Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 423

Around the tomato sauce spaghetti, there is also a ring of white sauce.

Li Xiao hooked a little, white sauce with a golden fork.

An extremely strong fresh fragrance immediately exploded the taste buds on the tongue.

The aroma of garlic and the sweetness of cod come to the fore.

Use garlic oil to boil the cod, wait for the cod to fully absorb the aroma of garlic, and then take it out of the garlic oil.

The cod is minced, emulsified, and seasoned to make a dipping sauce called timi timi.

The flavor is very unique, salty and fresh, with a strong taste and strong stamina.

Li Xiao didn't mix the cod sauce into the spaghetti.

Instead, use a fork to put the isinglass of the large yellow croaker into your mouth first.

After a long time of stewing, the isinglass has become very soft and glutinous, full of collagen, and the QQ glutinous taste is perfect.

The fish maw here is also very special. This is the first time for Li Xiao to taste tomato sauce-flavored fish maw.

However, the sweet and sour fish gelatin tastes quite good, and it does not have a new flavor.

A small piece of isinglass quickly disappeared in the mouth.

The taste of spaghetti is even more special, because when cooking spaghetti.

In order to increase the umami taste of the spaghetti, the chef puts the isinglass in the pot in advance.

In this way, the surface of the spaghetti is covered with a transparent film, which is the glue of isinglass.

After heating, completely adhere to the top of the spaghetti.

However, this layer of film is very thin, if it is not in the mouth, it will not be found at all.

After cooking for a long time, a small part of the fresh fragrance of fish gelatin is also absorbed by the spaghetti, and it tastes QQ, glutinous and chewy.

However, the preparation of the spaghetti can only be regarded as good in Li Xiao's opinion.

Although the technique and heat control are quite ingenious, it is slightly inferior to the tomato sauce wrapped on it.

The sweetness and sourness of the sauce and the saltiness of the aroma are perfectly handled.

After eating so many dishes, Li Xiao also found that the other party likes to use sweet and sour flavors very much.

Of course, it could also be Miss He Ruochu who is sitting opposite, who likes sweet and sour flavors.

However, the sourness and sweetness of each dish are very suitable.

Even if it can't be said to have reached the pinnacle, it can be said to have entered the room.

The amount of spaghetti is also not much, just two forks, and the spaghetti is in the end.

However, Li Xiao felt that this portion was enough, after all, there were too many dishes.

If there are too many dishes for a single dish, it will take up space for other dishes.

After finishing the spaghetti, the young lady brought a small pot of tea.

"Hello, Jin Junmei from Wushan is the new tea this year."

Hearing Miss Sister's words, Li Xiao frowned.

You must know that it is only the end of February and the beginning of March.

That is to say, these new teas in front of you, from picking, making, to presenting.

It's not more than a month at most, he really hasn't tasted such a new tea.

Fresh Jinjun eyebrows are light golden in color, with a hint of green in the light golden, only a handful at the end will appear black.

Before brewing, the young lady even sniffed it for the two of them.

Li Xiao took the small jar of fresh Jinjunmei, and before reaching the tip of her nose, a strong scent of honey and flowers filled the tea jar.

The taste is 10 points fresh, without the stale smell unique to old tea.

Closing his eyes, Li Xiao even felt that what he saw in front of him was not the roasted tea, but a fresh tea tree.

The young lady's way of making tea is also very neat, using a very authentic phoenix nod.

The full name of phoenix nod is: phoenix three nod brewing method.

I saw a young lady in a green cheongsam holding a golden water bottle and pulling it up and down three times continuously from low to high.

The steaming boiling water also flowed out evenly from the spout.

When the water is poured into the cup, it also falls together, the movement is like a phoenix nodding, vivid and graceful.

Three ups and three downs means bowing three times to welcome the guests.

The lady in cheongsam holds the kettle close to the mouth of the teacup to fill water with her right hand, then lifts the wrist to raise the kettle, and then still presses the wrist to bring the kettle close to the mouth of the teacup to continue filling.

In this way, a high and a low will form a pressure difference in water pressure, and the water flow will form a vortex in the teapot, allowing the heat to roll the tea leaves in the teapot.

This allows the flavor of the tea to be released more thoroughly and evenly.

After repeating this three times, the cheongsam lady decisively lifted the teapot to turn off the running water.

At this time, the water in the teapot just reached the position of the bottle cap, and no drop of water overflowed when the bottle cap was closed.

The young lady's movements are sharp and crisp, not without any flaws, she is obviously a master in this way.

After a pot of Jin Junmei was nodded by the phoenix, the temperature of the tea also rose from 92 degrees to about 50 degrees.

Without waiting, Li Xiao picked up the teacup and drank it.

Although Jinjunmei is black tea, the tea soup is indeed golden yellow, and the aroma of Jinjunmei after brewing is even stronger.

Take a sip into your throat, it has a fruity sweetness.

The broth of Lapsang Souchong black tea is softer than that of ordinary Lapsang Souchong, and the aftertaste is more intoxicating, as if you have come to an orchard.

The mouth and nasal cavity are full of sweet breath.

It feels soft and mellow at the first entrance, and the cheeks will soon produce fluid, and then the sweetness will be endless.

The golden horses in front of me, which were picked before the rain, have a very light astringency and a strong sweetness.

With just one sip, the greasy feeling from eating isinglass and spaghetti disappeared in an instant.

The entire mouth immediately becomes clean and refreshed.

"Good tea."

Li Xiao couldn't help but nodded in admiration.

This fresh Jin Junmei was far better than any tea he had drunk in other five-star restaurants before.

So far, only Zhang Haoquan, who sells tea and tangerine peels, can stabilize him with the Pu'er tea that Uncle Zhang drank at his place.

He Ruochu chuckled when he heard Li Xiao's praise:
"It's not easy. After eating for so long, I only heard Mr. Li's praise now."

"It seems that this tea really suits Mr. Li's taste."

Li Xiao didn't deny it either, he nodded lightly:

"Indeed, if the highest score for the previous dish is only 90 points, then this pot of tea should be at least 99 points."

This is not Li Xiao's exaggeration, but the fact.

He Ruochu was not too surprised when he heard the score.

She turned to look at the young lady who was still making tea and said:

"Help me get a few cans of this new tea from Ah Feng, thank you."

The young lady making tea seemed to be hearing such a request for the first time, with a hesitant expression on her face:

"We have a fixed share of tea for each table, so..."

The waitress next to her saw that her colleague didn't answer immediately, so she hurried forward
She smiled and explained to He Ruochu:

"I'm very sorry. Ms. He is new here and not very sensible. I will help you to ask right away."

He Ruochu didn't show dissatisfaction because the other party didn't recognize her. She waved her hand and said softly:
"It's okay. I've been busy recently, and I've come here less often. It's normal that she doesn't recognize her."

"Go quickly, help me get as many cans as possible, and say that I want to give it to a friend."

Seeing the waitress walk away, the tea master quickly thanked in a low voice:

"Miss He, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you can continue to make your tea."

····
Before the second pot of tea was finished, the waitress came back in a hurry, carrying a small delicate bag in her hand.

Miss waitress, with a smile on her face:

"Hello, Ms. He, the head chef said that this time he took a total of five cans of new tea from his friend's place."

"One can has been opened and used, one can has been given away, and the remaining three cans are all for you."

Although he didn't know if it was true or not, Li Xiao couldn't help sighing that Miss He still had a lot of face.
