Chapter Forty-Eight: The Best in the World
Wei Qing's movements were still quite neat, and in less than three minutes, he returned to the stove with a black jar.
"Mr. Tang, you want royal jelly!"
Wei Qing handed the black jar to Tang Qi.
Tang Qi took the black jar and shook it twice before lifting the lid.
Royal jelly, unlike honey, does not have such a strong aroma, only a faint floral scent.
Wei Qing leaned over and glanced at the jar, and said curiously, "Mr. Tang, why is this royal jelly white?" Is it broken? ”
Tang Qi said with a smile: "Royal jelly is not so easy to spoil, it is mainly divided into many types, the royal jelly collected from rape flowers and condensed is called rape pulp, and the powder condensed from black locust flowers is called black locust pulp."
Different kinds of royal jelly have different colors, like the can of rape pulp in my hand, which is white itself! ”
Wei Qing said suddenly: "So that's the case, I thought the color of royal jelly would be the same as honey!" ”
"Basically, only the color of milk vetch pulp is the same as honey, which is pale yellow, but there are relatively few milk vetch pulp on the market, and most of them are black locust pulp!"
Tang Qi said, picked up the black pot and poured half a bowl into the clay bowl for backup.
Wei Qing looked at the snow-white rape pulp in the bowl, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said, "Mr. Tang, this royal jelly ...... Is it delicious? ”
Tang Qi touched his chin and said, "It's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's really that kind of ...... It's a very special taste, a little sour, a little spicy, you know? ”
Wei Qing was stunned: "What kind of smell is that?" ”
The people of the Han Dynasty did not have such food as hot and sour shredded potatoes, so Wei Qing was really unimaginable about the sour and spicy taste.
Tang Qi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you'll know what it tastes like when you eat it, you go back to the house and wait!" ”
Wei Qing sighed, turned around and walked towards the wooden house.
As soon as he took two steps, he stopped and looked at Tang Qi and said, "Mr. Tang, why don't you ...... I'll give you a shot, it's hard for you to cook alone! ”
Tang Qi squinted and said, "Do you know how to season it?" Will the fire be brought under control? ”
"Forehead ......"
Wei Qing smiled dryly: "I'd better go back to the house and wait, thank you Mr. Tang!" ”
After speaking, Wei Qing fled in the wilderness.
Tang Qi shook his head and continued to make honey white fungus.
There are two kinds of honey white fungus, one is made into soup and the other is cold salad.
When making soup, normal honey is used, and the taste is sweet.
Royal jelly is used only in cold salads.
The process of cold dressing is also very simple, just pour the royal jelly on the white fungus and stir.
The difficulty is to control the amount of royal jelly.
If you put too much and the taste is too strong, the white fungus is basically difficult to swallow.
If you put it less, the fishy smell of fresh white fungus cannot be concealed, and it is also difficult to swallow.
The honey white fungus made in many restaurants has a little brown, because the amount of royal jelly is not controlled, and the balance of sour and hot can only be achieved by adding vinegar.
Fortunately, Tang Qi has done honey white fungus many times before, and he has a lot of experience in controlling the amount.
Pour an appropriate amount of royal jelly on the white fungus and stir it, and the honey white fungus is ready.
In appearance, it looks like syrup has been poured on milky white fungus.
Because of the cold salad, there is no fragrance overall.
Only when you get close can you smell the faint fragrance of flowers.
Tang Qi picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.
Instantly, a fresh and fresh breath poured into the mouth, slightly sour and spicy, adding some layers to the originally bland taste.
"Perfect!"
Tang Qi boasted in his heart, and then put the honey white fungus aside, ready to make a second dish.
In the morning, you can't just eat a cold dish, it's too unfriendly to the stomach.
Tang Qi plans to make another finger cake as a staple for breakfast.
With the finger cake, it is naturally sour and hot shredded potatoes.
It took 20 minutes for the finger cakes and spicy and sour shredded potatoes to be ready.
Tang Qi put the three dishes on a plate and served them to the table together.
Sour and hot shredded potatoes Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu have eaten them.
As for the honey white fungus and the finger cake, the three of them saw it for the first time.
Liu Che asked curiously: "Mr. Tang, this snow-white dish is the honey white fungus you said?" ”
Listening to the literal meaning, you can hear that the white fungus must be silvery-white, and the finger cake is obviously not very similar, and the only thing that has a little bit to do with the honey white fungus is the snow-white dish.
Tang Qi smiled: "That's right, you can taste the honey white fungus first, appetizing!" ”
"Good!"
Liu Che agreed, and looked at the honey white fungus again.
When describing a dish, the words "color, flavor, and flavor" are often used.
Color is always the first thing people notice when they eat.
Especially cold dishes like this one, there is almost no aroma, and you can only look at the color first.
The color of the honey white fungus is very beautiful, and the trembling snow white fungus after clamping it is in stark contrast with the dark chopsticks.
The royal jelly on top of the white fungus seems to be dripping, which is very tempting.
Liu Che couldn't hold back his greed, and quickly stuffed the white fungus into his mouth.
First, there is a faint sweetness spreading on the tip of the tongue, and then there is a refreshing sour taste, which makes people open up their appetite at once.
After chewing twice, the texture is crisp and tender, and a little spicy flavor appears.
A simple cold dish with three layers of flavor alone.
Liu Che couldn't help but praise: "It's really a superb delicacy, worthy of Mr. Tang's hand!" ”
Wei Zifu followed and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, this honey white fungus has a soft and glutinous taste, it is simply delicious!" ”
Wei Qing didn't read much, so he couldn't think of any adjectives, so he could only praise it: "It's really delicious, the best in the world!" ”
Tang Qi smiled: "Since you think it's delicious, you can eat more, and when you finish eating this appetizer, you can try the finger cakes I made!" ”
"Finger cakes?"
Liu Che stuffed the white fungus into his mouth and said, "Is it this pile of scones?" The shape is peculiar, layer by layer, is it to be eaten by hand? ”
Tang Qi nodded and said, "That's right, grab the cake with your hand, put some sour and hot shredded potatoes into it, and then send it to your mouth, the taste is amazing!" ”
Liu Cheba smacked his lips and said: "Eating with your hands is a bit of a gentleman's demeanor, I still like to eat with chopsticks!" ”
Tang Qi pursed his lips and said: "As far as you are concerned, according to what you say, more than a billion people in India are not gentlemen?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Che's whole person froze instantly, and the white fungus on the chopsticks also fell on the table.
Tang Qi looked at Liu Che in some surprise and said, "Old Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Liu Che swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some difficulty: "Mr. Tang, I ...... Remember you said that 100 million is equal to 10,000 of my big man? ”
Tang Qi nodded and said, "That's right, it stands to reason that this is the conversion!" ”
