Gu Zheng prepared three dishes and one soup. According to the original plan, there were four dishes and one soup, but there were not enough ingredients, so he had to give up.
Three dishes and one soup. As long as they eat well, there is no problem, but it is a bit difficult to eat full. Fortunately, the test is only to conquer their taste buds, not to fill their stomachs, otherwise they will not be able to start the meal today.
Take out the sesame oil and put the salt and soy sauce.
After visiting the market for so long and evaluating thousands of various ingredients, Gu Zheng also had a rough understanding of the grade of Taoxian's ingredients. First of all, the ingredients must be purely natural. Any additives or chemical ingredients would lower the grade of the ingredients.
Not up to standard.
With this understanding, Gu Zheng finally made the right choice when it came to salt and soy sauce.
Both items were purchased from a high-end seasoning store. The salt is imported pure seaweed salt produced in the waters of Peru. Each grain of salt has been refined and processed through thirteen procedures. It not only tastes fresher, but also contains many nutrients.
Minerals that are beneficial to the human body. The owner of that store recognized Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng wrote a review for a good material and helped him gain business, so he gave him an extremely favorable price, one hundred and eighty-one bags.
One hundred grams per bag.
For the soy sauce, I chose Yupin soy sauce from Fujian. Gu Zheng has never used this soy sauce, but his father has used it and he has a certain understanding of this soy sauce.
The raw material of Yupin soy sauce is the finest non-GMO soybeans. He and his father went to the place where soybeans were grown when they were young. It is in the mountains. In order to ensure the purity of soybeans, this land never allows any pollution.
, fertilizers are also purely natural, and artificial insecticides are used, even if the yield is reduced.
In addition to the strict raw materials, the utensils for brewing soy sauce are also very particular. They are all sauce vats that have been passed down for hundreds of years. The brewing technique is unique to them. Not to mention ancient disputes, even his father does not know about it.
The best raw materials, the best craftsmanship, and the best price. A 125 ml bottle of imperial soy sauce costs 200 yuan. Gu Zheng bought two bottles. Adding sesame oil and salt cost him more than 1,000 yuan.
Yuan, this money is enough for them to go to a big restaurant and have a good meal.
The black-bone chicken soup simmered for a while, and Gu Zheng began to prepare the stir-fry.
"Snapped!"
The bottle of sesame oil was very ordinary. It opened with a slight pull. When the bottle was opened, an alluring fragrance hit his nose. Gu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and closed his eyes unnaturally.
The fragrance spreads three hundred miles after opening the bottle. This small ground sesame oil did not spread that far, but the whole house was already filled with this fragrance.
"Gu Zheng, what are you doing? Why does it smell so good?"
"Yes, is this oil? I have never smelled such a nice fragrance!"
"Gu Zheng, please close the kitchen door. We didn't eat at noon because of your big meal. Now we are even hungrier after smelling this fragrance!"
The scent of sesame oil attracted Wang Tao and the others. The three of them stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Gu Zheng pitifully. Gu Zheng himself was also very surprised by the scent of the sesame oil. He knew that this sesame oil must be better than what he squeezed.
Okay, but he didn't expect it to be so fragrant, even he was shocked.
"Wait outside!"
Gu Zheng stepped forward and closed the sliding door of the kitchen. Fortunately, this was not an open kitchen. Otherwise, smelling the aroma but not being able to eat would definitely be a torture for Wang Tao and the others.
The sesame oil is very fragrant. You get what you pay for. The fifty yuan spent is worth it. Gu Zheng is also glad that he bought all the sesame oil and even went to the address of the person who made the sesame oil.
When stir-frying with sesame oil, do not stir-fry for too long and the pot should not be overheated.
Gu Zheng's kitchen utensils were made of high-quality alloys purchased in France. The pans were non-stick and smoke-free. Gu Zheng poured some sesame oil and quickly passed through the chopped black-bone chicken pieces. When the oil was passed through, the rich aroma came out through the gaps.
The three of them, Wang Tao and Wang Tao, couldn't sit still anymore and stood up together, walking around outside the kitchen.
“Gu Zheng said he would cook the most delicious food for us, and it’s true!”
"Not to mention eating, I have never smelled this fragrance. Is it because Gu Zheng's cooking skills have improved greatly during this period, or because we haven't eaten at his place for a long time?"
"Don't worry about anything, just have something delicious!"
The three of them kept talking outside and sniffing from time to time. They were even more looking forward to today's feast.
The chicken is oiled and then simmered in the pot. The chicken is just coated with a layer of yellow-brown sesame oil, as if it is shining golden and exudes an alluring fragrance.
Onions, ginger...
Well, not at all. All the green onions and ginger on the market are unqualified. Gu Zheng doesn’t have time to go to the pollution-free base to look for these ingredients, so he can only discard them. Fortunately, today’s dishes don’t have much demand for green onions and ginger, so they can be used.
Others will make up for it.
When the chicken was simmered until it was medium-rare, Gu Zheng opened the lid of the pot and poured honey in. The sweetness of the honey and the mellow aroma of the sesame oil instantly combined, rushing out of the pot and pouring into Gu Zheng's nostrils.
The fragrant fragrance made Gu Zheng inhale unnaturally. He had never smelled this kind of fragrance before, and he had never experienced such a comfortable fragrance even in the dishes made by his father.
The fragrance is sweet, like walking among flowers, comfortable and elegant.
"smell good!"
Outside the kitchen, the three of them were stunned for a moment. Gu Zheng had already closed the lid of the pot after pouring the honey, but the moment he opened it just now, the scent inevitably came out.
"I suggest that we go outside and wait. If we wait here, we will die of panic!"
Du Yang suddenly said something, and now he wished he could rush to the kitchen to taste it first, to see what kind of food could have such a fragrance.
"I agree!" Wang Tao immediately supported.
"We are all out. How do we know when Gu Zheng will be ready? How can we eat this delicious meal as soon as possible?"
Zhao Yongkui said in confusion. If the three of them went out, they would be able to stop smelling the fragrance here and not be in a hurry. But at the same time, they would not know the progress of Gu Zheng's cooking. Just smelling the fragrance would know that something must be delicious, and they would not be able to do it in time.
It would be a great pity to eat it.
"How about we go out and wait separately, and whoever is ready to wait here will call and let you know right away?"
Du Yang said something again, and the three people looked at each other and suddenly shook their heads together.
Waiting in turns is one way, but who can guarantee that he won't eat first when the food is served? When they came in, Gu Zhengke told them that today's dishes focus on taste and the quantity is not too much. Just let everyone eat well. This is also
Gu Zheng was vaccinated in advance.
Knowing that the portion was small and smelling such a fragrance, they all wanted to eat it first. The other two would not be at ease if anyone stayed behind, so the proposal was rejected again.
Gu Zheng didn't know about the dispute outside. When making honey chicken, he started steaming sorghum rice. The water used to wash and steam the sorghum rice was all iceberg mineral water from the Alps. In terms of the purchase price, the water was expensive.
More expensive than sorghum rice.
The dishes and rice are all prepared in an orderly manner, and a few people outside are still discussing what to do, smelling the aroma and looking forward to the delicious food in Guzheng, and the real joy and pain are juxtaposed.
