Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 747 Food and wine match better

To be precise, Ma Teng should have eaten pumpkin for the first time. He was amazed by the sweet and mellow taste.The key is the deliciousness and mellowness, which is really unimaginable, especially the sticky feeling from boiled pumpkin...

"This is completely soup!" Ma Teng said with emotion.

"Indeed, pumpkins can be used as vegetables and food, and they are high-yielding. They are also eaten as food in some places. However, the pumpkin I chose this time is butter pumpkin, which has a slightly higher sweetness and a smooth (oily) feeling of cream. The shape is smaller than ordinary pumpkins." Wang Yong replied.

What is concentrated is the essence, which is probably what it means.But I have to say, the shape of the cross-section of the butternut squash is... ahem.

"Onions and chicken are added...carrots and garlic? For the spices, pepper and cardamom are added, right?" Cao Cao tasted it carefully, because it was not the first time he had eaten pumpkin, and he didn't feel so surprised, so he could evaluate it calmly .

"Indeed, sage and leeks were originally added, but because it is the previous soup, it was slightly improved. The cream that was originally added was not added, so as to maintain the natural refreshing and sticky feeling." Wang Yong replied.

Different degrees of improvement according to different needs are the most powerful skills of chefs.If it is done according to the script, then wouldn't it be a cooking machine.

"It's qualified as the previous soup, but I still feel a little bit unfinished..." Cao Cao somewhat resented. This complete version of the roasted pumpkin soup seems to be sweeter, but because it is the relationship between the previous soup, the mellowness and sweetness have declined. .

Yes, as a loyal sweetie, she protests this improvement from the bottom of her soul... no matter how appropriate it is!

"There are other dishes. It's not good to eat such mellow food now." Wang Yong smiled. "The next appetizer, I prepare New Orleans Roast Chicken..."

"New Orleans, what do you mean?" Cao Cao thought for a while, feeling very strange.

"It's a place name, the Far West, or somewhere in the Far East..." Wang Yong replied casually.At this time, the back kitchen has already served four new dishes.

The main dish is half a roast chicken, which is deboned and chopped, and then served on the table after being garnished.The roasted chicken is deliciously browned and delicious.The rare choice is that the chicken is not big, and half of it is only four or five taels of meat. It is rare that it is very tender.

"By the way, I have prepared white wine as table wine." Wang Yong added, and someone from the back kitchen brought out four glass goblets and a bowl of ice cubes at the same time .

"You can add it according to your personal preference. Ice cubes can suppress the astringency in the wine very well," Wang Yong introduced.This small glass of wine is probably enough to finish the chicken, or even less.You don't need to drink too much, because there are different drinks in the back, and he prepared different drinks according to different dishes.

"White wine is so rare!" Ma Teng guards the northwest, but wine is not often available, mainly because it is expensive.

"In cooperation with fruit farmers under the name of Wanshiwu, it seems that several wine planting bases have been opened in Liangzhou. The red and white grapes produced are all used for winemaking." Wang Yong replied, "Pure domestic white wine, please taste it. "

"Okay..." Ma Teng nodded, then picked up the wine glass, he seemed to drink it down in one gulp, but then he held back and took a sip.The wine is good, you can feel it in the mouth, the astringency and fruitiness are just right, but unfortunately it is not very strong.

But having said that... When Ma Teng picks up a piece of chicken, the first thing he feels is sweetness, sourness and spiciness, and then the tenderness and deliciousness of the chicken.This grilled chicken should use a special marinade, but the roasting technique is really very clever.The key is how to put it... It feels really comfortable to eat such a chicken and drink a sip of white wine...

I don't know why, but there is a feeling of peace of mind. Unlike the warm and unrestrained reception atmosphere, Ma Teng seems to feel another wine culture.Although not used to it, he didn't hate it.

"The tranquility from the soul...it's pretty good..." Cao Cao sipped the wine slowly.In fact, she was somewhat worried before the banquet started. Wang Yong took a heroic route. Although he catered to Ma Teng, she was not used to it.

It seemed that the other party still carried out his request, but after all, it was only the first three dishes, so there was nothing to explain.

"The third dish, charcoal-fired oysters!" Wang Yong saw that the four had finished eating, so he continued to announce.The back chef came over quickly, brought up new dishes, and then removed the old ones.At the same time, another group of people stepped forward and put down a small porcelain cup.

"As the name suggests, it is made of raw oysters, garlic and pepper, and grilled over charcoal fire. To match this dish, I prepared Dukang wine." Wang Yong said with a smile.

Low-alcohol Dukang wine, fragrant and delicious, soft and slightly sweet in the mouth.The key is to bring out the sweetness of grilled oysters well. Sometimes white wine is a good choice, but you need to be careful not to overdo it and the type of wine.

In fact, there are only five oysters, which seem to be many in the shell, but there are really not many in the sandwich.The key is that it still feels half-baked, but it's already tasty.

Ma Teng picked up an oyster, which was the first time he had seen an oyster.He touched it lightly with the tip of his tongue, and then gently took it into his mouth.A mixture of sauce and spicy taste swept over. Fortunately, he was more used to spicy taste, and Wang Yong didn't prepare too spicy, just for seasoning.

After the entrance, there is a soft feeling, and then a burst of umami taste like milk.This umami taste is not found in meat, and it has a slight fishy smell, but Ma Teng feels that the fishy smell is just right.

"Incomparably luscious, this grilled oyster is really incomparable!" Ma Teng praised kindly, this thing can never be tasted in Northwest China.I used to think that roasting this thing is basically pigs, cattle and sheep, most chickens, ducks and geese.I didn't expect that there are so many varieties that I haven't eaten, it's really hard to imagine.

To be honest, before today, he didn't care much about food, because he was more like a qualified soldier.But after today, he found that his understanding of food was still too superficial.

He took a sip from his glass, because the oysters took the flavor out of the white wine so he could actually taste the wine.In fact, it was Dukang. He drank it before, but after drinking it, he found that it was different from the Dukang he drank before.

"The taste is much better and more mellow. It enters the body like a clear stream, but after it settles, you can feel the temperature contained in it." Ma Teng felt the feeling this glass of wine brought to him, it was amazing, obviously he still drank it Why is there such a big difference in the old Dukang wine?

Then he understood that it was the oysters that sublimated the taste of the wine.Unexpectedly, different dishes and different wines can not only make the dishes more delicious, but also make the wine more delicious!

"I used to be too superficial..." Ma Teng said with emotion, "I am suddenly looking forward to what dishes will come next. I believe the chef will not let me down..."

"Of course!" Wang Yong smiled, and his goal seemed to have been achieved.
