Chapter 107: A Great Meal Never Before
Hearing the name of this dish, and looking at the appearance of this clear soup with little water, Wen Wan was even more sure that Wang Xiao would not know how to cook.
Today he invited himself home for dinner, but it was just "a good intention".
However......
The other four girls and Wang Xiaoyu were very eager to scoop the soup by themselves, and then enjoyed drinking it very much.
"Brother, it's really delicious. ”
Wang Xiaoyu looked satisfied, and drank up a small bowl of boiling water cabbage after dividing it by two.
"Wang Xiao, I didn't expect you to even cook boiling cabbage! ”
Chen Xiaoying gave a thumbs up, she followed the adults in the family, and she had eaten authentic boiling water cabbage at the state banquet, but how did she feel ...... What Wang Xiao made was better than the one at the state banquet?
"Wow! This is the best cabbage I've ever tasted. It's so fragrant!"
Jiang Tianyue was also surprised, "I didn't expect that cabbage could be made so delicious." ”
......
The repeated compliments of several girls made Wen Wan even more confused.
You don't need to do that, do you?
Even if you want to bring out Wang Xiao's superb cooking skills from the side, this performance is a bit too ...... That's too pompous!
It's just a bowl of boiling cabbage!
Isn't that what it looks like to just make a few cabbage sums and blanch them in boiling water?
Wen Wan really couldn't cry or laugh, she thought that even if Wang Xiao cooked a pack of instant noodles, her appearance would be much better than this boiling water cabbage, right?
"Huh, Wenwan, why don't you eat it? Come on! I'll serve it for you, it's delicious." ”
Xu Yuying saw Wen Wan hesitate for a while, so she took the initiative to help her also fill a bowl of boiling water cabbage.
"Thank you...... Thank you. ”
Wen Wan took it very politely, and then she was surprised to smell a special smell of meat.
"This ...... How is this possible? How can there be a meaty aroma in the boiling water cabbage?"
Tentatively, he picked up the soup spoon and scooped it, gently blew it, and then put it in his mouth.
Moment!
Wen Wan's whole person was stunned.
This taste......
It's delicious!
It looks like boiling water!
Why can it be filled with such a rich meat aroma in the mouth?
Moreover, the taste is fresh and elegant, the fragrance is mellow, the soup is thick, not greasy, but fragrant and refreshing.
It's absolutely amazing!
This is definitely not a bowl of water, the ingredients in it are so rich, one bite of the stomach, you feel as if you have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the key is not greasy at all.
In this way, Wen Wan was completely unrestrained, and drank a whole bowl of boiling water cabbage in a few bites, especially when she ate the cabbage heart, she kept chewing it in her mouth, and she was reluctant to swallow it at all.
After all the bowls of soup were drunk, Wen Wan came back to her senses, and couldn't help but give Wang Xiao a thumbs up and said, "It's so delicious." Wang Xiao, you ...... How can you make such a delicious dish, which is really called boiling cabbage, and why is it so delicious?"
[Shock point from gentle +23]
Feeling the shock of Wen Wan, Wang Xiao explained with a smile: "Yes, this dish is called boiling water cabbage, on the surface, it seems that there is only clear soup and cabbage, which is very shabby, but in fact, it ...... This dish must be made with the best Chinese cabbage hearts in the north, served with chicken, duck, pork ribs, seasoned with chicken puree, pork puree clear broth, and finally poured some chicken fat in the soup......"
According to legend, the boiling water cabbage was created by Huang Jinglin, a famous Sichuan chef who was highly appreciated by Cixi, in the imperial dining room of the Qing Palace.
When Huang Jinglin was a chef, many people derogatory Sichuan cuisine "only spicy, vulgar and rustic", in order to break the rumors and prove it, he thought hard for a long time and tried hundreds of times, and finally created the best dish of "boiling water cabbage", which was extremely complex and minimalist to the realm, and swept away the grievances of Sichuan cuisine that had accumulated for a hundred years.
Later, Huang Jinglin brought this dish back to Sichuan and spread it widely.
In 1954, Sichuan cuisine master Luo Guorong was transferred to Beijing as the chef of the Beijing Hotel, responsible for the state banquet. He brought the cooking technique of "boiling water cabbage" back to Beijing, which became a delicacy at the high-end banquets of Beijing restaurants. ”
Wen Wan drank the second bowl of boiling water cabbage, while listening to Wang Xiaojin talk about the origin and method of this dish, she simply didn't enjoy it too much.
However, when Wen Wan finished drinking the second bowl and wanted to drink the third bowl, she was stopped by Wang Xiao.
"I'm sorry! Wang Xiao, I'm ...... Am I a little greedy? However, the boiling cabbage you made is so delicious. I'd like another bowl, okay?"
In fact, any iceberg goddess, in front of real food, will take off their mask of pretending to be cold.
As the saying goes, in front of food, there is no goddess.
"Wen Wan, it's not that I won't let you eat. Rather, if you drink another bowl of boiling cabbage, you won't be able to eat other dishes. ”
Wang Xiao smiled, pointed to the other delicious dishes in the kitchen that were about to come out of the pot, and said, "The boiling water cabbage is just cooked by me to make everyone appetizing, and they ate too much greasy yesterday." ”
"Huh? Anything else?"
Under Wen Wan's shock again, Wang Xiao brought out one big dish after another from the kitchen.
These dishes are basically Wang Xiao instructed Jiang Tianyue to prepare the ingredients first, and after Wang Xiao came back, he quickly fried the cabbage while stewing boiling water.
Braised beef in red wine, black goat in dry pot, braised prawns in oil......
One after another, the dishes that were very appetizing were served, with all the color, flavor and taste, but Wen Wan was still shocked by Wang Xiao's generosity.
She originally thought that Wang Xiao brought herself home for dinner, but it was just some home-cooked food.
But this is simply more sumptuous and delicious than the banquet in the hotel!
"Sister Wen Wan, you eat quickly! Brother cooks every dish very delicious. ”
Wang Xiaoyu, who had been waiting all morning, had already begun to eat a lot, and the other four girls were no exception, although it was not the first time they had eaten the food made by Wang Xiao, they were still gobbling up, and they didn't care about any image at all.
"Ahh ”
At the beginning, Wen Wan gently pinched a piece with chopsticks, and then slowly sent it to her mouth.
However, after taking the first bite, all kinds of delicious molecules completely exploded in the mouth, and compared to the fragrant and refreshing taste of the cabbage in boiling water just now, these hard dishes completely brought out the flavor and chewiness of the meat to the extreme.
No matter how ladylike she eats, she can't have fun, and Wen Wan unconsciously gobbled it up with the four girls.
There's no way, it's really that Wang Xiao's dishes are so delicious.
Every dish is irresistible, who can withstand this!
Once again, Wang Xiao refreshed his image in Wen Wan's heart, and hooked up with a series of delicacies.
......
