Gentleman's Night Canteen

Lan Meng seldom makes a single dish when making dishes, but distributes according to the steps of each dish, for example, while making mushroom sauce, he boils water and prepares the bottom, while when he goes down, he pays attention to the water temperature while making dumplings milk.

When the dango milk is made, the noodles are almost cooked through.

The only difference is that this time Lan Meng is going to make cold noodles, so he cooks them for a shorter time.

Rinse the cooked noodles in warm water at a slightly lower temperature, then rinse them in cold water for a few times, and finally put them in a bamboo basket to drain.

The reason for doing this is because soba noodles are likely to be hardened when directly washed with cold water, and the gluten of the soba noodles is slightly worse than that of ordinary dried noodles, so it is best to let the temperature decrease gradually, just a simple one. The taste of each step can be improved a lot, and Lan Meng will naturally not be stingy to do one more step.

After the noodles for the main course, the mushroom sauce for the side dishes, and the dumpling milk for the dessert, Lan Meng naturally began to prepare the last dish, which was also the main dish this time——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Instead of dismantling the tail carapace, directly open a hole at one end, and then use the oil to remove the odor by roasting and cook directly. The control required for this is too terrifying, and Lan Meng can't achieve it at all, but this is given. He was inspired, and afterward, Lan Meng went to the Internet to search for similar recipes. In the end, he actually found some similar recipes. After testing, he finally came up with the current dish.

The tail meat of Tushalong has a relatively light taste, more of a faint earthy smell, so it can get rid of the smell even without aniseed ingredients. After dismantling it, use the leaves to temporarily isolate it, apply spices on the leaves, and finally Roasting ensures that the spices penetrate through the leaves and into the meat.

From the backpack, Lan Meng took out the kitchen utensils specially customized for this dish—a special grill.

The bottom of the grill is no different from a normal grill, but the grill sticks on the top look a little strange, and the two iron sticks that fit together seem to be squashed in the middle.

Put the leaf-wrapped tail meat in the middle and clamp it, then grill it directly over high heat.

Sitting by the grill, Lan Meng skillfully turned the grill tongs to ensure that the flame could heat the meat evenly, while humming a strange tune.

'Deng~deng~dengdeng~'

This strange tune is said to have been passed down by a chef many years ago, and the reason is to make it easier for hunters who are not good at cooking to avoid burning when baking, but it has almost become A tradition, even with Lan Meng's culinary skills, when grilling meat, it is more judged by the temperature and smell, but it still has the habit of humming.

There are some similar exam results that are often linked to the usual study situation, but before entering the exam room, I can't help but pray a few words, whether it is useful or not, at least it can increase my momentum.

Under the flames, the original emerald green leaves gradually turned yellow until they finally turned dark brown, especially the position of the clip was scratched with several black marks, but it didn't matter because the meat was wrapped in the leaves.

Open the clamp, put the leaf-wrapped meat on the chopping board, take out the kitchen knife and carefully cut the leaf open.

The first layer of leaves is basically roasted and carbonized, so you need to pay extra attention when cutting to prevent the lower layer of leaves from being cut and causing the flavor to seep into it.

After removing the carbonized leaves and the hard and stone-like spices after roasting, there is another leaf below.

Unlike the leaves that are basically carbonized on the outside, the second layer of leaves presents a special burnt yellow color, which is the result of the joint action of spices and flames, but there is still a smell of charcoal that is not very good, but it doesn't matter, the cooking is not finished yet .

When the last layer of leaves was lifted, a white mist immediately filled the air, and a faint sweet smell hit the face.

Different from the reddish brown of ordinary barbecue, the special pink and white tail meat is as eye-catching as a special jade vessel, but Lan Meng cares more about the taste than the appearance.

Lower your head and sniff twice, the unique sweet smell of honey is paired with the smell of meat and a touch of spices...

"Fortunately, there were no mistakes."

Although Lan Meng did several trials in the store and for today's assessment, after all, no one knows how the final effect will be until the formal test. Now it seems that the degree of completion is even higher than that of my usual test.

'Is it because of more concentration? '

Lan Meng is not too clear about it, but what he knows is that when he cooks, the result of deliberately activating his own ability is that he looks very tired, but as long as the result is good, it is enough.

But it's not time to relax completely.

There is still one last step left, and it will be officially declared over after this step is completed...

Chapter 9 The key to the heart

Pour the honey provided by Yue Yuexiong on top of the steaming hot barbecue. Immediately, the original pink and white tail meat seems to be coated with a layer of amber film, and the aroma is also blocked in the sticky meat. within the honey.

The fruit wood selected for roasting is combined with the sweetness brewed with tree fruit nectar, which not only reduces the greasy taste of meat, but also adds a touch of fruity fragrance.

After putting the cold noodles, sauce, tail meat and dumpling milk for dessert on the dinner plate, Lan Meng also walked towards the study directly with the plate.

Although Jiutiao Shaluo said that the maid could be responsible, but rather than waiting silently, Lan Meng still hoped to get feedback directly.

But to Lan Meng's surprise, when he came to the study, he found Jiutiao Shaluo was still waiting in front of the study.

Is the other party not working?

As if seeing Lan Meng's doubts, Jiutiao Saluo couldn't help explaining.

"Lanmeng, your matter is quite special. It is difficult for the subordinates to handle it. The fewer people who handle it, the better, so I will take full responsibility."

Is Kujo Sara busy?

Needless to say.

As the leader of Tianling's pursuit, she rarely stays in her office, but stays in the barracks or guards every day, and even some troublesome arrests, she will go to the scene in person. The one who is familiar is her.

If you don't see the other party one day, it means that the other party is on a business trip or has some important work and has to stop patrolling.

It can be said that except for a very small number of victims of the "Eye Hunting Order", the vast majority of people recognize her work. Even the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army generally call her the "General's Loyal Dog". It is generally not mentioned at all, after all, the other party's work efficiency and seriousness are obvious to all.

But as she said, although Lan Meng's ability is only a 'possibility', since this possibility is related to Lei Movie, its importance will be infinitely magnified.

That's why she was responsible for picking up Lan Meng, and asked the guards to guard at the outermost edge, and she personally guarded outside the study.

Naturally, Lan Meng was not clear about these details, and Jiutiao Shaluo would not specifically explain to Lan Meng, so after listening to the other party's explanation, Lan Meng only nodded in understanding, and Jiutiao Saluo knocked for him noncommittal. Knock on the knocker on the door.

It wasn't until the sound of 'come in' came from the door that Jiujo Shaluo opened the door knocker to signal Lan Meng to go in.

Compared with Ying who was sitting in front of the desk, Lan Meng, who walked with his head held high, almost looked down on the other party, and it was precisely because of this that Lan Meng saw Yae Shenzi who was flushing and paralyzed on the other party's lap at a glance.

Clearly this is Shadow's masterpiece.

Although Ying would not be angry because Lan Meng knew Yae Shenzi's body better than herself, after all, the other party was a master and servant in name, but in fact they were best friends who had supported each other for hundreds of years. This incident made fun of Miko, 'The dignified Narujin Taisha palace secretary was actually caught by a chef'.

Ordinary people’s ridicule in the face of Ying will not show on their faces no matter what they think in their hearts, but Yae Kamito is not an ordinary person, she said without hesitation, "This has nothing to do with personal willpower. The body produces feelings without authorization, unless the feelings are cut off." , otherwise no one can do anything'.

She once fought side by side with her sister to establish Dao Wife and drove away countless demon gods, which can be said to be battle-tested. Naturally, she dismisses this. According to her, even if she is pierced by thousands of arrows, she will never frown.

So it's just that the Son of God is tired.

Yae Miko's intuition told her that there may indeed be such a part of the reason, but who is she?

Inazuma is the king of pranksters, and when he taunts people, he still has a three-pointed rude voice, so how could he give up so easily?

Yae Miko retorted directly, "If I were a human body, I wouldn't be so easy to get tricked. If you were transformed into a small animal, you would definitely not be able to escape that man's clutches." It was because she knew that Ying was different from herself. It's not a monster, and it can't turn into an animal.

That is to say, there is no evidence to refute her no matter what film.

The fact is indeed so, Ying can't find any reason to refute, but as the saying goes, return the same way to the other, since the Son of God is making trouble for no reason, then she is not polite.

He directly touched the position pointed by Lan Meng with his hands, and the final result was that Shenzi completely lost his resistance and directly collapsed on the opponent's thigh.

(V) (V) (V) (V) (V) (V)

When watching the other party slump on her lap while making a 'beep' sound, Ying was actually in a delicate mood. She had spent hundreds of years with Shenzi day and night, and she never thought that there would be someone who knew Shenzi's body better than herself. , but...it's pretty easy to use.

After the death of her sister, Ying took over the "Thunder God's position" and has been demanding herself with the strictest requirements. This also led to the fact that no one noticed the abnormality after she handed over her body to the "General" to control. After all, there is not much difference between the two .

But after all, Ying is not the "General Thunder" created by her, she has her own emotions, and she can't help but want to mess around with Jiu Jiu when they get together.

At this time, she is neither the "Thunder God" who intimidates the world, nor the "General Thunder" who is like a machine. It's like taking off all the pretense.

But soon, with a knock on the door, Ying also realized that Lan Meng had finished cooking, and she quickly suppressed the smile on her face and tidied her clothes before opening her mouth to let Lan Meng in again.

Looking at the shadow who seemed to be no different from the 'General', Shenzi lying on the opponent's lap couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Was her messing around just now just messing around for the sake of messing around?

it's not true.

Although she has a side that likes to play around like a little devil, as some people say, she has "thousand faces", because she is out of the way, so she sees the most clearly, and she just uses nonsense to help her friends vent.

At this time, she unconsciously aimed at the dish held by Lan Meng. Obviously, she hoped that Lan Meng's cooking would be effective, because it might help the other party to return to the 'shadow' she was familiar with. , that shadow who always looks at everyone in silence but always smiles.

It's hard to take off a person's mask after wearing it for a long time, even she can't help it, but Lan Meng's ability is a key, a key that may open the opponent's heart.

Lan Meng didn't know what kind of expectations Shenzi had for him, but at least he realized that his behavior of looking down at Ying seemed a little disrespectful, but it was a pity that he was sitting there, it seemed anti-human, and he didn't want to kneel, and even more so. It's not easy to squat down, make peace again and again, and finally Lan Meng knelt on one knee and presented the plate in front of Ying with both hands, and looked at Ying with full expectation...

Chapter 10 Pink Sauce

Because the tableware was not prepared in advance, Lan Meng didn't do any fancy things at all, but chose the simplest white tableware in the cabinet.

On the top of the plate is Lanmeng's special 'tail meat'.

In the middle of the white round porcelain plate is the tail meat that has been cut into pieces. Amber honey drips continuously along the tail meat into the plate, and as the honey drops, the scent that was originally blocked seems to be unsealed. Slowly increase.

Not only that, Lan Meng also specially added some fresh rosemary when arranging the plate.

Rosemary itself has a strong taste and is not suitable for direct consumption, but it is very suitable for marinating meat. It is also one of the most commonly used spices for making barbecue in Lan Meng. The taste, and the aroma of the barbecue itself can be said to complement each other.

Besides the grilled tail meat as the main course, the most important thing is naturally the staple food, which is the 'soba noodles' made by Lan Meng.

However, the soba noodles after the plate are completely different from the original ones.

Because the soba noodles themselves are taupe, the dark brown of the mushroom sauce will make the whole dish darker. Therefore, Lan Meng didn’t use dark soy sauce for coloring when making it. Instead, he added beet puree to increase the sweetness. .

Beetroot is a very common sweetener in Western food, but in fact few people know that the red pigment of beet itself can turn into a special pink color after dilution, which can be said to be a good natural coloring agent , which makes the mushroom sauce made by Lanmeng present a special pink color. In addition, when choosing mushrooms, Lanmeng chooses white strains, which also makes the whole mushroom sauce present a pink and white color.

Ordinary people may feel a little strange when they hear that the mushroom sauce is pink, but for those who don’t know the ingredients, the pink sauce is undoubtedly enough to arouse people’s curiosity. Some preparations.

Lan Meng once asked Jiutiao Saluo about the food that "General" likes. Kutiao Saluo said that the general eats everything and is not picky, but he likes to enjoy cherry blossoms, especially the thunder cherry tree. Lei ate dessert alone under the cherry tree.

Regarding the dessert, Lanmeng prepared dumpling milk in advance, so I didn’t plan to make other desserts, otherwise it would be easy to overwhelm the host, but you can spend some thought on other dishes, such as putting the noodles in the shape of a tree trunk, as for the sauce. Cherry blossoms adorn it.

Although Lan Meng's cooking is not as gorgeous as the "imperial cuisine" in the impression of ordinary people, it can also be called exquisite, especially the faint sweetness that permeates the air is even more appetizing Wide open.

Although Ying has rarely had contact with the outside world since she made up her mind to maintain "eternity" and escape directly into the "One Heart Pure Land", but she is not a real machine after all, she still has her own emotions and desires, and she also has her own preferences when it comes to food. Like sweets.

It's a pity that maybe it's because the "general" feels too serious, so I don't know when the imperial chef has seldom had a sweet taste, and there is nothing to do about it, but in order to maintain their majesty, he and she also It is not good to go directly to the chef and say 'I like to eat sweets', so I have to silently eat more when serving desserts.

It's clear that even with the moniker 'Thor', in everyday life she's no different.

Although I don't know if Lan Meng's ability has progressed, at least she is satisfied as a chef.

But when he grabbed the chopsticks and was about to taste it, he was suddenly stunned, because she suddenly remembered something.

There seems to be another person in the room?

Ying with faint eyes looked unconsciously at Lan Meng who was standing near the door.

Lan Meng, who was stared at by the other party, was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what the other party's eyes meant.

But then he seemed to read the meaning of "why are you still here" from the eyes of the other party. I don't know why Lan Meng always has the illusion that a scumbag lifts up his pants and doesn't recognize anyone, but he complains about it and sighs in his heart Gui sighed, as a chef, you still have to pay attention to customer first.

Since the other party didn't want him to stay here, it was not easy for him to force him to stay, but he opened the door behind him very skillfully and left the study.

Lan Meng can guarantee that the reason why he stayed was definitely not because he was curious about how Ying would react after eating his dishes. Unwilling to satisfy Lan Meng's 'tiny wish'.

Seeing Lan Meng leaving, Ying nodded slightly in satisfaction.

It's just that at this moment another undisguised scorching gaze caught Ying's attention again, but this time the gaze came from her thigh.

Oh, it's the Son of God, that's all right.

It's a pity that Ying ignored one thing. Although Shenzi was much more serious in front of her than when he was alone, but that was only in normal situations, and it was irrelevant right now. How can the god son of the king let go of this good opportunity?

It's a pity that Shenzi also overlooked one thing, that is, the person who knows her best in this world is this seemingly ruthless woman in front of her. She was just about to complain about the other party, "Ying, weren't you very brave just now?" '

But before the word 'ying' was finished, a hand was already placed on her body and touched her belly...

Seeing Miko lying on his knee panting again after a series of 'beeps', Ying withdrew his left hand very naturally and focused on the food in front of him.

Originally, she thought that Lan Meng would still only make a barbecue like last time, but she didn't expect that it was a set meal that included 'staple', 'main dish' and 'dessert'.

But she focused more on Lan Meng's ability, so she directly chose the 'barbecue' she was most familiar with, obviously to see if Lan Meng's progress could meet her requirements.

But when she picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, she couldn't help being taken aback.

The pinkish-white tail meat is more milky white after roasting, and the amber honey is very appetizing, but it is the coccyx in the middle of the tail meat that really attracts Ying's attention.

With a thick bone structure and a smooth cut surface, Ying, who is a good knife user, seems to have imagined the cleanness of the blade when it falls from this cut surface. After all, to achieve this kind of cut surface, strength alone is not enough. up.

Only by relying on brute force, the cut surface of the bone will have some thin bone residues, and if it is cut several times, there will be irregular cut surfaces like burrs, which can only be achieved with a sharp enough blade at a suitable angle A clean cut in two.

At first, she only intended to use Lan Meng as a tool to help her maintain the "one-hearted pure land", but after learning about Lan Meng's mysterious identity from Shenzi, she began to have some thoughts about Lan Meng. can be more...

Chapter 11 People in Memories

While thinking about taking Lan Meng under his command, Ying picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth.

Her first reaction was————Why is it so different from the last time?

Although the person who tasted the barbecue was 'General Thunder and Lightning', as the real owner of this body, she can naturally check the memory of the other party. Although the barbecue in memory does not use a lot of spices like traditional barbecue, although some people say it It's the taste of barbecue, but in her opinion, the real delicious barbecue should use the way of 'grilling' to highlight the deliciousness of the ingredients, rather than the same taste.

The barbecue spices made by Lan Meng before are more just to remove the fishy smell and serve as a primer. When eating, she focuses more on the crispy skin of the meat after roasting and the constant knocking and drying. The meat itself is still tender and delicious after oozing fat.

It can be said that when eating the barbecue made by Lan Meng, her attention is always on the 'meat' itself.

But this time, the outermost layer of the meat does not have the crispy skin she is familiar with, and the taste is also lighter, but as she chews, there is a hint of sweet meat juice overflowing, and the soft and delicious tail meat is just like meat in the mouth. It is generally melted.

It's a very different experience than the roast you've had before, but it's undeniably delicious.

But her purpose is not only to fill her stomach, but to taste the delicious food in front of her. While letting her heart go, she tries to sense the hidden things in Lanmeng cuisine, but it seems that she hasn't changed much.
