Looking at the two triumphant women, Han Peacock smiled and said: "Is it almost time to eat?"
"How can you be full with only six small mouthfuls of beef?" Zhou Meiren looked at Han Peacock and said.
Han Kongque said: "Not full? Then have some more ham! It's really as thin as a cicada's wings and melts in your mouth."
Following the sound of Han Peacock, another waiter brought over a piece of ham. Thin slices of meat were placed on the plate. It looked like a lot, but it was eaten very quickly. A few slices for each of them were gone.
After finishing eating, Zhou Meiren said: "You really paid attention this time. Everything was carefully selected, but I always feel that something is missing."
Liu Xu said: "I also feel it. If this is Spanish ham, there is a problem. You must know that Spanish ham is called the best ham in the world. It needs to be stored for about 3 years before it can be eaten. This ham reaches that level.
Is it level?"
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Can't you reach it?"
Zhou Meiren said: "Is this really Spanish ham? I saw a piece of news a few days ago that the world's most expensive Iberian ham was sold in the UK. Each piece weighs seven kilograms and sells for 1,800 pounds (about 20,000 yuan).
RMB, equivalent to nearly RMB 2,900 per kilogram).
This batch of hams was sold at Selfridges department store on Oxford Street in London. Each ham has a genetic certificate to prove its authenticity. You didn’t buy it at that time, right?”
Liu Xu said: "Don't be deceived by Han Peacock. I have eaten Ibérico ham several times, and it is definitely not the same taste as just now. Although the ham we ate today is very good, it doesn't seem to be as good as Ibérico ham.
Besides, even if you buy it, there won’t be a ham chef here who specializes in cutting ham.”
The production of Spanish ham is not complicated, it mainly relies on curing, but cutting the ham does require a certain amount of effort.
There are ham chefs in Spain who specialize in cutting ham, which not only requires a certain amount of talent, but also requires four or five years of professional training.
In Spain, the skill of a ham chef is no less than that of a chef who cooks large dishes. A ham chef usually has to learn the basic theoretical foundation in school for one year before he can practice it.
The theoretical course mainly focuses on understanding the growth of pig bones and muscles. Since pig breeds are different, the composition of muscles and bones is also different, so you must understand the breed before proceeding.
The cutting knife can be said to be an important tool for the ham chef. Senior chefs usually have to equip themselves with as many as seven or eight, depending on the type of pig, the part of the meat, and the time of the meat. The cutting knives used are different. If you are not careful in advance,
Check and cut or slice the meat with one knife. Then you will have to deduct a lot of points in the exam, or even fail.
As a rule, the ham maker has to cut the ham into slices as thin as possible, but the size of the ham's cross-section must also be considered, and neither cutting nor holes can appear in the middle.
It seems easy to master this technique, but the actual operation is different, so Liuxu has doubts.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "At this time, someone fell asleep last night and had the incision while sleepwalking."
Liu Xu glared at Han Kongque and said, "It is absolutely impossible for me to sleepwalk. Although I can cut such high-quality meat slices, I definitely did not cut it."
Zhou Meiren said: "Stop being too pretentious and tell me what happened today?"
Han Kongque said with a smile: "It all depends on Liu Catkin. Let Meili Liu taste the last ham carefully, especially the knife skills of the ham."
Another plate of ham was brought up, but this time there was still a small amount of it. Maybe it was because this kind of ham was particularly delicious, so the three of them ate it up after a few more bites.
After finishing eating, Liuxu said: "This is too little. Isn't it restricted for sale here?"
Han Peacock said with a smile: "No matter how good the food is, you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, it will be boring."
"It's just like the steak just now. Although it's small, every bite is so delicious." Zhou Meiren said.
Liu Xu said: "Okay, don't eat anymore. The cutting skills of this kind of ham are really good, definitely not worse than the ham masters trained by the Spaniards for four to five years."
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Not only is the knife skill good, but the production process of this batch of hams is also not simple. For this batch of hams, the researchers in the laboratory carefully selected fifty pigs and then let them live in a specific environment.
, and must be fed with special feed to make the ham taste different.
When he grew up, the butcher slaughtered fifty pigs, cut off the pig legs, and salted them for three years before using them. This batch of ham melted in your mouth and was very delicious. Although it was expensive, it was not the same as the process of making ham.
The effort and time spent are truly worth it.”
Zhou Meiren said: "The quality of ham mainly depends on the raw material pig. The pigs used for the best ham are made by the Spaniards by mating wild boars and domestic pigs. The color is black, and the darker the better. In addition, the breeding of pigs
It is also a university question.
To make ham, pigs must be bred in the wild. This type of pig likes to eat a fruit called peyota. Pigs that grow up eating this fruit will have white fat and almost zero cholesterol content.
The pigs used for curing ham only use hind legs, which generally need to be cured for 8 to 36 months. The longer the curing time, the stronger the flavor. If you want to learn this skill from the Spanish,
It doesn’t seem to be easy.”
Han Peacock clapped his hands again, and foie gras and truffle mushroom soup were brought up.
Liu Xu and Zhou Meiren stopped talking and began to taste the delicious food carefully. Needless to say, the foie gras and truffle mushroom soup looked inconspicuous, but they tasted rare and delicious.
"Do you still want dessert?" Han Peacock asked after finishing eating.
Zhou Meiren said: "I don't want to eat anymore, I'm already full."
Liu Xu said: "So, doesn't it mean that there is no chance for Han Peacock to perform? Let's serve some fruit!"
At this time, a waiter brought a piece of fruit, but it was a small tomato.
Looking at the two people who were a little shocked, Han Kongque said proudly: "I didn't expect it to be a cherry tomato, right?" Cherry tomatoes are good things. They can be used as both vegetables and fruits. The hawkers contain special substances such as glutathione and lycopene.
Substances can promote the growth and development of the human body, especially the growth and development of children, increase the body's resistance, and delay human aging.
In addition, lycopene can protect the human body from carcinogenic toxins in cigarettes and car exhaust, and can improve the human body's sun protection function. It can be an effective treatment and prevention for cancer prevention and anti-cancer, especially prostate cancer. Try
Try it, it’s delicious.”
"What kind of trick are you playing? Why have you been eating this kind of anti-cancer food these days? If I weren't a doctor, I would have thought I had cancer, and you were giving me diet therapy!" Liu Xu said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "If you don't have cancer, you don't need to eat this kind of anti-cancer food?"
"Anyway, I feel abnormal when I look at you. Also, if you can make foie gras yourself, but you can't make Spanish ham, and if you cultivate this small tomato yourself, then Japan's Kobe beef,
You will never be able to cultivate it, and now you are very strange, you know?" Liuxu looked at Han Peacock and said.
Han Peacock just laughed and didn't say anything. Looking at him like that, Zhou Meiren was a little confused: "These things require a specific environment and a long period of breeding to obtain. Even a ham cutter needs several ham cutters."
It takes years to cultivate it, Han Peacock, please don’t tell us that you have spent several years on such a boring thing."
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside, which immediately attracted the attention of Liu Xu and Zhou Meiren to the outside.
"Someone is getting married? Is this the sound of a cannon?" Liu Xu said in surprise as he looked at the salutes that exploded one after another in the sky not far away.
At this time, Han Kongque said: "Maybe a hospital has opened!"
"Hospital?" Liu Xu and Zhou Meiren's eyes were all focused on Han Peacock.
Han Peacock pointed outside. At this time, on another building opposite this building, many balloons were floating with many banners underneath.
"The Miracle Medical Hospital Affiliated to Longdao University of Science and Technology?" Liu Xu stood up in surprise.
Han Peacock also stood up, walked to the window, looked at the rising banners, and said: "The experimental subjects in Satan's Laboratory are not all boring. They have still achieved some results."
"Imitation Kobe beef? Isn't it boring to do this?" Zhou Meiren asked.
LiuXu also said: "How dare you let us eat this kind of product produced in a laboratory?"
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Don't think that it is produced in a laboratory. It is an authentic souvenir from Devil's Island. I am not willing to eat much of it. I specially sent it here for you to taste today."
"What's going on with Spanish ham?" Liu Catkin asked.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "The ham was made by Satan or Boshanka's laboratory. Don't worry, their technical level is very high. The ham we eat is produced by black pigs raised on the island. As for
Knife skills are the skills of the surgeons in this hospital. How about it? The skills of your subordinates are pretty good, right?"
"This hospital is not small. Are you sure it's not empty inside?" Liu Xu turned her head and looked at Han Kongque.
Han Kongque said seriously: "I have been preparing for so long, so I will give you an empty shell? Are you looking down on me too much?"
"Why is it called the Affiliated Hospital?" Liu Xu asked.
Han Kongque said: "Because there is also a university of science and technology on the island, it is called the Divine Medical Hospital Affiliated to Longdao University of Science and Technology."
"Where do the professors in the university come from? You wouldn't be willing to release the researchers in the laboratory, would you?" Liu Xu said with a surprised look on his face.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "What's wrong with that? Many of them are quite old. Due to their long time in the laboratory, their minds have become too simple. If they are not released, what will happen to them?"
They are not fair, so I can only put them into school. Compared with the complex society outside, university is simpler after all."
"Aren't you afraid that those simple researchers will be deceived?" Liu Xu rolled her eyes at Han Peacock and said. (To be continued...)
