Chapter 18: A Bowl of Noodles
"Bang ......"
The blade of the knife makes a light but rhythmic tapping sound on the cutting board, and the brand new kitchen knife gently taps along the cut body of the fish.
With the vibration of the percussion, the fish bones were quickly shaken out from under the fish, and then the big knife was replaced with a small knife, cut up and down, and then saw Zhao Ke shake slightly, and the complete fish bones were separated from the fish meat, one was not bad, and one did not fall.
"Beautiful!"
The four diners at the table couldn't help but widen their eyes and even hold their breath when they looked at the amazing knife work in front of them, but they couldn't help but praise the wonderful boning process in front of them.
Zhao Ke nodded and smiled, removing a large pink intestine from the blister.
Quickly slice and coat with a secret seasoning, mix the fish with red wine and pour it into the pink intestine.
"Intestines!"
Although he was amazed by Zhao Ke's magic knife work, he couldn't help but show a little disgust on his brows when he saw the large intestine that Zhao Ke took out.
People who can spare time to rush from the city to the outskirts of the city and spend a lot of money on a meal are naturally not ordinary people, either rich or expensive.
They are accustomed to eating top-notch ingredients to make food, and when they see the large intestine in the water, their first reaction is greasy, fishy, and not on the table.
Someone opened his mouth and wanted to ask if he could change it to another dish, but before he could ask, he saw Zhao Ke wipe his hand on the large intestine, wrap it in a layer of breadcrumbs, and casually throw the large intestine into the oil pot.
"Zizi Zi ......"
A stream of green smoke erupted along the oil pan, accompanied by a very light fruity aroma, sniffed carefully, and lifted the smell with a little bit of plum smell, which made people intuitively tongue and appetite.
When the breadcrumbs on the large intestine had turned golden and shiny, Zhao Ke quickly took out the large intestine, replaced it with a pot of oil, and fried it again.
It was fried three times before and after, and if it was changed to other dishes, it was estimated that it would have been blown up a long time ago, but the large intestine in Zhao Ke's hand became brighter and brighter the more it was fried.
After the third time was fried, Zhao Ke took out the large intestine, took out a brand-new kitchen knife from the cupboard, and gently placed everything on the large intestine.
"Hoo ......"
A smell of wine was fragrant, and I saw that the cut large intestine was not fatty fat, but translucent scarlet fish, like a jewel-colored soup, dripping down the plate along the incision, exuding a strong aroma of wine.
Wipe off the irregular red juice on the edge of the plate, Zhao Ke gently put a piece of mint on the plate to decorate, with the golden skin, the large intestine on the plate, more like a beautiful work of art.
If they hadn't witnessed the whole process of Zhao Ke's cooking, I am afraid that they would not believe that this dish was actually made from the large intestine.
"Red wine and large intestines, please use it slowly."
Serving the plate, the four diners in front of them couldn't care about what the ingredients of this dish were made, and couldn't wait to put it in their mouths, "click, click, ......" First, there was a crispy and crispy sound, and with the peristalsis of the mouth.
What follows is the aroma of glutinous and delicious meat, as well as a strong aroma of wine, but if you taste it carefully, in addition to the aroma of wine, meat, there is also a fragrance, that is, plum.
The texture layer by layer, exploding on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, is simply addictive.
"For the first time, I knew that the large intestine of a pig could still do this."
One diner couldn't help but marvel that he had eaten three Michelin stars and had never tasted such a delicious dish.
"No, it's not the pig's intestine, it's ...... Bear intestines. ”
Zhao Ke gently scrubbed off the oil stains on the blade with a damp cloth, and at the same time corrected what the other party said wrongly.
"I see, I used to think that the price of this house was indeed a bit expensive, but now it ...... Great value for money. ”
Hearing Zhao Ke's explanation, the four of them suddenly realized that they didn't bother to ask about the origin of the bear intestines.
For him, this dinner was simply happier than any banquet he had attended before, it was not a party, it was more like a treat, from the sight to the taste of enjoyment.
Zhao Ke's red wine intestine, different levels of taste explosion, amazing at the same time, is a feast on the tip of the tongue, as if they are participating in a huge celebration, making their whole mood happy.
The banquet lasted until three o'clock in the morning, and the four diners left with a satisfied face, and everyone was in good spirits, eager to go home and immediately find a mother-in-law to fight for 300 rounds.
After tidying up the table and taking stock of the remaining ingredients, the fresh ingredients purchased today are said to only last for three days, but now with the postal album, it is different.
Converted into the postal album, these ingredients are completely fixed inside, and will never rot and spoil, which is a function that refrigerators do not have.
After cleaning up, Zhao Ke lay on the chair, took out the silver cigarette case from his arms, took out a cigarette and put it under the bridge of his nose and sniffed it gently.
At this time, Zhao Ke heard the sound of a tricycle outside the door, raised his eyebrows, and knew: "It's Lao Zhang who is here." ”
Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and the heart was still at this point.
As mentioned earlier, Zhao Ke has a vegetable farmer who is responsible for delivering vegetables, and he comes to deliver vegetables at this point every day.
However, a few days ago, there was a heavy rainstorm, and the vegetable farmer who was sent here every day has not come to deliver vegetables for several days.
However, Zhao Ke already planned to return all of Lao Zhang's future orders in his heart.
Maybe the heavy rain is the reason why Lao Zhang can't come these days, but for Zhao Ke, these are not in his consideration.
"Jingle Bell ......"
Not long after, the bell hanging on the door rang, and a very loud voice was heard: "Hello, I'm here to deliver food." ”
"You? What about Lao Zhang? ”
Zhao Ke heard the sound and took a look, the young man standing at the door in front of him, probably the appearance of twenty-three or four, looked a little similar to Lao Zhang, standing at the entrance and did not walk in.
Hearing Zhao Ke ask Lao Zhang, the young man's expression darkened for a while, and the corners of his eyes suddenly moistened: "On the night of four days ago, it rained heavily, and I pushed the cart to deliver food, but I was hit by a big truck, because the rain was too heavy, and the monitoring couldn't see the license plate number clearly, so ...... There is no news of the driver who caused the accident now. ”
As he spoke, the young man took out a note from his bosom, which was crumpled and stained with blood.
"This is the dish that my dad told me to send here when he was dying, and by the way, I apologize to you, he can't come in the future."
Zhao Ke took the note and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the menu he had written to Lao Zhang before, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The acquaintance is not short, Zhao Ke has a good impression of Lao Zhang, but he didn't expect it to be gone.
Looking back at the young man whose face was already full of tears, Zhao Ke nodded and said, "You will deliver food in the future?" ”
"Well, I will deliver, I guarantee that it will be delivered on time every day, my family's dishes, you can rest assured, and I will never cut corners." The young man patted his chest and assured Zhao Ke.
It's just that after saying that, he couldn't help but gurgle in his stomach, which made the young man's face inevitably a little embarrassed.
Zhao Ke looked at the bloody note on his hand, asked the young man's name, and after learning that the other party's name was Zhang Lei, Zhao Ke nodded and asked him to bring the dishes in.
"Good!"
Zhang Lei is young in the end, his hands and feet are nimble, baskets of vegetables are neatly put into the back kitchen by Zhang Lei, and after Zhang Lei finishes his work, as soon as he comes out, he smells a fragrance, and his stomach is suddenly even hungrier.
Zhao Ke waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Lei to sit down.
"Toot toot ......."
There was a noodle boil in the soup pot, Zhao Ke casually made two sugar eggs, put them in a bowl, a little chopped green onion, a spoonful of soy sauce, a spoonful of white vinegar, a little seasoning, and after the noodles were cooked, they were served in a bowl with soup with noodles.
"It's dark and cold, and it's not good to be hungry."
Looking at the bowl of noodles handed in front of him, a familiar sentence made Zhang Lei's eyes red and couldn't help sobbing.
Holding the bowl of noodles, he stuffed it into his mouth one by one, and he couldn't wipe his tears, snot, and Zhang Lei.
He couldn't eat the taste, but he knew that this was the most heartwarming bowl of noodles he had ever eaten in his life.
………………
At noon the next day, Zhao Ke woke up from his sleep and lay in the black coffin, Zhao Ke stretched out his hand to summon the stamp album and turned to the last page of the exchange list.
The page opened, and a line of bright red blood words appeared in front of Zhao Ke, "The next package will arrive in three days, please pay attention to check." ”
