Time passed little by little, and the fragrance in the kitchen gradually became stronger.
The crowd also started talking.
"This aroma is really unique. It is completely different from the aroma of ordinary food. I have never smelled it before." Someone sniffed and was quite curious.
Some people even swallowed their saliva frequently, "We haven't tried any taste. If we eat too much, it will be boring. But the smell of this smell is very attractive. It's just the simplest seasoning, but it can be made."
I can’t imagine such a fragrance, I really can’t understand it.”
Some people have a mixed understanding of medicinal foods and explain: "This medicinal material is also a natural seasoning. As long as it is used properly, it can not only cure diseases, but the taste is also outstanding."
"It seems that this little girl is really capable. Just being able to make so many medicinal meals is not easy."
Xu Lan was so busy that she didn't hear these discussions. She was now completely immersed in the beautiful music between the ingredients.
"This deer antler stewed sheep kidney. The first thing is the fishy smell of the sheep. Cut the sheep kidneys open, remove the smelly membrane, wash away the smell of urine, cut into slices, and stir-fry it in an oil pan for a while to remove the smell.
.
Then moisten the velvet antler and slice it, dry it and grind it into powder. Put the dodder seeds and cumin into a gauze bag and tie the mouth.
Then put the medicine bag, green onions, ginger, cooking wine and salt into the pot, pour in water, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, then simmer over low heat until the sheep kidneys are cooked.
When the pot is finally out of the pot, remove the medicine bag, green onions, and ginger, sprinkle in minced velvet antler, bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper."
The chefs who were watching at that time had already regarded this competition as a demonstration. Everyone watched it carefully. Some people even asked questions directly when they encountered something they didn't understand.
At this time, everyone had forgotten their previous dissatisfaction with the master spoon.
Master Tang and Master Wu also stood together and watched. Master Tang couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "This little girl has potential and knows the ingredients and medicinal materials very accurately."
Master Wu snorted, "Need you to tell me? I don't have eyes?"
Master Tang chuckled and didn't care. He said what was in his heart, "I would like to accept her as a disciple. Although she still needs some training, she is still young and will definitely make great progress with a master to guide her."
He could tell that Xu Lan's techniques were wild, and he must have figured them out by himself.
Master Wu glanced at Master Tang and said nothing, but his eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.
Xu Lan, who was being talked about by them, also began to expose the blame one after another.
"Princeserum jellyfish soup, Morinda wine, duck with cordyceps, fried lamb loin with Eucommia ulmoides, lamb kidney stewed with deer antler, braised shrimp with curculigo, Dipsacus loose tea, peanut and longan paste."
Xu Lan brought all the dishes to the table, and then said to everyone: "Seniors, please taste them."
At that time, the kitchen was already filled with fragrance, and many people were so greedy that their mouths were watering, and they couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks as soon as the dishes were served.
Of course, they also understand seniority, so they didn't rush to reach out, but gave up two gaps.
Master Tang and Master Wu walked forward slowly. After looking at each dish one by one, they smelled it next to each other. They both nodded. It must be said that the medicinal diet made by Xu Lan was very unique.
It seems that they all use the simplest techniques, and some even only add salt and sauce, but the clever proportions and the combination of the aroma of the medicinal materials stimulate each other to create a wonderful and unique aroma.
The two began to use chopsticks.
After the two of them tried the eight dishes, from tea to soup to vegetables to wine and finally to snacks, they remained silent for a long time.
Although it is a medicinal diet, not all the flavors are bland. On the contrary, they are both sour, sweet, bitter and spicy. But these flavors are completely different from ordinary flavors. No matter what flavor, as long as you taste it carefully, you can taste different aromas.
It surprised the two of them.
If the taste of the ingredients themselves is one point, then adding the medicinal materials and combining them, the taste becomes two points, or even more. In short, more flavors of the ingredients and medicinal materials are stimulated, and the seasoning is weak.
Can be ignored.
Others were already attracted by the aroma and couldn't hold back, but the two masters remained calm.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Master Tang, Master Wu, how are you doing?"
Master Tang smacked his lips and said with endless aftertaste, "It's delicious. It tastes completely different from ordinary dishes. It tastes very fresh."
Master Wu put down his chopsticks and said to Xu Land: "Girl, if you are willing, you can become my teacher. Although your medicinal diet has its own characteristics, your skills are still lacking. As long as you accept me as your teacher, I will teach you everything you have."
"
Master Tang's face suddenly darkened, and he grabbed Master Wu's arm: "Hey, you old guy, why are you robbing someone?"
Then he said to Xu Land: "Girl, please accept me as your teacher. I am much better than this old guy. He was my defeat when he was young."
"A good man doesn't talk about his bravery in the past. It's an old story from many years ago. It's not embarrassing to bring it up." Master Wu said unceremoniously.
Seeing the two master chefs arguing again, the others ignored them and took their chopsticks one after another.
For a moment, there were endless exclamations in the kitchen room.
Xu Lan was also very happy to be recognized by the two seniors, and her self-confidence has grown a lot.
But being stared at by two old masters, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Of course it was good to have a master, but she had never really learned how to cook, and she felt that there were still many shortcomings. Without a master to guide her, she would definitely have taken many detours.
But now with two masters in front of her, how could she dare to express her opinion? In fact, she didn't know how to choose.
When Xu Lanzheng didn't know what to do, he heard a crisp sound.
"Sister Lan, why don't you worship both masters?"
Xu Lan turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Third, you are here."
Qingyu and Shi'an walked into the kitchen.
At this time, everyone else also knew Qingyu's identity and greeted him one after another.
Qingyu and Shi'an returned the greetings one by one, then came to Xu Lan's side, raised their heads and said to Master Tang and Master Wu: "Since you two have taken a fancy to Sister Lan's talent, don't care about it.
The two of you have been fighting for half your life. If you accept a disciple together in the second half of your life, this fate will continue into the next life."
Tang and Wu looked at each other displeasedly, and then Master Tang took the lead and said, "I don't care whether she wants to be someone else's master, but she must be her master."
Master Wu rolled his eyes angrily, "If I meet you again in the next life, then I really won't be reincarnated. But this girl has talent, it would be a pity to waste it like this." He did not fight for the sophomore master.
Xu Lan looked at Qing Yu and saw him nodding, and then hurriedly kowtowed with Tang Wu and paid homage to him.
After finishing their apprenticeship, Qing Yucai and Shi An left. She actually just stopped by to see how Xu Lan was going.
The two came to Xu Sanniang's residence on Guangping Street. They didn't wait long until Xu Sanniang came back from selling tofu.
When Xu Sanniang saw Qingyu and Shi'an standing at the door, she hurriedly stepped forward, opened the door and invited the two into the hospital, "Miss Third must have made the right calculation. I just received Ying'er's reply."
Qingyu smiled, but didn't deny it.
Xu Sanniang put down the carrying pole, poured tea for the two of them, and then took out Xu Ying's reply letter and handed it to Qingyu.
