Chapter 587 Yangzhou Fried Rice(1/2)
A glass of rice wine was so elegant that the two of them drank the elegance of rice wine.
The warm rice wine is so warm that it is as comfortable as washing your face with a hot towel.
When I talk about it, I also have the special sweetness of rice wine.
This taste is similar to the rice wine I drank in the dream of Rouge Goose.
"Comfortable!"
After this mouthful of rice wine, I felt extremely comfortable after I got old. The pores on my limbs and bones were opened.
"Is this your specialty?" Lucas asked curiously.
"Of course, there is a place called Shaoxing in our country, which is the specialty there. However, when you go to other cities, there are similar wines called rice wine, but there will be a little difference in the brewing method and taste." Chen Nian explained.
Lucas nodded: "Actually, I want to go to your place to take a look this time, but as I walked, I used up my money, and in the end I had no choice but to stay here. I have been in Jakarta for half a year, and all the money I earned was taken as living expenses. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know how long it would take to be here."
Chen Nian looked at the other person curiously. He had heard that this person was a wandering musician, but he fell here and was picked up by the captain.
But I don't know why the other party did this.
So Chen Nian asked about his doubts.
I saw Lucas first inserted a piece of pork liver with a fork and put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. After swallowing it, he said: "I like music, but I don't want to be bound. In my opinion, art should be diverse, so I want to travel around the world to see what music is like in other places except the United States.
I became famous at the age of 17 and had already made a lot of money at the age of 18. Then I took the money and went around the United States and then Europe. Before coming to Jakarta, I had just come out of Africa. Of course, I was still going smoothly along the way, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me here.
But after I got here, I used up all my last savings. I originally planned to use this place as a place to stay and then go to your country to see your music, which is also my last destination.”
Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh at the other party's luck when he heard this.
But at the same time, a question arose: "How much money did you make after you have been away for so many years?"
Lucas thought for a while: "It's been many years, but I remember it should be about 1 million."
Chen Nian was shocked when he heard this scene!
"What? 1 million!"
Chen Nian was frightened by this number, you have to know if he has so much money now.
And Lucas said that it must be US dollars. At one point, Chen Nian thought the other party might be bragging.
"It's almost the same. On the one hand, my family was rich at that time. I started to cultivate my musical talent since I was a child. When I was eighteen, I was a relatively famous musician, and the appearance fee was at least tens of thousands of dollars.
That is, when I was eighteen years old, I spent the whole year of being invited to perform everywhere. Although I made money, I was not happy. From that time on, I began to feel that I should go to more places to see more music.”
The other party's words opened his eyes.
This is a real hero.
And being able to take all 1 million away and spend it casually at least means that the family is not short of the 1 million.
For a moment, Chen Nian couldn't help but respect the other party!
"Then what are your plans this time? This ship is now heading to the United States." Chen Nian asked.
Lucas shook his head: "I know this ship is from the United States, and I also talked to the captain at that time. After the ship arrives in the United States, it will go to China again after resting for a while. I will disembark in China."
"Then you're not doing this for a long time. Wouldn't you have to find someone else at that time? Can the captain agree to you?"
Lucas smiled: "The captain has agreed, but he told me that after I stay in China for a while, it is OK if I still want to continue on board."
"how do you say?"
"Of course I agree. China is the last stop I want to go to. After that, I also need to consider finding a place to retire. Obviously, this ship is good and can meet different people and let people from all over the world enjoy my music."
Chen Nian nodded: "It's so amazing. I have been running for half my life for a long time for a thought. Now I have begun to respect you a little."
Unexpectedly, Lucas waved his hand: "Don't respect me, I'm just an ordinary person, I just have a little hobby, but I have to say that the dish you cook is very delicious."
"Really? This is my first time making it. I only learned how to cook this dish with another chef a few hours ago."
"Of course it's true. You are a great young chef, but I heard that there is a very powerful chef on this ship. He seems to be from the same country as you. The captain mentioned his name at that time, as if his surname was Huo."
"Yes, this is the executive chef on the Platinum Star, and it can be said that he is the most skilled in cooking among us."
"It's amazing." Lucas said appreciatively.
In this way, the two of them were drinking rice wine and eating Nanjian Liver while chatting.
When I saw the bottom of the dish, I finished drinking the bottle of wine.
"Okay, Mr. Lucas, it's time for you to go back and rest. I need to finish cleaning up here later. I'm glad to have dinner with you tonight."
"I'm very happy too." Lucas stood up, his body shaking a little, obviously he had drunk it, "But Mr. Chen, do you cook here every day?"
"Yes, if nothing special, I'll try new dishes in the kitchen every night."
"Can I come here to eat with you in the future?"
"Of course." Chen Nian said, seeing that Lucas was a little unsteady, he quickly held the other party with one hand and said, "It's just that the dishes you eat every time you come here will be different."
“That’s better and more fresh.”
After Lucas finished speaking, he was about to take a step, but he fell to the chair again.
Chen Nian sighed when he saw this, but he didn't expect that Lucas could drink so much rice wine.
"You'd better wait a moment, and I'll send it back for you later."
In this way, Chen Nian cleaned up the kitchen before sending Lucas back to the room.
"Remember not to oversleep tomorrow. You still have to get up and play at noon."
Before leaving, Chen Nian gave another piece of advice.
On the way back to his room, Chen Nian didn't expect that a couple left and Lucas came again.
However, today I communicated with the other party, Chen Nian found that this person was quite interesting and could also talk to him.
All in all, pretty good.
Moreover, the Nanjian liver was made tonight and 98% after making it once.
Let's think about it again in the next two days.
It will probably rise to 100.
On the second day, Chen Nian went to work as usual, but just in case, he found a waiter to tell the other party to wait until after ten o'clock, and knock on the door of the new pianist Lucas on the boat, to see if the other party got up and not overslept.
Sure enough, it was just noon opening hours, and the waiter took advantage of the time when he came to the kitchen to serve the dishes and told Chen Nian that he would be in trouble at around 11 o'clock, so he didn't have time to knock on the door.
It took a long time to wake the other person up.
Fortunately, Lucas is ready to play the piano outside.
It’s just that the old one can’t hear it in the kitchen, and it feels a bit a pity.
And he has been cooking new dishes since yesterday.
Three things needed to be replaced by Chen Nian, so Chen Nian changed two dishes and one staple food.
One dish is Yangzhou fried rice, and the other two dishes are crab noodles, lion head and crystal meat.
Although the process is complicated, with four tools to help, it is relatively easy to get old.
The other two dishes are old faces.
But it is worth mentioning that Yangzhou fried rice is not the kind of ordinary fried rice that can be bought for a few or dozens of dollars in the traditional sense.
Even at Honghong Hotel, Yangzhou fried rice is not only sold, but even if it is placed at a banquet, the price of Yangzhou fried rice will be 36 yuan.
No one has asked before because they think it is normal for the food at the banquet to be expensive.
And now it is very common to go out even if you eat staple food for 20 or 30.
But in fact, the price of Yangzhou fried rice is worth the 36 yuan.
I remember that when Chen Nian was learning Huaiyang cuisine with Jin Dachuan, this dish also took a lot of effort.
Just the first step to make egg pine, it took nearly a week to age.
Egg pine is actually somewhat similar to meat floss, but it is made of eggs.
After making it, it looks similar to meat floss, where the eggs are pulled into thin silk and then tangled together.
But on the one hand, to control the oil temperature, you must first raise the oil and then lower it down to about 90 degrees.
Then put the beaten egg yolks into the vessel and slowly pour them into the pot. The whole process must keep the egg liquid poured into the pot in a very thin state. Otherwise, after the finished product comes out, it cannot be called egg pine, but egg strips.
So Chen Nian practiced pouring egg liquid for a long time, and then practiced pouring egg liquid into the oil pan for a long time.
Because it requires pouring the egg liquid into the oil pan while stirring it with quicks.
Once it is executed while cooking, it will be completely different.
But people are a whole, and the process of stirring will inevitably cause another hand holding the vessel to tremble.
As long as you move, the falling liquid will be inconsistent in thickness.
But it would be fine if the light shook, but the problem is that fast people need to be stirred constantly and people will keep moving.
Always move, uneven.
