Chapter 356: The Daily Life of Beef

Los Angeles, California, in addition to being the second largest city in the United States, plus the City of Angels, the Holy Land of Stars.

It is also the second largest place in the United States with a Chinese population outside of San Francisco.

A large part of the Chinese in the United States are actually Chinese workers who came from China during the development of the western United States.

Although they came to this strange country almost as 'piglets'.

Suffering from the eyes of the Americans, as well as unequal racial policies, they still survived tenaciously.

It has become the third largest force in the United States, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Chinese are the most numerous in addition to whites and blacks.

Unlike some people in China who fire map guns from time to time, most of the Chinese in the United States are still very united.

Of course, there will be some regional differences, the difference between the north and the south, but under the oppression of the two major forces of blacks and whites, they themselves still know that their lips are cold, and some people in China think that since these people have joined the nationality of the United States, they are not people from the imperial court, indeed, these people are indeed not from the imperial court now, but they are also descendants of Yan and Huang.

They also prefer to take care of their business as Chinese.

For example, Zhang Dehai, Zhang Lao's maritime supermarket, if you talk about a complete range of products, in terms of price advantage, he is not qualified to compare with Wal-Mart and other large supermarkets, but their business here has always been good.

Because compared to going to those large supermarkets to buy things, those Chinese people are more accustomed to coming to them to buy.

It's like today, Mr. Zhang's store in Los Angeles has just opened. There are some old people who are sloppy. Or some housewives. Carrying baskets into the supermarket, they picked up the fresh vegetables they needed for the day.

But after walking in, almost everyone saw a newly opened area.

The new display cabinet is much smaller than the usual place, and at the same time much more gorgeous, so that people will see it as soon as they walk into the store, which makes many people a little curious and walk over to take a look.

It turned out to be a beef seller. Maritime supermarkets also sold beef, and the price was similar to that of Wal-Mart.

But today, when they saw the beef, many people laughed or smashed their tongues, but no matter what, most of these people walked away silently.

Because in their opinion, this shop is not crazy because of the price of this beef. It's really a bit ...... It's too dark.

"Lao Liu, is your store going to be yellow? Do such a hammer deal, what kind of beef is this, you can ascend to the immortal after eating, and it is so expensive. Of course, not all of them were silent, and one of them, who spoke Shu Mandarin, picked up a piece of cow that weighed almost a pound and said with a mocking expression.

I only saw that the price on this beef at this time was indeed a little too black, and it would cost 450 US dollars for such a pound.

"Lao Zhang, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, look at that beef, is it ordinary beef?" Hearing his words, a middle-aged man behind the counter with the store manager's logo pinned to his chest couldn't help but speak, and the contempt in his eyes was quite thick.

"Isn't it just beef, what, you can really become an immortal if you eat it!" Hearing this Lao Liu's words, this man named Lao Zhang couldn't help but hesitate a little, and took a closer look, it was indeed just beef, nothing special.

"Say you don't understand, you really don't understand, don't you open a restaurant? This is the best breed of premium A-grade beef, do you know the Wagyu beef of the island country? The best Wagyu beef is the five-A grade, and this is the five-A grade, which is the best beef that can be sold in the world. Hearing his words, Lao Liu couldn't help but show off.

I didn't think at all, when he received the price of these meats yesterday, he was actually more shocked than others, this price is crazy, but the owner of the maritime supermarket, that is, Zhang Dehai, in order to dispel the concerns of these people, so each store gave five catties of meat for them to eat by themselves, and last night, they ate these beef.

The beef made with their rotten craftsmanship almost didn't let them swallow their tongues, and since that time, Lao Liu has been the most loyal supporter of this kind of beef, but unfortunately, this kind of beef is really not what he can eat.

"Is it that good? No matter how good beef is, isn't it also beef? Although I was a little confused by Lao Liu's mysterious thoughts in my heart, Lao Zhang's mouth was still very hard, and he looked at this piece of beef with a little curiosity, indeed, the layout of the marble lines on this piece of beef is very beautiful, but this thing is just like that, is it so magical.

"That's it, if you want to buy it, I'll give you a 20% discount, but that's it, you go back and taste it first, if it's not delicious, you come to me, and I'll give you a refund." Looking at Lao Zhang's appearance, Lao Liu smiled.

He knew that this Lao Zhang was the owner of a well-known Sichuan restaurant in the neighborhood, and in the world, where there are Chinese, there are Huaxia restaurants, although these restaurants have changed beyond recognition in order to cater to local tastes.

But there are also some people who specialize in making some orthodox Chinese dishes, specially prepared for those Chinese people and foreigners who like to eat this taste, and this Lao Liu's family is to open such a Sichuan restaurant.

According to legend, the ancestor of Lao Liu's family used to be a special chef, but as we all know, although Sichuan cuisine is popular all over the country, there is no Sichuan cuisine in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, and there is no one, so the special chef of Sichuan cuisine, in the late Qing Dynasty, was actually not very good, so later their family came to the United States and opened a restaurant here.

There is nothing to say about the craftsmanship, so this restaurant, after so many years of operation, seems to be one of the largest restaurants in Huaxia City here, and many Chinese people will choose to eat here.

Although he made a lot of money, he was not short of that amount of money, but he really had some excitement about the four hundred and fifty dollars a pound of beef.

Now hearing Lao Liu's words, after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth, out of trust in Lao Liu, and seeing his sworn appearance, Lao Zhang bought a piece and went back, ready to make it himself and taste it.

After buying hand beef and other ingredients, he returned to the kitchen, at this time it was still early in the morning, the land of Sichuan and Shu is known as the most casual place, people here like to sleep lazy, drink tea, play mahjong, and he is the restaurant of the people, most of them are also in the land of Sichuan and Shu, especially the back kitchen, people in other places can not make the unique hemp and spicy of that place.

When he came to the back kitchen, Lao Zhang began to prepare, this pound of beef, that is, more than nine taels.

He is going to make a cold dish, a hot dish, the cold dish is ready to be made into husband and wife lung slices, and the hot dish is ready to make steamed beef, although he also knows that this kind of best beef, in fact, is the best to eat raw and made into steak, but he has always believed that no matter what the dish, the Chinese cuisine, can put its original taste to the maximum.

In fact, to put it simply, it is the willingness of labor and capital, who cares?

Husband and wife lung slices are a snack formed in the land of Sichuan and Shu in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and the main ingredient naturally cannot be beef.

It is mainly based on beef tongue, beef heart, tripe, beef scalp and other sewer materials, but now, the sewer is more expensive than beef, and it is not easy to clean up, so basically the husband and wife lung slices are made of beef.

First, these beef are cut into thin slices, and then ground into seasoning with spices, salt, and peppercorn noodles, which are special products of Shudi, and marinated them.

After the fire boils, turn to low heat, stew the meat, then take it out to dry, then use some celery, cooked peanuts, etc. and put it together, add marinade, soybean oil, monosodium glutamate, flower noodles, chili noodles, sesame seeds, mix together and eat.

It's not too difficult to arrive, and it's a very delicious cold dish.

And steamed beef, it is not very difficult, after removing the tendon of the beef, cutting it horizontally into slices, put in Pixian bean paste, soy sauce, lettuce oil, waking groove juice, minced ginger, plus rice and glutinous rice, steam it for 30 minutes with a strong fire and then eat.

Of course, you can also add some chili powder, pepper powder, chopped green onions, garlic paste, and coriander.

Both dishes are very home-cooked dishes, and for Lao Zhang, he does both dishes well with his eyes closed.

But today he was very careful, because his ingredients were too expensive, and when he took the piece of beef out of the box, he was stunned for a moment, because there will be some smell on the top of the general good beef, but this beef, except for some fragrance, has almost no smell, and then when he cut it, he also found that this beef has no tendon at all, and there is no tendon at all.

But the meat quality is particularly firm, which makes him a little surprised, and it seems that there is a reason why this beef is so expensive.

Then he was going to make the couple's lung tablets first, because it would take some time to dry.

However, when he put the beef and the ingredients into the cauldron, the usual taste of the ingredients would definitely overpower the beef, but this time, suddenly, the smell of the beef rushed into his nose.

He suddenly understood that with this taste, this piece of beef was not expensive at this price.

And when he finished the two dishes and brought them out to enjoy, his eyes suddenly lit up......

The next day, when this Lao Liu opened the door of the store, he found that Lao Zhang was standing in front of his store with bloodshot eyes at this time.

"What's the situation? Kicked out by his wife? Looking at Lao Zhang's appearance, Lao Liu said with some surprise.

But his words were not, Lao Zhang did not answer him as usual, but directly pushed him away and ran towards the area, in fact, he was not kicked out by his wife, but he had been standing here for half a night, and what he was waiting for was the beef. (To be continued.) )
