Huai City, De Juquan. Inside the Peony Hall......

Holding a knife and fork in his hand, it was not only the mayor of Huai City who was emotionally moved at this time. At this time, the guests at all three tables basically tasted this asparagus with sweet shrimp.

It's just a very common asparagus with sweet shrimp. There is no excessive flavor modification and no superfluous additions. When the two are combined, everyone seems to think it's a very humble dish. However, at this moment, countless people are falling for this "ordinary" dish.

"How so? How so? I've eaten asparagus with sweet shrimp! Base...... It's not that delicious at all! Lin Nuoya muttered in surprise at this time. The surprised gaze was locked between the sweet shrimp and the asparagus at this time, as if this guest from Uncle Sam's house wanted to unravel the delicious meaning from these two more common ingredients!

"Hmmm! It tastes great! Mayor Hou whispered a sigh of praise.

Mayor Hou himself wondered why these two relatively ordinary ingredients were so delicious.

"The natural fragrance comes from asparagus. But this asparagus is just a very common asparagus! If I had to say anything out of the ordinary...... Then, maybe the asparagus is more tender and of better quality than the common asparagus on the market. If you just rely on that, you won't be able to make this delicious taste! Lin Nuoya muttered something in a low voice. Subconsciously held the white grape dessert wine in his hand.

After tilting his head and taking a sip of the wine, Lin Nuoya meaninglessly forked another piece of sweet shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This shrimp might be better, right?" Mayor Hou muttered a sentence. The mayor's secretary hurriedly said, "Hmm! I've never eaten such delicious sweet shrimp. Why is this happening? Is the quality of the sweet shrimp selected by Li Gengxin unusual? Hehe...... This Xiao Li also has a heart. ”

Lin Nuoya glanced at the secretary who was talking and smiled. There was a hint of wisdom in those blue eyes. Immediately, everyone listened to Lin Nuoya say: "This shrimp is actually a very common northern red shrimp in Japanese food. It is called sweet shrimp because it is mainly produced in the northeastern part of the Sea of Japan and Hokkaido, so it is regarded as a specialty in Hokuriku regions such as Japan. As for the freshness from the color of this tail ......"

The knife in his hand gently flicked the shrimp tail he had just cut a few times. Lin Nuoya continued: "There is also the elasticity of this meat. This shrimp is indeed fresh! But why are tender asparagus and fresh sweet shrimp so delicious? ”

Lin Nuoya was puzzled.

Mayor Hou put the knife and fork in his hand to the side of the plate at this time, looked at Li Gengxin, who was looking down and didn't know what to prepare, and said, "Master Li, is it okay to ask you a question?" ”

Li Gengxin put the knife in his hand on the cutting board. Looking up at Mayor Hou, he asked with a smile, "Mayor Hou, do you have any questions?" ”

Mayor Hou subconsciously stood up and asked loudly at Li Gengxin, "Master Li, this dish is called asparagus with sweet shrimp, right?" ”

"yes?" Li Gengxin didn't know why Mayor Hou would suddenly ask himself such a question.

"Then can you tell everyone here why your dish is so delicious? Or how do you bring out the most amazing flavors in your ingredients? After Mayor Hou finished speaking, he subconsciously squinted at Lin Nuoya who was sitting beside him.

Lin Nuoya stared at Li Gengxin intently, with a strong curiosity on her face. It can be described as a classic allusion to Sima Zhao's heart, which is well known to passers-by.

Li Gengxin, who frowned slightly, groaned for a moment, he didn't expect Mayor Hou to stand up and suddenly ask himself this kind of question.

"Of course, if you don't want to say it, forget it!" Lin Nuoya saw that Li Gengxin was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly responded to Li Gengxin loudly. Although Lin Nuoya said that he didn't want to say it, he couldn't say it, but Lin Nuoya and the mayor of Huai City, and even all the guests sitting there looked at Li Gengxin with wide eyes.

Mayor Hou coughed lightly and asked Li Gengxin: "Update?" Isn't it convenient to say? ”

It will be like this, naturally because Mayor Hou is very afraid that Chrysler's duck will fly. In this way, you can please Lin Nuoya, and as a mayor, you naturally don't have to, but now the form is stronger than the person. For the GDP of Huai City, in order to introduce foreign investment. Mayor Hou has no choice but to fight!

Yang Hongli looked at the qiē in front of him, how could he not see what kind of flowers and intestines were in it. Although he felt very uncomfortable, and could even be said to be very unpleasant, Yang Hongli still sighed, turned his head and whispered to Li Gengxin: "Just say a few words." If it's not convenient, then you can totally ...... Look at it and say! ”

The meaning of these words is already clear. If Li Gengxin is unwilling to reveal the laughing secret of his own dishes, you can talk nonsense from all over the world. Look at the big guys sitting in front of me. Yang Hongli is convinced that there should be no one in ten who can do it in person!

Mayor Hou wants to come. The people present will definitely not run out to snatch Li Gengxin's job, everyone is just the little cat who was killed by curiosity. So? Ask Lee about the mystery. So. It's not so emotionally difficult to accept.

Mayor Hou squeezed his eyes at Li Gengxin, but the amount of information in these eyes was a little big for a while......

Li Gengxin thought about it, and out of the corner of his eye, he found that Yang Hongli was also secretly looking at him. And there was a hint of melancholy in that look.

After Li Gengxin was silent for a moment, he said loudly to Mayor Hou and Lin Nuoya: "Actually, cold dishes...... There is one detail that you should notice! ”

"What details?" Lin Nuoya asked in surprise.

"Cold cuts, naturally, are cold. And the mystery is naturally this cold! Li Gengxin turned his head and looked at the basin of water in his hand.

"Is that a basin of ice water? Be...... Temperature? Isn't that right......" Lin Nuoya's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of essence.

"Hmmm! It's the temperature. Asparagus and sweet shrimp soaked in ice water at around zero degrees Celsius. That's the secret of this dish. Li Gengxin finished speaking. Seeing Mayor Hou looking at him blankly. Li Gengxin was a little embarrassed for a while and explained a few more words: "Actually, you can imagine what the lobster meat will look like after soaking in ice water." That translucent lobster meat will turn snowflakes white, right? And geoduck will also become more brittle, right? The taste of black gold abalone will also be more elastic and q, isn't it? The same is true of this sweet shrimp.

A good chef must not only be able to control fire, but also ice! ”

"Fire and ice?" Lin Nuoya didn't ask Li Gengxin how long the sweet shrimp and asparagus would be soaked. I didn't even ask about the details of the dish.

It's enough to be able to taste it in ice and fire. Isn't it? (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
