Chapter 244: Delicious Sour Cucumber
When the smell of medicinal food with a faint and strange aroma quietly wafted into the living room, it was already dark when the lights were on.
The few people who were chatting suddenly fell silent, and Ellie sniffed hard, and then muttered to herself with a confused expression: "What a strange smell, I feel a little hungry when I smell it." ”
At this time, Ye Xiaolei, who was sitting not far from her, murmured in surprise: "The unique fragrance of hawthorn after cooking, mixed with the taste of pickled cucumbers, is like a cool sweet spring in summer, and the smell is appetizing." ”
Qianshan Xue was silent, but the beautiful eyes that looked in the direction of the kitchen were unusually shiny.
Su Xiaonuan's eyes were equally surprised, but he said, "Haven't you eaten the food cooked by Shen Qiang?" He is a well-known host of medicinal food, and he has been popular on the Internet for a while before. ”
Chiyama Yukimi said shiningly, "The chef of the food cooked with medicine?"
Su Xiaonuan smiled.
At this time, seeing that the three of them had been attracted by the taste of Shen Qiang's medicinal food, Ai Li said unhappily: "The taste smells okay, but if you eat it, it may not be delicious, think about it, this taste, we can smell it from so far away, how strong is the taste in the mouth?"
"I don't have to guess, I know it's not going to be delicious. ”
Hearing this, Su Xiaonuan smiled coquettishly: "That's not necessarily, Shen Qiang's medicinal diet, but many people recognize it and compete to imitate it, if it really doesn't work, then I think, no one will follow it at all." ”
Hearing this, Ye Xiaolei's eyes also lit up: "Yes, yes, this taste is so fragrant, but the intensity is well controlled, I dare to say, even if it is served in front of us, the taste will definitely not be stronger than now." ”
Ellie raised her eyebrows: "What are you kidding, the spread of taste has always spread from strong to light, how is it possible, what you smell ten meters away is the same as what you smell in front of you?"
Hearing Ellie's question, Ye Xiaolei became nervous and explained, "I'm naturally sensitive to taste, so I'm able to determine ......."
"What a bad excuse, obviously impossible. Ellie interrupted.
Qian Shanxue frowned slightly and said, "Ellie, don't you feel very tired, why don't you go back to your room to rest." ”
Ellie was silent.
Su Xiaonuan got up gracefully and said, "I'll help, you guys will chat first, and we'll start dinner in a while." ”
Ye Xiaolei hurriedly stood up, and said with a bright look in her eyes: "I'm going to help too." ”
Two people went to the kitchen.
At this time, Shen Qiang's dishes had not been prepared to be dismantled, and after Su Xiaonuan entered the kitchen coquettishly, she naturally hugged Shen Qiang from behind and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Shen Qiang glanced at her helplessly and smiled: "Okay, if you really think I'm hard, then you should know how to reward me." ”
Su Xiaonuan's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and she said shyly and anxiously: "What are you talking nonsense? Don't you see Sister Xiaolei here?"
Shen Qiang turned his head, and at a glance saw Ye Xiaolei, who was standing awkwardly in front of the kitchen door, neither entering nor retreating, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Come and help serve the dishes." ”
When Ye Xiaolei, who was nervous and embarrassed, heard this, she immediately said yes, and then quickly served food to the restaurant with Su Xiaonuan.
Wait until Shen Qiang has everything done and comes out of the kitchen.
Shocked to see that a cold and arrogant Qianshan Xue was sitting at the dining table with bright eyes, and sitting next to her was Elle, who was also stunned and swallowing saliva.
Took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.
Shen Qiang opened it and poured himself a glass, then put the bottle of red wine on the table.
Seeing that Shen Qiang didn't mean to pour wine for others at all, Su Xiaonuan couldn't help but glance at Shen Qiang coquettishly, but before she could move, Qianshan Xue, whose eyes were shining, had already taken the red wine bottle over, and not only poured himself a glass very naturally.
In the same way, he didn't look at the others, but stared at the few dishes on the table, which were full of color and flavor, and said expectantly, "Are you ready to eat?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Shen Qiang's face.
After all, this is Shen Qiang's home, and everything is prepared by Shen Qiang.
"Please use it. ”
Shen Qiang, who shook the red wine glass gently, was very natural.
The voice has not yet fallen.
Qianshan Xue has quickly sandwiched a piece of pickled cucumber and put it in his mouth, and the moment he chews, the crisp cucumber has a natural fragrance, a refreshing taste, and a unique sour taste produced after pickling explodes instantly.
Like a shock wave, it not only instantly clears away the dryness of the mouth in the hot summer, but also immediately makes the taste buds that have become a little numb due to the scorching heat bloom instantly.
"Turn decay into magic! I didn't expect that such an ordinary piece of cucumber could become so delicious in his hands!"
looked at Qianshan Xue's somewhat strange eyes.
Elle at the table smiled: "The colonel usually doesn't have any expression when he eats. How about it, I guessed it, Shen Qiang's pickled cucumber must be unpalatable. ”
And almost at the same time as she laughed, Ye Xiaolei on the side couldn't control it, her eyes were obsessively sniffing the pickled cucumber on the chopsticks, and muttered: "What a charming taste." ”
As she spoke, she put the very verdant-looking pickled cucumber in her mouth.
Click!
The moment when the teeth are closed and the pickled cucumber is bitten off in the mouth.
The marinated juice gushed out like a storm, causing a tsunami in her mouth.
"The natural aroma of cucumber not only does not lose any of it because of pickling, but is given a unique sour taste, crisp taste, satisfying the desire of the tongue, just the right amount of fresh acidity, activating the taste buds, God, how is this possible, this is obviously just a pickled cucumber, but at this time, it is like a delicious bomb, which is unstoppable. ”
Seeing that Ye Xiaolei was suddenly stunned, Su Xiaonuan's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she hurriedly put a piece in her mouth, and when she chewed it slightly, her beautiful eyes immediately radiated brilliance.
"Sour cucumber is just an ordinary home-cooked side dish, almost everyone can pickle, but in the process of pickling, the umami of cucumber is usually replaced by sourness! What did Shen Qiang do? It turned out to be so magical, not only did the aroma of cucumber not lose the slightest, but it was locked in the pickled cucumber grandmaly, with the refreshing sour taste, and a faint sweetness, it was simply the most perfect sour cucumber I have ever eaten in my life!"
At this time, seeing the smiling Shen Qiang's eyes smiling confidently, the three of them all looked strange and did not speak, hesitated for a moment, took a piece of pickled cucumber with chopsticks, raised her eyebrows and said: "Okay, although I already know now that this should definitely not be delicious, I still have to try it reluctantly, otherwise I will have nothing to say when I criticize you." ”
Shen Qiang smiled: "If you don't want to eat, you can put it down." ”
"Do you know that what you make is not delicious, afraid that I will find a problem?" Ellie raised her eyebrows and threw the pickled cucumber into her mouth, at the same time, thinking more about how to pick the prickly next to make herself appear more professional.
Only, when she began to chew for a moment.
Click!
When the cracked cucumber is crisply bitten, it contains a full natural cucumber aroma and just the right amount of acidity, like a giant tornado, instantly awakening all the taste buds in Elle's mouth.
Ellie, who was stunned for an instant, had a red face, and her mind was cool.
"The crisp, sour, and rich natural aroma not only makes the heat completely dissipate, but also makes the whole person feel like taking off his clothes and running on the beach with a cool breeze, relaxed and ......."
