Chapter 2723: The losses of the single dog Alliance
Translator: 549690339
In the beginning, Gu Wei wanted to eat a lot of dishes, many of which were his usual favorites. But his little gold reserve did not give him any energy, so he could only eat a few dishes that he missed the most first.
This dish of quail and eggplant had always been Gu Wei’s favorite. It was a very beautiful Kungfu dish with the great success of knife skills and fire skills.
He looked up. If not for the color, Gu Wei would have thought that he saw a fat quail lying on the plate. The color was golden and the feathers on it were distinct and lifelike. Even if the color was different, Gu Wei could still feel that there was a new species in the quail world.
The surface that was drizzled with a layer of sauce seemed to be smooth feathers with the morning light. Bathed in the sun, grass, birds, and the faint chirping of birds could be heard. It was as if it was alive.
“Hiss, I probably won’t be able to learn this dish.”
Gu Wei looked at the dish for two seconds and suddenly blurted out this sentence. He had no choice. Although he was extremely confident in himself and thought that he was a talented player, he knew that it was important to have self-awareness. This dish was like a towering mountain in terms of cutting skills. If he couldn’t overcome it, he would probably have to chop off his hands faster.
Although it couldn ‘t, the fragrance was so strong that it reminded Gu Wei to quickly move his chopsticks and mouth. He picked up the chopsticks and carefully picked up a feather. Although the surface was a little soft because of the soup, it could still be seen that it was fried quite well without any water. That was why the sauce was absorbed so quickly.
Once the feathers were removed, a large piece of fine meat was revealed. The fragrance was even stronger. It was different from the fragrance of pork and beef. Quail meat had the fragrance of bird-type meat. It was very different.
The dark red meat looked even more beautiful after being treated. It was really like peeling off a layer of feathers and seeing the flesh inside.
When the eggplant entered his mouth, because he had used the method of steaming and peeling, after deep-frying and steaming, the outer skin lost its crispness at the beginning, but it looked extra soft and tough because of the addition of water and soup. However, the inside was very soft and tender. After biting off the outer skin with a little force, if he did not hold back, he almost could not feel the inside. His attention would be attracted by the next layer of skin. The middle was so tender and smooth that it almost melted the moment it entered his mouth.
As compared to the outer layer, the inner layer was in direct contact with the quail meat, so it had a bit more flavor and was particularly delicious.
When he saw the appearance, Gu Wei knew that the taste of this dish was absolutely beyond his imagination. But when he put it into his mouth, he found that no matter how much he imagined, it was still not enough to reach one-tenth of its true taste.
He had eaten outside before, but he didn’t have such a deep feeling. This time, he was eating the familiar hometown dishes. Gu Wei felt that Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills had subverted his previous understanding. Could a human make such a taste? It shouldn’t be.
Gu Wei felt that he had seen a lot of things, but he had never seen anyone like Yuan Zhou, who could do everything perfectly. Therefore, no matter how confident he was, he would be satisfied if he could make one or two of Yuan Zhou’s dishes.
He didn’t know if he was just too ambitious or too confident. Fortunately, no one knew what Gu Wei was thinking.
The shock brought by the quails and eggplants had not yet passed, and the greased meat could not wait to be served. Unlike the previous dishes, which had a strange fragrance, the most unique feature of this dish was definitely the extra soup.
When Gu Wei wrote down the menu, he had specifically stated that he wanted Jincheng rice and greasy meat.
In fact, there were many places that had greasy meat, such as Jiangsu cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, and Shanghai cuisine. Each place had its own characteristics, but the greasy meat of Jin cuisine was still very different, especially in Jincheng. It was not an undeserved reputation to be called “the taste of the three Jin”.
In addition, Jincheng’s greasy meat was also known as the rice greasy meat. There was a saying,”a bowl of white rice, with a plate of greasy meat, with scallion, pepper, and garlic. The more you eat, the more you like it.” “This is the origin.
A bowl of white rice was served along with the greasy meat. Gu Wei ate it as usual. The tender and smooth meat slices, the thick soup, and the refreshing fragrance of the rice made him feel as if he was in Jincheng. He felt comfortable all over, and the pores on his body opened to breathe in the fresh air. He felt very comfortable from the inside out.
Gu Wei didn’t know how others felt, but he felt very comfortable. Whether it was the quail and eggplant dish before or the greasy meat now, he had experienced the unique charm of Jin cuisine.
He had been warned before that no matter where the cuisines were, as long as Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had them, the most authentic cuisines would definitely be in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. In the past, Gu Wei didn’t feel anything when he heard these words. But now, he felt that those people were really too modest.
He wasn’t a professional chef, so he couldn’t cross the line to judge whether it was authentic or not. However, there was no doubt that the degree of the taste was top-notch. Even if he was an ordinary foodie, he knew that such a taste was almost impossible to appear in the human world.
It was really a delicacy that he had never seen before. The last dish, lamb with cypress seeds and fried green onions, was originally a very common medicinal dish. The preparation method was even simpler, which was to fry green onions. The only requirement was the heat control. Although the heat control seemed to be relatively simple, Gu Wei had a completely different feeling when he ate such a simple dish.
The aroma of cypress seeds wafted through the air. The mutton was fresh, tender, and fragrant. It was neither fishy nor pungent. It was definitely the best quality of mutton. It was so fresh and tender that it was like the first touch of green in spring. It made one feel tender and loving. When it entered one’s mouth, it was as if spring had arrived in one’s body. It was full of vitality and a warm aura.
“Eighteen, nineteen … Twenty-three. There are twenty-three ten-Yuan notes and five one-hundred Yuan notes in total. That’s more than seven hundred Yuan. I should have enough to save for another week. It’ll be the Lantern Festival, and my wife will take turns on her day off. I can bring her to the restaurant to try Jin cuisine. She should be very happy.”
Although he had finished four dishes and a bowl of rice, Gu Wei still felt that he had more to eat. However, he didn’t order any more. Instead, he started to calculate the remaining money in his small Treasury and how often he could bring his wife here for a meal. If he had something good, he naturally had to share it with his wife. In this aspect, Gu Wei and Yuan Zhou were both equally good at it.
One showed it internally while the other showed it externally. However, in any case, they were both showing off their affection. For single dogs, this should be considered inhumane and heresy. However, since the single dog Alliance was lost and Yuan Zhou and Wu Hai, two powerful forces, were unable to recover from the setback, they couldn’t win against showing off their love.
Having made arrangements in his mind about bringing his wife here next time, Gu Wei stood up and walked outside to make room for the others. During the process, he nodded and greeted Yuan Zhou. After all, Yuan Zhou was very busy. If they could nod and greet each other in the midst of their busy schedule, they could be considered to be very familiar with him.
As a matter of fact, Yuan Zhou and Gu Wei knew each other well. At least, they were familiar with each other. Their meeting was also dramatic. They both liked a very beautiful silk scarf made of mulberry silk and wanted to buy it as a gift for their own home. However, there was only one. In the end, although Yuan Zhou got it with his own ability (by showing his face), they became friends after a fight.
