Chapter 10 Refinement

Hunger can make people irritable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention a group of people who have never eaten anything good in their lives.

Gail, Bart, Kate, Cathy...... Except for Sanny and Leo, almost everyone denounced Louis in their hearts.

When is it time for him to buy ingredients?

What ingredients do you need to choose in Sunset City?

Except for minced meat, they don't expect food in the city, they only expect ramen.

But it's useless to think so much, the reality is that without Louie, there is only salted dried fish, but now I eat this dried fish, salty, dry and astringent, and the feeling is different from every time I eat it before.

"This kid ......," Gail exasperated, "if it weren't for ...... I really want to!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, as if he heard something, and Bart moved faster, and opened the door at once.

There was a "crunch" sound, and people looked out the door in unison.

Louis looked at the door that opened automatically, slightly startled, but still walked in very calmly, and everyone's eyes were indignant.

"You kid don't go out for so long next time, we've been waiting for you to know?"

The people looked at the bulging hides in the hands of Louis and Black Pudding, and although they were strange, they did not pay attention to it, but just grimaced.

"Let's go make ramen," Cathy said, "and we didn't eat anything in the morning." ”

The days and nights are short in Sunset City, and there are few people in this city who eat three meals a day, which used to keep them hungry, but now they are purely for taste.

Everyone urged Louie to cook the noodles, and Kate shared the weight for Louie, and while walking to the kitchen, she also took a look at the things wrapped in animal skins.

The people outside were now relieved, and continued to sit by the fire and wait to eat noodles, although they were hungry, but when they thought of it......

It's okay, wait!

As soon as Kate came out, one of them asked, "What did you buy?"

"There was no meat, it was all bones. "Kate's voice is odd.

"Didn't buy anything, it's all bones?" someone wondered.

"There's no meat at all, it's all bones. ”

Now people wonder, "What do you do when you buy bones?"

"Who knows, feed the dogs?" Kate sat down confused.

There were two sled dogs in the backyard, and they usually threw a few bones to pass away, but Louie bought these things early in the morning, and he couldn't read them.

Feed the dog?

People frown, there is still leisure to feed dogs in this world?

But before anyone could say anything, the door was suddenly opened again, and when they looked back, they saw Leo and Sanny coming back from outside in the snow, and their faces were not very good.

As soon as they entered, they walked to the fire and sat down, and when they saw that everyone was eating dried fish, they immediately wrinkled their brows.

"How?"

Everyone ignored the bone matter for a moment and asked about the situation.

They had planned to ask Leo and Sanny to meet with the captain of the main gate guard and find a way to extend their stay at the Reesburgh Hall, but because Kate suddenly returned and was tempted by the ramen for a day, the matter dragged on until now.

Leo was furious: "I didn't see anyone at all! I ran out of money, and I didn't see anyone with identity!"

"Those people also sarcastically said to us, 'Either you leave when it's time, or spend some money to get a permanent residence, don't just want to stay here', where is Lai? I don't want to stay in Sunset City!"

In an instant, everyone blackened.

Of course, they understand the situation, and this so-called "spending some money" is simply a huge amount of money, which can completely squeeze out all their money and food.

Sunset City's policy is like this, it is very forgiving to the poor and the outcast, but it is like a lamb to the slaughter to the rich, although the treatment of the two is different, but it is a balancing act for the superior.

In order to obtain the protection of the city wall, the rich people have to go bankrupt to survive, and once they settle down, they have no capital, they can only live here in peace, and it is not easy to leave Sunset City again in the future!

For a while, everyone was in a bad mood.

"Why didn't that kid bring the ramen yet!" one of the mercenaries suddenly shouted.

The other mercenary said, "Guess what he's doing?"

"Do what?"

"I just took a look, and the kid was massaging the bones......"

“......”

......

Louis is cleaning the blood from the bones and kneading them regularly.

Any ingredient has its habits, and what he has to do is to feel and sort out their habits, and release the original flavor of the ingredients themselves.

Bone broth is a very simple dish, and the simpler the dish, the high-quality ingredients come first.

The glacier water and the ice bear are extremely pure and fresh, and they meet the requirements perfectly.

Then occupying the second place is the pre-work.

Removing the smell and removing the blood is a very important step in the bone broth, and Louie used two buckets of water to treat it successively.

First select the appropriate hind leg bones, where the bone marrow is sufficient, the bones are thick, rich in collagen, and the taste is the best.

Then blanch the water and carve the bones.

This is a step invented by Louis himself.

However, unlike the art of bone carving, here he only slightly modifies the bones to increase the beauty of the shape and meet the comfortable bite of the mouth.

Louie handled it very skillfully.

These bear bones are all very fresh and distinctive, the outermost layer is pale yellow, but the inner part is as beautiful as ice crystals, and you can clearly feel the color of the ice and snow seeping through it when you scrape it with the blade of a knife.

Use a boning knife to gently scrape off the color of the surface, cut a little waist-like outline in the middle, vaguely carve some lines, pick out the excess tendons, retain the white tendons, and carefully cut the edges to reveal a rounded arc.

In each bite, you can bite into the tender white muscles, bite into the delicious ice pink meat, suck the soup on the surface of the bones, and drink the most essence of the bone marrow......

It's definitely a treat at the pinnacle of beauty.

After carving the bones, brush the bones with onions or ginger and soak them in another bucket to remove the blood, the process should not be too long, not too short, just moderate.

When the blood is cleared, the most important thing is to simmer.

The technique of simmering the soup is simple.

The first is to simmer the bones in cold water to prevent the surface protein of the meat from coagulating due to high temperature, and the nutrients cannot be fully melted in the soup.

The second is heat control, simmer slowly and slowly heat, so that the umami of the bones can gradually overflow and fill the soup.

The third is that no ingredients are added, so that the bone broth will taste more pure and fresh, and then put a little salt after it is ready, and suck more is the original aroma of the bones.

However, Louie still added a little white vinegar when simmering the soup, the white vinegar is brewed from barley, the taste is pure, not thick or light, used to precipitate the calcium and phosphorus elements in the bones, and also ensure the vitamins in the soup.

At the same time, he also wrapped a little ginger in fine gauze, and then covered the pot and simmered slowly, for more than two hours, waiting for the umami to blend by itself and release it slowly......

......

In the room, people had already eaten the ramen that Louis had made, but they were not very happy, and this time everyone had a consensus, that is, the portion was too small.

But Louie pretended to be mysterious, saying that the real ramen was still to come.

What is really ramen?

Could they still be eating fake ramen?

Just when people began to get hungry again, a strange smell slowly wafted from the kitchen......

This is different from the almost tasteless aroma of ramen, which is so light that it is rich and mellow, and everyone can smell it not only on Gail's dog nose.

Everyone turned around in unison, and when the black pudding came out of the small kitchen and brought out a bowl of bone broth, everyone was stunned.

It's beautiful!
