Chapter 128: Five Flavors
Lan Ting said in his heart: Didn't Brother Guan say that the overlord Farewell Concubine wants to use the king of soft-shelled turtles? And only Jiangnan has the king of soft-shelled turtles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Farewell My Concubine, the overlord without the king of soft-shelled turtles, will definitely lose, but why does Brother Guan still make this dish?
And what did Childe say to Brother Guan?
Childe said that the first dish in the world was made by his father, could it be that the dish invented by his father happened to be the king of soft-shelled turtles? Is there another possibility, that is, the father's overlord farewell concubine did not use the king of soft-shelled turtles, but the meat of the soft-shelled turtle can be made with condiments or skills to make the meat taste the same as the king of soft-shelled turtles?
Mei Rinhan knew that the Guan family's overlord Farewell Concubine had to use the king of soft-shelled turtles to be delicious, and now Kanto was really surprised by doing so. But I was still happy in my heart, using an ordinary soft-shelled turtle to be the overlord and farewell my concubine was tantamount to killing myself. At that moment, he instructed his subordinates to go to the back kitchen to prepare soft-shelled turtle and camellia chicken.
At this time, the onlookers privately discussed what Kanto was doing?
"He seems to be going to be the overlord and farewell concubine. ”
"But can this young man make the taste of the old Guan at such a young age?"
"No, Lao Guan said that the overlord Farewell Concubine must use the king of soft-shelled turtles. ”
"Yes, after the second floor is closed, there will be no king of soft-shelled turtles in the capital. ”
Everyone sighed, most of them were still looking forward to Kanto winning. Because three years ago, although the second floor was the top restaurant in Beijing, the food was delicious, the price was fair, and the people could afford to eat. Nowadays, although new dishes are frequently produced in Wuwei Pavilion, the price is too expensive. The Mei family is huge, and often owes money to vegetable farmers, and sometimes deliberately deducts the salaries of their partners.
Just these few points, in the hearts of the people, they have already hated the Mei family, but they can only scold a few words in their hearts, and no one dares to express their dissatisfaction.
At this time, the ingredients that Kanto wanted were ready, and Mei Linghan asked, "Can you start?"
"Casually" Kanto tied an apron and walked behind the stove.
Although Guan Mei and the two tried to cook, they all did ancestral skills. In order not to be stolen by his surname, Mei Rinhan asked his subordinates to erect screens around the stove.
Mei Rinhan walked behind the screen, and everyone only listened to the sound of clanging behind the screen. Knowing that he has begun to be tasteless in the world.
However, when Kanto walked to the screen, he moved the screen aside, revealing the stove and the board.
"Is he going to be a bully in front of the big guys?" someone exclaimed
Kanto did this like a martial arts master with a peerless knowledge who actually opened the door to accept apprentices and handed over the unpassable mastery to all the apprentices.
Someone said: "I understand, Young Master Guan knows that he can't win against Boss Mei, since he wants to be blood-spattered on the spot in the end, he must not let the Guan family's overlord Farewell Concubine be lost." ”
Someone continued: "You're so right, he must have thought so." Hey, it's a pity for such a good young man. The Guan family is no longer in order!"
Yang Yixiao felt very uncomfortable when he heard everyone say this, and looked at Qi Chu and found that the master looked indifferent, but he seemed to be confident.
What did Master say to Brother Guan?
He asked Lan Ting in a low voice, "Senior brother, did your father really create the world's number one dish?"
Lan Ting shook his head and said, "Your uncle has always been unfathomable, and he secretly passed on the Dragon God Eight Transformations to me, but I didn't even know it." Who knows if he created the world's number one dish!"
Yang Yixiao was puzzled: "My uncle?"
Lan Ting said: "Yes, isn't my father your uncle?"
"Uh......" Yang Yixiao found that no matter when it came, Lan Ting could make jokes.
"Then what should you call my father?" asked Yang Yixiao
"Second master!" Lan Ting looked at him seriously.
"This ......" Yang Yixiao only felt a group of crows fly by in front of him, "I obeyed." ”
As the two of them were talking, they found that there were many people outside crowded into the Five Flavors Pavilion. The first floor was already surrounded by water, and those people were clearly not here to eat. But it's not like watching the excitement.
As everyone knows, these people are the chefs of large and small restaurants in the capital, and they heard that Kanto actually made a bully in public Farewell My Concubine, so they all came to learn secretly. Farewell My Concubine was very famous in the capital back then, and the Guan family initially gained a foothold in the capital with this dish alone, and then slowly developed. If anyone can get the true meaning of this dish, they will definitely soar and make money in the future.
Kanto recognized these chefs, and when he was young, he was on the second floor when it was booming. These cooks gathered around him all day long and shouted one by one, in order to serve him well and then be able to eat on the second floor. But when there was no accident on the second floor three years ago, they broke up in a hurry. Some are still pointing fingers at Kanto behind their backs, and even those who received favors from the Guan family back then turned around to slander the Guan family.
The world is hot and cold, Kanto sees it in his eyes, and it hurts in his heart. But at this time, he didn't want to hide the overlord Farewell Concubine's approach, on the contrary, he slowed down the speed of cooking. Take out the gallbladder of the soft-shelled turtle and apply bile and water to the soft-shelled turtle, which is to remove the fishy smell.
He even explained while doing it, it seemed that he knew that he would definitely lose and his life would be short. So just tell everyone about the practice of farewell my concubine, and hope that someone who is destined can pass it on.
The cooks watched intently and listened word for word. But slowly, they remembered what they had done to Kanto back then, and their hearts were full of apologies. At this time, Kanto repaid their grievances with virtue made them extremely guilty, and they began to hope that Kanto could win this competition.
Lan Ting watched Kanto take out a handful of dried pears from his arms and throw them into the pot, then put a bamboo rack in the pot, and put the soft-shelled turtle and camellia chicken on the bamboo rack, covered the pot, and lit the firewood at the bottom of the pot. He closed his eyes, still smiling at the corners of his mouth.
Lan Ting knew that as long as the soup was dry, it would be ready to come out of the pot, which meant that he would have to know the results of the competition immediately. I can't help but worry in my heart, can the overlord Farewell Concubine win without the king of soft-shelled turtles?
The atmosphere in the arena gradually became heavy, until Mei Rinhan walked out from behind the screen. He looked at Kanto and smiled and hidden, "Is Young Master Guan finished?"
Kanto opened his eyes and nodded, "It's done." ”
Mei Rin said coldly: "Although I know that my five flavors in the world are inferior to Young Master Guan's overlord Farewell Concubine, but the matter has come to this point, I can only stand hard. He clapped his hands, and the guy Zhang walked out with a bowl of noodles.
"Five flavors of the world!" said someone in the crowd.
Lan Ting tiptoed and looked, "Isn't it just a bowl of broken noodles? ”
The five flavors of the world are indeed a bowl of noodles, but they are not a bowl of ordinary noodles. Mei Rinhan uses five kinds of ingredients, which are the most sour, sweetest, bitterest, spiciest and saltiest in the world, and cooks five kinds of ingredients with the unique skills of the Mei family, so that the five flavors are perfectly integrated, and this is used as an adjunct for the soup noodles, and they are slowly cooked over low heat to make the noodles completely flavorful. It can't be too long, or the noodles will get rotten. It can't be too short, otherwise the flavor can't invade the noodles, which means failure.
