Chapter 463 Things must turn against each other when they reach their extremes

I have to say, Mr. Xie is really lucky.

Eat all the way from the capital to the northwest.

With Lord Xiao Shen around, Old Xie and the others must have had a lot of delicious food on the road.

Thinking of the food he had barely eaten to fill his stomach along the way, Ning Yu felt both envious and jealous.

It's true that people have different fates.

Humph, he’s going to give Old Xie a good meal later.

Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!!

There are also certain rules for eating fish and mutton hotpot. The first step is to drink the soup.

Zhou Ying put the spoon into the bowl, stirred it gently, then scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it into her mouth.

The soup slowly flows into the throat, and the sweet taste immediately lingers on the tip of the tongue.

The blending of water and fat is incredibly delicious.

Princess Lejia beside her was also happily drinking the soup in her bowl: "No wonder it's called Yuyangxian, it's really delicious!!"

In addition to mutton, this soup also contains crucian carp and other seasonings and ingredients. Compared with ordinary pure mutton soup, the taste is richer.

To be precise, this soup is better than ordinary fish soup and mutton soup. After a long period of stewing, all the essence has been dissolved in the soup.

The soup is fragrant but not greasy, salty and fresh with a hint of sweetness, refreshing and nourishing.

As Princess Lejia drank, she even felt that she could eat a bowl of rice just with the soup.

It’s really delicious.

The soup base is so delicious, how about having hot pot later? ?

Shen Huazheng took a sip of the soup: "The 'fresh' in Yuyangxian refers to the whole dish. Not only is the soup base fresh, but the mutton and fish in it are also fresh."

There are several legends about the origin of the word "鲜", one of which is related to Confucius.

It is said that Confucius led his disciples to travel around the countries, preaching the scriptures.

At the beginning, they encountered difficulties everywhere.

We had no fixed place to stay along the way and often had no food to eat.

Later one day, a disciple accidentally obtained a piece of sheep bone with meat on it from a wealthy family.

Another disciple went to the river, caught a fish, and took it back as well.

Since there was only one pot, everyone put these two ingredients that had absolutely no connection in any way into the pot and cooked them together.

After cooking, I found that the taste was very unique. The fish meat no longer had a fishy smell, and the mutton no longer had a strong smell.

One taste and you'll find it incredibly delicious.

Thus, the word "fresh" came into being, which was composed of the words "fish" and "sheep".

Although it is not known whether this legend is true, there is a record of "braised turtle and fresh fish" in "The Book of Songs·Da Ya·Han Yi".

The Tao Te Ching also mentions: "Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish."

This shows that the word "鲜" had already appeared at least in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was widely used in various books.

Princess Lejia couldn't hold it in anymore after drinking a small bowl of soup.

"Yes, the soup base is so fresh, the ingredients inside must be even fresher."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of mutton with the serving chopsticks and put it in the bowl, then started eating.

The heat of the fish and mutton pot is well controlled, and the mutton is soft and tasty. It can be easily removed from the bone by biting it with your teeth and pulling it gently.

With a little force of the tongue and mouth, the juice in the mutton will overflow, making the tongue feel slightly numb.

As you chew it, the unique aroma of mutton quickly explodes between your lips and teeth, and the delicate taste makes you unable to stop.

If you taste it carefully, you can still feel the freshness of the crucian carp.

Ahhh, it’s really delicious!!!

Zhou Ying also picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, dipped it in the spicy sauce, and put it into her mouth.

The moment you put it in your mouth, the spicy stimulation jumps to the tip of your tongue, and then the deliciousness of the mutton is slowly released.

The lamb is tender and juicy, yet chewy.

During the stewing process, the sweetness of the crucian carp seeps into the fibers of the mutton, making the taste of the mutton even more delicious.

It even has a sweet taste.

This complex and wonderful taste simply makes your taste buds cheer.

Every bite brings joy and every mouthful satisfies the palate.

After swallowing, the aftertaste of heat and fragrance still lingers in the mouth, making people linger.

Zhou Ying savored the indescribable deliciousness between her lips and teeth, her eyes full of amazement.

This is what mutton and fish taste like when cooked together.

No wonder Zheng'er said it would make people's eyebrows drop.

The combination of fish and sheep perfectly interprets the meaning of "freshness".

She sighed in her heart and started eating crucian carp.

Shen Huazheng tasted the mutton, then picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.

After the crucian carp absorbs the fat from the mutton, it becomes more tender and smooth.

Be extra careful when moving the chopsticks. If you are not careful, the fish will slip off the chopsticks.

When you put it in your mouth and taste it carefully, you will find that the fish meat is fresh, sweet and delicate, and the fat aroma of mutton tightly wraps the fish meat, making the freshness more lasting and sweet aftertaste.

As you chew, the aroma of fish and mutton intertwine with each other, making the flavor not only more intense but also more mellow and mellow.

During the meal, the three of them ate the mutton and fish in the pot with gusto and couldn't stop eating.

Zhou Ying raised her head in the midst of her busy schedule and said, "Zheng'er, this fish and mutton hotpot is uniquely prepared and is truly the best delicacy on earth. If we open a restaurant here, we can use this hotpot as our signature dish."

The biggest feature of this pot is that it combines the essence of mutton and fish together. Not only is there no contradiction, but it complements each other.

The soup is delicious and tasty, fresh but not fishy, ​​mellow but not greasy.

The fish meat absorbs the aroma of the mutton and becomes even sweeter and more delicious.

The mutton is blended with the sweetness of the fish, making the taste more mild.

The fish and mutton collide on the tip of the tongue, and the double umami flavors intertwine to form an intoxicating taste.

Princess Lejia swallowed the fish in her mouth and agreed, "I think it will sell well. People here like to eat mutton, so they will definitely like this dish. This novel method is unique."

She rolled her eyes and said, "I think we can sell it in Beijing. Although the mutton in Beijing is not as good as here, it is not much worse. We can sell fish and mutton in Yipinlou and the food court. Although this combination may surprise people, I guarantee that many people will like it."

Many people would never imagine that fish and lamb can be cooked together, let alone that they taste so delicious.

Mutton has a strong smell, and fish has a fishy smell. The combination of these two ingredients with strong odors not only does not taste strange, but is also very delicious.

Maybe this is what is called "everything goes to extremes and then turns into its opposite".

Anyway, no matter what the reason is, just know that fish and mutton are delicious.

Everyone is a foodie, and if they are foodies, they will definitely pay for their taste buds.
