Chapter 055: The Taste of Memory
Count Pitt's banquet ended quickly, for the whole banquet consisted only of the sweet whole fruit main course, and the rest was some snacks and the like. www.biquge.info It's not that Count Bit doesn't want to have a sumptuous feast, it's really sweet whole fruit pearls in front of him, and other ingredients are difficult to satisfy everyone's taste.
The vast majority of people do not have gourmet cells, their meals are limited, and the amazing sweetness of sweet whole fruits has filled everyone's stomachs, and even if there are really other foods, it is difficult for these people to eat.
At the end of the banquet, those nobles walked around with red wine to find someone to chat, Lin Su didn't know a few people at all, so he simply left.
When he walked out of Count Pit's house, Lin Su had an extra food box in his hand, and the box contained a small piece of sweet whole fruit.
A food box is a recently developed food storage utensil, similar to a refrigerator, but it can not only cool but also heat, and can also regulate humidity. There are some high-end ingredients that require a special storage environment to maintain their taste, and the gourmet box was developed to solve this situation.
This type of food box is still in its infancy, and not only is it limited in function, but it also needs to be set by the customer to adjust the temperature and humidity.
Many people don't know what kind of environment different ingredients should be stored in, so this kind of food box is currently only used by a small number of chefs.
If in the future, if a storage information card for various ingredients is created, users can operate it with one click as long as they select the correct card, and then this tool will really be accepted by the public.
This sweet whole fruit was prepared by Lin Su for Dreiser, as the first friend he met when he went out to practice, Dreiser helped Lin Su solve a lot of troubles.
On the way to Dreiser's house, Lin Su was attracted by the sound of selling, it turned out that there was a vegetable market nearby.
Lin Su has always been going to capture ingredients by himself, and he really has no experience of buying things in the market, so he happened to have nothing to do, so he walked in early curiously.
"Auntie, how do you sell this apple?"
"Ten dollars a pound. ”
"Ten yuan?" Lin Su was stunned, almost all the ingredients he came into contact with were denominated in tens of thousands, and he really didn't react when he suddenly heard such a small amount.
"Do you want it, young man?"
"Ahh As soon as the words fell, Lin Su suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he remembered that he only had a bank card on him, and there was no cash at all, "Auntie, can you swipe the card?"
"No problem, young people don't want to carry change in their pockets now, and those of us who sell vegetables must keep up with the times. The aunt smiled and took out a mobile POS machine.
Swiping the card to pay, Lin Su left the stall with two catties of red Fuji apples. Hold an apple in your hand and bite off most of it, this ordinary fruit gives a taste shock that is indeed far from the sweet whole fruit.
But Lin Su didn't stop eating these ordinary apples just because he had eaten sweet whole fruits, and in all fairness, they tasted good.
Continuing to wander around the vegetable market, Lin Su walked to a stall selling fish, and he looked at a frozen piece of hairtail fish in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What do you want to buy, young man? My fish here is guaranteed to be fresh. The stall owner patted his chest and said.
"I want all these hairtails. ”
……
Finding Dreiser's home, Lin Su handed the food box to the other party.
"Lin Su, this is the sweet whole fruit you found?"
"That's right, I left one for you. ”
"Knowing you was the best decision I've ever made. Dreiser's chuckled. "What's in that pocket?"
"Bought on the way here, today's dinner was settled at your house. ”
Dreiser's eyes were immediately dumbfounded: "No, I don't know how to cook." ”
"Of course I'm going to do it. Lin Su walked into the kitchen with the fish.
The hairtail fish were only kept fresh on crushed ice, and they were not frozen into hard lumps, so the journey to the Dreiser house was almost gone.
Dealing with hairtail fish is actually very simple, this kind of fish does not need to be scaled, just cut off the head, fins, and remove the internal organs. However, when handling the internal organs, remember to remove the black line in the belly of the hairtail, which is its bile line, and it will be very bitter if you don't clean it.
After the above preparations, it should be washed with cold water, and care should be taken to remove the dirt while retaining the silver scales on the surface of the fish. The slippery silver scales are not scales, but a special fat skin, which is the essence of the whole fish.
Of course, the hairtail fish that Lin Su bought were relatively fresh, and the silver scales on the surface of the body had not yet oxidized. If the silver scales will oxidize and turn into light yellow when in contact with the air for a long time, it is not suitable for consumption at this time, and must be removed when cleaning, otherwise there will be a strong fishy smell.
Cut the processed hairtail into finger-length pieces, marinate them in salt, and then fry them directly in oil until golden brown.
……
"Lin Su, how do I feel that the hairtail on the plate of the two of us is different?" Dreiser, after a comparison, said. His own plate was filled with the most and widest parts of the hairtail, while the ones on Lin Su's plate were all small hairtail less than two fingers wide, and some fish tails.
"I like to eat hairtail like this. Lin Su smiled reluctantly.
Directly picked up a quick fried hairtail with his hand, and Lin Su carefully tore the hairtail fish in his hand into three pieces along the bone. Unlike other spiny fish, you don't have to worry about the bones when you eat hairtail, and you can easily separate the bones by tearing them along its body.
The fish is in the mouth, because it is deliberately fried for a while to make the fish more resilient and chewy. The fish is completely salty and light, and it goes well with rice.
When you pick up a piece of the tail with chopsticks and put it in your mouth, the crispy tail of the fish that is specially fried makes a crunch sound, and you can chew the bones directly.
The crunching sound when chewing reminded Lin Su of his long-sealed memory.
When Lin Su was young, the conditions at home were not very good, and in his childhood memories, except for carp during the Chinese New Year, he usually ate the kind of narrow ribbon fish less than two fingers wide. Every time my mother cooks fish, she deliberately fries it so that she can tear off the fish one by one and put it in Lin Su's bowl.
The crispy fish tail fried every time he made hairtail was Lin Su's favorite, and any snack when he was a child didn't seem to be as delicious as the fish tail with only one section of each fish.
Later, the conditions at home improved, and there were more tricks for making fish, but for a long time, Lin Su still only ate hairtail.
Perhaps these fried hairtails made by Lin Su are not delicious to others, but for Lin Su, they are incomparable to other foods, because this dish represents a good memory throughout his childhood.
"I'm going to make this dish a fish dish on my full menu. Lin Su silently made a decision.
The reason why people order their own full menu is because they want to record the delicious food that has a special meaning for them, and the ingredients that enter the full menu may not be of a high level of capture, but it will definitely bring you a special feeling.
