Chapter 39: Lingyun's Private Kitchen
Through chatting, the two became familiar with each other a lot, and they no longer had the same life as before.
Wei Yi is a person who rarely mentions the past, and it happened that Liu Linlin was about to take the college entrance examination, and when he remembered his youthful memories of the college entrance examination, he was moved and opened up.
And Liu Linlin herself is a very optimistic and cheerful person, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to ask for a photo with Wei Yi at noon.
Therefore, the two chatted quite closely, and there was no situation where they did not speculate for more than half a sentence.
The two chatted for more than an hour, and seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Yi got up and said goodbye.
Liu Shusheng seized the opportunity and agreed with Wei Yi that when Liu Linlin's college entrance examination was over, he would fry a few dishes in the restaurant and have a few drinks together.
Wei Yi naturally agreed without hesitation.
Except for pork knuckle rice, Wei Yi doesn't know anything about the level of Liu Shusheng's dishes, and he doesn't know how the craftsmanship is, so let's take a look at it when the time comes, anyway, it's the atmosphere that eats, not the dishes themselves.
Even if it is a home-cooked side dish that is not very delicious, Wei Yi is happy to eat it.
Driving back home, Wei Yi took a shower, changed into pajamas, and then had time to pick up his mobile phone.
There is an unread message on WeChat, which was sent by Lu Yuanling.
Tomorrow is the time of the last meeting, the time and place of the food tasting, and other information, Lu Yuanling sent it all in one go.
Glance.
The way each person sends messages is closely related to his own personality.
Lu Yuanling's way of sending messages can be seen at once that he is a resolute person.
In contrast, Wei Yi's reply was very simple, two words are good.
Lu Yuanling couldn't help but be surprised when he received the information.
In the past, when dealing with those so-called gourmets, just replying to this kind of information, various scenes and words emerged one after another, refreshing his understanding of the vocabulary of gourmets.
Wei Yi's two words are simple and clear, not dragging his feet at all, but also about his temper and character.
Daughters are easy to get, but confidants are hard to find.
Is it possible for Wei Yi to become his confidant?
Lu Yuanling didn't dare to be sure easily, everything remained to be seen.
Nothing was said all night.
Lingyun Private Kitchen.
Located in the magnificent and prosperous East Tower of Guangdong, the unique theater-style space design and VIP boxes are available to meet all the needs of top guests.
The private chef culture of the special membership system, with exclusive butler service, exclusive access to the chef's special dishes, has absolute privacy and absolute luxury.
In other words, it's a restaurant that's not open to the public.
Despite this, the daily membership reservation is full, and the latest reservation has been scheduled for a week later.
However, Lu Yuanling was not satisfied.
His requirement for Lingyun's private chef is to be perfect, to develop every dish in the restaurant to the extreme, so that all the guests who have tried it will know the taste and forget to return.
Wei Yi looked at the antique signboard made of precious yellow rosewood in front of him with the four big characters of Lingyun's private kitchen, exuding a refreshing and rich spicy fragrance.
Wei Yi doesn't understand the timber market, and it is estimated that it is expensive.
Since there were no members, Wei Yi was stopped at the door by a greeter in a gorgeous cheongsam.
After Wei Yi reported to his home, the greeter immediately reacted and used the walkie-talkie to confirm Wei Yi's identity.
After receiving an affirmative reply, the smile on the greeter's face became even stronger, and he walked in with Wei Yi cordially.
Coming to a special box, Wei Yi saw a familiar face, Lu Yuanling.
"Wei Yi, here."
"Brother Lu."
The two shook hands and said hello, Wei Yi was curious: "Is it just the two of us today?" ”
"That's right, I don't want idlers and others to affect our meal, please take a seat." Lu Yuanling beckoned Wei Yi to take a seat with a smile on his face.
Wei Yi sat down as he said.
If it was before, Lu Yuanling would not use the word dining, but would only use the word tasting.
Because those gourmets never eat up a dish, whether it's delicious or not, they only eat one or two bites.
Lu Yuanling understands Wei Yi's rules, so the word dining is the most appropriate for him to try dishes.
This also means that the number of dishes that Wei Yi tries here every time he comes here will not be much, only the food of two people.
At the same time, it also means that Wei Yi will come here a lot in the future.
Gourmets have always charged per visit, and Lu Yuanling had been impressed by Wei Yi's ability to appreciate food last time, so he didn't care about the cost at all, and would pay according to the highest standard treatment.
Lu Yuanling can afford it, and sincerely thinks that Wei Yi is worth the price.
This box is Lu Yuanling's exclusive box, and the housekeepers and waiters used are also exclusive, and will not be used to serve ordinary members.
At Lu Yuanling's suggestion, the waiter served the first dish of the day, and Lu Yuanling made a gesture to invite him to eat, so he didn't say a word more.
Wei nodded slightly, and his eyes looked at the first dish on the table today, the bamboo lamb brisket pot.
In Chinese cooking, the form of pot has always existed, and in the world of pot there is also the domineering spirit that everything can be cooked, and the people of Guangdong who are jokingly called standing at the top of the food chain by people from other provinces pay attention to whether the ingredients are fresh or not, and whether they can meet the needs of the taste buds, the most important thing is to maintain health.
That's right, Zhizhu lamb belly pot is a medicinal diet, which is very rich in protein, and is a good product for strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi.
For the people of eastern Guangdong, mutton has always been regarded as a great tonic, and the mutton used in the bamboo mutton pot is the belly of the black-headed sheep.
The biggest difference between black-headed sheep and ordinary sheep is that the meat of black-headed lamb is tender, juicy, and has a high lean meat rate, which is praised as "diamond-level mutton" by people who love to eat mutton.
The soup of the bamboo lamb brisket pot is a mutton soup made by boiling the sheep's head, mutton bones and mutton for at least 3 hours with the black-headed sheep, and the lamb belly pot with southern milk is also added to color, and the mutton belly pot with the southern milk, the unique fermented umami of the bean curd sauce can stimulate the freshness of the mutton, and the pale red mutton soup is a bit different.
Wei Yi picked up a piece of lamb brisket that was fully immersed in the soup and had a uniform color, and sent it to his mouth to taste carefully, the taste was crispy and transparent, refreshing and tender, fragrant but not greasy, rich side dishes, yuba, water chestnut and carrots, and improved the taste level of this dish, crisp and soft.
The slight deficiency is that the lamb belly still has a trace of mutton flavor, which ordinary people may not be able to eat, but Wei Yi, who has a sensitive sense of taste, can easily identify this taste.
Next, Lu Yuanling and Wei Yi ate the bamboo mutton in a pot.
Today's theme is still to try dishes, so I won't put all the dishes on at once, and after the first dish is finished, Wei Yi gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and began his review.
"The overall taste of the bamboo lamb brisket pot is delicious and tender, and the fly in the ointment is that the mutton belly flavor of the lamb belly is not well handled, which seriously lowers the taste of the whole dish."
