Around the tomato sauce spaghetti, there is a circle of white sauce.
Li Xiao used a golden fork to dip a little into the white sauce.
An extremely strong aroma immediately exploded on the taste buds on the tongue.
The aroma of garlic and the fresh and sweet taste of cod hit your face.
Use garlic oil to cook cod, wait until the cod has fully absorbed the aroma of garlic, and then remove it from the garlic oil.
The cod is minced, emulsified, and seasoned to make a dipping sauce called Timi Timi.
The flavor is very unique, salty and fresh, with a strong taste and plenty of staying power.
Li Xiao did not mix cod sauce into the pasta.
Instead, use a fork to put the isinglass of the large yellow croaker into your mouth first.
After being simmered for a long time, the isinglass has become very soft and glutinous, full of collagen, and the QQ glutinous texture is perfect.
The taste of the isinglass here is also very special. It was the first time for Li Xiao to eat tomato sauce-flavored isinglass.
However, the sweet and sour isinglass tastes quite good and has a new flavor.
The small piece of isinglass quickly disappeared into the mouth.
The texture of spaghetti is even more special because when the spaghetti is cooked.
In order to increase the flavor of the pasta, the chef put the isinglass in the pot in advance.
In this way, there is a transparent film on the surface of the pasta, which is the gelatin of isinglass.
After heating, it completely adheres to the pasta.
However, this film is very thin and would not be noticeable unless it enters the mouth.
After long-term cooking, a small part of the fresh flavor of the isinglass is absorbed by the pasta, making it taste QQ, glutinous and chewy.
However, the preparation of this pasta is only considered good in Li Xiao's opinion.
Although the technique and heat control are quite clever, it is slightly inferior to the tomato sauce wrapped on it.
The sweetness, sourness and saltiness of the sauce are perfectly handled.
After eating so many dishes, Li Xiao also found that the other party liked to use sweet and sour flavors very much.
Of course, it could also be Miss He Ruochu sitting opposite, who likes sour and sweet flavors.
However, the sweetness and sourness of each dish was very suitable.
Even if it can't be said to be the pinnacle, it can still be said to be a success.
The amount of spaghetti is also not much, just two forkfuls, the spaghetti is all the way to the bottom.
However, Li Xiao felt that the portion was enough, after all, there were too many dishes.
If there are too many dishes for a single dish, it will take up space for other dishes.
After finishing the pasta, the young lady brought over a small pot of tea.
"Hello, the one you're serving below is Wushan's Jin Junmei, which is this year's new tea."
Hearing what the young lady said, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows.
You know, it's only the end of February and the beginning of March.
In other words, these new teas in front of you are from picking to making to presentation.
It can't be more than a month at most. He has never tasted such a new tea.
The color of fresh Jinjun eyebrows is light gold, with a little green in the light gold, and only a small handful at the end will appear dark black.
Before brewing, the young lady specially smelled it for the two of them.
Li Xiao took the small jar of fresh Jin Junmei, and before it reached the tip of his nose, a rich aroma of honey and flowers filled the air from the tea jar.
The taste is very fresh, without the stale smell that is typical of old tea.
Closing his eyes, Li Xiao even felt that what he saw in front of him was not roasted tea leaves, but a fresh tea tree.
The young lady's method of making tea is also very neat, using a very authentic phoenix nod.
The full name of Feng Nodou is: Phoenix Three Nods Brewing Method.
I saw a young lady wearing a green cheongsam holding a golden water bottle and pulling it up and down three times from low to high.
The steaming boiling water flows out evenly from the spout.
When the water is poured into the cup, it also falls with it. The movement is like a phoenix nodding, which is vivid and graceful.
Three rises and three falls means bowing three times to welcome the guests.
The cheongsam girl holds the kettle in her right hand close to the mouth of the tea cup and fills it with water. Then she lifts her wrist to lift the kettle. Then she still presses her wrist and holds the kettle close to the mouth of the tea cup to continue filling.
This will create a pressure difference between the high and low water pressure, and the water flow will form a vortex in the teapot, allowing the hot flow to roll the tea leaves in the teapot.
This allows the flavor of the tea to be released more thoroughly and evenly.
After repeating this process for three times, the cheongsam girl decisively lifted the teapot and turned off the water.
At this time, the water in the teapot has just reached the position of the bottle cap, and not a drop of water spills out when the bottle cap is closed.
The young lady's movements were sharp, crisp and flawless. She was obviously a master at this.
After a pot of Jinjunmei passed through Feng Nod, the temperature of the tea also increased from 92 degrees to about 50 degrees.
No need to wait, Li Xiao picked up the tea cup and drank it.
Although Jinjunmei is black tea, the tea soup is indeed golden yellow. After brewing, Jinjunmei has a more fragrant aroma.
Take a sip and put it into your throat, it has a fruit-like sweetness.
The soup is softer than the ordinary Lapsang Souchong black tea, and the aroma is more intoxicating when you drink it hot, as if you were in an orchard.
The mouth and nose are filled with a sweet smell.
The first entrance feels soft and smooth, and soon the cheeks will be filled with saliva, and then the aftertaste will be endless.
These Jinjun, picked before the rain, are very light in astringency and extremely sweet in taste.
With just a small bite, the greasy feeling originally felt due to eating isinglass and pasta disappeared in an instant.
The entire mouth immediately becomes clean and refreshed.
“Good tea.”
Li Xiao couldn't help but nod in admiration.
This fresh Jin Junmei is far better than any tea he has had in other five-star restaurants before.
So far, only Zhang Haoquan, who sells tea and tangerine peel, and the Pu'er tea worth gold that Uncle Zhang drank can hold his own.
Hearing Li Xiao's praise, He Ruochu chuckled:
"It's not easy. After eating for so long, I only heard Mr. Li's praise now."
"It seems that this tea really suits Mr. Li's taste."
Li Xiao did not deny it, he nodded gently:
"Indeed, if the previous dishes were only 90 points at the highest, then this pot of tea should be at least 99 points."
This is not an exaggeration by Li Xiao, but it is the fact.
He Ruochu was not too surprised when he heard this score.
She turned to look at the young lady who was still making tea and said:
"Help me get a few cans of this new tea from Feng, thank you."
The young lady making tea seemed to have heard such a request for the first time, with a hesitant expression on her face:
"We have a fixed portion of tea for each table, so..."
The waitress next to me saw that her colleague did not respond immediately, so she quickly came forward.
She smiled and explained to He Ruochu:
"I'm very sorry. Miss He is new here and is not very sensible. I will ask you immediately."
He Ruochu did not show any dissatisfaction because the other party did not recognize her. She waved her hand and spoke softly:
"It's okay. I've been busy lately, so I've come less frequently. It's normal for her not to recognize me."
"Go on and ask for as many cans as you can, just say I want to give them to my friends."
Seeing the waitress walking away, the tea master quickly thanked her in a low voice:
"Miss He, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, just keep making your tea."
····
Before the second pot of tea was finished, the waitress hurried back with a delicate little bag in her hand.
The waitress, with a smile on her face:
"Hello, Miss He, the head chef said that this time he only brought five cans of new tea from his friend's place."
"One jar has been opened and used, one jar has been given away, and the remaining three jars are all left to you."
Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh that Miss He still had a lot of face.
