Chapter 164, Snake Meat Feast - Dragon and Phoenix Fight!
Several people came to the front yard, and the dishes were already on the table.
The number of dishes is not much, only four dishes and one soup, but the portions are full of one, and they still continue the fierce style of large porcelain potted dishes.
The soup is snake broth, a large section of fat snake meat floats at the bottom of the basin, the soup is clear, it is dotted with a few wolfberries, and there is a layer of oil flowers floating on it, and the appearance is similar to the previous soft-shelled turtle soup, all of which belong to the clear soup category.
For this soup, Tang Fan can recognize it at a glance, it is ordinary snake broth.
But the dish is a little strange, only one of the four dishes is the best to identify, that is, scrambled eggs with leeks, needless to say, it must be scrambled with those dozen wild eggs.
And the rest of the dishes Tang Fan didn't know a little.
One of the pots is red, full of chili peppers, there is basically no soup in the pot, and under the chili peppers are sauce-red meat strips, but these meat strips are a little strange, they look like belts, the shape and width are similar to the belts, and they are all coiled in a circle, which is very regular.
Tang Fan could guess that this should be snake meat, but he couldn't guess how the snake meat was made into this shape, and he couldn't tell whether it was a 'belt' or several belts in this pot, but the appearance of this dish was very good, the whole was red, and it was also dotted with a handful of chopped coriander.
There is also a pot of vegetables that is completely different in style and color.
This dish as a whole is white, it should be a stew, or a stew, because the soup is green and white, and the main ingredients in it are two long objects like white jade, each with two finger thickness, one section is very beautiful, and these two long strips are winding and coiling with each other in the basin, looming under the soup, like two white jade dragons about to come out of the water, it looks very beautiful......
Tang Fan knew that this should also be a dish made of snakes, but looking at the color of the main ingredients, it didn't look like snake meat, but it looked like ...... Snake bones?
Among the four dishes and one soup, the most attractive and peculiar shape is the last dish.
This is also the largest vegetable bowl on the table, no, this can no longer be called a vegetable basin, it should be called a vegetable bowl, a short vegetable bowl with a diameter of half a meter!
In the jar were two animals that had been stewed to a brown sauce, one a chicken and the other a large snake.
The two wings of the chicken are spread out, making wings Pengfei, and the snake is wrapped around the body of the chicken, although the chicken has no hair, the snake has no skin, but a scene of the chicken and snake fighting is still vividly displayed.
What is especially ingenious is that although the head of the snake was broken by a stone, the top of the snake's body was put into the mouth of the chicken, posing a scene of the snake being devoured by the chicken, which did not destroy the beauty of the dish at all.
"Hey, this is a chicken and snake fight, no, it should be a dragon and phoenix fight!" Tang Fan shouted with bright eyes as he sat down.
"That's right, young master, this is the dragon and phoenix fight. ”
Wei Jianming, who was standing on the side, was still smiling, but then he said with some regret: "It's a pity that there is no cat, otherwise you can make a 'dragon and tiger phoenix stew'." ”
Tang Fan shook his head when he heard this, "Fortunately, I can eat the rest, but the cat ...... It's really a bit hard to talk about. ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but take a closer look at the 'dragon and phoenix fight', and couldn't help but admire: "The shape is so good-looking, this is the real 'dragon and phoenix fight', it's so vivid, I'm a little reluctant to start......"
said so, but Tang Fan's actual actions obviously did not match what he said, he picked up his chopsticks, and without even hesitating, he directly attacked the vegetable bowl.
His primary target is naturally not the 'phoenix', this must be made with otherworldly pheasants, there is nothing new, and the 'dragon' is a new ingredient that has never been tasted.
Originally, Tang Fan thought that this dish would be more difficult to clip, because the snake in the basin was a whole one, and it would take some effort to cut it off, but who knew that when the chopsticks fell on the snake meat, it was just so lightly picked, and a piece of meat of uniform size was picked off......
Tang Fan was obviously stunned, and after a closer look, he realized that the snake looked like a whole, but in fact, it had been divided into many small segments, and only a thin layer of skin was connected between each segment, and this layer of skin was so thin that it would break with just a slight bang.
"Hey~ Uncle Wei, your knife work is really amazing!"
Tang Fan sincerely gave Wei Jianming a thumbs up, it is really not easy to do this, one point deep is broken, and one point is shallow and it cannot be easily torn apart, and it is necessary to consider whether the stew will break because the meat is boiled, this is not something that ordinary chefs can do, at least he can't do it himself.
Wei Jianming just smiled when he heard this, but didn't speak.
And Tang Fan was surprised, and didn't care about anything else, he directly put the snake meat to his mouth, and then bit his teeth, just like eating chicken legs, he directly tore off a whole piece of meat.
The first thing you feel is the salty aroma of the soup, and then a very special faint sweetness begins to permeate the mouth, which is the taste of snake meat.
Snake meat is very special, there is only a faint sweetness, this taste is not strong, no matter how you chew, this slight sweetness will not be amplified, but this faint sweetness will always be filled in your mouth, not rich but will always ** your taste buds, like a cute and naughty naughty boy.
The taste of snake meat is even more special, it is different from common meat, delicate but firm, very chewy, and there is no fat at all, but it will not be old and tough, and it will not be chewed with a slight elastic feeling, which is completely a very novel experience, especially wonderful.
As you continue to chew, the deliciousness of the chicken begins to burst out again, the two flavors are perfectly blended together, the unique light fragrance of the chicken combined with the faint sweetness of the snake meat, there is a feeling of sublimation between the blending of water and milk, so that the two flavors are both elevated to another level!
This feeling is indescribable, it can only be said to be wonderful, incomparably wonderful.
It was so wonderful that Tang Fan couldn't help but speed up his eating, and in just a few bites, he tore all the whole piece of snake meat clean......
Call~
Swallowing the last trace of meat, Tang Fan couldn't help but exhale lightly, only to feel that the wonderful sweetness was still on the tip of his tongue, making people linger.
Although he doesn't know how the dish is made, as a chef he can still see what kind of cooking method is used. This dish should be simmered slowly in a casserole, otherwise the flavors of these two ingredients will not be so perfect.
And as he put another chicken wing in his mouth, this guess was basically confirmed.
The chicken is also perfectly integrated with the light sweetness of snake meat, and with the smooth and tender taste of the chicken skin, it is soft and smooth, and the sweetness reverberates......
"Hey, this 'dragon and phoenix fight' is really unspeakable! It's another super dish!"
