Chapter 508: Wu Ling Ginseng and Yun Xiangxin

Cover the 'scarlet lips' with some green onion knots and ginger slices and put them in the steamer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Mang took the giant salamander that had been processed by the five eyes.

"Boss, how do you eat this fish?" asked Five Eyes.

"Braised is also possible, but if you want to eat the original flavor, it is best to stew. Liu Mang said as he cut the giant salamander open and then cut it into large sections.

"Hello, this one will help me clean up. Liu Mang took out a handful of ingredients from the plastic bag on the board and stuffed them into Wuyan's hands.

"What is this, how is it the same as dry shit?" looked at what Liu Mang stuffed over, and said in surprise.

The thing in his hand is oval-shaped, and the outer skin is a hard shell, black and black, really like air-dried dog shit.

"This is Wuling ginseng, look at this head, it should be a rare treasure. Liu Mang replied.

"Wuling ginseng?" Five-Eyes shook his head: "It's the first time I've heard of it, how does it compare to wild ginseng?"

"Although the name has a ginseng, they are two completely different things. Liu Mang explained.

"Wild ginseng is a plant, while Wuling ginseng is a fungus, a bit like Ganoderma lucidum. As for the rarity, the two are about the same, but Wuling ginseng is a little rarer, because ginseng can also be cultivated artificially, while Wuling ginseng only grows in the abandoned nests of termites, which is very uncertain. ”

"It only grows in places where termites are abandoned, this condition is really harsh, how does it taste?"

"Taste?" Liu Mang thought for a moment: "Because Wuling ginseng itself contains a certain amount of sugar, it has a sweet taste. And its taste is secondary, the most important thing is the curative effect, it has the effect of calming the nerves, stopping bleeding, lowering blood pressure, and is most suitable for pregnant women and people who have lost blood. ”

"Best for pregnant women?" Wuyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Boss, there are a lot of Wuling ginseng here, and you shouldn't be able to use up a dish, right?"

"I want to keep it for Yang Yan. Liu Mang laughed: "Okay, you pick five or six and soak them in boiling water for me, and you take the rest." ”

"Thank you, Boss. Five-eyed 'hehe' smiled, picked a few big ones, and stuffed the rest in his pocket.

"And you can take some of this mushroom back with you, you can't buy it outside. Liu Mang then opened a plastic bag, which contained a milky white fungus mass.

"What is this?" Five Eyes took a closer look and found that the fungus was tightly textured, in the form of fist-sized blocks, and a faint aroma came to the face, which was refreshing.

"This is Yun Xiangxin, do you look at it, does it look like a white cloud?"

"Well, it's quite like. Five-Eyes nodded: "Is this mushroom very rare?"

"That's right, Yun Xiangxin is one of the eight treasures of grass, but when it comes to rarity and preciousness, it is the other seven kinds of grass and eight treasures, and the horse can't catch up. ”

"Really, how precious?"

"Yunxiangxin is actually a kind of shiitake mushroom, the difference is that this mushroom only grows on agarwood trees, and the conditions for its formation are very special, only in the weather of continuous rainstorm and thunder. If you think about it, agarwood itself is very rare, not to mention the mushrooms that grow on it, which is simply a rare occurrence in decades. Liu Mang recalled the record on the "Food Treasures" and said.

"There are quite a few here, where did the Manhan Mansion come from?" said the Five Eyes in surprise.

"There is no shortage of talented people in the world, and it is normal for someone to cultivate this kind of fungus. Liu Mang replied.

"Do you need boiling water for this?" asked Goyan again.

"This is a fresh mushroom, blanching it with boiling water will make it lose its aroma, you can wash it for me with cold water. ”

"Okay. Five-eyes answered, and took the two fungi to deal with it.

Liu Mang, on the other hand, boiled the water in a pot, blanched the large salamander cut into sections once to remove the blood foam, and then put it into a large urn, added the hot chicken soup prepared in advance, and boiled it on high heat.

"Boss, the mushrooms are ready. After Liu Mang prepared all this, Wuyan brought over two kinds of cleaned mushrooms.

Liu Mang put a cross knife on the Wuling ginseng, and Yun Xiangxin cut it into thin slices and set it aside for later use.

The temperature of the flame under the urn was high. Soon, the chicken broth inside the urn was boiling and making a 'gurgling' sound.

As the soup boils, the umami flavor in the giant salamander meat is forced out by the high temperature, and the whole soup quickly turns into a milk-like snow-white color.

"Boss, it's so fresh!" said Five Eyes as he took a deep sniff at the steaming heat coming out of the mouth of the clay urn, and said with some intoxication.

"Well, giant salamander is one of the best fish to use in stewed soup because its flesh has very little fishy smell, almost nothing, and it is very sweet when cooked. ”

Liu Mang said as he poured the Wuling ginseng in: "The texture of the Wuling ginseng is a little hard, you can stew it together, Yunxiangxin will be more tender in taste, and it will be blanched when you get out of the pot at the end." ”

Cover the lid of the clay urn, put on a wet towel, turn the fire off to medium heat, Liu Mang walked to the steamer: "Xiao Wu, it's ready to be served." ”

"Huh, is it all right?" Five Eyes looked at the time: "It's only been half an hour." ”

"It's almost, and if you steam it again, it's rotten. Liu Mang grabbed a towel, opened the steamer, and took out the steamed 'fragrant steamed scarlet lips' inside.

Under the action of steam, the color of the scarlet lips on the plate became more red and bright, and the fat seeped out of the flesh, and all of it was immersed in the taro sandwiched next to it.

"Fragrant, so fragrant!" Looking at the dish on the table, Five Eyes felt that his mouth was already flooded.

"That's not good. Liu Mang walked to the stove and took a porcelain bowl.

After thinking about it for a while, I first poured in a little vinegar, added some sugar, poured in a little light soy sauce, added some sesame oil, and finally added a little minced garlic and ginger and stirred well.

"Well, it's fresh and sweet, and it's exactly the same as the flavor type explained by the master, so you can't go wrong. Liu Mang dipped it, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and muttered to himself.

Sprinkle a handful of green onions on top of the dish and pour the sauce over it. The 'fragrant steamed scarlet lips' in the eighteen secret dishes of the Manhan Mansion are completed at this moment.

"Boss, I can't help it, can you taste a piece. Five Eyes asked.

"Uh...... It's not good, you'll see. Liu Mang replied.

"It's okay, I have my own way. Wuyan took a pair of chopsticks, took out a few pieces of scarlet lips and taro on the plate, and then carefully rearranged them.

"How's that?

"If you want to eat, you don't have to say it early, I'll keep some if you say it early. Liu Mang was a little funny: "I see that you are very skilled in stealing food, and you have done this upstairs and upstairs." ”

"Cut! Do you still need to steal food in your own restaurant? I just ask the big beauty to make it alone. After Five Eyes finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of scarlet lips and put it into his mouth, and his eyes immediately widened.
