Chapter 46 Exchanges between Gourmets
The first thing Xia Yu did when he returned home was to find a plate.
He had to conjure up the food before the first impression was gone.
Foodmaking - Change!
With a snap, a juicy tomahawk steak appeared on the plate.
At first glance, it looks almost exactly the same as the one I ate today, but if you look closely, you can see some differences.
The texture of the meat is obviously much less, almost a complete piece, no way, the memory of this thing will be blurred after a slight pause, no matter how hard you try, it's useless.
The bones are also obviously much more 'beautiful', a little less hideous and rough than animal bones, and the surface of the bones looks very smooth, like the color of ivory.
Well, at least it didn't get any worse in appearance, it was just a little bit distorted.
Cut a piece and taste it, it tastes almost identical, maybe even better, after all, delicious things are usually more amazing the first time you eat them, and if you eat too much, it may be the same.
The taste of the Meal Brewing is more like an entity that projects the caster's memory, so it can ensure that the flavor obtained by the eater perfectly restores the amazing bonus in the caster's heart.
The rest is a matter of details, and it should be finalized after eating it twice.
But this thing is really expensive, a steak is almost worth his daily income.
At noon the next day, Xia Yu went to sell roast chicken as usual, but today he raised the price.
Sixty-one roast chickens, forty-one buckets for the whole family, thirty-one hamburgers, and beef noodles have not changed, still twenty-one bowls.
The people who bought it immediately were not as enthusiastic as before, but fortunately, there were not many of them, and they were sold out after ten more minutes, and there was one more benefit, and the people who suspected that there was a problem with the meat were gone.
Xia Yu said before that it was sold so cheaply a few days ago because it was a trial opening promotion, so it would not be too abrupt, but many people regretted that they didn't buy much before.
Xia Yu didn't plan to sell it for too long, and when he sold it for another two or three days, he would sell the steak instead.
In the afternoon, he went to exercise as usual, and continued to eat steak in the evening, this time he ordered a medium-rare one, and he would definitely be able to choose a few degrees of cooked steak when selling steaks in the future, so he was going to order a different cooked steak if he didn't eat it.
This time the 'learning' came back, and the steak conjured was very close to the original.
Xia Yu decided to study for another day to finish his work, these three meals cost more than 1,000 yuan, and his money is still kept to start a business, but he can't eat Haisai so nonsense, the key is that he eats too much steak, and he is a little greasy, and he doesn't have the amazing feeling at the beginning when he eats it again, and there is no need for it.
On the third day, he had another steak, and this time he ordered a fully cooked one.
It is not as tender as the medium-rare one, but the aroma of the fruit tree is more intense, in comparison, Xia Yu still prefers this kind of fully cooked beef, if it can be accompanied by a bowl of rice, it will be perfect.
Continue to chew slowly, close your eyes and savor it, and eat it is called an input.
When he put the last piece of beef in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it carefully, he opened his eyes, and suddenly found a person standing in front of him, a woman in a white chef's suit.
He looks like he is in his thirties, although his skin is smooth and delicate, and he is well maintained, but the temperament of a mature woman is not enough to hide, and the wide chef's uniform can't hide his rich figure, his hair is coiled behind his head, and he looks very neat and neat with an apple wood insert, and he is looking at him with a curious face at this time.
Seeing Xia Yu open her eyes, the woman showed a hint of a smile.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but is my husband still satisfied with the dishes at this restaurant?"
Xia Yu nodded sincerely, "Very satisfied, very delicious." ”
"I noticed that the way he eats is very 'unique' and very dedicated, so I wondered, is he a food critic?"
Xia Yu secretly laughed in his heart, "Of course not, but I can feel that the makers of this steak are very attentive, this is a food with a soul, every taste and color of it is the crystallization of the chef's skills, so only by tasting it carefully and appreciating it slowly can we truly understand the meaning of this food." ”
The female chef was quite moved when she heard this, "Wow, food with a soul!" It's the first time I've heard someone say that about my food, my name is Chu Sisi, and I'm the owner and chef of this restaurant. He held out his hand.
"My name is Xia Yu." Xia Yu shook hands with her, thinking that the other party was just here to say hello, but who knew that this woman's personality was very jumpy, and she sat down directly on the opposite side.
"What does Mr. Xia do?"
"I just recently finished my previous business and am on a vacation for a while, and I am ready to start a new business in a few days."
Chu Sisi nodded, "What does Mr. Xia say about my Tomahawk Steak?" Are there any shortcomings? ”
"Tender and juicy, the aroma of the fruit wood is very strong, very perfect - but I have to say that there is any shortcoming, your tomahawk steak is too big, it tastes very fragrant at the beginning, but when it comes to the back, it is actually a little tired, if it is split and sold in half and half portions, and then it is perfect with a bowl of rice, and the price can also be lowered a little, so that more people can accept it."
Chu Sisi was a little stunned when he heard this, steak with rice, are you sure you're not here to be funny?
Seeing that Chu Sisi didn't think so, Xia Yu was not surprised, he was still a layman after all, just a few casual words based on feelings, there was no psychological pressure, and there were not many scruples when it came to it, "I think you have misunderstood the eating habits of Easterners and Westerners, Westerners are used to eating meat, and Easterners are still more accustomed to the combination of meat and vegetables, the combination of staple food and non-staple food, at least I eat a whole Tomahawk steak at a time is a little greasy."
Just like Chinese food will be localized in the West, Western food will not be localized in China, but of course this is just my personal opinion. ”
Chu Sisi listened, with a contemplative look on his face, and seemed to hesitate a little.
Xia Yu didn't care so much, "I don't know much about food, I've been busy with work in the past, and recently I plan to take advantage of the rest to enjoy it and eat some delicious food around, you have so much research on food, I don't know if you have any recommendations?" I mean, except for your family. ”
That Chu Sisi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You sit in my restaurant and let me recommend you dishes from other restaurants?" Don't you think that's rude? ”
"Uh, I'm sorry."
"Haha, tease you." Chu Sisi smiled very girlishly, and was a little naughty and cute, "Food is all-encompassing, I don't dare to say that it is very researched, although I have worked hard to research, but I have only studied a little fur, but I have eaten too much, and I still have some right to speak, first ask, do you want to eat Western food or Chinese food?" ”
"It's delicious anyway, what's the difference?"
"This is a big difference, Chinese food is about the cause of will, impermanence, water impermanence, according to different diners, different conditions, to make different delicious, so Chinese food recipes are often very abstract, a little, the right amount, even if there are measure words are a spoon or two spoonfuls, as for how big a spoon, no one tells you.
Therefore, the same dish can be made by different chefs.
Western food is completely different, for each dish, the cooking time is accurate to the second, marinate for a few minutes, bake for a few minutes, and put a number of grams of salt, completely according to the plan, and the best chef is the one who can make food exactly according to the recipe.
Take this tomahawk steak as an example, I spent a lot of money to get the recipe, and the same recipe, as long as it can be made with complete precision, the taste will not be too bad.
So Westerners often have some ancestral recipe recipe or something, because it is really delicious to make it from a recipe.
Therefore, as long as the Western food has a certain level, the taste will not be too bad, and it is very suitable for promotion, just follow the recipe, but it also has high requirements for the ingredients, and the quality of the ingredients often determines the final product, so the delicious Western food must be very expensive, and the most important position in the Western restaurant is not the chef but the buyer.
In contrast, the quality of the finished Chinese food is often related to the style of the chef, excellent chefs can turn decay into magic, and ordinary ingredients can also make the ultimate delicious, the same dish, each chef may have subtle differences, the recipe is often public, but the average person is not as delicious as the master made.
I used to want to learn Chinese food, but my dad said that I was not spiritual enough, so it was better to cook Western food. ”
Xia Yuxin said that he didn't expect to be so exquisite, but we are not afraid of this, just copy it after eating it.
"I'm also an expert when I hear you say that, I'm used to eating both Chinese and Western food, can you recommend a few more?"
Chu Sisi nodded, "There is a 'Zongwei' in Suzhou, there is an authentic Buddha jumping over the wall to sell, and the price is not expensive, only more than a thousand copies."
Jinling's 'Six Dynasties Ancient Flavor', the crab roe fried rice sold is very good.
For the restaurant in Magic City, I recommend the truffle steak at Millen Court, if conditions allow, be sure to choose white truffles, but not necessarily, you may need to book in advance.
But if I want to say that my favorite is the cheese baked lobster at Monterey Seafood Restaurant, I used to eat it when I was in the United States, but it was too high in calories and I don't dare to eat it now. ”
As he spoke, he pinched his plump arm, with a sad face.
Xia Yu drooled when he heard it, and even the tomahawk steak in front of him was not fragrant.
No, I'll have to try it when I go back.
After chatting for a while, he left, and added WeChat accounts to each other before leaving.
When he returned home, he turned on the computer to check the prices of the dishes in these restaurants, and was suddenly shocked, this price is really expensive enough, I originally thought that Tomahawk steak was expensive enough, and the recommended ones are more expensive than the other, often hundreds or thousands, in contrast, the price of Texas style is close to the people.
Why don't you find a suitable place to sell steak and save enough money to study?
Just as I was thinking about it, the watch suddenly rang.
[The next game will start in 12 hours, please be prepared.] 】
It's been almost ten days? Time flies.
Fortunately, it's time for a new round of games.
