Chapter 326: What You Eat Is Not Food, But Elegance
Everyone's eyes involuntarily shifted to the bamboo tube rice on the table that looked like a small boat, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
These bamboo tubes have been processed, and a "window" has been opened in the upper half of the bamboo tube, but the "bamboo window" is still covered, blocking the delicious food inside.
It can be eaten only after it is opened.
Bamboo tube rice is not only available in baked or steamed varieties, but also in salty and sweet varieties.
Everyone chose their favorite flavors and opened the bamboo windows above.
For a moment, the rich aroma of food swept in like a wave, arousing the gluttony deep in people's hearts.
Prince An had never eaten roasted rice and wanted to try it.
He chose a savory bamboo tube of roasted rice, opened the upper half of the bamboo tube, and the bacon and mixed rice inside instantly came into view.
Glossy and plump glutinous rice, amber bacon, orange-red diced carrots, green green beans, dark brown diced mushrooms, and golden corn kernels.
The bacon bamboo tube rice was filled up in a half-split bamboo tube. The whole thing was shining with an attractive oily sheen, and was covered with a layer of bamboo membrane, exuding fragrance.
Prince An stared at the bacon rice in front of him and couldn't wait to pick up some rice with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The moment you put the bamboo tube rice in your mouth, the sweetness of glutinous rice, the rich aroma of bacon, the freshness of pork, the sweetness of mushrooms, green beans, and carrots, mixed with the aroma of bamboo, flow between your lips and teeth.
The fat in the bacon had nowhere to escape under the roasting and was absorbed by the glutinous rice.
The glutinous rice is full of oil, with a firm and chewy texture, combined with the aroma of other ingredients and the faint bamboo fragrance.
It's really delicious.
Mo Zhishan also likes salty food, but he eats steamed bamboo tube rice.
Although the ingredients are the same, there are still some differences between roasted bamboo tube rice and steamed bamboo tube rice due to different cooking methods.
The latter also involves filling glutinous rice and fillings into a bamboo tube, which is then placed in a pot and cooked thoroughly with boiling water.
As the steam continues to rise, the water vapor slowly seeps into the food along the inner wall of the bamboo tube, and the fragrance of bamboo and the mellow taste of glutinous rice blend with each other.
When the bamboo tube on top was slowly opened, a mixture of the aroma of rice, bamboo and meat wafted to the face.
Mo Zhishan looked at the pleasing "bamboo boat" in front of him and couldn't help but applaud, "Excellent, excellent."
He likes this kind of elegant food the most. It is delicate and tasteful, and it makes people happy just by looking at it.
When the bamboo tube on top was slowly opened, a mixture of the aroma of rice, bamboo and meat wafted to the face.
Mo Zhishan was in a good mood and curved his eyebrows. Not only was his face beautiful, but it also smelled very good.
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up some rice and put it into his mouth.
The glutinous rice is soft and delicious, with a faint fragrance of young bamboo.
The carrots were crunchy and sweet.
The green beans are soft and chewy, and the corn kernels are sweet and plump.
As you chew, a variety of flavors bloom on the tip of your tongue, making you intoxicated.
Other people present were also immersed in the shock and surprise brought by the bamboo tube rice, with different expressions.
Some people chewed the delicious food in their mouths with great cherishment and were reluctant to swallow it for a long time.
Some people savored the aroma between their lips and teeth, and from time to time glanced in the direction of Shen Zhaonian, with envy and jealousy flashing in their eyes.
Someone swallowed the delicious food in his mouth and couldn't help but praise it.
"It's delicious. I've never eaten such exquisite and novel rice. The glutinous rice is soft and delicious, and the ingredients are also very delicious. The most rare thing is the bamboo fragrance, which is fresh, natural, elegant and peaceful."
As soon as these words were spoken, others began to echo them.
"Yes, this bamboo fragrance is the most unique. When eating bamboo rice, the rice grains are fragrant and sticky, and the bamboo fragrance is everywhere. There is always a feeling of being surrounded by the bamboo fragrance, and even the soul feels purified."
"The bamboo tube rice is delicious and tasty, and what's even better is the presentation of the beautiful artistic conception, fresh and natural. It gives people a feeling of being in an empty mountain after rain."
"When you put it that way, it really seems like I'm in the middle of an empty mountain after the rain. Wonderful, really wonderful."
Literati have loved bamboo since ancient times.
Most of the people present have a sentimental feeling for bamboo tubes, and naturally they love the bamboo tube rice cooked with new bamboo from the bottom of their hearts.
They had never thought before that bamboo could be associated with food.
What I didn’t expect was that this seemingly ordinary bamboo tube rice actually brought out the simple, elegant and tranquil beauty of bamboo to the fullest, and also had a unique charm.
What you are eating is not just rice, it is clearly elegance.
Mr. Huang ate the bamboo tube rice and fruit tea with great relish.
Sure enough, the decision to overcome all difficulties and bring Shen Huazheng to Sinong Temple was completely correct.
We can hold more such dinner parties in the future.
Hahaha! ! !
Unlike Lord Huang's ecstasy, Lord Xiao's mood at this moment was somewhat complicated.
He had always regretted not "snatching" Shen Huazheng away from Mr. Huang, but now he felt that compared to the Ministry of Works, Sinong Temple seemed to be more suitable for Shen Huazheng.
When it comes to food, Chen Huazheng always comes up with all kinds of clever ideas, and Sinong Temple has all kinds of ingredients for her to use.
Of course, this was just a thought that suddenly popped into his mind after he tasted the bamboo tube rice.
This does not mean that Lord Xiao has completely given up the idea of winning over Shen Huazheng.
If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely not hesitate to snatch people from Sinong Temple and let Shen Huazheng come to the Ministry of Works.
Chen Huazheng and the others were also eating bamboo tube rice happily, and drinking milk tea or fruit tea from time to time.
Princess Lejia took a sip of milk tea and said, "I found that bamboo tube rice and bamboo tube oolong tea go really well together."
Zhou Ying swallowed the rice in her mouth and said, "It goes well with fruit tea, especially the tangerine flavor."
Zhou Zeyan also chimed in: "I also like bamboo tube oolong tea. I always feel that it is more fragrant than ordinary milk tea. I didn't expect that this bamboo tube rice also has a unique flavor. It seems that bamboo can not only make delicious drinks, but also delicious meals. Zheng'er is really smart."
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "In addition to making drinks and meals, bamboo can also be made into desserts. I'll make some for you to try next time."
[The coconut-flavored bamboo tube double skin milk is the best. Like the bamboo tube rice, it is also made of bamboo tubes. It tastes sweet and fragrant like bamboo, plus the rich coconut aroma. It is really delicious. 】
Princess Lejia & Zhou Ying & Zhou Zeyan: !!!
Shuangpi milk is already so delicious, if you add the aroma of bamboo and coconut...
My God, I can’t even imagine how delicious it must be.
The three of them reacted quickly and said in unison:
"Okay, okay, Zheng Zheng, you must remember this."
"Zheng'er, remember to call me when you make dessert."
"Zheng'er, your cousin is waiting for you. Don't forget it."
Shen Huazheng laughed: "Of course."
