There are different opinions about the origin of teppanyaki, the most widely spread theory is that teppanyaki was invented by Spain in the fifteenth or sixteenth century, because at that time Spain was developed in shipping, often sailed around the world, and the crew was accompanied by the sea all day long, because it was very boring, so they could only fish for fun, and the old methods of cooking were used up, so they invented a new method, and the fish was grilled to the skin and flesh tender, and then this cooking method was transmitted to Mexico and California in the American continent through the Spaniards. Later, the Americans introduced this technology to Japan and improved it, becoming the famous Japanese teppanyaki.

But this is just a legend, Su Miao doesn't care too much about where and what diet is invented, people's heads are similar, there are only a few brain circuits, and the ideas are naturally similar, there are countless places in the world where there are seas, and there are even more boring crews, because there are not a few people who are bored and start to create novel food, so Yue Liangguo is not necessarily no one who has nothing to do when he is idle and has nothing to do, he has a piece of iron plate to grill two fish caught, but he didn't hype it up.

For a chef, inventing a novel cooking method will certainly attract attention, but being able to make a dish that everyone knows how to cook is unique and unique, which is the mastery of a chef's craft, and it is also the most proud thing about being a chef.

The young man in front of him is obviously such a person.

From a close distance, this young man's appearance can be regarded as a combination of Chinese and Western, although the genes of foreigners are not too obvious, but this appearance is a little abrupt among the short and flat facial features of Yue Liang, and his hair is black. The skin is very fair, and it is as thin as paper, with deep facial features. With an angular face, about twenty years old, a high nose bridge, a straight nose tip, plump lips, and a straight figure, this is a handsome man.

In his left hand, he held a small silver shovel. Grabbing a small sharp knife in his right hand, he removed the bones from a piece of bone-in lamb leg roasted on the iron plate, but it still retained the shape of the lamb leg intact. Then he laughed and shouted:

"Roast lamb leg with black pepper, come on!" He speaks Middle-earth fluently.

He lifted it again and again with a small spatula, and a fragrant roast leg of lamb landed in a gorgeous parabola into the crowd, and landed unmistakably on the plate in the hands of a veiled girl in the crowd.

The girl only felt a sinking in her hand. Trembling slightly. The panic of worrying about not being able to catch being smashed has not faded away, and now because the fragrant leg of lamb fell on the plate in his hand, he was both excited and excited, and even his ears were crimson. Even if you couldn't see her face and knew she was laughing, she ran away with her plate in her hand, and came to the corner in the shadows, where several young girls peeked their heads out of the corner, and they laughed. The trembling branches have attracted the attention of many people, and it is estimated that a group of girls are shy. In the end, one of the bold ones came to watch, and the others watched from afar.

"It's the girl from the Qing family of Dali Temple." Liang Ao, who had gone to the toilet earlier, finally came back, stood behind the crowd of onlookers, glanced at the corner with his hands, and said.

Although Liang Yi also wanted to see the excitement, he was the prince, so he was embarrassed to squeeze forward; The aftertaste is not interested, he is only responsible for watching Su Miao here, and he doesn't care about teppanyaki or anything; Liang Chang is not hungry, so he doesn't want to eat; Liang Ao became a little absent-minded at this time, as a prince, he had never eaten any good things, and he was not interested in teppanyaki.

Su Miao is very interested, the teppanyaki is a lively and pleasant, when the delicious ingredients fall on the hot iron plate, the gluttonous sound from light to heavy, as the sound of the sizzle is getting louder and louder, the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, the fragrant fat slowly seeps out from the meat, falls on the hot iron plate, splashes of oil, those greases separate some heat, so that the ingredients maintain a stable temperature on the iron plate, not because the temperature rises too fast and burnt, the fragrant meat fragrance attracts people's index fingers, And when it is really time to be able to take a bite, the elastic and soft taste makes people want to swallow the tongue together, accompanied by the juicy delicacy that melts smoothly in the mouth, a wonderful feeling of entering the heavens, as if entering a bright and colorful world, everything is so pure and clear, the only thing that can be felt is the joy from the heart.

The red meat cooked by Aji is a highlight, but his craftsmanship is not limited to this, and the subtlety of teppanyaki is not limited to that.

The teppanyaki of later generations can be broadly divided into three categories from the practice, don't look at just cooking ingredients on an iron plate, this seemingly simple cooking method is actually divided into types, one is to marinate the ingredients in advance and then cook, so that the food fired is rich in taste, rich in taste, very delicious; The second is to cook the ingredients directly on an iron plate without simmering in advance, and occasionally sprinkle some ingredients during the cooking process, and they are mainly based on a single spice, wine or juice, and basically there is no time when all kinds of ingredients are mixed together and sprinkled on the ingredients for cooking. The main purpose of this kind of practice is to find the most suitable heat for each ingredient, and add a condiment that is most suitable for each ingredient, so that it can be cooked simply, but it can achieve the realm of "simple is classic".

The third way is not very important about how to deal with it in advance, this cooking method is after the fact, the taste of this cooking method mainly comes from the sauce dipped in, different barbecue ingredients to use different sauces, barbecue sauce, fish sauce, shellfish sauce, mushroom sauce, and various vegetable sauces...... Each sauce is carefully prepared by more than a dozen spices, these sauces are sweet and sour, or refreshing, or mellow, these sauces are carefully prepared by the chef according to different kinds of ingredients, these are cooking, but also art, can show the wonderful taste of the ingredients on the taste like a pipa half-covered, in the teasing of the taste buds of diners at the same time deeply capture the hearts of diners, Curiosity and anticipation make you want to explore this wonderful taste journey made up of tender ingredients and rich sauces that have been matured on a hot iron plate.

The three categories have their own merits, and Su Miao loves everything. However, Aji's cooking method is more inclined to the second method, where the ingredients are simply processed before cooking, without using any spices. It is completely the original taste of the ingredients, baked at a hot temperature on the iron plate, and underwent several rapid turning and raising operations, which stimulates the essence of the ingredients by changing the temperature, retaining the original tenderness and juiciness of the ingredients, and at the same time sublimating the taste. Occasionally, a few drops of juice are squeezed on top of the ingredients with fresh fruit, and the hot iron plate is struck by the cool juice. There was a loud sizzling sound, and at the same time green smoke was rising. Sometimes Aji also uses sake, when a pot of wine is poured over the grilled meat on an iron plate. In the midst of the aroma of wine, bright flames sprung up, and the blazing tongue of fire reflected a warm shadow on the wall, reflecting people's eyes. It was a spectacular scene.

Except for beef and mutton. There is another highlight of today's teppanyaki show, and that is seafood.

The people of Kosi are very good at making seafood, because Kosi itself is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and compared to Yueliang, they are located in a deeper deep sea, where the seafood is larger and more delicious than the seafood caught by Yueliang.

Of course, now when Aji is in Yueliang Kingdom, he can only use the ingredients of Yueliang Kingdom. However, this is Liangdu, and Baikuilou is the premier restaurant in Liangdu. The ingredients used here are not as good as those found in other places, and although the seafood here is not as large as that of Corsi, it is still a rare and excellent product.

Su Miao saw that the big squid was exuding a very beautiful fragrance on the iron plate, and several delicious oysters next to the big squid had already opened their shells, and the snow-white and smooth oyster meat was exposed in front of them, which made people swallow their saliva. There is also a steamed egg with fish roe heated on an iron plate, the fish roe is a bright orange-red color, dotted with a tender yellow steamed egg, supported by a delicate small shelf, with the temperature coming from the iron plate to solidify little by little, without using any spices, without any additional techniques, without any interference, just with the temperature little by little to solidify the egg liquid, little by little let the gradually solidified egg liquid wrap the smooth and tender fish roe.

Su Miao hadn't seen so much seafood for many years, and the only time she ate it was when she went back to Gan to open a restaurant and saw the big crabs they brought by the way, and this time she saw so much seafood, her eyes were green.

A maid with a tray approached, and on the tray were a number of crystal glasses, and in the glasses were rouge-like wines.

Su Miao's careful liver jumped more violently, took a shallow sip of a glass, although the honey-like wine is a little astringent and somewhat affects the taste, the brewing of this wine should only be at the intermediate level, but to be able to drink the wine that has been lost for a long time, Su Miao is still very happy, bent her eyebrows, and smiled like a flower.

Rare wild mushrooms, high-quality cowboy bones, tender lamb chops, rare lobster king, stone crabs, oysters, foie gras, only on a huge iron plate to interpret the flame in the "sword shadow", pepper, butter, salt is used to stimulate the appetite of the total seasoning, with refreshing wine and appetizing lime juice, that people can't help but cheer and jubilant pleasant taste is very good, the scene of the people do not know whether to be infected by the hot atmosphere or moved by the aroma of fiery food, one by one mood, excited, At this moment, people feel the vitality and vigorous spiritual power, the two most important and most easily ignored forces in nature, this power is powerful, positive, and exciting.

At this moment, a guy who had been giving Aji a hand suddenly shook a string of bells in his hand twice, the sound was not loud but attracted everyone's attention, and the crowd suddenly became quiet, which surprised Su Miao, who participated for the first time.

Immediately after that, the two maids spread a large piece of brand-new silk cloth on the ground in front of the iron plate support, and laid down a large piece, from the front of the iron plate to the outside of the circle of onlookers where they stood, a whole piece of silk cloth was enough to stand down twenty or thirty people, and when the silk cloth was spread, the people who had gathered together before actually dispersed cooperatively, and no one complained, and all the dignitaries present were above the second grade.

"What does that mean?" Liang Yi's eyes were full of curiosity and asked with interest.

As early as when the silk cloth was spread, they moved into the shadows of the lamp, not wanting to alarm the people who were having fun.

"Back to the prince, the lottery is about to start." The waiting maid replied with a smile.

"What lottery?" Liang Yi asked curiously.

"Back to the prince, every time I get to this hour, I will grab the lottery head, and the prince also saw it, Aji is directly thrown into the plate when he serves the food, so grabbing the lottery head is to prepare the best ingredients, Aji will throw it out after cooking on the spot, and whoever picks up the most wins. Because the ingredients used in this lottery head Baikui Lou are the best, Aji has also tried his best, plus the winner can also get a grand prize, so there are many adults who participate every time, and they have a lot of fun. ”

The maid didn't think there was anything, she just felt that everyone was happy to play together, but Liang Yi and Liang Ao frowned when they heard this.

Not to mention whether the game itself is interesting or not, a group of people grabbing food on a plate is a bit like a begging flower child, and these people who grab food are definitely second-grade officials with heads and faces and a prominent reputation, these people pretend to be high and high on weekdays, and can make these people who are majestic and majestic on weekdays grab food in front of them like asking for food, and I don't know if this is Aji's face or the face of the owner behind the scenes, or these people who grab things are not good?

Liang was puzzled.

But he couldn't ask people directly if there was something wrong with your brains, but he was very concerned about this matter, thought about it, and asked the maid:

"What's the jackpot you're talking about?"

"They are all adults with distinguished status, and Caitou naturally doesn't dare to be too shabby, it's a golden hibiscus cake." The maid replied with a smile.

"Golden Hibiscus Cake?"

Liang Yi knew about the golden hibiscus cake, I don't know when a group of idle dignitaries and nobles in Liang Du began to eat gold leaf cakes, among which the golden hibiscus cake was the most popular. Before the popularity of gold leaf cakes, gold leaf was only used for a small amount of medicine, after all, no matter how light and thin gold leaf is, it is also a heavy metal, as the old saying goes, "raw gold falls to death", so it seems that eating gold is not a good thing.

However, such an expensive, fashionable and adventurous leisure method is still very popular with those who have money and leisure.

About the Golden Hibiscus Cake, this is a kind of pastry exclusively for the major restaurants in Liangdu, and its supplier is a Golden House called the Golden Building, because the Golden Hibiscus Cake is a limited sale, with exquisite shape, meticulous workmanship, delicious taste, and the use of thin gold leaf as thin as cicada wings, bright and soft gold leaf, which is very popular in the aristocratic circle of Liangdu, and the situation of short supply has caused a box of Golden Hibiscus Cake to be worth a thousand gold in its heyday.
