Chapter 310 Sunset Pot

After the wandering warlock tasted the plate of exploding omelette, it was finally time for the highlight of the day.

This time when Malu came out of the kitchen, he simply held a rectangular tray.

There was a casserole and two plates on the tray.

Before she got close, the sorceress smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the casserole, which made every pore on her body relax.

But at this moment her eyes were attracted by the two plates, one of which was filled with vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, and konjac flour as the staple food.

The other plate contained a sunset glow.

Yes, that's right, when the wandering warlock first glanced at it, he thought he saw the sunset and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

The bright red color, with beautiful lines in the middle, is exactly as beautiful as the burning red sunset in the sky.

But when Malu placed the tray in front of her, she finally saw what was inside.

It turned out to be meat slices, which were darker in color than ordinary meat slices. Paired with the white porcelain plate, it looked at least 80% similar to the sunset in the sky.

Malu placed the casserole on the portable gas stove, lit the fire, let the boiling broth continue to boil, and put the plate of vegetables in first.

"Is this... Boxia Gong?"

Mr. Maotuan, who was originally lying on the foot mat, was also attracted by the smell of meat and jumped onto the dining table.

"How can you, a foreigner, know how to make offerings?" Malu glanced at it.

Boxiagong is a famous dish in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is recorded in Lin Hong's "Shan Jia Qing Gong".

Lin Hong traveled to Liuqu in Wuyi and visited Master Zhi. It was snowing and he caught a rabbit, but no cook could cook it.

Use thin slices, pour wine, sauce and pepper on them, place them on the stove, use half a pot of water, and when the soup boils into a cup, give each person a tendon, let them put it into the soup, cook it, and eat it, and serve them with sauce as needed.

To translate it, Lin Hong picked up a rabbit in the mountains, and couldn't find a cook to cook it, so he simply marinated it himself, boiled the rabbit meat in water from a convection stove, and shared it with his friends while dipping it in sauce.

Because the meat slices are repeatedly tossed in the soup and their color resembles clouds, it is named "Bo Xia Gong".

This is also the earliest prototype of modern hot pot that can be verified in writing, which is significantly different from the one-pot stew in the pre-Qin period.

"Well, Xiaoyan likes watching variety shows, and I will watch them with her. I have appeared in one of the variety shows." Mr. Maotuan recalled.

"But what I have in this pot is not rabbit meat."

"what is that?"

"red deer."

"Eh?"

The Wandering Warlock and Mr. Maotuan looked at each other and said worriedly after a moment, "It's just a meal, there's no need to put the boss in the pot."

"What are you thinking about? It's a red deer, just like a sika deer, a member of the deer family." Malu said, "Our names just happen to sound the same."

"We know, we just suddenly wanted to play with this pun." Mr. Maotuan said while licking his fur.

"........."

"Moreover, the sunset hotpot not only uses different meat from the sunset hotpot, but also is cooked differently. The gravy in this pot is made by Lao Wang using deer bones and spices that are first fried and then boiled, so the aroma is so rich." At this time, the casserole had begun to boil again, and Malu picked up a piece of elk meat and put it in while speaking.

After rinsing it in the pot for about 3 seconds, he took it out and put it into the sorceress's bowl. "Here, try it."

"Thank you." After thanking him, the wandering warlock couldn't wait to put the piece of meat into his mouth regardless of the scalding heat.

While chewing, he said, "Oh! Oh! This red deer meat is amazing, it feels more mellow and tender than beef and mutton, and it also has a milky aroma! Eh, that's strange, it's so delicious, but why hasn't it become popular on this plane?"

As soon as the sorceress tasted it, she immediately turned into a rooster and couldn't help crowing. Then she couldn't help but complain about the food on the plate.

"That's because the taste of venison is difficult to control."

Malu took a small bowl for Mr. Maotuan and himself, "Indeed, what you said are the advantages of venison. Not only that, venison has less connective tissue and fat, and is rich in protein and vitamins. However, the smell of venison is also stronger, which makes many people uncomfortable.

"Especially in our country, venison is mostly a byproduct of antler production, not specifically cultivated for consumption, so the taste is stronger. Some chefs will use wild plum sauce to cover up the mutton smell of venison, but doing so will also cover up the mellow flavor of venison.

"It smells like mutton. Why can't I taste it?" the sorceress asked curiously.

Malu took another piece of meat and handed it to Mr. Maotuan. "In addition to Lao Wang's special processing method, the venison I used is also special. Black-crowned elk are different from ordinary elk. They don't feed on plants."

"Ok?"

"Deer, like sheep, are ruminants with four stomachs, the largest of which is called a gastric tumor. There are many bacteria living in the gastric tumor, which break down the cellulose and carbohydrates in plants into short-chain fatty acids.

"These short-chain fatty acids are then transported throughout the body through the blood, especially in fat, where they are most abundant. This is an important source of mutton odor."

"The plane where the black-crowned elk live has very few plants. They feed on a type of insect called the fiery red ant. They also regularly gnaw on some volcanic ores. The sulfur contained in these ores can also reduce the short-chain fatty acids in their bodies."

After Malu finished speaking, he noticed that the wandering warlock was staring at him blankly, and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. I just think you know a lot about food. In comparison, I only know which convenience store's rice balls are not so dry."

Speaking of the painful points, the sorceress couldn't help but shed tears again.

Mr. Maotuan, who was standing by, nodded and said, "Indeed, Xiaoyan can't even tell the difference between cabbage and kale."

Before meeting Lao Wang, Malu only knew how to cook instant noodles, but since he started collecting ingredients, he has learned a lot more about them.

Part of it was to consult the local natives. In addition, after living with Lao Wang for such a long time, the two of them would chat from time to time, and the topic they talked about most was of course cooking.

Unknowingly, Malu has accumulated a lot of knowledge related to cooking, although now he can only cook instant noodles.

The steam rising from the heated casserole floats in the room, and the cold wind blowing outside the window makes people salivate.

Malu specially asked Lao Wang to make a large portion, and the two of them and the cat were sweating while eating.

And finally, the meal was ended with a representative winter delicacy - roasted sweet potato.

However, Lao Wang’s baked sweet potatoes are somewhat different from ordinary baked sweet potatoes. His baked sweet potatoes are only half the size of a palm, and the skin is made of crispy baked sweet potato slices, imitating the appearance of sweet potatoes.

It is also colored with syrup to make it look very realistic, and is filled with mashed sweet potatoes and cheese.

The sorceress was already full, but after finishing one, she couldn't help but eat another one.
