Chapter 24: Egg-Flavored Flowers

As for the soup, when I took it into my mouth, I only felt a cold plum fragrance coming to my nose.

That's right, it's the scent of plum blossoms.

People can't help but wonder if there are plum blossoms in this thick soup.

And this plum blossom aroma contains a faint sweet smell in the cold.

It is not like ordinary plum blossoms, which have a faint bitter taste after entering the water.

Taste it carefully, and there is a delicious smell of fish soup under the aroma of plum blossoms.

However, the smell of this fish soup is much lighter than that of plum blossoms.

So when you take a bite of thick soup, everyone feels the rich floral fragrance for the first time.

Zhao Jiuxiang gently stirred the spoon in the soup cup.

From the soup base, some small goose-yellow flowers were stirred.

Each flower is only the size of a fingernail of a little finger, and the flower shape is beautiful, and it is a five-calyx plum.

No wonder the plum blossom aroma is so strong.

The milky white fish soup has a few goose-yellow plum blossoms floating on it, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The cold aroma of plum blossoms and the gentle smell of fish soup collide together, one cold and one hot, which is opposite and complementary.

The aroma is captivating and intense.

After drinking this small cup of thick soup, the fresh breath of the fish soup has not yet dissipated, and the aroma of plum blossoms has already spread in the mouth.

It seems that you don't have to think about it, you can see a large number of plum blossoms in front of you, and the fragrance lingers.

The butler watched from the sidelines and took a deep breath of the fragrance wafting over.

"There's nothing special about this fish soup method, it's just that it's not a whole fish or a fish head or anything like that. It's a fishbone. ”

"Choose the best crucian carp, first add green onion and ginger to steam in a steamer, and then remove most of the meat, head and tail. Keep the fish bones with meat, add dried plum blossoms, and boil for an hour and a half with the spring water of Yuquan Mountain. ”

"A cup of fish soup takes seven fish bones to get such a thick and white soup."

The crowd was amazed when they heard this.

Most fish soups are made with fish meat, but it is rare to use fish bones. And most people think that the essence of fish is in the flesh of the fish, and it has little to do with the bones.

The housekeeper also thought it was strange, but Chen Er told him at the time.

"The beauty of this soup is the taste and smell, the nutrition does not have to be too particular, and the plum blossom also has the effect of relieving the heat and relieving the cough, and the fish bones are also rich in calcium and trace elements."

It was already surprising that plum blossoms could be eaten, but I didn't expect it to be able to play a medicinal role.

Everyone finished the soup, but not many people dared to move the chopsticks for the last appetizer.

It's just because this dish is really weird.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

But Zhao Jiuxiang stretched out his chopsticks first and picked up one.

I saw that it was a strange yellow object, soft and soft wrapped in flour and fried in a pan, and the surface also showed a faint golden yellow.

Zhao Jiuxiang deliberately sniffed the smell, but didn't smell anything.

I could only ask about a faint aroma of fried flour.

Other than that, there is no other smell.

Could it be that the thing inside is wrapped so that the aroma can't come out?

Zhao Jiuxiang hesitated for a moment before taking a light bite.

As soon as he took this bite, his face suddenly changed.

A fresh taste suddenly spread in his mouth.

It's like a freshly picked flower at the beginning of the sunny day after the rain, which is fresh, tender and fragrant. It seems that a slight pinch will break it and pinch out a fresh flower juice.

He slammed his phoenix eyes.

The contents of the mouth are surprisingly soft and tender.

As soon as you bite into it, you can even feel some juice being squeezed out of your teeth.

This feeling even made Zhao Jiuxiang feel a little familiar.

It's like, it's like a freshly plucked flower is put in your mouth.

"It's flowers!" Zhao Jiuxiang suddenly spoke.

The others were startled, and then turned their eyes to the dish in front of them.

"Flowers?"

"What kind of flower?"

Zhao Jiuxiang ate the other half of the chopsticks.

After chewing and swallowing slowly for a long time, he hesitated and said, "This thing is very strange." ”

"It tastes soft, tender and juicy, with a hint of sweetness. There's even a taste of pollen. ”

"It's really the feeling of flowers."

He hesitated, as if he thought it was incredible, "However, when I ate it again, I actually vaguely tasted the taste of eggs." ”

Everyone hurriedly followed with chopsticks.

Sure enough, the taste was no different from what Zhao Jiuxiang described.

When I first started eating, I could clearly feel that I was eating a flower wrapped in flour.

However, after tasting it for a while, the taste suddenly took a big turn.

Suddenly the taste of flowers changed to eggs.

What kind of flower can make the taste of an egg?

Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the butler who was still immersed in the aroma of the food.

The butler didn't notice it at all, but squinted slightly, revealing an intoxicated look.

Zhao Jiuxiang couldn't help but cough lightly.

The butler woke up from a dream, and when he glared at him, he found that all the guests had their eyes on him.

He was stunned, then subconsciously reached out to wipe the corners of his mouth and chin.

After discovering that there was no suspicious liquid left at the corner of his mouth, he quickly adjusted his state.

I found that everyone had already eaten the last dish.

He cleared his throat and said, "This dish is an appetizer made by Master Chen himself." ”

"It's called Nanhua Cake."

Someone couldn't help but say, "We just want to know what kind of ingredients this thing is made of, and the taste is so special!" ”

The butler hesitated, even he felt that the ingredients of this dish were indeed a bit strange.

“…… The main ingredients of this Nanhua Crisp are flour, water and pumpkin flowers......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't believe what they had heard.

Pumpkin flowers?

Can pumpkin flowers have the taste of eggs?

Moreover, pumpkin flowers can be used as a dish? Can it still be made so delicious?

The housekeeper looked at the stunned guests and didn't know what to say for a while.

He also had this expression when he first learned the ingredients of this dish.

The guests invited by Zhao Jiuxiang were either rich or expensive, and of course they did not dare to be sloppy in the choice of ingredients.

But who would have thought that the first delicacy Chen Er made was actually pumpkin flowers......

The housekeeper could only say everything Chen Er had told him.

"Choose freshly blooming pumpkin flowers, pick them, wash them with spring water, and sprinkle a little salt on the petals."

"Flour with a little salt and spring water knead into a dough. Then wrap the pumpkin flowers in it, fry it in an oil pan, and the dough can be scooped up and eaten when it is fried. ”

How easy is it to make this dish?

Zhao Jiuxiang was also surprised.

He glanced at the Nanhua Cake on the plate again.

He still couldn't believe that such a delicious thing was actually made with a pumpkin flower.

Those of them who were born with a golden soup spoon have never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas since they were children, but now they have to surrender under a pumpkin flower.

Zhao Jiuxiang couldn't help but smile, then picked up the chopsticks and ate the plate of Nanhua crisp cleanly.
