Chapter 67 Spices
The four of them didn't stay outside for too long, so they went back to Liao's private kitchen to cook.The three of Liao Lili went to the kitchen as soon as they returned to help Liao Aiguo process the ingredients.

Jiang Yang naturally didn't go in, although he felt that others were busy, and he was embarrassed to watch from the sidelines.But Liao Lili made it very clear before that Jiang Yang naturally wouldn't put a hot face on a cold butt.

"Come here, Jiang Yang." Elder Liao called from the side.Jiang Yang walked over, and Elder Liao asked, "How was your chat this morning?"

"Very good." Jiang Yang replied.Elder Liao nodded in satisfaction and didn't continue to ask.At this moment, Jiang Yang also understood in his heart that what Liao Lili said had something to do with Mr. Liao.Of course, as long as you know it in your heart, Jiang Yang didn't say it.

"I'm here to talk to you about spices. If you want to learn it, you have to understand it first. Do you know how many spices there are?" Elder Liao asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Yang answered honestly.

"Actually, I don't know. After studying spices for a lifetime, I don't know how many kinds of spices there are. The water of this spice is too deep." Liao Lao said with emotion.

Jiang Yang's heart was full of turmoil. He didn't know it was true, but he thought there were more than a dozen kinds of spices, but Mr. Liao said he didn't know either.Mr. Liao is not a simple master of Sichuan cuisine. He has made outstanding contributions to the research and discovery of spices.These are all the information Jiang Yang searched on the Internet.

"Don't be surprised, old man, I'm also a human being, so it's normal not to know. Don't you know many people like Einstein, Newton, Da Vinci, and Galileo?" Elder Liao laughed.

Jiang Yang looked at Old Liao in surprise, a little strange.

"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes. Anyway, I'm also from a scholarly family, and I have studied abroad. It's nothing strange to know that." Old Liao said.Immediately he sighed and said, "It's a pity for Li Li, but I hope he can go to university well."

Jiang Yang kept his mouth shut. It's better not to ask about other people's family affairs.

"There are too many unknowns in the field of spices. I hope you can explore them when you have the ability in the future." Liao Lao said.

"I will." Jiang Yang nodded firmly. He found that there are still unknown areas in the culinary art world waiting to be explored.

"Well, let me talk about what spices are. As the saying goes, color, aroma, and taste, among which aroma refers to spices. The understanding of spices should not be too one-sided, thinking that spices are star anise, fennel, bay leaves, cinnamon, etc. this is not right.

Spices Spices refer to smells, and anything that has a smell can be considered a spice.For example, pepper, although it is a seasoning, can also be regarded as a spice.There are also vinegar, soy sauce, etc., which can be considered as spices, and even the ingredients can be considered as spices.If you can't understand this point and just think that spices are those things like star anise and fennel, then you will never be considered a spice master.

In ancient times, before chefs learned how to use spices, the aroma at that time was achieved by the unique taste of some condiments and ingredients.Therefore, the view of spices must not be too one-sided, but should be viewed from a more comprehensive perspective.

If seasoning is the enjoyment of the sense of taste, then spices are the enjoyment of the sense of smell.Anything that can bring taste pleasure can be considered a spice.Is the smell of stinky tofu a kind of spice?In fact, it counts, so spices are not just incense. "

Jiang Yang nodded blankly. To him, Mr. Liao's words contained a lot of information.The spices he thought at first were star anise and fennel, not only him, I believe that most people think so.But at this moment, Mr. Liao told him that there are many spices, and even ingredients can be considered spices.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang is still strong in his heart. After all, he has encountered such things as the system, so this bit of information is still acceptable.

Old Liao slowed down for a while, also to give Jiang Yang some time to accept.Seeing that Jiang Yang seemed to be slowing down, Lao Liao continued: "The combination of spices is ever-changing. Because there are too many types of spices, their complexity is more difficult than that of seasoning. I won't teach you the combination of spices for the time being. The first thing to do is one word ——Smell. This method is simple and rude, but it can also be said step by step. The first thing you need to smell is the spice itself. You are not required to smell all the spices. In fact, this is impossible. You only need to smell the common Smell some of the spices and remember their taste. I will smell the dishes later, now go to the kitchen to smell."

After Mr. Liao finished speaking, he took Jiang Yang to the kitchen.Open a few drawers, inside is like a traditional Chinese medicine room, with small grids one by one, each with different spices.

Jiang Yang didn't speak. He picked up the spice and walked aside to smell it. The reason why he walked aside was because there were too many spices, and he couldn't smell it clearly.

When Mr. Liao saw this, he ignored him and went to teach Liao Aiguo how to cook.

In the evening, Jiang Yang returned home.After smelling it for a long time, he felt that his nose was filled with the smell of spices, and he was almost smothered to death.

Back in the store, Jiang Yang prepared things for opening the door at night.

After a few days, the business of Jiangyang's small shop is getting better and better.The people who came were all young people. When the business was good, there was not enough room in the Jiangyang store.

Jiang Yang couldn't help feeling that opening a shop in the daytime was exhausting and exhausting, but it was not as good as opening a shop casually at night. He really wanted to plant flowers without blooming, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade!

Business is still going well tonight. A young man walked in and said, "Boss, a barbecue platter, a glass of wine, and another order of fried potatoes."

"Okay." Jiang Yang, who had already changed his clothes, said with a smile.

The young man is very happy today, fortunately he came early, otherwise there would be nothing left.

Regarding the restaurant in Jiangyang, there is a saying gradually among these diners who like to eat late at night.The owner of this shop is very capricious. There are only so many things in a day, and if you go late, they will be gone.But the food is really delicious, not to mention the barbecue, the milk tea and cocktails are really delicious.

Such rumors gradually spread, causing diners to come as soon as Jiang Yang opened the door, and the ingredients prepared in advance were sold out in a short time.

Some diners also advised Jiang Yang to prepare more ingredients, but Jiang Yang did not agree. It is not easy for him to study during the day, and he does not want to be too tired at night.So I still go my own way, but I didn't expect that this approach made the small shop more and more popular.

Of course, it was only a small-scale fire, but after time fermented, I believe that one day it would really catch fire.

Jiang Yang didn't know this, he spent too little time taking care of the small shop, so he didn't pay attention to it.

As in the past few days, the food sold out quickly.Jiang Yang was about to close the door, but many people came one after another. When they heard that Jiang Yang had nothing to eat here, they ordered a glass of wine and sat down to drink.

Jiang Yang is helpless, he can't drive others out.He was also a little worried, in this way, could it be that his place is going to become a tavern?

However, the reminder of the sense of happiness dispelled Jiang Yang's worries. It is important to have a sense of happiness in a tavern or something.

It was not until 12 o'clock in the evening that Jiang Yang saw off the last guest.He hurriedly closed the door, and after washing up, Jiang Yang fell asleep.
