Chapter 626 [Eating]
It took nearly 20 minutes for the chef to bring the loast camel and lamb to the gravy rice in front of everyone, and in addition to the main course, everyone had a bottle of Lafite in front of them.
The red wine is all in the decanter, and now that the food is on the table, Yang Nianzhong, as the host, took the lead in standing up from the chair with the red wine glass. At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Nianzhong, the head of the family, Yang Nianzhong smiled at everyone with a wine glass, and then raised the wine glass and said with emotion.
"Now the mystery has finally been revealed, and everyone has seen it, this is a big dish I have prepared for you, and it is also the national dish of Arabia, roasted camel."
"How can you eat good food without a good wine? The decanter placed in front of everyone is 82-year-old Lafite, and today there are no servants, no bodyguards, and no bosses, some are members of the Yang family. ”
"I want to thank everyone for taking care of the Yang family, it's rare to relax today, let's open up to eat, open up to drink and drink to your heart's content, we have to have a good time, tonight is a carnival night."
"Now let's raise a glass to tonight's party."
"Cheers"
"Cheers to Carnival Night."
Everyone giggled, drank the red wine in the cup, and then sat on the chair with the knife and fork in his hand, and began to taste the food on the plate in front of him.
"Mom Anne, this big dish I prepared today is special enough, eat it while it's hot."
Saying that, Yang Nianzhong took a fork and forked a piece of roasted camel and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, so beautiful that he even closed his eyes. Although the camel meat in the mouth has been roasted for a few days, in addition to a layer of burnt lean meat, there is actually a soft and juicy camel meat that is very tender.
What surprised Yang Nianzhong was that when the camel was alive, it had a lot of body odor, it foamed at every turn, and its mouth was not good when it opened its mouth and screamed. However, after being roasted, the meat is tender, rich in flavor and rich in juice, without any hard meat texture, and the taste is wonderful, without any peculiar smell.
There is no peculiar smell, which is very rare, everyone knows that beef and mutton have some smell, but the roast camel actually does not have it, and I don't know what spices are used in the Arab barbecue, except for the aroma of meat, you can't eat any peculiar smell.
A mouthful of meat Yang Nianzhong felt the fragrance of his lips and teeth, and the fragrance would surround your mouth when you opened your mouth, it was delicious, it was really delicious, no wonder it was the national dish of the Arab region, the production was really level, and the materials were extremely exquisite.
Take a bite of meat, use a spoon to eat the rice that owes the gravy in the plate to the mouth and taste it carefully, the rice is specially made with saffron, the color is good-looking, the taste is fragrant, and it is very bitten, and the gravy taste is rich and the taste is strong.
Then taste the roast whole sheep in the camel's belly, the roast chicken in the roast whole sheep's belly, the smell of roasted quail not only has the taste of roast sheep and roast chicken itself, but also mixed with the aroma of roast camel. Although the flavors of these meats vary in maturity, the flavors are independent of each other and mixed together to form a new flavor.
Complementing each other is indispensable, and when you eat it in your mouth, it is called a delicacy, Yang Nianzhong took a knife and fork and never spoke again, eating vigorously. Similar to Yang Nianzhong, none of the people present who spoke everyone was bored and ate the food on their plates.
Roast a plate of camels, and when you are done, hand the plate to the appropriate chef, who will serve you the second plate, then the third plate, and the fourth plate. Until I couldn't eat, no one in the audience spoke for nearly half an hour, not because I didn't want to talk but because I didn't have time to talk, because the food was too tempting to stop.
Half an hour later, everyone had eaten a full meal, and then they slowed down their movements, had time to communicate with their companions on the side, and drank a glass of wine to moisten their throats, and the restaurant gradually began to be lively.
Yang Nianzhong's family was in a similar state to everyone, and after eating a full meal, Anne took a sip of wine, put the wine glass down and looked at Yang Nianzhong and said with emotion.
"David, do you know that this is the most thrilling meal I have ever eaten in my life, it really scared me when I first appeared, hundreds of kilograms of behemoths were actually baked, and there were so many things in my stomach, incredible."
Seeing that Anne looked very scared, Yang Nianzhong leaned back in the chair and laughed, lit a cigar, and said with a smile while smoking. "If you don't shake, it's not a big meal, how can you remember it for a lifetime if you don't shake it? To be honest, I was scared too. ”
At this time, the old mother on the side put down the knife and fork in her hand, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and sat elegantly on the chair to watch the little couple talking and laughing. "I didn't expect that a dry-looking roasted camel would be so tender and juicy, which is much more shocking than roasting a bull."
Yang Nianzhong grinned and said, "That's a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the cows and horses are about the same size, how can a whole cow be compared to a roasted camel?" ”
"What's more, the camel's belly is stuffed with so many good things, and the flavors are mixed together, but they also form a unique fragrance independent of each other, which is really wonderful."
Saying that, Yang Nianzhong looked at his mother in surprise and asked. "Mom, is the long-disappeared Manchu and Han banquet more shocking than this roast camel, if we have time, our family will eat a set of Manchu and Han banquets, what kind of life does it have to be?"
Mother Yang Lan's eyes widened when she heard Yang Nianzhong say this, and she looked at her baby son with a smile and asked. "Your kid's ambition is not small, and he wants to eat the full banquet of the Han Dynasty just after eating the barbecue."
Yang Nianzhong smiled and shook his head triumphantly and said. "Life is the pursuit of a higher level, if people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish? Is it understandable that I want to eat the full banquet after eating the barbecue? ”
Anne said with a smile on the side. "The miracle in the history of Chinese cuisine in the legend of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, I don't know if it can be replicated now, how shocking it should be to eat, it must be much stronger than this roasted camel."
Seeing her daughter-in-law Anne yearning for her mother so much, Yang Lan said with a smile. "My little Anne, how can a roasted camel be comparable to the Manchu and Han banquets, you know that the Manchu and Han banquets are the essence of thousands of years of Chinese culinary history."
"That's three days and three nights to eat, that's hundreds of dishes, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the sea, all good things are included."
"There are many of them protected animals, even if you have money, you can't eat it, even if you have money, you can buy so many good and precious ingredients, and what chef will cook a full banquet."
Yang Nianzhong and Anne looked at each other stupidly, to be honest, these two have similar personalities, otherwise how could they be together? Just finished eating the roasted whole camel, these two bites are worried about the full banquet of the Han Dynasty.
Originally, I thought that it would not be difficult to eat a Manchurian banquet with my own financial resources, but I didn't expect that after my mother's explanation, the little couple was completely disappointed. Also, you have so much money to buy so many precious ingredients.
With so many precious protected animals, they can escape the punishment of the law, but who can do it at the Manchu and Han banquets? Isn't that the taste of the Manchu and Han banquets? , as the saying goes, Yang Nianzhong and Anne, the little couple, are a little fluttering.
