Chapter 310 Sunset Pot
After the wandering warlock tasted the plate of fried omelets, it was finally the highlight of the day.
When Malu came out of the kitchen this time, he simply hugged a rectangular tray.
There is a casserole and two plates on the tray.
Before she even got closer, the sorceress smelled the aroma of meat coming from the casserole, which made every pore on her body stretch.
But at this time, her eyes were attracted by the two plates. One of them contained vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, and konjac powder as the staple food.
The other plate contained a sunset.
Yes, that’s right, when the wandering warlock first looked at it, he did think he saw the sunset, and couldn’t help but rub his eyes.
The bright red appearance, with beautiful lines in the middle, is just as beautiful as the red-hot sunset on the horizon.
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. When paired with a white porcelain plate, they looked at least eighty-nine times like the sunset on the horizon.
Ma Lu placed the casserole on the portable cassette stove, lit the fire, and kept the boiling broth boiling. At the same time, he put the plate of vegetables in first.
"Is this... the Xiaxia Offering?"
Mr. Mao Tuan, who was originally lying on the foot mat, was also attracted by the smell of meat and jumped to the dining table.
“You are a foreigner, but you also know how to pay for the offerings?” Malu glanced at it.
Bo Xia Gong is a famous dish in the Southern Song Dynasty, recorded in Lin Hong's "Shan Jia Qing Gong".
Lin Hong traveled to Liuqu in Wuyi and visited Master Zhi. On a snowy day, he got a rabbit that no cook could control.
Make a thin batch, ferment it with wine, sauce and pepper, place it on the stove, add half a pound of water, wait for the soup to ring a cup, divide each tendon, let yourself pour the soup, cook it, and eat it. It is advisable to provide each with juice.
To translate, Lin Hong picked up a rabbit in the mountains and couldn't find a cook to cook it, so he simply marinated it himself, rinsed the rabbit meat with boiling water in the stove, dipped it in the sauce and shared it with his friends. .
Because the meat slices are turned repeatedly in the soup, the color is like clouds, so it is called "Poxia Gong".
This is also the earliest prototype of modern hotpot with testable writing, which is obviously different from the one-pot stew in the pre-Qin period.
"Well, Xiaoyan likes to watch variety shows, and I will watch them with her. There is a variety show that I have acted in." Mr. Mao Tuan recalled.
“But what’s in my pot is not rabbit meat.”
“What is that?”
“Red deer.”
"Eh?"
The wandering warlock and Mr. Mao Tuan looked at each other, and after a moment they said worriedly, "It's just a meal, there's no need to put the boss in trouble."
"You guys are here? "What do you think? It's a deer, like the sika deer," Malu said, "Our names just happen to sound the same."
"We know, we just want to play." This is a homophone." Mr. Hairball said, licking his hair.
“………”
"And the Wanxia Hotpot not only uses different meat materials than the Poxia Hotpot, but also has different cooking methods. The gravy in this pot was first fried and then boiled by Lao Wang using deer bones and spices, so the aroma is so strong." At this time, the casserole was already It started to boil again. As he spoke, Malu picked up a piece of red deer meat and put it in.
Rinse it in the pot for about 3 seconds, then pick it up and put it into the sorceress's bowl. "Here, have a taste."
"Thank you." The wandering warlock thanked him and couldn't wait to put the piece of meat into his mouth, regardless of how hot it was.
While chewing, he said, "Oh! Oh oh 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, it's strange, it's so delicious. , but why hasn’t it become popular on a large scale in this dimension?”
As soon as the sorceress tasted it, she immediately transformed into a big rooster and couldn't help but crow, and then she couldn't help but crowing for what was on the plate.
“This is because the taste of venison is difficult to control.”
Ma Lu took a small bowl for Mr. Hairball and himself, “Indeed, those you mentioned are deer. The advantages of meat are not only that, venison has less connective tissue and fat, and is rich in protein and vitamins, but the smell of venison is also stronger, which many people are not used to.
"Especially. Most of the venison in our country is a by-product of velvet antler production and is not specially cultivated for consumption, so it tastes even greater. Some chefs will use wild plum sauce to cover up the smell of venison, but doing so will also cover up the mellow flavor of the venison.
"The smell, why didn't I eat it?" the sorceress asked curiously.
Malu rinsed another piece and gave it to Mr. Hairball, "In addition to Lao Wang's special processing techniques, and because the venison I used is quite special, black-crowned red deer are different from ordinary red deer in that they do not feed on plants. ”
“Huh? ”
“Deer, like sheep, are ruminants. They have four stomachs, the largest of which is called a stomach tumor. There are many bacteria living in the stomach tumor. These bacteria break down the cellulose and carbohydrates in plants into short-chain fatty acids
“Then these short-chain fatty acids are transported throughout the body with the blood, especially in fat, where they are the highest. This is an important source of odor. ”
“There are very few plants in the plane where the black-crowned red deer are located. They feed on an insect called the flaming little ant. In addition, they also regularly eat some volcanic ores, which contain sulfur.” Elements also reduce short-chain fatty acids in their bodies. ”
After Malu finished speaking, he found that the wandering warlock looked at him blankly and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. I just think you know a lot about eating. In comparison, I just I know which convenience store has rice balls that are not that dry?”
When it came to the sore spot, the sorceress couldn’t help but have tears in her eyes.
Mr. Hairball on the side also nodded and said, "Indeed, Xiaoyan can't even tell the difference between cabbage and cabbage."
Ma Lu actually only knew how to distinguish between cabbage and cabbage. Instant noodles, but since he started collecting ingredients, he knows a lot more about them.
Some of them were local aborigines who asked for advice. In addition, they had lived together with Lao Wang for so long, and the two of them would often chat, and the most talked about topic was of course cooking.
So unknowingly, Malu also accumulated a lot of knowledge related to cooking, although now he still only knows how to make instant noodles.
The water vapor that evaporates after the casserole is heated floats in the room. Combined with the cold wind blowing outside the window, people can't help but move their index fingers.
Ma Lu specially asked Lao Wang to make a large portion. The two of them and the cat were sweating profusely after eating.
At the end, the meal ends with a representative winter delicacy - roasted sweet potatoes.
However, Lao Wang's roasted sweet potatoes are still a little different from ordinary roasted sweet potatoes. His roasted sweet potatoes are only half the size of a palm, and the outer skin is made of roasted and crispy sweet potato slices, imitating the appearance of sweet potatoes.
It is also colored with syrup, which looks very realistic, and is filled with sweet potato puree and cheese.
The sorceress was already full, but she couldn't hold back after finishing one meal and ate another one.
