Chapter 391: It's a Secret!

It's just that this old man is probably going to be disappointed, because at this time there is not a restaurant like that in the whole country. The so-called food is just a trick played by the foreigners themselves, and none of the mainland delicacies are on the list.

For those people, although the oriental food is beautiful and delicious, they are not used to it, so they will not judge the food here. That thinking won't change until more than a decade later before it appears on that list.

And what some people think is that there are restaurants in the mainland is actually just an opportunity to hype, but as far as Zhang Tao knows, this is not the case.

The two that those people are talking about are just branches that have won the title abroad, and the remaining Western restaurant is just a restaurant opened by a chef who worked in another restaurant that has won the title.

Despite this, these two places still attract countless people, as if the things there have really become fairy delicacy, and they have become the best places for countless TV and movie coercion, in fact, that's it.

Zhang Tao: The all-cow banquet they attended was in the small hall on the third floor, which was a completely different concept from the first and second floors. It's not usually very open, and the old man told everyone about it and went to the kitchen to get ready.

At this time, the manager of the hotel followed the position of the old man to introduce to everyone, for the display of the day, the old man began to be busy from the day before, and the cattle were all killed to prepare for this whole cattle banquet.

The manager of the hotel also did not forget to introduce the breed of beef in the whole beef banquet, which is a high-grade breed of beef that has just beaten Kobe beef.

With the introduction of the hotel manager, the old man commanded a few helpers to push over the beef head meat that had just been cooked with secret seasonings and happened to be freshly cooked.

The people in the hall smelled the mouth-watering fragrance from a distance, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. I couldn't help but look forward to the dishes that came up, and the smell alone made my mouth water, and I didn't know what it would feel like to eat it later.

The quick-eyed old man quickly cut the beef face meat, beef ear root meat, beef eyes, and beef tongue into thin slices, and then placed them on the clean cow head skeleton one by one, and gave this dish a resounding dish name - Niu Qi Chaotian.

After this bull dish was put on the table, the people who invited it didn't care to appreciate its "domineering" shape, and couldn't wait to grab a few pieces and put them in their mouths to taste, each piece was so tender and moist, which made people's lips and teeth fragrant.

"It's worthy of the old man's elaborate things, this thing is so delicious, it's not in vain that I flew all the way to eat this meal."

Similar compliments have not been interrupted, and there are voices in other foreign languages in between. At this time, no one cares about their identity anymore, the people who come here are diners, a group of delicious guys, they only have food in their eyes.

It's a pity that the weight of a bull's head is a little less, but there are fifty people in this hall, and the things that come up are eaten clean by the people in the hall twice.

"The flavor of beef head meat is very good, in addition to cold cutting, it can also be braised and made into iron plates, etc., but the process is more annoying." The old man looked at everyone's eating and introduced it to everyone with satisfaction.

After the hotel buys the whole cow, it has to be sawn off, scraped clean with a knife, and then the whole cow head is put into a large pot and simmered for six or seven hours.

After taking it out, it is divided into orders and materials, and the cow face, cow ear root, and cow eyes are removed one by one, and the shape of the cow's head is maintained, which requires excellent eyesight and hand strength, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach this level.

"The quality of the meat on each part of the cow's head has different requirements for the heat, and the maturity of the cow's face and the cow's eyes are different when it is heated."

The old man continued to introduce, although he knew the essentials of cooking many years ago, but it took years of research to make every piece of meat on the cow's head so tender.

It's just that he didn't have the conditions to make this banquet on the Xiangjiang side before, and there were no such rich resources there. And the beef over there is not as good as the beef here, and it's not as fresh as here, and it's all frozen meat imported from other places.

And here you can directly kill and cook, or high-end beef. With the unique seasoning here, now he finally has the opportunity to show his skills, and he still spent more than a year to prepare, and the difficulty of this banquet can be imagined.

"From the cow's head to the ox's tail, from the cow's eyes to the cow's hooves, from the beef, the bones to the cow's water, every part of the cow's body, through our creative cooking of color, aroma, taste, shape, name, cooking, utensils, etc., is a unique taste of the dish."

While the old man was talking, a steaming pot of beef trotter soup was pushed over by the people in the kitchen. In the white and thick soup, there are a few cut and boiled cow hooves, sprinkled with green onion leaves to make people's mouths water.

A few of the cow's trotters were stewed to a crispy crisp, as if all the gum had melted into the soup, and the soup had become thick and mellow. As soon as the soup was served, someone gave everyone in the hall a bowl.

The people present immediately couldn't wait to put the bowl into their mouths, probably because of too much collagen, and when they drank it, it made people feel sticky between their lips. The tip of the tongue begins to "dance", and a rich aroma reverberates between the mouths.

"Don't look at the soup is delicious, but it doesn't add any food flavorings. It's just that the water in which the soup is boiled is the natural spring water here, and the ingredients are also natural ingredients here, and the original intention of this dish is to restore the taste of the ingredients themselves. ”

To enjoy this delicious taste, it also takes a lot of effort. The old man couldn't help but lick his lips after seeing the people around him drink the soup in the bowl, and he was very satisfied, this was the scene he wanted to see the most.

"It takes about a whole day to make the beef trotter soup in three steps. First put the fresh cow's hooves into the water, stew for three or four hours, then take them out, remove the shell and trim the hair, then split them from the middle of the cow's hooves to remove the smell, and then put them in the water and stew for three or four hours. ”

"Stewed beef trotter soup is best simmered in a large pot. When the heat arrives, the stewed soup will freeze even in summer, and it will freeze after cooling, and the nutritional value is very high. ”

The old man's statement is not an exaggeration at all, but the nutritional value of beef, including beef hoof soup, has long been determined, there is a saying in ancient times that "beef replenishes qi, and the power is the same as astragalus", and Zhang Tao is the yellow beef here in their town is even more high-quality.

According to nutrition experts, beef is characterized by less fat and coarser fiber, high protein content, and high fat-soluble vitamins that are easily absorbed by the body.

"In fact, different parts of the cow not only taste different, but also have their own nutritional value." Speaking of these, the old man is like a few treasures, such as beef tendon, which is very high in protein, and it is used to make soup for beauty and beauty, and the taste is smooth and tender.

Then all the delicacies of the various parts of the cow that had been prepared in advance were served, and the eyes of the people in the whole hall were straightened. Even Professor Zhang, who has always been not very picky about food, can't take care of his image at this time, let alone others.

And the Westerners in the crowd were also amazed when they saw this, they had never seen so many delicacies from a cow to make, and each one was very delicious.

"Old man, don't say anything, I'll be the first to order a table of all-beef banquet, it's hard for you, the price is up to you, and the time is up to you."

Compared with the others, an old man who was a little older was the first to eat and ran to the old man to discuss.

Seeing this, the other people immediately gathered around, how could such a delicious thing be without them. Fifty people eating a whole cow is an exaggeration, but in fact they don't eat much beef.

Although it is called a whole beef feast, it is just to make every edible part of the cow out and make it into a delicacy, not to make all the whole cow.

A cow weighs five or six hundred catties, and after all of it is done, the fifty people here will definitely not be able to eat it all, that is, it is too wasteful, so the whole cattle banquet here is only a part.

"Brother, I knew you would be the first to come and ask me. It's just that this whole cattle banquet is really not good, not because of people, but because there are few cows. ”

After the old man was stopped, he immediately smiled bitterly, "This kind of cattle, now there are only more than 400 in the whole town, and this still counts all the underage calves." ”

"It's very difficult for me to get two whole cows in a year, so you can get one by yourself, what about the others? I suggest you better put it together, and even then, you'll have to wait for years. ”

The old man's voice was not small, and everyone else heard what he said. It's just that this old man's words did not dispel these people's love for this all-cow feast, but made the light in these people's eyes even brighter.

The all-beef feast, which can only be eaten once a year, can be extremely nostalgic when you think about it, and you can't waste this opportunity.

Zhang Tao and Professor Zhang Lao don't understand the behavior of those people, for the two of them, no matter how delicious this thing is, it's just food, is it used like this?

But they are not gourmets, nor are they pure foodies, and they can't understand the mood of these foodies. The mentality of them after encountering their favorite food is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and they are willing to spend as much as they want.

"The number of cattle in the town will be doubled next year, and it will not be difficult to supply a large amount of such beef in the future, these people will have to wait for a few years, there is no need to fight like this now......

After Professor Zhang and Zhang Tao walked aside, the old man couldn't help but express his opinion, but was quickly interrupted by Zhang Tao, and then looked at the others like thieves, and relaxed when he saw that no one noticed this.

"Old man, this is a trade secret, you must not say it casually, it will not be so valuable after you say it!" Zhang Tao explained to Professor Zhang with a nervous face, this thing is really a secret! You can't just reveal it.
