Chapter 10 The Crushing of Food Culture

Huang Rong asked in amazement, "Is this really just a dish?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Of course, real cooking skills pay attention to the taste and taste. If a chef cooks a dish that makes customers lose their appetite, no matter how delicious the dish is, it will be a failure, because the guest can't even taste it. No chance will be given to you.

Can a dish that whets your appetite just by looking at it whet your appetite?

Fragrance is a must for all foods. If you can make a fragrance that can attract everyone, it is the second step of success.The final step is the taste, which is the step that really shows the chef's craftsmanship. "

"Well, it makes sense. Let me introduce these six dishes. You put so much thought into them. These dishes should have their names and characteristics." The owner said with a smile.

Lu Ying actually didn't want to know so much, she only had one idea now, I want to eat, but the owner is here, she dared not make a mistake, she could only stare and swallow continuously.

In fact, the other girls are also the same, they never stop drooling, although they think they are not very delicious, but this time, they have to admit that the two kinds of color and fragrance have conquered their stomachs.

"These six dishes are braised lion head, Buddha jumping over the wall, eight-treasure duck, Wensi tofu, boiled cabbage, squirrel mandarin fish. Let's have a sip of fruit wine and try another dish."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he made a demonstration. After taking a sip of fruit wine, he picked up a piece of mushroom from Buddha Jumping Wall with his chopsticks.

The others couldn't wait a long time ago, but they were all able to restrain themselves and took a sip of the fruit wine. When they entered the mouth of the fruit wine, they showed expressions of surprise to Lu Ying and Huang Rong, who didn't like wine very much.

After drinking it, the owner exclaimed: "It has the refreshing sweetness of the fruit and the mellowness of the wine. It's like drinking juice in the mouth. It's only after entering the throat that you can feel the aroma of the wine. After entering the stomach, there is the warmth of the wine. It's really amazing. masterpiece."

Everyone else kept nodding, no matter who they were, they had to admit that this fruit wine was really delicious.

After they ate the food in the Buddha jumping wall, they were all shocked and speechless. Lu Ying burst into tears and choked up: "I ate all the dishes in the past. If so many meals are replaced by this Yes, how much more delicious food can I eat."

Zhou Yuan smiled secretly, this was done by the top master in his place, and his craftsmanship has a long-standing reputation in the local area, that's why he named Master Yu.

Zhou Yuan didn't pour much wine, they drank it in two sips, and Zi Qi was gone in just one sip.

Then Zhou Yuan took out a bottle of golden beer, white foam appeared immediately after opening, and said: "This is Romance Beer, there is nothing special about this kind of beer, you can drink whatever you want."

Zhou Yuan directly placed this small wine bottle in front of them, and then he was the first to pick up the bottle and drink it with his head up.

Zi Qi immediately drank it. It was the first time she drank beer. She was so overwhelmed by the smell of this wine that she almost spit it out of her mouth.

Zhou Yuan laughed and said: "This is the characteristic of beer. It is full of gas and low alcohol content. Most people can drink it. The taste gradually changes from bitter to mellow that is unique to beer."

Seeing the white foam gushing from the corner of Ziqi's mouth, several of them drank it in small sips. In fact, some people don't like this taste, but at least they have experienced it.

After eating, Zhou Yuan picked up the squirrel mandarin fish, and the others followed suit.

Originally, they were curious when they saw this squirrel-like dish, but they were all surprised when they ate it. The taste was completely beyond their imagination, and they thought it was some kind of meat.

The owner of the restaurant was surprised after eating it: "Is this a fish?"

"It turned out to be fish? I've never eaten fish, Zhou Yuan, where did you get it? Even the palace rarely has fish." Huang Rong was pleasantly surprised, but blurted out, immediately realized something, and quickly shut up.

"You can catch fish by yourself." Zhou Yuan smiled. He understood that people here are really forced to live. They eat only to fill their stomachs. care.

Under such a cruel environment, it is really difficult to eat fish in an inland city.

The restaurant owner nodded and said: "Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet and sour, you have a wonderful mind, and you can make such a wonderful combination of a dish, you can be called the first chef in the city of God."

"I didn't say I made it, I just brought it for you to taste. This kind of craftsmanship is not something that ordinary people can do." Zhou Yuan shook his head and denied it. Some can admit it, but some can't brag about it, and it's easy to make mistakes. Big deal.

He knew that the identities of the people in front of him were unusual, and if one day he was asked to do it himself, it would be a big or small thing, and one of them might kill him.

"Oh! No wonder, but you have intentions to get these dishes." The owner nodded.

Then he took out a brown-black jar from the box. This kind of container looks simple, but it is as exquisite as the jar, and there are very beautiful reliefs on it, which seems to be telling a story.

After Zhou Yuan opened the jar, the unique aroma of rice wine wafted out. Zi Qi greedily took a deep breath and said joyfully, "It smells so good, so good wine."

Zhou Yuan said: "Ziqi, prepare a new bowl."

"Okay." Zi Qi happily ran to the kitchen, and came back in a few seconds. This guy ran to get the bowl with light work.

After placing them, he said, "These have all been washed."

Zhou Yuan raised the jar and poured a bowl for everyone, then he raised it and said, "My daughter Hong, the famous wine through the ages, come and drink."

Seeing Zhou Yuan down half of the bowl of rice wine in one gulp, Zi Qi showed admiration, and she also raised her head and drank it in one gulp, and said happily, "Good wine, I didn't expect you to drink well."

"Alcohol also has its own temperament. This daughter can taste red wine carefully or drink it wildly. She can feel different tastes, especially when she is with beauties like you. As the saying goes, everyone gets drunk when wine is not intoxicating." Zhou Yuan laughed loudly.

A few people didn't care about Zhou Yuan's sudden presumptuousness, but instead showed admiring eyes. They are all sons and daughters of the world, and they don't have the shyness of a lady, but they like this kind of boldness and straightforwardness.

They are all beauties, and I know it, especially the owner of the pavilion, who can definitely be called the title of peerless beauties. Zhou Yuan said that they are beautiful, which is normal.

Then he took a bite of the braised lion's head and ate it, showing enjoyment, and said, "This is the real braised lion's head, fat but not greasy, tender and refreshing."

Several people took a piece and nodded after eating it.

Zhou Yuan explained: "You must be wondering why I didn't bring seven, which happened to be one for each person. In fact, this braised lion head also has a name called Sixi Balls, which means auspiciousness, so there are usually four of them. plate."

"And there's this particularity. You're really too idle, and everyone else is worried about having enough to eat." Huang Rong couldn't help but yell at him.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "If conditions permit, why can't we add some meaning and express our hope for a better future for ourselves, so what's wrong with trying to make it auspicious?"

"Well, what Zhou Yuan said is right, if a dish has this expectation, it will have its soul, which is very good." The restaurant owner said appreciatively.

Huang Rong actually agrees, and especially likes this kind of thing with meaning, auspiciousness, what a beautiful yearning this is, people in Shendu need this kind of good expectation.

In the end Zhou Yuan took out a completely sealed bottle of white wine, which was bottled in white crystal, and inside was engraved with rich and precious flower crystals.

He took out a special knife, cut a circle around the mouth of the bottle, and then put it on a sleeve and snapped it off, and the break was neat.

As soon as the wine was opened, there was a strong aroma. Zi Qi took a deep breath, her eyes glowed, and her mouth was pursed. This strong aroma was her favorite.

"This is Wuliangye. When you open the bottle, you can smell the aroma. It is sweet, pure and thick, and has a clear sense of layering. The first fragrance after opening the bottle is more fragrant when you drink it, and the fragrance lingers after drinking. This is the characteristic of this kind of wine. Strong, do what you can.”

Zhou Yuan also took out a special wine cup this time, all of which were made of bronze. After pouring seven cups, he raised the cup and drank it in one gulp.

This wine is very suitable for Zi Qi's taste. After drinking this glass, she showed an intoxicated expression.

Others knew that the wine was really strong when they smelled it, and they all tasted it before drinking it.

Then eat it with Babao duck. This feeling of drinking and eating meat is so addictive.

"My God, there are eight kinds of ingredients in this duck. Can this really be made by humans? It's so fragrant and delicious." Lu Ying exclaimed in surprise.

After drinking such delicious food and wine, Ziqi couldn't help sighing, but instead frowned.

Zhou Yuan asked curiously: "Master Ziqi, who are you?"

Lu Ying said with empathy: "We are thinking about how we will live in the future after eating your food and wine, and other dishes will be like wax."

The others all looked at him, expecting his answer, even the owner of the pavilion.

They knew that the price of these foods was absolutely sky-high, no one expected to eat them every day, and they all expected Zhou Yuan to bring them next time.

Zhou Yuan said: "Not only are these ingredients difficult to find, but the production is also very cumbersome. Let's say that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall requires seven days to complete all the processes."

Lu Ying exclaimed: "Oh my God, this dish will take seven days! No wonder it's so delicious."

The owner nodded and said: "I have never seen most of the ingredients in the Buddha Jumping Wall. They can be called real delicacies from mountains and seas. It is a great fate to be able to eat them."

When everyone was sad, Zhou Yuan suddenly smiled and said: "I can treat you to a meal every month, and this wine, you help me promote it, and I will provide it for free."

"Really!" Everyone said in unison, even the owner of the pavilion. It can be seen that Zhou Yuan really conquered their stomachs this time.
