2390 The eight big bowls of the Manchurian clan
There was still a little bit of green in the red bushes, which was the result of the embellishment of scallions. A strong spicy fragrance assailed the nose. When one took a deep breath, they felt as if the spicy taste had reached straight into their stomach. It had a strong penetrating power.
“Master, hurry up and eat with us.” Si Hongyuan felt that he was the best disciple in Huaxia.
Such a tempting dish and he still remembered to ask his master to eat with him. This position of the eldest senior brother was simply well-deserved.
Si Hongyuan merely greeted him before picking up his chopsticks and quickly picking up a piece of meat that he had his eyes on.
Probably because it had been fried, the surface of the meat was slightly charred. The spicy chicken cooked by Yuan Zhou was dry and refreshing without any trace of gravy. Even the surface of the meat was dry.
When he put it in his mouth, the surface was burnt and a little crunchy. It was the kind of taste of the dried meat after being fried with juice. However, when he bit into it, he found that it was very soft and tender on the inside. Combined with the crisp texture on the outside and the strong spicy flavor, it brought a whole new experience to his mouth.
“Hiss … So spicy, so satisfying.”
Si Jinning had just been eating the light and fragrant braised chicken shreds. All of his senses were stirred up when he suddenly ate such a strong spicy chicken. The spicy taste was still lingering on the tip of his tongue, but the meat had already been chewed up and swallowed into his stomach. He then picked up another piece.
Many people would have such an experience when eating spicy food-the spicier it was, the more they wanted to eat it. The more they ate, the spicier they became and the more appetizing they became. They would feel as if they had come to life and were very energetic.
In any case, si Jinning was experiencing the same feeling right now. Piece after piece of meat. The dry, fragrant, and spicy taste kept stimulating his taste buds, making him unable to stop.
Si Hongyuan’s speed was not slow either. He moved his chopsticks so fast that they left afterimages. Every time the chopsticks sliced through the air, a piece of meat would be eaten.
“When you’re depressed, you should just eat some spicy food and sweat.” Si Hongyuan felt his entire body go warm.
Although it was very spicy, it was completely within his acceptable range. He didn’t feel that the spiciness was unbearable. Even si Jinning felt that it suited his taste.
Even the dried chili had a unique taste when chewed. After the meat was finished, the chili and chopped scallions were all eaten clean. The only thing left was probably some pepper. If si Hongyuan had not tried one and realized that it was too numbing and unsuitable, there probably wouldn’t have been any left.
After eating the hot and spicy chili chicken, the ingot meat that si Jinning had ordered was served. In fact, the dishes he had ordered were all dishes from the eight big bowls of the Manchu Empire. They were not necessarily the dishes of the Manchu Empire, but were adapted from other cuisines. However, they definitely had some of the characteristics of the Manchu Empire, just like the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
And the Yuanbao meat was derived from e cuisine.
The eight big bowls of the Manchurian tribe were divided into different sizes. The size didn’t refer to the size of the bowl, but the size of the ingredients. Therefore, after the light and fragrant braised chicken shreds, the next dish should be served with thick oil and red sauce.
The bright red color made people feel comfortable just by looking at it. Unlike the heat of the spicy chicken, the Yuanbao meat gave people a feeling of honesty and heaviness. The rich meaty fragrance was pervasive, as if it would not stop until it attracted one’s attention.
The combination of streaky pork and quail eggs was dyed with a layer of brownish-red color. The beautiful color made people very appetizing.
As a chef, si Jinning remembered his responsibility very well this time. He picked up a piece of meat and an egg and put them in si Hongyuan’s bowl.””You should eat this. It must look delicious.”
Then, he naturally picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The meat had a strong fragrance. The surface was a little hard, but the inside was tender. The streaky pork had seven layers and was 30% lean. It was fat but not greasy. The lean meat was not dry, and the fat meat was not greasy. The combination was just right.
With the soft and sticky pig skin as a decoration, the taste was excellent. In any case, si Jinning was having a great time eating it. He ate it piece by piece.
Not only the meat, but even the quail eggs had the fat of the meat. The tender eggs and the mellow fragrance of the meat made the taste quite good.
After si Hongyuan finished eating the two pieces, he had wanted to use his chopsticks to eat a few times. Unfortunately, he did not have the guts to do so. He could only watch as his master ate with his mouth full of oil. He was envious.
Fortunately, his spicy fish was served, and it was just right for eating. The fresh and tender fish slices were a different experience from the meat just now.
The dishes were served one after another. Except for the inedible side dishes, all the other edible side dishes had entered the stomachs of the master and disciple. They had a tacit understanding and did it on their own initiative without any instructions.
“Burp”
Si Jinning held his stomach and slumped into the chair, planning to catch his breath before talking. He should have finished three dishes, but si Hongyuan’s dishes were too delicious, so he couldn’t help but eat a lot. He ate at least twice as much as he usually did. The reason he didn’t get sent to the hospital was definitely because he was usually in good health.
“This chef’s cooking is really too delicious. His reputation is well-deserved.” Si Hongyuan said.
“Nonsense. Do you think those reputations are worthy of this young man’s cooking skills?” Si Jinning said.
“What master said does make sense. Indeed, no matter how you describe it, it’s not over the top. It doesn’t even feel like you’ve described one-third of the dish itself. It’s definitely the king of the cooking world. It’s really not simple.” Si Hongyuan said after some thought.
Although he had found many people flattering Yuan Zhou on the internet, they were all the same words. They were either delicious, extremely delicious or the most delicious food they had ever eaten. Although they seemed to be speaking from their true feelings, they really didn’t express the degree of the delicacy that Yuan Zhou made.
Of course, even though si Hongyuan was very picky now, it was still difficult for him to say something different. Fortunately, his professional relationship gave him some time to say something different.
In fact, si Hongyuan knew too little about Yuan Zhou. There was a professional forum on the internet where a group of food critics led by Lee Yanyi were bragging about Yuan Zhou. This forum was quite famous and authoritative. It could be said to be the Holy Land of the world of food critics because the words here were all true. No matter how exaggerated the words were, they would not be enough to describe Yuan Zhou’s dishes.
This was the consensus of the food critic world.
Therefore, many old gluttons liked to find the dishes of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant on this forum to eat. It was also because of this forum that Yuan Zhou gained several internet famous dishes.
After sitting for a while, they felt that they could leave. The master and disciple stood up and went out to make room for the others. The main reason was that the people next to them would make room after eating. They had already sat for a while, and it would be embarrassing if they didn’t make room for them.
Dinnertime continued. After si Jinning and the others left, they didn’t leave. Instead, they stood under the eaves and waited for the time to start. As time passed, Zuozuo came to the entrance of the store and waited. She saw two very familiar figures.
Although there were similarities between people, there were definitely no people who wore the same clothes and had the same habits. Hence, si Jinning’s plan to secretly scare his little disciple had failed before it had even officially begun.
As Zuozuo had already successfully lectured once, she was full of courage. Even when she saw her master and eldest senior brother coming together, she was not afraid of the stage. She chattered non-stop and acted like a little disciple.
