Mag has always thought that since she came to this world, her tolerance for food has improved a lot, and she has been able to fully adapt to the impact of food from different dimensions, and calmly accept their advantages and disadvantages.
but……
He seemed to have overestimated himself a little.
Therefore, when the mouthful of mutton entered his mouth and the smell of mutton rushed straight to his forehead, he still couldn't control his mouth and spit it out.
There was a sudden silence in the restaurant.
Harrison and Georgi stared with shocked and slightly embarrassed expressions.
Layton blushed and lowered his head, not knowing where to put his hands in embarrassment.
Moore, on the other hand, clenched his fists and looked at Mag angrily.
Mag was also very embarrassed. This was indeed beyond his expectation. Such a scene should not have happened.
If in his previous life, any restaurant would have dared to serve such a mutton in front of him, he would have left on the spot.
But now he can't, this is his restaurant.
Moreover, this was originally someone who knew he was lacking and specifically brought mutton to ask for advice. The scene did not fit.
"Ah, this..." Mag put the half piece of mutton on the chopsticks back into the bowl, took out a paper towel and wiped the corners of his mouth. His expression had returned to calmness, and he looked at Leiden and said frankly: "It is indeed a very bad portion. of mutton stew.”
Harrison and Geergi both sweated and looked at each other, suddenly questioning whether they had made the right choice in bringing the Laytons to Boss Mai.
Seeing that Mag's expression was sincere and not sarcastic, Leiden nodded and said, "Yes, compared with the mutton made by Boss Mai, this is indeed terrible."
"No need to compare with me. What I make is mutton soup, and what you make is mutton stew. They are two different dishes." Mag shook his head and said with a smile: "However, even if it is mutton stew, if the smell is so strong, , unless it is a customer with very strong taste, most people should not be able to accept it.”
"How could it be possible? The mutton cooked by my father is obviously very delicious..." Moore said with red eyes and some dissatisfaction. Even if this guy is a great chef, how could he spit out precious mutton?
"Moore, you must respect the people who are teaching and advising you." Layton said seriously, giving Moore a stern look.
"Yes." Moore's expression changed slightly, and he immediately lowered his eyes and stood aside.
"The child is not sensible, please continue talking." Leiden said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, there was something wrong with my performance just now." Mag shook his head disapprovingly. Seeing that Leiden was indeed sincerely asking for advice, he continued: "The people in the City of Chaos have light tastes, although there are many people gathered here. Various races, but after hundreds of years of integration, have formed a moderate and light taste. At this time, spicy hot pot may be a ladle of hot oil that makes many people eager to try it, but the outstanding smell of mutton is not here The ranks belong to beings who will be abandoned and rejected.”
"The temperature of the mutton stew, the texture of the mutton, and the ratio of spices are actually not a big problem, but there is no real conscious effort to remove the mutton smell, which leads to the situation where the aroma and the mutton smell are both important."
"The mutton smell is so bad that I really don't know how to get rid of it," Leighton said honestly.
"Harrison, if you'd like to go buy half of the sheep you bought this morning and the spices you bought, can you help me buy a pound of ginger and half a pound of dried orange peel?" Mag looked at Harrison and asked.
"Let's go now." Harrison went out without saying a word. Within fifteen minutes, he came back with half a sheep and various things.
"It's actually not difficult to get rid of the mutton smell, but most people probably don't know it. Let me demonstrate it to you." Mag carried the half of the sheep into the kitchen, and Leiden was allowed to follow him.
"Thank you." Layton quickly followed, but he didn't expect Mag to be willing to demonstrate in person.
Looking at the large kitchen that was spacious and shining with metallic luster, Leiden and Moore, who was standing at the door, were both bright-eyed. Compared with their earthen pots and earthen stoves, this place was like heaven.
"Removing the mutton smell is an overall project. We can't wait until the mutton is put into the pot and then figure out how to do it. We have to start with processing the mutton." Mag took the knife and chopped half of the sheep into pieces like the Leiden stew. The size of the mutton is poured into a large basin and poured with water.
"In the first step, we chop the mutton into pieces, and then rinse all the blood with clean water. The blood will make the smell worse." Mag poured out the water in the basin and filled it with fresh water. He went back and forth three times until the water was gone. Only when there is almost no color change, pour out the water in the basin.
"Don't rush to get started at this time. Let's cut some ginger, then pour in some wine to marinate the mutton for a while. This step can also eliminate the smell to a certain extent." Mag said while demonstrating.
"Wine? Can any wine be used?" Layton asked. Although ginger also touched his blind spot of knowledge, it was the market but wine that concerned him more.
McGonagall thought for a while and said: "Goat milk wine is absolutely not acceptable, and ordinary fruit wine is not acceptable. You have to find that kind of grain wine, which is more effective at removing the smell."
"Grain wine is a bit unpleasant to drink, but I know where to buy it. I can just keep this bag with me." Harrison said outside.
During the pickling process, Mag poured a pot of water into the large pot on the side, but was not in a hurry to turn on the fire.
"Can it be cooked directly in the pot?" Layton asked.
"No, let's marinate the mutton for about fifteen minutes before putting the mutton in cold water into the pot." Mag shook his head and stared for about fifteen minutes before putting the marinated mutton into the pot and throwing in a few pieces of ginger. , and then opened fire.
"The process of blanching is essential. It can force out the blood and impurities in the mutton, thereby achieving the effect of removing the mutton smell. Adding ginger and cooking wine will have the same effect as pickling." Mag explained while taking the He picked up a spoon and started to beat the foam. "All these foams must be knocked off. This process is also very important."
Leiden watched quietly from the side, remembering everything Mag did.
After all the bubbles were knocked out and no new ones appeared, Mag turned off the fire, took the mutton out of the pot, and poured the large pot of mutton soup.
"Is this rich mutton soup poured like this?" Leiden couldn't help but asked with some regret.
"This first pot of soup is full of stinky smell. If you don't pour it, the stinky smell will not be removed." Mag said calmly, rinsed the mutton with water, then picked up a piece of mutton and handed it to Leiden, "You Smell what has happened to this mutton."
Leiden took the mutton doubtfully, but he wanted to see what happened to the mutton after Mag's operation.
He put the mutton in front of his nose and sniffed it, and was startled.
The strong smell of the mutton has been almost eliminated, but it has a slight fragrance, and the fragrance of the mutton becomes particularly rich.
"The odor is really gone!" Leiden was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. What Mag just did couldn't be said to be difficult, at most it was a bit complicated. He didn't expect that the odor of mutton could really be removed so much. thorough.
"Boss Mai is indeed Boss Mai." Harrison and Geerji also had smiles on their faces.
"Isn't this... too powerful?" Moore's face turned red with embarrassment. He didn't expect Mag to be so powerful.
"This is pre-processing. The next step is to follow your original method of stewing mutton, and then add an extra handful of dried orange peels to stew them together." Mag took the processed mutton and put it in a bamboo basket. He handed it directly to Leiden, "I'll be open at noon soon. The space is limited. I'll leave the rest to you. Give it a try when it's done. If you still have any questions, you can come back. I."
"Thank you so much." Layton took the mutton and bowed deeply to Mag.
"You're welcome, I believe you can use mutton in another way to bring a delicious experience to the people in the City of Chaos." Mag said with a smile: "If the restaurant opens, I will go and try it myself. If If you encounter any difficulties in opening a store, you can come and consult me.”
"thanks, thanks."
Layton took Moore to thank him again and again, and then left with Harrison and the others carrying the mutton.
"It's quite interesting to share." Mag sat down by the window again, looking at Harrison's carriage as they drove away, the corner of her mouth raised slightly.
