Liu Mang and Li Ruonan discuss the differences between Chinese cuisine and Dongying cuisine in the private room, while Village House Erxiong is furious in the restaurant's kitchen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You can't do that! these dishes can't interest that Chinese kid at all!"

"But President, we've done our best!" Higashino Hachiro buried his head deeply.

"Why don't you just tell him and use the competition to decide the ownership of the recipe?"

"Baga, are you stupid? If that's the case, he'll think we've got a conspiracy waiting for him, and he'll be fooled?

"There's a conspiracy. Higashino Hachiro felt very aggrieved: "Then what do you say you should do?"

"What are you going to do next?" asked Muraya Futako after thinking for a moment.

"The next dish is 'yakiniku', and the ingredient is Wagyu beef. Jiro Ida replied respectfully.

"In this way, if you change the next dish to a pufferfish, you must wave your highest level, so as to attract the attention of that Chinese, please!"

"Hey......!" all three bowed at the same time.

……

"Liu Mang, you said that Chinese cuisine and Dongying cuisine, apart from the difference in practice, what are the differences?"

"Well, and in terms of the ritual of eating, Dongying cuisine is better than Chinese food. Liu Mang thought for a while and said.

"Boss, I don't agree with this, there are many rituals on the Chinese table, my dad taught me since I was a child, chopsticks can't be inserted in the bowl when eating, and juniors can't eat first before the elders don't move the chopsticks, aren't these all rituals?"

"You're talking about etiquette, not rituals. The difference here is that Chinese cuisine uses a combined meal system, while Dongying cuisine uses a separate meal system. ”

"This has nothing to do with the ceremony, haven't the Chinese eaten like this since ancient times? Everyone is in a bowl to pick up vegetables, so it looks lively." ”

"You're wrong again, the split meal system of Dongying cuisine is also from China. Before the Song Dynasty, the Chinese also had a separate meal system, but after the Dongying people learned the past, they have always maintained it. ”

"What's the downside of a shared meal? I feel pretty good. ”

"The biggest disadvantage of the shared meal system is that it spoils the taste of the food. Didn't you notice? Today's kaiseki dishes are served one by one, and the amount of food is very small, and after eating, one dish is served. ”

"Does this have anything to do with the taste of the dishes?" Li Ruonan also asked strangely.

"Of course, it matters, Chinese eat on a large table of dishes, diners eat spicy first, and then eat sweet, two different flavors mixed together, naturally spoiling the taste of the dish"

"I never thought about that. Li Ruonan suddenly realized.

In addition, if the dishes are served one by one, the chef can pre-design the order of the dishes, so that the diners can eat with a sense of ritual step by step. Just like Western food, it starts with an appetizer, then a soup, then a main course, and finally a dessert. ”

"So that's the case, but it's hard to change this situation, after all, the Chinese have already formed their habits." ”

"Not really, there is actually an order in which Chinese dishes are served, for example, cold cuts are served first, then the main course, then the soup, and the fruit and main food are used to finish the meal. But because it was a shared meal, the interval between the dishes was very short, and before one dish was finished, another dish came up. The end result is that there is a large table of dishes on the table, and the taste is naturally mixed. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Li Ruonan and Wuyan nodded again and again.

"I'm sorry! I've kept you waiting!" while the three of them were chatting energetically, Muraya Futako returned.

The maid behind him also walked in, half-kneeling on the ground, and brought the dish in her hand to the table.

In the white porcelain plate, the extremely thin fish fillets are crystal clear, like cicada wings, arranged like a crane with wings spreading.

"Liu Mangjun, please try our unique tiger dolphin!"

"The main event is finally here. A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Mang's mouth.

In fact, he had already vaguely guessed what the village house wanted to do early on.

When I first came, Li Ruonan's analysis was very correct. This village house Erxiong didn't plan to exchange recipes at all, he did so much foreshadowing just to arouse Liu Mang's competitive spirit, and use gambling to get Liu Mang's method of cooking puffer fish.

So Liu Mang made a plan, and while breaking the trick with his strength, he also tricked him fiercely.

Although I don't know why Muraya Jio has such great confidence. But Liu Mangyi is bold, as long as he can be fair, he doesn't mind taking a gamble.

"Okay, then I'll try it. Liu Mang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork meat from the plate, and prepared to dip it in the mustard in the small bowl.

"Wait! Liu Mangjun!" Muraya Jio stopped with a loud voice.

"What's wrong?"

"I suggest that when you taste the tiger dolphin, don't dip it in any condiments, try the original flavor first, so that you can feel the natural sweetness of the tiger dolphin meat. ”

"Oh, okay. Liu Mang nodded and put the puffer fish fillet directly into his mouth.

In the mouth, after a moment of coolness, the temperature in the mouth gradually pushes the mellow texture of the puffer fish meat to the whole mouth and spreads outward.

This wonderful taste made Liu Mang gently close his eyes and calm down to savor it.

He seemed to feel that the frozen puffer fish was swimming happily in his mouth, and at this moment it seemed to be reborn.

"The taste is not right, how did these Dongying people do it?" Liu Mang was inexplicably surprised.

He has cooked a lot of puffer fish during this time, whether it is stewed, boiled, steamed, braised or fried, he has tried it all.

Liu Mang has made puffer fish into a very traditional fish belly, but when he eats it, he definitely does not have this evocative taste, is it because of the puffer fish meat itself?

"It's still not right!" Liu Mang picked up another piece of pork meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.

The puffer fish fillet has a slight cooling feeling, and it is this coolness that makes the fish fillet even sweeter.

In Liu Mang's view, this kind of coolness is definitely not the effect of slaughtering and slicing the puffer fish and chilling it with crushed ice, but it seems to be innate, the same as that of the puffer fish itself.

"Is it because the puffer fish is frozen and then slaughtered? No, if so, then no matter how you handle the fillet, you will lose that umami, and you won't be able to do it so harmoniously. ”

Liu Mang's super sense of taste can recognize all the subtle tastes of this puffer fish meat, but he can't think of how to do it even if he wants to break his head.

"How is it? Liu Mangjun, are you still satisfied with this puffer fish sashimi?"

Seeing Liu Mang eating the fish fillet, he frowned, thinking hard, and the corners of the village house Erxiong's mouth showed a hint of joy.

Liu Mang was silent, and once again picked up a piece of pork meat and gave it to people's mouths, but still didn't find the answer.

"Haha! Liu Mangjun, look at this again!"

Muraya Erxiong took a clay pot from Hachiro Yamano and handed it to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang approached the clay pot and couldn't help but exclaim: "This... How is this possible!?"
