Chapter 456: Sugar and Ingredients
When a sweet and sour carp that almost jumped out of the plate was brought to the table, Nanming's saliva flowed.
This carp is the one that Lao Zhu caught from the pond just now.
It was also while waiting that Nanming learned that the pond outside the farmhouse was actually living water, a reservoir dug from a tributary of the Yellow River.
So when this fish was served, Nanming almost couldn't believe that he had eaten the authentic signature dish of Lu cuisine in Yongxi Province, sweet and sour Yellow River carp.
Compared to carp elsewhere, Yellow River carp has a higher protein content, lower fat content, a more delicate taste, and a less fishy smell.
However, Lao Zhu's method is obviously different from what Nan Ming ate before.
The sweet and sour Yellow River carp dish looks simple, but it is difficult to have the color and flavor.
In the wedding banquet in the north, there is often a sweet and sour carp, but if you really get off the chopsticks, you may eat a mouthful of fishy smell, carp is not an easy ingredient to adjust.
The color of the carp in front of Nanming is also slightly different, the sugar coating on the outside, the color is more like white gold, rather than ordinary golden yellow, Nanming first leaned his nose and sniffed, and found that not only did it not smell fishy, but even smelled a faint fragrance, like a flower.
"It's ...... The scent of acacia flowers?" Nan Ming was stunned.
"Children, can you smell it?" Lao Zhu smiled and said: "This dish, I haven't done it recently, and now people are thinking about health, and there are fewer and fewer people who like to eat sugar, especially my practice, there is too much sugar." ”
This is also one of the dilemmas faced by Lu cuisine, as the first of the cuisine, Lu cuisine, heavy oil, heavy material and heavy techniques, the first two are the enemy of health. Oil, salt, and sugar are not good for people, and the latter is even more difficult, almost the most difficult cuisine, but it is not the Sichuan cuisine that is boiled with fish and blood, and it can be made by buying a bunch and cooking it casually, or any small restaurant on the street. For example, one of the most powerful dishes in Lu cuisine is the nine-turn large intestine. It's not a special Lu restaurant, I don't dare to do it, and it's another story to make it delicious and unpalatable.
And such dishes that ordinary people dare not make, there are many dishes in Lu cuisine.
So up to now, it is Sichuan cuisine Yang Wei and Lu cuisine have disappeared, and many dishes can only be seen on very formal tables, and ordinary fly restaurants are just a sweet and sour tenderloin support scene.
Moreover, young people prefer all kinds of foreign fast food, and older people. But it's not very good for oily and sugary things.
But for Nanming, none of this is a problem.
Sweets? That's simply the natal life of Nanming, to some extent, sugar equals energy, and in the beginning, Nanming relied on sweets to maintain its own energy.
Sweet and sour Yellow River carp, Old Man Jiang also helped Nanming do it, but Nanming doesn't like carp. There are too many fish bones, so it has never been able to rank among the top of Nanming's recipes. Later, Old Man Jiang no longer bothered to study this dish.
But here, Nan Ming has a big appetite and his index finger is moving.
Hearing Lao Zhu ask, Nan Ming nodded and said, "Of course!"
Don't look at him like this, he's also a master of food.
Then I took out the chopsticks and couldn't wait to clip them.
Then Nan Ming discovered. The sugar coating on the outside of this sweet and sour carp is also thicker than others, and it has a crystallized feeling, as if it is wrapped in a layer of transparent scales on the outside of the fish.
Take the chopsticks and clip it, a piece of sugar scales and a piece of fish.
The sugar scales are crystal clear. The fish is white and tender.
Nan Ming's saliva was almost unstoppable, so he quickly put it in his mouth and bit it down gently.
Click, this is the crisp sound of the sugar coating, and then the soft fish, the sweet fragrance of the acacia flower and the fresh fragrance of the fish, the combination of soft and hard, that sour and refreshing......
Nanming felt like she was about to melt.
"How?" Seeing Nan Ming's expression, Lao Zhu was very happy, and moved a horse to sit down next to him.
Like Old Man Jiang, Lao Zhu also likes to see the surprised expression when others eat their own food.
But now there are fewer and fewer people who really understand him.
Lao Zhu and Song Changlong have a good relationship, if it weren't for Song Changlong to bring someone here, he wouldn't have cooked in person, anyway, his apprentices, the skills have also been passed on by him, unless they are particularly picky diners, others can't eat the difference.
And these people come and go, really for food, there are really not many, most of them are to borrow such a place from him.
It's rare to find such a place, it's not tacky, it's a bit stylish, and the big bosses from the city, many people really haven't felt this tune.
"When it comes to this fish, it's only 20% worse than the best fish I've ever tasted. Nan Ming nodded, "But with this sweet and sour ...... Hiss ......"
Nan Ming was speechless.
At this moment, the energy bar in the corner of Nanming's eye was gone.
But because of this, all the energy has directly entered the lazy authority, so that Nan Ming can feel the change in the authority even more, and the lazy authority is surging in the body, just like the tide is rising, which can make this lazy guy move, Lao Zhu's sweet and sour carp can already be regarded as arrogant.
Even Old Man Jiang, who doesn't use the pot that Nanming has strengthened, has to bow down.
Nanming didn't expect that he would be able to have this kind of harvest when he came to such a poor and remote place, no wonder the real foodies have to go south and north, looking everywhere to find real food.
Some people, immersed in a kind of food all their lives, eventually become a miracle.
This can be said to be his biggest gain from his trip to Yongxi.
At this time, Nan Ming had already begun to plan how to poach this old Zhu.
In any case, you should also add this sweet and sour Yellow River carp to your lazy private dish.
Hearing Nan Ming say this, Lao Zhu was a little unhappy.
My Lao Zhu's meal is definitely a must. Especially this good dish sweet and sour Yellow River carp, if Lao Song didn't bring you here, you wouldn't want to eat it.
That's it, you still say that the fish is not good enough?
I'm an authentic, freshly caught Yellow River carp out of the water!
But he didn't know how difficult it was to get Nanming's appreciation now.
can make the lazy authority in the body of the South Underworld surge, which means that at least it has passed the "Lazy God Certification".
However, hearing Nan Ming's praise for his sugar, Lao Zhu was a little relieved. This little guy is still knowledgeable.
After a long time, Nanming has not updated his Weibo about food and lazy god certification on his Weibo, but at this time he couldn't help it, took a photo, and posted it on his Weibo.
"It's been a long time. Finally, I met a dish that can pass the Lazy God certification again, but this time it's not in Qingyang, and it's not Uncle Jiang's craftsmanship, where is it? Please forgive me for selling it for the time being, the resources are limited, I have to get ahead of all the foodies, and eat more. ”
As soon as this picture was posted, it immediately caused another round of retweet comments.
Mr. Nan of Lazy God Technology, it is already common sense to be lazy to do it. Although it is famous in the technology circle, in fact, it has already occupied a place in the food and food world.
Nanming has the Lazy God Hall and the Lazy God Private Cuisine, which radiates the high-end market of Qingyang City, Jidong Province and even other surrounding cities, and it is no wonder that the influence is not great.
It's just that the influence of the tech world has affected the whole world, so big that it is perverted, and it just covers up this influence.
But there are still countless foodies who pay attention to Nanming. Reminisce about that legendary era.
As soon as the picture of Nanming was released, it immediately caused countless people to crusade.
Foodies still remember the happy moment when Nanming and Old Man Jiang tried the dishes in a rare ravioli. Later, Old Man Jiang was hidden by Nan Mingxue, and most of these foodies could no longer enjoy it, and they already regarded Nan Ming as a traitor.
At this time, as soon as the pictures and Weibo came out, they were immediately attacked by countless people, shouting that Nanming is not righteous.
"Everyone, let's get a good deal of it, what the hell is this place. We must not let Mr. Nan rob this good place again! Food belongs to the whole world, not just Mr. Nan alone!" Some people shouted on the Internet.
Before, Nanming was their hero, but later Nanming became their traitor, no way. Interests.
Nanming watched them tear up the battle below, hehe smiled, and said in his heart, I am a good person at other times, but if it involves food, I would rather lose the world than let the world bear me, and want to snatch my food, unless I step on my corpse, at this time, please call me the Great Demon King of Nanming!
Lao Zhu really cooked, and this sweet and sour Yellow River carp, and the rest of the meals were obviously made by other chefs.
"Come, try my bacon again. Lao Zhu watched Nanming eat happily and said with a smile.
Nanming slipped another piece, and the entrance suddenly widened again.
The meat is delicate, smooth and elastic, and the best thing about the sweet and sour carp just now is the sugar, but at this time, the best thing is the ingredients.
When this bacon was first marinated, I don't know what ingredients were added, the flavor was very deep and not rushing, and it was a completely different flavor from sweet and sour carp when eaten in the mouth.
He remembered what Song Changlong said just now, all the seasonings used here were picked by Lao Zhu himself from the tree and dried by himself, at this time, he had an idea, and said: "The sugar just now, shouldn't it be that you boiled it yourself!"
Lao Zhu laughed, this kid really has a hand, and he can guess it.
He nodded and said: "I have a few acres of land, planted sugarcane, every year I boil sugar by myself, and then make rock candy by myself, and I also raise a few boxes of bees in the backyard, and when I dissolve the hanging syrup, I will add some honey, and it will become the kind of sugar coating just now." ”
"Old Zhu Zushang is a sugar maker, we have a saying here, called sugar Zhu Li Li, at the beginning of the last century, these two monopolized our sugar and spice business here. Song Changlong said, he is responsible for attracting investment, and he is about the history of Jinshan County.
"Actually, my grandmother's surname is Li, which is a side branch of the Li family. Lao Zhu said with a smile.
Nanming opened his mouth wide, this can be regarded as the head of the Bo family?
I don't know if there was a performance of Romeo and Juliet's love story back then.
When I think of the Republic of China, traditional businessmen have endured all kinds of shocks, a man and a woman break through the barriers of the family, both fall in love, and then commit suicide...... Wait, this latter paragraph is definitely not right, otherwise how can there be Lao Zhu's father?
Nan Ming thought about it, but the chopsticks didn't stop at all, and when he reacted, he found that half of the sweet and sour carp had been eaten by him, and those dishes of cured meat were also a lot less.
However, whether it was Xiang Guoliang or Wei Rong, they had not moved their chopsticks at this time.
Song Changlong originally wanted to move the chopsticks, but when he saw that Xiang Guoliang and the others didn't move, he naturally didn't dare to move.
Song Changlong felt very strange just now, on the surface, it seemed that Xiang Guoliang was in charge, but he found that this team seemed to be headed by Nan Ming.
And now, he did confirm it.
Nan Ming didn't say anything to move the chopsticks, both of them sat upright, only looking with their eyes, and they didn't dare to make a mistake at all.
"Quick, you eat too. Nan Ming scratched his head embarrassedly and said hurriedly.
He was hungry, these two were also hungry, and as for Song Changlong, maybe he was having lunch, so he was dragged out.
"Then let's get rid of the light today, and also taste Lao Zhu's craftsmanship, I haven't eaten Lao Zhu's sweet and sour Yellow River carp for many years. Song Changlong said.
That being said, several people are very restrained with their chopsticks, and they all see that Nanming is eating happily, where do they dare to let go of eating?
"Brother Zhu, what else do you have to eat here? Nan Ming also knew that Song Changlong had seen something, but it was estimated that he couldn't even think that there was another Nan Ming here, so he simply didn't hide it and asked Lao Zhu Dao.
was called an elder brother by Nanming, Lao Zhu couldn't cry or laugh, this kid, a little kid, not much older than his grandson, actually called him elder brother.
But I don't know why, Lao Zhu didn't get angry, he just felt that Nanming was likable, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat enough, I'll ask someone to stew you a pork ribs, which is also my signature dish here." I've got a great pickled dish here, so I'll serve you one?"
"Up, up, up!" Nanming waved his hand.
Lao Zhu knows, but if Song Changlong brings it, there is no shortage of money, what is it to eat some food?
Today, the people of the county government have packed the bread room, which has caused him to lose a lot of business, but fortunately, there is a generous Nanming here.
Song Changlong knocked on the side next to him, and asked Xiang Guoliang what he was doing.
It was Xiang Guoliang who asked, but his eyes were looking at Nanming.
Xiang Guoliang was able to cope with it at first, but then he couldn't cope with it.
Nan Ming smiled and replied for Xiang Guoliang: "Brother Xiang is engaged in the transportation industry. ”
"Logistics? This has a future. Song Changlong nodded again and again, and then sighed: "It's a pity, our transportation here is not very developed, so the price is also high, and the income is low, so it's ...... comparison."
As he spoke, Nanming's cell phone rang.
The call was made by Su Wenjie.
Su Wenjie first asked how the situation was in Nanming, with Song Changlong here, it was inconvenient for Nanming to say more, and said, "I'll talk about this later, is there anything else to call me?"
If it's not important, let Xiaobai tell you.
"That's the case, Redface's business is in trouble, Red Qingyang wants to sell, I'm thinking, should we buy it?"
Red.Qingyang?(To be continued......)
