Chapter 58: Dinner
ps: I fell asleep last night, and I made it up today, and there will be a change in the evening.
This Sanjiang sea stew was inadvertently known by Zeng Gong when he was in college, although there was some unpleasantness in it, but it was over, Zeng Gong restrained his feelings and began to tell about this Sanjiang sea stew.
"This Sanjiang sea stew is made with three kinds of vegetables, lettuce, camellia and artemisia, supplemented by Yangtze River saury, Xingkai Lake white fish, and Yellow River carp, and then added 22 kinds of seafood to cook. In addition, I also added the whitebait that we just brought back from the sea of flowers. Zeng Gong said with a smile.
Zeng Gong has put a lot of effort into cooking this time, the Yangtze River saury, Xingkai Lake white fish and Yellow River carp can't be bought in the United States, this is Zeng Gong specially asked Liu Tao to help him airlift over, originally wanted to make fish fry and raise them in his own pasture, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today, although he was a little suspicious of exhausting and fishing, but the beauty couldn't take care of it a lot in front of him.
"Well, it smells so good. Elena said with her eyes slightly closed, a little intoxicated.
"Hehe, it tastes more delicious. The beauty was praised for the fruits of her labor in front of her, Zeng Gong's heart was still full of pride, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
"Aren't there a lot of thorns?" said Elena with some hesitation.
Lao Mei has always been respectful of fish with many spines, otherwise there would not have been an Asian carp fish disaster from time to time, and it would have already entered the mouths and stomachs of gourmets.
I think Bush Jr. should issue temporary green cards to Chinese, and even the plane or ferry tickets to the United States should be reimbursed, and when they arrive in the United States, they don't have to do anything, just live by the river, do it themselves, have enough food and clothing, I estimate that in less than three years, what Asian carp flooding is not the same as listening to mythological stories?
"Of course, there are a lot of spines, especially the saury now, and there are even more bones, which is the season when the saury has the most bones. Zeng Gong joked about Elena.
"Ah, what you said is true?" Elena almost drooled as she watched the three rivers and seas, but now she could only sigh with admiration, obviously the delicious food was close at hand, but she couldn't enjoy it, this is the biggest pain in life, and the depression for foodies can be imagined.
"It's true, but the spines of the saury have melted into the dish, which is the key to making the zuò dish, and I added a special spice to make it happen. Zeng Gong's words turned around, and the smile on the corner of his mouth contained countless meanings.
"Scared me to death, Zeng, do you know what a terrible thing it is to not be able to enjoy the food?"
Zeng Gong looked at the towering snow peak of Elena with difficulty, swallowed the liquid, and said with a little calmness: "I will find all kinds of ingredients and make them myself." ”
"Is that pretty?" said Elena with a smile, looking at Zeng Gong with bright eyes, and standing up her pride as if demonstrating.
Zeng Gong froze and said sternly, "Elena, do you know that you are playing with fire?"
"Giggles, you Chinese men are so cute. Elena seemed to have figured out Zeng Gong's temperament, and sat in the chair trembling and laughing unscrupulously.
"Let's eat, eat. Zeng Gong was immediately defeated, quickly took a spoon for Elena, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said a little restlessly.
"But you haven't introduced the last soup yet?" Elena felt that Zeng Gong was very cute at this time, and she didn't let him go at all, pointing to the soup on the table, shaking her eyebrows mischievously, and her starry eyes were full of bright light, and she said coquettishly.
Zeng Gong replied helplessly: "The name of this soup is a bit earthy, but it is a soup that is particularly widely spread in our hometown, especially in northern China, it is called pimple soup, and the method is also very simple, mix egg white and flour into a slightly hard dough, knead well, roll it into thin slices, cut it into cubes the size of soybean grains, sprinkle in a little flour, and knead it into small balls. Cut the shrimp into small slices, mince the coriander, mince the spinach and set aside, pour the stock into the pot, add the shrimp, monosodium glutamate, refined salt, and then put in the pimple when it boils.
Cook, pour in the egg yolk, add the chopped coriander, minced spinach, drip in sesame oil, and it is ready to go. ”
"Oh my God, it's too complicated, I don't know how it tastes?" Elena Yu held her forehead, really couldn't understand that the food made by Chinese was so troublesome.
Zeng Gong himself doesn't think it's like this, and every time he invites Lao Mei in the ranch to eat, he always complains that the practice of Chinese food is too complicated, even Diana, who is keen on food, is like this, every time he looks at Zeng Gong, he always has a bitter face.
In fact, this can not complain about the beauty of the people, what kind of food culture can be produced by the history of more than 300 years, even in the popular fast food culture in the world, it is not accepted by senior gourmets, and the cooking method is too simple, mainly fried or roasted, where is comparable to the rich Chinese cooking techniques, stir-frying, frying, cooking, slipping, frying, pasting, stewing, grilling, roasting, stewing, stewing, boiling, boiling, sauce, marinating, steaming, roasting, mixing, boiling, smoking, and beet drawing, honey, Hanging frost and so on, this is just a common method used by chefs, and some unique techniques are even more brilliant and countless.
"I promise you won't be disappointed. Zeng Gong suddenly had a sense of superiority in the Heavenly Empire, and said with a smile.
・・・・・・
"Zeng, it's all your fault, it looks like my weight loss plan is on the agenda again. Looking at the mess of cups and plates on the table, Elena suddenly became distressed again, and frowned and complained to Zeng Gong.
"Your figure is already very good, you don't need to lose weight at all?" Zeng Gong looked at Elena's hot figure and had the urge to hit the wall, why are girls keen on losing weight, and they always feel that they can be thinner.
In China, Zeng Gong has heard many examples of girls who go on a diet for the love of beauty and faint from hunger, and at home from his aunt has set off a weight loss method of not eating at night, and he has lost a few kilograms in a few months, but Zeng Gong still can't understand, so he pursues the principle of 'people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry'.
"Really?" Elena looked at Zeng Gong with bright eyes and a hot look, as if she was going to melt him.
"It doesn't matter if you eat one meal, and none of the dishes I cook are particularly calorie-high. Zeng Gong was a little afraid to look at Elena, and responded weakly.
"Whew. Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "It's wonderful, you know, it scared the hell out of me, and it would be terrible if I was bloated all of a sudden because of the food." ”
"Elena, in fact, your worries are completely unnecessary, in China, only Lu cuisine is made with high-fat things, and other cuisines are not as greasy as imagined, not to mention that beef and mutton dominate the American recipe, no matter how Chinese food is not as greasy as yours." Zeng Gong retorted with a smile.
Elena nodded subconsciously, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember.
"Zeng, I heard a friend say that you have a dish in China, even Mr. Phil Jackson will jump over the wall when he smells it, can you teach me?" Elena suddenly remembered something and said to Zeng Gong with a little excitement.
"That's called Buddha jumping over the wall, in China, there is a scholar who ate this dish and suddenly the poem said a sentence 'the altar opens the meat incense floating in the neighborhood, the Buddha hears the abandonment of Zen and jumps over the wall', so it got its name, in ancient times monks were not allowed to eat meat, that would damage their practice. Zeng Gong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and patiently explained to her.
"Yes, yes, this is the dish, my grandfather has been obsessed with it since he ate it in China, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to taste it again, can you teach me? I don't think you will refuse a friend's request." Elena nodded excitedly when she heard this, and then pleaded with some pity.
"Teach you?" Looking at Elena's appearance, Zeng Gong felt Alexander, so he had to helplessly point to the pot of pimple soup on the table just now, and said earnestly, "Elena, what do you think of the taste of pimple soup?"
"Well, it's delicious, I didn't expect wheat flour to make such a delicious food, but unfortunately the method of making zuò is too complicated, and I don't have the confidence to learn it. Elena shook her head with some distress, making pimple soup was too difficult for her, and she really couldn't imagine how the Chinese came up with it.
"But the Buddha jumping over the wall that you want to learn is at least a hundred times more difficult than this, it takes two or three days to prepare the ingredients and make them, Elena, are you sure you want to learn it, and it requires more than 30 kinds of ingredients, such as sea cucumbers, dried scallops, abalone, fish lips, shark fins are all very precious ingredients, and it is not so easy to get them in China. Zeng Gong solemnly reminded.
"Oh God. Elena covered her small mouth and looked at Zeng Gong with some horror, the so-called Buddha jumping over the wall was simply beyond her imagination, and her eyes couldn't help but have a deep sense of disappointment.
"Alas, forget it, when do you want to eat and talk to me, how about I make it for you?" Zeng Gong couldn't stand Elena's disappointed appearance the most, spread his hands, and said helplessly.
"Really. Elena's eyes suddenly lit up, her pretty face flashed with excitement, and she suddenly forgot her original intention.
"Really. Zeng Gong nodded solemnly.
