Chapter 88 The Secret Biography of Mutton Soup

   was stunned for a while, Xu Guangling rolled the mouse again in disbelief, and turned to the third menu.

   He still can't believe that every menu is so simple!

   The third menu is a dish that Xu Guangling is very familiar with, more familiar than the first two. The first two, whether it is braised pork or stewed trotters, well, the trotters should be similar, but they are actually very common dishes.

   But this is not surprising, even a royal chef can't make weird dishes every day.

   And the higher the level of chefs, such as the so-called imperial chefs, the dishes they are best at are probably the simplest and most frequently cooked, which makes sense. Xu Guangling guessed for no reason at this time, maybe a certain royal chef is best at hodgepodge dishes!

   The most common and most common kind of hodgepodge in Northeast China!

   Those messy and fancy dishes may be used for formal banquets or even large banquets, but most of those things are just for "seeing", they can be on the table, but they can't get into the stomach. - Of course, the taste can't be too bad, and the basic deliciousness can usually still be achieved.

   But compared with the "old-fashioned" style of real high-level cooking with heart, it is actually incomparable.

  Returning to the basics, this should be the most basic requirement for practitioners in every industry after reaching the advanced level, just like Xu Guangling’s own understanding of chess now.

But in fact, his chess level should be between the master and the quasi-master now. The experience in his dream gave him a high starting point and made him basically integrate it, but he still lacks in self-perception. After the fire, it needs to be further honed, and he really understands the "core essence" on the chessboard just like he understands Taijiquan.

   In fact, on the chessboard, he has not yet grasped that thing.

   Therefore, Xu Guangling knew that he still had a lot of room for improvement in this project.

   Go back to the menu.

  This third dish is "Lamb Soup".

   The first two, whether it is braised pork or stewed pig trotters, although common, Xu Guangling has also eaten them, but the number of times he eats them is extremely limited! The reason is that he doesn't really like to eat, and he can only say that he doesn't hate it, but he can't talk about liking it.

   is the general kind.

   But the mutton steamed buns are different.

  When Xu Guangling ate it, he fell in love at first sight when he was in the Northland. He liked it very much.

   During that time, he ate a lot of dishes related to "sheep", such as roast whole lamb, roast lamb chops, mutton soup, lamb chops, roast lamb stick bones, mutton steamed buns, and mutton skewers, etc.

Roast whole lamb is to use the little sheep raised by the herdsmen that have not yet passed the winter. After processing, the whole lamb is skewered on the rack, and the bottom is slowly grilled with smokeless charcoal. While brushing with oil and various seasonings, use knives and scissors to break open the lamb from the outside to the inside, allowing the oil and seasonings to penetrate little by little, until the skin becomes crispy, and the whole lamb also becomes Brown the whole body, then remove the cooked outer layer.

Especially the "chunk of meat" that has been cut open with a knife, fork a piece, a big piece, and put it in your mouth. It is crispy on three sides and tender on the other side. The slightly scalding oil and seasonings, after being lightly clicked in the mouth, are chewed up like ice slag, and then mixed with the tender but fully cooked mutton inside, filling the entire mouth. , also exploded.

  Is it delicious?

good to eat!

   Really delicious!

   The same is true for several other items, such as the most common and seems to be the most common haggis. In the north, many streets and alleys have such haggis restaurants.

On the cold days of winter, which is unique to the North, it is usually minus 20 to 30 degrees outside. Of course, it would be better if the snow drifted. Go to a slightly famous restaurant to eat this kind of haggis, piping hot. , steaming hot, after eating, make sure the whole body feels comfortable from the inside out.

The feeling of    may be missed by northerners in the south as soon as winter arrives. Once they think of it, it may be one of the reasons for homesickness.

   The other things are mostly like this, and they have their own merits.

   But as the so-called colorful, everyone loves it. Among these diets, which are difficult to say, Xu Guangling likes mutton steamed buns the most, and the others have to be ranked back.

   This is probably also related to the restaurant where he first ate mutton steamed buns.

   In other words, that restaurant is well done and extremely tasty!

  The mutton soup was served, and he tentatively scooped a spoonful into his mouth with a spoon. At that time, Xu Guangling was immediately amazed, it was so fresh! So fragrant! In fact, it seems that it is not suitable to be separated, but should be put together, it is so delicious!

   Just that one bite made Xu Guangling greedy!

   And the whole meal, Xu Guangling was extremely satisfied.

   That day, Xu Guangling didn’t go there at the time of the meal, the restaurant was not busy at the time, and the proprietress personally came over when checking out. After hearing Xu Guangling’s involuntary admiration, the proprietress was a fly in the ointment, and it was not the best.

  The best and most authentic mutton steamed buns, still have to go to Xi'an to eat!

Later in Xi'an, Xu Guangling was taken by Mr. Jia, a small connoisseur of gourmets, with mutton steamed buns that he had eaten in two restaurants. The taste seemed to be better, but because he was preconceived, he left the deepest impression on Xu Guangling. It feels like the first restaurant in the Northland.

   Fortunately, the two in Xi'an did not disappoint Xu Guangling.

  Otherwise, the situation may be a little embarrassing, and he may feel a little disappointed.

   After that, in several other places, Xu Guangling was also a little off, but the dissatisfaction rate was very high, and one of them even let Xu Guangling have a taste and put down the bowl directly. --what!

   So no matter how good something is, it depends on people to do it.

   But at this time, behind the dish Xu Guangling liked very much and had a surprise after seeing it, the royal chef wrote two words:

   Whole sheep!

   Then there is no more!

  No more!

   "Quanyang!" This is the secret legend of a royal chef's so-called "mutton steamed bun".

Does    fool people?

no.

   Most likely not.

   A little bit arbitrary, or a little bold, or a little more objective, this "majority" can probably be removed.

The only problem with    is that he can't read 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 is a little embarrassed at the moment, even very embarrassed. Right now, he is like a ragged person who stepped into a hall with brilliant golden walls without knowing it and without the slightest preparation.

   He is not qualified to read this menu now...

   I just don’t understand it at all.

   Among them, the qualifications are not a little bit worse, but a lot, heaven and earth!

   There is trouble!

  ==

  Thanks for the support of the recommendation ticket of "Lean Cabbage". In other words, cabbage and lean meat are all ingredients for making a hodgepodge of dishes.
