Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 480 Beef Tasting
Speaking of beef~ Chen Li was most familiar with it when he was a child. Probably the kind of stewed beef that would appear in cold vegetable stalls!

No way~ In Sichuan Province, the price of beef is still relatively expensive.

This cold stewed beef dish is often only available during the New Year's holidays, or when someone's family has a banquet!
The combination of marinated beef, coriander and chili oil is considered a world, right~ In fact, Chen Li didn't like to eat this kind of cold braised beef when he was a child.

This cold braised beef dish seems to be more suitable for people who are good at wine.

When Chen Li was a child, he preferred the extremely soft and rotten salty burnt rice.

So at that time, Chen Li didn't really like beef very much, except for beef jerky.

It's a pity that when he grew up, Chen Li realized that the so-called beef jerky he ate when he was a child was almost not made of real beef.

That sounds like bullshit, beef jerky. It's not made of beef. Isn't that bullshit?

In fact~ Chen Li has no evidence to prove that the beef jerky is not made of beef, he just simply feels that something is wrong.

The price is wrong!
When people buy something, most of them care about the price.

The same goods, the price is more favorable, it will naturally be more popular.

But if the price is too good~ then it's obvious that something is wrong.

So Chen Li doesn't need evidence at all, he only needs to judge based on the price~ It is estimated that more than half of the so-called beef jerky on the market are fake.

As for the so-called beef jerky that Chen Li saw on some e-commerce platforms in his previous life, he didn't even bother to look at them.

Don't look at the hype that those anchors said, but with that kind of price, Chen Li thinks about it with his toes~ he knows that those beef jerky are not reliable at all.

But at that time, there were really many people on the Internet who believed it, which made people very speechless.

But to be honest, it is estimated that many people have never eaten real beef jerky.

So even if they bought fake beef jerky, they couldn't eat it at all.

Only after you have eaten real beef jerky, you may suddenly realize that this beef jerky and beef jerky seem to be different.

But~ If we put aside the topic of "fake", Chen Li actually likes to eat that kind of packaged beef jerky.

Even when he could afford real beef jerky in his previous life, he would occasionally buy that fake beef jerky to try!

On the contrary, it was the real beef jerky that Chen Li rarely bought, mainly because it was expensive.

It's not that Chen Li can't afford it~ but that he doesn't want to eat it!

For the price of a catty of beef jerky, he might as well buy some fresh beef~ Wouldn't it be cool to make a dish of braised beef.

The combination of beef + white radish + coriander. Definitely YYDS!
Of course~ this is Chen Li's personal taste. Some people don't like white radish but carrots, some like to add potatoes in it, and some even don't like coriander.

The difference in taste~ can't be said!
And here, they are still limited to Chinese-style practices.

After all, they are all Chinese people~ Eating habits are naturally developed from childhood.

However, with the development of the economy and the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, Western food has gradually taken root in China, and some Western cooking methods have also become popular in China.

In the previous life, Chen Li ~ the first time I came into contact with real western food ~ if you don't count KFC and other foreign fast food ~ it should be around 07-08.

Chen Li couldn't remember the exact time, but it was roughly such a time anyway.

At that time, he was still working in Yanjing, and his job position changed from a waiter to a manager.

If it's Chen Li himself~ he is actually reluctant to spend a month's salary on a so-called western meal.

So. That time someone took Chen Li there.

Speaking of which, the one who took him there is still serving the dishes at the farmhouse in the ideal farm. I don’t know if the one in this life will follow the path of the previous life?

Well, okay~ Chen Li's first western meal in his previous life was indeed taken by that girl, and even the bill for that western meal was bought by that girl.

As for Chen Li's first trip to western food, his greatest feeling was that he was not full!
Especially after that night, Chen Li did some more physically demanding things, so for breakfast the next morning, Chen Li ate three bowls of tofu and six sesame seed cakes.

But apart from the point of not being full, it is actually okay to say whether the meal is good or not.

At that time, Wu Caixia had transformed into Wu Xuewei, so the restaurant she took Chen Li to was relatively high-end, and the meals she ordered were not cheap.

Although Chen Liji didn't know exactly what kind of steak he was eating at that time, he could probably remember that the steak tasted pretty good.

If I really want to talk about the shortcomings~ probably the portion is a bit small and the price is quite expensive. Anyway, after Chen Li ate one, he just had the nerve to ask for another one.

The most irritating thing is that you said that such a precious thing as steak is just a small portion, and that guy doesn't have a lot of pasta.

It is said that there is some black truffle sprinkled on it, so the price is not cheap, but Chen Li would rather not have more noodles with black truffle, at least it can fill his stomach.

But how?Although this trip to western food was not perfect, the experience for Chen Li was actually not bad.

Of course~ part of the reason for this is because of Mei's company~ and the more important reason is that he doesn't have to pay.

Don't blame Chen Li for being ignorant at that time, although he was indeed ignorant at that time.

Anyway, ever since he tasted Western food that time, Chen Li would go to taste it occasionally, although the restaurant he went to was not as high-grade as the one Wu Xuewei took him to.

This actually has a certain relationship with the background of the times!

At that time~ I don’t know if it was an Internet marketing account or some public opinion, who equated eating Western food with petty bourgeoisie and life sentiment.

At that time, many people, especially young people, became particularly yearning for that kind of petty bourgeoisie.

In fact, most of these people~ their own economic conditions are very average.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this generality that I yearn for that kind of petty bourgeois sentiment.

It's a bit funny to say, buying a bottle of red wine~eating a Western meal is related to petty bourgeoisie and sentimentality.

This is nonsense!
Obviously, one meal will cost half a month or even a whole month's income, but there are always people flocking to it.

And among those flocking to her, there was Chen Li's younger sister, Chen Xue.

Yes~ Although Chen Li thinks the steak tastes pretty good, but the high price still makes Chen Li feel a little worthless.

Chen Li himself would not go to any western restaurant unless it was necessary.

So in the previous life, Chen Li went to western restaurants most of the time because of Chen Xue, a dead girl.

But it's okay~ Although Chen Xue was yearning for the so-called petty bourgeois life at that time, this girl only caught Chen Li, an old man, to squeeze wool.

At that time, Chen Li asked her why she didn't invite her boyfriend to treat her, but the girl said righteously that her boyfriend's money was to be kept for the two of them to live in the future.

To be honest~ Chen Li was a little angry at that time, but he was also a little happy in his heart.

This joy is divided into several parts.

For example, Chen Xue only asks Chen Li to squeeze the wool, which is actually a manifestation of the relationship between the two brothers and sisters.

This is not Chen Li's cheap skin~ This is actually a feeling that only those brothers who have younger sisters can experience.

If Chen Xue was a boy, do you think Chen Li would feel this way?

If the younger brother asked the elder brother Chen Li like this, Chen Li would definitely kick him directly.

And Chen Li's other happy point is that Chen Xue squeezed his wool and didn't let her boyfriend spend money. This seems to be a manifestation of Chen Xue's understanding of housekeeping.

Cough cough~Okay!This feeling can only be felt by Chen Li, who is an older brother.

If this is in the eyes of others, Chen Li is probably a fool.

He was obviously plucked by his sister, but he still helped her speak.

It's just that others don't know~ The relationship between Chen Li and Chen Xue in the previous life is actually only average.

So at that time, Chen Li was still a little happy in the face of his sister's wool-grabbing behavior.

So occasionally, Chen Li would take Chen Xue to a western restaurant for consumption.

At that time, Chen Li's income was not bad, and the restaurant the two brothers and sisters went to was not that high-grade, and the per capita cost of a western meal was not more than [-] yuan.

Anyway, it's much more comfortable than Naluoshizi's private kitchen.

Uh~ okay!That bad private kitchen trip left a bad impression on Chen Li, so every time he thinks of similar things, Chen Li can't help but bring out that private kitchen and diss it.

So ~ to sum up, Chen Li has a certain understanding of western food ~ steak.

But not much!

Especially those really top-notch steaks, Chen Li has only eaten a limited number of times, and the quality of those steaks he ate is probably not really top-notch.

After all, those really top-notch ingredients are actually very difficult to get in touch with the class of Chenli in the previous life.

But today~ in the kitchen of Chen Liyanjing's small house, a truly top-notch ingredient is being cooked at this moment.

"Tsk~!"

"It smells so good~!"

As the player who probably ate the most steaks in the room at the moment, Su Mei was the first to express emotion.

"Well, it's okay!"

This is the opinion given by Chen Li, who looks very calm, but the premise is to ignore his swallowing action.

"Uh~!"

This is Ren Xiaobo as assistant~ No, it's Mr. Ren now.

Although Ren Xiaobo also felt that the smell was too tempting, but facing his own boss, Ren Xiaobo, who had been an assistant for many years, was very restrained.

"Gudong~!"

"Cuckoo~!"

In the corner of the kitchen, Liu Qingqing also swallowed her saliva, as for her roommate Li Xiaoying's stomach rumbled even more disappointingly.

"Gudong~!"

"No. I said brother, where did you get this beef?"

"It's too fragrant, don't you want to add anything?"

This is the voice of Deng Weimin who just returned to Beijing. It is obvious that he has been completely attracted by the fragrance.

"Don't tell me~ there's something wrong with this beef."

In the entire kitchen, the only one who was relatively normal was Chef Gong.

As the main person Chen Li invited to cook and taste today, Chef Gong is undoubtedly the calmest.

But in fact, Chef Gong's inner activities at this moment are the most abundant among all the people present.

As a famous chef, Chef Gong naturally dabbles in all kinds of precious ingredients.

Although he is best at the court cuisine of the Beijing School, but it's just a matter of frying a steak, he, Chef Gong, is naturally at his fingertips.

The reason why he is so restless at the moment is naturally because of the ingredients that Chen Li brought out today.

There is nothing strange about the ingredient itself, it's just beef ribs, and it's just naked eyes.

But even ribeye steak is nothing unusual for Chef Gong.

Although he is a Chinese chef, he has never eaten Western food. In fact, he even eats it often.

But the ribeye steak that Chen Li brought out today obviously exceeded his imagination in terms of quality.

When he saw this steak, he subconsciously thought of the A5 Wagyu from the island country that he had eaten twice.

Chef Gong has only eaten real A5 Wagyu twice.

It's not that he can't afford it, but that it's not easy to buy.

When Chef Gong saw the steak that Chen Li brought out, he immediately felt that it should be A5 Wagyu beef.

Because of the hybridity and slackness of the beef and fat, as well as the color of the muscle and fat, all tell him that this is a top steak, a real top steak.

Although I can't be sure, in fact, Chef Gong has already guessed that Chen Li got a piece of A5 wagyu from somewhere, no wonder this kid insisted on pulling himself to cook today.

Although China has not banned the import of beef from island countries in 5, the production of A[-] quality wagyu beef is not very high even in island countries, so it is actually difficult to buy in China.

Wagyu in the island country are divided into five grades according to the standard, from low to high and divided into A1-A5.

But in fact, A4-A5 level wagyu cattle are rarely sent abroad, and they can't digest that amount of output by themselves.

Not to mention A4 and A5, even if the real Wagyu is A3, not many go abroad.

Generally, almost all the wagyu beef that is exported is A1 and A2. If you want to eat real A5 wagyu, the best way is to go to the island country to eat it.

The so-called A5 Wagyu in China in the previous life were basically Australian Wagyu. The two are the same thing, but they are not the same thing.

Australian Wagyu and Island Country Wagyu belong to the same breed, but there are differences in both breeding and marketing methods.

But in general, whether it is Australian Wagyu or island country Wagyu, they are all top-quality beef in beef.

In addition, Chef Gong has also seen A5 Wagyu from the island country twice, so he came up with this idea.

But~ when he actually started doing it, he suddenly felt something was wrong.because.
"My boy, where did you get this beef?"

"This fragrance... is even stronger than the A5 Wagyu in the island country!"

"I'll taste it first~ I'll taste it first. Don't worry!"

"I'll give you a taste first."

While talking ~ Chef Gong couldn't wait to grab the kitchen knife on the chopping board and cut a piece of the freshly cooked rib eye steak.

Because it is naked eye, Chef Gong only fried it to less than medium rare. It is said that the best way to eat naked eye is medium rare.

But this level is actually a bit difficult for most Chinese people to accept, so although there is a slight loss of about five points, it is easier for these people present today to accept.

But even if it is close to medium rare, when Chef Gong cuts it, the inside of the beef is still tender red, and even under the squeeze, there seems to be a pink "gravy" oozing out.

"Well!"

Chef Gong stuffed the cut ribeye steak into his mouth, chewed it twice, and was stunned!
then
"Fuck~ this meat"

"This meat...!"
