Chapter 244: Ten Excellent VIP Dishes (Part 2)
How complicated can fried Qingjiang cuisine be?
A plate of green vegetables was really simple. Xia Yu went upstairs to change his clothes, and when he went downstairs, he took out the Qingjiang vegetables in the fresh-keeping cabinet.
It is worth mentioning that in two days, the ingredient storage warehouse will be moved to the next door. Last week, Xia Yu won a family hotel and a bathhouse through the food halberd. He planned to keep the family hotel, and the large bathhouse has a courtyard and a large area, so Xia Yu planned to transform the bathhouse into a future VIP dining area.
While picking off the vegetable leaves and throwing them into the pond to clean, set up two pots on the stove, boiling water in one pot, and drying in the other pot.
It took less than a minute to choose and wash vegetables.
But Xia Yu was not in a hurry to take out the vegetable leaves in the pond, but instead put the water from the faucet dry, turned his head to remove the water tank, scooped two full scoops of well water with a large scoop, and soaked the vegetables with well water for a short time.
“Is this freshness?”
Cao Chun, Erina, Smith and Lancelot, surrounded the bar.
The bar is only separated from the kitchen by a window, and the flames of the stove are clearly reflected in Erina's pupils. She is closest to Xia Yu, and she can be said to be sitting face to face with Xia Yu. At this moment, seeing Xia Yu deliberately scoop water in the water tank and soaking vegetables, she couldn't help but look surprised and said to herself: "Is there any secret this step?"
Thinking of it, Erina stared at the green leaves in the pond for a moment to see what would happen.
After a few minutes, boil a pot of water over high heat and heat it up.
"Click"
Xia Yu opened a cabinet door, took out a certain oil tank, and dug two spoons of condensed off-white grease with a spoon, and poured it into hot water.
A layer of yellow grease visible to the naked eye immediately floated over the water.
At this time, Xia Yu took out the green vegetable leaves and put them into boiling water. This step is called "blanching". The purpose is to make the green vegetables bright in color and not easily destroy the chlorophyll in the green vegetable leaves when stir-frying.
Bow left and right.
In another pot, dig in a few spoons of condensed chicken oil at the same time, and heat the pan and heat the oil.
“Wait…”
The net was shaking on the edge of the pot, draining the excess water, Xia Yu turned to pour the vegetables into a hot pot and stir-fry quickly.
Soon, Xia Yu put the fried Qingjiang cuisine on the plate, but the cooking was not over.
Dongdong.
After knocking on the glass, Xia Yu opened a window and shouted to the outside: "What kind of vegetables do you like to eat? Are you lighter? Or should you add some oil and other condiments to increase the flavor?"
"That's it. There is no need to add flavor."
Smith said coldly.
"OK."
Xia Yu added a lid, handed the vegetables that had just been out of the pot from the window, and went to clean the kitchen counter to prepare the next dish.
"One more effort!"
Seeing Xia Yu cover the vegetables with a lid, Lancelot's eyes were filled with a hint of sarcasm.
If the time to boil water is removed, cooking a 'fried green vegetable' takes only 5 minutes. The ingredients are also the most common green vegetables, without additional ingredients. Lancelot's face twitched and said intimidatingly: "This common Chinese green vegetable stir-fry is not worth 100,000 yen in any case!"
"Let me see how the taste of the fried vegetables worth 100,000 yen!"
Smith still had the same gloomy expression. He never had any expectations for a plate of fried vegetables.
He stretched out his hand and lifted the lid.
"laugh--"
In the evening, before the lights were turned on, the slightly dim storefront was immediately illuminated by the dazzling light.
In a blink of an eye, the light converged again.
Smith is in petrochemical state, with a lid in his hand.
Lancelot jumped up in horror and blurted out: "Glowing dishes!"
"How come the rays of vegetables are like this?!" Lancelot's heart was frantically and unbelievable. He couldn't help but recall the halberd stage a week ago. When the 'flame tornado shark fin sausage' was released, it was also accompanied by a dazzling light.
Cao Chun didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed, and he stared at this dish of inconspicuous fried vegetables.
“Try it—”
Xia Yu's voice came from the window.
After all, he was knowledgeable and Smith quickly returned to normal. He took the chopsticks, picked up a freshly fried vegetable leaf, and sent it to his mouth. His hand holding the chopsticks suddenly shook.
He didn't deliberately smell the smell, but the flavor of the vegetables penetrated into his body along his nose, giving Smith an illusion of going outing in the spring vegetable garden naked.
The pupils shrank.
"Is it hard to control the taste alone?"
Smith's face turned solemn, he slightly put away his contempt and began to taste it formally.
Vegetables are imported, and they are indeed refreshing. When the teeth bite the leaves and the juice flows in their mouths, Smith's face becomes dull, and the gloomy temperament on his body shows signs of melting.
"Chicken oil!"
Cao Chun swallowed the food and suddenly realized it.
"The condensed oil just now is chicken oil! No wonder I didn't eat a trace of earthy smell in Qingjiang cuisine!"
In amazement, Cao Chun picked up the second and third vegetable leaves one after another.
"No! No!"
As he tried, a brand new door seemed to open in his mind. Cao Chun shook his head while eating, overturning his words just now, "Chicken oil cannot raise the umami flavor of Qingjiang cuisine to such a level. It is obviously an ordinary Qingjiang cuisine. Why, why just eating a leaf is like drinking a whole bottle of vegetable extract juice! It's too fresh and thick!"
Lancelot also looked like he had seen a ghost.
"A leaf is like a bottle of vegetable juice, which is not mixed with water..." he murmured.
Next to him, Erina Nakiri saw the three of them talking in a daze, swallowed her saliva quietly, and obviously felt her stomach snorting.
She is hungry.
You chopsticks, I chopsticks, and a plate of vegetables stir-fry, and it will be finished in two or three minutes.
Xia Yu stood in the kitchen, and asked leisurely through a layer of glass: "How about it, is my 'fried Qingjiang dish worth spending 100,000 yen to taste?"
Lancelot glanced at Smith, who was silent and kept silent wise.
"value!"
However, Cao Chun raised his thumb and said, "After eating your plate of vegetables, I don't want to eat another fried vegetables for a few days."
He was obviously very interested in "fried Qingjiang cuisine" and planned to ask more questions, but Smith said coldly:
"Play the second dish!"
"What do you want to eat?" Xia Yu smiled.
"Your best..."
"I said that I'm good at all ten dishes!"
Upon hearing this, a sharp flashed in Smith's eyes and said, "I'll use the dish you used to defeat Lancelot on the last time on the halberd. Is it called "Flame Tornado Shark Fin Insects"?"
"Is the Flame Tornado Shark Fin Insect? This is one of my own signatures."
Xia Yu smiled slightly at Erina outside the window and said, "Erina, collect money, 500,000 yen!"
"good!"
Erina Nakiri stood behind the cash register.
Smith looked gloomy and glanced at Lancelot, took out his wallet, and handed him a black credit card.
"It's better to swipe my card, professor!"
Lancelot shook his head.
In fact, he could afford this meal. After eating "fried Qingjiang cuisine", his resistance to paying the bill and his anger that he had previously thought he was blackmailed and extorted disappeared without a trace.
"Are the flame tornado shark fin intestines?!"
I couldn't help but reminisce that Lancelot also wanted to taste the dishes that defeated him again.
Chapter completed!
