Chapter 54: The Warrior Pot
The sound faded away.
Jason doesn't pay more attention to the second son of the Polon family and the girl named Emily.
For him, these two young men were just an episode at this 'lunch'.
The real focus: lunch!
Soon, Tonio walked out with a trolley.
It is a metal trolley dedicated to the kitchen, divided into two layers, and completely covered by a white cloth.
Jason's eyes were locked on the moment the trolley appeared.
Squeak, squeak.
Tonio walked up with a smile on his face and a trolley.
The sturdy metal trolley made a tooth-aching, overwhelming sound.
Listening to such a sound, Delbon's attention was also attracted.
So heavy?
What will it be?
Roasted whole lamb?
No, no!
Roast lamb is not so heavy!
Roast suckling pig will not either!
Roast beef?
The trolley is too small again.
The member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' stared at the trolley, and his mind was full of speculation.
Even, when Tonio came to the front, Delbon couldn't help but sit up straight.
He wanted to see at first glance what the lunch was under the tarn.
Toneo wasted no time and raised his hand to tug at the cloth.
Swish!
With a neat crisp sound, the cloth was skillfully rolled up on Tonio's right arm, and then, the chef bowed slightly, smiled at Jason, and then gestured with his left hand: "Your lunch, Excellency Jason." ”
I saw a huge iron pot that could be called a bathtub appear on the first floor of the dining car.
Inside, pork belly, chicken meatballs, fried tofu, red shrimp, mushrooms and potatoes are neatly stacked.
Pork belly is a palm-sized slice.
Chicken meatballs are the size of a fist.
The fried tofu is cut diagonally to create a triangular shape.
Red scared the whole one, went to the shrimp line with the shell, legs.
The mushroom is cross-cut with the grains facing up.
Potatoes are cut into pieces, which seem to be different, but in fact they are orderly.
What's more, the clear soup is still tumbling in the pot, and the rich aroma of beef permeates the soup.
"This—This is the 'Platinum' Warrior Cauldron?"
Delbon asked with some uncertainty as he stared at the food in the large iron pot in front of him.
"Well, this is my new 'Platinum' Warrior Pot based on the recipes of the fighters in 'Copper Unyielding', which retains the basics and has more reasonable nutritional combinations, which can not only provide the necessary physical needs for those fighters who train all day, but also make their appetite better and eat more food."
Tonio nodded.
And such an answer made Delbon gasp.
As an official member of the 'Clock Tower', Delbon naturally knows about the 'Platinum' warrior pot.
It was a rare victory for the Copper Indomitable warriors, and the food they ate at the celebratory feast was mainly meat.
Of course, this is not a reason for Delbon's surprise.
What really surprised me was the amount of the 'Platinum' Warrior Pot!
The so-called 'platinum' is taken from the homonym 'hundred catties'!
As the name suggests, this 'platinum' warrior pot is the 'hundred-catty' warrior pot.
One pot is a hundred pounds of food!
Even if Jason can eat it very well, but a hundred catties of meat food, even if those warriors of 'Copper Unyielding' come, it may not be able to eat it alone.
In fact, according to Delbon's understanding, the '100 catties' warrior pot itself is a dish that everyone eats.
Now bring it up...... Isn't it a bit of a waste?
Delbon looked at Toneo suspiciously.
"You have to trust my instincts as a qualified chef!"
As he spoke, Tonio bent down and moved the charcoal stove on the lower level of the cart to the table, followed by the large iron pot weighing 100 catties.
Neither the heat of the charcoal stove nor the weight of the large iron pot made Toneo's hands tremble.
Flame? High temperature?
What kind of chef is afraid of these.
As for the weight?
Without strong arm strength, how can you handle real high-end ingredients?
These are the basic skills of a chef.
Toneo, who considers himself a qualified chef, naturally has to have solid basic skills.
"Excellency Jason, please use it."
A ceramic bowl and the matching utensils for eating the '100-pound warrior pot' were placed in front of Jason.
Jason, who couldn't wait, took the cutlery and set off.
Let's start with a spoonful of soup.
The flavor of umami and the layers of ingredients in the pot spread out on Jason's taste buds, first the mushroom flavor, then the pork belly, chicken, shrimp flavor, and the fried tofu and potato flavors were not the last.
Finally, there is the taste of beef.
It's the purest flavor that blends into the broth.
The first thing you smell is the thick aroma of beef.
Finally, I tasted the first smell.
"Is there a beginning and an end?"
Jason muttered softly.
When Tonio heard this, the smile on his face immediately became thicker.
A good diner will always delight the chef.
Because, he understands you.
Putting down the spoon, Jason picked up a large slice of pork belly.
The slices of meat are large, but not thick, and can even be said to be extremely thin, and on one side of the slices, you can almost see the light.
The sense of transparency makes the meat slices look quite crystal clear.
The chopsticks in Jason's hand turned around twice, and a large slice of pork belly was immediately rolled on the chopsticks, and at the same time, it was also covered with soup.
With one mouth, the whole piece of meat disappears on the chopsticks.
The fat and lean pork belly has a layered taste.
Especially the position of the skin, it is even more crispy.
"Cook before you fry!"
Jason was quite sure.
"That's right, boiling meat removes the fishy smell and tightens the texture of the meat, while frying makes the fat of the meat easier to eat."
Tonio nodded.
Jason sandwiched another slice of pork belly, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and then picked up the chicken meatballs.
The fist-sized chicken meatballs are getting fuller in the high-temperature beef broth, and ordinary people usually choose to use chopsticks to divide the huge meatballs in half and then taste them slowly.
But the tall 'Unyielding Copper' warriors are generally one bite at a time.
Jason?
He can take a bite and a pot.
Just to taste it, he restrained himself, opened his mouth slightly, and put this ball in.
Crunchy.
After a slight chewing, a crisp sound is heard.
"It's ...... Brittle bones? ”
"There are crispy bones in the meatballs!"
Jason's eyes lit up.
"Ordinary meatballs, except for those that have just been fried, will always have a fluffy taste when soaked in soup for a long time, and even if they are repeatedly beaten, they will lose some of their taste, so I chose to add some crispy bones on the basis of repeated beating."
Tonio explained.
The chef looked at Jason with a look of satisfaction.
And Jason looked at Tonio with more appreciation.
Jason had seen such a gaze when he looked at Hannibal.
Not why.
It's just for the admiration of cooking.
Tonio felt the appreciation, and the chef immediately made another gesture of please.
Jason was not polite, picking up the diagonally cut fried tofu, cross-cut shiitake mushrooms, and potato cubes, and placing them in a bowl at the same time, and then putting them in his mouth at the same time.
The crispy fried tofu gains toughness at this time.
Shiitake mushrooms are smooth and tender with a unique fragrance.
The potato wedges are soft and crispy.
If the 'warrior pot' is compared to the army, the large slices of pork belly are the vanguard, the chicken meatballs are the Chinese army brigade, and the fried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and potatoes are the logistics supplies in the army.
Although it does not have the ability to rush and kill on the battlefield, it is the most important thing and the key to whether a battle can be won or not.
There is no doubt that Toneo handled it quite well.
Then, Jason picked up the shrimp.
As the only seafood in the warrior's pot.
It's there to make it fresh!
It is different from the pork belly that bears the vanguard, the chicken meatballs of the Chinese army and the fried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and potato wedges of logistics.
Red shrimp is a detective!
There are very few teams with the most important tasks.
Between the mouths, first fresh, then slightly sweet, and then the salty aroma completely burst out.
"Delicious!"
Jason exclaimed.
Then, after being patient for a long time, he couldn't hold back anymore.
Open your mouth slightly, pick up the pot, and pour it into your stomach.
Such a move will definitely scare the average person.
But as the 'mysterious side' people, Delbon and Tonio are not surprised.
Isn't it just that your mouth is a little wider?
Nothing.
Boom!
Looking at Jason's appearance of eating, Delbon, who was already a little hungry, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Mine?"
Delbon looked at Toneo.
"Here!"
Tonio bent down and pulled out a plate from the second floor of the dining cart and placed it in front of Delbon.
Then, from the bag hanging on the right side of the cart, he pulled out a lemon.
Then, he took out another oyster from the trolley hanging from the bag on the left.
Syllable!
With a pry of the knife, the oysters are directly opened.
Then the knife slashed across the lemon.
The sour smell was pervasive, and the lemon juice was poured over the oysters' flesh.
"Please."
Tonio's etiquette of being a teacher is once again in arrears.
And Delbon blinked?
"That's it?"
The member of the 'Clock Tower's stationed in the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' couldn't help but point to the 'Warrior Pot' on the side, and then to an oyster on his plate.
Although this oyster is not small, it is also too shabby, right?
"It's for your own good!"
"Stay up late, you need vitamin supplements, read books that are extremely exhausting, and you need oyster supplements."
"You have to remember that you are no longer seventeen or eighteen years old"
Tonio said as he looked at Derbon earnestly.
Faced with the advice of his friend, Derbon opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but in the end, when the words came to his mouth, it became the last stubbornness -
"Books are the ladder of human progress."
"I love to read, and reading makes me happy."
"And ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a hungry Derbon grabbed the oyster and chewed it heavily.
It tastes good!
Sour and astringent, with a salty taste.
The tender meat of the oysters made Delbon can't help but chew two more bites.
It may have been a shabby meal, but it was enough to satisfy Delbon.
He swallowed the oyster meat and felt the satisfaction rise in his stomach before he continued.
"A man is a teenager until he dies!"
"Well, that's right."
Tonio did not object to this statement, and as a man, he also approved of such words.
However, he has some opinions of his own.
"A single teenager is just a boy, not a man."
Tonio said with a smile.
Suddenly, Derbon, who picked up a napkin and was about to wipe his mouth, stiffened his palm in mid-air.
He looked at the smiling Tonio and wanted to throw the napkin in his face.
In the end, though, he didn't.
Instead, he took a deep breath and replied in as calm a tone as possible.
"Growing up is a long process."
Although Delbon tried to calm himself as much as possible, the trembling sound was enough to prove what Delbon's true heart was like at the moment.
What's wrong with being single?
Being single is an aristocrat!
Delbon told himself so.
When Tonio opened his mouth and was about to continue speaking, Jason's voice came from the side-
"Two more pots."
What the?!
Tonio and Delbon's eyes were instantly attracted.
The two looked at the empty iron pot and couldn't help but freeze in place.
Even Toneo, who claims to have 'chef instincts' and finds Jason to be very good at eating, is no exception.
Delbon, on the other hand, is completely sluggish.
And a big pot just now?
That's a hundred pounds!
Why is it gone?
In Delbon's stupor, Tonio quickly calmed down.
"Okay, right away."
As a 'true chef', Tonio naturally didn't allow himself to fail to satisfy the appetite of his diners, so he immediately turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Step, step!
The clear, firm footsteps brought Derbon back to his senses.
He looked first at the empty iron pot, and then at Jason's perfectly normal, unjutted belly.
Where does the food go?
Have you entered a different dimension?
This member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau' couldn't help but think.
He wanted to ask, but he didn't.
He instinctively felt as if it involved Jason's secret.
Ask others for their secrets, but you don't live long.
Darbon, who aspires to surpass his teacher in terms of age, knows two secrets to longevity.
1. Live from the heart.
2. Regardless of idleness.
Two things come together at this moment?
Blind eye!
Quickly, Delbon made a decision.
"Tonio's cooking skills are good, aren't he?"
Derbon shifted the subject.
"Hmm."
"He's one of the best cooks I know."
Jason said truthfully.
Then, Jason's words paused slightly.
Although he had just eaten, he had heard the words of Delbon and Tonio.
As the one who invited himself to dinner, Jason thought he should give some advice.
"When you buy something, you will naturally ask some netizens for their opinions, for example, you want to buy a laptop, your budget is 5000 yuan, you must not say, 'please help recommend a computer within 5000 yuan', because this will only attract a bunch of people to say, 'Add another 1000 has a better choice' or 'have already spent this money, it is better to go directly to XXX' and other statements."
"What you should be doing is, 'Computers under 5,000 are garbage!'" Unconvinced to argue! Then, there will be a bunch of people who will go crazy to prove you wrong and recommend value computers under 5,000 units. ”
Jason elaborated.
Derbon nodded unconsciously.
He thinks it makes a lot of sense.
However, he was puzzled.
"May I ask Excellency Jason, what does this have to do with me?"
Delbon asked.
"Absolutely."
Jason said with certainty, and then, in a light tone, said-
"You can PS below: I am a man, I love women, I have no bad hobbies, I hope to find a XXX girl and spend the rest of my life together."
