Chapter 21: Chef 20

Tang Jiu tried to stretch his neck to look into the crock, but was pushed away by Lin Dan, and he teased: "Be careful, don't plant it, or I'll halt you together."
Tang Jiu was amused and looked at her with a burning gaze: "The soup you make is completely different from the soup made by others."
Lin Dan Xu Xu said: "Lv's Spring and Autumn · Benwei Pian" has a saying: the essence of flavor, water is the first, five flavors and three materials, nine boiling and nine changes ... then it is perfect. I use three cans of soup. It is the sweet mountain spring water. The secret spices are used. Nanshan pine fragrant wood is used. Every time you boil, you add a flavor. Nine times, you boil nine times, and you increase the flavor nine times. It is different from others. It has a salty and sweet flavor, and a strong scent. My pot marinade is cooked by my own "strange flavor enhancement method", which is naturally richer than ordinary marinade. "
Lin Dan put the fish, duck, and elbow in the food box, and cut large pieces of pork belly into slices, and then dip in the sauce. He continued: "The marinade is still good, so keep putting fresh ingredients. These Thank you for taking care of these things when you take them back and eat them slowly. "
"No thanks." Tang Jiu politely put his hand out, catching the food box, and finally said, "I remember you put pork skin in and cook it before, how can you not see it?" One of his beloved things is more of a question.
Lin Dan pointed to the elbow and pork belly, chuckling: "Seeing that, this elbow and pork belly has been fried by me, the outer layer is scorched, and the inner tender meat is protected, so it is not boiled by the marinade. Rotten. But the pigskin is fresh and never fried. After a few hours, it has become thick gelatin and melted with the marinade. A good marinade must be both fragrant and sticky. Where does the stickiness come from? It is rich in fat and gum. How can I make the new brine taste like the old one without boiling the pig skin? If you like, I will fry the pig skin next time. Throw it in the pot, let it cool and wait for you to pick it up. "
Lin Dan opened his mouth and closed his mouth full of food classics, and casually hidden a secret technique that others could not learn in a lifetime, which made Tang Jiu listen to God. He swallowed his saliva and emphasized: "Then you remember a little bit more pigskin, and I will come back to get it. If you have any trouble here, go to the Ministry of Defense to find me, and I will be on duty there."
Lin Dan didn't ask Tang Jiu's identity in the slightest, and he didn't have the feeling of sincerity and horror in making noble people. He just smiled and nodded, and sent people away.
When Tang Jiu didn't ask her, she had some disappointed expression on her face, and she kept looking back all the way out, her expression was complicated. Walking to the alley, he saw a few people running out of the casino opposite, and whispered, "Why the fragrance just disappeared. Who is cooking? It's too hooked! Go walk, Stop betting, go home for dinner! "
After a while, everyone in the alley opened the door to look at each other, and his face was full of saliva. This wonderful marinade is truly extraordinary.
Tang Jiu slowly walked away holding the food box, shook his head and smiled as he walked. Passers-by whispers kept coming from behind him: "Who did you smell loquat just now, did you smell it? Fragrant, really fragrant!"
As soon as he entered the Men's Gate, Tang Jiu saw Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou eating around, and there was a faint sweet fragrance coming in, which was very tempting. Zhao Liu raised his chopsticks and called: "Oh, you are here at last, we're all here."
"You received Yan Langqing's food box again? How many times have I told you, no matter what she said, don't let her in, let alone her stuff, do you take my words for granted?" Tang Jiu's expression of joy Immediately replaced by irritability.
A delicate food container was placed on his table, the lid was opened, and there were four dishes in a thin white porcelain bowl with jade white. Zhao Liu and others also got a food box containing more dishes, but the dishes were not delicate enough, and they wanted to bribe them specifically.
As the so-called "short-handed, soft-mouthed" Zhao Liu often eats the food sent by Yan Langqing, he must say something good for her: "Boss, you have come to Yan Yu kitchen. You love it so much , Mouth is also tricky, if you do n’t marry Yan Yuche, who do you want to marry? Do not even the concubine consort agree with your marriage? We want to marry Yan Yuche, but we still ca n’t reach it. Can't find the second one, what a pretense, hurry up and ask for a kiss! "
Tang Jiu stared at the delicate food container for a long time and sneered, "You also take this food container, and she will bring things back later, you can eat whatever you like, I don't care."
As soon as the crowd showed overjoyed, they heard the leader continue to say, "Just one point, the food box that I brought will not be yours in the future."
The food box brought by the leader must have been prepared by Chef Hou. How can it be compared with the chef in Yushanfang? Several people nodded quickly and promised, "Okay, good food boxes from Yan Yu Kitchen in the future, some of our brothers will be responsible for helping you eat!"
"That's it." Tang Jiu stooped and scooped out a good wine from under the table. After opening the mud seal, he poured a glass for himself, then opened the food box sent by Lin Dan, and brought out a steaming plate. Braised chicken, opened the lower layer again, brought out a plate of braised duck, and then put a plate of braised pork elbow on the next layer. The last layer was a plate of chopped braised pork belly, sliced ​​very thinly, and sprinkled some Sesame and green onion, along with a plate of red and bright garlic chili sauce, has an indescribable scent of halogen, pervasive.
Tang Jiu held the chicken feet and pulled it gently, and the whole chicken leg was torn down. The crispy meat was attached to the tender skin, the rich juice was soaked with clear fat, and a bite of salty fragrance overflowed, which was extremely delicious; The elbow was also smashed, the skin was broken as soon as it was peeled, and the soft meat was melted at the entrance, but the tendons were still a little tough, and they could be rolled into the mouth with a slight roll of the tongue, and the texture was slightly elastic. Fully fragrant, lean and thin, with a thick and fatty glutinous, chewing a few mouthfuls, the fat juice will be fully integrated with the tenderness of the lean meat, coupled with spicy garlic and pepper spicy , Taste is wonderful!
Tang Jiu swallowed a few sips, seeming to be stunned, and quickly took the cup and filled a mouthful of spirits, and then sighed with satisfaction. Feeling strangely quiet in the room, he looked up and found that Zhao Liuji was completely stagnant, and his faint green eyes were staring at his food box.
"Go away!" He sneered.
"No, Boss, where did you buy the lowei? It's too fragrant, right? You give my brother a few tastes!" Zhao Liu begged.
The royal meals brought by Yan Langqing are all packed in exquisite small dishes. The taste is sweeter and lighter, and the amount is small. It can almost kill a plate in one bite. It is delicious but delicious. Where are the dishes like the leader? They are all big and big, big and greasy, big and greasy, and the meat tastes so scary. Pull a chicken leg down with your hand, chew it in your mouth, and pour a mouthful of wine. That taste is so beautiful! This is the favorite dish of the old man, good enough!
"Boss, Boss, just give us one bite, just one bite! We won't accept Yan Langqing's stuff anymore, really!" Zhao Liu, several Qi Qi gathered around, facing the dishes Drool. When they got closer, the scent of loquat was even more attractive, making them almost bit their tongues.
"Go away!" Tang Jiu still said the same thing, throwing away the bones after eating, leaving some elbows and pork belly for Changshou to return home. It can also be a supper when it is hot at night.
Zhao Liu's chest was full, and she continued to mourn. She vowed that she would never take care of Yan Yuku in the future. They would not pick up any goodies she sent, and asked the boss to give him some taste. The smell was so overbearing that it almost took away their soul.
Tang Jiu shook off a few people and went straight to the barracks. Good things have to be kept eating slowly, who will give you points?
…………
There was no dream overnight. The next day, Lin Dan woke up early, closed his noodles, covered with a damp cloth and woke up for a while, then boiled porridge and cut side dishes to prepare for the guests. The servants who returned to Beijing with her had gone for the most part, leaving only Xiaozhu and two literate running halls. Shaoyao and Azalea were responsible for helping the kitchen.
"Do we only sell noodles and porridge?" It was strange that the master of Shaoyao saw that he had not prepared other ingredients.
"Eat light in the morning, a bowl of porridge and a bowl of noodles are enough. Besides, the people who get up before dawn are all hardworking people. They have to rush to work and have no money left in their hands. They call the cheapest bowl of white porridge. Or Yangchun noodles have already reached the sky. Where can I order food? We only sell noodles and porridge in the morning, we order them with our customers at noon, we sell rice, noodles, and vegetables, and we close in advance in the afternoon and do not do business because there are several Family brothels, casinos, mess in the afternoon and evening. "Lin Dan explained patiently.
There is a wharf nearby, and there are often commercial ships. To facilitate the transportation of goods, there are several darts. With more merchants from the north and the south, there are also more brothels, casinos, and inns, and a unique business circle has gradually formed. The people who get up early in the morning are either porters, boatmen, or darts, and no one is rich. But at noon, all kinds of people are up and running. The poor, the rich, the underworld, the white road, the officials or the wealthy businessmen, who have all kinds of people, can be called a dragon-snake hybrid.
Being able to open a restaurant in such a popular place, Lin Dan was very satisfied, but did not know what Yan's family thought, but thought she would lose blood.
Lin Dan shook his head with a smile, seeing that it was about to dawn, and the sound of footsteps was heard from the street, so that Xiaozhu and the two running halls lifted out the large jar containing the marinade and put it in the doorway, and put a few stoves under it Slowly simmer with low fire.
"Remove the cloth strips, lift the lid, and stir with a long spoon." Lin Danyang explained.
Xiao Zhu did what he said. As soon as he opened the lid, his head fainted, and the saliva flowed down immediately, almost dripping into the soup. He quickly covered his mouth, tilted his head, handed the long spoon to the other guy, and sucked, "Hurry up, I haven't had breakfast!"
"I didn't have breakfast too!" The man quickly swallowed a sip of water before stirring. This agitation was incredible. The arrogant scent of incense was pouring to the surrounding area. The alley was filled with alleys in the alleys and the pier in the market. The scent of incense hit the city in an instant, making people nearby restless.
