Chapter 170: The Mysterious Gourmets (3)

When Bismarck came back from cooking, Li Ran watched Bismarck eat with a soup spoon, he always felt a little awkward, this restaurant didn't have chopsticks, so strange. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

So, he thought about it and called Xiao Er and said:

"Dude, don't you have chopsticks here?"

"What are chopsticks?" Xiao Er looked dazed.

"It's okay, you go get busy. Li Ran frowned, the people in this restaurant all eat with spoons, it is really awkward, although he knows that there are no chopsticks in this world in the port area, but eating outside, especially many foods in Xia Guo are similar to those in Huaxia, but it always feels a little strange without chopsticks, he suddenly flashed a golden idea to make a fortune in his heart, and then took a bite of rice and said to Bismarck:

"Did you think that the wood in Minato Ward could be used to make cutlery?"

"Yes, those goblins in our port area helped us make some tableware, including the chopsticks that Pinghai said. ”

"I said, why did the port area suddenly have chopsticks used, it turned out to be Pinghai. ”

"Well, but what are you asking for?"

"Keep it secret for the time being, when we will meet in the port area, I will tell you again, let's eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Ran looked at the plate of fried pork with green beans, tasted it, and asked Bismarck:

"How's it taste?"

"Well, it's still a little light. ”

"Well, it's not salty enough, I think it might have something to do with the eating habits of Qiyun City?"

"Admiral, how do you know?"

"Intuition, as a chef's sensitive intuition, in fact, this is also an important skill to learn cooking, follow the local customs, each place has different eating habits, some places like sweet, some places like salty, some places like light, some places like spicy.

As a chef, if you want to make food that customers like, you need to fully understand the customer's eating habits and improve and innovate, and in this process, the chef will enjoy the delicious food to the diner, which is the most attractive part of cooking. ”

"I see. Bismarck nodded as if she didn't understand, she originally secretly smacked her tongue in her heart that the dishes made by prestige were too unpalatable, but when she heard Li Ran say this, she realized that cooking was not a simple matter.

"Well, try this, braised pork, this dish is the most test of the chef's skills, I have also made it in Minato, you can also try it, and then help me evaluate whether I make it delicious or this restaurant is delicious." ”

"Hmm. Bismarck nodded, then scooped a spoonful of meat and put it in her mouth, as a ship lady of country G, her eating habits naturally favored Germans, especially pork, she felt that this braised pork was delicious, but then she frowned:

"Admiral, this braised pork is delicious, but I don't think the pork is as good as the wild boar meat we use in the port area. ”

"Is it?" Li Ran heard Bismarck say this, and he also ate a piece, and then muttered for a while and said:

"The only disadvantage of this dish is the selection of pork, which is the same as the disadvantage of the fried pork with green beans just now. ”

Bismarck listened to Li Ran say this, and tasted the fried pork with green beans just now with some curiosity, and then found that it was really, when she was on Dawn Island, as long as she ate meat, it was wild boar, and after eating wild boar for a long time, she could obviously taste the gap, wild boar meat is more chewy and tender, and the pork in these two dishes is obviously not as good as wild boar, she said suspiciously:

"Admiral, when you say that, I'm really different. ”

"Well, the difference is huge, that's what I'm going to say, some of the things you need to pay attention to in cooking, that is, the selection of ingredients, good ingredients can often add a lot of points to a dish. ”

"Well, what does the Admiral mean is that you can make top-notch dishes with good ingredients?"

"No, you can't say that, in fact, the quality of the ingredients will make a significant difference in the hands of the chef. ”

"The Admiral wants to say he's a chef. ”

"Haha, I'm a chef, but I have to say that this restaurant can do this to this extent, which shows that this restaurant lives up to its reputation. ”

"Be humble. Bismarck was a little helpless.

"Okay, let's continue to taste, there are two dishes left, this should be a sweet potato, as a sweet, sweet but not greasy, the taste is not bad, but the sugar is not maltose, and the degree of silk pulling is not enough. ”

Li Ran said, every time he eats a dish, he will make an evaluation:

"No, um, it tastes sweet and sour, but it doesn't look like vinegar, well, it's slightly fruity. ”

Bismarck was just acting as a listener, and she noticed that when Li Ran talked about these delicacies, his eyes were bright, revealing an emotion called love.

It is said that women like men who are focused, and Bismarck was particularly charming when she watched the Admiral's focused evaluation of the quality of these dishes at this time, and she couldn't help but flash a touch of tenderness in her eyes.

Li Ran suddenly found that he seemed to be rambling, he quickly stopped and didn't say anything, and then looked at Bismarck looking at himself in a daze, he was a little strange, and touched the corner of his mouth:

"Is there something on my face?"

"Nope. Bismarck's face flashed with a hint of panic, and she regained her composure.

Li Ran watched Bismarck bury his head in eating, and knew that he might be verbose, so he also buried his head in eating.

When he finished eating and drinking the soup, Li Ran felt that this seafood and fish soup could be said to be the most satisfying, whether it was the freshness of the seafood or the taste of the soup, it could be said that Li Ran couldn't find much fault at all.

Bismarck looked at Li Ran just drinking soup and didn't make an evaluation, which was a little strange:

"Admiral, don't you comment on this fish soup?"

"Four words, delicious, delicious. ”

Li Ran was concise and to the point, which made Bismarck a little surprised, it was the first time she saw Li Ran so satisfied with a delicacy, and after a few sips, she found that sure enough, whether it was the taste of the seafood fish or the taste of the soup, it was impeccable.

Li Ran looked at Bismarck with a satisfied expression, and then said:

"This shop really lives up to its name, it's full, let's check out. ”

Saying that, Li Ran took Bismarck downstairs to settle the bill, and then when he was about to go out, he found that after eating, Master Lin and the old man were still chatting at the table at the door, he settled the account, and then walked to the old man and asked:

"Uncle, why did you close your stall so early today? Didn't I see a lot of people in your stall just now?"

Master Lin was talking to Li Lao, and when he saw Li Ran, he thought he didn't know about Li Lao, and explained:

"Little brother doesn't know, Li Lao met a master when he was setting up a stall today. ”

"Little brother?" Li Lao turned around, then looked at Li Ran, he was stunned for a moment, and then said to Master Lin excitedly:

"Lao Lin, this little brother is that master. ”

Li Ran was stunned, ha, when did he become a master?

"Old Li, don't you want to say that this little brother is the one who explains the advantages and disadvantages of your ancestral shrimp cakes? Don't be kidding, this little brother looks so young. ”

"Lao Lin, I won't joke with the craftsmanship of my ancestors, little brother, my old bones have lived for most of my life, and I am ashamed that you have not seen it thoroughly. ”

Li Lao stood up, and then he was about to give Li Ran a big salute, Li Ran held it up, and hurriedly said:

"Uncle, don't break my life, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

As the inheritor of traditional snacks, Li Lao knew that a special recipe for each condiment was kept secret, so he was a little embarrassed to say:

"Little brother, what is the vinegar you just said, I have really lived for most of my life in vain, and I have never heard of this kind of condiment. ”

"That's right, little brother, I just heard Li Lao talk about the vinegar you talked about, is it so magical? I don't mean anything else, if it's the ancestral recipe of the little brother, we won't ask more, we all know the rules of this line." ”

When Master Lin saw that Li Ran didn't speak, he thought that vinegar was Li Ran's ancestral secret recipe, and hurriedly apologized.

"No, this vinegar is not a rare thing, so let's do Master Lin have a pen and paper? I will contribute to the manufacturing process of this vinegar, but you two must promise me that in the future, no one is allowed to possess the recipe of this vinegar privately, but to popularize it for the benefit of all." ”

"Well, Lao Lin and I can initiate a joint book in the name of the Centennial Flag, as long as the little brother makes the vinegar recipe public, we will immediately jointly ask the Xia Kingdom Royal Family Cooking Selection Hall to print the vinegar recipe to the whole Xia Kingdom. ”

"Since everyone says so, I believe both of you. ”

Li Ran thought about it, came up with the recipe of the vinegar that was more commonly consumed, and then said:

"The recipe is roughly these, that is, some of the details of brewing need to be further explored, this recipe is also relatively common, in the future, I believe that some people are better than me, and they will definitely be able to blend better vinegar. ”

"Thank you, little brother, for your generosity. Master Lin and Elder Li couldn't help but join forces to give Li Ran a big gift, which made all the diners almost stare out of their eyes.

It just so happened that Wang Xuan, the master of condiments who had just returned to Hong Kong today, happened to arrive in the alley of the Lin family's restaurant, and as soon as he walked in, he saw Li Lao, who usually had a strange temper, and Master Lin, who had always been proud, saluting a young man, he squeezed through the crowd and asked:

"What's going on? What are you two?"

"Master Wang, you came just in time, this is the name of a condiment that has never appeared in this little brother, you can tell us all about it, we can't understand this recipe, but I don't think there will be anything wrong. Li Lao admired Li Ran's ability to reveal the mystery of his own shrimp cakes at a glance, so he handed the recipe to Wang Xuan.
