Chapter 186: Lotus Root Wonton
The girl named Qing'er listened to the old man's lecture, and she didn't get angry, she grinned and said: "It's all those villains who they brought on themselves, how many times have they been taught, they still come to find trouble, and they will only beat them more ruthlessly in the future." ”
This group of red-haired young men were beaten to the ground, barely stood up, and scolded: "Okay, old man Liang, you remember, next time you come back, we won't let you go so easily, offended the Ding Man Imperial Chef of the "Chef God Hotel", there are times when you are afraid." "It's like being beaten to the ground and not yourself.
Zhao Zixian smiled: "Kitchen God Hotel? It's kind of interesting. "I thought to myself that the red-haired bastard just now wanted the recipe for taro carp, could it be that this old man is a master of cooking? But I didn't care, the carp is an ordinary fish after all, can it still be delicious if you make it again?
I happened to be a little hungry, so let's go in and eat something, and by the way, inquire about the news of Hengshan Wood Spirit Ginseng.
As soon as her foot collapsed into the wonton shop half a step, the girl lifted the curtain from the back room, stared at Zhao Zixian, and saw that it was not the gangster who had just come to make trouble, so she went in again.
The old man was still wrapping the wontons slowly, and when he saw Zhao Zixian coming in, he said hello: "Young man, eat wontons." ”
Zhao Zixian himself was more respectful of the old man, plus he was ready to ask others for news, and the girl was too violent, so he said respectfully to the old man: "Well, old man, bring me a bowl of wontons." ”
The old man has always bowed his head to make wontons, only knew that a young man came in, and he didn't care much, when he heard Zhao Zixian's voice with such respect, he raised his head, and saw that this young man was full of good, and his mood was much better, he had lived in this town for most of his life, and he had seen a lot of hooligans and bullies, and he really didn't see many guys who knew how to respect the elderly.
So he smiled and said, "Okay, young man, wait a minute, and I'll be here soon." ”
Zhao Zixian sat fine, just looked around, there were four or five chapters of the table in the shop, clean and clean, but there was no post on the wall saying that there was a fried vegetable for sale, but the group of hooligans obviously asked the old man for the recipe for taro carp, and took a closer look, not to mention stir-frying, not even cold dishes, there were a few big characters on the wall, and there were thousands of miles of fragrance.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw this, because Zhao Zixian had a very famous singer when he was in school, named Jay Chou, and he had a song called "Qili Xiang", Zhao Zixian always felt that this song was about singing wontons at that time.
After a while, the ravioli was ready. The girl came out and served the wontons to Zhao Zixian, and when she put it down, she looked at Zhao Zixian twice.
Although it is said that the biggest problem in Zhao Zixian's life is that he likes beautiful women, but there is food in front of him, and he is so hungry that he is hungry, how can he still have the kung fu to look at beautiful women. It is said that it is full of warmth to think about that, and it is really a wise saying.
This wonton is very fragrant, the skin is thin and filling, bite into it, a full bag of meat filling will be scattered, with the seaweed and shrimp in the soup, it is really delicious in the world, but it still seems to be missing a little bit of taste.
After drinking, Zhao Zixian sighed: "It's a pity." ”
The old man was still smiling just now, but when he heard this, his face was unhappy, "What? Isn't my ravioli tasty, boy? My wontons have been sold in the town for decades, and the whole town knows the taste of my wontons, and there are often big people in the provincial capital who come to me by car to eat. He said with a proud look on his face.
Zhao Zixian said again: "The taste is indeed good, but it's a pity that it's ......" Zhao Zixian made a bad move, and deliberately said half of the words without finishing it.
The old man was really fooled, and asked anxiously: "What is the pity?" ”
At this time, even the violent girl came out, she was very satisfied with her grandfather's wontons and her own craftsmanship, everyone ate this wonton and praised it deliciously, when did anyone accept something that was not delicious.
Zhao Zixian said: "It's a pity that there are too many......"
The old man couldn't understand this, so he had to ask again: "Too much?" What is too much? ”
Zhao Zixian said slowly: "There is too much meat." ”
The violent girl kept her face stiff just now, thinking that this wouldn't be another one to make trouble, who knew that Zhao Zixian said such a sentence. The young man laughed out loud at that time: "This gentleman is really strange, when others eat in restaurants, they all have less meat, how can there be more meat?"
Zhao Zixian only said half a sentence, which made the old man angry and anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Young man, then tell me, how can it be a pity if there is too much meat?" ”
Zhao Zixian said slowly: "Our Chinese country is rich in resources, this wonton was the earliest snack in Guangzhou, Guangzhou people like to eat seafood the most, wonton is no exception, the earliest time was invented by the fishermen who fished in Guangzhou, the wonton should be mixed with pork and shrimp meat into a filling, and then mixed with eggs, green onions, ginger and garlic into the end of the seasoning, the soup should use good chicken soup, with shrimp skin seaweed, to bring out the taste of seafood. ”
The violent girl listened to it with relish, and the old man raised his eyebrows: "What, you also know how to cook?" ”
Zhao Zixian didn't answer, and continued, "But, old man, of course your meat filling is delicious, but there is no shrimp meat in the meat filling, only pork, the aroma of pork is strong, and there is no shrimp meat seasoning, and the pork is put too much, and the thick pork fragrance takes away most of the seafood delicacy of the seaweed and shrimp skin in the soup, this wonton is delicious, but there is no refreshing and pleasant fragrance of seafood, you can only eat the strong aroma of pork, so what's the difference with dumplings?" ”
The old man was taken aback, Zhao Zixian said that his wontons were the same as dumplings, and he was not angry, he never thought that this young man was so powerful, he could taste any meat in the filling, and looked at Zhao Zixian's dress, he thought that he was a foodie who traveled everywhere, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was the only champion of the Taishan Golden Family Kitchen God Competition for decades, and he was the successor of the God of Cooking.
The old man's face turned red and white, why didn't he understand these truths, but said helplessly: "That's what I said, but where can I buy fresh shrimp in our place?" Are they all river shrimp and water shrimp? Artificially fed feed breeding, the taste has changed by half, with this shrimp meat, but the taste is worse, so with pork I choose the best pork, to ensure that the meat is fresh and fragrant, this is also no way. ”
Zhao Zixian smiled respectfully: "Old man, I have a way now." ”
The old man was happy when he heard this, but he didn't believe it too much, even if this person had eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas from the north and south of the river, the difference between eating and cooking was too big, so he asked coldly: "There is no shrimp meat in our town, what can you do?" ”
Zhao Zixian said: "Lotus root." ”
The old man also repeated: "Lotus root? ”
"Yes, the lotus root is fragrant and elegant, the taste is sweet, when making seafood, put in the lotus root powder, it can taste more fragrant, so that the fragrance of the seafood is greatly increased, old man, you can reduce the amount of pork, cut the lotus root into fine pieces, and mix it with pork. You'll know the effect. ”
The violent girl jumped up and said, "The lotus root is sweet, doesn't it affect the taste if you put it in?" ”
Zhao Zixian smiled again: "When Guangzhou cuisine stir-fried meat, it is always put in sugar, not only will not affect the taste, but also make the meat more delicious, lotus root not only has this effect, the main reason is that he is aquatic, when he encounters seafood, it can play its role more, and the taste of seafood is more intense." ”
At that time, the old man asked the girl to go to the market and sell a few lotus roots, and when she came back, she washed them, cut them into powder, mixed them with the original filling, and made a pot of wontons.
Serving a bowl, the violent girl, I went to eat a big bite first.
Then the old man didn't move his chopsticks and asked her, "Qing'er, how does it taste?" Qing'er? This girl, why didn't she reply to her grandfather's words. ”
Qing'er's eyes became the shape of a heart, as if she was in a daze, and it took a long time to react: "Oops, I felt like I jumped into the sea just now to swim, surrounded by small fish and shrimp, I swam and swam, the sea is so big, I can't swim my head, I just lie on the surface of the sea and fall asleep." ”
The old man also moved his chopsticks to eat, and sure enough, the taste was like being in the sea, he grew up by the sea when he was a child, and he hadn't been back for decades, when the two lines of tears were about to gush out, he desperately held back, and then admired Zhao Zixian so much that he couldn't care about his identity, and thanked Zhao Zixian again and again, and said that there was a place to go in Hengshan, and if there was anything I didn't understand, as long as I said it, the old man would do it immediately.
Zhao Zixian said: "Old man, I am a young descendant, how dare I trouble you, old man, but I came to Hengshan Town to find an object, I don't know if the old man knows." ”
The old man didn't say that Zhao Zixian was inquiring about the object at this time, what kind of object did he want, he wanted his granddaughter Qing'er, and he might give it too. He said again and again: "Young man, you can say it, but whatever the old man knows, I will tell you the truth." ”
Zhao Zixian said: "I came to find a treasure, it is a rare medicinal material, called Wood Spirit Ginseng. Zhao Zixian said that the spirit ginseng is a medicinal material, but it is not intentionally concealed, the spirit ginseng is similar to the medicinal material, and he told the old man that the spirit ginseng is the true qi left in the mortal world when the kitchen god ascended to immortality, and he is now the successor of the kitchen god, to find five spirit ginseng, and finally he has all the aura of the kitchen god, and the old man is estimated to treat him as a nervous disorder.
The old man stroked his beard and thought about it seriously: "Wood Ginseng, hey, I'm sorry, young man, you have helped me so much, but I can't help you even if I ask for news, I really haven't heard of this object." ”
Zhao Zixian was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do, he could see that the old man was really helping himself, and he didn't hide anything, so he said: "It's okay, old man, then I'll find it myself." ”
Just as he was about to go out, the old man called out to Zhao Zixian again, and said with a smile: "Young man, although I don't know what you are talking about, but I know that there is a place, where there are rare treasures, you can go and see it, so you don't know the road when you first came, so let Qing'er accompany you." ”
