Chapter 93: Foodie
Seeing the dinner made by the two of barley and wheat, Jian Heng had to admit from the bottom of his heart that this was very western, closer to the rural style of the United States.
Forty minutes later, Jian Heng took Zhang Jialiang and a few people back home, at this time the two sisters had almost laid out everything, Jian Heng and the others only needed to sit at the table, and then the two sisters brought dinner like flowers and butterflies.
The place to eat is also very American, and a long table is placed directly on the wooden terrace next to the house, because there were few people in the pasture before, so at present, this long table is put together with two square tables, and it is also covered with a gray tablecloth, which is quite stylish, at least much more coarse and sentimental than Zhao Changshan's big old man.
Not only that, but there was also a candlestick in the middle, on which candles were inserted and lit, although not as good as the lights hanging overhead, but the mood was a little more exciting.
All of these settings show that the two sisters put a lot of thought into this dinner!
Therefore, Jian Heng was not good at discouraging their enthusiasm, and he was not embarrassed to tell the two of them that this candlestick used to be the elder brother or younger brother of the old Anders, and he once used it to knock to death an official of the Viet Cong, and the origin of this candlestick does not seem to be so glorious, and the old Anders himself rarely used it when he was alive, just to commemorate his brother, Jian Heng came out two days ago and wanted to throw it, but he didn't expect to be made by the two sisters today.
Huang Xiaodong looked at the plate of steak in front of him, his eyes widened, and he was stunned for a while before he said to the two sisters, Barley and Wheat: "Barley, wheat, I guess I can't eat it!" ”
Not only Huang Xiaodong, but also Zhao Wei and Zhang Jialiang nodded together, each looking at the steak in front of them in a daze.
These days, except for the morning, noon and evening they almost eat beef, and the food is a little weak, seeing that such a large piece is still beef, plus doubting the cooking level of the two sisters and the two young ladies, the two sisters are a little worried.
Many people in China have eaten tomahawk steak in Western restaurants, which is the kind with meat hanging on the flank bone strips. Everyone is eating tomahawk steak tonight, but this tomahawk is different from the domestic, or ordinary tomahawk, and what appears in front of everyone's eyes today is the super-heavenly version of the tomahawk!
The flank bone of the 'tomahawk' on the plate is almost forty centimeters long, which is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the meat hanging on the bone is almost a pound and a half, and the whole beef looks almost the size of a human face, and after it is roasted, it is as thick as a finger and a half.
Not to mention the fact that there was a piece of baked potato on the plate, not fries, but slices of the same potato that had been shaved with a corrugated planer one by one, and in addition to two pieces of broccoli, a few small slices of fried onions piled together, and a small half-spoonful of sauce in the empty space of the plate.
The whole cow is a little scary except for the big ones, and the side dishes are quite decent.
Why didn't you eat steak with wine, and everyone quickly had another glass of red wine in front of them.
Not just for this large steak for dinner, there is a bowl of vegetable salad about the size of a small basin in the middle of the table.
Boom!
Jian Heng could hear the sound of Zhang Jialiang's throat when he was foaming at the throat next to him, it was not that Zhang Jialiang was gluttonous, but that this kid was a little dumbfounded in the face of such a large piece of steak, and his body's subconscious reaction.
"Taste it, you must not have eaten it, this is the secret recipe of our McAvoy family, from my grandmother to us!"
Big Mac then motioned for everyone to start eating, and after he finished speaking, he took Wheat's hand and prayed a simple pre-dinner prayer. Because no one else was a Christian, the sisters did not force others to pray.
When Jian Heng heard the ancestral heirloom, and then heard his grandmother, he immediately sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: Can it be said that it is an ancestral heirloom from his grandmother's generation? Your ancestral tradition is too short! In our China, there are no five or six generations down, where is it embarrassing to talk about what is ancestral and not ancestral.
While praying for barley and wheat, Jian Heng picked up the fork in his hand and picked up the steak to take a look, wanting to see if the meat was suitable for the next taste.
I have to say that the steak looks quite good, at least from the outside, it is slightly charred on the outside, but it is not baked, and it seems that how to lock in the juice in the meat is fully considered when grilling.
Just when Jian Heng was flipping the steak, the sisters finished praying, and saw that Jian Heng and the others did not move, and Jian Heng still reached out to pick up the steak, so they began to persuade.
"Give it a try!"
Everyone persuaded them for the second time, and Jian Heng directly put the knife and fork together, in order to show his support for the cooking skills of the two sisters, Jian Heng cut a large piece with the first knife.
From the incision, the steak was very tender, and the beef that came out of the incision seemed to taste good, but Jian Heng was still a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that the beef would not be so easy to eat, so he dipped it in a little sauce.
With a nervous mood, Jian Heng put the beef in his mouth, chewed it and felt that the taste was okay, after a snort, when he chewed the third bite, the gravy burst out, and the delicious taste of the whole beef came out completely, at this time Jian Heng felt that the little sauce he had just now was a little redundant.
Giving a thumbs up to the two sisters, Jian Heng praised: "Great! The taste exceeded my expectations".
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious!" Huang Xiaodong nodded after eating, and the knife and fork flew and buried his head in dealing with the steak.
Zhao Wei and Zhang Jialiang were also quite satisfied with their food, and they couldn't stop nodding when they heard Jian Heng's words.
As soon as a few people ate it, they felt that their taste buds were opened, and they didn't know if they had eaten Chinese beef for a long time, or if the craftsmanship of the two sisters was really good, and everyone ate it very fiercely.
"I didn't expect that you still have this craft in barley and wheat" Zhao Wei took a sip of red wine and swallowed the beef in his mouth, and then praised it.
"It's so much better than my uncle's steak!" Zhao Wei sold Zhao Changshan in an instant.
"The key to making steak is the ingredients when marinating, and when you first start grilling, you have to be strong to lock in all the gravy..... "Seeing that everyone likes it, Barley happily talks about the trick of grilling steak.
These things are everyone's dong, just like how much cooked steak has a special time regulation, but the same time and the same marinade are different for different people to bake out, this is the craft.
Jian Heng is not too interested in Western food, but he is only interested in steak or barbecue, which is not a general term for Western food, and he is full of praise for American country-style barbecue.
After cutting a few pieces, Huang Xiaodong picked up the handle of the flank that had been roasted and dried, and directly opened his mouth to nibble on it, nodding continuously while gnawing.
Jian Hengda was already full in half of his stomach, put the remaining beef bones and beef on the plate, and said while wiping his mouth: "Okay, I'm full, and the rest is fed to Denver!" ”
Wheat listened and said, "Denver has a piece too!" ”
After speaking, he gestured with his eyes.
When Jian Heng heard this, his eyes looked in the direction of the wheat, and he saw that the 'battle axe' in front of the little white lion was one size bigger than himself, and the little thing was now lying on the ground, tilting his head and chewing heavily, eating with bared teeth and grinning so happily.
As if sensing Jian Heng's gaze, the little white lion raised his head, his little pink tongue circled around his nose and mouth, and then he buried his head and gnawed again, making a clicking sound from his teeth and bones as he gnawed.
Seeing its bear-like appearance, Jian Heng sighed: "Alas, you look like a lion when you eat."
"Next time, if the block is smaller, although our ranch raises cattle, it can't hold up such a waste!" Jian Heng took two sips of the wine glass, and then put the wine glass back.
To be honest, Jian Heng doesn't like the taste of red wine too much, relatively speaking, he still prefers the national wine, Moutai is a good wine in the national wine, but he is not too accustomed to drinking sauce-flavored wine, to say that he likes the favorite, Jian Heng still likes the blue of the Yanghe sky, the preference has nothing to do with the price, right or not the appetite is the most important.
Speaking of the size of the steak, Jian Heng stretched out his hand and tapped beside him: "Look, everyone thinks it's too much."
Turning his head as he spoke, Jian Heng was a little dumbfounded, because the two goods sitting next to him were already gnawing bones, not to mention Huang Xiaodong, who was originally a beef professional, and now he was already eating potatoes.
"I didn't say it!"
At this time, Jian Heng had a special urge to cover his face, and said in his heart: Why are all my ranches full of pot-bellied men!
Seeing these guys, Jian Heng was a little angry in his heart now, and felt that these goods didn't give him a long face at all, and turned his head to look at the barley and wheat, Jian Heng had to sigh, a little bit of a feeling of wanting to leave his face, because when Jian Heng was on fire, the two sisters of barley and wheat were also happy to be like Zhao Wei and them, holding the bone in one hand and eating it in a big gulp.
Wheat said happily while gnawing: "I didn't dare to eat it if I wanted to, but every time my mother baked it, we only ate such a small piece, but now I don't worry about gaining weight at all."
"Jane, I'm so lucky to know you!" Big Mac also said.
"Looks like I'm a bit of a tragedy!" Jian Heng looked at the two of them with a smile and said jokingly.
Wheat put down the bones in his hand: "You don't know how hard it is to stay in shape, this can't be eaten, that can't be eaten, after getting to know you, Ashley and I watch TV every day with either a power popcorn or a big bucket of ice cream, it's so enjoyable!" ”
"Okay, you continue to sigh, I'll go see the horses" Jian Heng said and pushed away the chair, motioning for them to eat slowly, while he walked towards the old bullpen.
Before he got to the bullpen, Jian Heng found a problem, there were no horses in the old bullpen, and when he got closer, he found that the iron chain that was originally on the door was thrown to the ground by whom.
"Barley, wheat, you opened the railing of the old fence?" Jian Heng asked loudly.
Big Mac immediately replied, "No, what's wrong?" ”
"The fence door was opened, and the horse ran out," Jian Heng said.
Hearing that the horse had run away, the barleys soon ran over.
Everyone looked around the railing and said that it was not themselves, and Jian Heng also felt that it was unlikely, because the barley and wheat horses did not enter the fence, and now they were bolted to the horse stakes at the door, and the rest of them were even more impossible, and those who came back with Jian Heng had no time to fiddle with the fence.
"Let's go find it," Zhang Jialiang said.
"Go back and eat, the gates are closed, where can the horses go? I'll go and have a look at the forest," said Jian Heng, who returned to the front of the house, started a mountain motorcycle, and walked towards the grove where the cattle lived.
It didn't take long for Jian Heng to find a herd of horses, and more than a dozen horses gathered together to form a small group, slowly bowing their heads and grazing.
Look at it again, who can the leading horse be if it is not Black Bean, and now there is no other stallion in the horse herd except for it, so it can be said that this guy picked up a horse king for nothing.
took out his mobile phone and informed them that they didn't have to come, An Sheng was eating, and the horse had been found.
After closing the line, Jian Heng drove towards the herd.
Seeing Jian Heng approaching, Heidou immediately became alert, and issued a warning with a sigh, seeing that Jian Heng did not ignore his warning at all, he immediately turned his head and prepared to run away.
At this time, it was dark and lost, Jian Heng was still afraid of it, so he directly raised his hand and put the black beans into the space.
Suddenly, the loss of the horse king, the whole herd of horses suddenly lost their backbone, and soon these seemed to forget about the horse king, bowed their heads and continued to eat delicious grass.
