Chapter 7: Of course, the meat should be eaten in large pieces

The reason why the food culture is broad and profound is precisely because the taste of food has always been thousands of people, but high-quality deliciousness can often conquer thousands of people.

After two days of fermentation, Zhang Mingchuan's Shanhai Food Garden gradually began to spread in the small circle of diners, and the mysterious takeaway restaurant with only two dishes is limited to one per meal, and diners who have tasted it want to share it with the people around them, so they can only open the official takeaway platform to place orders themselves.

In this inner city of Xijing, no matter what location, the magical phenomenon of fifteen-minute delivery has slowly become an urban legend.

But the dishes of this mysterious Shanhai Food Garden takeaway restaurant are still too single, even if Ma Yuanjing, who loves steamed fish, the frequency of eating three meals in two days is already the limit, and the curious Secretary Li finally had the opportunity to taste the cuisine of Shanhai Food Garden, and gradually, the employees of the entire Yuanjing Trading Company also began to know that there was a takeaway restaurant frequented by Boss Ma, who was not bad for money, recently.

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Mingchuan, who was full of spirits, was ready to fight in the desolate world again, and the fright when he saw the flying cyan dog before also turned into curiosity about the magical creatures in the desolate world.

After cleaning up, Zhang Mingchuan, who opened his mobile phone, was startled, in just two days, the sales of steamed fish and dried mushroom golden egg fried rice have broken ten, reaching an astonishing double digits, you must know that Shanhai Food Garden sells not ordinary ten yuan and twenty yuan a takeaway, the cheapest dried mushroom golden egg fried rice is 88 yuan a piece, and the takeaway data with a per capita unit price of about 150 yuan in front of you, even in Xijing, the provincial capital, is already about the same as a medium-sized restaurant.

Seeing that the turnover had doubled on the second day compared to the first day, Zhang Mingchuan felt that the money spent on buying frangipani was worth it.

Zhang Mingchuan, who was in a happy mood, entered the mysterious space again, and the tasks on the Xuanqi Gate also changed.

"The mountain of corpses, looking north at the mountain, there are many gold and jade on it, and there are many thorns under it. There is a beast, its shape is like an elk and a fish, the name is called a beard, and its song is self-reliant. "The door on the right is revealed.

"Please cook a [perfect quality of the beard soup], hint: the beard has a magical effect on the eyes." The door on the left is shown.

"This door of the Xuan Xuan also gave a special hint to the strange beast Hu, it seems that the effect of this clear purpose should be very unusual." Zhang Mingchuan couldn't help but think of the flying cyan dog he saw the day before yesterday.

At the foot of the Corpse Hu Mountain, in a calm sour jujube forest, a young man with a backpack suddenly appeared.

"It's not as difficult to catch an animal in such a large mountain as it used to be when you find a river, and it's not difficult to find a pine forest and slowly search for a dry fungus that doesn't move." Zhang Mingchuan looked at the small red sour dates on the surrounding trees, which was very tempting, picked a handful of sour dates, wiped them clean and put them in his mouth.

"It's crisp and juicy, but it's really sour enough, it's a goddamn chef's instinct." Zhang Mingchuan, who was so sour that his facial features were twisted together, stopped tasting.

The sour taste is like the taste of green first love, which is refreshing.

The breeze blew the leaves, and the tall sour jujube leaves just blocked Zhang Mingchuan's vision, coupled with the dense branches that needed to bend down to pass through from time to time, Zhang Mingchuan struggled to shuttle through the jujube forest.

Fortunately, I put on thick boots before I came, so that I could not be afraid of the thorn branches on the ground, and after tightening my trouser legs, the sound of creaking footsteps echoed in the quiet jujube forest.

Walking out of the jujube forest, looking at the top of the mountain, I only saw the green grass scattered all over the mountain with a golden metallic luster, the rough gold ore was exposed on the surface, and the lawn seemed to be made of gold to form a mountain.

Since ancient times, the wealth has touched people's hearts, and the rough gold ore reflecting the dazzling light has been placed in front of Zhang Mingchuan's eyes without warning, looking at the wealth within reach in front of him, "With these gold mines, what kind of takeaway shop to open, it is no longer a problem to buy the entire Xijing City." Zhang Mingchuan thought excitedly.

Zhang Mingchuan, who is mature and calm on weekdays, did not expect that one day he would be able to walk to the peak of his life so easily, but after quickly calming down, he thought that a person with a weak force would smelt and purify these gold mines and solidify them into gold, and finally find a way to let these self-smelted gold flow into the market safely.

"I can't imagine that one day I will be able to experience the feeling of stepping on gold and walking on my feet. This kind of card that only the top local tyrants have, it feels really awkward. Zhang Mingchuan, who knew what he wanted, no longer cherished the gold ore under his feet.

Finding the beard is Zhang Mingchuan's main goal when he came to this mountain, according to the living habits of animals, there must be animals near the water source, and it is better to wait for the rabbit than to look for it aimlessly.

Looking at the animal footprints everywhere by the river, Zhang Mingchuan took out the traps left by his grandfather when he went hunting in the mountains and arranged them around.

"At that time, the bow was found, but unfortunately the arrow could not be found, and it would be more convenient if you brought a bow and arrows, and it seems that you will have to prepare a compound bow and a batch of arrows in the future." Zhang Mingchuan, who had set up the trap, hid in the shade of the jujube forest and began to wait patiently.

The sun gradually set to the west, when you are hungry, you eat a bag of big raccoon noodles, and when you are thirsty, you drink mineral water, and finally when the sky is full of red clouds, a beard that looks like a deer is not a deer, and has a big fluffy tail walks out from behind Zhang Mingchuan, ignoring Zhang Mingchuan who is squatting in the grass, and walks straight towards the river.

Seeing that Yu Hu perfectly avoided every trap, he turned around and planned to leave after drinking the water.

Zhang Mingchuan looked at the concubine who was about to run, and was anxious for a while, and couldn't help but shout: "Stop!" ”

Unexpectedly, the beard who heard the sound did not run away in fright, but turned around curiously, and then ran to the place where the sound came from, staring at Zhang Mingchuan with its big watery eyes.

Zhang Mingchuan was also stunned, he didn't expect that Yanhu was such a curious animal, why bother waiting for a day so stupidly.

"To sacrifice one of you for the benefit of all mankind, you have to pay for the worthwhile." Zhang Mingchuan looked at the concubine in front of him, and said silently in his heart.

The first time he came into contact with this ingredient, and it was difficult to catch, Zhang Mingchuan was more cautious when cooking the beard, first taking a part of the lean meat on the beard and testing its meat quality.

After Zhang Mingchuan experimented with most of the meat, he finally clearly understood how long it took to cook it to be in the most perfect state.

Although the soup is called soup, it is closer to the southern stew and only needs to be accompanied by a few simple seasonings, so the most important step is to master the maturity of the meat.

Zhang Mingchuan used a pot of Yanhu broth to try, summed up the comments on the door of Xuanjiao, and finally gave birth to another pot of [perfect quality Yanhu broth], and began to cook Yanhu soup.

Because the head meat has eyes, nose and ears, it will be much more troublesome to deal with than the fine meat, scald off the hair on the head with boiling water, and then use a spray gun to clean the remaining hair roots on the skin.

Then Zhang Mingchuan cut off the ear and nose, cleaned the mouth, put the whole cleaned head into the casserole, added ginger slices, long pepper, star anise, boiled over high heat, and then turned to low heat to boil, and stewed in the casserole for four hours and 23 minutes, during which the lid was not opened to prevent the pot from leaking out, and the whole process was grasped by experience.

After opening the lid, Zhang Mingchuan poked lightly with chopsticks, and then plunged directly into the meat, the time was not long or short, and he took out the completely stewed mustache head, and peeled out the meat on it, just in case, Zhang Mingchuan also deliberately took out the beard, tongue and brain flower, and put it alone.

After cutting the peeled meat, Zhang Mingchuan put the meat again into a clear broth that had been simmered for more than six hours with the backbone bones and fine meat of the beard, and then boiled and added a little salt and pepper.

Finally, put the beard, tongue and brain flower into it, and a beard soup is ready.

This dish can be said to be the most time-consuming of the three dishes at present, but in terms of the techniques required, it is also a home-cooked dish, because it does not require any complicated techniques, it is a single ingredient and a single method.

The reason why Zhang Mingchuan can clearly know the practice of requiring these dishes on the door of Xuanqi is inseparable from the ancestral recipe of the Zhang family, which records the dishes that the ancestors of the Zhang family have learned for generations.

When he was a child, Zhang Mingchuan didn't understand why the ancestors of the Zhang family collected and recorded so many dishes, and asked his grandfather at that time, but his grandfather couldn't tell the reason, but just told him that this was the ancestral teaching, which was the inheritance of the Zhang family. It wasn't until recently that he got the Jade Medal of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and entered the world of the Flood and the Desolation that he deeply realized the meaning of that heavy cookbook.

【Perfect quality of the beard soup】

Recalling the special hint on the door of Xuanyi, Zhang Mingchuan picked up the beard, the completely stewed beard was milky white, a bit like the texture of jelly when clamped, put it in the mouth, bit through the surface of the Q bomb, a delicious soup burst in the mouth, and when I wanted to taste it again, it disappeared without a trace. Pick up the other one and continue to put it in your mouth, feeling the impact of that moment again, and the fleeting feeling is even more nostalgic.

Coupled with the delicate and soft brain flower, the chewy mouth, and the thick taste of the meat, this beard soup keeps staging a trio in Zhang Mingchuan's mouth.

Finally, he took a sip of warm soup with a hint of pepper, which simply dispelled Zhang Mingchuan's fatigue from a day in the desolate world.

The takeaway platform has also automatically updated [Yanhu Tou Soup], with a price of 388 yuan, optional: brain flowers, mouth strips.

Looking at the new dishes, diners who have already eaten the marrow and know the taste also received a subscription reminder for the first time, but seeing the price of 388 made some people hesitate, after all, everyone didn't know what kind of animal the beard was.
