Chapter 71 Banquet and Inspiration
"Hey~ It's a pity that I didn't taste that kind of bean paste."
Sitting in the living room, Qi Xiaoyu spoke with some regret, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, didn't Qin Lang say that Doubanjiang will be fine in a week?"
"Calculating the time, he should have finished the municipal cooking competition by then."
"When he gets good grades and treats us to a meal, will we be able to taste the bean paste?"
"I agree." Zhao Chen nodded seriously.
Based on the intuition of a middle school boy, he was convinced that the thing called Doubanjiang might be the secret weapon prepared by Qin Lang.
You have to find an opportunity to try this.
"You two..." Du Weiwei looked at the two of them with a strange look on her face.
After a moment, she shook her head and sighed, "Okay, but next time you come to visit, you must bring a gift, otherwise it will be very rude."
"Hey, I'm in a hurry today..." Qi Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue.
When she saw Du Weiwei coming with a gift, she realized that she was too careless.
Fortunately, Qin Lang didn't mind.
"By the way Weiwei." Thinking of something, Qi Xiaoyu took Du Weiwei's hand, "Are you still busy practicing that dish these two days?"
As a best friend, Qi Xiaoyu still knows about Du Weiwei's matter.
"Yeah." Du Weiwei nodded, "Maybe I'm not very talented in cooking. I've been practicing for almost a month, but I haven't made much progress."
"But..." Her voice changed, and there was a different look in her eyes, "Now I have some new inspiration."
After tasting various sauces made by Qin Lang, Du Weiwei had a new understanding of seasonings.
In the past, she focused all her attention on the ingredients and neglected the seasonings.
Now from a different perspective, some questions that were originally unfathomable seem to have answers.
After going back and adding these new ideas to her cooking, maybe she can succeed this time?
Thinking of this, Du Weiwei looked in the direction of the kitchen and pursed her lips slightly.
Qin Lang gave her new inspiration, and she didn't want to owe him any favors.
Keeping this in mind, Du Weiwei looked back and continued chatting with Qi Xiaoyu and Zhao Chen.
A moment later, Qin Lang's voice came from the kitchen.
"dinner time!"
The three people's chat came to an abrupt end.
Smelling the mixed aroma of various delicacies that had spread from the kitchen to the living room, they were already a little unable to contain their greed.
Soon, everyone brought the cooked dishes to the dining room.
Because there were four people and four cute food spirits eating together, Qin Lang prepared a lot of dishes.
Six meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes and one soup filled the entire dining table.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Xiaoyu stopped Zhao Chen who was about to stretch out his chopsticks, and took out his mobile phone with a smile, "How can we not take a photo of such a great dish and send it to our friends?"
"Crack, click, click!"
After taking pictures from various angles, she put away her phone, clasped her hands together and patted it, "Let's eat!"
The four people, who were already hungry, started immediately.
Zhao Chen picked up a large piece of pork belly wrapped in glutinous rice flour that he had long admired, and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
The next moment, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
This meat…
The glutinous rice flour on the surface fully absorbs the meat juice inside, and there is no lack of salty and delicious taste in the soft glutinous rice.
The fatty part of the pork belly melts in your mouth without feeling greasy at all.
The lean meat part is not thick either. It separates along the texture of the meat with just a slight sip. It turns into shredded meat during the chewing process and is mixed with glutinous rice flour and fatty meat, giving it a wonderful taste.
"What's the name of this dish?" He asked curiously as he took two bites of rice and gave a chopstick to the salivating Yangyang beside him.
"That's steamed rice noodles."
"What about this?" Qi Xiaoyu on the other side pointed at the dish he just tasted with his chopsticks, with the same curiosity on his face.
"Oyster sauce lettuce."
Du Weiwei, who was sitting on the other side, did not speak. She was still immersed in the new food surprise, and looked at the pot meat on the chopsticks that had been bitten in surprise.
Crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, coupled with the wonderful sweet and sour sauce, this dish gave Du Weiwei a new food experience that she had never had before.
Delicious…
She couldn't help but eat the remaining half of the pot meat on her chopsticks, took a mouthful of rice, and allowed the soft and glutinous rice to blend with the remaining taste between her lips and teeth during the chewing process, releasing a trace of rice. Sweet and fragrant.
"What's this dish?" She couldn't help but speak softly.
"This is pot-wrapped pork." Qin Lang replied with a smile.
Pot bun meat?…
Du Weiwei nodded slightly.
It was a dish that impressed her deeply.
Du Weiwei put down her bowl and chopsticks, filled a bowl of soup that was placed in the center of the dining table, and savored it carefully.
The white radish cut into chunks has been cooked thoroughly. The chunks are distinct, but they seem to melt when you take a sip. The exquisite control of the heat is amazing, and the full and absorbed umami flavor makes the simple radish become indescribable. Average food.
The pieces of pork ribs selected from the ribs can be separated easily, and the soft meat is not sticky in the mouth.
After tasting the ingredients in the soup, she took another sip of the soup. The combination of all the essence and delicious taste made Du Weiwei's eyes instantly light up.
The most common Cantonese soup, radish and pork ribs soup, completely won her over.
"This is radish and pork ribs soup." Qin Lang already took the initiative to introduce it without Du Weiwei asking, and then he pointed to the dish Qi Xiaoyu was tasting, "This is the hot waist."
"So this is called a hot waist flower."
Qi Xiaoyu clicked her tongue and couldn't help but pick up another piece of waist flower that was cut like a flower.
Each knife pattern on the waist flower is kept at a distance that is invisible to the naked eye, and even the depth of the cut is almost exactly the same. With such extreme knife skills, this hot waist flower is not only more flavorful, but also greatly improved in ornamental value. .
After watching it for a moment, Qi Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaimed
"Qin Lang, your knife skills are so good!" She couldn't help showing a bit of surprise, "This is the first time I've seen dishes with such good knife skills!"
"This can only be regarded as the basics." Qin Lang shook his head slightly, "The dish that truly tests your knife skills must at least be like Wensi Tofu."
"Wensi Tofu?"
Du Weiwei, Qi Xiaoyu and Zhao Chen all looked at Qin Lang with curious expressions.
None of the three of them had heard of such a dish.
"Wensi Tofu is a very unique soup dish. It requires cutting the tofu into hair-thick pieces, adding shredded vegetables and..." Qin Lang introduced simply, but as he spoke, his voice became lower and lower.
The ingredients needed for Wensi Tofu flashed through his mind one by one.
These ingredients correspond one-to-one with the ingredients in the No. 97 ingredient library.
Qin Lang's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He was thinking about using beef brisket, chicken legs and pork shank as the main ingredients, but he actually forgot about such a king!
