Chapter 168: The Mysterious Gourmet (1)

Li Ran took Bismarck's hand and merged into the crowd of people on Qiyun South Street, and then he had the feeling of returning to the earth and shopping in some food, but the buildings on both sides were not those western-style buildings with modern decoration, and there were not so many cars honking indiscriminately.

The shouts of the vendors and the chatter of the crowd are all classical buildings, and there are many places similar to ancient Chinese architecture, but there are many ornaments that are very different from ancient Chinese buildings.

Li Ran took Bismarck with him, which naturally aroused the envy of many people, and those men couldn't help but be a little jealous when they looked at the female companions around them.

Although Qiyun City is close to Qiyun Port, there are many ship girls who come and go, but many admirals are proud of their identities, and generally do not walk in the downtown like Li Ran, in the eyes of the admirals of this world, they have an inexplicable sense of superiority from the moment they become admirals.

And Li Ran is different, he is a traverser, and he has been in the Marine Corps, knowing that only among the people can you feel a purer life, not mixing high-end hotels and going out of luxury restaurants can mean that you have a high standard of living, many people are actually just driven by fame and fortune and go with the flow, Li Ran thinks that he is not much great to be a commander, so in his opinion, it is a common thing to take his shipwreck to go shopping.

And this seemingly insignificant little thing, Li Ran never dreamed of, became a topic that he would be talked about by ordinary people in the future.

To get back to the point, Li Ran took Bismarck and lingered in front of various stalls but did not stop, and at this time he and Bismarck stood in front of the very popular Qiyun shrimp cake stall, Li Ran took a fancy to this small stall because this stall was hung with the flag of a century-old brand, he felt the need to try it, such a big snack, and so popular, there should be no bragging.

Li Ran was born in a family of chefs, he would go to various places to eat whenever he had the opportunity, but he didn't have so many opportunities in the year after he became a soldier, and now he finally has the opportunity to learn new cuisine.

As a chef, Li Ran has always kept in mind the family motto, that is, no matter where you go to eat, even if it is just a bowl of chaos on the street, even if it is a dough cake on a stall, you must think about the advantages and disadvantages of this food, so he tasted the Xia Guoqiyun shrimp cake he just bought, which is the most authentic snack in Qiyungang.

After all, Qiyun City is close to Qiyungang, as a harbor city, there is no shortage of seafood, and many seafood are very cheap here, and because the level of industrialization is not high, unlike when Li Ran was on the earth, most of the seafood he ate was artificially cultivated, and it tasted a little less wild umami.

Li Ran bit the Xia Guoqiyun shrimp cake in his hand, and felt that the meat of this Qiyun shrimp was very tender, and under the wrapping of the special dough cake, it greatly retained the flavor of the whole shrimp, and the mouth was full of shrimp umami, as well as a faint sweetness, he didn't feel it at all, he turned his head and asked Bismarck:

"How's that, is this scare cake delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious, but it always feels a little light. ”

"Well, you also tasted it, and it did this to scare the cake, so that the taste of the Qiyun shrimp was preserved, but unfortunately, they didn't have vinegar, otherwise the taste of the shrimp cake might be better. ”

"This little brother, I don't know what the vinegar you are talking about?"

Li Ran and Bismarck were standing at the shrimp cake stall eating, then discussing, and were about to leave the stall, but they heard the owner of the stall squeeze through the crowd and ran to him to ask.

The customers were a little stunned, seeing that the boss was not doing business, and looked at Li Ran and Bismarck curiously.

Li Ran looked at the boss of Qiyun who was blocking him, Bismarck suddenly became nervous, Li Ran patted Bismarck's shoulder, signaled that she didn't need to be too nervous, and then asked:

"That, uncle, don't you have vinegar here?"

"No, we have oyster sauce and soy sauce here, but what is this vinegar?"

"Well, it's a sour condiment. ”

"Sour condiments?" The shrimp cake stall owner frowned, and then he heard Li Ran say:

"Uncle, the light taste of the cake can indeed retain the fresh flavor of Qiyun shrimp, and the dough cake is also delicious, but if you pursue the umami too much and ignore the addition of condiments to the food, it is inevitable that you will be a little sacrificial. ”

After speaking, Li Ran looked at the stall owner and fell into deep thought, and said to the people in front of him:

"Let's go. ”

Then, Li Ran led Bismarck and squeezed out the crowd of onlookers.

When the stall owner reacted, he couldn't help but pause a little when he saw that Li Ran and Bismarck were gone, but seeing that the customers in front of his stall had complained, it was a pity that he was not in the mood today, and Li Ran's words simply made him wake up.

"Boss, you can't do this business yet. ”

"I'm sorry guys, I'm going to close the stall today, and it's going to be early tomorrow. ”

"I said boss, you're really weird, that kid just said nonsense, do you believe it?"

"Do you know how to cook? Do you know how much that sentence is worth just now? Do you see my stall, the flag on it, do you see it, it was awarded to my grandfather by the Xia Kingdom Royal Family Cooking Selection Hall, do you know how heavy the words that the young man said just now? I can tell you, young man, even the officials of the Royal Culinary Selection Hall are here, and they don't dare to say that, because they can't say it, they won't tell you, you guys who don't work hard and don't distinguish between grains and grains, you guys are gone, and I won't sell this scare cake today. ”

As he spoke, the old man directly put away the remaining shrimp cakes, and then said:

"Please disperse. ”

The young man still felt that he was reasonable, but he found that everyone was subconsciously half a step away from him, and he heard the crowd talking:

"This kid is really eye-opening, and he dares to speak out in front of this century-old flag stall. ”

"If you want me to say, it's jealousy of the little brother just now, you look at the little brother just now, people eat scare cakes, you can tell the advantages of scare cakes, by the way, have you heard of vinegar, this is really a fresh condiment, I just don't know where to buy it." ”

The young man left the Qiyun scare cake stall in a gloomy manner, and this seemingly insignificant little thing spread throughout Qiyun South Street in a short time.

Li Ran never thought that the small stall he parked would actually be the oldest imperial snack stall on Qiyun South Street, no one, dating back to more than a hundred years ago, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom loved to eat scare cakes, but unfortunately he searched all over the world and never found his favorite taste, until the owner of the Qiyun shrimp cake stall just now boldly tried to use Qiyun prawns, steamed and cooked whole, without adding extra seasoning, but unexpectedly made the emperor like it.

In fact, everyone doesn't know that the emperor actually just likes light seafood, and because he was promulgated the centennial flag of the royal culinary selection hall, the old man just now never thought that there would be a problem with the shrimp cakes he made, until Li Ran said that the shrimp cakes were delicious and delicious, but when the taste was too light, he finally understood, no wonder his family had a century-old flag, but it had not been able to make it bigger, and the problem appeared here.

"No, I have to ask what the vinegar that little brother is talking about?"

At the same time, Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief:

"Whew, it's finally squeezed out. ”

"Admiral, what you just said feels so profound. ”

"It's not profound, I think you can feel it if you eat shrimp cakes, it's too bland, although it's delicious, but it's also very bland, and because the bread itself doesn't have much flavor, not even sesame seeds, seriously, the shrimp cake just now can only score a seven, it seems that we can't believe too much in the name of the century-old store, let's go to the remote streets and alleys, maybe we will find some surprises." ”

"Admiral, can you teach me how to cook, I feel that it is a very happy thing to let those people taste food. ”

Bismarck said, in fact, he still wanted to add:

Actually, I want to cook for the Admiral.

"You want to learn to cook?" Li Ran frowned, and then felt that it was nothing, after all, although the game didn't say whether Bismarck could cook, he thought about it:

"Well, but before we learn to cook, we start by knowing how to eat. ”

"Eat?" Bismarck looked puzzled, looked at Li Ran with a mysterious face, and was suspicious.

"Well, you can eat, from the snacks that ordinary people eat, to understand life, to experience food, and then you can understand what cooking is, talk while walking, cooking is not a simple thing. ”

"Hmm. ”
