168 The most ecstatic Xishi tongue
If it is recorded in the "Yu Di, Who Listen to the Falling Plum" in the past, it should be made of five kinds of meat, such as sirloin, mountain deer meat, rabbit meat, pig ear tips, and lamb buttock meat, and they should be connected and fused together to provide different flavors with different ingredients. In addition, they will blend and change each other, creating various tastes.
Among them, lamb buttocks and sirloin are the tenderest, mountain deer meat and rabbit meat are the most colorful and wild. Although pig ears are ordinary, they can ensure a crispy taste, which is really perfect. If there is really Huang Laoxie in the world, he will definitely be no less than the "Big Four".
As Huang Rong said, if this dish is not in order, there should be 5525 changes in total, which are inconsistent with the number of plum blossoms, and hence the name.
However, the book does not explain how Huang Rong used to connect these five kinds of meat, whether they were crushed and kneaded together, or sewed them with intestinal thread. Even a glutton of Hong Qigong's level only said that she would "knead the meat of the deer leg and rabbit meat together", but in fact it was still vague, because he could only eat and not cook.
Since Yuan Zidan took action himself, he is naturally more clever than Huang Rong in Mr. Jin's works. After all, he is a true top chef, but he is much better than Mr. Jin, an amateur.
Gently pick up a strip of meat, Zhou Dong bit off one fifth, then two fifths, and swallowed it in the last bite; then took another strip of meat, and this time he bit off three fifths.
In a blink of an eye, Zhou Dong had eaten seven or eight meat strips. Every time he had a special care, either near or far, chewing carefully, or savoring lightly, and closing his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling something.
Lao Guo and Teacher Yu were sweating when they saw it. What a good guy, do you care so much about eating meat strips?
Fortunately, I invited Brother Zhou. If I change to an ordinary gourmet, I'm afraid I'll be confused by Yuan Zidan a long time ago?
The Yuan family and his son also sat down at this moment, drinking the ancient tea soup with great pleasure, and looking at Zhou Dong with a smile.
"Mr. Yuan is worthy of being the new generation of Suiyuan owners. The craftsmanship of this hand-trumpet pork strip must not only be aware of the characteristics of various meats, but also have very clever carving skills.
Compared to this technique, the method of sewing various ingredients with intestinal thread is like a child's game."
Zhou Dong bit off another strip of flesh and showed the section in front of everyone. He also changed the angles so that Lao Guo and Teacher Yu could see more clearly.
I saw that the meat in this section was dark red. A piece of white meat with a "convex" shape was left in the dark red meat. In fact, it was not very white. However, compared with the outsourcing dark red meat, this part of the meat is relatively whiter and tender.
"I'm afraid even Mr. Jin didn't expect this idea by using the carpenter's mortise to connect different meats, right?"
Zhou Dong looked at Yuan Zidan, whose color changed slightly, and said, "The stool is dark red when it comes to heat, and the mutton buttocks turn white when it comes to heat. The cattle and sheep are both muttons and tucks. The gentleman first connects them together and then puts them into the pot to cook. This requires the control of oil, fire, pot and spoon to perfect the fire.
"clever!"
Yuan Zidan's face turned upright. What surprised him was not Zhou Dong's subsequent comments, but Zhou Dong had just eaten a few meat strips, and it was possible to tell that he used the mortise method to connect various meat strips.
That's all, you have to bite it in the position of the mortise joint and reveal the cross-section so that the layman can see clearly. How sensitive the tongue and teeth are to do it?
Before he met Zhou Dong, he thought that even if a top foodie could see through his secrets, he would have to eat two or three plates of "Who listened to Luo Mei" before he could succeed. However, he did not expect that Zhou Dong would discover the secret so quickly?
"The King of Huaxia Noodles is the King of Huaxia Noodles, but Brother Zhou shouldn't only see how I connect various meat materials, right?
An excellent foodie not only needs to eat how many ingredients I use in this dish, but also have to say what my cooking techniques are unique, otherwise you can’t be considered to have broken the problem?”
Even if Zhou Dong could see through his mortise and jointing method, Yuan Zidan would definitely not believe that Zhou Dong could eat up how many ingredients and cooking methods he used.
This dish is said to use five kinds of meat, so that it can match the number of plum blossoms. Otherwise, it cannot be named "Who is the one who listens to falling plum blossoms in Yu Di?" But how could a culture like Yuan Zidan be limited by the number of plum blossoms?
He used more than five kinds of meat in this dish. As for how to rely on this nice dish name, Yuan Dacaizi could come up with a thousand ways in blinking his eyes!
"Oh, I heard that Mr. Yuan, you are a scholarly family and have inherited poetry and books. I didn't expect that even people like you would try to make things difficult for others. I probably have to finish all the meats this dish uses before I know...
However, I have eaten the squat waist and sheep buttocks in this meat strip. These are the meat ingredients recorded in the original book. In fact, it is not very strange. The next meat ingredient is... "
Zhou Dong bit off the meat strips on the chopsticks and chewed them carefully before saying, "The ingredients used in this section are really unexpected. They are actually 'Xi Shi Tong'?
"Xi Shi Tongue" is a rumor, many people believe that it is clam meat. Even the great literary gourmet Mr. Yu Dafu once mistakenly believes that the big clam meat is Xi Shi Tongue. In fact, the real Xi Shi Tongue has relatively obvious characteristics. Its shell length should be twice the width of the shell, as long as a human tongue, snow-white and pink, fresh and juicy in the mouth, as if the beautiful tongue is fragrant, and it is the most ecstatic, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary clams.
That is why Zhou Lianggong of the Qing Dynasty said in "Min Xiaoji" that "The sea in Fujian is wrong, and the tongue of Xi Shi should be a magical product!" Li Liweng also wrote in "The Leisure Love" that "The sea is wrong and is so beautiful that people envied but cannot eat is the tongue of Xi Shi Shi in Fujian!"
Can you eat this?
With Yuan Zidan's calmness, he couldn't help but change his expression on the spot. The "Young Master Yuan" looked at Zhou Dong in surprise. He knew how difficult it was to cook the Xishi tongue in this strip of meat and how erratic the ingredients were. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the big hole dug by his father for Zhou Dong, but it was eaten by someone several bites?
How could the Yuan family and his son know that after Zhou Dong's tasting skill reached the perfect level, it was like a gambler. All kinds of food-related information were picked up at will. Can it be considered if he didn't eat it?
Lao Guo and Teacher Yu looked at Zhou Dong and Yuan Zidan blankly, and always felt that the surname Yuan was very unkind. No wonder they said that intellectuals are the most difficult to get along with.
Zhou Dong looked at Yuan Zidan with a smile: "Even in Li Liweng's era, Xi Shi's tongue was envied by people and could not eat it, let alone in this era of fake goods rampant.
Mr. Yuan was able to find such ingredients. The rich collection of things in Suiyuan is amazing.
