  Chapter 328 Fish-flavored eggplant stew (3)

  Wen Mingtang didn't need to remind, Tang Yuan and A Bing had already held a pair of chopsticks in their hands, holding the rice bowl with rice in one hand, and stretching out the chopsticks in the other hand to the "gulu gulu" bubbling fish-flavored eggplant stew.

Pick up an eggplant strip from the "well-behaved" eggplant section, the purple skin of the eggplant is soaked in the fish-flavored red oil soup, the oil is shiny, and the white eggplant meat has long been covered with sauce. The juice was stained dark brown.

  Although the eggplant strips are sandwiched, it is not only the eggplant strips, the eggplant meat is covered with finely minced pork meat and green and red pepper rings, which looks very attractive.

Before entering the mouth, they felt the heat coming from the eggplant when they approached their lips. This "hot" heat reminded them that this eggplant was just picked up from the "gulu gulu" casserole with small bubbles. The strips couldn't be eaten immediately, but while preventing them from eating immediately, the "hot" heat accelerated the speed of the salty and spicy aroma rushing into the nostrils.

  The two swallowed subconsciously, and blew on the eggplant strips on the chopsticks. After the "heat" dissipated, they put the eggplant sticks in their mouths, and then... bit down on them. The soup juice absorbed in the eggplant strips overflows from the eggplant sticks and pours into the mouth. The unique red oil, slightly spicy and salty aroma mixed with the aroma of eggplant and minced pork immediately fills the whole mouth.

The eyes of Tang Yuan and A Bing were visible to the naked eye, but they had no time to speak. Even after blowing on the mouth, the "heat" of the eggplant sticks was still hot. Fighting against the deliciousness and heat, he raised his hand and gave Wen Mingtang a thumbs up, then lowered his head, impatiently sent a mouthful of fragrant and soft rice into his mouth, after a while of chewing and swallowing, the two opened their mouths.

"Good...delicious!" said A Bing, sticking out his hot tongue, "the taste is so unique, it seems to be salty and spicy at first taste, but it is completely different from simple salty and spicy. The sweet taste is mixed in it, but it is not obvious, I just feel that the taste is so rich, it is really indescribable."

It is as if salty, spicy, sour, sweet and other flavors have been fused into one mass, and they are completely glued together. The tip of the tongue can feel and taste each of them, but it is impossible to extract any of them separately. The flavors are fused together, forming a layer-by-layer progressive, exceptionally unique taste, which makes people want to stop.

This is probably the "fish scent" that Master Wen said. I heard that not only can you make eggplant, but you can also make fish-flavored shredded pork with meat, fish-flavored baked eggs with eggs, and you can make it with lettuce, radish and other ingredients. Bring out the fish parsley.

   While he was feeling emotional, he heard a voice behind him.

"I just said that some master chefs in the public kitchen are here to cook a small stove!" Liu Yuan poked his head out from behind A Bing who was holding a job bowl, and greeted Wen Mingtang with a smile: "Master Wen, I haven't seen you for a day. But tell me to wait and think about it!"

Hearing this, the glutinous rice **** that put another eggplant stick into the bowl rolled their eyelids, and unceremoniously pierced Liu Yuan's implication: "You are thinking about the dishes made by Master Wen!" Without waiting for Liu Yuan to reply, he raised his eyes to Liu Yuan, "Does Liu Sicheng think that today's fish head tofu stew with chopped peppers is not tasty?"

Looking at the angry look of the little girl, I remembered that she was holding on to the spoon in her hand, and she still held the power of "distributing the dishes" every day. If this hand shook... Liu Yuan immediately raised his hand to admit his mistake: It's delicious." You can't offend Master Tangyuan, let alone Master Wen, so Liu Yuan rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "I just ran back to the prison and interrogated the suspect, and I'm a little hungry now." Already." He rubbed his stomach as he spoke, glanced at the casserole still bubbling behind Tangyuan and A Bing, and his throat moved, "When I passed by the public kitchen, I smelled the fragrance, so I came to see it. See if there is any left, you can pad your stomach."

These words successfully relieved Tang Yuan's anger, Tang Yuan moved her toes to the side, pointed at the casserole, and said: "Master Zhao came here for the first time to eat evening food today, his appetite is good, and he ate two fish heads each. , I ate all the evening food with A Bing, and Master Wen did not eat the evening food, so he made a fish-flavored eggplant stew with the remaining eggplants and pork minced from Zhuangzi."

  The unique and strange fragrance caught Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's mouth watering. Hearing what the glutinous rice **** said, Bai Zhu couldn't help but let out a "huh" and asked in surprise, "Is the dish cooked with fish and eggplant delicious?"

   This taste, some of them couldn't imagine it for a while, but it smells delicious, especially when seeing Master Wen standing next to the dish, there is always a feeling that it is more delicious.

  If Wen Mingtang knew that he had acquired this "capability" at some point, he might not be able to hold back the corners of his mouth from twitching.

  He lowered his head and took a bite of the eggplant glutinous rice balls. Hearing this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes: This fish-flavored eggplant has a unique and rich taste, and the taste is also progressive. The eggplant skin is smooth, the eggplant meat is soft and rotten, and the minced pork meat is slightly grainy. When you sip and **** it with the tip of your tongue, the overflowing soup has a unique flavor and melts in it. It's really delicious.

   After taking a mouthful of rice into the mouth, Tang Yuan praised "Yes" from the bottom of her heart, and said to Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, "There is no fish in this fish-flavored eggplant."

  As soon as this explanation came out, Wen Mingtang subconsciously raised his forehead, knowing that the next classic question was coming.

   Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the impatient Liu Yuan immediately said: "Why is it called Yuxiang eggplant without fish?"

  This question is the same as why there is no wife in the wife cake. Most people who just come into contact with these food will ask such a question.

  But this problem is not unexplainable.

"Fish flavor is the same as spicy, hot and sour, pickled pepper, and smoked. It is a type of flavor, and there are many dishes that can be cooked," Wen Mingtang said, glancing at the other side while talking, without blinking his eyes Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, staring at the steaming casserole and drooling, smiled, "Will Liu Sicheng and Bai Sicheng try this fish-flavored eggplant pot?"

   Without waiting for Bai Zhu to speak, Liu Yuan immediately said: "It happens to be hungry, so thank you, Master Wen!"

   Answered so quickly, as if afraid of a moment of hesitation, Wen Mingtang went back on his word.

  Wen Mingtang glanced at Liu Yuan, smiled and shook his head, this pot of fish-flavored eggplant was only enough for her, Tangyuan and A Bing.

  As a cook, he can control the food intake of the people around him naturally, so... Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's share will naturally have to be done again.

  It’s always troublesome to restart the kitchen, but it’s for two people, so it’s natural for a few more people to do it.

  Wen Mingtang glanced at Zhao You who stepped into the public kitchen from behind the two, and said with a smile, "Is the guard Zhao here?"

Zhao You walked in with the food box, smelling the strong smell of fish, nodded, and before everyone asked when his legs and feet were healed, he said, "Master Wen, Lin Shaoqing ordered me to pick up the evening food !"
