Chapter 217: The Wonderful Use of Sea Intestines
"Hehe, this is kept secret for the time being, and I'll tell you when I get home!" Zhou Zhong said excitedly, he didn't expect that he would casually turn around the street, and there would be such an adventure, not only to debunk a scam, but also to harvest a batch of dried sea intestines, although the sea intestines of this era are not valuable, but it has another kind of wonderful use, if it is operated properly, it is impossible to say that the Chamber of Commerce will have another way to make money in the future.
In addition to the sea intestine, the shrewd liar Yu Er was also temporarily imprisoned by Zhou Chong, he didn't want to use lynching or anything, but he felt that this person was thoughtful and good at grasping people's hearts, although he didn't use the right path, but he was also a talent, if this kind of person threw him directly into prison to eat prison food, it would be a pity, so he felt that it was better to send this person to Shuangyu Port to raise first, maybe it would be useful to him in the future.
After disposing of Yu Er, Zhou Zhong accompanied Jinxuan and Lingyun to find a shop with the best quality sea cucumbers on the street, bought a lot of sea cucumbers to make gifts, and then had lunch outside, and went to buy some things in the afternoon. Zhou Zhongzhong has been thinking about the sea intestines sent home, so after buying things, he immediately rushed back to his residence, and then took some sea intestines and sent himself to the house to tinker for a long time before coming out.
At this time, it was almost time for dinner, and Jinxuan and Lingyun didn't forget to bring gifts to Bang'er and them when they went shopping, so now the five girls are all gathered in the living room, and some of Weihaiwei's specialties are being judged, and the whole living room is full of their chatter and laughter.
Zhou Zhong came out of the room humming a little song, and when he saw Jinxuan and the others were there, he clapped his hands to attract their attention. Then he smiled happily and said, "I'll tell you a good news." Tonight I will ask Aunt Luo to prepare a very special dinner. Everyone will come and taste it, and you will definitely be delighted! ”
Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Ciela was the first to jump up happily, when she stayed on the boat some time ago, although the food was also good, but her appetite was raised as early as when she was in Shuangyu Port, and she was always looking forward to having a big meal to satisfy her hunger, so she was most excited about Zhou Chong's words.
Hearing this, Bang'er was also very curious and asked, "Brother." What exactly is the special dinner you are talking about, is it a meal made with Weihai's local specialties? ”
"Hehe, you only guessed half right, and this is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, you wait here first, and I'll tell Aunt Luo how to cook!" After Zhou Zhong finished speaking excitedly, he turned around and left the living room, but at this time, Jinxuan and Lingyun glanced at each other, and they both thought of the fake sea cucumber that Zhou Chong brought back before, which is the kind of thing called sea intestines. He wouldn't be trying to cook with that, would he?
I saw Zhou Zhong excitedly running to the small kitchen in the yard, and the meals for him and Jinxuan and others were all prepared by Aunt Luo. First, Aunt Luo is an old man in Zhou's house, and Zhou Zhong trusts her very much, and secondly, Aunt Luo's cooking skills are also very exquisite, and the home-cooked food she cooks is also very suitable for the appetite of Zhou Zhong and others.
As soon as Zhou Chonggang came to the kitchen, Aunt Luo, who was directing a few maids to wash the vegetables, immediately saw him, and hurriedly wiped her hands and blocked Zhou Chong at the kitchen door and said: "Young master, why did you come to the kitchen again, Aunt Wang has instructed that you must not be allowed to enter the kitchen again in the future, so you better go back quickly, I will cook the food immediately!" ”
Aunt Luo was also a little helpless when she said these words, she had lived in Zhou Mansion for more than ten years, and had been responsible for taking care of Zhou Chong's diet, but she had never seen Zhou Chong enter the kitchen, but since the last time the Zhou family was temporarily defeated for a period of time, when she came back, she found that Zhou Chong, who was a scholar, actually made a good dish, and he often went into the kitchen to cook once or twice for Mrs. and Miss, which made Aunt Luo very embarrassed, because in her opinion, the kitchen was definitely not a place for people of Zhou Chong's status to enter, Otherwise, it will make people laugh if it is spread out, which she is surprisingly consistent with Aunt Wang's opinion.
Regarding Aunt Luo's complaints, Zhou Zhong smiled and said: "Aunt Luo, don't worry, I'm not here to cook this time, it's just that I just found something that is very suitable for cooking, so I sent it to you!" ”
Zhou Zhong said and took out a fist paper bag from his arms and handed it to Aunt Luo, and then told her the effect and usage of this thing, at the beginning, Aunt Luo was still a little skeptical, but when Zhou Chong asked her to fry the dish casually, she tried it first, but after Aunt Luo tasted her own fried dishes, she was also shocked, and now she paid more attention to the things that Zhou Zhong handed over to herself, and put it in a clean porcelain bottle, and she was in charge of it herself.
Seeing that Aunt Luo had mastered the use of things, Zhou Zhong left the kitchen with confidence, but when he left, he also specially asked Aunt Luo to cook a few more dishes, and there was also a more special order, which Aunt Luo also wrote down one by one.
Zhou Zhong returned to the living room and talked and laughed with Jinxuan for a while, and soon the meals on Aunt Luo's side were ready, and they were all placed in the dining room, and then Zhou Zhong and the others left the living room together, but when Jinxuan and the others saw the dinner prepared on the dining room table, they were all stunned, because today's dinner was really a little strange, there were several dishes on the table that were repeated on two plates, if they were placed in ordinary people's homes, it would be nothing, but big families have the rules of big families, and each dish of each meal is different, if the same two dishes are placed, which will make the host feel that the chef is perfunctory.
However, Zhou Zhong turned a blind eye to today's dishes, only to see him sitting on the main seat, and then beckoned Jinxuan and said, "Jinxuan, hurry up and taste today's dinner, there will definitely be unexpected surprises for you!" ”
"Brother, you can't be mistaken, aren't these dishes just ordinary dishes? And you can see that the steamed carp is still prepared twice repeatedly, is Aunt Luo sick today, otherwise with her experience, how could she make such a simple mistake? Bang'er asked all the questions in her heart in one breath, if she hadn't smelled that the smell of these dishes was indeed from Aunt Luo's hand, then I'm afraid she would have thought that it was someone else's cooking.
Bang'er's words also asked Jinxuan the questions in their hearts, so they all looked at Zhou Chong one by one after hearing it, hoping that he could solve the doubts in their hearts, but they saw that Zhou Chong did not explain immediately, but pointed to the two dishes on the table with a smile and said: "Bang'er, you like to eat steamed carp the most, I specially asked Aunt Luo to make two, now you taste what is the difference between these two fish?" ”
Hearing Zhou Chong's words, although Bang'er still had doubts in her heart, she still picked up a piece of fish meat on the left with chopsticks, and then put it in her mouth to taste it, Jinxuan and the others were also looking at her, but after a while, Bang'er said with a puzzled face: "This fish should be Aunt Luo's specialty dish, and the taste is no different from usual!" ”
Bang'er said and picked up a piece of fish meat from the fish on the right, and then gently put it in his mouth, it was nothing at first, but soon he saw Bang'er's face was happy, and he was very surprised: "Strange, this fish should also be made by Aunt Luo, but why do I feel that this fish seems to be better than the fish next to me?" ”
Hearing Bang'er's words, Jinxuan and the others also looked at each other in surprise, and then invariably picked up chopsticks and tasted the two fish, but they soon found that the steamed carp on the right was indeed better than the one on the left, but it was impossible to say where it was delicious, after all, they were not professional gourmets, and their sense of taste was not so sensitive.
After making this discovery, Jinxuan and the others tasted several duplicate dishes on the table, and found that they were the same dishes as the steamed carp, but the ones on the right were more delicious, and they didn't know if it was an illusion, they felt that the other dishes were much more delicious than before, and even Jinxuan, who had no appetite, felt that today's meal was very delicious, and couldn't help but taste all the dishes on the table.
"Brother, what the hell is going on, why does today's dish seem to be much more delicious than usual, and you also put some duplicate dishes for comparison, could it be that you added something to the dish?" At this time, Bang'er also guessed the intention of Zhou Chong's arrangement, and asked in a hurry.
"Yes, Xianggong, what did you add to the dish, I also feel that today's dish is particularly delicious, Thrush go and serve me a bowl of porridge, I have to make up for it!" Jinxuan was also happy at this time, she felt that her appetite was also opened by these delicacies, and after having an appetite, the whole person felt refreshed.
Hearing that the young lady took the initiative to drink porridge, the thrush also happily agreed, and quickly served a bowl to Jinxuan, Zhou Zhong and others. I saw Zhou Chong only then opened his mouth and smiled: "Bang'er and Jinxuan, you guessed well, this dish does add some Weihai local specialties, this specialty is an animal in the sea, dry and grind them into powder, sprinkle some when cooking, and immediately make the meal extra fresh, which is much more flavorful than chicken soup, you just think the meal is very delicious, in fact, it is precisely because today's meal is added with this powder, and I have given this powder a name, just call it 'monosodium glutamate'!" ”
"MSG?" Bang'er, Bai Mengwan, and Siela heard Zhou Chong's explanation, and then they had a sense of sudden realization, and at the same time, they also sighed a little, there are really no wonders in this world, who would have thought that there are animals in the world that can increase the umami of food.
In contrast, Jinxuan and Xie Lingyun knew more things, and they immediately thought of the sea intestines that Zhou Chong brought back before, among which Jinxuan was nothing, but she felt that she knew a lot, but Xie Lingyun stood up excitedly, after all, she was also an excellent businessman, and she quickly saw the huge benefits contained in the sea intestines.
