Chapter 25 Learning from each other

Gu Qingyu dragged Xie Changxuan to the kitchen, but was pulled back again. With a serious face, he asked, "How much do you know about Western food?" ”

"Fur!" Gu Qingyu really doesn't know much, he used to only study the differences between Western food and Chinese food, and he really didn't know much about others.

Xie Changxuan remembered the series of divine operations she had stolen from the dragon to the phoenix, pressed the restless Gu Qingyu on the stool, and popularized the knowledge of Western food.

"Western food, as the name suggests, is the food culture of Western countries, and in many Western countries, the cuisine of each country is also different, just like our domestic Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine. There are many main classifications of Western food. ”

"French cuisine is more particular about eating half-cooked or raw food, the processing is fine, the cooking is exquisite, and the taste is even stronger and lighter; British cuisine generally focuses on seafood and various vegetables, and the amount is small and delicate, and the taste is bland. ”

"Italian cuisine, which focuses on the original flavor, is generally more intense, in fact, most Italian people like to eat pasta. Italian pasta can be made into dozens of different types of shapes, colors, and flavors; American cuisine is developed on the basis of British cuisine, the dishes are simple, and the requirements are simple and fast. ”

"Russian cuisine, with a strong taste, mostly like bacon, ham, etc.; German cuisine is not exquisite, does not seek flashiness, only affordable nutrition. There are also some other cuisines, such as the light and elegant Greek and the Spanish often braised meat and seafood. The same ingredients, different methods, will be very different. Which one do you want to learn? After Xie Changxuan introduced the differences of all the cuisines, he waited for Gu Qingyu to make a choice.

Gu Qingyu: Of course, "......" is to learn all of them! However, with her current time and experience, she probably can only choose one.

Thinking about what Xie Changxuan had just said, Gu Qingyu combined his own characteristics and finally chose a French dish.

Xie Changxuan was not surprised, because he had already expected it, "Then today I will teach you the French style of pan-fried foie gras steak." Just arrived this morning. ”

The two of them entered the kitchen one after the other, and Mrs. Xie and Mama Wu walked out from the direction of the room. Mother Wu sighed, "The relationship between the young master and the young lady is so good, very similar to when the old lady and the old lady were young!" ”

Mrs. Xie looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, although when the two of them met for the first time, there was a little estrangement. But according to the way the two of them get along now, I hope that when Xie Changxuan thinks about it in the future, he will not have much reaction.

"In their era, I was different at that time." How can she compare with today's young people?

Mother Wu smiled softly, "Old lady, don't you think that the eyes they look at each other are full of love?" ”

"Accompany me to the backyard, and leave it to these young ones in front!" Mrs. Xie left quietly, and Gu Qingyu and Xie Changxuan in the kitchen were very happy to cooperate in learning to cook.

After Xie Changxuan took all the ingredients, he stood behind Gu Qingyu and started the mode of oral teaching, turning her around.

"Slice the foie gras, marinate it with a small amount of salt, put it in the refrigerator, take it out and spread it with flour, fry the two sides of the foie gras in a pan over low heat, boil the apples in red wine with less sugar, and pour them over the foie gras after cooking. Finish! ”

It took only fifteen minutes before and after the foie gras steak to do just that. I pressed the off button on the stovetop, and I felt a sense of pride.

Gu Qingyu took out a knife and fork and cut off a small piece to taste, it tasted good.

The operation of the whole dish is her, but the time is all Xie Changxuan. Even if you don't do it, the time and taste are the same. It's rare for two people to cooperate so tacitly.

"It turns out that Western food is quite easy to make!" I knew it was so simple, and I would have studied it before, otherwise I wouldn't have lost so badly in the last finals.

However, before Gu Qingyu could be happy for a minute, Xie Changxuan spoke again, "I won't speak this time, you can do it yourself again." ”

When Gu Qingyu heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said in astonishment, "I already know, I don't need to do it again." ”

Xie Changxuan took away the plate of foie gras in her hand and pushed Gu Qingyu back to the side of the stove, "Do it again to enhance your memory." ”

Gu Qingyu: "......" can be done, isn't it just a simple Western food, what's so difficult?

Gu Qingyu thought to himself, in order not to be looked down upon by Xie Changxuan, Gu Qingyu took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and started a new foie gras steak journey.

Xie Changxuan on the side was holding the foie gras, obviously his stomach was already very supportive, but when he saw the food cooked by Gu Qingyu, he still couldn't control his appetite. Pick up the knife and fork on the side and eat the foie gras steak one bite at a time.

After eating it elegantly here, Gu Qingyu over there has also done it, the taste is not as fragrant as just now, and the appearance is not as good-looking as just now. Gu Qingyu tasted it without speaking, and spit it out.

"The steps are all right, why is it so bad?" Gu Qingyu studied the foie gras in her hand, her face full of unhappiness.

Xie Changxuan took Gu Qingyu's plate, and after smelling it, he found the problem, "You have too many ingredients, and the foie gras steak has been fried for too long, so the oil on the foie gras has come out and has become a small piece, and it will not taste fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside." You control the time. ”

Gu Qingyu thought back to the first time, and it made sense. Before Xie Changxuan could speak, she had already devoted herself to a new practice.

Xie Changxuan looked at the foie gras steak in his hand, revealing a look of helplessness, he knew that he wouldn't eat so many dumplings just now. It's really embarrassing now, I can't eat if I want to, but I don't want to eat it...... Hey, he's so hard.

A day spent in Xie Changxuan's teaching and tasting, Gu Qingyu learned a lot, and Xie Changxuan was afraid that he would have to run more than thirty laps to be able to digest all these foie gras.

With Xie Changxuan's guidance, Gu Qingyu's Western food can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, and she has learned the classic dishes of all major cuisines, and she has also figured out the things that should be paid attention to in each cuisine. Although it is not possible to achieve 100% restoration, it is basically possible to eat.

Xie Changxuan didn't have much idea about Chinese food, and once thought that Western food was better than Chinese food, but I don't know if his stomach has been nourished recently, not to mention that he likes to eat Chinese food, and he wants to learn Chinese food well.

The help of two people and the progress of each other are obvious to all. And because learning dishes is too wasteful of materials, the two of them have already covered the lunch and dinner of the whole family and the maid. The maid was relaxed, and he was even more moved by Xie Changxuan and Gu Qingyu.
