chapter 55
After playing around the amusement park and thoroughly experiencing a childlike experience, Louis took Si Nian to another place.
It's a small shop called a private petty official.
If you open the slightly heavy door, you will be able to see the lively scene inside.
The room was divided into two parts, one that looked like a normal dining room, and the other that resembled a witch's room, smoky and burning.
Probably seeing Si Nian's doubts, Louis opened his mouth to explain: "This is a very famous gourmet restaurant, the owner's family is said to have been engaged in the chef industry for generations, although after the interstellar age, the price of food has become expensive, so the number of chefs has decreased sharply, but there are many people who really love food, and they are still unwilling to give up." The emergence of the reverse world has opened up a new world for these special professionals, who have turned their attention to snares because they cannot afford to open physical stores.
"A private restaurant is one such shop. He has a wide range of chefs who can cook a variety of dishes for his customers, as well as self-service dining. This kind of buffet is different from the past when the ingredients are prepared and only used for self-picking, and it is a complete zào cuisine created with your own hands, so it is very popular with people.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten the food I've cooked every year." Louis pouted coquettishly, "I miss it very much!" ”
The corners of Si Nian's mouth were slightly hooked, and he let Si Nian take him to the part of the smoke and fire.
By the time they passed, the smoke had already cleared, and it was said that a novice had not mastered the heat so well that the dish was burned, which was why there was such a thick smoke.
Si Nian couldn't help but sigh at the reality of the reverse world, even such a reaction can be exactly the same as the real world, and it is no wonder that so many people were worried about the problem of indulging in it at the beginning of the creation of Zào.
Si Nian looked at the furnishings on the small table, and there was all kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Each table is a small counter, but looking at the modern ordering equipment next to it, it is a little different from doing it yourself.
He looked around, mostly young people were using it, probably thinking it was more novel and interesting. There are also some presentable-looking, according to Louis, who may have been apprentices who came here to practice their trades.
There is no need to wash vegetables or choose vegetables here, after ordering, the processed ready-made materials will appear directly on the operating table.
Luis ordered a black pepper beef tenderloin, and the beef strips that had already been cut and various sauces appeared. Si Nian added a little onion and green and red peppers separately, and chose the method of shredding.
Of course, Si Nian wouldn't let Louis do it, originally he said that he would give gifts to the other party, and besides, Louis's craftsmanship really couldn't be seen.
Si Nian marinated the cut beef with seasoning, and then he remembered something, ordered another bottle of pineapple juice on the ordering table, and dripped a few drops into the beef strips.
Si Nian is accustomed to stir-frying meat and vegetables separately, so that the taste between the two can be better controlled, and the beef will not be too old or the vegetables are too cooked because of the same time.
After the oil pot is heated, Si Nian pours the green and red peppers into it, stir-fry until it is cooked in seven layers and then drain it, then he cleans the pot, pours the oil again, puts in the beef and stir-fry quickly, and when the beef is almost fried, he pours the green and red peppers and onions into it.
Because onions are relatively easy to cook, they may be overripe if they are oiled with green and red peppers, but Si Nian still likes onions with a little sweetness, so he puts them in last.
Adding all kinds of seasonings, Si Nian stir-fried for a while before it came out of the pot.
His cooking level is average, and in the past, he can only be regarded as a boy who can cook, and he is definitely not as good as a housewife who has been cooking for more than ten years.
However, this level is much better than the average person in the store.
Even some of the apprentices around him stopped what they were doing and quietly looked at Si Nian's practices.
"It's been a long time since I've made a dish like this, and I don't know if it's okay, you can try it." Si Nian handed the chopsticks to Louis.
Louis took a stick of beef and put it in his mouth, the beef was tender but chewy, with a rich juice and the unique aroma of black pepper juice, which made Louis squint happily.
Needless to say, this expression alone made everyone understand his feelings.
The people around him began to swallow their saliva unconsciously.
Some customers who were still in high spirits, when they saw the finished products on Si Nian's side, and then looked at the works in their hands with light colors and ordinary tastes, they couldn't help but regret their original choice.
If you can make delicious food, it's okay, what you have in your hands is obviously average, it's better to eat the food made by the chef in the restaurant!
"Can I taste it?" A voice suddenly interjected.
Si Nian turned around and saw a fat man with a very "amazing" size.
Compared with the other party, Albert can only be regarded as a little fat, and the one in front of him is the real big fat man!
Dressed in a white chef's suit, coupled with a certain tall chef's hat, Si Nian and Louis easily guessed each other's identities.
Despite Louis's reluctance, Si Nian still allocated a little for the other party to taste.
It's not a valuable thing, and the other party put down his body like this and asked for it, Si Nian was really embarrassed to be stingy. However, considering Louis's thoughts, Si Nian did not dial a lot of past, and even so, it made Louis very unhappy.
Si Nian had no choice but to touch Louis's head comfortingly.
The other party didn't really eat like this, but he was just interested in seeing Si Nian's small way of dealing with beef tenderloin, so he didn't hold back and spoke. By the time he noticed the same gaze around him, he actually regretted his recklessness, but fortunately, Si Nian didn't care about it, and he resolved his embarrassment a little.
By the time Si Nian handed over the small bowl, he had already forgotten about these feelings, and only black pepper beef tenderloin was left in his eyes. What could be more important to a foodie than food?
He took a chopstick and put it in his mouth and savored it. The most qualified foodie, in addition to loving food, must also be able to eat, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, it is definitely a loss of face in the foodie world. Therefore he eats quite finely.
The reason why the private restaurant is so famous is only one part of the characteristics, and the most important thing is that the chefs in the restaurant are really good. And this big fat man who wants Si Nian and Louis to beg for food is the chef and owner of this restaurant - Xie Yu.
I heard that his mother liked to eat fish when she was pregnant with him, and his father made no money every month except for buying fish for his wife to eat, in order to commemorate this special hobby, Xie Yu's father gave him such a name.
Xie Yu is a natural foodie, and once you eat it, you will never forget the taste. As he grew older, he became more and more aware of food, and after eating it a few times, he was able to deduce the practice of this food, and he □□ not far from it.
At this time, after he tasted the black pepper beef tenderloin made by Si Nian, even if he hadn't seen the process of Si Nian's zuò, he could completely simulate it, and as for the effect of that bit of pineapple juice, he also knew it by heart.
The beef tenderloin is tender, but not completely chewy, and it is still tender with juice when you bite into it, and with a few side dishes, it not only looks better in color, but also has a refreshing feeling unique to vegetables.
The expression of the blonde child is indeed not exaggerated.
"Thank you very much for your generosity, I would like to make a few dishes for you to try to show my gratitude, and please don't refuse." Xie Yu said with a sincere expression.
Si Nian was about to say no, after all, his food was not a delicacy in the world, and he would eat it if he ate it, so he would thank him for it.
Louis grabbed him and said, "Okay, then let's go outside and wait." ”
What Louis said about outside refers to the place where you can order food and eat directly, Xie Yu naturally won't let the guests wait for him to serve the food here, so he swiped his right hand to the side, made a guiding gesture, and said, "Two of you, please, I'll let someone open a private room for you." ”
Louis was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this big fat chef was not an ordinary person here, you know, ordinary chefs do not have the right to temporarily open private rooms for customers.
Si Nian was a little uneasy, he always felt that it was too exaggerated to get such treatment with a little black pepper beef tenderloin, but Louis took the lead and walked over there, and he could only continue to follow.
At the end, he gave Xie Yu an apologetic look, and Xie Yu smiled and said that he didn't mind.
Si Nian and Louis didn't wait long in the private room before a few dishes were served.
Considering that only Si Nian and Luis had two people to eat, Xie Yu only made three dishes and one soup.
The three dishes are steamed pork ribs in bamboo tubes, boiled fish and boiled lettuce, and the soup is corn soup with winter melon and pork ribs.
As soon as the steamed pork ribs in a bamboo tube were served, Si Nian smelled a fragrance. Louis didn't wait for him to do it himself, he put a pork rib into his bowl, and Si Nian was no longer polite when he saw this, and directly started to eat.
The pork ribs in the steamed pork ribs in the bamboo tube are steamed softly, without any teeth, and with a hint of sweetness, mixed with the fragrance of glutinous rice and bamboo, there is no general pork ribs with personal greasy taste at all.
He has eaten a lot of boiled fish in the past, but he has never eaten something so impressive to him. The fish fillets in the boiled fish are particularly delicate and tender, but not easy to crush, eat into the mouth, with a unique spicy and fresh fragrance, the most rare thing is that there are no spines in the fish fillet, and I don't know whether this fish itself has no spines or the chef's knife work.
As for boiled lettuce, although it is a very ordinary dish, it is also the most difficult to make. The most important test is a chef's control of seasoning. When the seasoning is ready, it not only makes it taste amazing, but it is also very simple and convenient.
And this dish of lettuce tastes so good that it doesn't let the seasoning overpower the refreshing taste of the lettuce itself, nor does it make the taste too bland because you want to retain the original flavor of the lettuce.
As for the winter melon pork ribs corn soup, the refreshing soup is matched with the fresh aroma of the pork ribs and the sweetness of the corn, and then a little bit of winter melon's unique refreshing taste, eating a few bites of food and drinking such a soup is the most wonderful thing.
Si Nian and Louis were eating happily, and Xie Yu walked in again.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Louis said without raising his head: "Just say what you want." ”
