Chapter 25: The Courier Has Arrived
After eating a few appetizers, the highlight of the day really begins.
After the baptism of pumpkin flowers, everyone is already looking forward to this mysterious Master Chen.
When many delicacies that have not even heard of the name are served one by one.
Everyone realized that they had really picked up a treasure today.
Most of the dishes were eaten by Zhao Jiuxiang at Gou's house, and they were nothing particularly fresh.
It's just that he didn't expect that in just half a month, Chen Er's craftsmanship has improved so much.
Zhao Jiuxiang ate everything without saying a word.
Chen Er is very good at using simple processing methods to enhance the taste enjoyment of food.
Let's take today's liquor as an example, although it is specially transported from Xinghua Village, it is more delicious and has a more unique aroma than ordinary Fenjiu.
As soon as he heard it, Chen Er deliberately added fresh rose petals to the wine, and covered the seal of the wine jar with rose branches.
The roses are fresh and fragrant, because the soaking time in the wine is short, and they are not added when making wine, so the rose fragrance floats on the surface, which does not destroy the smell of Fenjiu itself, nor does it take away the flavor of Fenjiu.
Rather, it adds a little extra floral fragrance, take a sip, the floral fragrance hits people, and then taste it, it is the clear aroma of Fenjiu plus a faint rose fragrance.
The smell is special and evokes reverie.
What surprised Zhao Jiuxiang was a fried jellyfish silk and a green cold noodle.
Jellyfish can be eaten, and he is not surprised.
I've heard before that some coastal countries specialize in making canned jellyfish, and the sales are good.
He just didn't expect jellyfish to be so delicious.
and the cold noodles named Huaiye Lengtao were even more unexpected to him.
The faint bitterness of the locust leaves and the sweetness of the flour are combined with the mellow flavor of the soy sauce.
It is indescribably comfortable and enjoyable to eat.
This is a great summer dish.
Until the last two dishes were served, Rao was as calm as Zhao Jiuxiang didn't hold back, picked up the bowl and ate it.
These two dishes are Ulva soup and camel hoof soup.
Zhao Jiuxiang had also eaten Ulva before, but the amount of Ulva he ate outside of him was less than one-tenth of what it is today.
When the soup is served, it is served in a small cup of blue and white porcelain.
The snow-white sea bass meat is cut into very thin slices and lies neatly in a cup, surrounded by milky white fish broth.
The fish soup is boiling hot, still boiling slightly, and makes a gentle "poof" sound.
Boiling fish broth gently shake thin slices of fish.
The delicate slices of fish are even more attractive.
Not to mention the tender green lettuce that is distributed on top of the fish soup.
There are some green lettuces floating in the fish soup that is as white as snow, like green gems that are unintentionally mixed in the white jade pile.
Someone couldn't bear it, so he picked up the spoon and gently touched the fish in the fish soup.
I saw that the neat slices of fish suddenly scattered like light sand blown away by the wind, and immediately fell into the soup.
This fish is so cooked and soft.
When I scooped up another spoonful and put it in my mouth, the fish was as soft and tender as the lettuce, and I couldn't tell who was who, so it slid into my stomach at once.
When you open your mouth, you only have a mouth full of fresh fragrance.
And that camel's hoof soup looks completely different from the fish soup.
Zhao Jiuxiang had also eaten camel's hoof soup, but the aroma of this camel's hoof soup today was very different from what he had eaten before.
The aroma of this camel's hoof soup today is very special.
In general, to make delicious camel hoof soup, you need to choose the best camel hoof, not only fat but also tough meat, only camels that walk all year round meet the requirements.
The hooves of the camels that walk all year round are contaminated with the smell of wind and sand, and they will have a heavy earthy smell when eaten.
At this time, the chef needs to add a lot of seasoning to remove or cover up the earthy smell.
In general, ginger, shallots and garlic are good choices.
Some of SX's big restaurants or restaurants will also choose very delicious mushrooms to add to suppress the earthy smell of camel hooves.
But not only is there no earthy smell in this camel's hoof soup, but even the smell of green onions, ginger and garlic is not heavy.
On the contrary, there is a faint orange fragrance.
Could it be that you put orange peel in the soup?
Zhao Jiuxiang stirred the spoon in the cup and took a bite.
Immediately, he couldn't control it, and he showed a very intoxicated expression.
The camel's hoof soup is extremely delicious, and the camel's hooves are cooked to rot, and they have all turned into meat foam or minced meat.
The fatty texture of the camel's hooves is incorporated into the soup, which gives this refreshing and delicious soup a delicious aroma.
The delicious aroma slides down the throat and all the way into the stomach.
Zhao Jiuxiang felt that in this process, his internal organs seemed to be making comfortable exclamations.
The hot soup is like rain after a great drought, watering all its depleted senses.
It seems to be in the empty mountain after the rain, and it seems that there is a spring river rushing away in front of you.
It's very comfortable, and it's relaxing from the inside out.
People can't help but want to slap the table and shout, it's delicious!
Zhao Jiuxiang didn't notice how the orange fragrance was made until he finished eating all the camel's hoof soup.
The smell of orange was peculiar, like a hot spring, silently swimming to every part of his mouth.
Although the smell is very light, it smells good, fresh and natural.
The camel's hoof soup was full of this smell, but Zhao Jiuxiang did not find any trace of orange peel in the cup.
He looked up at the other guests and saw that the camel's hoof soup in front of each of them had been eaten cleanly.
Most people are either in the aftertaste or completely stunned.
The butler on the side immediately gave an explanation.
He was worried that if he didn't speak, the saliva would immediately come out of his mouth.
"Chef Chen said that when this camel's hoof soup is cooked, it is not covered with a lid, but with orange branches and leaves as a lid."
"And when the water is full of water, when the water boils, it will pounce upward, and when it hits the branches and leaves of the oranges, it will return to the pot with the smell of oranges, and so on, and the aroma of the oranges will remain in the soup. And because the smell of orange branches and leaves is very light, the aroma of oranges not only does not destroy the freshness of the camel's hoof soup itself, but adds a special beauty. ”
Before Zhao Jiuxiang could react after listening, a guest suddenly clapped his hands and shouted hello.
"Wonderful! Who is this Chef Chen, why haven't we heard of when Yanjing has a chef before. ”
Zhao Jiuxiang explained, "This Master Chen was invited by them when I went to Gou's house, and I felt that my skills were superb at that time, so I specially invited them for emergency this time." ”
So another guest hurriedly said, "This Master Chen's skills are really good, compared to many chefs in Yanjing, it's not bad!" ”
So they clamored to see him.
Zhao Jiuxiang then instructed the housekeeper to find him.
The butler clutched his stomach, which was almost hungry, and had to hurry to the kitchen.
He wasn't so hungry in the first place, who called that Master Chen's craftsmanship so good.
He was on the side, and just smelling the fragrance already knew how much saliva he was secretly drooling.
Unexpectedly, when he rushed to the kitchen, there were only a few cooks there to clean up.
When I asked, I realized that Chen Er had actually left.
Dou Yitong touched a note and handed it to the housekeeper.
"Master Chen said, this is his bank account, please remit the remuneration directly."
The housekeeper asked him why Chen Er left suddenly.
Dou Yitong scratched his head.
"As soon as Master Chen ate, he answered the phone and said that the courier had arrived, so he left in a hurry."
The housekeeper was dumbfounded, what courier is so important, and he ran away without even taking the money?
The group of young masters and ladies outside are still waiting to see him!
What can I do?
