Chapter 14 Chinese Cuisine Conquers the Newts
·
Rui Chen 3499
As a Chinese in his previous life, Kong Nuo had already heard about the cuisine of England.
He lived in the mountains and forests before, and the old hunter's cooking was also based on the mountains and forests, so he was very lucky not to taste the legendary star-gazing pie.
When he lived alone later, because the ingredients were limited and he was not familiar with the place where he was born, the most common food he ate was barbecue.
The barbecue is eaten together with the herbs that can be used to refine medicine, and it feels like eating barbecue in the Bangzi Kingdom.
The flavors of various herbs are different, and life can be regarded as a good one.
When he came to the manor, Kong Nuo's food was arranged by this house elf named Rolex.
Rolex, who learned from Hogwarts, is one of the best cooking house elves in England.
It's a pity that England itself is a gourmet desert, and the cooking method is not only simple but also rude.
The techniques of boiling, stewing, grilling, frying, and steaming can cover almost the entire English cuisine.
Their pursuit of food is also simple, that is, try not to add ingredients to keep the original flavor of the dishes.
A glass of warm milk, a small bowl of porridge, a plate of fried eggs and bacon, and a piece of buttered toast is what the Newts have for breakfast day after day.
It was an unassuming breakfast combination that suited Newt's English eating habits.
As a Chinese who has a high pursuit of food, Kong Nuo is naturally not very interested in these western breakfasts.
Rolex put a steamer and a cup of peanut soy milk in front of Kong Nuo.
"Mr. Kong Nuo! This is your fifth improved soup dumpling. According to your instructions, skin jelly is added to the meat stuffing, and the folds are exactly 36."
Looking at the hot, chubby, fist-sized soup dumpling, Kong Nuo nodded with satisfaction, "Rolex, your craftsmanship is really great! But... have you found that Italian balsamic vinegar?"
"Yes." Rolex beckoned, and Italian balsamic vinegar, which was packaged similarly to red wine, flew into his hand.
The texture of balsamic vinegar is also similar to that of red wine, the color will be deeper, and there is a little grape aroma in addition to the sour taste.
The black vinegar blended with wine vinegar and concentrated grape juice is essentially different from the Huaxia mature vinegar made from sorghum, but this is already the best substitute that can be found here in Europe.
There were four soup dumplings in a cage, and Kong Nuo took a pair of rough chopsticks, gently picked one of them up and put it on the plate.
Gently cut open the thin skin, the amber soup flowed out, and the rich aroma of the soup slowly spread out.
"Hoo! Hoo! Ha!"
Although Kong Nuo is no longer afraid of the high temperature of the soup dumpling just out of the oven, he still blows on it habitually to cool the soup dumpling.
One sip of the soup, the delicious soup is stirring and lingering between the lips and teeth.This deliciousness continued to stimulate the taste buds, causing Kong Nuo to unconsciously open his mouth wide and suck the whole soup dumpling into his mouth.
Before he had time to comment, he picked up another springy soup dumpling.
After cutting the dough, before the soup flowed out, he poured a few drops of black vinegar on it, and then directly sucked the steaming steaming soup dumpling into his mouth.
The sweet and sour taste of black vinegar that belongs to grapes improves the umami taste of soup and meat filling by several levels, leaving people with endless aftertaste.
"Mr. Kong Nuo, do you think there is anything that needs improvement?" Rolex asked from the side.
Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, the meat stuffing in the soup dumpling still had some flaws.
European meat pigs are not barrows, so no matter how you pay attention, there will still be some smell when cooking.
If we put aside the smell of mutton, under the 85-point scoring system, this soup dumpling can score at least [-] points.
"Excellent! Really excellent!" he exclaimed. "With these ingredients you can make such a taste, and it is the best house-elf in England!"
Hearing this sentence, Rolex was moved to tears. After bowing and thanking him continuously, he also brought the remaining four cages of soup dumplings to Kong Nuo.
Just as Kong Nuo was attacking the third cage of soup dumpling, Newt's voice suddenly sounded: "Kon Nuo, this thing called soup dumpling...why is it so fragrant?"
Kong Nuo looked up, and saw that the food on the dinner plate of the two old men hadn't moved at all. While swallowing, they looked at the cage beside him.
Kong Nuo felt a little distressed and put a cage of soup dumplings in front of the Newts, "Try it! It's more convincing than anything else! But be careful of burning it."
The Newts wanted to fork the soup dumpling into the plate, but they were afraid that the fragrant soup inside would run off.
After trying the fork, knife, and spoon in turn, the couple took out their wands and cast a floating spell on the soup dumpling, which landed the soup dumpling on the plate smoothly.
Following Kong Nuo's example, the two of them cut open the dough of the soup-filling dumpling, and continued to blow until there was no white smoke before they began to suck the soup, showing expressions of great enjoyment.
"Merlin's beard!" Newt sighed after eating a soup dumpling. "I've seen similar food in Huaxia before, but unfortunately I was in a hurry and didn't taste it myself."
"After eating this soup dumpling this time, I finally understand why those Chinese friends feel sorry because I didn't eat the soup dumpling."
"Huaxia?" Kong Nuo put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Are there Huaxia in this world? Do they also use magic wands? Or what do they use to cast spells? Mahogany swords? Can they draw spells?"
"Hiss... this... I don't seem to remember it... Strange? Why did I mention Huaxia?" Newt scratched his head, and suddenly his face appeared blank, "What did I just say?"
Kong Nuo also felt a sudden pain in his head, and the golden pill of martial arts suddenly flashed...
After the fleeting pain, he also forgot what he asked just now.
"How do you feel? Is this soup dumpling better than your egg and bacon?" Kong Nuo asked with a smile.
"I don't think even French cuisine, which is known for its exquisiteness, can compare to this soup dumpling." Tina wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Rolex, how do you make such delicious food?"
Rolex quickly ran to his mistress, and while gesticulating, he described how to make soup dumplings.
Because of the complexity of the steps involved, even using the living magic of a house-elf would not be able to make such an elaborate soup dumpling.
Thanks to the fact that house elves are magical creatures with ingenuity, after five days of trying, Rolex finally came up with the finished soup dumpling that Kong Nuo was most satisfied with.
Cuckoo!Cuckoo!
A cry made Kong Nuo who was drinking peanut soy milk instantly alert, and then he threw the chopsticks in his hand at the source of the sound.
Newt was shocked and shouted, "Don't kill it! It's an owl! The messenger! Don't kill it!"
He lived in the mountains and forests before, and the old hunter's cooking was also based on the mountains and forests, so he was very lucky not to taste the legendary star-gazing pie.
