heart was gone, to tell the truth, she had nothing to fake anyway, and if she cheated, it would be easy to be seen through in the future, so she would simply be honest about everything.
When it comes to his family, Wang Qi is also honest, but Wang Qi has also explained that he is now earning tuition fees to go to school, and he has cut off contact with his family.
This inexplicably touched Mrs. Chen, although she still likes the daughter of a famous family, but Wang Qi's stubbornness inexplicably moved her.
In fact, there are many such relatives in her family, and they have slowly cut off contact, but they still have to see each other during the New Year's holidays, and they are always said by those people to have no conscience, and they are really angry.
By the time the caramel quail came up, the two of them had already had a hot chat, if it weren't for the domineering fragrance, neither of them would necessarily stop, and even Chen Liran was left aside.
But Chen Liran was happy, while eating next to him, watching his girlfriend chatting with his mother so happily, what could be happier than this!
Caramel quail is a charred color, and there are four people, each with half of it.
The burnt skin is red into a shell, and the edge is gently broken with a "click" when cut, and the foie gras seeps with the juice of the sauce, and it is eaten with the meat of the quail, which has a different flavor.
A bite of meat, the sugar is roasted, with the meat, the sweetness is reduced, the fragrance increases, the original weak meat flavor is lined with vivid color, rich in layering, rich in taste, after biting in the mouth, suck it again, swallow the juice backwards, taste the juice fragrance in the throat first, and then taste the meat quality at the tip of the tooth.
The dishes are really well done, Mrs. Chen thought to herself, it seems that although the two quails sent by Wang Qi are child's play, they also make sense.
The last dish is dessert, much better than in the French restaurant just now, Wang Qi thought, the dessert made by Tang Qian has a refreshing taste, and it does not make the word "sweet" become "greasy" at all, the sweetness is light, and the silky taste is just right to clear the throat.
The maid waited for everyone to finish eating, came up and removed all the utensils, Mrs. Chen said, "I let people make flower tea, everyone go to the sun room steadily, I have a good night view here." β
Tang Qian and Wang Qi's mobile phones suddenly rang with a message prompt, and the two of them opened it at the same time to see-
Mu Xiaotong had a stomachache and was sent to the hospital. 166 Reading Network
