Kosenda was full of praise for Sakai's craftsmanship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tadaji Sakai just smiled and sandwiched a scallop between Matsudaira Motoyasu and Tadakatsuya Honda.

After Matsudaira Motoyasu and Honda Tadashi ate it, they were all the same as Gao Xianda, their pupils dilated, their pores opened, and they looked unsatisfied.

Tadaji Sakai said proudly, "This is a specialty of our Mikawa, called Sail Libei. It is named because when it is usually opened, one shell looks like a small boat, and the other shell looks like a sail standing up. Compared with shellfish produced in other places, not only the shellfish column is larger, but also has a sweet taste.

Gao Xianda and the three nodded again and again after hearing this.

Scallops are also produced in Sunfu, but they are very small and the flesh is not large, so they cannot be called "scallops" at all. The flesh is coarser than ordinary mandarin duck shells, and there are some fine grains of sand in it, which cannot be spit out even if it is blistered.

That's why Coxenda doesn't like the local shellfish in Sunfu.

But the scallops here in Okazaki are so delicious that they are not a thing compared to shellfish found elsewhere.

Gao Xianda was a little impatient, and hurriedly urged Sakai Tadaji to hurry up and bake some more. But although Sakai Tadaji said yes, his technique was very stable, and he was not in a hurry at all, and he was still just slowly roasting. He was very careful about the heat, for fear of ruining the delicious taste that nature had given him.

After the third round of scallops, the seafood chowder soup in the cauldron was almost ready.

Sakai Tadaji went to fetch some sauce, added it to it, stirred it lightly, let the sauce dissolve in the soup, and then boiled it for a while, then brought a soup bowl and gave it to Gao Xianda and the three of them.

Gao Xianda brought the bowl, it was just a crude pottery bowl, but the effect of heat insulation was not bad, even if it was a hot soup just out of the pot, it was not hot in your hand. There are a lot of things in the bowl, mostly small seafood with a head and a little worse quality, including small fish, small shrimp, small shells, and some thick-cut kelp.

The thick kelp has become soft and glutinous after stewing, and when you bite into it, it has a facey texture, but it is not too soft and affects the taste, and it can withstand repeated chewing in the mouth.

The kombu has a salty taste of the sea, but it is not offensive. Gao Xianda felt as if he was in the vast sea, and his heart was extremely open-minded.

I didn't expect Tadaji Sakai to be such a good chef! Ko Xianda was full of praise for Sakai Tadaji's cooking skills.

But Sakai Tadaji just waved his hand and said, "It's just a small skill of carving insects." The real food is yet to arrive. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper took out some tofu, and Sakai Tadaji cut it into thick slices with a knife, put it in a boiling soup pot, and simmered it with seafood. After simmering for a while, the tofu was completely absorbed in the umami of the soup, and then the three of them scooped up a few slices. Let them eat it with soy sauce marinated in small fish.

The taste of this tofu is different from the seafood before.

The tofu is old tofu, but after special treatment, the beany smell in it has disappeared, and the small hole in the middle of the old tofu can completely absorb the umami in the seafood soup.

In this bite, there is not only the softness of tofu, but also the fragrance of seafood, which is no less than eating a top-notch sashimi dish. Even top-quality fish may not taste like this. The fish sauce soy sauce enhances the umami of the tofu and further sublimates it.

The fish sauce itself has a fishy smell, which Gao Xianda didn't like originally. However, when mixed with the flavor of tofu, the fishy smell is greatly reduced, but the umami flavor is retained.

Gao Xianda couldn't help but be a little obsessed, but he didn't expect that it would be just a dish similar to white water boiling tofu dipped in soy sauce, and he could eat such a feeling.

"This is our cotton tofu from Mikawa." Tadaji Sakai explains, "It has both the boilability of old tofu and the taste of silk tofu. Cooked with seafood soup, it is the most delicious delicacy. ”

"Indeed, indeed!" Gao Xianda ate a few pieces of tofu in a row, completely ignoring the fact that he was burned to his tongue by the tofu because he was in a hurry.

"Is that what you call 'good stuff'?" "It's delicious!" ”

"It's not there yet." Good stuff isn't getting done so quickly. Sakai told Kosenda to be more patient.

He asked the shopkeeper to bring some wine, poured it for everyone, and raised a glass to Gao Xianda.

Gao Xianda did not refuse, and drank the shallow bowl of wine.

Okazaki's sake is not the same as that of Sunfu.

The wine of Sunfu is softer, which is more in line with the luxurious atmosphere of the Oriental Little Kyoto. Okazaki's sake, on the other hand, is crisp and spicy, representing the fierce style of the people of Mikawa.

These two wines are not superior or inferior, but Gao Xianda, who is used to drinking spirits, feels that Sanhe's wine is more palatable.

This spicy sake is served with fresh scallops and smooth tofu, and the three flavors are perfectly combined. Especially after experiencing a cruel war just now, Gao Xianda seems to be in the middle of the battlefield again, holding a spear, looking up to the sky and roaring, with a heroic passion.

After three rounds of wine, Gao Xianda's sweat was steamed. At this time, the so-called "good things" of the store finally came out after a long time.

The shopkeeper carries a small basin with a bright red sauce with a cone-shaped object in the middle of the sauce.

Matsudaira Motoyasu and Honda Tadakatsu had never seen anything like this, and they were a little dumbfounded, not knowing what it was or how to eat it.

But this kind of thing, Coxenda is very familiar with.

"Well, isn't that just an elbow...... Gao Xianda muttered to himself.

Gao Xianda's voice was not loud, but he was heard by Sakai Tadaji. Sakai Tadaji's eyes suddenly stood up, and he said, "My lord is really good eyesight!" I even know its origin, could it be that I have eaten it before? ”

Gao Xianda said in his heart: "This thing is not too common. "It's just that meat is forbidden throughout Japan. Gao Xianda once searched for pork in Junfu but could not find it. It's a "good thing" to be able to see elbows here!

Gao Xianda didn't answer, but directly stretched out his chopsticks and tore off a piece of flesh. The flesh was shiny, trembling in the hand, saying that it was flesh, but there was not much oil.

Gao Xianda stuffed the large piece of meat skin into his mouth in one gulp, and suddenly a sweet juice gushed out, not greasy at all, and sure enough, it was already time to stew.

Gao Xianda chewed greedily on the skin, the aroma of oil filling his nostrils. If you have to use one word to describe Gao Xianda at this time, it is "happiness"!

This is the meat that Gosenda has been looking for for a long time!
