Chapter 110: Dog Meat Served
Liang Chuan picked up the red lacquered bamboo chopsticks in front of his position, sandwiched a piece of crystal shrimp, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, his eyes were still closed, just like a food critic, he fully felt the taste of shrimp meat in his mouth, and then with a look like I was about to start performing, he said: "Eat shrimp, pay attention to taste and sweetness." There are a lot of delicious river shrimp in Nanxi, this shrimp tastes sweet, but the meat is loose, these nine prawns are afraid that they are also transported from other places, but the road is bad for this seafood a fresh word. The tabby shrimp on Dongshan Island have a sweet taste and a firm and crisp texture, which is related to the environment in which they were raised. ”
Liang Chuan talked about eating shrimp, starting from the growth of shrimp, several people had never heard this kind of anecdote, and they were attracted by Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan continued: "The tabby produced on Dongshan Island in Longhai County can already be regarded as the best in the world, but there is one place where the tabby is more superb than that of Dongshan Island. ”
Zheng Zuliang said: "Is there any seafood that is fresher than the tabby on Dongshan Island?" ”
Liang Chuan said: "This is more, let me give you a simple example, at the estuary of some rivers in Lingnan, the tabby taste is better than that of Dongshan Island, which can have both the freshness of river shrimp and the crispness of sea shrimp." Eat tabby shrimp, to see the tiger stripes on the back of the shrimp, the deeper the pattern, the higher the quality of the shrimp, the shrimp people in Lingnan are no longer called tabby, called ghost shrimp, just because the back pattern is too deep, like a ghost. ”
"You must ask, what kind of shrimp like this will be the best?" Liang Chuan glanced at the three people who were listening. He said to himself: "Because the ghost shrimp here eat the sea shells and seaweeds that grow together, the sea shells and seaweeds, the pure natural seafood, coupled with the rough waves and the amount of exercise, so the ghost shrimp produced are unique in the world." ”
People with experience will be interested in going through, while young people generally like to pursue results, such as stones, what are these shrimp delicious and why are they good, he is not interested. He also sandwiched a piece of shrimp meat, ate it into his mouth, and it did taste different from the usual river shrimp, and asked eagerly: "You said for a long time, and you didn't say how this shrimp meat is delicious!" ”
What do you know, little brat? Liang Chuan slandered in his heart, and then said: "Eating, if it is just to satisfy the appetite, it is too vulgar, the mouth is satisfied, and the spirit also needs to be satisfied. Wine is character, you can see from the wine table whether you can hand it over or not, you can see a person's level background, this is a place to learn. ”
Zheng Zuliang knew that Liang Chuan had a bit of insight, his hometown had a lot of different places, and the method of making tea that Liang Chuan said last time made him yearn for it, but he didn't expect Liang Chuan to come at the dinner table! He knew that he had enough things to do, but he still listened to Liang Chuan's words about what shrimp was good and what ghost shrimp he said, and he listened to Liang Chuan's words to teach his son, and said with relief: "What Brother Liang Chuan said is extremely true, but it's a pity that my kid is still young and can't understand my brother's painstaking intentions!" ”
"That's what I just said, oh, now let's get down to business!" Liang Chuan continued: "There are three ways to eat shrimp that I like. The first is called drunken shrimp! ”
It's a bit famous! Will shrimp still get drunk? Since ancient times, only those who have heard of wine are not drunk and everyone is drunk, and they have not heard of drunk shrimp. The practice of this dish was unheard of, and several people's ears were pricked up.
Several people's expressions were slightly different, and they all wanted to know how this shrimp got drunk. Liang Chuan continued: "Eating shrimp is exquisite and fragrant, but today the chef of Master Zheng's family stir-fried it so deliciously, and he can't eat the fresh fragrance of shrimp meat at all, which is not advisable." Drunk shrimp, take the best Shaoxing champion red, cut off the shrimp gun, shrimp whiskers, shrimp feet, put the rice wine into the pickle jar, and then pour the rice wine, put in the pepper, ginger, green onion, soy sauce and salt, although the wine is sweet, but the live shrimp can not be drunk, it will be drunk to death in the pickle for a while, this is the drunk shrimp, you can taste the deliciousness of the fresh shrimp, and you can eat the sweetness of the first-class rice wine, which makes people have an endless aftertaste, and the mouth is fragrant! ”
Liang Chuan said that several people were stunned, and when their eyes were carefully observed, the throats of several people were secretly stirring. They don't know the taste of this drunken shrimp, but they know the taste of this high-quality Shaoxing rice wine champion red, Shaoxing people give birth to a son looking forward to high school, bury the rice wine and take it out to drink when the high school champion, this is called champion red, and it is difficult to buy champion red.
There is a raw material called chili pepper in Liangchuan dialect, Zheng Zuliang has only heard of pepper but has never heard of this thing, he doesn't know what it is, and asked: "I don't know what kind of crop this pepper is?" ”
Liang Chuan patted his head and shouted that he had leaked his mouth, this chili pepper was only introduced to our country in the Ming Dynasty, and now where to find chili peppers to make drunk shrimp for them, and hurriedly explained: "This chili pepper has a unique taste, and I have no cultivation in the territory, and I went down from Qingyuan County from the boat to the southeast to Luzon, where there may be this kind of product, but it is also introduced into Luzon from other places." ”
Zheng Zuliang was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that the Liangchuan brothers have been to Luzon Island?" ”
Liang Chuan waved his hand and said, "I haven't even gone out to Fengshan, how can I go to Luzon!" ”
Zheng Zuliang's vision is not in the small place of Xinghua Fengshan, on the contrary, he is a person with great retribution. In the early years, he had set his sights on the treasure land of Qingyuan, so he had also heard of the name of Luzon, but he didn't expect it to come from the mouth of a small farmer in He Lu so casually.
Besides, Liang Chuan seems to be a small person, he is not blind enough to really believe Liang Chuan's nonsense, a farmer can have these insights, then his Zheng Zuliang's ability to see people and look at people is not all in the dog's belly.
Zheng Zuliang thinks that he can't know Luzon Island from the book after reading the sage book for 20 years, Zheng Zuliang attaches more and more importance to Liang Chuan in his heart, and wants to match his daughter to Liang Chuan, but he spoiled this daughter when he was a child, and developed a pungent and arrogant temperament.
But this niece of his own, although Liangchuan has a family, but it is not just right, and the future marriage is also the son of a rich man in the surrounding counties, and he is very promising.
Don't look at Liang Chuan who climbed their Zheng family, take a closer look in the next few years, if you can be by Liang Chuan's side, I'm afraid that there is green smoke on the ancestral grave of their old Zheng family.
Zheng Zuliang tried his best to promote this, otherwise he would not support Liang Chuan so strongly, but his uncle was narrow-minded. The niece can see that Liang Chuan is a strange thing to live in, and takes the initiative to invite people to the house, Zheng Yiqian does not always look at others, in his eyes Liang Chuan is dog meat can't be on the banquet.
Zheng Yiqian snorted and said: "Shaoxing Zhuangyuanhong, have you ever drunk it, do you know that this wine can't be bought even if you have money, let alone drink it, you still want to use it to make drunk shrimp!" ”
The maid brought a few more dishes, a braised chicken nugget and a plate of carp, which meant good luck. There are also a few small dishes, the dishes are better than the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Liang Chuan family, I don't know how many grades, but compared to the delicacies of Zheng Zuliang's family, they are also a few grades worse.
When the new dish came up, Liang Chuan picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few delicate dishes and took a few bites, and stuffed them into his mouth, sure enough, the dishes made by the professional master tasted good, although the dishes made by Yi Niang were not bad. Liang Chuan was choked back by Zheng Yiqian with three words in a row, and responded: "That's, I haven't drunk Zhuangyuan Red either, I don't know what it tastes like." Besides, people who are not used to the taste of rice wine abound, and it is difficult for everyone to adjust it, and not everyone is used to eating this drunken shrimp. So, the second type is burning! ”
"As the name suggests, the shrimp is not processed, and the original taste is thrown into the pot of clean water to boil, and the fire under the pot should be boiled with fierce fire, and the shrimp can not be scalded in white water for too long, otherwise the shrimp will be old, so that the boiled shrimp can maintain the original flavor of the shrimp."
"It's as simple as that?" Stone asked, "I'll do it if it's that simple!" ”
Liang Chuan did not refute the stone, this is indeed the simplest dish, "Everyone can do it, but those who eat it can feel the difference." ”
"Finally, I will serve a dish of Yangzhou's soy sauce, add some Zhenjiang's aged vinegar, and marinate the prawns boiled out of the pot, that taste, tsk!"
A table of meals, Liang Chuan's chopsticks rained down, the other three people have not moved, it's not that they are not hungry, but although these dishes are exquisite, they are eaten every year, and they are all these things during the New Year's holidays, and they are tired of eating, and they are too lazy to move the chopsticks.
Listening to Liang Chuan's words, but they couldn't stop shaking their throats, and they had swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in their mouths, people are like this, eating in the bowl, looking at the pot, what they can't get, what they can't eat, is the best.
Zheng Zuliang is a literati from a scholar, the literati of this dynasty advocate the unity of heaven and man in their bones, the road to simplicity, whether it is the style of writing or the pursuit of art, the artistic conception is supreme, this method of cooking shrimp and Liang Chuan said before the method of boiling tea has the same magic. He closed his eyes and savored the cooking method, and finally shook his head and said, "The shrimp I used to eat was all in vain." The shrimp flavor is already very fresh, and adding cooking materials will only weaken the freshness of the shrimp, but will not add color to the shrimp. ”
Zheng Yiqian is a rough man, he doesn't understand how it can be delicious, you have to add a lot of sauce to the dish to cook, the taste will be heavy, it will be strong, the drunk shrimp must be delicious, such a blanching method, will it be delicious?
"Don't be in a hurry to sigh, this last way of eating even I have to sigh, that is really called the law of heaven and man."
Zheng Zuliang opened his eyes today, what Liang Chuan said in his mouth, even if he was bragging and lying, he felt that Liang Chuan was quite capable and could bluff him and his eldest brother into a daze, "Brother Zhang, don't sell Guanzi, let's say the last way." ”
"Eat it raw."
The three of them were stunned. After saying drunk shrimp and boiled shrimp in a row, the three of them were still looking forward to Liang Chuan being able to say how difficult it was to make it again, but they didn't expect it to be like this, even if they didn't have to do it, they just ate it raw? If you want to say that Bai Zhuo is already enough to save the guy, now even the guy wants to save it, what is the pot stove invented by the ancestors for?
Even Zheng Zuliang couldn't accept it now, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang Chuan, this way of eating... Haha, we don't dare to compliment it. Although the drunken shrimp is also raw, it is still accompanied by rice wine, just like raw snake gall with strong wine can enter the throat, which has nothing to accompany it, and it is eaten raw, isn't it Ru Mao drinking blood, which is no different from the beast? ”
Liang Chuan smiled in his heart, don't say you, I can't even accept Lao Tzu, this is a unique way to eat in island countries.
Zheng Zuliang couldn't help but sigh, these two people are on the same page, and no matter how strong he is to drink water, he is afraid that good people will not be able to do it, and he will end up with a bad reputation.
