It was a little strange this time. According to Liu Zhang's detailed explanation, he should have asked Yuan Zhou to go in and see how he prepared the raw liver, but he didn't.
Instead, he asked Yuan Zhou and Wuhai to wait in the small courtyard.
"Master Liu is really an interesting person," Wuhai looked at the seasonings all over the courtyard and said with interest.
"He's a master," Yuan Zhou said.
"Indeed. He doesn't hide anything." Wuhai nodded his head in agreement, "I can't do that."
It was like raising one's head to paint the world. Currently, many painters came to Wuhai to communicate with this kind of painting style, but Wuhai couldn't tell strangers anything without hiding anything.
That's right. Judging from Liu Zhang's introduction to Yuan Zhou on the way here, Liu Zhang was indeed a master.
It wasn't difficult to prepare raw liver. Yuan Zhou knew quite a few of them.
For example, the raw liver of the Yi people was used to entertain guests.
However, the raw liver of the Yi people needed to be chopped up, sprinkled with pepper powder and refined salt, and mixed well. After marinating for 20 minutes, the cooked pig blood, pig tripe, and small intestine were minced and mixed well. After that, the raw liver could be eaten.
Therefore, many kinds of raw liver were developed, including pig liver, chicken liver, duck liver, and even cow liver. However, this kind of raw liver required the pig liver to be cooked first.
Although it was called raw liver, it had to be cooked. Not to mention that the system didn't think it was raw liver, it didn't even judge it as a cold dish. Even Yuan Zhou felt it was completely different from the raw liver in his imagination.
"I'm looking forward to Master Liu's raw liver." Wuhai couldn't bear the hunger and thirst anymore.
"Yes, I am." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Since you're looking forward to it, then let's eat. But first of all, I didn't prepare any other dishes," Liu Zhang walked out with a plate in his hand and said with a smile.
"It's good that there's raw liver," Wuhai said self-consciously.
"Thank you, Master Liu." Yuan Zhou stood up and prepared to take the plate.
"No need. I still have a question to test you," Liu Zhang let go of Yuan Zhou's hand and then said.
"Master Liu, please ask away," Yuan Zhou said.
In the past year, Yuan Zhou's culinary skills had improved in all aspects. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was not afraid of Liu Zhang's problem.
Liu Zhang put down the plate and said, "Eat first. I'll ask you after you eat."
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded.
Then, Liu Zhang took out three pairs of chopsticks from the room.
The small table was very simple. There was only a pure white plate and three pairs of bamboo chopsticks. The three of them sat around the table and waited for Liu Zhang to give the order to start eating.
The lamb liver on the table was indeed raw. Yuan Zhou could tell at a glance. However, the lamb liver was very strange. It was cut into strips.
At first glance, it even looked like a dark red rose. The color was gorgeous and beautiful. It wasn't without reason that it looked like a rose, because this raw lamb liver gave off the scent of a rose.
It was fragrant and fragrant, with a faint hint of spiciness.
"It smells so good," Wuhai said straightforwardly.
"Indeed. It's like the fragrance of a rose hidden under the spiciness," Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
"Let's eat. You'll know after you eat." Liu Zhang picked up the chopsticks and gestured to him.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Master Liu." Wuhai was the least particular. He picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou waited until Liu Zhang picked up the chopsticks before he started to pick up the raw liver.
Yuan Zhou was very meticulous. He picked up only a little bit at a time.
The thin dark red liver was picked up by the dark green chopsticks. The collision of the two colors made the visual effect very good.
Coupled with the temptation of the fragrance, Yuan Zhou put it into his mouth very quickly and started to eat.
Normally, lamb liver was very fishy, let alone raw lamb liver. It was simply unpalatable. However, since Liu Zhang carried it to his mouth, Yuan Zhou didn't smell any gamey smell.
That made Yuan Zhou feel surprised and expectant at the same time.
As soon as the raw liver entered his mouth, however, Yuan Zhou was astonished.
"Hmm. The delicate, soft and spicy taste stimulated the freshness of the lamb liver. The slight sourness makes the original sweetness more obvious. There's even a slight bitterness. It turns out that the bitterness neutralizes the gamey smell," while eating, Yuan Zhou thought quickly in his heart.
After he finished eating, Yuan Zhou picked up the raw liver again. This time, he picked up the raw liver at the bottom because there was obviously gravy in it.
The gravy had sunk to the bottom after various condiments were poured on the raw liver. The taste this time was different again.
"The sour and spicy taste is more obvious, but the intrinsic freshness and delicacy of the lamb liver isn't as clear as the texture above." Yuan Zhou savored the taste inwardly.
"Wait. Wasn't there a rose taste at the beginning? Where did the rose taste go? "Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and thought deeply.
At that time, the raw liver in his mouth was completely swallowed. At that time, the taste that lingered in his mouth should be the sour and spicy taste or the raw liver taste. However, Yuan Zhou distinctly smelled a faint rose taste.
Just when Yuan Zhou was racking his brains, Wuhai was eating happily.
"It's delicious. I didn't expect the raw lamb liver to taste so good," Wuhai muttered.
A lamb liver wasn't big to begin with. Even if Liu Zhang didn't really move his chopsticks, it was soon emptied under Wu Hai's sweeping manner.
"It's almost finished. Boss Yuan, what do you think of the taste?" Liu Zhang asked smilingly.
"Very delicious." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"I purposely didn't invite you to observe the cooking process, but I think you can definitely taste it." Liu Zhang revealed an affirmative expression.
Liu Zhang had heard the old man on the bicycle talk about Yuan Zhou before. To be exact, when the old man was eating the raw lamb liver here, apart from Liu Zhang, the old man talked about Yuan Zhou for the rest of the time.
In the old man's mouth, Yuan Zhou was a legend with superb craftsmanship and a well-known reputation. Therefore, Liu Zhang was quite curious about Yuan Zhou.
That was why Liu Zhang asked him this question.
"Yes. I admire your combination of ingredients very much. I didn't expect you to cook it in such a way. You are very awesome." Yuan Zhou was quite solemn when he said that.
"Hahaha. It's not as exaggerated as you said, Boss Yuan," Liu Zhang said modestly.
"Boss Yuan, don't talk in riddles. How do you cook the raw lamb liver?" Wuhai looked at the two of them curiously and asked.
"You don't have a chance to cook it," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly when he saw Wuhai's expression.
"That's not necessarily true. I just cut the raw lamb liver into pieces and then mix it well. I think it's very simple," Wuhai said.
Yuan Zhou directly ignored Wuhai. Instead, he turned his head to look at Liu Zhang and began to answer his question just now.
"The water you used to wash the lamb liver was soaked in rose water. When you washed it for the first time, you also added the juice of crushed roses. When you washed it for the second time, you removed the membrane on the lamb liver and then washed it with pure rose water," Yuan Zhou said.
Liu Zhang looked at Yuan Zhou with a smile and signaled him to continue.
"After washing, you cut it into pieces. The reason why you cut it into pieces is to better blend the seasonings. You used chili and polygonum together and then removed the fishy smell of the lamb liver," when Yuan Zhou said that, he was quite shocked.
Because Yuan Zhou knew clearly that the polygonum used by Liu Zhang wasn't the plant itself as recorded in the system. This ancient way of eating and drinking was judged to be unreasonable by the system.
However, Liu Zhang had actually used its flower.
The flower of polygonum contained both a certain spicy taste and a certain bitterness. However, this bitterness was different from other bitterness. It was difficult to eat it alone, but this unique bitterness cleverly neutralized the fishy smell of the lamb liver.
It was unknown how many experiments he had gone through before he succeeded in grasping this proportion.
"Haha. This is the only dish I'm good at. You, Boss Yuan, have seen through it so quickly," Liu Zhang laughed and then said, "Boss Yuan, you're really awesome."
"Thank you for letting me taste it," Yuan Zhou said courteously.
"System, is the raw liver established?" Yuan Zhou asked.
