The crisp sound echoed in Gilgamesh's mouth. It had the taste of vegetables. As for the meat mixed with beef, sheep, and pig, it soon released rich gravy after the satisfaction of entering the mouth. With saliva running rampant in his mouth.
Smooth, tender, and even a little unexpectedly crunchy.
It may be difficult to imagine that a piece of meat can be filled with so many complex tastes. Under the taste of vegetables, the overlapping meat pieces of beef, sheep, and pig form a taste that is very different from ordinary meat.
It's like the flavors of several meat ingredients come together into one.
The pork is made from pine meat, the beef is from the tender inner loin, and the lamb with the richest fat is from the upper brain part.
The fats and oils of these three kinds of meat are all different, but they are all scattered in the lean meat, forming their own unique tastes, and then they are integrated into one through Zhao Fuyu's knife skills.
The effect produced is by no means as simple as one plus one plus one equals three.
After using three different wines to remove the fishy smell of the ingredients, the flavors and unique aftertaste of the three wines are also reflected in the taste of the meat, making the meat taste linger in the mouth for a long time. fundamental.
However, just when you think it only smells of meat, the saltiness brought by the meat sauce extracts the unique sweetness of the meat.
The meat sauce stewed with six different kinds of wine is not only not greasy at all, but also adds a touch of freshness to the sauce due to the addition of different fruit and flower-infused wines such as sakura wine and green plum wine. acid.
This sour taste is also very good at bringing down the richness of the meat flavor slightly after it reaches its peak.
You can't help but feel your appetite churning again, and you're still full of anticipation for the next bite.
This can almost be said to be the ultimate in meat dishes, perfectly bringing out all the meaty flavors!
Just when Gilgamesh thought that was all, suddenly there was an extremely weak aroma of wheat appearing in the vegetables that had been chewed until only the texture was left, making all the flavors finish on the earth.
"Where does this smell come from?!"
Without the consciousness to hide his thoughts, Gilgamesh expressed doubts after swallowing what was in his mouth.
In his mouth, in addition to the constantly reverberating aroma of meat and wine, there was also an extremely subtle aroma of wheat that reverberated, becoming the cornerstone for the continuous continuation of the aroma of meat.
It was a breath with the aroma of meat that seemed to enter the heart. The rich taste simply reminded people of countless wheat fields and rice fields, in which cattle, sheep, and pigs each led their groups in the wild. Running.
Not only are they running wildly, but they are building a new world, as if a king is leading them to form a new ecosystem.
"It's barley tea. The water I use to cook these ingredients is barley tea and dried wheat particles."
"The slight aroma of starch will envelope the vegetables and meat, and the fat and juice of the meat will drip down the steamer and onto the vegetables as it matures."
"The aroma of vegetables will also stick to the meat because of the steam."
"Only by using techniques such as steaming can these three be integrated into one, so that the three different types of meat can be completely integrated into a whole at the same time."
After hearing Gilgamesh's question, Zhao Fuyu did not skimp on his cooking skills.
After all, although this dish looks complicated to put it bluntly, in fact there are not many preparation methods, it just uses basic cooking skills.
"The art of cooking is born from civilization. If a race is not born from civilization, then the taste will not be refined; if the taste is not discerning, the cooking art will not be good."
"To prepare a dish worthy of a king, cooking skills are the key, and the key lies in the complexity of the ingredients and the simplicity of the seasoning."
Seeing the curious expressions of the diners present, especially Gilgamesh, Zhao Fuyu further deepened his explanation.
In fact, when conceiving this dish, Zhao Fuyu also went through many changes. For example, he initially thought of stewing all three ingredients, and then used wine as a bridge to integrate the three.
Or smash all three into meat paste, then shape it into large pieces of meat, and finally pour it with a sauce mixed with various wines, and then ignite the sauce with a flame to create a contrast between the meat and wine. Chengqu also shows the fiery majesty of the king.
But in the end, these thoughts were denied by Zhao Fuyu. Instead, he used the current methods, complicated cooking processes, and simple seasoning methods to completely present the answer to the question of what is a king.
Both plainness and heat will be an indelible part of the king's life. However, the value of the real king's existence does not lie in what they leave behind at the moment, but in the aftertaste that still remains in the mouth after all the ingredients are swallowed, that is, when they leave What is left to the world in the end.
This is the value of a king!
It is also the standard that distinguishes the true king who wins and who loses.
"Cooking represents the progress that kings bring to the people, and the simplicity of seasoning symbolizes their caution in what they ask for from the people."
"On the contrary, we will use this to keep the flavor of meat alive for a long time and leave our legacy among the people."
"This is...the reason why the three animal sacrifices smell like Sheji."
In Zhao Fuyu's eyes, what is a king?
If you accept the country's filth, you are called the master of the country; if you accept the country's misfortune, you are the king of the world!
Those who can take responsibility and bring more civilization and progress are the true kings.
This is also the reason why Zhao Fuyu's dish has the flavor of three animal sacrifices. Only those who are cared about by the people and truly keep it in their hearts can get the three animal sacrifices and enjoy the taste of these simple but sincere sacrifices.
"With one dish, the way of being a king is explained completely."
"I have to say, Manager Fuyu, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
The applause of "papapapa" rang out, and then a strange voice came. Everyone turned their eyes in shock, and it was a man wearing simple clothes, with a pale face and eyes like snakes who walked in from outside. .
It was Orochimaru who had not come even though the restaurant had opened several times!
"Humph, another despicable mortal."
Gilgamesh didn't expect that when he was eating his own food, someone would steal his limelight when he was supposed to be showing off. He naturally expressed his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.
"New customer, it seems the store manager's business is good."
Feeling the powerful yet completely unfamiliar aura of power in Gilgamesh's body, Orochimaru smiled lightly and did not respond to his provocation.
However, Zhao Fuyu seemed to sense a strange situation from Orochimaru, as if...
Can get more points from him!
