Food King [Interstellar]

Luo Xun told Jiang Tang that the purpose of Ou Shangnong's trip was to eat Jiang Tang's cooking, and to travel to Angus.Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ou Shangnong who was signing Mi Fensi's signature, put his hands in front of his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Will I pay for cooking?"

Luo Xun smiled: "Of course it's not free, but it's not cash either. He acts as a tourism ambassador for us for free. With him doing publicity, there will be an endless stream of tourists coming to Angus in the future. Will there be any income then?"

Jiang Tang bumped into Luo Xun's shoulder and laughed: "This deal sounds like a good deal. Is he famous?"

Luo Xun looked at him like he was looking at an alien: "Your information is actually more closed than mine. He is the king of pop and the most famous singer in the entire Galactic Empire."

Jiang Tang quietly grimaced, Ping Yan didn't even know such a famous person, how monotonous his life must be: "I don't know anything about the entertainment industry at all, I was tested for low IQ since I was a child, and I can't reach At a normal level, I can’t even go to school, I was educated at home, I don’t have many friends of the same age, and I don’t know much about the outside world.”

This was the first time Jiang Tang mentioned his personal affairs, and Luo Xun touched the back of his head with some distress: "Whoever said you have a low IQ, I think you are quite smart, and your talent in cooking can't be matched by many people."

Jiang Tang chuckled, and he also found it strange that modern people often claim to have an IQ of 150, but they are not so smart. It may be that modern people's standards for scoring IQ are different from before: "I used to think that I Pretty stupid, now I realize I'm not stupid either, hehe."

Luo Xun stretched out his hand and pinched the back of his neck: "I didn't—don't keep mentioning this word. Whoever wants to say that about you again, I'm in a hurry."

Jiang Tang looked at Luo Xun and giggled: "You have to be anxious. If you say I'm stupid, doesn't it mean that your vision is low?"

Luo Xun embraced his shoulders, confidently saying, "My vision has always been very good."

Jiang Tang continued to bring the topic back to Oshannon: "Is it okay for Oshannon to be our image ambassador? Isn't he afraid that the imperial government will ban him?"

"He has always been at odds with the government, and the government still has nothing to do with him because his appeal is too strong. One year he wrote a song satirizing the royal family, and the government blocked his record and company. Fans sat in front of the palace to protest for half a month, and finally forced the government to unseal him." Luo Xun has done his homework these days, and he knows a lot about Oshannon's situation.

Jiang Tang raised his brows, he is a big man, one person is worth thousands of troops, and he has to serve him well: "You haven't eaten yet, I'm going to cook now. I left rice for you Yes, it will be cooked in a while."

"Okay, I'll help you." Luo Xun rolled up his sleeves and was about to go to the kitchen.

"No, you go to accompany the big singer, I'll call you when you're done." Jiang Tang pushed Luo Xun back.

Luo Xun glanced at Oshannon surrounded by Mifensi, and said, "Okay, you go up first, we'll come back later." After speaking, he walked towards Oshannon.

Jiang Tang first went to the warehouse to get vegetables, and it was his first time to cook for Oushangnon. He didn't know what his taste was, whether he liked salty or sweet, so he would mix light and strong flavors together, so that he could eat whatever he liked.

The so-called warehouse is actually similar to a wholesale market. Every day, the vegetables sent by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fresh are collected here, and then sorted and processed by workers, and sent to fresh supermarkets for shelves.Jiang Tang doesn't need to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. He has the privilege to go directly to the wholesale market to get vegetables.He ordered two freshly killed live chickens, took a dozen fresh eggs, cut two catties of pork tenderloin, and picked up a rib.Today the ranch slaughtered two deer and sheep. The taste of deer and mutton is not like mutton or venison, but it is a bit close to beef. Jiang Tang prefers this recently. As long as he has it, he must take some.

After buying meat, he went to buy aquatic products. He just caught two fish when he heard someone call him: "Mr. Jiang, we caught a strange thing today, come and see it."

Jiang Tang walked over curiously, and found a slightly weird-looking blue-gray shelled animal in the tank. Its body was narrow and long like a shrimp, with two legs on each side and a claw. It looked like a crab or a shrimp. The complex is not small in size, it looks like it weighs two or three catties.Jiang Tang picked it up with a stick and turned it over. It struggled desperately in the water, paddling its four legs trying to turn over.Jiang Tang said: "A newly discovered species? Send it to Daniel's lab."

"It's already been delivered. Mr. Danny said it's edible, but no one knows what to do with it. I want to show you first."

Jiang Tang said, "That's fine, give this to me."

After buying the meat, Jiang Tang picked a bunch of fresh vegetables, and then dragged a cart of ingredients back to the kitchen with a trailer, and found that Luo Xun and Ou Shannon were already waiting for him in the kitchen. I haven't started to make it yet, and it will take a while to eat."

Luo Xun said: "Mr. Ou is a little curious about your cooking and wants to visit."

Jiang Tang nodded: "Then please go ahead. I'll start cooking now."

Luo Xun hurried over to help: "I'll help you."

Jiang Tang didn't refuse, there were a lot of dishes to cook, he couldn't do it by himself, so he had to call his assistant to help.As soon as he turned on the communication and called two people, Li Ang came. When Li Ang saw Luo Xun, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, "Mr. Luo is back?" In order to ensure that he spoke clearly, he spoke very fast. Slow, it sounds a little unnatural.

Luo Xun looked at Li Ang and smiled slightly: "Has your injury healed?"

Li Ang nodded, and said to Jiang Tang, "I'll help you."

Luo Xun raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You also learned how to cook?"

Li Ang's face was a little uncomfortable: "Don't do it, let's do it."

Luo Xun said: "Li Ang, you are recovering from your injury soon, you should stay in bed and don't be too tired."

Li Ang didn't know how to answer Luo Xun's words, so he silently took a handful of onions and began to choose them.Luo Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang was busy cutting vegetables, but he didn't notice the turmoil between the two, so he just said, "Luo Xun, help me wash this chicken, and carefully check that it's still clean. Is there any chicken feathers?"

Lawson let out an "oh" and came over to help.

Ou Shangnong rested his head on his hand, watching the interaction between Luo Xun and Jiang Tang with great interest. Luo Xun is a well-known leader of the revolutionary army, but at this time he actively helped Jiang Tang, a little chef. The relationship between the two of them must be unusual. What happened to the handsome mixed-race guy after that?Love triangle?Ou Shangnong couldn't help but look at Jiang Tang more. From the public's point of view, this boy is not handsome enough. His facial features seem to have many places that can be adjusted, but in fact they are not adjusted, and they are quite pleasing to the eye, but his size is flawed. I don't know if I'm an adult, but if I'm only 1 meters when I'm an adult, it's really a bit short.But both Luo Xun and that handsome mixed-race guy are so fond of him, there must be something special about him.

While plucking the feathers of the chicken, Luo Xun asked Jiang Tang, "What is the chicken going to do?"

Jiang Tang said, "I'm going to make a Three Cup Chicken."

"I haven't seen you do it yet, and it's delicious again." Luo Xun was in high spirits.

Jiang Tang said with a smile: "There are thousands of Chinese recipes, if not tens of thousands. You don't know much."

Ou Shangnong interjected, "Then how many kinds of Jiang Tang do you know?"

Jiang Tang said: "I don't know much, there are always hundreds of kinds, but I learn as I go, and I will finish it one day."

Ou Shannon gave a thumbs up: "Have ambition, come on, look after you!"

Jiang Tang chuckled: "I'm so proud." He started to process the ribs, cut them into sections, rinsed them with cold water, put them in the pot for half an hour, took out the ribs, and seasoned them with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and Marinate with cooking wine.During Luo Xun's absence, Jiang Tang was not idle, and developed both vinegar and cooking wine. The raw material of vinegar is sweet potato, and the raw material of cooking wine is fruit wine. In this way, the basic seasonings for cooking are complete. With this vinegar and cooking wine, cooking meat dishes is even more handy.

While Jiang Tang was cooking, he suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Ou, I haven't asked you what flavor you prefer."

Ou Shangnon waved his hand: "I will eat whatever you make. If there are other dishes that I can't accept, but the taste of Chinese food is absolutely normal and acceptable."

"Then do you have a favorite dish?"

Oshannon thought for a while: "Steam eggs. Do you know how?"

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would ask for this dish, he smiled: "It must be, just wait." Steaming eggs is the easiest, and it will be ready when the dishes are almost ready.

The two helpers also arrived at this moment, Jiang Tang arranged for them to help wash the vegetables and cut the meat, while he cut the venison and mutton into thin slices to marinate.Luo Xun had already washed the chicken, and Jiang Tang cut the chicken into pieces. Seeing that everything was ready, Jiang Tang turned on the fire and started cooking.First make the sweet and sour pork ribs, put the marinated pork ribs in the oil pan and stir-fry until they are browned, the already cooked ribs will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, add sugar, add salt to enhance the flavor, and then pour in the marinated ribs sauce, cover the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes.Collect the juice on high heat, pour in a spoonful of balsamic vinegar, and the sweet and sour pork ribs are done.

While the pork ribs were being stewed, Jiang Tang began to make three cups of chicken.The so-called three-cup chicken is stewed with a cup of oil, a cup of soy sauce, and a cup of cooking wine without adding any water.Cut the chicken into pieces and blanch in a pan under cold water. Drain and set aside. Put ginger slices and scallions in the oil pan to sauté until fragrant. Add the chicken and stir-fry until the color changes. Cook, and collect the juice on high heat.Then wash the casserole and heat it on the fire, pour the chicken into the casserole, pour a little sesame oil, cover the casserole and simmer for a while.Sesame oil is extracted from the nuts found in marshmallows. It has a strong aroma and is perfect for making sesame oil.

Luo Xun found that Jiang Tang made more than ten dishes today, all of which he had never seen before, not to mention sweet and sour pork ribs, three cup chicken, fried venison and mutton with pickled peppers, egg dumplings, steamed shrimp and crab, etc. Fish, really rare to unheard of.This dish is cooked on the table. The fish is cut into thin slices for later use. First, stir-fry the ingredients and add water to boil, then pour it into a casserole, put the fish fillets directly, and then put a few clean pebbles into it. In the casserole, the thorns in the pot bubbled up, and the fish was cooked, which was extremely delicious.All the people present opened their eyes: they can still use stones for cooking!

Ou Shangnong thought that Jiang Tang cooked too many dishes, but when it was time to eat, people who appeared from nowhere quickly surrounded the table, and Jiang Tang put the steamed eggs just out of the pan in front of Ou Shangnong , smiled and said: "Mr. Ou, my friends are not polite when they eat, so don't give in to them. If you are slow, you won't be able to eat. Here, here are the steamed eggs you asked for."

There were not too many people at a table, just a dozen people. Oshannon and his three bandmates, Daniel, Wendi, Fei Qi and Bruce, all came, plus Luo Xun, Jiang Tang, Li Ang and two assistants .Jiang Tang had already considered the number of people. When cooking, he tried to make double servings of each dish, so that he would not be afraid of not having enough food.

Luo Xun raised his wine glass: "First of all, I would like to welcome the arrival of Mr. Ou. Your arrival has really brought glory to Angus. Secondly, I would like to thank Jiang Tang for his hard work for preparing such a sumptuous dinner for us. Cheers to our acquaintance and long-lost reunion! "

Everyone stood up and clinked glasses with each other.Oushangnon sniffed the wine in the glass: "This wine has a rich and unique aroma. I have never tasted it before. I don't know what it is?"

Jiang Tang said: "This wine is made from the drunken fruit on our planet Angus."

"Drunk fruit? What are its characteristics?" Ou Shangnong was very interested.

Daniel then said: "The fruit has nothing special, it's just sweet, but the flower is very special..."

Luo Xun interrupted Daniel's words: "Mr. Ou, let's hurry up and eat food first. I will talk about the allusion later. It will be gone if it is later."

Ou Shangnong was not in a hurry to eat other dishes, so he tasted a spoonful of steamed eggs first: "Tender and smooth, moderately salty, good egg custard!"

Jiang Tang felt strange, the table was full of delicacies, why Ou Shannon had a special liking for egg custard.But Oushangnon only ate a spoonful of egg custard, and started to switch to other dishes. He also saw that no one was robbing the egg custard, and other things, if he ate slowly, there would really be no more.

Luo Xun ate the smooth and tender venison and mutton, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, the taste made by Jiang Tang is the most suitable for my taste."

Ou Shangnong was also very surprised by Jiang Tang's craftsmanship: "Jiang Tang looks young, but he cooks such delicious dishes. He is really a genius chef."

Jiang Tang said with a smile: "Mr. Ou has won the prize. I just like to eat delicious food, so I am willing to cook."

"You figured out these dishes by yourself?" Oshannon asked.

Jiang Tang said: "No. These are all traditional Chinese cooking methods."

Oshannon said: "I have eaten in several Chinese restaurants, but none are better than yours, and I have never tried some of your dishes. I am a little curious about where you learned your cooking skills. Of course, If it’s inconvenient, don’t say it.”

Jiang Tang glanced at Luo Xun, and Luo Xun came over knowingly and helped him out: "His first cooking skills were learned when he was working in a restaurant, and then I accidentally found some lost cooking materials, and he used those materials These dishes have been researched."

Jiang Tang added: "We are trying to find a way to sort out these lost recipes and then revive them."

Oshannon nodded and smiled: "The idea is very good. I heard from Luo Xun that you plan to popularize Chinese food so that people all over the world can eat your own food. This idea is very valuable. I also hope that no matter where I go, I can Eat delicious meals instead of using molecular meals to satisfy your hunger. Our Chinese ancestors said that "food is the most important thing for the people". I think it makes sense. Only when you eat well can you be motivated to do other things. Life will be better."

Jiang Tang didn't expect that Ou Shangnong would have the same thoughts as himself, and suddenly felt like he had found a bosom friend: "Yes, yes, Mr. Ou is right, that's what I think. If you can't even eat well , where there is happiness.”

Oshannon raised his glass: "Come on, kid, let's toast to your great cause! Come on, I'm very optimistic about you."

Jiang Tang clinked glasses with Ou Shangnon very happily: "Thank you Mr. Ou for your encouragement, I will work hard!"
