Chapter 51 Perfect
In Mo Qingyan's world, there is such a saying.
In the north there is braised pork, and in the south there is beef offal.
The stewed food in the north is the most delicious. In the south, beef offal is the most delicious.
No matter what the recipe is, once these two appear, the fragrance will almost fill the entire street.
There is no need to mention the beef offal made by Mo Qingyan.
Sixteen kinds of ingredients are used, while ordinary beef offal actually only uses twelve kinds of ingredients.
The beef offal cooked with sixteen kinds of ingredients will be more fragrant and taste more mellow.
Traditional beef offal generally includes beef tripe, beef intestines, beef lungs, beef heart, beef tendons, beef hooves, beef blood, beef liver, beef cartilage, etc.
Mo Qingyan didn't want the ox blood.
Generally speaking, beef offal does not contain beef.
However, there are not many offal from a cow.
So, Mo Qingyan just ate the whole cow.
After it’s done, there are three large buckets.
Before chef Mo Qingyan tasted the food, Song Beichen and the others tasted it for him.
To be honest, when Mo Qingyan first said she wanted to make beef offal, Song Beichen and the others thought it was nothing.
After all, there are beef offal dishes in China.
But it is limited to beef tripe, beef intestines, and beef tendons.
And when cooking, there is always one dish of beef tripe, one dish of beef intestines, and another dish of beef tendons.
It is rare to see a mixture like Mo Qingyan's.
What's more, Mo Qingyan added so many ingredients to make it, which was unprecedented.
At the beginning, when they were cleaning the internal organs, the smell was indeed not very good. To be honest, Song Beichen and the others were a little resistant.
After all, they don’t usually have to cook, they just have to wait to eat.
Just because I believe in Mo Qingyan’s cooking skills.
However, when the beef offal began to cook and the aroma began to waft out, they knew that trusting Mo Qingyan was indeed the right thing to do.
At first Mo Qingyan thought they were just talking. Unexpectedly, they actually filled a pot with beef offal.
That basin is bigger than Mo Qingyan’s face.
When they picked up a piece of beef offal and put it into their mouths impatiently, their eyes widened at the same time.
It was a taste they had never tasted before.
The first thing that strikes you when you take a bite of this beef offal is its fragrance.
The fragrance is even stronger than the one you smell.
That fragrance is different from the fresh fragrance of three-fresh dumplings, and it is also different from the refreshing fragrance of cold noodles.
This is a very rich, savory flavor.
In fact, this fragrance is better than three-fresh dumplings and cold noodles. More soul-stirring.
Whether it is beef tripe or beef intestines, there is not a single fishy smell of beef offal.
After a long period of cooking, every piece of beef offal has been thoroughly flavored.
The tenderness of the beef tripe, the chewiness of the beef intestines, the crispness of the beef lungs and tendons; different parts have different tastes.
The stewed beef brisket is neither particularly soft nor particularly tough. Instead, it has a soft and tender texture with a slight toughness. It is chewy but easy to chew.
The beef is soaked in thick soup. When you eat it with the soup, it is tender, smooth, chewy and juicy. It’s so fragrant and delicious.
The taste of tripe and other internal organs is completely different from that of beef, but they each have their own characteristics and their own deliciousness.
The most important thing is that the feeling of eating meat in big mouthfuls is simply wonderful.
Beef offal is already delicious. When dipped in the garlic chili sauce that Mo Qingyan made herself, it was so delicious that one almost swallowed his tongue.
Although the garlic chili sauce has a strong flavor, it does not cover the salty fragrance of the beef offal. On the contrary, it is like a key that opens another door to the beef offal.
The slight spicy garlic flavor adds a touch of freshness to the already salty and rich flavor of the beef offal.
The minced garlic eliminated some of the greasy taste in the beef offal.
The slight pull stimulates the taste buds and completely opens the door to the appetite.
It makes people unable to stop eating.
The carrots added at the end were not stewed too soft, but had a slight crispness.
After absorbing the rich flavor of the beef offal soup, it still retains a sweet taste.
After eating the beef offal, take a bite of radish and the greasy feeling will be immediately removed.
Moreover, the white radish absorbs the fat from the beef offal, reducing the greasiness while adding a touch of sweetness to the beef offal soup.
This white radish and beef offal are simply a match made in heaven, the best match in the universe.
The most important thing is that this fragrant fruit beef also has a light apple fragrance.
This aroma is most obvious in beef bones.
When the soup is boiled, the faint apple aroma has already been boiled out.
The light apple flavor combined with the carefully blended spices actually completely removes some of the unpleasant smells in the beef offal. It makes the taste of the soup even better.
Once you eat it, you can’t stop eating.
After Mo Qingyan tasted it herself, she felt that the beef offal could already be given a score of 98.
This beef offal has the highest score and the best taste among all the dishes he makes.
The taste of this beef offal is absolutely perfect. The reason why Mo Qingyan didn’t give it full marks is that she was afraid of becoming too proud.
However, in the eyes of Song Beichen and his friends, this beef offal really got 100% perfect marks.
No, that’s not 100%, it’s 200%.
What's more, is their love for beef offal.
They loved it so much that they couldn't stop eating it.
To describe it as wolfing down the food and gobbling it up in no time is really the most appropriate.
Mo Qingyan watched them eating voraciously, which reminded him of his second senior brother who was good at eating.
"Can you guys slow down and pay attention to your image? This is still being broadcast live!"
Song Beichen looked up and said, "Oh my god, it's been a while since I was on stage, I can't stop Xia Kai..."
"Uh..." Mo Qingyan's mouth twitched: "Can you swallow it before talking?"
Song Beichen chewed quickly, then swallowed it, and then spoke again: "Brother Mo, it's so delicious, I can't stop eating it!"
The kind that really can't be stopped.
“This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten.”
Mo Qingyan said: "You often say this, but it's not very credible."
The last time we ate fried rice, they said this, and the same thing when we ate three-fresh dumplings and cold noodles.
Tao Zui looked up and said, "Brother Mo, you are always updating the recipes. As long as you make it, it's the most delicious."
Yin Yiyi also quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, and then agreed: "Yes, and Brother Mo always brings us new delicacies, which are both surprising and delicious."
"Even though I don't eat offal, I think this beef offal is delicious. Brother Mo, you have to be considerate of us ordinary people who have never eaten good food." Zina said with confidence.
What is image? Is it important?
It doesn’t matter, okay? What’s important is the beef offal in front of them.
"Okay, okay, eat, keep eating. Eat as much as you can. If you really can't eat anymore, don't force yourself."
Looking at the pot of beef offal in front of them, Mo Qingyan was afraid that they would eat too much.
"Don't worry, Brother Mo, we are not children anymore."
"Yeah, we'll pay attention."
That being said, after they finished the bowl of beef offal in front of them, they were unable to move.
Apart from Yin Yiyi and Qi Na, the two girls had some image and could lean back on the sofa.
Song Beichen and Tao Zui lay on the sofa in a mess, holding their six or seven month-old bellies, groaning.
Mo Qingyan held her forehead with her hand.
Well, what he just said was in vain.
At 4:50 p.m., all the beef offal had been cut and packed into boxes.
Each box of beef offal and radish weighs about half a pound.
The main reason is that radish accounts for a large proportion of the weight. There aren't actually a lot of beef offal.
After all, the offal from a cow is not actually that much.
The most common is beef.
After beef, there is beef ribs.
The big beef bones were shaved off and used to make soup, and the rest were small ribs.
When packing, try to make sure every box contains beef offal and the like.
However, there are only three or four pieces in each box at most.
Therefore, each box of beef offal is slightly different.
Some are filled with cow tripe and cow lungs, and some are filled with cow intestines and cow liver.
Compared with beef, cow offal seems to be particularly rare.
After all the beef offal were packed, except for those that Mo Qingyan and others had eaten.
The remaining beef offal was packed into 325 boxes in total.
After all the beef offal is packed, go to the stall, put it directly into boxes, add beef offal soup, and you can eat it directly.
Of course, Mo Qingyan also brought a small bucket of garlic chili sauce.
It's not good to eat beef offal without chili sauce.
When Mo Qingyan arrived, she was surprised by the number of people queuing in front of the stall.
I saw that the queue in front of his stall was circling several circles, filling up the space next to it.
In this queue, you can see many blue, yellow and green riders.
Mo Qingyan even saw someone holding a sign asking for help queuing.
At the same time, it has also boosted the business of many milk tea and cold drinks industries.
Almost everyone in the queue had a cup.
Seeing Mo Qingyan and others coming, the people in the queue immediately became agitated.
"Here he comes, Brother Mo is here with his beef offal."
"Woo woo, I finally got Brother Mo. Fortunately, I didn't give up."
"Brother Mo, my heart is about to break waiting for you..."
"It's not easy, it's not easy, I'm almost like a lost cause."
…
Some people who had been filming for several hours were so excited that they cried.
It’s really not an exaggeration, after all, except for those at the end. Those who were a little ahead had already been queuing for several hours.
Fortunately, there is shade in the hall, otherwise we would have been dried out after waiting in line for several hours.
Now that Mo Qingyan is finally here, how can I not be excited?
"Here he comes, Brother Mo is here. Mo Qi, let's go." Xu Yi grabbed Gao Mo Qi and walked to the front of the team.
Then let the rider give up the position to them.
As soon as Mo Qingyan walked to the stall, she saw Xu Yi and Gao Moqi sitting in the first and second positions.
"You're here quite early?" Mo Qingyan was a little surprised that Xu Yi was in the front row again.
This time, Xu Yi ranked second.
The last time I sold three-fresh dumplings. Xu Yi was also there, and was also ranked first.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan was deeply impressed by him.
"It's quite early. I asked the riders to line up here at 9 o'clock. I even delivered lunch to the riders at noon!"
Of course, the riders can also get a lot of fees.
"Nine o'clock?" Mo Qingyan didn't expect it to be so early.
But I heard Xu Yi say that the riders were asked to queue up. I understand now.
He is really a man with money and time.
Then, Mo Qingyan's eyes fell on Gao Moqi, who was ranked first, and she winked at him, "Judge Gao, how are you?"
There was a hint of teasing in Mo Qingyan's eyes.
"Very good." Gao Moqi's expression remained unchanged. He knew that Mo Qingyan was teasing him about being summoned by the Food Club.
Mo Qingyan heard yesterday that Gao Moqi would be back today to serve as a judge in the competition.
Since he was going to be a judge, of course he couldn't queue up by himself, so he should have asked others to queue up for him.
This made Mo Qingyan feel a little flattered.
After all, Gao Moqi is a first-level state banquet judge. If he lines up to buy his own beef offal, it is equivalent to using his own reputation to promote himself.
"Brother Mo, is the beef offal limited today?" Xu Yi looked at the insulated boxes in the hands of Song Beichen and others, and couldn't help licking his lips.
Although the incubator was covered with a lid, one could still faintly smell the fragrance coming from inside.
Chef Zhang at the back was pushing three large pots of soup and a small stainless steel bucket.
Mo Qingyan said: "Of course it's limited, one for each person. But..."
He looked at Gao Moqi, "Judge Gao can buy two copies. After all, I still need to bribe Judge Gao, right?"
Gao Moqi was suspected of accepting bribes and using a backdoor to help Mo Qingyan, which caused quite a stir.
The reason for this suspicion is because Gao Moqi directly packed up Mo Qingyan's cold noodles.
Even though Gao Moqi gave the money in front of everyone at that time, such behavior was seen as a cover-up in the eyes of others.
Therefore, some of the eliminated contestants felt unbalanced.
He reported Gao Moqi directly.
In the end, the report was unfounded and the person who reported it will of course have to pay the price.
In addition to being banned from participating in any domestic food competitions, big or small, he will also be detained for a week. Leave a criminal record.
After all, framing others is also illegal.
"Thank you very much." Gao Moqi remained calm and did not take Mo Qingyan's teasing to heart at all.
Hearing that Gao Moqi could buy two copies, Xu Yi immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother Mo, I'm with Moqi, can I buy two copies too?"
"Do you know each other?" Mo Qingyan looked at Xu Yi, then at Gao Moqi, and then a cunning flashed in her eyes, "If you know each other, then Judge Gao can only buy one copy!"
"Of course I know him."
“I don’t know him.”
The two people gave completely different answers.
Xu Yi looked at Gao Moqi in disbelief, "Gao Moqi, what did you just say? You don't know me?"
Unexpectedly, Gao Moqi nodded, "Yes, I know him, there will be one less portion."
"Huh?" Xu Yi covered his chest. "I've known you for so many years, and you actually said you don't know me? Gao Moqi, you don't even want your brothers for a little food?"
"Yeah." Gao Moqi nodded again. No hesitation at all.
Xu Yi instantly felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart.
"Judge Gao, I didn't expect you to be such a person." Mo Qingyan didn't expect that Gao Moqi would really deny knowing Xu Yi just for a bowl of beef offal.
He was just joking.
Gao Moqi remained calm and nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
Mo Qingyan smiled, "I was just joking. Your two servings of beef offal will not be less. Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."
The beef offal is already prepared and packaged.
Just add some broth and it's done.
With the help of Song Beichen and others, all the packaged beef offal were quickly sorted out.
Then, Song Beichen and Tao Zui were responsible for making the soup.
Mo Qingyan, Qi Na, and Yin Yiyi were responsible for packing.
As soon as the lid of the beef offal soup was opened, the rich aroma immediately wafted out.
Gao Moqi and Xu Yi, who were at the front, were the first to be struck by the fragrance.
Both of them were stunned by the smell.
The people behind were also strongly impacted by the fragrance.
Suddenly, the originally noisy stall became quiet.
Everyone was stunned by the fragrant aroma.
If the three-fresh dumplings are the pinnacle of fragrance, then the beef offal is the fragrance that goes straight to the soul.
It can directly invade the body through the nose and pores and reach deep into the soul.
They were stunned and waited for several seconds before they reacted.
"Oh my god, it smells so good..."
"It smells so good."
"I've never smelled anything so fragrant."
"How can this beef offal be so fragrant?"
"This is so delicious. Why do I feel like this beef offal is even more delicious than the three-fresh dumplings?"
"Three-fresh dumplings are no longer the most fragrant. The aroma of the beef brisket pot made by Brother Mo yesterday has already surpassed the three-fresh dumplings. At that time, as soon as the beef brisket pot came out, the whole Guangyuan Square was enveloped by the aroma of the beef brisket pot."
"I didn't expect that this beef offal is more delicious than the beef brisket stew."
"Just for this smell, I took a taxi here. It's totally worth it."
"Haha, I flew here overnight. I was a little hesitant and regretful at first. Although I haven't tasted it yet, after smelling the fragrance, I think it's worth it."
"I took a leave of absence to come here. Although 300 yuan was deducted from my salary, I think it is totally worth it. After all, with my current salary level, it is simply a pipe dream to want to be able to afford Xiangguo beef."
…
The time was almost right, and Mo Qingyan officially started selling beef brisket.
Gao Moqi was the first in line. Mo Qingyan took out a box of beef offal with soup from Song Beichen.
Ask Gao Moqi "Do you need garlic chili sauce?"
Garlic chili sauce?
It was the first time that Gao Moqi heard of using minced garlic to make chili sauce.
He didn't answer right away, but asked, "Did you make the sauce?"
Mo Qingyan nodded, "Yes. I made the sauce myself. It's not very spicy, just slightly spicy."
Mo Qingyan herself is not the type who can eat spicy food.
Therefore, the dishes he cooks are basically not very spicy.
Hearing that Mo Qingyan made the garlic chili sauce herself, Gao Moqi said, "Add one more serving."
Add it to one portion and leave it out for the other, so that you can taste the difference between the two portions.
"good."
Mo Qingyan added chili sauce to one of the beef offal. Then he packed up two portions of beef offal and handed them to Gao Moqi.
"Thanks."
After Gao Moqi thanked him, he scanned the code and paid.
Then, he took the beef offal and walked to one of the few chairs on the side and sat down.
"I want some garlic chili sauce too." Xu Yi said to Yin Yiyi.
After Yiyi packed the food for him and Xu Yi paid the money, he walked over and sat down opposite Gao Moqi.
The two of them opened the lid of the disposable box containing the beef offal on the spot.
As soon as the lid is opened, the fragrance hits your nose.
Gao Moqi looked down and saw two pieces of beef tripe, two pieces of beef intestines, and five or six pieces of radish in the transparent bowl-shaped box.
What was left were a few pieces of sirloin beef.
The other box contains beef tendons and beef lungs, as well as radish and beef.
Whether it is tripe, tendon or beef, they are all cut into large pieces.
Even the radishes are in big chunks.
Everything is soaked in a rich, bright brown soup, which is particularly tempting.
A box may not seem like a lot, but it’s quite filling.
For 100 yuan, you probably won’t be able to eat much if you eat ordinary beef outside.
After all, the price of beef has now reached nearly 40 yuan per pound.
Although this box of beef offal only weighs half a pound, compared with the price of Xiangguo beef, this price of 100 Chinese yuan per box is so cheap that it is almost free.
What’s more, whether it’s beef offal or beef. After cooking, they will shrink by one third.
Therefore, the price is absolutely great value.
Now it depends on the taste.
The scent is delicious, there is no doubt about it.
Gao Moqi picked up the disposable chopsticks. Instead of eating the beef, he picked up a piece of beef intestine.
Among so many ingredients, beef intestines are the most difficult to handle and the hardest to make taste good.
Among so many ingredients, this one has the strongest fishy smell.
However, the beef intestines made by Mo Qingyan did not have any strange smell at all.
The rich soup with a hint of apple and radish flavor completely soaks the beef intestines, making them fragrant, crispy and tender, making you unable to stop eating them.
The cooking time of beef intestines is just right.
Any less and it will be very hard to chew. One point more and it would be too soft and have no taste.
It can be said that this beef intestine alone is enough to get full marks from Gao Moqi.
Next comes the beef tripe, beef lungs, and beef tendons.
Then there was the sirloin beef.
Each one has a different taste. But each flavor is perfect.
Finally, the addition of radish is simply a stroke of genius.
Eating meat in big mouthfuls is easy to satisfy.
But, it's also easy to get tired of.
No matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it after eating it for a while.
However, the addition of white radish completely eliminates the greasy taste of beef offal.
It also adds a bit of freshness.
Although the fragrant fruit beef is delicious, Mo Qingyan's cooking skills make the good taste of the fragrant fruit beef reach 120% of its original effect.
Gao Moqi had also eaten beef stew made with Xiangguo beef before.
However, in front of Mo Qingyan's beef offal pot. What he had eaten before was simply garbage.
There were sixteen kinds of spices, and Gao Moqi could tell what they were.
However, even if you know that there are more than a dozen spices in the soup base, it is impossible to make such delicious beef offal.
Because the ratio of these dozen ingredients is very important.
If you put too much or too little of any of the spices, the taste will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Gao Moqi feels that the soup of this beef offal stew is the soul of the dish.
The beef offal tastes perfect without the garlic chili sauce.
The beef offal with garlic chili sauce has a different kind of amazing taste.
The taste of garlic is very strong. If too much garlic is added, it may cover up the original taste of the ingredients.
However, the garlic chili sauce made by Mo Qingyan had a strong garlic flavor, but it did not have the taste of the beef offal itself.
On the contrary, it adds some umami flavor to the salty and fragrant beef offal.
It's slightly spicy, but not choking, and very appetizing.
The taste of this garlic chili sauce is also amazing.
Gao Moqi couldn't find any reason to deduct points.
This beef offal is perfect!
