Seeing Liu Mang's surprised eyes, Jia Buping had a little smugness on his face: "Manhan Building has been open for nearly a hundred years, and naturally there are specific supply channels and breeding bases. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is like this baby fish, which is the first batch of successful breeding in China and has obtained the national special breeding qualification. ”

At the end, Jia Buping added: "Of course, some newly opened small restaurants are incomparable, and they are also the heritage of century-old restaurants." ”

Liu Mang knew that Jia Buping was talking about his upstairs. For such a mockery, he just smiled and did not argue.

This feeling is like a local tyrant who has made a fortune, but he goes to the richest man in the world to show off. However, there are some ingredients that Liu Mang still can't get, such as the dried meat on the board that is dark red, shaped like a crescent moon, and covered with crystal salt flowers, which should be the legendary scarlet lips.

"Elk are not national protected animals, are they all in captivity in Dafeng now, where did you get them?"

Elk is also called four dislikes, once widely distributed in the swampy low-lying areas of North China and the Central Plains, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, began to become a garden animal from the wild extinction, the last group of "four dislikes" was kept in the "Nanhaizi" royal hunting garden 6 miles south of Beijing, to the end of the Qing Dynasty only 120 left.

In 1865, the French missionary David came to "Nanhaizi" during a horseback expedition to the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing, and stumbled upon the "four dislikes" in the wall, which aroused his great interest, and the following year he used bribes to deceive a pair of "four dislikes" for 20 taels of silver to be shipped to Paris.

Since then, some "four dislikes" have been shipped to some European countries. In 1900, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, the "Four Differences" in the "Nanhaizi" enclosure were robbed, killed, and ransacked, and since then the "Four Differences" have disappeared in China.

Later, the Ubang Temple Manor in England raised the "Four Differences" and was able to multiply, and by 1901, there were only 18 "Four Differences" in the world.

In 1981, China sent a scientific delegation to the Ubang Temple Manor to visit and inspect the "Four Differences". The owner of the estate, Lord Tavistock, has repeatedly told the international scientific community that he hopes that one day the "four dislikes" will return to China and settle down. In 1985, with the assistance of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the first batch of "Four Differences" donated to China by Ubang Temple Manor in the United Kingdom was flown to Beijing on August 24 and raised in the "Nanhaizi" Elk Park, where the ancestors of the "Four Differences" lived for generations. After more than 100 years of displacement, the "Four Differences" have finally returned to their hometown.

Such a rare and legendary animal is simply a fight with the giant panda, Liu Mang does not believe that Manhanlou still has this kind of means, which can be obtained under heavy protection.

"Of course it's not an elk, it's the cheek meat of a reindeer, and as early as 90 years, we introduced this kind of deer from abroad and raised it in the Changbai Mountain area. However, the yield rate is not high, and there are only a dozen heads that can be used for vegetables a year. But don't worry, after the old chef's description, the quality of this meat is not much different from that of elk, which is probably the difference between cattle and buffalo meat. Jia Buping explained.

"I see!" Liu Mang nodded.

The century-old restaurant really still has its own family background, because these things need time to accumulate and cannot be achieved overnight.

"As for this elephant, it is imported from Myanmar, although the source is a bit gray, but it is not sold on the surface, there is no problem. Jia Buping picked up a long ingredient wrapped in plastic wrap and said.

"This is Elephant Pull. ”

The last time Liu Mang did 'Rich Elephant Pull', he replaced it with a pig arch, and this time he finally saw the real thing.

"Okay, Master Liu, I won't bother you, just say what you need. Jia Buping politely said a few words, and then left.

"Lao Jia, what do you mean by this? These ingredients are all in stock of our Manhan Building, and they are only taken out by the big customers when they come, why do you give them all to Liu Mang?" Wei Changli asked.

At first, he thought that Jia Buping would make a ghost on the ingredients and embarrass Liu Mang. didn't expect this to be the case at all, the ingredients Jia Buping gave Liu Mang were all genuine.

"Are you stupid? Who is Liu Mang? Won't he be able to see it? Even if he can't see it, when Hui Buyu and Han Shaobai come, they won't be able to see it?"

"So what's the effect? Just watch Liu Mang make one secret dish after another, and then slap us in the face nakedly?"

"Then you're wrong!" Jia Buping chuckled: "Old Wei, tell you the truth, are these legendary Bazhen really that delicious?"

"It's delicious!" Wei Changli didn't know why Jia Buping asked like this, his expression froze, he thought for a while, and then replied: "It's delicious, but if the chef's level is not up to par, it will be difficult to do it well." ”

"That's right!" Jia Buping slapped his palms: "Even if you are a high-level person, can you guarantee a success when you handle these ingredients for the first time?" Also, many of those masters who came today have never tasted it. Think about it, if you are full of expectations for something in your heart, and it has been raised to a certain level, if it is a little bad, then you will definitely be disappointed in your heart, and you will have a feeling that it does not live up to its name. ”

"Why didn't I think of it?" Wei Changli became excited: "Those seniors in the industry here will not sell Liu Mang's face, so it can be said that it is very difficult to serve." I don't doubt Liu Mang's ability, but cooking requires experience, just like when I deal with that scarlet lip, although I have the guidance of my predecessors, but I have also gone through countless explorations to know how long to stew and how much seasoning to put to taste better. The master can't teach these things. ”

"This is an upright conspiracy, and when Liu Mang finds out that what he made is a piece of garbage, he will naturally come to us to discuss. Jia Bufan replied.

"However, will Liu Mang find someone to help, such as Buyu and Han Shaobai?" Wei Changli said again.

"Well, there's a possibility. Jia Bufan nodded: "That's it, when the two of them come, we want to leave them in the box." ”

"No problem, I'll leave this to me. Wei Changli said.

In the kitchen at this time, Liu Mang opened the thick plastic wrap on the 'elephant': "Well, it's sealed with cheese." ”

Liu Mang stepped forward and sniffed, and then poked it with a toothpick: "The meat of the elephant is much thicker and more elastic than the pig arch, and it seems that the stewing time is a little longer." ”

Next, Liu Mang took a knife, cut a small slice from the elephant pull, then fried it in oil in the pot, and finally brought it to his mouth to taste.

"It's so tough! The taste is much stronger than that of a pig's arch. However, if it is not handled properly, it will inevitably affect the taste of the dish. Looks like I'm going to have to think about it slowly. ”
