Dream back to Chang'an City 053 The essence of taste
The second dish, after it was served, the shopkeepers actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if it's someone who doesn't know it, it's too shameless.
Fortunately, this dish looks like an ordinary boiled cabbage.
The so-called woad is the cabbage we talked about first.
There is a record in "Tang Materia Medica", saying that there are three kinds of woad vegetables, namely tripe, purple woad and white woad, which are actually three kinds of dishes.
It was also one of the main vegetables in the Tang Dynasty.
And boiling Chinese cabbage is also the most popular way of cooking.
To be honest, the dish just now was too amazing, although this boiled dish was recognized by everyone at a glance, but many people were still a little disappointed.
In other words, it's a sense of disparity, which is probably the same as a king crab on our first dish, and then the next dish gives you a fried shredded potatoes after eating.
But when these shopkeepers picked up the dish and put it in their mouths, their faces changed again.
Careless!
I thought it was just ordinary boiled cabbage, but I didn't expect to find out when I ate it in my mouth, it shouldn't be boiled.
Because the texture of the woad is still crunchy, and they are only now reacting, if it is cooked, the color of the leaves will also start to yellow, and it should definitely not be so green.
And under the cabbage, there is another mystery.
This is actually a plate of stir-fried cabbage with white mushrooms.
Because there are too few vegetables in Datang, Tang Ping specially bought enough vegetables this time, and originally planned to eat them for a few people in his family for a month, but this time for today's matter, it was finished in one day.
is still the same sentence, for the people of the Tang Dynasty who have never eaten stir-fried vegetables, this is true, and it can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow.
The crispness of the cabbage and the fresh fragrance of the white mushrooms buried underneath give everyone a different experience.
Moreover, this dish first uses oil to fry the onion and garlic, and then adds soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and other condiments to enhance the flavor and freshness.
So it looks ordinary on the surface, but as soon as the major shopkeepers eat it, they once again conquer their taste buds.
And for the interest in this dish, they are bigger than the scrambled eggs with tomatoes just now.
After all, no one has ever seen tomatoes, and they don't know where to get them.
If you can't get tomatoes, the dish just now will be for nothing, and it's useless to learn how to do it, because you don't have any raw materials.
But this dish is different, although there is no white jade mushroom, but the mushroom is not too rare.
The taste of a mushroom that can be eaten should be very similar, and this dish is even more common, if you learn this dish, it will naturally be good for each family's business.
At this time, the shopkeeper who was more active had already guessed that the reason why the taste of this dish and the eggs just now was different from what everyone usually made must be because of the different cooking methods.
Many shopkeepers have begun to regret that they didn't bring the chef in their store today, after all, those people are people who have been squatting in the kitchen all year round.
If they were to try the dishes, they would be able to guess how they were made.
What's more, he has secretly picked two spickins from the plate and put them in his arms.
I thought I would return to my restaurant and let the chef try it to see if I could find a way to restore the taste.
Of course, Tang Ping saw these small actions, but he didn't stop them, if there was no iron pot and the use of food oil to replicate the same stir-fry, it would still be difficult.
Later, there was a dish of mapo tofu and back pot meat, which surprised the shopkeepers of these restaurants, and they were even more curious about the mysterious chef who did not appear.
And for the last soup, Tang Ping repeated the old trick again, a bowl of green vegetable soup with salt, but no monosodium glutamate.
Just put a small paper bag in each tray with a little MSG in it.
The restaurant shopkeepers, who thought that this soup would be different, found that this was actually an ordinary dish soup.
Soon, however, someone discovered the small paper bag inside the tray.
"What is this?"
"I don't know, it looks like salt, but it's not the same."
"What does it mean to be in this tray? Do you want to put it in the soup? ”
At this time, Tang Ping walked out and arched his hand to everyone: "I want to make such a trip today, just to do this MSG business with you." ”
"MSG?"
"Is that all? Can you eat it? ”
"MSG, which means the essence of taste, of course you can eat it, you can try it first, what is the difference between the Chinese herbal soup with MSG and the one just now?"
"The essence of taste? That's not a small name! Liu Fatzi put the MSG in the small paper bag into the soup.
Scoop another scoop with a spoonful.
"Hmm......" Liu Fatzi's eyes narrowed slightly, fresh! It's so fresh!
This person named Tang Ping doesn't know what the origin is, but he can ask the second son of the Cui family to help him make a post and invite everyone to come over, and the background is not ordinary.
However, he is just a shopkeeper, and Tang Ping's identity has little to do with him.
What he cares about is this thing called MSG in front of him!
Liu Fatzi turned out to be a cook, and his dishes were average, but he was tactful, and then he slowly became the shopkeeper of Bazhen Building.
The major restaurants in Chang'an have their own characteristics, such as the wine of Wangshulou is a must, when it comes to which restaurant in Chang'an City has the best wine, everyone is recognized as Wangshulou.
And Bazhen Lou occupies a fresh word!
Their dish is a fresh word, now drink this Chinese cabbage soup, and then think about the other dishes just eaten, if there are some of these things called monosodium glutamate, no wonder there is always a strange fresh fragrance in it.
As one of the big restaurants in Chang'an, Bazhenlou wants to make such a fresh soup, okay?
Of course, but the cost and materials are extremely high, and with a small handful of the thing called monosodium glutamate in front of you, you can make such a big bowl of fresh soup.
Buy it, you have to buy it!
Liu Fatzi secretly made a decision in his heart, not because this thing has a great effect on Bazhen Building, but if other families buy this thing, the impact on Bazhen Building will be too great!
It is impossible for them to say that they bought MSG and lowered the quality of themselves, and replaced the fresh soup that was originally made with chicken, sheep, mushrooms, etc.
But they can't Bazhen Building, it doesn't mean that other restaurants won't, if other restaurants can make a soup that is worse than Bazhen Building with only this MSG, then his only advantage in the Chang'an restaurant industry will become of course gone.
Liu Fatzi understands this truth, who doesn't understand the people present?
There were even a few shopkeepers who subconsciously looked at Liu Fatzi's side.
