After being stunned for a while, Xu Guangling scrolled the mouse again in disbelief and turned to the third menu.
He still couldn't believe how simple every menu was!
The third menu is a dish that Xu Guangling is very familiar with, even more familiar than the first two. The first two, whether it is braised pork or braised pig's trotters, well, the fried pig's trotters should be similar, in fact, they are very common dishes.
Mode.
But this is not surprising. Even the imperial chef cannot cook weird dishes every day.
Moreover, the more high-level chefs, such as the so-called imperial chefs, are most likely to be the simplest and most commonly cooked dishes, this makes sense. Xu Guangling guessed without reason at this time that maybe someone
As an imperial chef, his specialty is stews!
The most common and common stew dish in Northeast China!
Those messy and fancy dishes may be used in formal banquets or even large-scale banquets, but most of those things are just for "viewing", they can be served on the table, but they cannot be eaten by the stomach. Of course, the taste cannot be bad.
Wherever you go, basic delicious food is usually within reach.
But compared with the real high-level "old style" cooking with care, there is actually no comparison.
Returning to one's original nature should be the most basic requirement for practitioners in every industry after reaching an advanced level, just like Xu Guangling's own understanding of chess now.
But in fact, his chess level should be between master and quasi-master now. The experience in the dream gave him a super high starting point and allowed him to basically integrate it, but from a self-perception point of view, he still lacks
It's time to further hone his skills and truly understand the "core essence" on the chessboard just like he understood Tai Chi.
In fact, on the chessboard, he has not yet understood that thing.
Therefore, Xu Guangling knew that he still had a lot of room for improvement in this project.
Return to menu.
The third dish is "mutton steamed bun".
The first two, whether they are braised pork or stewed pig trotters, although they are common, Xu Guangling has eaten them all, but the number of times he has eaten them is extremely limited! The reason is that he doesn’t really like eating them. I can only say that he doesn’t hate them, but he also talks about it.
Not liked.
Just the usual kind.
But the mutton steamed buns are different.
When Xu Guangling ate it in Beidi, he fell in love at first sight and liked it very much.
During that time, he ate a lot of "sheep"-related dishes, such as roasted whole lamb, roasted lamb chops, shabu-shabu mutton, haggis, roasted lamb stick bones, mutton steamed buns, mutton skewers, etc.
Roast whole lamb is to use the young sheep raised by the herdsmen that have not yet passed the winter. They are processed, skewered whole on the rack, and slowly roasted with smokeless charcoal underneath. It is regarded as an extra-large "big lamb skewer".
Brush the lamb with oil and various seasonings, then use knives, scissors, etc. to break open the lamb from the outside inward, allowing the oil and seasonings to seep in little by little, until the outer skin becomes crispy and the whole lamb becomes crispy.
Brown all over, then remove the cooked outer layer.
Especially the "pieces of meat" that have been cut open with a knife. Pick up a piece, a big piece, and stuff it into your mouth. Three sides are crispy and one is tender. Chew it in your mouth, and the crispy parts on the outside are mixed with the meat.
The oil and seasonings that are still slightly blanched, click slightly in the mouth, are chewed like crushed ice, and then mixed with the tender but fully cooked mutton inside, filling the entire mouth.
, also exploded.
Is it delicious?
tasty!
It’s really delicious!
The same is true for several other items, such as haggis, which is the most common and seems to be the most common. In Northland, there are such haggis restaurants in many streets and alleys.
On those cold days in winter that are unique to the North, it's usually 20 to 30 degrees below zero outside. Of course, it's even better when it snows. Go to a slightly famous restaurant to have a meal of haggis like this. It's piping hot.
, steaming hot, ensuring that the whole body feels comfortable from the inside out after eating it.
That feeling may be something that northerners who have moved to the south miss when winter comes. Once they think of it, it is probably one of the reasons for homesickness.
The other items are mostly the same, and each has its own merits.
But as the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences. Among these foods that are difficult to say which is higher or lower, Xu Guangling's favorite is mutton steamed buns, and the others have to be put at the back.
This is probably also related to the restaurant where he first had mutton steamed buns.
In other words, that restaurant is well-done and extremely delicious!
When the mutton soup was served, he took a spoon and tentatively took a spoonful and put it into his mouth. At that time, Xu Guangling was immediately amazed. It was so fresh! So fragrant! In fact, it seems that it is not suitable to talk about it separately, but should be put together.
, it’s just so delicious!
Just that one bite made Xu Guangling greedy!
Afterwards, Xu Guangling was extremely satisfied with the entire meal.
That day, Xu Guangling went there at a bad time for dinner. The restaurant was not busy at that time. When it was time to pay the bill, the landlady came over in person. After hearing Xu Guangling's uncontrollable praise, the landlady said that this was not the best.
For the best and most authentic mutton steamed buns, you still have to go to Xi’an to eat it!
Later in Xi'an, Xu Guangling was taught by Mr. Jia, a little connoisseur of gourmets. He had eaten mutton steamed buns from two restaurants. The taste did seem to be better, but because of his preconceptions, it left the deepest impression on Xu Guangling.
It feels like the first restaurant in Northland.
Fortunately, the two companies in Xi'an did not disappoint Xu Guangling.
Otherwise, the situation may be a bit embarrassing, and he may feel a little sad.
After that, Xu Guangling also went too far in several other places, but the dissatisfaction rate was very high. One of them even let Xu Guangling take a bite and immediately put down the bowl. - What the hell!
Therefore, no matter how good something is, it still depends on people to make it.
But at this time, behind the "mutton steamed buns", a dish that Xu Guangling liked very much and was pleasantly surprised after seeing it, the imperial chef wrote two words:
Whole sheep!
Then it was gone!
Nothing more!
"Whole lamb!" This is the so-called secret recipe of making "mutton steamed buns" by an imperial chef.
To fool people?
no.
Mostly not.
If you are a little more arbitrary, or a little bolder, or a little more objective, this "most likely" can probably be removed.
The only problem is that he can't understand it.
I don’t understand one part, I don’t understand two parts, and I still don’t understand three parts!
Awkward!
Really, Xu Guangling was a little embarrassed at this moment, even very embarrassed. Now, he was like a ragged man who stepped into a splendid golden hall without any knowledge or preparation.
, and then everywhere you look, the whole hall is full of well-dressed people...
He is not qualified to read this menu now...
I simply can't understand it at all.
Among them, the ones who are less qualified are not just a little bit inferior, but many, many, many, many and all, from heaven to earth!
There's trouble!

Thanks for the recommendation vote for "Lean Pork with Cabbage". By the way, cabbage and lean meat are both ingredients for making stews.
