Chapter 350 Chrysanthemums in a Bamboo Basket

A sensation, that is inevitable!It’s not that no one has tried roasting a whole lamb, but it’s difficult to control the heat, and it’s also a bit wasteful. It’s rare for ordinary families to directly roast a whole lamb.Yes, such extravagance is possible only at the banquet!
Generally speaking, when it comes to roast lamb, the first thing that comes to mind is the smell of mutton.Many people would subconsciously cover their mouths and noses, but as the roasted lamb was served slowly, a strange fragrance wafted over, making more people subconsciously twitch their noses.

"Does the roasted lamb smell like this? Then what did I eat before?" Liu Ji sniffed it hard, and it smelled like a lamb, accompanied by a strange fragrance, which made people smell Addiction!
"This should have been roasted, but when it came out... it was divided and distributed on the spot?!" Liu He looked at the helpers and began to take out a kitchen knife to divide the roasted whole lamb, thinking that this in itself was a visual feast.

Wang Yong was no exception. There was one lamb that he personally supervised the roasting, and the heat was more perfect than the other roasted lambs.In fact, the food that San Gong and His Majesty ate was basically cooked by him himself. Except for the appetizers, the quality was better than other guests.

"Your Majesty, your roasted lamb..." The waiter took the roasted lamb that Wang Yong divided by himself, and then put it on a black pottery plate, and brought it to Liu Xie.The rough black pottery, loaded with roast lamb, also brings out the thick feeling of the meat.

"..." Liu Xie nodded, just looking at Wang Yong who was cutting up the mutton with great interest.Perhaps sensing Liu Xie's gaze, Wang Yong raised his head to look at her, and smiled as a response.

"What kind of seasoning is used for this mutton... The meat is tender and tender, no, there are at least three scents in it!" Liu Yao took a piece of mutton and tasted it. flavor.What are the key to the other three aromas, one of which is definitely the sauce, but what about the other two?
"It's the smell of cumin, which has only recently been used as a spice, especially with barbecued meat. Lu Bu roasted lamb once earlier, and I was lucky enough to get some at that time. That's the taste... But this last one Fragrance, what is it?" Liu He explained, but finally asked the waiter who distributed the mutton.

"It is said to be a spice called rosemary." The waiter replied.

"Have you heard of it? This spice called rosemary?" Liu He looked at Liu Yao, who shook his head.

"I didn't expect that the roasted lamb can become so sweet and delicious just by using the right spices..." Liu Yan tasted it slowly. satisfy.

"The craftsmanship is better than before." Cao Cao took a piece and tasted it carefully.It was the same roasted lamb, but there were obvious changes in last year's banquet and this year's roasted lamb.Significant progress has been made in terms of material selection, heat and seasoning!
The roast lamb is indeed delicious, the seasoning is rich, and the lamb is tender and delicious, all of which can get a lot of praise.The guests ate happily and at the same time were somewhat satisfied. The requirements for the next dish were not heavy. After all, the previous two dishes were very heavy, and the tongue wanted to rest.

"What's the next dish? Suddenly, I'm looking forward to it!" Liu Yaohe couldn't wait.

"I have to say, that Wang Yong is really talented, but if you want to say that such a dish is super, I'm afraid it's still..." Liu He admitted that Wang Yong's cooking skills are good, but at this level... Speaking of this, I naturally think of the previous ones At this time, I only felt a tingling sensation flowing through my mouth, and the tip of my tongue jumped subconsciously as if being electrocuted.

"What's the matter?" Liu Twenty looked at Liu He, and his tongue got stuck halfway through.

"It's nothing... just... Forget it, let's look forward to the next dish!" Liu He couldn't explain why he was like this just now, why he felt this way.

"The fifth course...chrysanthemum fish!" Seeing that everyone had finished eating and the roasted lamb was also leaving one after another, Wang Yong announced.

Chrysanthemum fish?What kind of fish is that?Many guests searched their brains, but they never thought of such a fish.At the same time, some people can't help but wonder, is it a fish that grew up fed chrysanthemums? !

Just because they don't know, they look forward to it even more. At this moment, they can't wait for the dishes to be served soon, so that they can experience it!The waiters lived up to expectations and began to come out from behind one after another, but what they were holding in their hands at this moment was actually a bamboo basket? !

A very small bamboo basket, the size of a sea bowl, but shallower, was brought over by the waiter holding the handle in one hand and holding the bottom in the other.Then gently, put it in front of all the guests, take advantage of the trend, and take away the pottery dish of the previous dish.

Bamboo baskets woven from emerald bamboos have a faint fragrance of bamboo and wood.The bottom of the bamboo basket is covered with a layer of white kitchen paper, which is considered chic as a decoration.On the kitchen paper, there were three chrysanthemums lying quietly. They were golden and yellow, which was pleasing to the eye, but there was a faint sour smell, which made people realize that they were not real chrysanthemums!
This is actually a chrysanthemum made by cutting the fish meat into strips, but still attached to the fish skin, and directly frying it.Chrysanthemum fish, chrysanthemum fried from fish, or chrysanthemum-shaped fish, this name is quite appropriate!

"This shape is the same as the golden silk chrysanthemum... very beautiful!" Liu Yao looked at the chrysanthemums in the basket, and she was even a little reluctant to put down her chopsticks.

"What is the sauce on top of the fish? It smells sour..." Liu He picked up a piece and sniffed it.

"It's tomato sauce, or the main ingredient is tomato sauce. Tomatoes are also a new vegetable discovered by the chef, or a species that can be both vegetables and fruits. Tomato sauce is made from tomatoes .” The waiter replied.

"It's another one I've never heard of..." Liu Nian shook his head.

"Fortunately, I know most of the things promoted by Wanshiwu, but the tomato species seems to have only been promoted in the last three months. I just didn't expect that Wang Yong could be put into practical use directly!" Liu Yao looked at the man with interest, and seemed to like him more and more, "It should be delicious, right?"

"Well, it's pleasing to the eye, it should be delicious..." Liu He didn't pay attention, thinking that Liu Yao was talking about the chrysanthemum fish.Not to mention him, at this moment Liu Nian was a little twitching his index finger.

"I really don't want to eat this stuff, it's very comfortable to look at." Liu Ye looked at it, and finally couldn't help but took a bite.

The fish meat is fried crisply, and some fish bones are also chopped during the cutting process. At the same time, they are fried crisply, which does not affect the eating.The fried chrysanthemum fish tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coupled with the sweet and sour tomato sauce, which not only satisfies the taste buds to the maximum, but also rests the tired taste buds with that sour taste.

"Obviously the same is very greasy, but when I taste it, I feel that the greasy feeling of the previous mutton and beef stew has been suppressed." Liu Bei also looked at the chrysanthemum fish on the chopsticks in disbelief. After thinking about it carefully, he thought it should be tomato sauce credit.

"That's right, it's pleasing to the eye, and the taste is also very good. Next, it should be the staple food, right?" Liu Xie put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, and she had already eaten all three chrysanthemum fish.

"What's the staple food? Steamed buns, steamed buns, or rice?" Cao Cao also asked curiously.
