Chapter 357: The Legend of the Heavenly Kitchen
"You can cook anything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Qiushui paused: "But I don't eat meat, I don't eat fish, I don't eat vegetables, and I don't drink soup." There is no vegetarian in the meat, and there is meat in the vegetarian medium. ”
"Daddy, you're too casual!" Li Ruonan pouted: "Isn't this obviously embarrassing Liu Mang." ”
"It's okay, I know what the dish is. Liu Mang thought for a moment and smiled: "Isn't it just scrambled eggs." ”
"Hey, what a smart boy!" Li Qiushui was taken aback again.
When Li Qiushui first learned to cook, he was embarrassed by the stove master with this question. In the end, he thought about it all night, scratched his head and came up with it, far less quickly than Liu Mang.
Liu Mang opened the refrigerator, took out a few eggs from it, cracked and stirred, added a little salt and pepper to taste, and finally turned on the faucet, scooped some water into it with his hands.
Scrambled eggs are arguably the simplest dish, so simple that anyone can make them. But the simpler it is, the harder it is to get it right.
Because scrambled eggs should be heated in a pan with cold oil. Scrambled eggs must be fried at a very high oil temperature to achieve color and texture.
However, in this way, even if the egg liquid stays in the pan for even one second, it may affect the formation of the dish in the end - long is too old, short is colorless.
If you let an old chef who has been cooking for many years cook this dish, you may capsize in the gutter. It's not much to do with experience, it's a test of a chef's keen observation and talent.
Liu Mang twisted the fire on the stove to the maximum, put the iron pot on the washing rack, and when the bottom of the pot was smoking, he immediately added a little oil, and then poured the egg liquid down the edge of the pot.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...
It only took nine seconds, and under Liu Mang's dazzling stir-frying, this plate of scrambled eggs was out of the pot.
"Uncle, please taste. Liu Mang put the scrambled eggs on a plate and brought them to the table.
Li Qiushui took a closer look, then picked up the chopsticks and stirred them, and before he tasted it, he praised it: "Good craftsmanship!"
The scrambled eggs on the plate are evenly distributed, each piece resembling freshly peeled tulip petals.
In such a short period of time, how terrifying does it take to cut the eggs into such beautiful pieces with a spatula?
Hearing Li Qiushui's praise, Li Ruonan glanced at Liu Mang with a smile, his face full of joy.
"It's wonderful!" picked up a piece and put it into his mouth and sipped it gently, Li Qiushui couldn't help but close his eyes.
He never thought that a simple scrambled egg could be so delicious!
Slippery, tender, fresh, fragrant! This is the signal that the tongue and masseter muscles send to him.
These four tastes maintain a delicate balance in the mouth, creating a completely new taste.
"Virtuous nephew, you are a kitchen god, you deserve your name!" Reluctantly swallowed the egg in his mouth, Li Qiushui opened his eyes and sighed.
"What's going on, your daughter didn't choose the wrong person, right?" Li Ruonan was a little proud.
"Yes, good food and good wine!" man, bring a bottle of Lafite from my wine cabinet. ”
"Okay!" Li Ruonan replied and went in a hurry.
"I heard from the man, most of your cooking skills are self-taught?" Li Qiushui took another piece of egg and put it into his mouth.
"That's right, uncle. Liu Mang nodded: "I first taught myself for three years, and then I worshiped under the silent master. ”
"Oh, are you the apprentice of Master Buyu?" Li Qiushui laughed: "I'll just say, why did the wooden card in my safe suddenly disappear, it turned out that the man took it and gave it to you." ”
"This ......" Liu Mang touched his nose, a little embarrassed.
"It's useless for you to keep it, it's better to give it to those who need it. Li Ruonan came back with a bottle of red wine: "A broken wooden card in exchange for a kitchen god, what a bargain this deal!"
"Not only the kitchen god, but also the son-in-law. Aunt Hua also giggled.
"The female university is not in the middle. Li Qiushui smiled and shook his head.
Li Ruonan woke up the red wine and poured a glass for Liu Mang: "You have to drink more, this is my old man's baby, and it is easy not to take it out." ”
"Nonsense! Didn't you drink a bottle on your last birthday?" Li Qiushui's eyes widened: "This kind of wine is one bottle less than one bottle." ”
"Yes. This bottle is an authentic 82-year-old Lafite, not a Xibei product that sells dog meat on the outside! There is no way that there is anything in the wine store, it is all sold by Daddy from the auction bottle by bottle. ”
"Well, the taste is good! The floral and fruity aromas are very prominent, and they are much more mellow and supple than ordinary red wines. Liu Mang shook the glass gently, first leaned in and sniffed deeply, and then took a sip.
"Hey, you still learned to taste wine?" Li Qiushui's eyes lit up.
"No, I don't drink much wine. Liu Mang shook his head.
"Impossible!" Li Qiushui was a little unconvinced: "If you haven't learned to taste wine, it's difficult to taste the real taste in one bite." Also, the posture of your wine tasting is also very correct, first shake, then smell, and then taste, most people don't know. ”
"Daddy, Liu Mang really hasn't learned. Li Ruonan sneered and laughed: "I estimate that the red wine he has drunk in his life does not add up to 10 bottles." And 5 of them were brought to him by me!"
"I still don't believe it. Li Qiushui raised his wine glass and took a sip: "People who have never learned wine tasting will only feel the astringency and sourness of red wine, and they can't taste the fruity aroma at all, let alone the unique floral aroma of this bottle of Lafite." ”
"I really didn't learn to taste wine, uncle. Even how to taste red wine was taught to me by Ruonan some time ago. Liu Mang thought for a moment: "As for being able to taste the difference in the wine, it may be that my sense of smell and taste is different from ordinary people." ”
"Daddy, let me tell you, how terrifying Liu Mang's taste is. As soon as he mentioned this, Li Ruonan was immediately excited: "You haven't watched his competition with others, and you can even taste the origin of the spring water!"
"Really?" Li Qiushui was not calm at this time, he looked at Liu Mang's eyes like looking at a monster: "Could it be that your tongue is more accurate than an instrument? This kind of talent can be compared to the legendary Heavenly Kitchen!"
"Heavenly Kitchen?" Liu Mang and Li Ruonan asked in unison.
"Yes! Li Qiushui looked yearning: "For example, Yi Ya, who can taste Zishui and Shuishui, the ancestor of the female celebrity chef in the Tang Dynasty, Yu Yi who developed the "Jinling Banquet", and the fifth sister-in-law of the Song Dynasty, the ancestor of the fish praised by Gaozong... They all have a sense of smell and taste that is far beyond ordinary people. ”
"Liu Mang, one day, you will also become a legend in the history of Chinese cooking. Li Ruonan affirmed.
"That's right, only when you reach that state can you live up to God's love for you. Li Qiushui now looks at this future son-in-law, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing he feels.
