Two days later, in a villa in the western suburbs, four men sat in a circle and were engaged in a certain Chinese quintessence activity.
"What a fool." One of them touched a twenty thousand with his long jade fingers, slapped it on the table, and then pushed down the cards in front of him, all touching the cards.
The other three people said "tsk tsk" twice, then pushed their cards into the pool and continued to the next round.
"Tang Yuan, you are so proud of your career. You have to kill three families in the card game. Leave some way for us to survive, dear?" someone yelled.
Tang Yuan frowned, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and his bangs were messy in front of his forehead. He looked at the cards in his hand with half-lowered eyes. After hearing this, he rolled his eyes angrily: "Which of you here is not
It costs hundreds of thousands every minute, and you still envy me as a chef?"
A few people thought about it and agreed.
Tang Yuan, Li Hanzhi, Su Ji, and Wei Li are collectively known as the Four Little Kings of Southern California. After graduation, the other three returned to China one after another to inherit the family business, while Tang Yuan went to France to study at Le Cordon Bleu.
So the Four Little Heavenly Kings’ agreement on the quintessence of the Chinese nation continued secretly...
"What's the name of your restaurant?" Su Ji touched the three tubes and asked.
Li Hanzhi answered from the side: "Lantingxuan! I asked Aji, can you remember nothing except the RMB figures?"
Su Ji: "After all, the RMB is so cute."
Tang Yuan also didn’t expect Lantingxuan to be so popular. After the daily limit of fifty tables was reached, the number of guests increased instead of decreasing, and the WeChat account of the young man who welcomed the guests was flooded. Coupled with the free publicity from guests on various social platforms,
There are only a lot more customers coming to Western restaurants.
Really...
It made him so melancholy.
Su Ji from the upper house touched a tube from Wei Li from the lower house. It was his turn to touch the cards, and his fingertips lightly slid across the cards. Three of a kind, he was confused again.
All big cranes.
hehe……
The other three sneered and snorted twice, and calmly settled the cards. If they continued playing, they would lose all their pants.
In this game, Tang Yuan killed three parties by himself.
…
Li Hanzhi collapsed on the sofa, stretched out his long legs, and hung them on the coffee table. He swiped his phone several times and felt uncomfortable: "Xiao Yuanzi, nine out of ten posts in my circle of friends are talking about your Lantingxuan."
, is it really so delicious?”
Su Ji took a sip of kung fu tea and said, "Tang Yuan's skills were pretty good before, and he will definitely get better after going to Le Cordon Bleu to study."
Not as good as...
The three of them looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds, and they turned to Tang Yuan in unison.
"We are hungry." They all said in their hearts.
The villa belongs to Su Ji. This financial giant is fussy and picky, so he can only live alone. The housekeeping aunt comes to cook and clean for him every day. There are quite a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. If it were at Li Hanzhi's house, those few people would have to
starve.
Tang Yuan sighed and reluctantly dug into the refrigerator. He knew that when he was with these people, he would never escape the fate of cooking for them.
There was frozen meat in the freezer. Tang Yuan took it out and smelled it. It was fat and thin, authentic New Zealand French lamb chops. He touched his chin and thought for a while. He happened to be researching a new dish recently, so let them be a test subject.
.
The lamb chops were first put into the thawing box to defrost, and Tang Yuan made the side dishes first.
The small potatoes are all round and shiny. Just wash them without peeling them, cut them in half, brush them with a thin layer of olive oil, and roast them over low heat until the surface is golden. In the same way, grill the asparagus and cherry tomatoes.
Three minutes later, Tang Yuan took out the thawed lamb chops, used absorbent paper to absorb the water on the surface, and marinated them with spices and seasonings.
Heat the pan, add the marinated lamb chops and fry over low heat. The fat will gradually overflow and make a "crackling" sound. The surface of the lamb chops will gradually turn golden brown and begin to emit a unique aroma.
The stewed lamb chops that Tang Yuan made today was different from the past. Stewing it with clear soup and red wine were both traditional methods. What he was going to make was coffee stewed with red wine.
Li Hanzhi lay on the bar and watched him take out the coffee beans, his eyes widened: "I... we don't drink coffee." There is nothing good about the bitter coffee, we all drink it.
"What are you thinking about? I use this for cooking." Tang Yuan smiled at him in confusion.
Li Hanzhi swallowed silently, coffee and cooking??? This is probably not some dark cuisine!
When he ran to tell the other two brothers, the three of them also had tragic expressions on their faces. Why didn't you think of it?! Tang Yuan cooked for them, and most likely he wanted to try the dishes!! All I can say is
…
Sao Nian, you are still too naive...
The name of the coffee beans is Geisha. These beans are lightly roasted and have a strong sweet taste. Tang Yuan glanced at Su Ji. The guy didn't look particularly friendly at him. He quickly explained: "It was given to me by someone else, but I didn't drink it."
Yes, I don't know." The implication is that you, the old man, watch the cooking by yourself, and he is not familiar with the things in the kitchen.
Tang Yuan felt a little regretful. The bitterness of the coffee brewed with Geisha was almost negligible, so they were lucky.
Grind the coffee beans into powder and brew it with boiling water. After a while, the whole living room is filled with the strong aroma of coffee. If you smell it carefully, there is even a hint of flowers and plants. Tang Yuan takes another stew pot, brushes a layer of butter, and onions.
, pour in the garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, add the lamb chops, pour in the coffee liquid, then add the water of life, and simmer over low heat.
Forty minutes later, the four of them sat at the dining table, quietly watching the French lamb chops on a white plate.
how to say?
Li Hanzhi was a little afraid to start. Although the mutton chop was similar to what he usually eats, the presentation was completely high-end. If you ignore its darker color than ordinary mutton chops, and the smell that popped into his nose from time to time.
If it tastes like coffee.
"You don't want to eat?" Tang Yuan asked, not caring about Li Hanzhi's changing face. "You don't want to eat, and I eat?" There were only three pieces of lamb chops, and he had to settle for the chicken chops. As he said that, he picked up the chicken chops.
When you pick up your plate, you have to change it with him.
"No, no, no," Li Hanzhi quickly protected what was in front of him, "I didn't say I wouldn't eat, I... I can't wait for my two brothers to make the first move?" He turned to Su Ji and Wei Li, closing his eyes and not looking at them.
There's no need to guess at his face. They must be grinning and want to kill him.
"Huh?" Tang Yuan also turned to the two of them.
What a scammer! Su Ji almost ground his silver teeth to pieces. He scolded Li Hanzhi a hundred times in his heart. When he met Tang Yuan's half-smiling eyes, he quickly licked his smiling face and said, "I'll eat it right now."
Wei Li on the other side pushed up his glasses and took the lead in picking up the knife and fork. The knife scratched the surface of the meat. Before he could exert any force, the meat juice in the package overflowed. He sniffed carefully, and after the aroma of the coffee passed, Wei Li pushed up his glasses.
, it has a strong meaty aroma.
He cut a small piece without hesitation and put it in his mouth...
The aroma of the lamb chops is a very strong and overbearing aroma, and combined with the taste of coffee, it actually reveals a freshness and lightness. The oil has been completely fused into the middle of the meat after frying and stewing, making the meat plump and chewy.
Take another bite of the cherry tomato, well... the sweet juice bursts in your mouth, mixing with the delicious aroma of the mutton...
He raised his head, and a light flashed under his lenses: "Pour me a glass of wine."
