At first, there were many dishes that Gu Wei wanted to eat, many of which were his usual favorites, but the small treasury was not strong enough, so he could only eat a few of the dishes he missed the most.
This quail and eggplant dish has always been Gu Wei's favorite. It is a very beautiful Kung Fu dish that combines the skills of knife and fire.
Looking up, if it weren't for the wrong color, Gu Wei would have thought he saw a plump quail lying on the plate. The color was golden, with distinct feathers, lifelike. Even if the color was different, it would be dazzling in the blink of an eye. They all wondered if there was a new species in the quail world.
The surface with a layer of sauce poured on it seems like smooth feathers carrying the morning light. Bathed in the sun, green grass, birds, and a few faint "chirps" of birds can be heard, as if they are alive. Same.
"Hey, I shouldn't be able to learn this dish."
Gu Wei looked at this dish for two seconds and suddenly said, There is no way. Although he is very confident in himself and thinks that he is a talented player, the most important thing is to have self-knowledge. This dish is about knife skills. It's just like a towering mountain. If you can't walk over it, it's most likely that you'll be able to do it faster by hand.
Although it was not possible, the aroma was so overwhelming that it reminded Gu Wei to quickly move his chopsticks and move his mouth. He picked up the chopsticks and carefully picked off a piece of feather. Although the surface was a little soft because it was soaked in the soup, it could still be seen that it was fried properly. It's quite perfect, without a trace of moisture, so the thickened sauce can be absorbed so quickly.
As soon as the feathers are lifted, a large piece of delicate meat is exposed directly, and the strange aroma becomes more intense. Different from the aroma of pork and beef, quail meat has a meat aroma unique to birds, which is very different.
After being cooked, the dark red meat looks even more beautiful. It's like peeling off a layer of feathers to see the bones and flesh inside.
When it comes to the entrance of eggplants, because they are fried and then steamed, although the outer skin has lost its initial crispness, it becomes extra soft and tough due to the addition of water and soup, but the inside is very soft and tender. After biting open the skin with a little force, if you don't use enough force, you can hardly feel the inside, and your attention will be attracted by the next layer of skin. The middle is so tender and smooth that it almost melts as soon as you put it in your mouth. .
Compared with the outer layer, the inner layer is in direct contact with the quail meat, so it has a bit more flavor and is particularly delicious.
When he saw the appearance, Gu Wei knew that the taste of this dish was absolutely beyond imagination. After actually eating it, he realized that no amount of imagination was in vain, and it was not enough to achieve one-tenth of its true taste.
I have eaten out before, but the impression was not so deep. This time I ate the most familiar hometown dishes. Gu Wei felt that Yuan Zhou's cooking skills simply overturned his previous understanding. This is a taste that people can make. ? Probably not.
Gu Wei feels that he is well-informed, but he has never seen someone like Yuan Zhou, who does everything perfectly. Therefore, no matter how confident he is in himself, he will be able to create one or two points of Yuan Zhou's taste. Very satisfied.
I don't know whether he is being arrogant or confident. Fortunately, no one knows Gu Wei's thoughts.
The shock brought by the quail and eggplant has not passed yet, and the oily meat can’t wait to be served. Different from the previous strange fragrance, the most distinctive feature of this dish is definitely the extra soup.
When Gu Wei wrote the menu before, he specifically specified that he wanted Jincheng rice over oily pork.
In fact, there are many places with oily pork, such as Jiangsu cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, and Shanghai cuisine. Each place has its own characteristics, but the oily pork in Shanxi cuisine is still very different, especially in Jincheng. Being a "Three Jins and One Blind" is by no means an unearned reputation.
Moreover, Jincheng Guoyourou boasts that the rice is better than the oily meat. This is proved by the saying, "When you have a bowl of white rice, you should plate the oily pork with it, and add onions, peppers and garlic. The more you eat, the more you like it." This is the origin.
What happened to be served after the oily pork was a bowl of white rice. Gu Wei didn't care about anything else and just ate it according to his usual habits. The tender meat slices, the mellow soup, and the fragrance of the rice made him feel like he was on the other side of the world. In Jincheng, I feel comfortable all over. The pores on my body are opened to breathe in the fresh air. I feel comfortable from the inside out. It is very comfortable.
Gu Wei didn't know how others felt, but he himself felt very comfortable. Whether it was the quail and eggplant before or the oily pork now, he saw the unique charm of Shanxi cuisine.
I have been vaccinated before. No matter where the cuisine is, as long as it is available here in Yuanzhou, the most authentic one must be here in Yuanzhou. I used to just listen to this sentence and feel nothing, but now I think it is... Wei felt that those people were too humble.
He is not a professional chef and cannot judge whether it is authentic or not, but there is no doubt that the taste is top-notch. Even if he is an ordinary diner, he knows that such a taste is almost impossible to appear in the human world.
It is really delicious as I have never seen before. The last dish, mutton with green onions and cypress seeds, is originally a very common herbal dish. The recipe is even simpler, just stir-fried with green onions. The only requirement is the heat, but the heat looks still good. It was relatively simple, but even with such a simple dish, Gu Wei had a completely different feeling after eating it.
With the distant aroma of cypress seeds, the mutton is tender and fragrant, not fishy and not smelly. It is definitely the best among muttons. It is as tender as the first touch of green in spring. It is endearing. When you eat it, it feels like spring has come to your body. Likewise, there is a vibrant and warm atmosphere everywhere.
"Eighteen, nineteen... twenty-three, a total of twenty-three ten-dollar bills and five hundred-dollar bills. That's more than seven hundred yuan. It should be enough to save for more than a week. It will be the Lantern Festival by then. During the holidays, my daughter-in-law takes turns to take her day off. You can bring her to the shop to try Shanxi cuisine. She should be very happy."
Although he finished four dishes and a bowl of rice, Gu Wei still felt that he was still unsatisfied, but he did not continue to order, but silently began to calculate the remaining money in the small treasury, calculating how long it would take to bring his wife to eat. With good food, it would be natural It needs to be shared with the wife, and both Gu Wei and Yuan Zhou did equally well in this aspect.
One is internal and the other is external, but no matter what, they are just spreading dog food. For singles, these should be humane destruction and are heresy. However, since the singles alliance has been lost, Yuanzhou and Wu Hai have After forming a powerful force, it will be unable to recover after a fall, and it will no longer be possible to show affection.
Having made plans in his mind to bring his wife here next time, Gu Wei stood up and walked outside to make room for others. During this period, he nodded to Yuan Zhou to say hello. After all, Yuan Zhou was very busy and could communicate with each other despite his busy schedule. He nodded and said hello, and he was already very familiar with Yuan Zhou.
The fact is that Yuan Zhou and Gu Wei still know each other, at least they are familiar with each other. The two people's acquaintance is also dramatic. They both fall in love with a mulberry silk scarf. It is very beautiful and they both want to buy it for their own homes. However, There was only one, and in the end, although Yuan Zhou got it through his skills (face-swiping), the two of them could not be considered acquainted without fighting.
