Chapter 34: The Gou Family Banquet

Because the phoenix-eyed man was a guest, everyone was waiting for him to move his chopsticks first.

The phoenix-eyed man was the first to pick up the plate closest to him.

In the snow-white porcelain plate are five palm-sized cooking cakes.

At first glance, it is round and flat, but when you put it in front of you, you will notice the difference.

The dough cake is like a mille-feuille, and it seems that each layer is sandwiched with something, so it looks different in color from ordinary cookcakes.

It's just that each layer of dough is stretched extremely thin, and the ingredients contained in it are separated by a layer of tissue paper-like dough, as if it can be pierced with a slight poke.

Instead, he made the people who wanted to eat become cautious.

When this cookcake was served just now, the Gou family immediately discovered it.

Because it's so conspicuous.

The dishes on the table are all exquisite to the extreme, but this plate of cooking cakes is out of place.

It's like a stone mixed into a pile of jade.

Unexpectedly, the phoenix-eyed man actually picked it up first.

"It's ...... Pancake? "The phoenix-eyed man is a little curious.

Chen Er knew by looking at him that he hadn't eaten it.

It seems that he is a rich kid again.

Chen Er coughed lightly, "This cake has its own name. ”

The phoenix-eyed man sighed and waited for Chen Er to continue.

Chen Er continued, "This cake is called 'Gu Louzi'. It is a kind of noodle dish in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a detailed recipe recorded in "Tang Yulin". ”

The phoenix-eyed man suddenly became interested, and swept the cake in his hand, "It's still a little heavy." ”

Then he raised his hand and took a bite of the bread in his hand.

I thought that the dough baked in the stove would be extremely crispy, but this ancient building is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The outer layer of white dough has been exposed to the scorching charcoal fire, so it has been baked to the texture of the shortbread, the edges are slightly hard, showing a half-burnt golden yellow, and even a little golden puff pastry is turned up, which is fragrant and crispy.

As soon as it touched the teeth, it made a "click" sound, and then cracked crisply, turning into small pieces of skin and falling down, most of them fell into the mouth, and a few fell and fell on the dining table.

If it was usual, the phoenix-eyed man would definitely notice it in time and avoid putting food from the corner of his mouth. Because it's not elegant.

Today, however, he completely forgot to pay attention to it.

All his thoughts were on the piece of bread in his hand.

An indescribable crispy smell rolled into his mouth along with the dough that he had bitten off.

He felt his brain suddenly confused, and he could only instinctively chew the food in his mouth.

The small particles that just touched the tongue, fragrant and crispy, should be white sesame seeds.

The inside of the dough gives off the salty flavor of tempeh, and it is extremely fragrant.

There is also the peppercorn powder under the tempeh, which is crispy and numb, and the tip of the tongue can't help but tremble slightly, and the hemp fragrance of the sedan chair rushes all the way to the brain.

And what kind of meat is wrapped in bread?

It is very delicious and delicate, and it is full of toughness when chewing, fat and thin, and the mouth is full of oil.

Is it lamb? But how can there be such a perfect mutton, which not only maintains the deliciousness of the mutton, but also removes the smell and bloody smell of mutton!

The phoenix-eyed man came back to his senses from the delicacy, and was about to ask Chen Er about the recipe of this dish, when he saw that the ancient buildings on the plate were all gone.

The Gou family on the opposite side ate one by one with oil on the corners of their mouths.

A table full of crumbs.

So the phoenix-eyed man slowly ate the entire ancient building under the gaze of the Gou family.

Chen Er briefly explained the method.

The phoenix-eyed man began to eat other dishes.

This time, he picked the best-looking of several hot dishes.

He picked up a snow-white field chicken, and there was no question in his words, "...... this dish?" ”

Chen Er raised his eyebrows, and seeing that he didn't continue, he could only introduce, "This dish is called Snow Baby, and it is made by wrapping chicken in refined bean powder and frying it on a potsticker. Because the meat is tender and soft, melts in the mouth, and the color is snow-white, it is called a snow baby. ”

The phoenix-eyed man's eyes lit up, "This dish is from the roast tail feast." ”

Chen Er was quite surprised by his knowledge, there are relatively few people who know about the roast tail banquet, and he is not like a chef, could it be that he has eaten it?

The phoenix-eyed man said with some emotion, "Ten years ago, I once ate a roasted tail banquet organized by a top chef in Chang'an, and I was very impressed by this dish. ”

The snow baby has a delicate and smooth taste, and it seems that this phoenix eye prefers delicate dishes.

It's also a charm that a dish can be remembered for ten years.

The phoenix-eyed man stopped talking, opened his mouth and put the field chicken on the chopsticks into his mouth.

The phoenix-eyed man lowered his eyes slightly, unable to see his expression clearly.

But his heart was shocked at the moment.

He had just let go of his chopsticks when the field chicken slid into his mouth like a slippery live fish.

As soon as the teeth touched the tender field chicken, the refined soybean flour wrapped outside began to melt.

The mouthful of beans is sweet and fragrant.

And the meat on the field chicken is really soft to the extreme.

When the teeth touch lightly, the chicken is torn apart as if it has been picked open by chopsticks, and the delicate meat is soft and soft on the teeth, as light and weak as a marshmallow.

It's so fragrant and tender!

Even compared to the meal in Chang'an ten years ago, it is not inferior!

What's even more rare is that there is no excess taste on this field chicken except for the delicious aroma of field chicken and the sweet smell of refined soybean powder.

There is no taste of any added spices.

Although the phoenix-eyed man is not a chef, he has always liked to study the way of food, so he also knows that if you want to use field chicken to make dishes other than stews, you need to add a lot of spices to cover up the earthy smell of field chicken.

But the snow baby made by Chen Er does not smell like any other spices, what does this mean?

Could it be that Chen Er has a special way to get rid of the fishy smell?

Of course, the phoenix-eyed man didn't know that these field chickens had been soaked in mountain spring water with ice by Chen Er, the mountain spring water smelled fresh and sweet, although it was not as good as the stream water in the small world, but it was also a good thing to get rid of the fishy smell.

The freshness and sweetness of the mountain spring are almost the same as the sweetness of refined bean flour.

The phoenix-eyed man naturally couldn't guess the method Chen Er used.

The phoenix-eyed man raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Er secretly, as if he was curious about his identity.

Chen Er didn't notice the phoenix-eyed man's eyes, but looked at the Gou family in front of him, who just didn't eat the plate together.

Then silently mourn for the phoenix-eyed man in my heart, and call you elegant.

The first rule of the foodie rule, when many people eat food together, they must look at all sides and listen to all directions, abandon all elegant ways of eating, and choose the most original and fast way to eat, in order to quickly seize the opportunity.

When the phoenix-eyed man came back to his senses, he sadly found that the last field chicken had been stuffed into Gou Xuefang's mouth.

So the phoenix-eyed man couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
