Chapter 177: It's not good at this level

"Keep serving, that's not enough to stuff your teeth!" Cao Ren cleaned it up, and then immediately urged the food to be served.

Or ...... I'm even hungrier......" Xun Yu also had an expectant expression on his face, the taste of crystal skin jelly is really good, there is no smell of pork skin, it tastes smooth and delicious, just like a pudding without taste, no wonder it needs dipping sauce to taste.

"Wait a minute, the first soup and side dishes will come up one after another!" Wang Yong shouted, seeing that everyone had almost eaten, he clapped his hands, the regular banquet, the guests have not finished eating, how can they casually serve new dishes.

Just looking at the French set meal of later generations, a set of thirteen dishes can't be eaten in three or four hours, which shows that this food will become very troublesome if it involves ceremonial things at all. However, the upper class will tell you: it is more noble to eat this way!

You must know that it is not only a few of them who are attending the meeting tonight, but also some civil servants and military generals. As the head chef, Wang Yong can't ignore one or the other. Taking care of every guest is what he needs to do.

With Wang Yong's instructions, the assistant chef in the back kitchen brought out a large clay pot. Someone else brought out a table, and the clay pot was placed on top of it.

Help go out and take out the bowl and spoon, and then serve the soup one after another, and serve it to everyone. In order not to make the process boring, it is also a way to show the process of meal distribution.

"Watching them share their meals like this makes me feel even hungrier!" Hua Tuo said with interest.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xun Yu's eyes had already released a hot look.

"Soup, soft-shelled turtle and ham soup!" Wang Yong introduced to everyone, "The ham is specially blanched and then added to the soft-shelled turtle soup to boil, and shiitake mushrooms are added to enhance the fragrance." The taste is light and fragrant, and it is perfect as a base soup! ”

"Indeed, it doesn't seem to have much oil and water at all, and the soup is clear, so will it really be very sweet?" Xiahoudun looked at the soup in the soup bowl and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"After drinking, it should be fine......" Guo Jia smiled, picked up the spoon and scooped it up, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

The entrance is full of gelatinous soup, and what is wrapped in it is a delicious soup, and it is hard to imagine that such a clear soup can be so delicious. The saltiness of the ham is just right that it doesn't spoil the flavor of the soup and doesn't overlook.

"I've had turtle stew in chicken soup before, and it's a very fragrant taste. However, the source of the fragrance mainly comes from chickens, after all, turtles are creatures that don't taste good, and the taste itself is a bit light, and the earthy and fishy smell are also very annoying. It's always been strange, who would eat this kind of thing......" Xun Yu also began to evaluate, "But I didn't expect that Wuwu's control over turtles was so high!" Not to mention the fragrant and delicious chicken soup stewed turtle before, just say that the current soft-shelled turtle ham soup, ham and shiitake mushrooms are the main source of fragrance, and this gelatinous taste, as well as a faint fragrance, comes from soft-shelled turtles, that is, soft-shelled turtles. ”

"It's rare to have three ingredients living in harmony, and what is really rare is that it's so delicious, but it's not too rich, there is almost no fat, even if you drink a bowl, you won't have a strong sense of satiety, but instead remove the sour taste of the previous dish, so that the mouth is fresh, just enough to taste the next dish!" Hua Tuo also commented, but she didn't expect her to know how to eat.

"So, hurry up, hurry up! Appetizers and soup don't fill your stomach at all! Xun Yu complained directly, but this is also the foundation, just like the banquet in the south, the cashew nuts and fish fillets are often brought out first, and then the soup, but these two things, I feel that eating a lot of food will not fill the stomach, but will make people crave a hard dish more.

"Third course, come on!" Wang Yong clapped his hands, and the side dishes were served.

Not pre-prepared steamed sea bass, but braised lion's head. The sea bass was transferred by him to the fourth main course, which was more in line with the needs of the dinner. After the menu is formulated, it is also the basis to adjust it according to the needs and actual situation.

You know, the original menu was set up on the basis of no soup!

"Yes!" The cooks first brought down the clay pot containing the soup, and the kitchen assistant in the back brought up a big basin, all the big meatballs, which is the braised lion's head!

There were no lions in ancient China, and later it was said that during the Western Han Dynasty, foreigners paid tribute to lions, and only a few people encountered them at that time. With the introduction of Buddhism, it became a spiritual animal endowed with divine power.

Ordinary people have never had the opportunity to see lions, so they have created a 'lion' belonging to China with the legendary image of cunning and gluttony. The folk chef even made a large meatball and named it 'Lion's Head'.

Take lean pork, water chestnut, and mushrooms as the main ingredients, and a little ginger slices.

Chop the pork puree, cut the water chestnut and mushroom rice, add salt and cornstarch and beat until the meat is gelatinized to make four large balls. Boil the oil in the pan, add the large meatballs at a temperature of 130°C, fry them until golden on the outside and cooked on the inside, and set aside.

Leave oil in the pot, add ginger slices, add some soup, put in large meatballs, put salt, sugar, dark soy sauce, burn over low heat until the juice is thick, and then thicken the juice with wet cornstarch and put it on a plate.

Originally, there was a seasoning called monosodium glutamate, but because of the soup, there was no need for monosodium glutamate. Besides, Wang Yong couldn't get the ready-made monosodium glutamate, and he didn't dare to take it out and use it in the previous inventory.

The improved braised lion head is also marked by Wang Yong, and it is completely 'produced by Wang Yong'. At this level, he finally dared to take it out to meet guests!

"Wow, what a big meatball? Why is it called a lion's head? Xun Yu looked at the two lion heads placed in front of her, and suddenly looked at Wang Yong suspiciously.

"The people have never seen a lion, and there is a chef who makes a huge meatball in the shape of a lion and names it as a lion's head, which can be regarded as allowing the people to see and understand." Wang Yong replied.

"It wasn't pork in the first place, right?" Xiahoudun asked rhetorically, "And the one you use should be pork!" ”

"It's true that at first it was a different kind of meat, steamed with crab meat. However, the taste is relatively light, and the last dish is a aquatic product, so this dish is changed to braised and is a hard dish! Wang Yong replied.

"That's just right, I ate the appetizer and the soup, and now I can't wait to eat something thick! But don't worry, it's just a side dish, right? The side dishes are so rich, and the main dishes are not sloppy! Xun Yu teased, holding chopsticks and putting one of the lion's heads on top of the spoon, and then biting it down.

The original fragrance of pork, coupled with the sweetness of water chestnuts and the fresh aroma of shiitake mushrooms, is completely lifted by the braised thickening. The key is the thick texture, which can be very satisfying in just one bite. Two lower belly, that will definitely be very comfortable.

"But don't worry, has your cooking regressed again?" Cao Ren quipped, "Although these three dishes are very delicious, in terms of umami and aroma, they taste average!" And the second soup also dilutes the taste of the first one! ”

"Probably......" Wang Yong smiled faintly, but he was not embarrassed at all.

"There's something more awesome waiting for us in the back, right?" Cao Ren looked at Wang Yong with interest.
