Dry-fried fragrant Sichuan peppercorns and sea salt, ground finely with a stone grinder, become the best combination with eggplant, salt and pepper.
When the eggplant boxes exuding a fiery smell are served on the table, they will inevitably come with such a small plate of salt and pepper, which also reflects Zhao Youqian's careful attention to the different needs of each guest.
Especially the portion given to White Beard, almost one-third of the eggplant box was used. It’s not that I can’t give more, but for a body like Whitebeard, one-third of the eggplant box is already used. enough.
Of course, in order to take care of the children's taste, Zhao Youqian also specially prepared ketchup for Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Nannan.
It's just that when the strange-looking, golden-yellow eggplant with a little bit of brown in it came to the table, most people didn't notice Zhao Youqian's intentions, but he didn't really care about it.
Because considering that each diner's meal is the chef's business, whether the diner pays attention or not is secondary.
In fact, the eggplants used by Zhao Youqian were not too small anymore, but when they fell in front of the five- to six-meter-tall White Beard, each eggplant box was still only the size of his knuckles.
Fortunately, it's not too young anymore. Even so, Baibeard still has to eat five or six in one go to fully enjoy the taste and texture of the eggplant, otherwise it will be all gone after just two chews.
It was precisely for this reason that Zhao Youqian gave Whitebeard a full third of the entire eggplant box.
Hong Qigong, who was already a little drunk, couldn't help but take down his chopsticks as soon as the eggplant box was served. He had tasted similar food, but what about the eggplant box...
That was really the first time I tried it.
The attractive golden batter has a unique aroma of being fried over high heat. When you pick it up, you can feel the crispiness caused by the influx of air.
The expanded batter is not particularly crispy, but it still has a crispy texture that is hard to match with ordinary fried batter.
Hong Qigong has eaten fried food at Zhutian Restaurant a few times, but if he really wants to compare with the crispy batter skin of this eggplant box, the crispy skin of the roasted pork last time can be compared.
Even his drunkenness subsided a little because of this fried eggplant box. He couldn't help but lick his tongue. As an old gourmet, Hong Qigong sat upright and dipped the plate of salt and pepper that came with it. He put it into his mouth, and then he bit it with his teeth, and most of it fell into his mouth.
In an instant, he felt the crispy texture of the thin batter, and then immediately there was a layer of softness that seemed to have nothing to bite into, and then at the end, the elasticity and delicious gravy of the meat filling appeared. Explode!
"This... why does the taste have such a wonderful feeling..."
"It's like the space is changing, layer by layer!"
Hong Qigong showed an expression of disbelief, and there was also a strange power in his body, slowly transforming his foundation, like the confluence of the earth, subtly changing his martial body.
Yes, after Hong Yi's human-immortal martial arts and the collision of some systems from other worlds, Hong Qigong has once again opened up a path in the martial arts that he has reached the end of.
However, even his stupid disciple who is the best in martial arts has only just caught up with him. According to his own estimation, his martial arts has just reached a small level, and Guo Jing has spent decades to refine his internal strength. Help him get started in martial arts.
However, the benefits after getting started are obvious. Not only is the physical fitness greatly improved, but it is also easier to cultivate internal strength several times. Even the appearance and five senses have made great progress.
Therefore, Hong Qigong was truly at the forefront of his world. Even with no opponent, he even left the closest person a few blocks away.
Moreover, Hong Qigong also had a vague feeling that with the establishment of his martial body, the whole world seemed to be slowly changing.
As an existence that has transcended the limitations of the world, Hong Qigong noticed something that few people knew about, but it seemed to be developing in a good direction.
But he didn't expect that this dish that Zhao You cooked could help him solidify his foundation once again, as it was completely beyond the scope of his original martial arts.
Of course, Hong Qigong hadn't considered this yet. What really shocked him was the change in taste conveyed by the eggplant box.
Just like jumping in space, the occasional sense of space and the inexplicable illusion produced in the mouth are simply fascinating.
"What kind of food is this?!"
Whitebeard's performance was even more amazing than Hong Qigong's. He didn't expect that just one dish would actually make him feel the air bursting. Not to mention, he also began to repair his hidden wounds in his body, and even helped him to grow old. A clear spring of life is injected into it.
Only then did he suddenly realize why the other regular customers turned a blind eye to the hidden wounds on his body and didn't even mean to mention it.
He thought it was the first time for everyone to meet and they were not familiar with each other yet, but now he thought he guessed wrong.
But as long as he tasted the food here, the injuries on his body were nothing at all.
‘This...is really good luck! Gu la la la (laughing)!!’
“The taste is impeccable, but the key is the texture. It actually made me feel as if the air was bursting!”
"Incredible, incredible!"
"Goo la la la!"
Loud laughter broke out, and Whitebeard started drinking heavily, making people wonder whether he had something good and wanted to drink it with it, or whether he took the opportunity to snatch half of the wine on the table first.
Anyway, after noticing Whitebeard's actions, both Zhen Yuanzhai and Hong Qigong took strict care of the bottles of wine in front of them.
The drunkards were noisy over there, while a few people on the other side who seemed quite quiet were savoring the works that Zhao Youqian added his own ideas to.
"It's not the feeling of air, but the effect of frying the eggplant until it feels like air!"
Hong Yi carefully tasted an eggplant box and finally gave his conclusion.
The Heavenly Master also nodded at the same time.
"But it's not just the eggplant, but also the soup that comes out of the eggplant itself and combines with the meat filling. The deliciousness gives people the illusion that they have touched the meat filling without touching anything."
"This is the illusion that separates the general sense of space, the hidden secret!"
Opposite them, Nuliang Huaiao silently drank another glass of wine.
Then he uttered two words.
"good!"
Then they continued to drink, while Hong Yi and Lao Tianshi looked at each other and smiled.
For this being, being able to give an evaluation already shows how good Zhao Youqian's dish tastes.
Especially with the addition of creativity such as the illusion of space, an ordinary home-cooked dish has been upgraded to a realm that is completely beyond the grasp of an ordinary cook.
It’s even enough to amaze cooks in the gourmet world!
