Chapter 106: The Three Rivers on the Tip of the Tongue Part 2

Gao Xianda praised Tadaji Sakai's craftsmanship.??.com

Tadaji Sakai just smiled and picked up a scallop for Matsuhei Motoyaku and Tadakatsu each of them.

After eating Matsuhei Motoyashi and Honda Tadasaki, they were like Gao Xianda, with their pupils dilated, their pores opened, and their faces were still unsatisfied.

Tadaji Sakai said proudly: "This is our Sanhe specialty, called the Sailing Shell. Because when it is usually opened, one shell is like a small boat, and the other shell is like a standing sail, hence the name. Compared with the shellfish produced in other places, not only is the shell column larger, but it also has a sweet smell.

Gao Xianda and the other two nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Scallops are also produced in Junfu, but they are very small and the meat is not big, so they cannot be called "fan" shells. The meat is even rougher than ordinary mandarin duck shells, and there are some fine sand particles inside, which cannot be spit clean even if you use water blisters.

So Gao Xianda did not like the local shellfish in Junfu.

But the squid shells here in Okazaki are so delicious. Compared with shellfish from other places, they are simply not a kind of thing.

Gao Xianda couldn't wait and quickly urged Tadaji Sakai to roast some more quickly. However, although Tadaji Sakai agreed, his technique was very stable and he was not in a hurry at all. He was still roasting slowly. He paid great attention to the heat, afraid of ruining the deliciousness given by nature.

After eating the third round of scallops, the seafood chowder soup stewed in a large pot was almost gulped.

Tadaji Sakai went to get some sauce and added it to it. He whisked it gently to let the seasoning dissolve in the soup. Then he cooked it for a while and then brought the soup bowl and served a bowl for Gao Xianda and the other two.

Gao Xianda brought the bowl. It was just a folk crude pottery bowl, but the heat insulation effect was pretty good. Even the hot soup that was just out of the pot was not hot in your hand. There were quite a lot of things in the bowl, most of which were small seafood with slightly worse taste, including small fish, shrimp, small shells, and some thick cut kelp.

The thick kelp has become soft and glutinous after being stewed. When you bite it, it has a slight texture, but it is not too soft, which affects the taste and can withstand repeated chewing in your mouth.

The kelp contains a natural salty smell of the sea, but it does not make people feel disgusted. Gao Xianda feels that he is in the vast ocean, with an extremely open mind.

Unexpectedly, Tadao Sakai was such a good chef! Gao Xianda praised Tadao Sakai's cooking skills.

But Tadaji Sakai just waved his hand and said, "This is just a trick of the devil. The real food hasn't arrived yet."

The store took out some tofu at this time. Tadaji Sakai used a knife to cut it into thick slices, put it in a boiling soup pot, and stewed it with seafood. After stewing for a while, the tofu was completely tasted in the soup, and then they took a few slices for each of them. They let them eat it in soy sauce marinated with fish.

The taste of this tofu is different from the previous seafood.

Tofu is old tofu, but after special treatment, the bean smell in it has disappeared. The small hole in the middle of the old tofu can completely absorb the umami flavor in the seafood soup.

In this bite, it has both the softness of tofu and the fragrance of seafood, which is no less than eating the best fish dish. Even the top fish meat may not have such a taste. Fish sauce soy sauce enhances the umami flavor of the tofu and further sublimates it.

The fish sauce itself has a fishy smell, which Gao Xianda didn't like. However, when mixed with the tofu, the fishy smell was greatly reduced, but the umami flavor was retained.

Gao Xianda couldn't help but become obsessed with it. Unexpectedly, it was just a dish similar to white water-rolled tofu dipped in soy sauce, and he could taste this way.

"This is the cotton tofu produced by our Mikawa." Sakai Tadaji introduced, "It has the resistant to boiling of old tofu and the texture of silk tofu. Cooking it with seafood soup is the best delicacy."

"It's true!" Gao Xianda ate a few pieces of tofu in a row, completely ignoring his tongue being burned by the tofu because of his anxiety.

"Is this the 'good thing' you said?" Gao Xianda asked, "It's really delicious!"

"It's not here yet. The 'good thing' is not ready so quickly." Tadaji Sakai asked Gao Xianda to be more patient.

He asked the store to make some wine, pour it for everyone, and toasted Gao Xianda's glass.

Gao Xianda refused to refuse anyone and drank the shallow bowl of wine in one go.

Okazaki's wine is also different from that of Junfu.

The wine in Junfu is softer and more in line with the luxurious atmosphere of the Oriental Kyoto. Okazaki's wine is clear and spicy, representing the tough style of the people of Sanhe.

There is no better or worse in these two types of wines, but Gao Xianda, who is used to drinking strong wine, feels that Sanhe’s wine is more suitable.

Such spicy wine, combined with very fresh scallops and smooth tofu, is integrated into three flavors. Especially after just experiencing a cruel war, Gao Xianda seemed to be in the battlefield again, holding a spear, roaring towards the sky, with a unique passion.

After three rounds of wine, Gao Xianda's sweat was steamed. At this time, the so-called "good stuff" of the store finally came out.

The store holds a small pot with bright red sauce inside, and a cone-shaped object soaked in the sauce.

Matsuhira Motoyashi and Honda Tada had never seen such things before. They were a little stunned, not knowing what it was or how to eat it.

However, Gao Xianda is very familiar with this kind of thing.

"Uh, isn't this just a elbow..." Gao Xianda said to himself.

Gao Xianda was not speaking loudly, but Tadaji Sakai heard it. Tadaji Sakai's eyes stood up and said, "Sir, you have such a good eye! You know its origin. Could it be that you have eaten it before?"

Gao Xianda thought to himself: "This thing is not too common." However, there is a fasting meat in Japan. Gao Xianda once searched for pork in Junfu but couldn't find it. She could actually see elbows here, which is indeed a "good thing"!

Gao Xianda didn't answer, but directly stretched out his chopsticks and tore down a piece of flesh. The flesh was shiny and trembling in his hand. He said it was fleshy skin, but it didn't have much oil.

Gao Xianda stuffed the large piece of flesh into his mouth in one bite, and a sweet juice suddenly poured out, not greasy at all, and it was indeed time to stew it.

Gao Xianda chewed the skin greedily, and the aroma of oil filled his nose. If you had to use a word to describe Gao Xianda at this time, there was "happiness" there!
