Chapter 1072: Tonghua Salt Crystal
From the outside, the round eggplant giant tree with a bright apple red appearance looks like three large cherries, hanging on the tall giant paulownia tree, which is very beautiful.
Mrs. Liu Huameiyin arranged the three rooms of the round eggplant giant wood fruit into a dream girl's house full of various pinks.
Although the room is not big, it does not seem empty for an old lady who lives alone.
The windows in the living room overlook the sea. Sitting on the wrought iron tea table by the window, looking at the endless sea in the distance, my heart suddenly brightened.
The living room is connected to two other rooms, one of which is a 10-square-meter kitchen. Unlike Jiang Hua's well-equipped kitchen, although Mrs. Liu Huameiyin is very fat, she obviously spends not much time making food, only the simplest kitchen utensils.
However, you can see some ready-made snacks everywhere.
The other room was the old lady's bedroom, and Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua thought that this was her more private space, so they didn't go in to look.
The Giant Wood Forest Lodge is highly flexible, allowing you to increase or decrease the number of rooms as you wish.
In Liu Huameiyin's house, the traces of Xenodu Company are very obvious, but there are still some modern essential household appliances.
At present, there is no electricity introduced to the mangrove island of Xenodu Company, and all the electrical appliances of Liu Huameiyin are powered by electric lotus seeds.
"Little ones, I know you have an amazing amount of food, and I don't think I can afford to support you here. Liu Huameiyin took off an apron with pretty lace from the wall and said with a smile, "So, I can only ask you to taste your favorite food recently, and there is a cute little gift for you." ”
Liu Huameiyin doesn't look at the round body, but she walks very flexibly, and in less than twenty minutes, she brought out two large porcelain plates, and the food placed on the white plate is very simple, just a piece of freshly fried steak meat.
The steak meat is bigger than Lin Zeng's palm, and ordinary people have a belly together, which is enough to fill and fill. But for Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua, the two big stomachs, it is indeed a bit insufficient.
The fat on the beef is still sizzling, the aroma of the meat wafts out, and it looks good.
According to Lin's experience of frying Miss Lanny I don't know how many times, Liu Hua Meiyin's cooking is a little too hot. The flavor of the beef is not tender enough, and the texture is slightly inferior.
However, Lin Zeng will not say it directly, no matter how he says it, it is the old man's heart.
"Okay, okay, please ignore the somewhat burnt corners and let's focus on the real protagonist today. The old lady winked at Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua, the cute chubby old lady was just an old child, and she actually looked quite cute.
She suddenly pulled out a small glass bottle from behind her back and said, "Guess what, what is this?"
Before Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua could answer her question, the old lady glanced at the steak meat, hurriedly unscrewed the cap, and said, "Oh, it's too late, forget it, look at me." ”
She carefully shook out a transparent pale gold crystal in the shape of a five-pointed star from the small bottle, and the crystal landed on the hot steak meat, melting instantly, and the delicate transparent liquid quickly spread to the rest of the steak meat.
To be honest, the beef that Liu Huameiyin originally took out from the kitchen was just the best beef that could be bought on the market, and the quality was not outstanding. In addition, Liu Huameiyin's cooking skills are average, which causes the aroma of her meat to smell in Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua, who are accustomed to the high-grade pig, beef and mutton specially provided by Liu Shan, and it only belongs to a very general category.
However, when the pale golden transparent crystals in the shape of a five-pointed star melt on the steak, the aroma of the food changes.
If the initial aroma of food can arouse people's appetite, the taste of the pale golden crystals that explode in an instant after melting can make people's attention instantly grabbed and can't help swallowing saliva.
Lin Zeng actually guessed what it was after Liu Huameiyin took out the small bottle and observed the faintly flickering pale golden light of the bottle.
When the scent was wanton, his guess was more certain.
It is a product of the growth process of the giant tung flower tree, which is foliar precipitation salt of the leaf sap of the giant tree and the water of the giant tung flower tree.
The pale golden salt crystals collected from the leaves of the giant tung tree bring a wonderful taste experience to food.
"I'll try it. Jiang Hua picked up the knife and fork prepared by Liu Huameiyin, cut a piece of beef, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
"How's that?" Liu Huameiyin asked expectantly.
"Hmm," Jiang Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't answer, but nodded again and again, expressing his love for Liu Huameiyin's steak snack.
As an elderly girl, Liu Huameiyin laughed happily when she saw Jiang Hua and Lin Zeng's expressions, and began to share this beloved seasoning with them.
"You must not have guessed that such a beautiful little crystal-like cutie is actually the salt crystals collected from the leaves of the giant tung blossom tree. However, not all of those salt crystals are in the shape of stars, only about one-twentieth of the salt crystals of the tung tree will form the shape of a five-pointed star, and the others are more finely broken. Liu Huameiyin's eyes seemed to glow pink, and she didn't give Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua a chance to speak, let's go on.
"In New York, there is a chef at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant who is my best friend and who specializes in making delicious vanilla ice cream with Cypriot sea salt, which needs to be ordered three days in advance to taste it. But, can you believe it? Oh, wait, the dessert is made from the ice cream fruit I picked from the company, and you must try it later, it's a hundred times better than the extravagant ice cream made by that old guy John, no, two hundred times. ”
Lin Zeng also felt that the steak sprinkled with salt crystals on the leaves of the tung blossom tree had a very unique flavor, and the sense of happiness it brought to the taste buds was unique.
However, as a representative of Tubaozi, Lin Zeng heard Liu Huameiyin excitedly talking about various salt varieties that he didn't understand, so he picked up his mobile phone and checked the price.
I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm shocked when I check it.
It turned out that Lin Zeng had the impression of two five-day packets with a little salt, and there were so many delicate brothers and sisters.
What is Cyprus sea salt, which is sold on online stores for 40 yuan per 50 grams.
There is also a French salt flower, which costs seventy or eighty yuan per 125 grams. Look at the description of it, "mysterious violet aroma", "rich flavor layer", "caviar of the salt world", ......
The money to buy these salts is enough for a family to eat supermarket salt for several years.
Lin Zeng could only say that he couldn't understand that, according to Liu Huameiyin, a well-informed girl and old lady, these world-famous aristocratic salts definitely can't compare to the salt crystals precipitated from the giant tung blossom tree in improving the taste of food.
Both in taste and appearance.
Lin Zeng felt that in this case, he should specially collect tung flower salt crystals and export them abroad, which will definitely become a best-selling commodity that other Chinese people will never forget.
