2246 The fragrance of Hunan cuisine
The spiciness mixed with umami kept drilling into his nose. Du Yundong couldn’t wait to observe it in detail. He picked up his chopsticks and pushed away the thick layer of spiciness on the surface, revealing the fish meat that was already slightly dyed red.
He picked up a piece of meat near the cheek. The fish skin was black with a tinge of red, and the fish meat was as white as Jade. It was slightly steaming. Not only was it fragrant, but it also looked very nice.
As soon as he stuffed it into his mouth, an extremely spicy taste spread out on the tip of his tongue. However, it was immediately replaced by a fresh and sweet taste. His tongue, which had just been baptized by the spicy taste, welcomed a fresh and sweet taste. The spiciness highlighted this fresh and sweet taste, bringing the fresh and delicious taste of the fish to the extreme.
“The combination of fish and chili is perfect for me. No matter if it’s a little more or less, it will overshadow the main dish. Now that they complement each other, they are both spicy and fresh. The taste is excellent.” After du Yundong finished his first bite, he immediately went to take a second bite. His chopsticks could not stop moving.
Meng Guangping and Ding Yang watched as du Yundong ate mouthful after mouthful. He was very engrossed. The two of them looked at each other and secretly picked up their chopsticks. When they were not paying attention, they picked up a piece of fish and put it in their mouths.
The two of them had the same expression, and their eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious. Then, they couldn’t help but reach out with their chopsticks again, and their speed increased.
Little Yu, who was at the side, was also envious, but he didn’t have the guts to snatch the leader’s food. He could only swallow his saliva.
No matter how big the head of the armadillo was, it couldn’t withstand the three people’s eating. Soon, there was only an empty set of fish bones left. The few of them were crazy. The last bit of chili was dipped in the meat and eaten. It was so spicy that they couldn’t bear to stop even if they drank water.
“Why are there so few?” Du Yundong was a little dumbfounded when he saw that there was nothing left on the plate.
He was too engrossed in the food just now and really didn’t notice that Meng Guangping and Ding Yang had eaten his fish. Du Yundong sat in the middle, while Meng Guangping and Ding Yang sat on his sides. It was indeed hard to notice if they were hidden.
“It’s indeed not a lot. ” Ding Yang replied, his mind as steady as an old dog.
Just as they were feeling regretful, Meng Guangping’s dishes arrived. The first dish was Yongzhou blood duck.
This was also a home-cooked dish of Hunan cuisine, a dish that almost every household in Yongzhou knew how to cook. To be honest, this dish was stir-fried with duck blood, so it definitely didn’t look good. This was because the duck blood would change color when heated, directly turning brown and looking a little black. How could a black dish look good?
However, the blood duck that su Ruoyan served was beyond everyone’s expectations. Other than the fact that the duck’s color was dark brown and different from the usual brown, it did not seem to be any different from other stir-fried ducks. Instead, it looked very beautiful against the red and green chili.
“This duck blood is very well stir-fried.” Meng Guangping took a closer look and realized that the duck blood had wrapped up the pieces of meat, so there were no blood clots that would affect the appearance.
He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The first thing he felt was the duck blood. Meng Guangping thought that the duck blood would be dry after being fried like this, but it was not. The blood stuck to the surface of the duck meat was very small, and each of them had a moist feeling.
On the other hand, the duck skin was tight, the duck meat was soft and tender, and with the spiciness of the chili, the feeling was progressive. Before the first feeling was over, another experience began, taking turns, and it was wonderful.
“As expected of the blood duck. The fusion was just right. Every step was calculated and the control of the fire was controlled to the extreme. I’m not as good as it.” Meng Guangping said.
“Is that so? then I’ll try it too.” Without waiting for Meng Guangping to speak, du Yundong, who had wanted to eat for a long time, picked up his chopsticks.
On the side, Ding Yang naturally reached out his chopsticks to pick up the duck. There was no reason for him to eat du Yundong’s duck and not Meng Guangping ‘S. He was looking down on his friends. It was not appropriate to favor one over the other. He, Ding Yang, was determined not to do such a thing.
As soon as the duck meat entered his mouth, du Yundong knew that Meng Guangping was right. It was indeed very good. It was a completely different experience from the fish head with chopped pepper just now. The same thing was that they were both delicious.
“You guys eat slowly!” Meng Guangping, who had been immersed in the delicious taste, immediately cried out when he saw the two shameless old men moving their chopsticks quickly. The duck meat was decreasing at a visible rate.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention. Meng Guangping could only speed up, afraid that he would eat less.
Although a plate of blood duck seemed to be a lot, it couldn’t be eaten by three people. Moreover, it was extremely fast, and it was gone in a short time.
It was probably Ding Yang’s turn to get lucky. The next dish to be served was Ding Yang ‘s. His dish didn’t have much fragrance, and they didn’t know it was served until it was brought to them.
In the green bowl, white and tender lotus seeds floated on top of the noodles, covering the entire bowl. The situation below could not be seen clearly. The soup that was vaguely revealed was a little brown, not colorless or white. Also, upon closer inspection, there were a little yellow and flesh-colored pulp under the White and tender color. It should be pineapple and longan meat.
This candied Lotus could actually be considered as a dessert.
They had just finished two very strong-tasting dishes, and now they were served sweet desserts. Naturally, it was the enjoyment of the tongue.
Ding Yang couldn’t care about anything else. He picked up the matching green Spoon and put a spoonful into his mouth. The first thing he ate was the Lotus seed.
The Lotus seed had already been removed from the core and steamed before being soaked in the crystal sugar water to soak in the soup. Therefore, the first feeling when it was put in the mouth was that it was moist. Then, the teeth bit on the soft and sticky texture with a little fragrance of Lotus. It was indeed worthy of being the ‘clear heart with the fragrance of a small lotus’ White Lotus.
After removing the core, the Lotus seed was not bitter, but had a little fragrance. With the seasoning of rock sugar, fresh fruit, and longans, it made people feel sweet and soft.
“The Lotus seeds are fresh, tender, and soft. The soup is sweet but not greasy. The pineapple has a little fruit acid, and the best longan meat is used to neutralize it. The proportion of each ingredient is just right.” Ding Yang said as he ate.
He even described in detail the feeling of each ingredient. He was afraid that the two next to him didn’t know the same. He had no choice but to share a small bowl and a spoon. Even if Meng Guangping and du Yundong wanted to eat it, they couldn’t do it. It was also not good to put down their airs and snatch it. It was really beneath their status.
Of course, if he didn’t remember that he still had to discuss something with Yuan Zhou after the dinner and wanted to leave a good impression, it would be hard to say whether he would snatch it or not.
Not to mention Meng Guangping, the most pitiful one was definitely little Yu. He was already weak and pitiful, and now he couldn’t even hold back the saliva in his mouth.
“Gudong, gudong.”
He could only watch as Ding Yang ate, and he would just drink some water.
He had originally taken a big gulp, but when the water entered his mouth, he realized that the water was different.
“This water doesn’t seem cheap. I’d better drink it slowly.” Little Yu thought.
Although he was an office worker, he often dealt with chefs, so he had a good eye. He didn’t know the specific situation of the water, but The Taste of Money was still very obvious.
Little Yu, who even had to save water, finally waited for his food to arrive.
Little Yu was so excited that he almost burst into tears. It really wasn’t easy.
The first dish he served wasn’t grandma’s dish, but the egg with flower mushrooms. This was a famous dish in Star City, and Xiao Yu was a native of Star City.
Besides the stinky tofu that he liked to eat on the streets and alleys of Star City, this was the only dish he liked.
