Chapter 35: Picking the Teacher
The chopsticks stretched out by the phoenix-eyed man were empty, and naturally he could only stretch the chopsticks to the plate next to him.
"This dish is called 'Xiao Tian Crisp'. Use the best venison and chicken breast meat into the pot and stir-fry, and then with the heavy flavor of the ingredients, the entrance is fresh and rushing, the taste is fresh and smooth, and the taste is stimulating. The two ingredients with a large difference in taste sensation come together to bring a different feeling, so it is called Xiaotian Crisp, which means to feel the impact of the difference between heaven and earth in an instant. ”
The fried chicken and venison are put together and mixed with a lot of seasonings, so it is impossible to tell who is who.
But when the food gets in your mouth, the difference comes out right away.
Venison is a little more powerful and delicious than chicken.
Chicken is more tender and soft than venison.
Two meats with very different textures are stir-fried in hot oil, but they bring out their respective characteristics to the extreme.
The phoenix-eyed man only felt that his teeth were chewing involuntarily, his eyes were firmly fixed on the plate, and the chopsticks in his hand were picking up the vegetables back and forth, and he didn't want to stop at all.
There was only one signal in my head, "Eat!" ”
Gou Xuefang looked at him dumbfounded, and then tried to stretch out his chopsticks repeatedly, but was beaten back by his father.
Chen Er was not surprised, from the conversation just now, he could guess that the phoenix-eyed man probably likes dishes with outstanding taste, so he has a special affection for "Xiao Tianshu".
By the time the phoenix-eyed man reacted, a dish had already been eaten by him.
He was stunned, and he didn't seem to expect this to happen.
Then he pretended to be calm and pointed to the small white cup in front of everyone and said, "What is this?" ”
When the lid of the cup is opened, a smell of medicinal food wafts out.
The cup was full of black broth and some unbelievable ingredients.
The phoenix-eyed man only smelled it, and felt a warm aroma rush from his nose to his brain.
The top note is the sweet aroma unique to the herb, light and fluttering, very light, and you can't smell it without smelling it.
Behind it is a faint salty fragrance with a slight fishy smell, a little glutinous, and the aroma of fat being boiled and creamy.
Pick up the spoon and stir it in the cup a few times, and the aroma you just smelled is even more obvious.
The phoenix-eyed man narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's the smell of deer tendons and He Shou Wu...... There are other things, I just can't smell them. ”
Chen Er didn't expect the phoenix-eyed man's sense of smell to be so sensitive.
The dish had been stewed for a long time, and the ingredients were handled cleanly, and he could still smell the two key ingredients, which was also skillful.
Chen Er said with a smile, "This is manna soup, made by stewing in a purple casserole pot with japonica rice, He Shou Wu, deer blood, and deer tendons. ”
"It is rumored that this dish is the craft of Li Linfu, the traitor of the Tang Dynasty."
"It has the effect of invigorating qi and invigorating blood and calming the nerves. Long-term consumption can also turn gray hair black. ”
The phoenix-eyed man scooped up a spoon and ate it.
The smell of Polygonum multiflorum is already very light, and you can only eat a faint sweetness and the fragrance of herbs.
Deer blood and japonica rice are mixed together, and after simmering for a long time, it becomes softer and glutinous, with an indescribable aroma, perhaps the smell of deer blood.
It's just that the smell of deer blood is not the smell of deer blood.
The spoon in the phoenix-eyed man's hand stirred twice in the cup, and then scooped up a small piece of deer tendon that was about to cook.
It's the smell of deer tendons.
Deer tendon melts in the mouth, because the main components in deer tendon are protein and fat, and after boiling in a high-temperature purple casserole for a long time, the fat and protein will slowly melt, but the toughness of the deer tendon is excellent, so it melts slowly.
When you eat it in your mouth, it's like eating a popsicle that is about to melt, and after rolling between your teeth and tongue a few times, it turns into a fragrant soup in your mouth.
The taste is no less delicious than any kind of seafood.
When the hot dish was finished, the butler removed the plate and replaced it with a cold dish.
As soon as the phoenix-eyed man saw the golden jade and the carved golden dragon and phoenix crab, his eyes were straight.
Gou Xuefang secretly said to himself on the side, "These two dishes are his favorites." There is no restaurant chef in Yanjing City who can do it. My old man also inquired a lot before he invited that bullshit chef. ”
"As soon as I heard that he had a secret recipe to make these two dishes even better, I hurriedly invited them over."
Chen Er nodded thoughtfully, and then asked him in a low voice, "Then where did this man eat before?" ”
Gou Xue said conveniently, "I heard that he is a big chef in Jiangnan, a very powerful person, and he can't cook easily, but I forgot the name......"
He had been concentrating on the tea ceremony before, and if he talked about the characters in the tea ceremony, he would naturally be able to say a thing or two.
But he doesn't know much about the culinary world, after all, interlacing is like a mountain.
Chen Er said in his heart, it seems that there are still many talented people in this world, and he has not seen other top chefs in Yanjing all the time, so naturally he doesn't know.
The phoenix-eyed man picked up a chopstick, raised his eyebrows, and didn't speak again.
Then he took another bite of the carved dragon and phoenix crab, revealing the same expression as just now.
Gou Xuefang saw it and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, it's not delicious?" ”
The phoenix-eyed man didn't say a word.
Gou Xue conveniently ate it herself.
Immediately shouted delicious.
The sea bass is not fishy at all, it is very clean, and because of Chen'er's unique handling method, the meat of the sea bass is very fresh and smooth, just like the sea bass that has just been fished out of the water.
It was as if he was still swimming in the water just now, and he fell into his mouth as he swam as he swam.
The delicious aroma of the fish in the mouth, the sweet glutinous chestnuts in the golden rice and the salty and sour flavor of the white plum, the two are mixed together, which is refreshing and delicious.
It's sour, sweet, and delicious.
The fruity aroma of white plum and the fresh aroma of fish are very well combined.
It's like a plum that has just been plucked from a tree, soaked in the trickling stream at once, soaked back and forth twice, and then rolled the freshly cut sea bass slices into your mouth.
The fragrance fills your mouth, and when you close your eyes, you can see a forest of white plums and a stream of sea bass.
Gou Xuefang felt that there was no more delicious fish than this.
Why did the phoenix-eyed man look indifferent.
The phoenix-eyed man suddenly sighed, startling everyone in the Gou family.
Without waiting for the others to speak, he suddenly looked at Chen Erdao and said, "I don't know who Master Chen's teacher is?" ”
Chen Er was stunned, teacher?
Should he talk about the system or is he self-taught?
Chen Er thought for a while, and then said, "My teacher is called picking." ”
The phoenix-eyed man was stunned, "Which pick?" ”
Chen Er didn't want to think about it this time, so he replied, "Of course, it's a slam on the door." ”
"I usually call him a teacher."
The phoenix-eyed man smiled suddenly.
This can scare people other than Chen Er.
The phoenix-eyed man is notoriously paralyzed, and he can actually laugh?
Chen Er felt that this kid's laughter was more ugly than crying.
Although he had never seen this man cry.
The phoenix-eyed man began to speak to himself.
"When I first ate these two dishes, I thought I had tasted the craftsmanship of the old man, so I was shocked. But when I tasted it later, I felt that it was not right, and the dishes you made were far from the dishes he cooked. ”
Chen Er raised an eyebrow.
The phoenix-eyed man continued, "He does better than you, but he doesn't handle the sea bass as well as you, and your sea bass meat is more delicious and tender." But his gold is better than yours. Your golden fish is on the heavy side, and although it is outstanding, it will take away the beauty of the sea bass. My old man said that the main part of this dish is the taste of the sea bass. It's a bit noisy for you to do this, and the tail is too big to lose. ”
Chen Er thought about it for a while, and his face was not unhappy at all, but nodded thoughtfully, "That's interesting." ”
The phoenix-eyed man continued, "But your golden jade dish is also a rare delicacy, at least, except for my old friend, I have never seen anything better than this." ”
This is a sincere compliment from the other party.
Chen Er is also very happy in his heart, he has only been learning to cook for more than a month, and he is already very happy to have the current level.
Although he knew that this was far from enough, but when he had time, he would naturally work hard and win the title of God of Food as soon as possible!
He was 100 percent confident.
The phoenix-eyed man coughed lightly and said, "If you have the opportunity, I hope you can introduce you to your ...... for me."
He paused, as if he felt that the title was a bit strange, "That picks the teacher......"
"To be able to train a master disciple like you, he should also be a great chef."
