After eating a meal that was considered a celebration banquet, he first went back to the hotel to change into a dress that imprisoned the soul, and the middle-aged man surnamed Liu also finished his errands and came to the hotel to drive the two of them to Borough-Marke, the largest vegetable market in London.

Even though it's night, there are still a lot of people with different faces at the market, and the first thing that catches your eye is a variety of fresh mushrooms.

"These make a very delicious mushroom risotto with Parmesan cheese, which is vegetarian but full of meat. The enthusiastic aunt with big shoulders and round waist introduced with a smile.

Zhang Feng was a little confused, he didn't understand very much, most of the cooking skills in his head are still related to seafood, even if he usually sees a lot, plus some practice makes perfect, he can also make some ordinary dishes, but after all, he is still trapped in the circle of seafood cooking, and he can't be called a master.

"The number of guests is fifty-seven, right?" Zhang Feng confirmed.

Xu Jie nodded and said, "It's fifty-seven, plus me and you, Manager Liu, just sixty, the personal chef of the Hebrew Earl will help you, if you still need a helper, you can ask for it at any time." ”

"There are not so many people, at night, the British people's appetite is not very big, the amount is not too much, as long as it is exquisite, Uncle Liu, you go back to the car and wait, let's go shopping for a while." Zhang Feng said to the middle-aged man surnamed Liu, who had been following behind.

"Okay, I'm just a little tired, I'm in the parking area, if there are too many things, call me. ”

"Good. ”

Xu Jie's eyes suddenly widened, pointed to a stall in front of her, and said, "Pagoda-shaped vegetables?"

"Ask. Zhang Feng stepped forward quickly.

These pagoda-shaped vegetables, which are as pale green as spring shoots and grow like Fibonacci sequences, are called "Roma cabbage", also known as "Roma cauliflower" or "Roma cabbage." You can fry and steam, just like ordinary cauliflower, and the texture will be crispy if fried. The stall owner replied with a smile.

Zhang Feng really wanted to buy some and try it back, but considering that the past two days were not suitable, he could only apologize with a smile, but he didn't expect the boss to reply with a smile: "It's okay, you people are here to travel, take a look at fresh vegetables, and we should introduce you to them." ”

"Thank you, uncle. Zhang Feng was also happy to express his gratitude again.

When Zhang Feng was communicating with his uncle, Xu Jie had already moved to another stall, which was full of fresh spices.

"There are so many spices that remind me of an article I read before called "Scarborough Bazaar", in which the classic line "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" was "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme." ”

"Why don't you buy some?"

"It's good to buy something, I haven't figured out what to focus on, well, just some rosemary, thyme, ......" Zhang Feng probably had a direction in his heart, and began to purchase related materials, about a dozen kinds.

After buying spices and walking a few steps, I saw the favorite ingredient of the European people, that is, tomatoes, there are at least ten kinds of tomatoes on the stall, and the darker the tomatoes, the sweeter.

"Boss, come six steak tomatoes. ”

"This steak tomato looks like a big red lantern. Xu Jie couldn't help but pick one up and look at it carefully.

"These tomatoes are very soft and juicy, and they work well with red meat, and they can also be chopped and sprinkled on crispy bread, and topped with olive oil, minced garlic and sea salt, making a great appetizer. "The stall owner is enthusiastic about teaching how to make it.

Zhang Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Let's try it when we go back." ”

"But you buy a lot here, if you two people, you can eat several meals. "The stall owner is very bad at doing business, and he has his own way of making money.

"We have a lot of people, and we won't waste it. ”

"That's good, but you can't take it with you, if you buy something else, by the way, call a person to help deliver it, the price is not very expensive, just the people over there." The stall owner pointed a few meters away, showing half of his head, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and he couldn't tell the age of humanity.

"And this service, so troublesome. ”

Soon, a deal was reached with the old man who was a little drunk, and the price was acceptable, and then the two were followed by a small electric tricycle with the purchased ingredients on it, and the old man didn't say anything all the way, so he kept a certain distance and followed.

"Is that one something we've seen several times in the delicatessen?" asked Xu Jie, pointing to an ingredient that looked like a lotus flower.

"Like, ask. ”

"This is an artichoke, also known as an artichoke, which can be seen in most of our European delicatessens, vinegar-pickled artichokes that are often soaked in olive oil, and the fresh artichokes can be eaten after steaming for 20 minutes, eating only the soft parts under the leaves, and here, the hairy stamens need to be discarded, otherwise they will get stuck in the throat. The stall owner took the artichokes and introduced.

"Oh, this, there's it, come on some. ”

Stop and go, look at the shopping, see all kinds of pumpkins put together, feel the festive atmosphere, and the warm colors make people feel comfortable when they look at it. But in Europe, many pumpkins are not used for food, but for decoration, such as the pumpkins used for carving on Halloween, the taste is actually very bland, far less than all kinds of potatoes.

Especially when it comes to the British, many people's first reaction is that they only eat potatoes, eat potatoes in a fancy way, eat potatoes in different ways, and whatever they eat must be served with french fries, mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes...... But few people know that potatoes are also very diverse, some are rich in starch and suitable for making mashed potatoes, some are suitable for making french fries with less moisture content, and there are purple-black potatoes, not purple potatoes, or purple potatoes.

In the past few days, when I eat in a restaurant, I will be reminded by the waiter: "You forgot to order French fries." ”

Zhang Feng, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, refuses the waiter's kindness every time, causing the waiter to look at him abnormally.

I bought some potatoes and pumpkins, and saw all kinds of turnips, purple carrots, yellow carrots, red carrots, heart-to-heart radishes, which are a little shy in my heart, and mustard stems, the raw materials of mustard......

When chatting with the stall owner about carrots, he was surprised to learn that carrots were originally purple, but the flying Dutch cultivated orange carrots.

Then in the place where seafood is sold, I selected tomorrow's main ingredients, all kinds of seafood, Zhang Feng did not dare to take risks, during the safe period, he did not seek innovation, seek stability, just when the grocery shopping was about to end, he did not expect to pass by a truffle shop.

Truffles are used in London's fine dining restaurants, and the price is comparable to gold.

Zhang Feng didn't give up, asked a little, roughly calculated his mind, a whole truffle was expensive and pure gold is about the same, at that time the mental arithmetic turned into sadness, and finally chose olive oil and honey with truffle taste, which can also add a few wisps of unique aroma to the dish.

"Lao Xu, Ming, no, the latter, I invite you to eat this thing, don't eat itchy teeth!" Zhang Feng pointed to the truffle in the window.

Xu Jie thought that Zhang Feng's money was not enough, so she said, "The money is not enough, shall I pay?"

"No, no, no, it's a waste of eating this thing for those who meet for the first time, and ...... These are not fresh enough, so you have to buy them in the morning when they come in. Zhang Feng said with a smile, the expression on his face was very proud, and he seemed to have thought of 10,000 ways to eat.
