Chapter 16: Egg Yolk Crab Treasure
Half past seven in the evening.
The buffet restaurant of the Intercontinental Hotel, which occupies an entire floor area, is beautifully decorated, with a variety of Chinese meals, teppanyaki, steak, and Western pastries...... The variety of dishes is dazzling.
Yin Xiaoyue looked at the food while shooting, and her eyes widened.
On this side, Xiao Xiaomei took several egg yolk crab treasures.
Steaming crab treasure.
The crab meat is removed, piled on top of the crab shell, covered with a layer of mayonnaise, and grilled for about 15 minutes, until the tender yellow sauce turns golden brown.
As soon as I bit into it, the charcoal-grilled crust burned Xiao Xiaomei's mouth.
Quickly blew a few times, she learned smartly this time, and carefully pried it with chopsticks, and the whole piece of crab meat fell off the crab shell.
Carefully pinched and put in your mouth, the first thing you taste is the slightly sour mayonnaise baked.
Tasting this taste, Xiao Xiaomei didn't think there was anything special.
It wasn't until she chewed it with crab meat that she tasted it.
The crab meat is fresh and sweet, and the mayonnaise is mixed with crab meat, and the slightly sour taste just now has been completely neutralized by the fresh and sweet crab meat, and the layer of burnt skin enriches the layering of the food.
After eating two bites of crab treasure in a row, Xiao Xiaomei was very satisfied.
Yin Xiaoyue was not busy eating.
She held her mobile phone to shoot everywhere, and many of the ingredients were made for the first time she had seen, and the thoughts that had been imprisoned before seemed to be opened at this moment.
A bowl of ordinary cream soup can be covered with a layer of puff pastry.
Press the puff pastry with a spoon and mix it with a soup with mushrooms and ham, which is both nutritious and delicious.
There was a queue ahead, and Yin Xiaoyue suspected that it was a very good delicacy
When she got closer, she saw a chef standing in front of a large iron plate, flipping the food on the iron plate. Looking at that little piece, it doesn't look like a steak, and it doesn't look like a lamb chop.
Yin Xiaoyue approached and saw that the thing was cut evenly and thickly, about a centimeter thick.
On the inclined plane, there are thin thorns like each other.
Look at the lines on the slice of that thing, circle in, like growth rings.
Seeing this, Yin Xiaoyue recognized what kind of ingredient it was.
This thing is a rarity now, and when Yin Xiaoyue was a child, no one would eat it at all.
When I was a child, every Chinese New Year, my father Yin Weimin would make a lot of pickled products, and the sauces he prepared were a must, sausages, bacon, pork ribs, preserved fish, etc., Yin Xiaoyue especially liked to eat.
But the best thing to eat is the cured beef tongue.
The cow was slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, and no one wanted the cow tongue, so Yin Weimin bought it back for a little money.
All kinds of sauces are marinated for three or five days, and then some pine branches or something, sealed and smoked for three or four hours, and then placed in a ventilated place to dry for ten days and a half months, and this cured beef tongue can be eaten.
The marinated beef tongue tastes crispy.
It is a very good choice to accompany wine, Yin Weimin occasionally has a free time, and he will take two sips of it, Yin Xiaoyue and his mother, when their mouths are idle, they will also chew two slices.
I make beef tongue every year, and I've been eating it for so many years, and I still don't get tired of it.
It's just that now, beef tongue is not as cheap as it used to be.
Its value is several times more expensive than beef.
People seem to have discovered its delicacy all of a sudden, and they all flocked to it, because of this, Yin Xiaoyue's family ate less than before.
The teppanyaki beef tongue in front of me is being carefully cooked by the chef.
Fresh beef tongue of very good quality.
Just a little coarse salt and black pepper to taste is enough to bring out its deliciousness.
The beef tongue is available in limited quantities, and each person can only take one piece.
The buffet of 588 people is really harsh, but this does not prevent diners from loving it. All the people in the team stretched their chins in anticipation.
In the long queue, there is also Xiao Xiaomei, it seems that she enjoys these delicacies very much, Yin Xiaoyue also wants to queue up to get one, and at this moment, she suddenly thought of Wang Xingfu.
When she left the room just now, Yin Xiaoyue specially told her about eating a buffet at night, and she hummed at that time, saying that she would let Yin Xiaoyue go over first, and go out soon after freshening up.
Looking at the time, it was almost more than an hour, but Yin Xiaoyue didn't see Wang Xingfu who was sleeping with him.
In the entire cafeteria, looking at the past, most of them are contestants.
Wang Xingfu really doesn't seem to be in the restaurant.
So, where did she go?
After taking a bite of the teppanyaki beef tongue, Yin Xiaoyue took another sip of puff pastry cream soup.
The crispy and tender beef tongue was paired with a mushroom soup wrapped in puff pastry, and Yin Xiaoyue's entire mouth was overflowing with a faint sweet taste.
Looking around, Yin Xiaoyue felt that the days of money were really good, living in this Intercontinental Hotel every day, eating buffets when hungry, swimming and steaming in the sauna or something, it was estimated that there was no difference from the gods.
No wonder so many people are squeezing their scalps to make money.
When Yin Xiaoyue was eating the buffet, Wang Xingfu was standing in the lobby on the first floor of the Intercontinental Hotel and looking around.
Just now, just before she was about to enter the hotel cafeteria.
She saw the woman.
The middle-aged woman in her fifties.
The only middle-aged woman who didn't vote for herself.
The moment they passed by, Wang Xingfu recognized her at once.
Turning around and about to chase after her, the woman had already entered the elevator.
The number on the elevator kept going down, and it didn't stop until it reached the first floor, and Wang Xingfu also followed, and when she came to the first floor, she looked at the hall and didn't see the woman.
I was a little disappointed.
Wang Xingfu actually wanted to find this woman and ask himself what the problem was.
The "Green Pepper Burst Skin", which she thinks is perfect in all aspects, is not as good as Yin Xiaoyue's "XO Sauce Burst Lotus White".
Seeing that he was lost with others, Wang Xingfu sighed and was about to go back.
At this moment, she glanced at the picture and found that the woman she had followed just now was sitting in the café in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, drinking coffee.
Wang Xingfu hurriedly walked over.
The woman who drinks coffee, named Lan Wenjuan, comes to drink a cup of coffee at this time of the day, the simplest Americano, a piece of chocolate cake, which is a habit she has developed since she was young.
Opposite Lan Wenjuan, another person suddenly appeared.
She herself was stunned for a moment.
Wang Xingfu looked at Lan Wenjuan flat, and she found that the woman in front of her, although she was a little older, gave people a very elegant feeling.
The woman wore a coffee-colored fur trench coat, and the leather looked very soft.
It is covered with black cashmere, and there is a sapphire necklace around her neck.
"What is my ringing skin, which is not to your taste?"
Wang Xingfu asked directly.
"Ringskin?"
Lan Wenjuan didn't quite understand what Wang Xingfu was talking about, she put down the spoon that ate the cake and asked, "Are you ......?"
Wang Xingfu leaned towards her: "On the day of the audition, out of ten judges, I got nine votes, you have five votes in your hand, but you only voted for one ......"
Lan Wenjuan tilted her head: "So, do you want to ask me?" ”
"That's not what I meant." Wang Xingfu explained: "I just want to know where I am not good enough, I just want to improve. ”
Lan Wenjuan sat up straight.
The girl in front of her is not very old, but she has a strong sense of purpose in speaking and doing things.
After Lan Wenjuan took a sip of coffee, she said softly: "Speaking from the heart, the taste of your dish is the best among the fifty-nine dishes." And the pigskin is elastic, and the heat is in place, which is very good! ”
After listening to Lan Wenjuan's evaluation, Wang Xingfu was even more confused: "...... So why? ”
Lan Wenjuan continued: "However, the fried pork skin, although it is delicious, is a little higher in purines, and it is not good for health at all, which is why I don't like it." ”
"Unhealthy?" Wang Xingfu frowned: "That Chaotou meat is originally a piece of discarded pork, and it requires health, isn't it a bit too harsh?" ”
Listening to Wang Xingfu's words, Lan Wenjuan just smiled.
When she laughed, the corners of her eyes were slightly wrinkled.
However, this does not hinder her elegance in the slightest:
"It's up to everyone, it's just my opinion, as a chef, no matter what kind of ingredients you face, you should be comfortable with it, instead of complaining."
"I'm not complaining." Wang Xingfu continued: "In terms of purines, shouldn't that sauce explode be more unhealthy than my ringing skin? Why would you vote for it? ”
"There's chicken heart white in the oil residue."
"Mine too......"
"That's hand-torn, yours is shredded."
"Hand torn ......?"
Lan Wenjuan took a sip of coffee: "Chicken heart lotus not only tastes fresh and sweet, but also rich in a lot of vitamins, ten times that of ordinary lotus white and cabbage. ”
Speaking of this, she paused: "I think that as a chef, you should not only consider the taste of the food, but also think more comprehensively, after all, people take food as the sky, and many things are easy to eat, but it is difficult to spit them out." ”
After Wang Xingfu left, Lan Wenjuan lowered her head and continued to eat the cake.
She was still not satisfied with the taste of this cake.
It's still a little bit sweeter.
Wei Jia, the manager of the Intercontinental Hotel, came to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, he walked straight to the café, and after sitting down opposite Lan Wenjuan, he called out respectfully:
"Mr. Lan."
