064th Steak, Western Food and Wine (Part I)
Xiao Chen came back soon, and the little mosquito had already killed the cow and deer and was cleaning up.
"Xiaoshuai, do you see if it's such cutlery? I brought a total of eight sets from my friend's place, and there are wine glasses like this. ”
Leng Xuan took a look, hey, it's really good, the wine glass is a glass goblet, and the knives and forks are all silverware, this elf king is really not ordinary, you must know that silver here is rarer than gold, much more expensive than gold, gold and silver are the legal tender of this hot-blooded continent, but the hard currency is Tianyang spar, this kind of spar can refine Tianyang Dan.
"Well, it's almost similar, that is, if the serrated meat cutting of this knife is more convenient!Big brother, how many friends do you have at the banquet today?"
"The two of you, plus the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother, are five. I also invited Senior Sister, but I don't know if Senior Sister Lu Dao will come back?Alas, she won't come over easily on this occasion!" Xiao Chen said as he seemed very deflated.
"Hehe, it's okay, big brother can go and see more, the girl is just to chase, you must stick to the end!"
"Hehe, I'm so envious to see your eldest brother!"
"Big brother is my role model, you make us so admirable!"
"Sir, what kind of meat do you want for this venison and beef?" asked the little mosquito.
"Xiaoshuai, what kind of meat do you say should be used?"
"Beef, just use tenderloin, which is more tender. Venison, just use venison leg meat to make venison skewers for barbecue!"
"Okay, just do what Xiao Shuai said, go, Xiao Shuai, let's go to the kitchen, you can guide us to cook. ”
"Ha Luha, I can only eat, I haven't cooked anything other than barbecue, I can only do it theoretically! The first time I do the next test, I must allow failure, if it is not good, I will step up research and improvement!"
"Of course, of course!"
"I think one black pepper steak, one serving venison with spices, one fruit and vegetable salad, and the right veggies, half a glass of wine, and a glass of juice or milk per person. One serving of soup per person, and I don't think there's any dessert, but I think that's enough. Black pepper steak with green and red vegetables, spiced venison with lettuce leaves. These are all ways to eat Western food, so that you can experience it, and you can also make hot pot, spicy Sichuan cuisine, Chaoshan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Hui cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine and other dishes of various styles and cuisines. That's more flavorful, that's everyone's real food!Big brother, what do you say?"
After Leng Xuan finished talking about Western food, he said that other Chinese cuisines and cuisines, mainly because he was afraid that Western food would not meet the tastes of these people and would not attract them, and he could also use other dishes that they had not seen and eaten to attract them in the future, since Xiao Chen loved to eat so much, then use food to make friends with him, Leng Xuan thought that he must not let this rare master miss it, such a master would be better able to help him cultivate, he thought that Xiao Chen regarded him as a friend mainly because of eating.
"Okay, just do what Xiaoshuai says. ”
Xiao Chen personally put on an apron, washed his hands and used the knife, instead of letting the little mosquitoes and butterflies on the side do it. This made Leng Xuan somewhat surprised.
"First grind the black pepper into powder, cumin leaves, anise, chopped green onions, shredded ginger, cauliflower, carrots, green and red peppers, starch, cooking wine, fungus, mushrooms, if you like eggs, prepare a few eggs. "Put cumin leaves, anise in the pot, a little pepper, salt, a little water, and boil the water starch in the pot. Paste and remove from the pan, remove the fennel leaves and anise, and set aside in a bowl. ”
"Cauliflower, carrots, respectively, take out, put a little oil, burst the green onion and ginger shreds, put on the green and red pepper fungus, stir-fry for a while, and then put in the cauliflower, carrots, add a little salt, seasoning to roll down, out of the pot! This is the side dish of steak, of course, it is not necessarily cauliflower and carrots, you can like any green vegetables, as long as you soak it, it is cooked, and it is not necessarily fried on the side, put other sauces or the black pepper juice just made is very delicious. ”
"This steak is the most important, use a pan, first add a little oil, cut a slice of beef, not too thick, pass it in water starch for a while, you can keep the beef smooth and tender, heat the oil into the pan, turn it over when it is ripe, sprinkle with a little fine salt and black pepper, and a total of seven mature out of the pot. Serve on a plate, serve with side dishes, and pour black pepper juice!"
"I like to eat eggs, while the pan is hot, fry an egg, one-sided or double-sided, and then put it on the plate together. Okay, this steak is ready, little mosquito, pour a little wine, let the big brother taste it in the restaurant!"
Leng Xuan instructed Xiao Chen to make steak step by step, following the steps and methods he had seen his mother make steak in another world, as well as the practice of the chef and waiter who had seen those sizzling steaks in the Western restaurant. That Xiao Chen is not only a eater, but also a top chef, that knife skill, and that skillful use of pot to control the fire, all of which made Leng Xuan dizzy and surprised. Soon Xiao Chen made a steak under Leng Xuan's instructions.
They came to the restaurant, Xiao Chen asked Leng Xuan to taste it first, Leng Xuan was not polite to come to the knife and fork, cut a piece and tasted it first, the overall taste was good, similar to what I had eaten in the world over there before, but this beef was more fragrant, just a little too ripe, a little old, side dishes or something, it felt much better than eating in a Western restaurant.
"Well, the meat is fragrant, smooth and tender, and the pepper juice is just right, it's just a little old, and next time it's a little bit controlled to seven ripe, it's even better, you can make this good steak the first time, big brother, you're really a god." Come, big brother with a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left hand, you can taste it too!" After Leng Xuan's comment, he was very satisfied, so he taught Xiao Chen how to use a knife and fork to eat steak, which is also the reason why they let Leng Xuan taste it first, because they didn't know how to use a knife and fork and how to eat Western food.
Xiao Chen learned to look cold, and also cut a small piece of beef, inserted it and put it in his mouth to chew, sure enough, it was a novel taste of beef that he had never experienced, which was not only different from roasted meat, but also the same as stir-fried, and even different from those stewed and boiled. When you eat that small piece, it is tender and smooth, and it is very refreshing and fragrant. He didn't bother to evaluate, so he hurriedly cut another piece and put it in his mouth. He couldn't stop nodding his head, revealing a kind of excited joy.
"Well, it's really good, I didn't expect beef to have this way to eat, it's so tender, so fragrant, so delicious. Especially when you eat it with a knife and fork, it has a special feeling and special flavor! Xiaoshuai, do you mean that if it is more tender, the taste will be better?"
"Yes, big brother, if the heat is lighter, it will be smoother and more tender. ”
"Okay, then we'll try it again right away, and we must do it to meet your requirements!"
"Big brother, don't worry, presumably your guests will have to wait for a while to come, there is time, you can eat another piece, and then eat some side dishes and some wine, see how it goes?"
"Good!"
Xiao Chen continued to taste according to Leng Xuan's words, and sure enough, when it was in his mouth at the same time as the beef, that feeling was a wonderful feeling he had never experienced, and he kept nodding his head when he ate it directly.
"I don't know if Brother Lu Dao has wine made from grapes here? If there is a good red wine to accompany you, it is simply a rare delicacy!"
"Oh, do you have any particular taste for what kind of wine you drink when you eat this steak, and does red wine go well with this steak?"
"Yes, red wine is a kind of wine, the best red wine is very precious, this good beef tenderloin is there, I don't know if there is a good red wine here in Brother Lu Dao?"
"I made wine once, but I haven't drunk it for many years, little mosquito, find out the wine and let Xiao Shuai taste it, is it the kind of red wine he said. ”
After a while, the little mosquito struggled to bring a large wine barrel.
"You stupid, you pour a glass, don't you just bring it, move a bucket over, you're not tired. Hehe, pour a cup for my second brother to taste. ”
"Put it in a goblet. Not only to taste it, but also to see its color. Leng Xuan handed over a cup, and at the moment when the little mosquito opened the wine barrel, Leng Xuan asked A strong aroma of wine, that is a sweet aroma, Leng Xuan likes it very much, and Zhilu Dao must be a good wine.
"Xiaoshuai, you first taste whether it is the kind of red wine you requested, I drank this wine once after it was made, and I haven't tasted it again after it has been sealed for more than a hundred years!"
Little mosquito, scoop a cup for Leng Xuan, Leng Xuan shook a few times, the color is ruddy and attractive, I tasted it, the kind of sweet and soft is refreshing, it is really a rare good wine, anyway, the taste is the feeling of Leng Xuan, in fact, Leng Xuan has not drunk much red wine, drinking red wine in a Western restaurant, what I want is that kind of atmosphere and that feeling.
"Well, it's not bad, it's not that pure, but it tastes good. Come, give the eldest brother a little, let him taste the feeling of eating steak and drinking red wine. ”
Looking at Leng Xuan's enjoyment, Xiao Chen couldn't wait, and the little mosquitoes, butterflies and Su Muyue on the side were almost drooling. Xiao Chen ate another steak, tasted a sip of red wine, and nodded his head while chewing.
"Well, it's really more delicious, that feeling is indescribable, delicious and delicious, come on, Xiaomei, little mosquito, little butterfly, you all taste it, hold a knife in your right hand and a fork in your left hand, and you have to learn to make such a delicious taste in the future, it's so delicious, this way of eating is really stylish. ”
"Alas, you can't find such a delicacy outside, and only here can I have a chance to enjoy it! If I want to eat it in the future, my eldest brother must take me over so that I can enjoy it." Hehe, let's go, big brother, let's continue to discuss how to improve, as well as spice venison rolls lettuce, fruit and vegetable salad, freshly squeezed juice, mushroom soup. Everything must be made exquisitely, which is called Western food. ”
"It's called a thin meal?"
"Well, it's a modified Western food, it's not authentic, but it's more suitable for our taste. ”
"Rare meals, indeed, are very rare. ”
"Hehe, big brother, it's the West of the West, not the rare one. It's Western food, not a thin meal. ”
"It doesn't matter what it's called, it's delicious anyway, it's rare, ha, it's strange and delicious anyway. ”
