Chapter 348: Thick Potato Beef Stew
Everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on Wang Yong in an instant, and the latter enjoyed this gaze, which represented eagerness, and also proved that the first two dishes were very satisfying to the guests.
"The third course, beef stew with potatoes!" Wang Yong looked at Wei Yan, who nodded, and then he solemnly announced.
"Beef, he just said beef, right? There are so many of us, even if it is divided directly, it will be at least three or four cows...... And if you choose the best part of the cattle, then it is estimated that it will take six or seven cows...... Damn it, how dare you waste a cow like this?! "An old Han clan relative, whose generation is already the existence of Liu Xie's grandmother's generation, stood up directly and scolded his mother.
Many of the older generation, not necessarily like those vassal kings, live a life that is no longer brilliant, but at least they have no worries about food and clothing, and the local officials are still more afraid of themselves. Most of them (they) live the life of ordinary landlords, at most one or two cows at home, and now considering this dinner, they actually killed six or seven cows for a dish, but I think that Wang Yong changed to kill!
"Explain ......" Wang Yong looked at the situation below and was a little excited, so he coughed lightly and announced loudly, "All the beef cattle tonight are long-haired cattle purchased by Wanshiwu in Qiangdi, this kind of cattle is only suitable for living in relatively cold areas, and is not suitable for the environment of the Central Plains, and may even die of heat in summer, so they can only be killed to eat meat, and cannot be used for farming......"
"That's right...... But isn't it expensive to do so? When the old man heard this, he suddenly calmed down a little. Cattle are the treasure of farmers, and naturally they are extremely precious. As for wealth, I didn't take it too seriously. The current situation in many places is like this, money can't buy cattle!
"For everyone's peace of mind, it's okay to spend a little bit." Liu Xie said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they were actually very happy in their hearts. They did give Liu Xie some money, but those were all decided to give after they came and confirmed Liu Xie's situation. And for the dinner party prepared by Liu Xie, the dishes were all purchased in advance, obviously it was impossible for her to know in advance that they (they) would send money and food.
Therefore, this heart, all the clan relatives are warm in their hearts, this majesty is a caring person and worthy of support. In fact, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, and the court didn't show enough strength, who would want to ignore the court?!
This time, the container is actually a wooden sea bowl, not a precious wood, but the texture is very good, such a bowl holds potato stew, and it looks like it has a heavy feeling.
The tableware itself is also a part of the food, the color, flavor and shape are nourished, the front is the basic three requirements of food, and with the change of the times, there are gradually three more requirements. The use of tableware is included in the 'shape'.
Earlier, Wang Yong named the 'preserved duck spring bamboo shoot and radish soup' as the 'Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet', which is the manifestation of 'meaning'. Finally, nourishment, the help of food to the body, the help of health, this is the essence of 'nourishment'.
In Wang Yong's view, meeting the first three requirements is probably the level of a senior chef, and only by meeting these six standards can it be regarded as truly reaching the field of a special chef.
But I'm sorry, but he does have a little ...... Named and deprecated...... Potato beef stew, he really can't think of an elegant name. Maybe it's because he focuses on everyday cuisine, and it feels weird to have such an elegant name.
Just such a 'potato beef stew', easy to understand, the key is the moment you say it, deep down in your heart it seems that you have begun to automatically recall the taste of this dish, and the liquid begins to secrete, which is the essence of homely cooking!
"I was trying to eat something heavy, and this plate, just looking at it, felt very comfortable. This dish, just by looking at it, satisfies the needs of the heart. Liu Yao looked at the potato stew in the wooden basin, obviously it didn't look much, a few potatoes and a few beef, but why did there be a sense of heaviness?!
"Let's try it first!" Liu He picked up a piece of potato, which he knew was a recent new crop, but it didn't seem to have become popular. It is said to be highly productive, but there is a drawback, sprouted potatoes contain toxins. Many people are still a little afraid of this thing.
"Since you can bring this thing out, it should have been well handled, right?" Liu He muttered a sentence, and then put it in his mouth, and a thick feeling of fragrance was suddenly transmitted from the taste buds to the brain. Is that glutinous and rich taste the taste of potatoes?!
The soup of the beef is absorbed to the fullest, and the key is to blend perfectly with the original flavor of the potatoes...... Wait, why is this beef so juicy! If it weren't for the juicy meat to this extent, it wouldn't have tasted like this!
Is it true that all the secrets are on the beef? Liu He picked up a piece of beef and put it directly in his mouth!
Beef, he hasn't eaten it secretly in recent years! As a vassal king, Peng Chengguo occasionally fell and killed one or two cows, is it too much to eat one or two catties of meat? !
Is this the taste of beef? Suddenly, Liu He felt that the beef he had eaten before was all rubbish! Or is it that the beef of this long-haired cow is better, so the chef will choose such beef?!
"Aged beef!" Cao Cao stood up directly and looked at Wang Yong, "This is stewed with aged beef?" ”
"Exactly, I didn't expect Wanshiya to start making and selling aged beef, but the price is a little higher." Wang Yong was a little embarrassed, for the sake of tonight's effect, he chose aged beef, and it was dry aged beef!
In other words, the whole feast was actually at least ten cows! After all, at least one-third of the meat of dry-aged beef cannot be eaten, so it can only be thrown away, and the degree of waste is too high, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford!
"Well, just for this taste, forget it this time!" Cao Cao couldn't say anything, just look at the shock of the people below, and you can see how effective this potato beef stew is.
"Aged beef...... What is it? Liu Yao heard this term for the first time.
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it at all......" Liu He shook his head, but he was sure that this beef was superb! Definitely a high-end product, undoubtedly the top quality! This kind of beef is soft and juicy after being warmed or slow-simmered, and it vaguely absorbs some of the glutinous aroma of potatoes and vaguely has a hint of nuts, which is really delicious!
"The key is that I feel very little, obviously not much, but why ......" Liu Ye was completely intoxicated, obviously he didn't eat much, but the feeling of heaviness gave people just the right amount of satisfaction.
"As a side dish, this dish is just right to satisfy the appetite aroused by the first two dishes, and it ends at the right time, which makes people unsatisfied and satisfying at the same time...... So, shouldn't the main course come up? Lu Zhi looked at Wang Yong.
"Indeed, you can't be kept waiting too long!" Wang Yong smiled and nodded, then looked at Xu Huang, who nodded and began to go back to command.
After a while, at least six roasted whole sheep were brought up, and Wang Yong also solemnly introduced: "Main dish, roasted whole sheep, please use it slowly!" ”
