"Later. When the dish reached Liaoning. Liaoning people are also according to their own ideas. A new attempt was made. In fact, this version of Liaoning's pot wrapped meat is in production. Everything else is no different from the original. The real difference is in this last step of sauce preparation. ”
"The Liaoning version is based on the original sweet and sour taste. Learn and learn from some of the preparation methods of "sweet and sour sauce" in Cantonese cuisine. The cooking techniques of the north and the south are well integrated in this dish. Pot-wrapped meat with its own version of the characteristics is made. This version of the pot meat adds richness and depth to the flavor of the sauce. But it also weakens the crispiness of the original to some extent. There is also a clear difference in color. More intense and eye-catching. The two versions can be regarded as having their own wins. Anyway, it's my personal taste. I prefer the Liaoning version. ”
An Ran almost applauded when he heard this. He is worthy of being the editor of the food column. Although this column has only been opened for a short time. But the editing is really quite professional. Tell a piece of history vividly. Stacked. As a result, I patronized and listened. The smooth movements in his hand have slowed down by more than a beat.
Chu Feifei was not fully satisfied with what he heard. Started asking questions again. "Sister Lan. You didn't just say that. Do you want to talk about how Zheng Xingwen became a chef in Daotai Mansion? ”
"Ahh That's right. That's right. Sister Lan continued. Enron followed the request.
Thereupon. At the unanimous and strong request. Lan Qing went on to talk about the legendary experience of this "Binjiang Ancestor".
Her voice is not as crisp as an ordinary woman. Rather, it's a little hoarse. reminds An Ran of a certain female pop singer. There is a little sweet sexiness in the low-lying temptation.
When a variety of sauces such as ketchup and jam are heated, the wonderful taste that comes together spurts up on the nose. Enron's pot wrapped meat is officially freshly cooked. And Lan Qing's food story also happened to end.
The golden-red pot is served in a shiny white dish. The colors are more bright and lovely. An Ran decorated two laces with sliced strawberries and oranges on the edge of the plate, one red and one yellow. to add variety.
The second dish is Longjing shrimp.
It is also a famous dish. It's not complicated to make. But there are two key points to grasp. First, the ingredients are more particular. Second, the heat is more important.
It is said that it is particular about ingredients. Mainly for the north. Longjing new tea is rare. It's a little better at this point. New tea is rare. The old tea will also be served. This would have been more than a decade from now. Don't talk about Longjing new tea. It is Longjing aged tea. You've spent a lot of money. It took a lot of effort. Don't even think about buying the real thing.
Fortunately, the ingredients are not exquisite. The main ingredient is still affordable. The shrimp is a large river shrimp that was bought early in the morning early in the morning by Jiang Chengzhuo. When I bought it back. 100% fresh.
I heard Enron say that you want to make Longjing shrimp. Wei Zhi asked again. "Do you know the legend of Longjing shrimp?"
An Ran and Chu Feifei heard her words. Immediately, they were very cooperative and rushed towards Lan Qing together. Very inquisitive and shook his head vigorously. Says we'd love to hear the story.
Lan Qing made the three of them laugh. Then I started to read the words. "'Hugh thinks of the old man and the old country. And try new tea with new fire. Poetry and wine take advantage of the youth'. It was said. This is where the original inspiration for people to make Longjing shrimp comes from."
The story that began with Su Dongpo's "Wangjiangnan" is still fascinating. But Enron didn't dare to listen distractedly. The movements in the hands do not stop for a moment. I'm afraid I'll miss the best heat.
This dish is made. It's fast. Smooth the shrimp in the warm lard. It can be fished out in more than ten seconds. Then boil the pot. Put the shrimp. Pour in the tea leaves and tea soup that have been brewed long ago. Add a little rice wine. Salt. Monosodium glutamate. Stir-fry twice quickly. You can thicken out the spoon.
For those who have done a good job of cooking. The dish started quite quickly. didn't wait for Lan Qing's story to begin. An Ran's Longjing shrimp has already come out of the pot.
Next up is the French Blue Tonka.
This time, I didn't wait for Wei Zhi to ask. An Ran asked directly. "Sister Lan. Is there any origin for this dish? ”
Thereupon. Lan Qing's food story is back on the scene. But. Her story is still unfinished.
The steak of this dish is also preserved with cheese. Hung up the pulp. At this point, just fry it in the pan. The story is still only at the beginning. The pork chops are already on the plate.
Next. Lan Qing's food story had to be suspended. Now there are only two dishes left. Sweet and sour lotus root slices and celery almonds. For Enron. These two dishes are even simpler. I hired three assistants. Serving soup of soup. End plate of end plate. Pour the drink of the pour drink. And said. Wait until they're done. The two dishes on her side are also out of the pot.
And so it is. Wait for the three of them to cook properly. An Ran has already brushed out all the woks. Even the counter was wiped down. Then Chef Ann untied his apron. Announce it loudly. Please take your seats. Eat.
Enron and Lan Qing drank wine. Wei Zhi drank cider. Chu Feifei, who couldn't get a drop of wine, drank the comprehensive juice that he blended himself.
Because of the relationship with the previous food story. The atmosphere between the four of them is also relaxed and harmonious. It's time to eat. There is also less restraint. Ten dishes. A table was full. Lan Qing first tasted two bites of everything. Nodding to Enron. "Xiao An. The craftsmanship is good. ”
Enron refused to hold it up. Let her comment seriously. Give her a little more advice.
Through the series of food stories just now. Enron saw it. The food editor in front of me has a very tricky and well-informed mouth. For such an experienced and expert diner. It's not good to use it for advice. I'm so sorry for myself.
Originally, it was because it was the first time the two had met. Although it seems to be in a good mood at the moment. Have a good time with. But after all, they are not familiar with each other's temperaments. His speech and demeanor are still full of strangeness, restraint and tentative politeness. Besides, the other party is a high school student who is better than himself. Lan Qing was very careful at first. Be careful with your wording. Later, I saw that Enron listened to his opinions quite seriously and sincerely. The questions asked were also very detailed and professional. I gradually let go of my worries. Begin to talk about your feelings without reservation.
It turns out. Enron's feeling is indeed not wrong. Lan Qing did have a very powerful mouth. Explain the details of some dishes meticulously. Like what. That pot wrapped meat. She only tasted one bite. I was a little surprised. Ask. "You added some other jams, didn't you?"
Enron did mix some homemade mixed jam in the sauce. Add a fruity flavor to the dish.
Lan Qing first nodded in affirmation of Enron's attempt. Then I took a few more sips. Then he made some suggestions of his own.
Her opinion is clear. The advice is unique. Very enlightening for Enron. She couldn't help but pull out the notebook again. Wei Zhi and Chu Feifei couldn't help but twitch the corners of their eyes. Hang a black line on the face. Lan Qing even made her completely incompatible with eating and chatting. Inexplicably, it seems to be a lecture in class.
After Enron reacted to what he had done. It's also a bit of embarrassment. I almost covered my face and got under the table. No way. I'm used to taking notes. It's all a reflex problem.
However, due to her previous convulsions, she was already shameless enough. You can't do anything like "stand out" like getting into the table. So I could only laugh dryly and push the note away. Raised his glass and said. Learn from Uncle Zhao. Be kind to the guests. "Eat well. Drink well. ”
As a result, Lan Qing suddenly patted An Ran's shoulder and laughed after being stunned. "Xiaowei. There is personality. I like it. ”
An Ran's hand holding the wine glass was slapped by her and trembled. Silently sighed sadly in my heart. Eldest sister. Your taste is so unique. Do you like to watch people?
Don't look at Lan Qing, this person is talking about food. I am a pure theorist who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers. In her own words, yes. "Say it. Do it and set it on fire. "I want to eat the food she cooked. Definitely risking your life. One thing that requires a high sum of money.
So far. An Ran can be regarded as having a clear understanding of Lan Qing's attributes. This sister is clearly a professional foodie of pure theory.
She is interested in everything that has to do with eating. Carefully taste each of Enron's own fruit wines. Every step of the production process is carefully inquired. After drinking. And give his own opinion. The comments are concise. But every sentence can get to the point. It made An Ran entangled for a while. My fingers always want to touch my notebook and pen.
When Lan Qing talked about food and food stories, he changed the impression that he had given people concise words. Very talkative. The other three were particularly fascinated by the listen. From time to time, I asked. And then what. And then what. Amazed and amazed. It turns out that behind these delicacies. There is also such an unknown history.
Chu Feifei sighed. No wonder it's a gastronomic culture. Gastronomic culture. Food is not only about people's understanding and use of food. At the same time they are generated. Development and change often hide a period of folklore, which can be romantic or majestic. Celebrity anecdotes and even history with blood and tears.
The dishes on the table were quickly consumed and transferred to the stomach pouches of the four during the chat. Eat half full. The rate of eating is also slower. One of them held a drink and sipped it slowly. The topic also extends from various food gossip.
Lan Qing, Wei Zhi and An Ran all like to travel. It's just that Enron didn't have a chance in his previous life. In this life, I only have leisure and money in these two years to wander around Jinling. Not far. And Lan Qing and Wei Zhi are because of their profession and their hobbies. I've been to quite a few places. Talking about the scenery and the experience of the trip. and a variety of delicacies along the way. It's all about making people forget to eat.
