Chapter 733 Lost Skills

The first thing the old man said was his recent experience. The old man's occupation is to ride a tricycle. Strictly speaking, tricycles are not allowed to carry passengers in Chengdu.

If you are caught by the traffic police, although the passenger vehicle will not be confiscated, you will be fined 200 yuan. This will be a day or two in vain, so you can wander around the alleys in three wheels.

About half a month ago, the old man walked into an alley and encountered a strange thing.

"Let's put it this way, if the liver is not cooked, can it be eaten directly?" The old man asked a question in the middle of the story.

No matter what kind of liver it is, it will always have a fishy smell. It is often said on the Internet that foreigners do not eat liver. In fact, this statement is incomplete because Americans do not eat liver.

The British's legendary dark ingredient "haggis" uses kidneys and stomachs. Germans even enjoy eating blood sausage. France also has a preserved dish that uses large intestine and small intestine, plus some bread crumbs. Gamene Sausage.

Americans don't eat liver. In addition to excessive food production, another important reason is that Americans don't know how to cook. They cook offal by boiling it in water, which is simply unpalatable. I believe that if it weren't for the lack of food, they wouldn't be able to eat liver. No American would want to eat this kind of thing.

It tastes terrible even after cooking, let alone eating it raw, so everyone present shook their heads, wondering how to eat it raw.

It was about gourmet food, so Yuanzhou listened without showing a look. As far as the dishes he knew, they all needed to be cooked by frying, steaming and other methods, especially the lungs. Just cooking them was useless and required tedious steps. Cuisine. Just like there was a famous dish in ancient times called horse tripe dish. The main ingredients are horse intestines and horse belly, and horse oil needs to be stuffed into the intestines to clean them.

The most important thing is that Yuanzhou also asked the system, and even the system said that such a dish does not exist. Yuan Zhou believes that there are two places that best reflect the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. One is architecture, and the other is food. Regarding these two points, it can be said that they have gone to great lengths to create many technologies that cannot be cracked by modern times.

Yuanzhou held his breath and listened attentively, wondering what the old man wanted to say. As for Wu Hai, let alone talk about it. He concentrated on it. There was nothing about eating that he was not interested in.

"I met a big brother in the alley who was older than me. He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He was sitting at the door of the vegetable market. Then the sheep (meat ròu) seller in the vegetable market would give the sheep liver to the big brother in the Chinese tunic suit for free. , and even if someone buys it, the people in the vegetable market will say that they don't have it, and then give it directly to the big brother in the Chinese tunic suit." The old man has a great talent for telling stories, and he caught people's ears in just a few words.

Chengdu is located in the southwest, not the northwest where people like to eat mutton (meat), so the general small vegetable markets do not sell mutton (meat).

Sheep liver is not easy to buy here in Chengdu, not because it is expensive, but mainly because it is scarce. To put it simply, mutton liver can still be sold for some money, but the dealer would rather give it away than sell it, which is quite interesting.

Then the old man explained the reason and continued: "I curiously asked the mutton seller why he would rather give it away than sell it. He told me that the big brother in the Chinese tunic suit can make delicious mutton. The liver dish won’t fetch much money anyway, so it’s better to turn the lamb liver into a delicacy.”

An interesting mutton seller, and of course what caught Yuan Zhou's attention more was the delicious mutton liver dish.

There are many ways to make mutton liver dishes, the most common one is mutton liver soup. The conventional method seems to be stir-fried or cold. It can be paired with leeks, cumin, and white radish. Unconventionally, Yuanzhou also knows about lamb liver baby rice cereal.

What kind of mutton liver dish is needed to make the mutton seller willingly give away mutton liver?

"I'm very interested in eating, so I'll go over there and look for the big brother in Chinese tunic suit."

I have to say, this old man riding a three-wheeler is really happy. He used to be a busker, and now he is a big brother in Chinese tunic suit. He strikes up conversations everywhere. Fortunately, he is older and has a nice smile.

Otherwise, it is really easy to be beaten to death as a liar.

"Big brother in Mao suit is a hospitable man, so he invited me to his home for dinner." The old man said, "I parked my tricycle on the side of the road. Why did I ask that question just now? It was because of the sheep made by big brother. For liver vegetables, there is no need to use all the methods of frying, boiling, stewing and stewing."

The old man dropped the news like a bomb.

The raw internal organs are fishy, ​​and coupled with the mutton smell of the mutton (meat), in this case, can it be eaten without cooking it?

Now Yuanzhou (wei)ben (zhuang) can no longer maintain his aloof image. Is there really such a dish? Prick up your ears and listen carefully without missing a word.

"I heard from Big Brother that the name of this dish is very simple, it's called Sheep Liver, just like fish or beef." The old man said: "It's very, very delicious."

The old man gave a thumbs up and continued to praise: "Anyway, I have never eaten more delicious lamb liver dishes than that."

"What does it look like? It's really not familiar?!" Wu Hai answered immediately and asked the question Yuan Zhou wanted to ask.

"The name is Sheep Liver, it must be raw. As for the appearance, the Sheep Liver is cut into shreds." The old man recalled, "Then it seems that shredded ginger and radish are added as side dishes. It tastes really good. I I can’t describe the feeling, and by the way, I’m also jealous.”

"Eating lamb liver raw, doesn't it smell fishy?"

"Could it have anything to do with shredding?"

Diners asked questions one after another, among which Wu Hai was the most positive.

Yuan Zhou frowned. This was completely impossible. According to the old man's description, this dish should be very unpalatable. How could it be delicious?

"System, didn't you say there is no raw liver food?" Yuan Zhou asked.

The system was silent at first, and then after a few seconds, it displayed a menu: [One lamb liver, soaked in water, cut into thin strips; four ounces of ginger, cut into thin strips. Two radishes, cut into thin strips; two liang each of coriander and polygonum seeds, cut into thin strips. For the right piece, season with salt, vinegar, and mustard. (Note: This dish is not valid. The fishy smell is too strong, which affects the taste.)]

Yuanzhou obtained information from the system. Gansheng is an ancient dish that originated from the Yuan Dynasty and was recorded in the "Yinshan Zhengyao". However, the system determined that the fishy smell was too strong and affected the taste, so it was not established.

In fact, this is normal. Not all ancient dishes are delicious. There are always one or two that are not true. Just like this one, radish, coriander, ginger and mustard are seasoned. There is nothing wrong with these things being flavored, that is, even if they are used Soaking it in boiling water can also remove the smell, but this is really not enough to cover up the fishy and mutton smell of the sheep liver.

There's nothing wrong with it, but now the old man said clearly that it tastes very refreshing, and he emphasized it several times. It can be said that, not to mention that it is completely tasteless, it is because the fishy and muttony smell is very small, but the method of making lamb liver cannot achieve that at all.

"Is it because of Polygonum?"

The only unfamiliar ingredient in Gan Sheng is Polygonum Seed. The full name of Polygonum Seed is Polygonum Seed. It is a traditional Chinese medicine. It is rarely used as an ingredient. The main reason is that Polygonum Seed grows near Inner Mongolia and is not available in Yuanzhou. I have heard that it is a deodorizing condiment.

So what exactly is the condition of liver disease in the mouth of the elderly?

Yuanzhou made up his mind to try it himself, then put aside his worries and continued cooking.
