"Everyone, is the dish ready?" After the two black-clothed men ate the fish on the plate until there was no residue left, and they were about to lick the plate, Jefferson walked in with his attendants. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's okay, let's serve!" Liu Mang pointed to the fish trays on the table that were laid out and divided into more than a dozen small plates: "By the way, Mr. Jefferson, this dish should be mixed and eaten." ”

"It's still as beautiful as ever. Jefferson looked at the fish on his plate and marveled.

The sparkling fish fillets are as thin as cicada's wings, as if carved out of ice, and are accompanied by a variety of colorful vegetable shreds, which are visually pleasing to the eye.

"Is this transparent piece of meat fish?" asked Jefferson, looking left and right around the 'chrysanthemum fish' on the table.

"That's right, Your Excellency doesn't love sashimi, so we made this dish as a starter. ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Liu Mang to not only be able to cook Chinese food, but also to dabble in Dongying's cooking. ”

"Mr. Jefferson, then you are mistaken. Liu Mang shook his head again and again: "Dongying's yusheng is passed over from China, and this 'chrysanthemum fish belly' is also an authentic Chinese dish, and you must explain it clearly when the guests ask." ”

"I understand. After Jefferson finished speaking, he led the attendants out with the dishes.

In the hall on the kitchen side, there is laughter and music, and a small dance party is being held.

When the song was over, Jefferson picked up a small bell and shook it: "Distinguished guests, the banquet is ready. ”

"Your Excellency, please dine. The silver-haired Française made a gesture of invitation, inviting the black president and his wife to the table.

"Wow! Toei's sashimi? The president sat down, put a napkin on his knees, glanced at the 'chrysanthemum fish tart' that the attendants brought to him, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Excellency, this dish is called 'Chrysanthemum Fish Soup', which is cooked by a chef from China, and it is an authentic Chinese dish. Jefferson did not forget Liu Mang's entrustment and explained.

"Mr. President, I've fallen in love with Chinese food since the last time I tasted that Chinese chef, and I'm sure you'll be spoilt for choice today. Francis also said with a smile.

"Oh, Chinese food, I like it too. The president forked a fillet that Jefferson had helped mix with his fork and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the slightly cool fish fillet is eaten, the first thing the taste buds feel is the sweetness and sourness of the dipping sauce, and after this burst of sweetness and sourness, it is the slightly choking spicy sensation of wasabi.

After the spicy sensation passes, the teeth cut into the elastic fillet, and the sweetness and deliciousness of the flesh of the fillet ripple on the tip of the tongue instantly.

Different from Dongying's fish fillet sashimi, Liu Mang's 'chrysanthemum fish belly' flavor is a little more complex, in addition to the sweet and sour taste of the dipping sauce and the spicy taste of wasabi, there is also the burnt aroma of sesame seeds and the crispness of various vegetables.

The peanut oil specially added gives the fish fillet a plump taste, making the fillet taste less dry and moist.

"Very good!" Mr. President nodded in admiration.

"I always thought sashimi was unique to Dongying, but I didn't expect that China was just as good and more to my taste. ”

"It's really good, I didn't really like sashimi before, but this time the fillet was much bigger than I expected, it was very delicious. The president's wife also exclaimed.

"Chinese civilization is the only civilization in the world that has never been interrupted, and its food culture has been passed down from generation to generation. Personally, I think Chinese food is even better than French food, because it is not only a cuisine, but also a culture and heritage. A bearded white man sitting across from the president was clearly a China expert, he said.

"That's right!"

While everyone was eating and talking, Liu Mang and the others were nervously making the soup for this banquet - jade flower soup.

However, this time, in order to cater to the taste of the president's wife, the flower branches inside have been replaced with oysters, and it is more appropriate to change the name to "Jade Oyster Soup".

Rinse the cleaned spinach, drain and chop into minced pieces. Crab mushrooms are shredded, and tender tofu is cut into small cubes.

"Lao Liu, are there enough oysters?" Lin Xiao used a special knife to pry open an oyster, and then swallowed the puddle of sea water in the oyster.

"If you eat so many oysters, aren't you afraid of diarrhea?" Li Ruonan glanced at Lin Xiao and said.

"What is that? I think when I was in France, I had two dozen oysters and three bottles of white wine every day, and nothing happened. Lin Xiao disagreed, took the oysters from the basket, and then pried them open.

With the Adams family's wealth, the ingredients used are of course top-notch.

For example, this oyster is all Giraldo oysters that were shipped from France in the sky.

The shape of this oyster is different from that of ordinary oysters, with one side flat and one side raised. When you open the oysters, you will have a rich seawater flavor that is tender and crispy, mixed with a hint of milk.

Its flesh is fat and firm, the taste is elastic and chewy, the flavor is delicate and layered, full of marine umami and oysters, with a subtle hint of hazelnut.

Lin Xiao is obviously an expert in knowing goods, and he is also an old fritter who will not treat his stomach badly.

Of the five dozen oysters in the kitchen, most of the rest went into his stomach except for a dozen into the dish.

"Lao Liu, I left you a dozen, you can try it later, this kind of oyster is something that is difficult to buy with money, and it is the most delicious to eat raw!"

"Okay, I'll try it later. Liu Mang shook his head a little amusedly, and sliced the oysters that had been peeled off the cutting board.

The oyster slices are good, put the broth you brought with you in the pot, first add the crab mushrooms and cook for a while, then add the chopped spinach and diced tofu, wait until the soup boils, and add the kudzu root powder to thicken.

Pueraria lobata is a traditional Chinese medicine in China, which has the effect of clearing heat and relieving fire, and quenching thirst.

The juice is squeezed from its tuber and then precipitated to obtain kudzu root powder.

The soup thickened with kudzu powder is as transparent as glass in color and has a refreshing mint-like flavor in the mouth.

"Alright. "After hooking the pot, add the sliced oyster slices, then season with salt and pepper, and after boiling for a while, Liu Mang removes the wok from the flame, and then scoops the 'jade oyster soup' made in the pot into a small bowl.

"Two, this dish is done, this one is for you. Liu Mang said to the two black-clothed men who were inspecting the food.

As is customary, one of the men in black scooped up some soup and sealed it in a glass test tube. The other couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful and taste it.

"Alas, slow down, be careful of burning!" Liu Mang reminded.

This reminder did not work, because Liu Mang spoke Chinese, and this bodyguard did not react at all, and was so scalded that he almost threw out the spoon.

"Haha, this kind of soup has been thickened, and it doesn't look like there is any heat coming out on the surface, but it's actually very hot inside, right?" Lin Xiao laughed and fell.

"yes, I'll have to tell Jefferson later, and let him remind the guests to stir it before drinking. Li Ruonan said.

"Dude, how does it taste?" Lin Xiao patted the man in black on the shoulder and asked.

"Hmm...... It's very delicious!" The man in black smacked his lips and praised repeatedly: "Are your Chinese dishes so delicious?"

"Of course! I call it second, who dares to call it first!" Lin Xiao looked proud: "Forget those unpalatable burgers and hot dogs, this is the real food." ”

"Guys, I'm back again. At this time, Jefferson walked in: "Your Excellency the President and distinguished guests, I am very satisfied with your dishes!"

"That's good, Mr. Jefferson, the soup is good. This soup is a bit hot, you must remind everyone to be careful, stir well and disperse some heat before drinking. Liu Mang said.

"No problem. Jefferson nodded, and went out with the squires carrying the soup.

"Okay, let's start preparing the cashew shrimp too. Liu Mang took a sip of water and said.

"No problem, I'll peel the shrimp. Lin Xiao walked towards the water tank.

"Then I'll fry the cashew nuts first, if you don't let them cool, the texture will not be crispy. Liu Mang put down the water cup and put the pot on the stove.

"Oh, it's the first time I've seen soup of this color. "When Jefferson brought Liu Mang's 'jade oyster soup' in front of him, the black president took a look and said.

Verdant chopped spinach floats in the transparent soup, like fallen leaves in a pool of clear water.

"It looks very light, there is tofu and vegetables in it, what is this?" asked the president's wife, scooping up one of the oyster slices with a spoon.

After heating, the oyster slices become a little smaller, slightly shrinking, and emitting bursts of heat.

"Madam, the name of this dish is 'Jade Oyster Soup', and I think it's oysters. Jefferson explained.

"Oyster......s? Always a favorite of mine. The president's wife scooped up a spoonful and was about to put it in her mouth.

"Madam, this soup is very hot, it is better to blow it cold before drinking. Jefferson remembered Liu Mang's advice and hurriedly reminded.

"Okay. The president's wife picked up the spoon and blew lightly for a few breaths, then put it in her mouth and took a sip.

"Hmm...... It's unimaginably delicious!"

The soup is indeed a little hot, but it is this heat that completely activates the umami of the oysters and broth, and as soon as it touches the tongue, the taste buds on the tongue are immediately overwhelmed by this umami and bloom in unison.

"Hmm...... Hmmm...... "No one spoke, everyone picked up the spoon and tasted the 'jade oyster soup' in the bowl, with an intoxicated expression.

"Mr. Jefferson, what is the name of the gentleman who made this dish?" the president asked.

"Your Excellency the President, his name is Liu Mang, and he is a kitchen god from China. ”

"No wonder! Only people who can be called gods with a precise grasp of the taste can make such dishes. ”

"How's it going, Mr. President, are you satisfied with the soup?" asked Liu Mang when Jefferson returned to the kitchen with the empty utensils.

"Satisfied! It's so satisfying!" Jefferson nodded repeatedly: "Mr. President even said that if you are willing to go to the White House, then he will prepare a Chinese kitchen at his own expense." ”

"Please, we don't work as private chefs, if Mr. President wants to eat again, he can only go to China to find us in the future. Lin Xiao replied.

"Alright, let's start making side dishes. Liu Mang walked to the stove.

Put the shrimp that have been peeled off the shell and the shrimp line into a bowl, then crack an egg, remove the yolk and leave only the egg white, and add it to the shrimp.

Then add a little salt and starch and stir vigorously with your hands in one direction.

Liu Mang had fried the cashew nuts in advance and cooled them for fifteen minutes, because only in this way could the moisture in the cashew nuts completely escape and make its taste extremely crispy.

Bring the oil to a hot point, then add the shrimps, slide through the oil until cooked through, then remove and drain the oil.

Cashew shrimp is also a very hot kung fu dish, the taste of shrimp has a considerable relationship with the oil temperature, a little over, it will be old, eat in the mouth will not have a smooth and tender feeling.

Leave the bottom oil in the pot, after heating, put the chopped green onions, minced garlic and ginger into the stir-fry until fragrant, then add the shrimp, peas, sweet corn kernels, then add cooking wine and salt and stir-fry until even, and finally put the cashew nuts in and pour in sesame oil.

"Boom, boom!" As Liu Mang slammed the pot twice, the flame ignited the added cooking wine, and the whole pot rose into flames more than three feet high.

The two black-clothed bodyguards were dumbfounded, they never thought that they could still do this when cooking!

"Alright, it's time to plate. Liu Mang shouted, and Lin Xiao immediately took a few carved oranges and put them on the board.

The flesh inside the orange has long been hollowed out, leaving only the orange peel, and the orange peel was also carved out by Liu Mang with the technique of yang carving, carving the pattern of chrysanthemum and plum bamboo.

"Can we try it?" the two black-clad bodyguards swallowed at the same time.

"Of course, it's your job. ”

"Okay. The two bodyguards picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful from one of the dishes, and put it in their mouths.

"Oh my God! this is God's work!" exclaimed one of the bodyguards.

"It's so delicious, it's a great errand today because it allows me to taste such a delicious taste!"

The shrimp is smooth and tender, and when you bite down, it quickly pops open between your teeth. The cashew nuts are crispy and served with sweet corn and peas, and every time you chew it, it seems that your soul is taking off.

"Uh...... Both, you're all done eating, don't you need to keep a sample?" looked at the two bodyguards who were scrambling for that portion of the 'cashew shrimp', Lin Xiao said.

"Ahh

"This ...... This ......" the two men scratched their heads in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I deliberately made a little more, you can use this to keep the bottom. Liu Mang smiled and scooped the remaining shrimp at the bottom of the pot into a plate.

One of the bodyguards reluctantly looked at it, put a little into the test tube, and then eagerly picked up the rest and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
