Chapter 155: It's just mere boiling water
"The cabbage is coming!" Hachi held a plate and brought up the bud-shaped cabbage heart.
The cabbage was unremarkable, not even oily, and it looked like it had just been cooked, and it didn't smell fragrant.
The onlookers were stunned, staring at the cabbage heart in surprise, wanting to see a flower.
Chef Liao was the first to laugh out loud, and said in disgust: "That's it? This is how you eat it in your village, right? What about the chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and cured meat you roasted last night? You stole all of them? ”
Everyone was surprised to hear that Tang and Rou used so much meat.
Could it be that he really can't win, and he gives up on himself?
He guessed that the meat might be hidden in the cabbage's heart, and stretched out his chopsticks to pull the buds.
"Don't worry!" Tang Yourou snapped his fingers and shouted, "Little Bachi, boil water!" ”
All of them: "Boiling water? ”
Everyone was amazed.
"Boiling water is coming!" Hachi put the kettle on the plate and carefully walked slowly from the back kitchen with the plate.
"This dish is called boiling water cabbage." Tang Yorou winked mischievously, lifted the kettle, poured boiling water down, and pretended to emphasize, "It's just 'boiling water'!" ”
Clear "boiling water" flows from the spout of the pot and is poured over the cabbage hearts. The cabbage leaves were slowly washed away by the water, and they seemed to bloom. Under the candlelight, this cabbage heart is as crystal as a glowing white lotus.
This boiling water is faintly yellow, and it is still fragrant, how can it be ordinary water?
"Alright, please eat!" Tang and Rou put the empty pot back on the plate and pointed to the cabbage.
"It's so beautiful!"
"I really didn't expect this cabbage sum to bloom."
"This leaf has been cut!"
All of them are holding chopsticks, looking left and right, and they are reluctant to put down the chopsticks.
Chef Liao snorted, but he had already seen that the boiling water was not simple, and muttered beside him: "I will play with these bells and whistles, but it's just a cabbage drizzled with some soup, how good can it be?" ”
They all pulled a petal and put it in their mouths. As soon as I sucked the taste, I took a breath, and the expression on my face seemed to be surprised and happy, as if I was stunned.
The crowd asked, "Is the shopkeeper hot?" ”
Someone kindly brought him cold water.
All waved their hands in refusal, did not explain, sniffed, and there were some tears in their eyes. He tore off the second piece of cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth, but later he didn't feel like it was enough, picked up the plate, took a sip of the soup, and closed his eyes to savor it.
I really enjoyed this expression.
Don and Rou stood by calmly.
Chef Liao was up and down in his heart, walking around the side nervously, he couldn't wait to savor everything, and urged him: "Shopkeeper, I can't see any meat in this boiling cabbage, can it be delicious?" Don't sell it, who wins? ”
"This must be...... Rou girl...... "All of them swallowed the cabbage and handed the chopsticks to Chef Liao, "You taste it yourself." ”
"How could this be her?!"
"The shopkeeper is eccentric!"
Chef Liao hurriedly took the chopsticks, sat down at the square table, and violently dismantled the flower, but did not see the meat. He grabbed a piece of cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth, but was so shocked by this delicacy that his chopsticks fell: "This, how could this be made by her......" He glared at Tang Yourou and said jealously, "This little girl, is it the reincarnation of the kitchen god?" ”
Onlookers were talking.
Reincarnation of the God of Cooking? What is this assessment?
Tang Yorou smiled.
This boiling cabbage was created by the famous chef of Sichuan cuisine Huang Jinglin in the imperial dining room of the Qing Palace, which can be called a state banquet. The boiling water seems to be bland, but in fact, it uses a variety of broths such as chicken, duck, pig, and ham, which is delicious and complicated. After pouring the boiled cabbage, the taste is dominated by cabbage, which is refreshing and rich, not greasy, not light or thin.
It looks like an unremarkable cabbage, and the flavor is so rich that you want to eat it all on your tongue.
All of them were curious: "I heard that you also cook a lot of soup?" Did you use all that meat? How much did the dish cost? ”
Tang and Judo: "With the firewood money, the cost of this plate is about two taels of silver." ”
Chef Liao was surprised: "This cabbage only costs two taels of silver?" ”
Others were shocked: "A cabbage sum costs two taels of silver?" ”
Chef Liao scolded at the man, "If this is just cabbage, can it be so delicious?" This cabbage has the umami of chicken, duck, pig and cow, and it can't be just two taels of silver! ”
He glared at Tang Yourou and said, "The two pieces of beef you cut off will cost thirty taels!" How can this plate only cost two taels of silver?! ”
The court once had a clear decree that in order to ensure farming, even in disaster years, ploughing cattle should not be killed. But the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and many orders have been quietly changed in small places.
The villagers' cattle are bred and give birth to calves, which will be sold in county restaurants for money. Anyway, someone is willing to pay a high price for beef, and the people who collect it turn a blind eye and pretend that it is bison.
Ploughing cattle can't be eaten, but it doesn't mean that bison can't be eaten.
Anyway, hurry up and eat it on the table after the transaction, no one can catch the evidence.
Tang Yourou smiled and pointed to the back kitchen: "There is still a pot of boiling water over there, which can be made in many ways." ”
"Soft girl!" All interrupted her, "Let's go to the back kitchen." ”
Tang Yourou immediately understood what he meant, nodded and shut up.
A lot of people want to follow along with the past to see the excitement.
All of them shouted solemnly, "Don't follow!" ”
Tang Yourou curled the corners of his mouth.
I have never seen a young shopkeeper so serious, and I think I thought I was moved to buy a recipe.
But it didn't come as a surprise to her.
It's all a competition with this Liao chef, and you have to come up with something good. At that time, she had an idea, and remembered this boiling water cabbage, which can be called a state banquet, and saw that the kitchen materials were complete, and she had adjusted it several times, and also adjusted the boiling water according to the taste of meat in this era.
The two went into the back kitchen.
There was a whole pot of boiling water mixed out, and it was still steaming. Next to it is the fished out chicken and duck knuckle beef, and the meat is cut a few times to facilitate the soup, but it can still be used.
Hachi was secretly drinking the broth, his mouth was glowing with a faint oil, and when he saw the shopkeeper coming, he was so frightened that he quickly put the spoon away.
Tang Yourou: "Xiaoba, you go and guard the door, don't let people eavesdrop." ”
"Okay."
Hachi obediently obeyed the dispatch of this peer, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Knowing that they all wanted to inquire about the dishes, Tang Yourou was not in a hurry to tell them, and continued to talk about the cost just now.
She pointed to the pile of boiled chickens, ducks, cows and pigs on the table, and said, "These are all used to cook broth, and the taste is in the soup, but these meats can still be cooked." The meat can be picked and steamed with sauce, or copied with other dishes, and it can also be served. ”
They all ripped off the duck and chicken and tasted them separately: "It does work, but it doesn't taste." ”
Tang Yourou nodded: "Yes." During the whole process of making boiling water cabbage, no salt is added. The only thing used to spice up the saltiness is cured meat. It's a pity you don't know how to make ham yet......"
All asked, "What is that?" ”
