Chapter 107: True and False Chili Peppers

Although Qin Shaoyou did not write the name of the side he thought was the winner, everyone present understood that in this cooking competition, Yang Huairen won with a score of 10 to 0. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The wonderful process and the perfect ending made the audience addicted to this cooking competition, and they all stood up and cheered, and the huge sound drowned out the sound of the prince announcing the results.

Yang Huairen did not show any particular excitement, but only bowed humbly to the audience who supported him to express his gratitude.

Wei Cai stood stunned, he had thought about 10,000 possibilities, but he never thought that he would lose to a fledgling hairy boy.

The 100,000 guan that he paid to Yang Huairen and Wang Ye before can't get it back, and he has to pay them 100,000 guan if he loses the competition, but these are no longer the problems he is worried about.

Only then did he remember that Yang Huairen, who was too lazy to take a look at it just now, suddenly reached out and grabbed it and stuffed it in his mouth.

After tasting his taste, when he raised his head to look at Yang Huairen again, the vision emitted from his cloudy old eyes was very complicated, making it impossible to tell whether it was pain or hatred.

The fish he made with the ancestral secret sauce is already a delicacy in the world, but it is a pity that the fish made by Yang Huairen opposite him, just like Qin Shaoyou's poem said, is a delicacy that should only be available in heaven.

The two of them also added their own secret sauces, but Wei Cai suddenly felt that the secret sauce handed down by his ancestors was just a joke in front of Yang Huairen's secret red oil.

He clutched the small bottle of his secret sauce in his hand and threw it out.

Yang Huairen had long been puzzled by Wei Cai's secret sauce, and seeing that Wei Cai was so angry that he didn't even want the things handed down by his ancestors, he squatted down and twisted some with his fingers to carefully identify it.

Since the ingredient of such a secret sauce is definitely not chili, what other plant in Song Dynasty China had a similar taste to chili pepper long before it was introduced to China?

At first, Yang Huairen searched in his memory for the ancient seasonings he knew when he studied the history of culinary development, but unfortunately, even if he racked his brains, whether it was Chinese origin or through the Han and Tang dynasties through the Silk Road from Arabia or the Western Regions, many things had a spicy taste, but the spicy taste similar to that of chili peppers was never found.

I remember going back to his time in technical school, from elementary school to junior high school, he was not the best in terms of academic performance, but when he went to the technical school to study the chef course, his talent in cooking was revealed.

Perhaps it is also because his grandfather and father were both born in the kitchen, he has been playing in the kitchen since he was a child, and he has been exposed to a lot of knowledge in the kitchen, so in the culinary profession, he has a feeling of being like a fish in water and a dragon into the sea.

Some of the basic skills in the kitchen that his father forced to practice since he was a child also shined during the technical school period, and when others first took a kitchen knife, he was already proficient in knives; When others didn't know how to make noodles, he was already able to pull noodles as thick as a hair.

The only course in which he and other classmates are on the same starting line is medicinal diet. Therefore, in order to maintain the pride of the top students in his cooking class, Yang Huairen really put a lot of effort into the course of medicinal diet.

Thinking of this, Yang Huairen suddenly realized, raised his hand and patted his head, and said to himself: "Stupid, brother even has a time when he is famous, and the raw materials that can be used as seasonings are not necessarily traditional spices, but also a kind of Chinese medicinal material!" ”

was slapped so hard, although his brain hurt, but this shot seemed to really shoot his brain, and he suddenly thought of what that Chinese medicine was.

"Xijing Miscellaneous Records" contains: "On the ninth day of September, Pei Zhuyi, eating canopy bait, drinking chrysanthemum wine, makes people live longer. ”

In ancient China, it was a custom for people in other places to wear dogwood on the Double Ninth Festival in September to miss their hometown.

Dogwood has a bitter taste and no spicy taste, but there is a kind of Dogwood produced in the Wudi generation in the south of the Yangtze River, the smell is spicy, and the fruit is bitter and slightly spicy.

When the ancestors of the Wei family fled to the south, by chance, they ate this kind of dogwood and corn together, and found that after the fusion of the two flavors, the bitterness was reduced, but the spicy taste and the taste of the fish were blended together into a new delicacy.

Later, they made this special Evodia into a sauce, and added a variety of other spices to further remove the original bitter taste of Evodia, and the spicy taste was more obvious.

After several generations of hard work, they finally developed such a secret sauce that can make the fish more delicious, as an heirloom of their Wei family.

After figuring out the reason, Yang Huairen laughed heartily, and said in his heart Wei Lao'er, your ancestors are really kind to your unscrupulous descendants, and have left such a valuable legacy, if it weren't for the existence of me, a traverser, your family's delicacy would definitely be the best in the world.

It's just that the "fake chili" meets the real chili, just like Li Ghost meets the real Li Kui, so he has to bow down.

Wei Cai was also puzzled in his heart, Yang Huairen's red oil was made of mysterious ingredients, and the hot spicy taste in it was strikingly similar to the spicy taste in his family's secret sauce.

But with the same spiciness, the spicy taste of Yang Huairen's real chili pepper is much purer, there are no other miscellaneous flavors, and the red oil fried with chili peppers does not need to add any other spices, and the taste is strong enough.

Wei Cai's sauce is complicated and cumbersome, and he has exhausted all his methods and used a variety of other ingredients to highlight the spicy flavor of Wu Zhuyi, but a lot of energy and effort have been wasted, but only a little bit can be obtained.

Wei Cai now began to believe the rumor that Yang Huairen was an immortal disciple, and he complained bitterly about the injustice of God, why Yang Huairen could have a natural talent for cooking, and there was also a fairy master to guide him, and his Wei family ancestor had exhausted his life, but he could never catch up with the seasoning of a fairy.

suddenly remembered that he lost the cooking competition, Wang Laohu of the Black Tiger Gang must have lost a lot of money in the gambling game, according to Wang Laohu's vicious personality in the past, he will not let him go easily.

Wei Cai thought of the safety of his two sons and fourteen wives and concubines in the family, and he didn't care about decency, so he hurriedly grabbed the door amid the cheers of the audience.

Jiawang Zhao Hao saw Wei Cai leaving in a hurry, and said in his heart that Wei Cai would not dare to rely on his Jiawang's gambling account, right?

So he turned around and gave Fan Erniang who was standing behind her, Fan Erniang nodded, and immediately turned around and led a few palace guards to follow......
