Chapter 29 Return Gift
Shrimp paste and shrimp cakes are inherently different products resulting from different production processes, so the differences are very obvious.
Compared with shrimp cakes, Mengzi shrimp paste is the most original form. It is purple-red in color, like a ripe grape. It is a very beautiful purple with red in it. Even though the color is slightly darker, the delicate texture makes it look... Very textured.
It is different from the slightly weathered feeling of the dried shrimp cake. It is like one is a young lady raised in a boudoir, delicate and beautiful, and the other is a doted princess on the grassland, free and wild. No one is higher or lower, it is just personal preference. Different.
It has a viscous and thick appearance, which shows that it has withstood the test of time. Even after being scooped out of the large vat, there is no sign of the sauce in the dish falling apart. What was the state of the sauce that was placed on the dish before? Even after using it for so long, it is still in the same condition. The consistency is quite good, which proves that it is of excellent quality.
The attractive purple-red color exudes a noble aura, coupled with the clear and fresh fragrance. Yuanzhou feels that this Mengzi shrimp paste is worthy of being produced by the system, and the quality is absolutely top-notch.
"This shrimp paste..." Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered something mid-sentence and swallowed back half of the sentence.
However, the system is very active today, and it is also very thoughtful and direct to popularize science: "Mengzi shrimp paste is made from carefully fed black mysid shrimps in this system. The black mysid shrimps are black brown mysid shrimps from Shandong Province." Variation is the most suitable raw material for making Mengzi shrimp paste. This system selects high-quality breeding shrimps for breeding, selects the best-quality second generation, and after breeding, specially selects female shrimps that have just held eggs in their brood sacs for production."
"In order to produce the best quality Mengzi shrimp paste, this system puts the black mysid shrimp in the sea where the temperature is carefully adjusted to the spring water temperature. The food is made of high-quality aquatic plants and various seabed corals, and some land birds are put in from time to time. The addition of minced meat from livestock allows the shrimp to maintain high-quality nutrition, and its movement trajectory is artificially ensured from time to time, allowing the shrimp to maintain an elegant shape and achieve the optimal body shape for making Mengzi shrimp paste."
"The production of Mengzi shrimp paste is developed using ancient methods and follows..."
It must have been a long time since I had displayed my knowledge so heartily. As soon as the system opened its mouth, it was like a perpetual motion machine that couldn't stop after being recharged.
In the end, Yuan Zhou couldn't bear to listen and interrupted.
There is no way to know right away that it is another day when people are inferior to shrimps. Yuanzhou wanted to ask before, but he immediately shut up. Unfortunately, the system cannot read people's eyes.
There are differences across species between people and systems. Yuan Zhou said that he could be generous and not care about the fact that he was shown off again.
Focusing on the two sauces, I first dipped my chopsticks into the thick sauce and put it into my mouth.
The delicious taste immediately swept through the entire mouth. This was the first time Yuan Zhou had tasted such a delicious taste.
The ultimate fresh aroma, delicate and smooth taste experience, coupled with the delicious taste and a strong sense of time, it is really the ultimate experience.
"No wonder people on the coast used to use dried shrimp or shrimp powder instead of MSG. Even now, many people do this. It turns out that the real umami taste cannot be compared with MSG." Yuan Zhou said.
Naturally, when he cooks his own dishes, he does not use industrial seasonings such as MSG. He uses purely natural ingredients to enhance the flavor, but this is indeed the first time he has tasted such smooth and fragrant shrimp paste.
The shrimp paste made by Opello is already very good. His skills are there. As a national treasure chef in Singapore, it is natural that he cannot be a parallel import. Although he is much worse than Yuan Zhou, his strength is Not to be underestimated.
The reason why the prepared shrimp paste can be his unique secret recipe is that it absolutely tastes great, but compared with what the system provides, it is naturally a little less fresh, a little smoother and a little glutinous. It seems to be just It's a little bit missing, but overall it's just a little less interesting.
"If you use this shrimp paste to steam eggs, it should be more delicious. I can talk to Chef Opello next time he comes to talk.
"Yuanzhou thought secretly in his heart.
After eating the shrimp paste, clean and dry the spoon and carefully scoop out a piece of shrimp cake.
Although the shrimp cake seems to have been air-dried, and there are some signs of weathering on the surface, but looking at the essence through the phenomenon, in addition to the slightly powdery surface, the inside seems to be runny, with a slight softness.
When you eat it in your mouth, your saliva melts the powdery outside, and the soft and tender parts inside automatically melt away. It is probably a few more steps than shrimp paste, so the shrimp cake tastes more lasting and has a natural and mellow aroma. The waxy aroma inside is more obvious, and this egg yolk-like texture makes the shrimp paste even more chewy.
It is also slightly saltier than shrimp paste. If you eat it empty-handed, it will feel a bit heavy. It is not suitable for people with light tastes to eat directly.
"This reward is very suitable. It just so happens that Ms. Huang Aishan gave me star currants this time, so I will make some Mengzi shrimp paste as a return gift." Yuan Zhou said.
I was worried about what to bring back. It’s not that I can’t find something, but that it’s difficult to choose because I know so many things. Now I don’t have to choose. As one of the main condiments popular in Southeast Asia, Mengzi shrimp paste is a perfect return gift. .
Yuan Zhou will not use the return gift provided by the system. It has nothing to do with whether he can take it out of the store, but a matter of sincerity.
The star gooseberry given by Huang Aishan was grown by herself, so his return gift must also be done by herself.
Just go ahead and do it. After tasting Mengzi shrimp paste and shrimp cakes, Yuan Zhou almost understood the production process by heart. The rest is just that practice makes perfect, so he let the system provide raw materials and tools to start production.
"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"
As soon as Yuan Zhou started production, he naturally devoted himself wholeheartedly, and everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Mao Xiong looked at Wu Hai, who was half-lying at the window, trying to figure out whether to get out or in. He was already surprised and said, "Boss Yuan is making delicious food again?"
Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative, which shows that this is not the first time this situation has occurred.
"Compass has prepared delicious food again, but it's a pity that we can't go. It's too difficult." Wu Hai almost burst into tears.
He wanted to go, but his seventh sense told him that he couldn't go, but he was unwilling to do so, so he ended up like this.
"It doesn't matter. If it's a new dish, Boss Yuan will serve it sooner or later. Let's just wait. How about we eat a few more dishes tonight? Do you want to do something to digest it?" Mao Xiong stroked his hair.
Wu Hai thought so, so he immediately returned to the bedroom happily and started a series of daily bedroom walks.
"..." Mao Xiong.
Yuanzhou didn't know about Wu Hai's drama show, but he was very pleased that Wu Hai didn't show up to grab the food. This is already a mature beast, which is really good.
After making the shrimp paste, Yuan Zhou checked that there was still some time, so he continued to get busy. This time he was making the candied haws on a stick that Yin Ya mentioned casually yesterday.
Yin Ya's original words were, "There is an old man in the company who comes to sell candied haws in winter. The taste is very good, but he hasn't come this year. I wonder if he will come again?"
So my considerate fiancé Yuan Zhou said that there would be candied haws on a stick, so I decided to do it.
