Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 273 Acid and Base

[Update for leave in May]

Qin Lang didn't have to wait too long, and soon three kinds of mouth-watering delicacies with rich aroma were delivered to his hands.

Qin Lang, who deliberately didn't have lunch, felt a little hungry just by smelling the fragrance.

He stepped aside, gave up his position to others, and then tasted it silently.

The first thing to open was Qiu Dao Zhan Ning.

This is the cheapest of the three delicacies presented by Luo Xian, and its ingredients can be identified at a glance, it is saury.

At this time, when summer and autumn are changing, the saury that has entered the spawning period has a higher fat content. The meat is not likely to become dry during the cooking process, and its thick and plump meat can be displayed to the greatest extent.

This is one of the seafood abundant in the Whale State.

While recalling these in his mind, Qin Lang was also carefully observing the food in the lunch box in front of him.

Remove the head and tail, remove the main bones and internal organs, remove the side fins and dorsal fins, and remove the spines.

All the parts of the saury that are inedible or affect the taste are removed, and what remains are two plump and thick pieces of fish, which look like blades from the outside.

From this point of view, although the word "Zhan" in the name of the dish is a secondary one, it is still used quite appropriately.

The pan-fried saury has a striking burnt brown color among the gray-black skin. The crispiness is visible to the naked eye. There is a little translucent fat between the skin and the fish meat, and then the fish meat is white and tender.

A rich aroma of grilled fish hit your face the moment you opened the lunch box, with the unique flavor of saury and a hint of lemon.

This is a mouth-watering delicacy, both in appearance and taste.

Qin Lang no longer hesitated, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

"Click~"

The moment the perfectly grilled fish skin entered his mouth, he clearly heard a crisp sound through bone conduction. The crisp sound made Qin Lang's back of the head itch, and he felt a strange sense of relief.

The thick, boneless fish meat carries a strong aroma and slowly releases its own deliciousness during chewing.

The natural fruity aroma of lemon is not obtrusive or overpowering, but it seems to linger between the lips and teeth all the time and stay in every inch of the fish. It just removes the greasy taste of the grilled fish and adds a new fragrance to the grilled fish. .

After savoring it carefully, Qin Lang slowly opened his eyes.

Roasting is also not a difficult cooking method.

Under such simple cooking, Luo Xian is able to bring out the deliciousness of saury to such an extent, which is terrifying.

"Eat." Looking at the two little ones who came closer and drooled at the remaining saury in the lunch box, Qin Lang was speechless and gave the remaining fish meat to them.

For Qin Lang himself, this bite was enough for him to understand the level of cooking skills contained in this dish.

"I have a question!" While Qin Lang was feeding the two little ones, another Yu Ling chef next to him who had just tasted the delicacy of autumn sword and lemon said curiously, "Saury and lemon are some kind of fixed Does it match?"

"I've never tried this before, but the combination of the two seems to work surprisingly well."

Hearing this question, other Yuling chefs turned their attention to Luo Xian, expecting the other party to give an answer.

"In my opinion, yes." Luo Xian said with a smile, "I like to try the combination of various ingredients. Although I often make dark dishes because of this, there are also surprises occasionally."

Hearing this, good-natured laughter suddenly spread from all around.

"The combination of saury and lemon was discovered by me accidentally." Luo Xian spread his hands, "After that, I continued to study the ratio of the two, and then I came up with the saury and lemon."

Qin Lang watched for a while and then slowly said, "I know a little bit about this."

"There is an amine-type weakly alkaline substance in the fish meat of saury, which will bring a certain fishy smell." Facing the looks of others, Qin Lang said calmly, "Citric acid can neutralize it through acid and alkali. It turns into an odorless ammonium salt.”

"So that's it!"

"Now I understand."

Hearing this, the other Yuling Chefs all showed astonishment, and at the same time looked at this young man who was much younger than them with admiration.

As expected of being number one in the youth group, Luo Xian is no less popular than Luo Xian, who has so many dark horses, yet the other party actually possesses such knowledge!

"A very novel angle." Luo Xian's eyes lit up with a look of surprise, "This is the first time I have seen the mystery of ingredient combination analyzed from such an angle."

"I just happened to know." Qin Lang smiled modestly and was not complacent.

After this episode, the Yuling chefs in front of Luo Xian's stall began a new round of communication. Qin Lang listened distractedly while opening the second lunch box in his hand.

The blue gun, which cost eighty-eight yuan a piece, was fully displayed in front of him.

It was a fish bone that looked like a bent spear, with slender and sharp sides, and a column-like middle with a depression inside.

This is the backbone of a large fish.

At this moment, most of the spikes on one side of the fish's spine pierced into the sapphire-like base, like a spear piercing into the sea.

Such a strange shape made it difficult for Qin Lang to swallow it for a while.

But soon, he understood the secret of this delicacy.

In the depression in the center of the fish spine, there is a translucent sauce that looks like spinal cord. Spoon it up and smear it on the food below that looks like sapphire, but is actually similar to jelly, and you can taste it.

Although blue is the color that most suppresses appetite, the exquisite appearance of the blue gun in front of you makes people temporarily ignore this.

Unlike the previous Qiu Dao Zan Ning, Azure Spear does not have much flavor to escape.

This is a cold dish.

Qin Lang scooped up some of the jelly-like food and tasted it silently.

The jelly is very tender and smooth, and it melts in your mouth as soon as you sip it, bursting out with a strong fish flavor.

This delicious taste does not contain any fishy smell, but also has a bit of strange freshness.

It was the smell of the sauce just applied to the surface of the jelly.

The sauce looks colorless and transparent like spinal cord, but it has several fruity flavors and other seasonings mixed in, making it difficult to distinguish.

This delicious dish…

Qin Lang couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise on his face as he recalled it.

He actually couldn't tell what ingredients it used.

The same doubt appeared in the hearts of other Yuling chefs who tasted this delicacy.

"Mr. Luo Xian, what are the ingredients used in this blue spear?" One of them couldn't hold back and asked.

"The Blue Gun is made from a soup made from the backbone of bluefin tuna and the flesh of the magnificent salmon." Luo Xian did not hide anything and explained with a smile.

It turns out that two types of fish are used as ingredients, no wonder I didn't tell them apart.

Qin Lang was stunned and admired.

Both bluefin tuna and salmon are common types of seafood. Mr. Luo Xian is really amazing at combining the two to make such ingenious food.
