[Comprehensive British and American] The owner is not good

"Boom!"

With a dull sound, Dana opened the mouth of the jar, and the bluish-black sauce gave off a strong aroma, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.

Dana's sauce is different from the soybeans used in general sauces, but it is made from coriander beans.So the color is naturally different, not the red of Pixian bean paste, but the fermented blue-black mold pattern similar to cheese.

The man leaned over to the mouth of the altar and sniffed it, and his tone was a little disappointed: "Is it really not cooked?" The color of the sauce that is really fully cooked should be a light cyan and a red that is almost so rich that it turns black.The spiciness of spices and fermented fusion makes the mouth water.

It's a pity that the bean paste in the altar is still blue-black and even a little bit of red can't be seen.

Returning to the old business is not as easy as Dana imagined. The most painful thing is the problem of ingredients. If you are lucky, you can find substitutes for some ingredients, but if you are not lucky, you can only cook some ingredients yourself.

Bean paste is a typical example.No one in Europe knows it, or even heard of it, except for a few old people in Chinatown who know a little bit, but all they know are Tujia bean paste, and the taste is not up to the standard.No way, I can only make it myself. The fragrant beans needed for bean paste have long been covered up in the years and are nowhere to be found.

Dana was unwilling to give up, so he could only slowly look for alternatives. The broad beans produced in a small town in mainland England caught his eyes.

The crisp and water-rich quality is completely different from the texture of the cougar beans he encountered in his previous life. The texture of cougar beans is more dry and hard, and the taste is more intense.Therefore, when making the sauce, it is necessary to cook the coriander beans in advance to allow them to fully absorb water and evaporate some impurities.

Of course, this step can be completely omitted when making broad beans, but there is an extra step that needs to be dried.

To make sauce, you need to make the sauce embryo first. Appropriate moisture and a certain temperature will make the beans turn into soft and waxy bean paste. After a series of fermentation, the initial light yellow will turn into brownish yellow, and then knead into square sauce embryos. , suspended in a dry place with a suitable temperature for fermentation.

After the fermentation is complete, it is poured into a fully sterilized jar that was washed and dried in the first place, and various secret seasonings are added, which finally becomes the small jar sauce in Dana's hands.

But after taking out everything, regardless of whether he is ripe or not, Dana weighed the blue and white porcelain altar in his hand, dug out a piece with the matching porcelain and threw it into the pot, as if he felt that something was not enough, he Frowning and looking around, his eyes stayed on the glass bottle filled with transparent liquid on the table not far away.

"Pfft!"

The hot smell of oil smoke evaporates instantly, the strong aroma of wine and the light sauce are perfectly combined, the snow-white tofu is cut into pieces, and Dana pours the clear liquid into the pot. The color gradually turns into an appetizing red, making people salivate in the air.

Dana moved his nose, and his gray-blue eyes flashed with satisfaction. It was obvious that he was in a good mood about the fact that the immature soybean paste was saved by whiskey.

Whiskey is the first kind of alcohol Dana has accepted since his rebirth. 80% of the malt ingredients give the whiskey a light sweetness that other types do not have, but the choking feeling like fire proves that it is definitely not a sweet lady's wine .

Most importantly, men find that this wine is a perfect match for spicy dishes.In short, as a chef, Dana has a good impression of this wine.

outside.

Most of the tables and chairs in the store are made of wood, the light red filaments are mixed in the snow-white wood grain, the light blue silk is cut into the shape of petals and spread on the wooden table, and the one near the door curtain has a strong antique atmosphere The bar was not forgotten, and the various liquors that were both decorations and commodities were also covered with silk one by one.

"York, this restaurant is really romantic!" While waiting for the food to be served, the teenagers patiently observed their surroundings, and one of the girls said in surprise.Chinese restaurants are often associated with greasy, spicy and poor hygiene in the impression of Londoners.This is why they are not popular.

In addition to not meeting the tastes of most people, what is more important is the unbearable environmental problems for the latter who are cleanliness and self-proclaimed gentlemen.

To Mary's surprise, this restaurant not only does not have a nasty greasy smell, but instead has a faint and indescribable fragrance, a bit like the smell of wood, which will not let people's sense of smell be overwhelmed during the next meal, and relax the senses properly.

Clean, clear, like the atmosphere of mountain spring water is the first impression of this restaurant.

York was a little disapproving of the female companion's question: "Oh, Mary, this is not sentimental. Believe me, you would never bring your lover to this restaurant."

"It won't interest him!" Another boy took up the topic and winked at Mary, "In two senses." That's right!Although Mary was a little angry at the two people's objections, she understood very well.The atmosphere of the restaurant is indeed a bit cold for couples who need romance.

For example, when a couple secretly came to a restaurant to have a meal, they were about to exchange a warm and ambiguous kiss, and suddenly found a cold breath rushing through your mind instantly, what is ambiguous, kissing, what is miscellaneous in an instant His thoughts were thrown to the sky immediately.

"I think you're right, James," Mary recalled the picture in her mind, although she didn't have a boyfriend now, but that kind of situation didn't need to be experienced to understand.

"But this place is suitable for delicious food, in the real sense!" It was Mi Ke who spoke, and she was also the first girl in the group who fell in love with Tom Riddle.

Mi Ke first took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.This is the most satisfying thing about this restaurant. There is no greasiness in the air that makes people vomit, and there is only fresh air and a faint smell of food, which is very appetizing.

"But what kind of smell is it? It smells so good!" Mi Ke moved her gaze to the direction of the kitchen, where she felt the smell came from.

"Chili, I'm sure there is chili, but damn, the smell makes my stomach growl, I hope that waiter can hurry up." Mary is not a girl who doesn't understand anything, the British rarely eat their local food , more food from other countries. Generally, as long as the business is particularly good in London, there is no doubt that it is definitely not British food! !

Chili is not used very much in European cuisine, except for chefs who need to cook some sweet and spicy dishes, Asian cuisine is the most used. In addition to the iconic Sichuan cuisine in China, Thai cuisine is more famous.

It was from Thai cuisine that Mi Ke experienced the taste of chili for the first time.

The guests here were waiting impatiently, and the kitchen on the other side was almost done.

Dana carefully stacked the mapo tofu in the pot on a small plate. There were only three pieces in one plate. The hot red sauce was very viscous, covering the surface of the tofu.

Next to the plate is the same porcelain white bowl, inside is emerald green loofah, golden egg flower, and a little bit of oil star.After the preparations were completed, the man stretched out his hand and gently shook the thin wire on the left hand side, followed by a crisp bell, and suddenly there was another person at the door along with the bell.

"One day I'll be squeezed to death by you!" Tom Riddle, who had just finished a stage of training, was sweating profusely. Although he was very tired, he still rushed over after hearing the bell.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw a leisurely person looking at him with a creepy smile, so he could only grit his teeth and say.

"Shut up, and deliver the food to the guests!" Dana didn't care what was being squeezed or not, and directly interrupted the other party's blurted words.What's more, in training, success does not depend on hard work. The stories in the storybook can only be stories forever, and the real craftsmanship in the family depends on the guidance of the seniors.

That is why the master leads the door ahead of the individual in practice.

Simply, Tom Riddle is also very familiar with the temper of his nominal breeder, walked up to the latter and gave him a vicious look, expressing his dissatisfaction with the interruption of his words.

Really, can this person be a little bit adult-conscious! !

"Hey, have you finished the egg drop soup?" Riddle raised his eyes and saw the egg drop soup that was on the side as a gift, and asked a little suspiciously.The name of Loofah Egg Drop Soup was taught to him by Dana. Although it is still a bit strange to say it now, it is much more authentic than others.

"Well, I just saw the loofah peeled next to the wooden box and made it." Dana has already finished all the dishes, and is now tossing the jar of sauce in his hand.

Dare to feel that this person has completely forgotten the decision he made yesterday. As for the egg drop soup, he probably made it easily.Tom Riddle could only twitch the corners of his mouth at this fact, and finally chose to keep out of sight.

The final mapo tofu is very rich in color, but it is a translucent and delicate red color. On the snow-white tofu block, the red translucent sauce wraps the surface, which looks very appetizing.

Next to the tofu is the egg drop soup. A small light white porcelain bowl contains transparent soup, verdant loofah slices, golden egg flower, and a tangy aroma. It looks no less inferior to the main course next to it.

This is the serving scene seen by boys and girls.

"Gollum!"

Seeing the fragrant dishes in front of them, the people present couldn't help swallowing, which also woke them up from their daze.

Mary is now completely thankful that she did not refuse York's invitation because of her usual prejudice, because in her memory, she has never been more excited than this fragrance.

"My God!"

The impatient Mi Ke was completely unaware of Mary's thoughts. She took the lead in using her unskilled chopsticks to reach into the plate containing Mapo tofu, and halfway made people feel a cold sweat, fearing that it might not fall off. The tofu fell on the white silk.

Others at the table also learned from the former, and those who didn't know how to use it even dragged it, and put it into their mouths anyway.Coincidentally, everyone who tasted the tofu had their eyes widened in disbelief.

The soft and firm tofu cubes explode as soon as they enter the mouth, and the rich soup creates a perfect symphony in the mouth, as if it was prepared, the sweetness at the beginning slowly disappears , but instead it is obsessively spicy.

Is this still tofu? ? ?
