Chapter 261: Entering the House
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but sigh:
"The feeling of the fox and the fake tiger is so good~~"
Ge Sanpang tilted his head and curled his whiskers, his hands behind his back, and his huge round belly, like a white goose patrolling the territory, proudly walked past these black-clothed guards, and the adventurers also followed behind, arrogantly and swaggeringly.
It wasn't until everyone's backs entered the backyard that the black-clad guards dared to straighten up. They looked at each other for a moment, and the leader of the guard frowned:
"I feel that something is wrong, you guys keep watch, I'll go inside and report it."
“……”
The passenger throughput of Dengxian Building is huge, and this kitchen naturally occupies a wide area. When everyone walked through the small door, there was a series of 'zila' stir-fry sounds in their ears, and the rich aroma of food lingered on the tip of their noses, and when they took a deep breath, every cell in their body seemed to be cheering and excited, excited for the upcoming food gluttony.
Including Qin Fen, all the adventurers present had their throats squirming slightly. Subconsciously swallow saliva. Without him, the desire for food is not just a woman's patent~~
"Damn, it tastes so good, I feel like my saliva is going to flow out."
"Let me let go of my belly and eat, I can eat ten bowls!"
"I can eat twenty bowls of Jean in front."
"There will be heavy thanks on a good day, thirty bowls will be served!"
“……”
Not to mention these teases, I entered the backyard and soon someone greeted me. But he was a fat man with a red face and a shiny face. This guy shouted from afar, and said in a loud voice:
"Oh, isn't this Ge Laosan, why do you have time to come here to play today?"
Ge Sanpang snorted, a little reluctant to pay attention to him, squinted his eyes, and said lightly:
"These sons and gentlemen who came from other places have heard that Dengxian Tower can eat delicious food that can't be eaten in ordinary places, so they shouted to come. The old man couldn't survive it, so he specially ordered me to bring them over and let them choose their own ingredients. ”
The fat chef touched the back of his head, and although it was a little strange, he didn't think much of it. After all, it was not the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, and in the past, there were often gentlemen and second ancestors who came to choose ingredients. So he waved his hand and said:
"On the other hand, I still have something to do, so you can take them to pick it up yourself." After speaking, he closed his eyes and crossed his legs and hummed an unknown tune.
Under the leadership of Ge Sanpang, a conscientious 'traitor', everyone passed through the heavy outer defenses and entered the kitchen.
It's time for dinner, and you can imagine how much work the backyard cooks have to do. As far as the eye can see, two long rows of pots and stoves are connected, and at least dozens of chefs are turning shovels diligently, and the rich aroma is accompanied by the boiling heat.
From spicy crayfish to pickled tuk xian; From Lanzhou ramen to white chopped chicken...... Roast lamb sprinkled with cumin, sizzling squid dipped in sauce, spicy chicken wings, grilled oysters, fried pork tenderloin, vegetable skewers, ...... Each dish is full of color, flavor and taste, and it looks excellent.
"Well, I think this dish is good." Qin Fen pointed to a plate of spicy crayfish on the table. The crayfish is ruddy in color and spicy, and the index finger of the person who hooks it at a glance moves greatly, and the saliva is secreted rapidly.
Ge Sanpang stretched out his hand to bring the plate of crayfish, licked his face and smiled:
"You taste it, evaluate it, these cooks have to beat, otherwise I don't know how lazy they are."
Qin Fen shook his head, now was not the time to be greedy, he was just reminded of the dish of crayfish. The craze for spicy crayfish swept the streets of the Celestial Empire, and from spring to early autumn, the "crayfish nocturnal" has become a ritual - a group of friends find a seat in a crowded stall, sit on a plastic bench, and ask for a bucket or two of spicy crayfish to eat. To eat spicy crayfish, you don't need chopsticks at all, you can get started. With a few bottles of cold beer, the taste is unusually sour...... The seemingly ordinary days have become a few beautiful memories in life, and life is to learn to cherish the present.
Along the way, there are a variety of dishes, everything is available, according to Ge Sanpang's introduction:
"These chefs come from all over the country, and here, you can eat any taste you want, see that short man who doesn't smile? That's right, that guy's ancestors have been the imperial chef in the palace for three generations, and he hasn't been poached yet! And that tall, thin guy who wears a big white robe all day long, seems to be the cook of the Great Food Country......"
Most of these dishes are known to everyone, and even if you can't tell them at a glance, you can find familiar comparisons from memory. For example, a plate of fried rice noodles with a golden color and verdant dots. Refreshing rice noodles are served with special sour bamboo shoots and capers, served with fried peanuts or minced garlic, chopped green onions, coriander and chili peppers...... Just looking at it makes people appetize.
There is also the common pickled Du Xian in the Lingnan area, which is a 'seasonal delicacy', taking fresh and tender bamboo shoots in early spring every year, salted meat prepared in winter, plus a broth base, accompanied by a louver knot and simmering over low heat, without salt and monosodium glutamate, a pot of thick soup is filled with a wonderful fragrance, I didn't expect to see this kind of memory in this era.
Along the way, Qin Fen suddenly smelled a strong 'foul smell'. The smell was extremely stinky, and when it was inhaled deep in the lungs, it caused the stomach to be hungry, and instead the illusion of a strange fragrance rose. That's right, this is stinky tofu that "smells bad and tastes good".
Stinky tofu is a fermented soy product that is especially popular in Hunan, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, Taiwan, and other places. The recipe for stinky tofu varies from place to place, but it's definitely addictive. Despite its "sharp" taste, stinky tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it has its own flavor when dipped in chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and even kimchi.
The stinky tofu is lumpy, golden in color, and it is very convenient to eat, and everyone rushed up to the plate and quickly divided the plate of stinky tofu.
Moving on, Qin Fen suddenly caught a glimpse of a sauce-red object the size of a pot lid flipping in the country out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but ask:
"What is this?"
The cook explained:
"This is a kind of monster produced in the Qingshui River, the crab demon. It tastes delicious. ”
Everyone suddenly realized. No wonder it's so familiar, isn't it a boiled crab!
When it comes to eating crabs, it's actually an elegant thing. The ancients also invented eight pieces of crabs for this purpose, a crab came up, cut off two large claws and eight crab legs with scissors, gently knocked the waist hammer around the crab shell, and then split the back shell and navel with a long-handled axe, and then took a drill, tweezers, fork, hammer, or pick or clamp or fork or knock, take out the golden butter crab roe or milky white sticky crab paste, and take out the snow-white and tender crab meat...... After eating, the shell can also be put together into a "hairy crab".
In addition to steamed hairy crabs, this 'round' and unattractive chef also made a good crab feast - stir-fried crab roe, crab roe tofu, steamed crab meatballs, crab roe xiaolongbao...... Eating crabs, drinking, and appreciating chrysanthemums were great pleasures in the world for the ancients.
Then you can also see a colorful bird, which has a very interesting name "Phoenix Demon", but in the eyes of adventurers, it is just a relatively rare bird. As for whether it is a monster or not, it is still up for debate, but one thing is certain...... Make them into food, and they taste pretty good.
It looks like it's a distant relative of the duck. At this time, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, the ducks eaten by the gourmets are varied, from salted duck to osmanthus duck, the most popular is a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup.
The vermicelli is served with duck blood, duck intestines, duck liver, and tofu, ginger juice, and mustard vegetables...... Put it in a large soup bowl, and finally sprinkle with chopped shallots, coriander, and pepper and stir gently. It is cooked without seasoning, the color is golden, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, accompanied by shrimp soy sauce, and you will never get tired of eating. The meat is delicious, but the most delicious thing is the bones, which can be sucked with a sauce to create a strange taste. It is a signature dish of Dengxian Tower.
Surprisingly, there are still relatively rare snakes, scorpions and other ingredients here. For example, one of the boiled bullfrogs is a flavor dish favored by the public. The specific method is also very simple: wash the bullfrog, peel and chop it, marinate it and stir-fry it with chili, pickled pepper, Sichuan pepper, bean paste, etc., and then cook it and serve it on the table, the soup is still bubbling; Everyone gathered around this large bowl of boiled bullfrogs, accompanied by fragrant rice, which was spicy and stimulated people's taste nerves.
Along the way, everyone devoured a lot of flavored snacks, and at the same time, they also filled their bellies, which made people addicted. Further back, there is the warehouse where the ingredients are stored, which is also where the destination is.
