Chapter 182

Regardless of Huajiujiu's doubts, Nangong Yu said to himself: "I think this catfish stewed eggplant is very good. The fish and eggplant are paired together. The eggplant blends in the aroma of catfish, and the catfish has the taste of eggplant, which makes the catfish fat. Not greasy, the eggplant is fresh and fragrant, and the meat and vegetables complement each other."

Hua Jiujiu looked at the dish that he somewhat disliked.

This dish reminded her of an allusion.

Stewed eggplant with catfish is enough to kill the old man.

According to legend, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong and Prince Song Qinzong, were escorted by the Jin army to Wuguocheng. When they met a fisherman by the Songhua River, they brought some catfish and asked the fisherman to use the fish as a dish.

Seeing that there were few fish and many people, the fishermen put eggplants in the fish in order to make up the number. The soldiers gave the stewed dishes to Song Huizong and Song Qinzong to eat. Catfish flavor, it is impossible to tell which is catfish and which is eggplant, and after two mouthfuls of soup, the taste is simply better than a living god.

The second emperor had a delicious meal, forgetting all the delicacies from mountains and seas, the second emperor's diet increased greatly, he kept applauding, and kept belching after the meal, talking to the old man to death.

Since then, the folk proverb that catfish stewed with eggplant will kill the old man has spread among the people.

The story is a sad story, but the dish is a good dish, otherwise it would not have been passed down to this day.

However, this dish is lacking.

Looking at Nangong Yu who was praising and enjoying herself, Hua Jiujiu couldn't help but said:

"The eggplant was not marinated in advance, and it absorbed too much oil when frying, which resulted in the inability to fully absorb the flavor. The mucus on the surface of the catfish was not completely removed, resulting in a strong fishy smell.

The fish is stewed in cold water, which is not delicious and has a fishy smell, and the eggplant is added in a hurry to turn it, which causes the fresh and tender catfish meat to scatter, affecting the taste and appearance of the dish. "

Hua Jiujiu is not a gourmet, but he has eaten a lot of food, and even worked in a high-end restaurant, so he can still taste a little bit of why.

What's more, she has made this dish countless times herself, and she remembers making it for the dean who has lost all his teeth, so how could she not understand it?

Although Nangong Yu knew that Huajiujiu had some skills, he was still a little surprised to hear it with his own ears.

Sure enough, he guessed right!

Nangong Yu took a deep look at Huajiujiu, then pointed to a dish that Huajiujiu thought was good and said:

"This Fushouquan dish is really delicious. It is made by simmering more than a dozen kinds of raw materials in a pot. It has a common meaty taste and maintains its own characteristics. The ingredients are infiltrated with each other, and there is a taste in the taste."

Hua Jiujiu looked at the dish, isn't this a pirated version of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall?

Although it is a pirated version, the taste is still good, but it will feel a little worse than the real Buddha Jumping Wall.

There are also allusions to this Buddha jumping over the wall, and the most famous one is naturally the allusion given to the poem "The altar is full of meat and fragrance, and the Buddha heard the abandonment of Zen and jumped over the wall".

"The taste is good, but I almost feel that if I add some suitable precious ingredients, then seal it with lotus leaves and season with famous wine, the taste will be more intense aftertaste.

In addition, the simmering process of this dish did not maintain airtightness, which caused the fragrance to emerge and lost part of the delicious taste. Because the simmering time was not long enough, the heat was not controlled, resulting in the flavor of the ingredients not being fully released. "

Huajiujiu also started talking.

She has done Buddha jumping over the wall many times, and the dean praised it as better than the hotel's.

The shock in Nangong Yu's eyes became more and more obvious.

The ingredients involved in this dish are extremely precious, but this peasant girl looks like she knows everything well.

Is this really just a peasant girl?
