Chapter 922: French Sauce
The reason why French cuisine is the most expensive cuisine in the world is inseparable from its sauce.
Of course, after seeing this sentence, it is estimated that many people will criticize Jiang Hai for being unpatriotic. When it comes to expensive cuisines, Chinese food should be the most well-deserved, but in this world, everything must be average.
There are indeed many expensive ways to eat Chinese food, but within the reach of ordinary people, it is actually very cheap.
Like roadside restaurants, it can only be said that the price range of Chinese food is very wide, and French food, basically as long as it is a French restaurant, even if you go in and just eat a plate of fried rice, it will be more expensive than Chinese fried rice. Several times, even dozens, hundreds of times.
The upper limit may vary, but at the lower limit, it is obvious that French food is not for ordinary people.
Sauce is the essence of French food. Almost every chef has his own secret sauce, and the taste is different.
But basically, they are all variations from six French sauces.
These six sauces are also called the six basic sauces. One of the most famous is black pepper sauce, which is definitely known to friends who often eat steak. But anyone who really knows the industry knows that black pepper sauce is made from beef. It's made from bone roasting sauce.
The beef bone sauce is the basic one among the six basic sauces. This sauce is made from beef bones. It was formed in the late 19th century, that is, in the 18th century. To make this sauce, you need to turn the beef bones every twenty minutes in the oven. It needs to be roasted for a total of five hours, and then put into the soup and simmer for three days, 72 hours. These three days During this time, the fire cannot be stopped and the water cannot be dried. The purpose is to give full play to the aroma that penetrates into the bone marrow and integrate the collagen in the beef bones into the soup. The beef bone sauce produced in this way is the most authentic.
However, currently more than 90% of the black pepper juice in the world is filled with purchased black pepper juice, and these black pepper juices are made from purchased roasted sauce powder and mixed with water. The taste is almost the same to laymen. , but when an expert eats it, one goes to heaven and one goes to earth.
In addition to these two sauces, there is also mushroom juice, which is also a big family. It uses cream as the base and adds different mushrooms to produce different flavors. Among this big family, the most luxurious one is naturally Black truffle juice is made from French black truffles. Jiang Hai also has truffles here, so Qi Ya also made this kind of sauce for Jiang Hai.
In addition, there is Pomez juice, which has been recorded in French recipes since 1836.
It is a derivative of French hollandaise sauce. The name of the sauce was born in memory of Henry IV, the founder of the Bourbon dynasty, so it was named after his production, Pomez.
There is also blue cheese sauce, which is a sauce made from cheese. It is rich in milk and has a rich taste. But unfortunately, Jiang Hai does not produce cheese here, so no one in his manor can make this. He only ate out.
The last thing I want to introduce is Bordeaux sauce, also known as red wine sauce. This kind of sauce is very particular. If you want to make it well, you must use Bordeaux red wine sauce, dry red, white wine, etc. No, it doesn't work, and the place of origin is also very important. Only red wine produced in the Bordeaux region can be used to make red wine sauce.
Also use beef bone sauce as the base, add red wine and spices to cook, and finally add beef bone marrow to enhance the taste.
The best match is Bazars beef originating from Bordeaux, but Jiang Hai’s Angus beef is no worse than these beef cattle.
Of course, this kind of sauce should never be paired with beef that is too fatty. For example, the most famous Wagyu beef in the island country will conflict with this kind of sauce. This is not aimed at anyone, but it is just the way it is.
Jiang Hai's red wine juice cannot be imported from Bordeaux. Dulles-Gerard also knows the method of making this kind of red wine, so when making wine, he specially brewed some specially for cooking. of wine.
For example, the red wine used to stew beef, such as the red wine used to make this kind of red wine sauce, there are many kinds.
Of course, every kind of red wine is different, but in Jiang Hai's family, the only one who can make it clear is Qi Ya.
Originally, after catching a lamprey, Jiang Hai refused to eat anything because it was too ugly. However, when Qi Ya followed the recipe and made the European royal family's favorite dish of lamprey with Bordeaux sauce, Jiang Hai Hai fell in love with this kind of food.
No one is born not to like to eat something. You don’t like to eat because you haven’t eaten delicious food.
Just like people in Bingcheng, there are almost no people who like to eat rabbit because the food is too unpalatable, especially the famous smoked rabbit in Bingcheng. Jiang Hai, a local, definitely doesn't like eating it because it's fishy and tasteless. , the meat quality is still good.
But after the people over there go to the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, the people in Bingcheng will be stunned by the rabbit practices there.
Baton Rabbit and Griddle Rabbit, these methods and tastes are absolutely not available in Bingcheng.
The same is true for lampreys. Lampreys are not even edible in China because they are said to be poisonous, but in the United States and Europe, they are a supreme delicacy. To be honest, they taste a bit like eels, but the meat quality is different. Much more delicious than eel.
After Jiang Hai and Philemon lowered the cage, they started fishing first. They didn't have to worry about firing their guns. They could just shoot two shuttles when they left. If they fired now, they would scare away the fish.
We hung up and got minced beef from the dock. Jiang Hai had a pole, Philemon had a pole, Louis Turner and John Turner had poles. They sat in the boat and waited. Sea fish and river fish are somewhat similar. There are also some that are not very similar, because the sea does not freeze, so the sea fish themselves are not lacking in oxygen or food, while the river fish are because there will be a layer of ice on the river, like in Jiang Hai Manor. The artificial river is almost covered with half a meter of ice.
Because the river is frozen, there is insufficient oxygen and food is reduced. In order to adapt to this kind of life, the fish will try to remain still and not move as much as possible without food.
Therefore, it is very easy to fish in the river in winter, especially in Winthrop. If you make a hole on the river, fish will even jump out of it, because it is too trapped down there.
But in the sea, because it is also very cold, fish don’t like to move, and they don’t like to waste energy on eating.
In addition, they do not lack oxygen, so fish in the sea are more difficult to catch than in the river in winter.
But that's only for ordinary people. Is it possible that Jiang Hai's beef can't be eaten by fish?
Ten minutes after he threw it into the sea, Jiang Hai's fishing rod started to move. At this time, Jiang Hai also suppressed his thoughts and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait. As the fishing rod was suddenly pulled away with great force, Jiang Hai also laughed, and immediately grabbed the roller on the fishing rod, and then forcibly pulled the fish back. This is Jiang Hai's powerful power. As long as the fishing rod can withstand it, even a whale can do it. Give it... uh, put it back in the ocean! When he got excited, he blew his hair. The beluga might be OK, but the killer whale and the blue whale were too exhausted to pull Jiang Hai up. After all, he was only eight times the limit of human body. He had better not think about things weighing dozens of tons. .
According to the standards of the modern Olympic Games, the physical limit of human beings is more than 105 kilograms, and the clean and jerk is more than 260 kilograms. As for the physical limits of human beings, in the Marvel world, Captain America, who has reached the physical limits of human beings, has a strength of about It is 1,000 pounds, less than 500 kilograms. Jiang Hai is eight times the physical limit of human beings, which means he can lift about 4 tons.
If you give him a car, he can easily push it over or even lift it with his explosive strength.
But if you let him carry a whale, haha... An adult killer whale weighs nearly ten tons, and maybe he can only carry more than a beluga!
But obviously, the fish Jiang Hai hooked was not a whale, and the whale was not a fish... As Jiang Hai quickly pulled the roller, a struggling fish appeared in front of Jiang Hai. , a big fish with red light was pulled into the air by him, and then fell on the boat. Seeing this scene, John Turner and Louis Turner also rushed over immediately, took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures Get up, they have seen this kind of fish before, but this is the first time they see it alive.
"Wow, it's a red snapper, you're pretty lucky!" Looking at the big fish that was almost 60 centimeters long in front of him, Jiang Hai also laughed, and then after the two of them took the photo, he took it off The fishhook was thrown into the water tank next to it.
"Yes, but he is a big guy, boss, don't you Chinese people pay attention to a good start!" After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon couldn't help but smile as he looked at the fish in front of him, and At this moment, he felt his hand sink. It seemed that he had passed a school of fish. He had no way to pull the fish up directly like Jiang Hai, so he was slipping the fish and calling himself My two sons, don’t look at that fish. They are passing the school of fish now. It’s a good time to catch fish.
Maybe in winter, the allure of lugworms and the like for these marine fish plummets, so Jianghai's beef is the best bait all year round. The aura and energy contained in it is far from what some in nature can Bugs can compare.
Animals are much more sensitive than humans, and they will not let go of these aura-rich beef.
Just as John and Louie Turner returned to their rods, their rods were bitten as well.
But compared to their father, they were far behind. They tried to pull back, but they couldn't pull the fish in, and even if they tried to slip away, they couldn't. Jiang Hai couldn't help but laugh and looked at them. Jiang Hai suddenly remembered himself when he first came here.
When he went fishing, he seemed to be very stupid and caught a shark by force. But it was precisely because he caught that shark that his fishing ground now has such a patron saint! (To be continued.)
