Wu Xiaoliu's ghostly wolf howl made Chen Dazhu and them very surprised, this bowl of soup looked plain, and there was no hot air, why was it so hot? This puzzled everyone.
"Brother Li, it's swollen."
Wu Xiaoliu gently stroked his red and swollen lower lip with one hand, looked at Li Qi with teary eyes, wanting to win sympathy, and saw Li Qi's extremely cold expression, with a trace of anger in his eyes, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Brother Li, why does this soup not look hot, but it is so hot when you drink it." β
Li Qiqiang held back a smile, then glanced at everyone again, and said: "There are two keys to this cross-bridge rice noodle, one is to make soup, do you remember what I used to make soup stock?" β
Chen Dazhu thought for a while and said, "Two strong hens, an old duck, as well as pork ribs and pig bones, first boil them over a rapid fire, and then simmer them over a slow fire." β
"Yes, yes, that's what I just wanted to say." Wu Xiaoliu nodded.
"Not bad."
Li Qi nodded and said, "You have to remember that two strong hens and an old duck are the best match, and the soup boiled out is also the most suitable for rice noodles, which makes no sense, and this is the case." In addition, chickens and ducks do not need to be boiled except for bones, and can be fished out as early as an ingredient, and the bones of pigs must be boiled out until bone oil is boiled. β
"Then why doesn't this soup steam hot?" Wu Xiaoliu said curiously.
"That's because I used cooked goose fat, and the oil floated on the soup stock to form a good insulation film, covering the heat, so you don't look like this soup is hot, but it's actually very hot inside, and Xiao Liuzi's mouth is also a good proof of this. As for why the oil floats on the top, you don't need to know why, the key is to remember that. Li Qi said.
Wu Xiaoliu covered his mouth shyly and said, "Brother Li, you won't do this to fix me, right?" β
"I'm not so bored anymore, if I want to fix you, just ask your uncle to smoke you." Li Qi glanced at him fiercely, and said: "The reason why I did this is because the second key to cross-bridge rice noodles, that is, the unique way of eating cross-bridge rice noodles, generally when we usually eat noodles, all the ingredients used are cooked and then put into the noodles, such as meat or eggs, but there is a disadvantage to this, that is, the umami of the material will be lost in the process of cooking, no matter how perfect your heat mastery, you can't avoid this, and the bridge rice noodles are different, the ingredients it requires are almost blanched with this broth." Including rice noodles, this is done to maintain the original umami of the material, and it is also very tender and refreshing to eat, which is why we asked you to cut all the meat into thin slices, because it is easy to boil, and the meat slices are not curled after being scalded in the soup. Not only that, but this can also diversify the taste of cross-bridge rice noodles, which is the same as hot pot, what you want to eat, how much you eat, you can arrange it yourself, it will not be wasted, and it is also very hygienic. You must have remembered that you should put in the quail eggs first, then the other raw slices, and finally the rice noodles, so that the soup is at its hottest to cook the hard-to-cook raw food. β
"Oh, we remember."
Wu Xiaoliu and the others nodded one after another, but at the same time, they were also very surprised in their hearts, it was just a bowl of rice noodles, and they couldn't imagine that there was such a trick in it.
Li Qi personally demonstrated how to eat rice noodles across the bridge, and after they all understood, he ordered: "Okay, notify Xiaoyu that it's ready to be served." β
In the hall, the saliva of those guests was almost dry, Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu simply played big guy 2, and there were many onlookers. Suddenly, a smell wafted from the kitchen, and then bartenders came out of the kitchen with trays.
There was an immediate uproar.
Those customers thought that the rice noodles were not much different from noodles, but when they saw the abundant food on the tray, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"This way, this way."
Gao Yanei relied on the fact that he had a lieutenant, so it was natural to let those bartenders give him first, but this would hurt Xiao Jiu, Hong Tianjiu used to drink a sip of soup before eating noodles, and he was more anxious, so after the female bartender just put the dishes on the table, he saw that the soup was not hot, so he wanted to drink some soup to warm his stomach first, and as a result, his expression was the same as Wu Xiaoliu of Fang Cai.
"Ouch, this soup is weird." Hong Tianjiu jumped behind him and roared.
His surprise also attracted the attention of the other guests.
This group of boys, brothers. Xiao Yu sighed secretly, hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hand, and asked everyone to calm down, and then Wu Xiaoliu and the others also took the opportunity to demonstrate the way to eat rice noodles across the bridge to the guests.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, and they became more curious about this cross-bridge rice noodle.
Quail eggs, sliced meat, greens, and rice noodles were put into the piping hot broth in turn, and Li Qi also prepared some pepper oil, pigeon soup, barbecued pork and other seasonings for them, and everyone could add seasonings according to their own taste.
Only after a while, the sound of "shivering" sounded in the drunken immortal residence, everyone ate a double fragrance, and occasionally ate a bowl of hot rice noodles across the bridge in this cold winter, which tasted no less than those delicacies from the mountains and seas.
"Mmmm, this cross-bridge rice noodle is really delicious, and this broth is also a must."
"And this cooked meat, it's really delicious?"
"What cooked meat? Didn't you hear Master Fang Cai Liuzi say, this meat is called barbecued pork. β
"Char siu? It's a strange name, but it's the first time in my life that I've ever heard of such delicious cooked meat. β
"Needless to say, you don't look at who did it, when I pulled you here just now, you were still reluctant, see if you don't, it's all full, if we come a moment late, we can only stare at others and eat."
"Yes, yes, I almost missed this delicacy, but I don't know how long Master Li will stay when he comes back this time?"
"How do I know this, some of the food is good, I'm going to order another bowl later, do you want it?"
"Of course you have toβyou're the one to do today, anyway."
After the dishes ordered by the guests were served, Li Qi shook his neck, let out a sigh of relief, and sat down in his chair for a short rest, he had not rested since this morning.
Wu Xiaoliu is now also holding a big bowl, eating rice noodles in a big gulp, and said excitedly: "Brother Li, your cross-bridge rice noodles are really delicious." β
"Then you can eat more." Li Qi said lightly.
"Hmm."
Wu Xiaoliu nodded vigorously with a mouthful of rice noodles, and saw Li Qi's contemplative expression, so he quickly swallowed the rice noodles in his mouth, squatted in front of Li Qi, and asked, "Brother Li, are you going to use this cross-bridge rice noodles to participate in the Four Kingdoms Banquet?" β
Li Qi glanced at him angrily, and said: "Do you think it's a play house, take the rice noodles to fight with other people's imperial chefs, you can figure it out, if my opponents are the same as you, then I will sit back and relax." β
"No, didn't you also win the crab roe banquet with tofu last time, and besides, you used to tell us that food is not expensive or cheap, the key is how you cook." Wu Xiaoliu said and picked up a piece of barbecued pork and threw it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and the one he ate was called fragrant.
"Please squat farther away, look at your eating appearance, if you let the guests know, you can't think that I usually don't give you meat to eat." Li Qi waved his hand in disgust.
"Hey."
Wu Xiaoliu didn't get up, squatted and took two steps back.
Li Qi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sixth son, Brother Li will be honest with you, in fact, what Li Qi said before is to let you have a positive understanding of food and have the courage to explore, but strictly speaking, food is still expensive and cheap." β
"Huh? So you lied to us before. β
Li Qi's face darkened, and he said, "You can't speak, this is called a white lie, understand?" β
Wu Xiaoliu pouted and said, "In the end, it's not a lie." β
"Forget it, forget it, I really can't communicate with someone like you who hasn't read a book."
"Don't, Brother Li, tell me the truth."
"The truth is-? Hey, I said can you change the word. β
"I haven't read a book."
"Well, you win." Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Let me tell you this, the food itself is not expensive, each food has its own unique taste, the key is the taste of people, most people like fragrant, fresh, not smelly, fishy, so the food is given by people, this is like some children are born to be TM nobles, some are untouchables, this has nothing to do with him himself, the key is their parents."
And no matter how delicious the food is, as long as you eat too much, you will get tired of it, so the selection of materials is very important, because the real master competition, the materials occupy the decisive factor.
Take mutton and abalone as an example, there are no less than a hundred dishes made of mutton in our large and small restaurants in Bianjing, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, what taste is not, if you want to use mutton to make another taste, it takes a lot of effort, and it may not be able to do it, but in the competition, everyone's expectations for each dish are very high, if your dish can not bring them surprises in taste, then there will be a big gap in their hearts, and the score of your dish may be lower than the level of your dish. But abalone is different, not everyone can eat abalone every day, there are many things in it that can be explored, and it can be matched with many different flavors. Of course, I'm not saying that abalone is necessarily better than lamb, but relatively speaking, abalone has a natural advantage. All in all, rare things are expensive, and the same is true when it comes to taste. β
Wu Xiaoliu squinted thoughtfully, and after a moment, he asked, "Brother Li, are you planning to use abalone to compete?" β
"I'm a parable, do you understand the parable?"
Li Qi glared at him and said, "Abalone is no different from mutton to the emperor and those ministers. β
Wu Xiaoliu scratched his chin and said, "Well, Brother Li, the emperor hasn't eaten anything, so it's not difficult." β
Li Qi sighed and said, "It's not difficult and he won't look for me, but this time Brother Li must not lose, and he can't afford to lose, in short, I must find a material that is both delicious and unique." β
