Chapter 516: Insect Caviar
Everyone looked at Ante with some concern.
Ante said, "Three kinds of ants, that is already behind, now, there are five kinds of ants." ”
Kyle couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Oh, what ants were added?"
"One is the arrow ant, which is a southern ant, an ant in the middle of the desert, which has the strongest heat tolerance. This is to improve the stamina of the person. The other is bullet ants, which are highly toxic and very painful after poisoning, but with this, they can produce an anesthetic effect, exchanging small pain for big pain. ”
Erica looked at Ante and asked, "Is it okay?"
Ante said: "Don't worry, I've already adapted to it, and it doesn't matter how painful it is. I just talked to you a little bit to divert attention. ”
"So, what kind of food do you want to make?"
The food in Ante's hand was almost ready, but Erica hadn't moved yet.
At this time, Erica also began to move.
"The dishes I want to make don't stop there. ”
"First of all, steamed buns. ”
Erica had kneaded the leavened dough and divided it into small pieces, and she had already made the shape of the steamed bun.
If it was before, she wouldn't have been able to make zuò so easily, because steaming is actually very troublesome. But after learning the steam magic, Erica started making steamed buns and the like.
Among the ingredients we have, there are also meat and vegetarian dishes.
So soon, Erica began to make zuò buns, both meat and vegetables.
"Pasta. Not only can it be done by baking, but it can also be steamed and boiled. It can even be fried. Explode. There is no need to be limited to one type. ”
Erica's hand doesn't stop.
A variety of pastries are made and come out.
Ramen, glutinous rice balls. Siu mai, spring rolls......
In the blink of an eye, there are already seven or eight kinds.
Not only Ante, but others were also dumbfounded.
"Is this really possible?"
Erica knew that on this continent, it was better at baking than steaming, so Watt, who had mastered the magic of steam, was special.
"Just looking at it like this, even if it's not done yet. I can probably guess that Ante is going to lose. Natz said.
"There are so many types, and there is no sense of stopping at all. Anzas also said on the side.
The people on the bell tower were also stunned.
Originally, this contest was to prove that there are new cooking recipes, and it is good to have one or several kinds of dishes, after all, even if there are hidden genres, there will not be too many dishes. But Erica seemed to have no limits, and she completely scared them.
Ante couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said, "That's enough. In terms of numbers, I can't compare to you. ”
Erica paused. Look at Ante.
"No matter how many types of ants there are, it seems that they can't compare to the dishes you want to make zuò. However, this contest is not simply a winner if you have more types than others. ”
"This game. In the end, I still want to make a delicious dish. So whether it tastes good or not is the final key. Originally, the ant salad I prepared was already the limit, but. Erica, thank you for your story. It gave me a new touch. So, I'm ready to take on the challenge of cooking. Use the last dish to decide the winner, and if you lose, I'll give you the top black ants. ”
"I like this kind of competition, but I really don't need black ants. Erica said.
At least don't give it to me in front of so many people, Erica couldn't help but say in her heart.
Ante began to calm down.
"The zuò dishes I make are a mysterious recipe from a certain tribe, and there is only a simple record. It is information obtained by explorers who have traveled to various places. Originally, I would never have dared to make zuò, because this failure rate is very high. Now, though, I'm absolutely sure. ”
"Escamoles, that's the name of the dish I'm going to make zuò. ”
Escamoles, Escamoles, as its name means, insect caviar. It's not that it's caviar, but it's a dish that is very similar to caviar and is made with ant larvae.
"Erica, thank you for Bluebeard's story. That's how I feel. In your Bluebeard story, Bluebeard died quickly, didn't he? Couples can't get along to the end. ”
"Ants, actually, it's the same. ”
"Ants, new ants are produced by ants, it seems that everyone understands it this way. But what about the first queen? What about that? Initially, the male ant meets the female ant, and then the two ants fall in love at first sight and mate in flight, completing the mating process. Then, the male ants die. At this time, the queen ant loses her wings, falls into the dirt, and begins to give birth to children. ”
"Don't you think this is very similar to the story of Bluebeard? The first ants could fly, but when they lost their loved ones, they lost their wings, and then they fell into dust and filth, and became a blasphemous earthly race. Just as Bluebeard lost Joan of Arc, just as the Blue Witch lost Bluebeard. ”
"Why is this so, it's because of love. ”
"It is precisely because of the depth of love that after the loss, I hate the world. ”
"Where do you usually find the larvae of an ant like you? in the roots of agave? ”
Tequila, which Erica used to make zuò tequila. When tequila was first made, it was made by lightning strike, that is, the lightning strike brewing method zuò.
It's not just the agave sake that is special, but the flower itself is also very special.
Agave blooms only once in its lifetime, and after flowering, the plant dies as the seeds mature. Therefore, agave grows slowly, always accumulating strength, and then at a certain time, it suddenly sprouts and grows wildly.
However, such an act will deplete the full life force of the agave, and the agave will die quickly after the outbreak.
Therefore, the flower language of agave is, pay a qiē for love.
"Human beings are inherently crazy. ”
Ante spoke.
"What I want to make is this insect caviar. Erica, what kind of cuisine are you going to use to deal with my kind of cuisine?"
Hearing Ante's words, Erica smiled softly.
She waved her hand, and she was already making the dough in her hands.
Erica then sprinkled salt into the dough.
"Joined the salt?" Natz was startled.
Erica said, "Have you ever heard of such a story? The story of salt and sugar, there are two princesses in the world, one likes sweet and the other likes salty, and when their father asks what is she to them? The king thought that sugar was better, because salt only needed to be added a little, so he drove out the princess, who loved salt. It wasn't until later, when the princess married a prince from another country and invited the king to the wedding, that she arranged table after table of sweets for the king, which made the king feel tired, that the king understood that salt was equally important. There is no way to eat food without salt. ”
"A person's life cannot be sweet forever, like salt, ordinary days are the most. So what I want to make is dumplings, a dish that is shared by the family. ”
Erica said.
Salt is added to the dumpling noodles.
It's not just a random addition, it's not like adding salt to bread, it's not just for the sake of etiquette, it's not for the sake of taste, it's for the actual effect.
Salt is added to the dumpling noodles to increase gluten and keep the dumplings out of the pot from sticking to the skin.
Hearing Erica's words, Ante hesitated.
Natz first shouted with great joy: "Salt is king." 10,000 times better than sugar. ”
But immediately his face turned blue and said, "Oh no, I will definitely be scolded by my sister when I say this." ”
"You still have a sister?" asked Anzas.
"Yes, it's called Frost Crystal Su Ge. Like me, I belong to the same Libra crystal stream, and heck, this time it's a miserable return, and I need to prepare enough gifts to please her. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't sue her?"
"No, no, no, how can you hide something from your sister!" said Natz sternly.
Ansas froze for a moment, turned his head, and looked at the platform again.
At this moment, a change suddenly occurred. (To be continued......)
