Chapter 723
The dishes were served by the palace maids and a large bowl of meat served in black stone pottery was placed in front of the guests. According to the name of the dish, it is not difficult to guess that this should be rabbit meat.
As expected, this is indeed rabbit meat, and as a side dish is mushrooms, to be precise, matsutake mushrooms. Of course, it is no problem to say that this is waiting for the rabbit, after all, the strain is also a strain.
"This feels much lower-end... The first few dishes are a bit high-end, why are they so friendly to the people here?" Cao Ren couldn't help but complain. This dish feels very ordinary, just stir-frying rabbit meat and matsutake, which feels very ordinary!
Especially the rabbit meat is still not bone-free, and it is stir-fried with bones. Which imperial chef cuts corners?
"Matsutake is not fresh, but is dried and preserved..." Liu Bei nodded. Compared with the previous dishes, this dish really feels a bit lower.
"You will know after eating it, at least it won't be unpalatable." Cao Cao replied, and said as he picked up a piece of rabbit meat.
The delicious food I only know when I get the mouth is probably this dish. I can’t feel it at all when I haven’t eaten it, but when I eat it, I find that it is so tender. The rabbit meat is made of breast rabbits that have just been born, and the bones have not yet become completely hard, which means that some small bones can even be chewed and eaten directly.
I don’t know if it’s because of drinking milk, so there is even a faint milky aroma in the meat of the rabbit. It is highlighted against the background of the sauce. At the same time, although the matsutake is dry, the unique rich aroma of the dry food further highlights the tenderness of the rabbit meat.
"Suddenly I understand why big bad wolf always likes to eat rabbits..." Cao Cao joked that this dish has a very mellow flavor and a very tender and delicious taste. The biggest problem is probably cruel. One person's dish needs to be made with a breast rabbit. For so many guests, I don't know how many rabbits I have to kill to achieve it.
"Mengmeng, don't be like you are not a little rabbit." Cao Ren teased.
"Xiaohua...I don't seem to have had a long time to discuss with you..." Cao Cao replied calmly.
"Haha...joke, joke..." Cao Ren actually believed that he could beat Cao Cao, but of course she would not really fight Cao Cao, so she could only admit defeat.
"The rabbit meat is tender and delicious, and the matsutake tastes extremely mellow. So that's the case. The simple cooking method is to maximize the flavor of the two ingredients." Wang Yun tasted the dishes and then sighed.
"Indeed, when some dishes are already excellent, transitional cooking will waste the original flavor of the ingredients. Remember that there is a kind of seafood sweet shrimp that is like this. Take it up and peel it directly and eat it directly. The sweetness is the most delicious state. It is not good to cook." Lu Zhi nodded.
"By the way, remember that sweet shrimps are not cheap, right?" Fu Wan looked at Lu Zhi, especially to transport them to Xudu.
"The newspaper made a lot of money..." Lu Zhi replied casually, he made money by advertising at the beginning, and he also made a lot of money after publishing. As the founder and shareholder of Shilin Weekly, Lu Zhi distributed a lot of money.
"A good cultural industry has made you smell like money." Fu Wan shook his head.
"………………” Wang Yun and Lu Zhi didn't say anything. The former was also a shareholder. Especially during this period, they not only made a lot of money, but also made a lot of reputation. It is just the right thing to make a fortune in silence. As for Fu Wan's sour words, just ignore them.
"After speaking of this dish, I feel really guilty when I eat it..." Guan Yu ate the meat in the bowl, "I just had to endure such a catastrophe not long after I was born."
"With that being said, in the wild world, the prevalence of the weak is the natural law. Perhaps, this is what this dish wants to express." Liu Bei sighed. She knew very well that Guan Yu would say this because she was about to become a mother.
The glory of motherhood has made Guan Yu much gentler... I suddenly want to fall in love.
"After that being said, this thing tastes mellow and mellow, but why do you always feel a little bit unfulfilled..." Cao Ren complained.
"Because this is a side dish before the main course, it plays a role in connecting the past and the future. The lamb chops in front are too strong, so this dish slows down, which is presented. Then this dish follows, the next final dish. So if it is too strong, it will cause people to lose their expectations for the next dish." Cao Cao replied.
"So what is the next dish? I have served mutton before, let alone beef this time, right? Then again, the mature beef is actually quite good, of course braised beef... no, I actually feel like I'm drooling again..." Cao Ren wiped the corner of his mouth.
By the way, the yellow gate has begun to come out and announced the eighth dish: "The eighth dish, Qiankun roasted geese!"
"Geese? Big geese?" Wang Yun was a little surprised. It was not easy to catch this thing. Many times, geese flew in the sky and needed excellent archers to shoot.
The best-looking thing is to shoot arrows directly from the mouth of the wild goose. Xue Rengui has done it in history, but I don’t know if it is. The key is that this thing is basically wild, and domestically domesticated, it is called "geese". Chinese geese are basically domesticated by "hongyan", and of course they have also been modified through hybridization.
Because of this, many people are used to calling wild geese "wild geese".
"Actually, I think it's better to use goose directly. Goose has more meat and a larger body shape. For wild geese... they are not much bigger than ducks..." Wang Yun complained a little, and then stopped talking soon.
I saw a large number of yellow doors coming out, putting a long table in the middle of the banquet, and then bringing up plates of newly roasted wild geese. Many guests thought that this was a meal and split the wild geese. Who knew that with more than a dozen chefs coming up, they cut the wild geese with kitchen knives, revealing the grass and flowers inside.
The wild geese were completely abandoned, and they only put four or five wild geese on the plate and served them to the guests. It was just one dish, and I don’t know how many wild geese would be wasted before cooking it.
"Luxury, this is too luxurious! No, I want to report it. If you continue to cook such dishes, it will probably cause luxury!" Lu Zhi couldn't bear it anymore. Her Confucian scholar told her that this kind of extravagant and wasteful behavior must be stopped.
"Dear guests, please ask me to bring a word in the kitchen..." At this moment, Huangmen said slowly, "These wild geese were all caught by chance in the hunting ground, so the cost is not high. It is mainly to cater to the theme of tonight's dinner, so it has been changed to wild geese. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to use roast geese. In addition, these wild geese will be sliced later for us servants, so we will not waste it."
"Look, your nephew is really good at thinking." Lu Zhi said angrily. She had no choice but to have an attack.
"The subtext has been made very clear. This is only once, so I won't be the case." Wang Yun smiled faintly.
"I want to see how delicious it is, it can be wasted so much!" Lu Zhi picked up a croaker, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then bit it down...
