Chapter 2400: The auspicious rice
Translator: 549690339
Qin Minghao felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge after seeing the process of a flower blooming with his own eyes. Those decorations that he had thought were beautiful before were simply weak in front of this.
It was really an eye-opener for him. Even though he had eaten many Michelin three-star dishes, among which the French food was famous for its exquisiteness, he had never seen such a miraculous performance. It was really too shocking.
“It seems that not only the taste, but also the style of the dish is better than that of a 3-star head chef.” Qin Minghao said.
Actually, Qin Minghao wasn’t a professional food critic. He was just an ordinary foodie. If Lee Yanyi was here, he would definitely tell Qin Minghao that it wasn’t that he was better than others, but that he was much better than them.
Originally, he wanted to admire the blood sausage that was spread out, but the rich fragrance kept tempting people to taste it. Therefore, Qin Minghao smoothly reached out and grabbed a piece in his hand. Then, he found that this blood sausage was extremely thin, almost to the extreme. He felt that if it was thinner, it would probably fall apart.
The color of the blood and the beef were not the same. With the addition of the light-colored sausage casing, there were three colors. When put in the mouth, there was a rich meaty taste. The soft and tender blood mixed with the small and chewy yak meat. The soft was hard, and the hard was soft. The combination of the two was perfect.
Qin Minghao’s eyes brightened when he put the first bite into his mouth, mainly because it was too delicious. The blood sausage he had been eating before was made of Lamb Blood and mutton. Although it was fresh and tender, it was now a bit rougher than the Yak blood sausage, which highlighted the characteristics of the gra.s.sland people.
There was a fine and tender blood within the roughness, making it more rounded and blended. In any case, Qin Minghao felt that this was the most delicious blood sausage he had ever eaten.
Because it was cut very thin, it felt like flower petals. It looked like there were a lot of them, and the portion was not small, but it really didn’t taste that good. At least, Qin Minghao couldn’t help but feel that the amount was too little. It wouldn’t be a problem even if he had two more slices.
Unfortunately, there was none.
Without waiting for Qin Minghao to continue lamenting over the matter of the blood sausage, the next dish was served, steamed beef tongue.
Originally, Qin Minghao felt that the blood sausage just now could already reflect boss Yuan’s knife skills. However, as soon as the steamed yak tongue was served, he knew that he was very naïve.
The extremely thin piece of beef tongue lay quietly on the plate, dry and refres.h.i.+ng. Qin Minghao could see that its cutting skills were more prominent than the blood sausage because the plate this time was a flower plate.
Fresh flowers bloomed at the bottom of the plate. The pink color made many people think that they were very beautiful, but when you looked through the thin Taotie, you could clearly see the texture of each petal. That was the most amazing thing.
“You didn’t dip it in water?” Qin Minghao looked around and found that there was indeed no chili sauce or salt and pepper that other restaurants provided.
Although Qin Minghao himself didn’t like to eat this steamed beef tongue with chili sauce because he felt that it would affect the taste of the Yak tongue itself, he still felt that something was wrong when he saw that there were no other ingredients.
At this moment, Qin Minghao definitely wouldn’t have thought that Yuan Zhou had simply adjusted the dishes according to his taste. He felt that the first two dishes were very appetizing and were excessively delicious. However, logically speaking, it was his first time coming to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
Qin Minghao was a little hesitant, but he still reached out and picked up a slice of yak meat to eat. His movements were a little careful at first, afraid that such a thin slice would fall off. After he picked it up, he realized that he had been overthinking it.
After putting it in his mouth, the rich and fresh taste spread in his mouth. Originally, Qin Minghao thought that the taste of the cow tongue should be lighter. However, that was not the case. On the contrary, the fragrance was rich, tender, and juicy. The tender taste with the rich taste of beef made him feel very enjoyable.
Qin Minghao, who had already let himself loose, didn’t even think about the existence of chopsticks. He used his left hand to grab a piece and put it in his mouth. His right hand immediately followed, and then, one on the left and one on the right, they started working on it. There was no time for his mouth to be idle.
“Humans have evolved to this point, and their hands have developed to be so flexible so that they can eat more.” Qin Minghao felt that even though he had left his hometown for a long time, his ability to eat with his hands had not deteriorated.
Just as Qin Minghao was eating the cream cow tongue, the last dish was served. Speaking of the ginseng fruit rice, it was also called Zhuo Ma Zhe si. It was a kind of rice with a very good meaning, sweet and fragrant.
In Tibetan language, ginseng fruit was called “green plum day cloth”, which meant the fruit of immortality. The food made with it naturally had a good meaning. Therefore, ginseng fruit rice was an indispensable food during holidays and festivals. It was even enshrined in front of the shrine, so its importance could be imagined.
It was the wish of every Chinese person to eat auspicious food on auspicious days. Therefore, the Tibetan people liked to eat ginseng and fruit rice on auspicious days.
When Qin Minghao had ordered this meal, he had hoped that this auspicious meal would bring him good luck and let him know which famous director or producer Heavenly Queen ye had met.
Of course, it would be even better if he could get an opportunity to do so.
The producer didn’t know much about this, but it was still very pleasant to eat such a delicious delicacy, so Qin Minghao felt that the auspicious rice was worthy of its auspicious name.
A layer of hot b.u.t.ter was doused on the rice, so the snow-white sugar had been turned into dense syrup, which surrounded the entire rice. It was as if the raisins were covered in a transparent coat, and even the rice was no exception. It exuded a sweet smell from the inside out.
“It’s so sweet,”
Even without eating, Qin Minghao felt that it was very sweet just by looking at it, not to mention that the sweetness was constantly indicating its existence.
When he reached out his hand and was about to touch the rice, Qin Minghao stopped and looked at his hand, then at the chopsticks at the side. After a short second of thinking, he still decided to use his hand!
Qin Minghao was already very used to the slightly hot temperature. He used his hand to roll the rice into a ball, and the various ingredients were rolled together. Then, he immediately put it into his mouth. The first feeling was indeed sweet, but it was not the kind of sweet that was too sweet to swallow. It was a very smooth sweetness, followed by the toughness of the rice, the pure sweetness of the raisins, and the sweet and juicy taste of the ginseng fruit.
Even if the ginseng fruit was already cooked, it still retained its fragrance. Therefore, even if many of the ingredients in the ginseng fruit rice were very sweet, people would not feel sick because of its addition. On the contrary, there was always a fresh fragrance penetrating through it, making people want to eat a second bite after eating one.
Qin Minghao’s fingers moved quickly, and he finished the bowl of rice in no time. He smacked his mouth as if he had not had enough, and then touched his slightly bloated stomach. He felt that he should be able to eat some chicken.
If Yuan Zhou hadn’t provided him with the paper towel, Qin Minghao might have needed to wash his hands before he could continue eating, although it was only a piece of paper.
To eat or not to eat was a question that required careful consideration. Qin Minghao considered for three seconds and decided that he still had to eat the chicken. He had to try the taste no matter what. Hence, he called su Ruoyan over and very freely added two dishes, one white cut chicken and one red braised chicken.
Eating two at a time, good things come in pairs, there was no problem at all.
