Chapter 64: You're Insulting Us
"Mr. Li, where did you meet my Yaoyao?" Chang Xiao saw that the Wellington steak hadn't come up yet, so he looked at Li Mingzhi with a curious face and asked, in fact, he was really very curious in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"In country M!" Li Mingzhi had a look of pride on his face, it seemed that after studying in country M, he would be superior when he came back, but why did he only say the name of a country and not the specific place, but Chang Xiao blinked and skipped this question, anyway, it doesn't matter.
"Country M, then you must know a lot about Western food!"
"Of course!"
"Then I don't know, what do you think of the Wellington steak here? Little brother, can you feast your ears first!" Chang Xiao's face was envious, and that envy made Li Mingzhi's heart so cool! Unconsciously, he found that he was really more and more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Chang Xiao.
"What do you say?" Li Mingzhi seemed to be pensive, but he didn't know how to describe the taste in his heart, so he had to give an answer in the end, "This...... The taste of Wellington steak is difficult to describe in words, and the real taste has to be tasted to feel it. ”
"Oh?" Chang Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking like he admired it very much, but in fact, he secretly compared a big middle finger to Li Mingzhi in his heart, and it was a wonder to pretend to be a failure like you.
Fortunately, just when Li Mingzhi wanted to continue loading, the waiter had already brought three portions of Wellington steak.
Li Mingzhi said to Chang Xiao: "Chang Xiao, you eat and see, I am sure that you will definitely eat once and think twice." ”
Chang Xiao looked at Li Mingzhi, and instead of waving his knife and fork to eat the Wellington steak that he had never eaten before, as Li Mingzhi expected, he stared at the Wellington steak in front of him carefully and seriously, which made Li Mingzhi wonder, and even began to wonder if this kid had a problem with his head.
Chang Xiao sniffed the aroma first, but just this time, his brows were already slightly wrinkled, and there was a slight paste in the crispy aroma, of course, ordinary people can't smell it if they don't smell it carefully, but obviously Chang Xiao is not an ordinary person.
Chang Xiao picked up the knife and fork, the left fork and the right knife posture is very standard, it is not the first time to use it, use the knife to cut the puff pastry of the Wellington steak, revealing the beef inside, the color of the cut surface is slightly dark red, Chang Xiao couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, this Wellington steak He only smelled the taste and observed the whole dish, and he had completely lost his appetite for the Wellington steak in front of him.
Li Mingzhi on the other side was very happy to eat, and there was an expression of enjoyment on his face, Li Mingzhi looked at Chang Xiao after cutting the steak, he didn't move at all, and even put the knife and fork back on the table, he couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Chang Xiao, why don't you eat it with your hands?" I can tell you that if this Wellington steak is cold, the taste will be more than a little worse. ”
Chang Xiao's face suddenly became very serious, and he said lightly to Li Mingzhi: "Mr. Li, I said before that Yaoyao and I are very picky about food requirements, right?"
"Yes, that's right!" Li Mingzhi nodded, he didn't know why Chang Xiao said this, but he was very confident in the craftsmanship of this restaurant.
"Ah? I thought Mr. Li really wanted to have a treat, but I didn't expect that he was deliberately insulting the two of us, if your taste is only at this level, then I really admire you too much, just like this, you still dare to call yourself an upper-class person, then you are too embarrassed to the upper-class people!" Chang laughed and said a bunch of words, which made Li Mingzhi a little blindfolded.
"Chang Xiao, you can't talk nonsense, otherwise, even if my adults let you go a lot, the owner of this restaurant will not let you go!" Li Mingzhi said lightly, with a hint of threat in his tone, although he didn't believe that Chang Xiao could say anything meaningful, but he still didn't want to be variable.
"Of course, I won't talk about it, so I'll give you some basic common sense today, so as not to embarrass you in high society. Chang Xiao glanced at Li Mingzhi, who was embarrassed, and said slowly.
"Let's start with the Wellington beef ranking, the origin of the name Wellington steak is actually to commemorate the hero of the Battle of Waterloo, the "Duke of Wellington". The duke was so fond of this dish that it was named. ”
"Talking about his ingredients, Wellington Steak requires beef tenderloin and further on, bacon, mustard, eggs, fresh mushrooms, foie gras, puff pastry, olive oil, butter, renunciation, black pepper, garlic cloves. ”
First, mix fresh mushrooms, foie gras, and black pepper into a puree, stir-fry in a pot with olive oil over low heat, add brandy, put a little salt and black pepper, and put it aside to cool for later use. ”
"Then fry slowly in a pan with butter, sprinkle a little salt and black pepper evenly on the surface, and the surface will all change color, and the fragrance should already be coming out at this time!"
Then spread the mustard evenly on top of the steak while it is hot, and set it aside to cool for later use. At this time, use aluminum foil to pad the bottom, spread the bacon slices, spread the mushroom sauce that has been dried, then put the cooled beef, roll them up and put them in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes! Take out the puff pastry from the refrigerator 5 minutes in advance, put the refrigerated meat rolls on the puff pastry, cover it with another layer of puff pastry, then trim the edge with a fork, and then brush the surface evenly with egg yolk liquid, so that the appearance after roasting will be golden brown, which is very beautiful!"
"Before putting it in the oven, use a knife to make a few cuts on the surface, otherwise the puff pastry will burst and affect the appearance after being heated and expanded! Bake the steak in the oven at 400F for 30 minutes, until the surface of the puff pastry is golden and crispy, let it stand for 10-15 minutes, and then cut it and eat. The section of the grilled steak meat is pink. Chang Xiao said slowly, every character and every syllable clearly fell into Li Mingzhi's ears, making his face extremely ugly.
"Mr. Li, the Wellington steak here is not only not in place, but also the materials are not very complete, that is, the most important beef tenderloin has also become an ordinary beef tenderloin, after cutting, the steak section is dark red, and there is no standard pink, and there is a faint burnt smell in the aroma, obviously there is no doubt that this Wellington steak is a failure and can not fail again, you invite us to eat such a Wellington steak is clearly insulting us!" Chang Xiao said with an angry face, and Ji Yao beside him also stood beside him, holding his hand tightly, with a cold expression on his face.
Li Mingzhi looked at Chang Xiao with a pale face, he didn't dare to underestimate Chang Xiao anymore, at this moment he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal, he wanted to vomit blood in a depressed heart, his image in front of Ji Yao was completely ruined, and most importantly, he was nakedly slapped in the face by the ants in his eyes, it was very painful, and it hurt so much that he wanted to cry immediately!
