Chapter 881 Truffle Steak with Red Wine
After placing the prepared food in the food box, Zhang Nan asked Liu Bing to return to the Palace of Health and Heart with the food box.
Of course, when Liu Bing put four steaks into the food box in turn, Zhang Nan also sighed at the wisdom of the ancients. Although it was just a small food box, it was exquisite and tight.
There are four layers of food boxes, and they are not just stacked up and down to remove them. They are like double-door refrigerators. After opening, the layered boxes are like drawers, layer by layer.
With the exquisite carving patterns on the food box, Zhang Nan felt that this food box could be sold for a lot of money just by putting it in modern times.
After returning to the Palace of Health and Heart, Zhang Nan asked Liu Bing to take out the prepared truffle steak.
As soon as Liu Bing opened the food box, the entire Yangxin Hall was filled with the aroma of steak. This aroma was so domineering that the spices used in the Yangxin Hall of Comrade Li Er were no match for it. The moment the food box was opened, the original taste of Yangxin Hall disappeared.
"Huh, Qingquan, this beef is so fragrant." After Li Er, who was a little hungry, did not keep his index finger from stirring when he asked about such a fragrant steak.
"That's natural. This is made by me. Your Majesty, you must try it. Just so I handed this dish to the imperial chef in the palace. When the emperor wants to eat it, he will just let someone cook it. Of course, if this truffle is finished, it can be replaced with other seasoning ingredients."
Zhang Nan still believes in Comrade Li Er’s imperial chef skills. After all, the whole process is not very difficult. Even if the truffles are used up, Zhang Nan also believes that the people in the imperial kitchen who want to please Comrade Li Er can find ten and eight kinds of truffles.
"Well, Qingquan, you are determined. Come and let me taste your skills." After Li Er said that, he went to the front of the table and waited for food.
Although Zhang Nan knew that this steak was eaten with a knife and fork, Zhang Nan did not intend to teach Li Er, so before putting it in the food box, all the steaks were already divided into small pieces and just needed to be picked up with chopsticks.
"But if I only eat this meat, would it be a bit too dry?" Empress Changsun was also in trouble when she looked at the large piece of beef tenderloin in front of her. Empress Changsun's daily appetite was not large, and this was pure meat food, which made Empress Changsun, who liked food and soup on weekdays, also felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, Empress..." Before Zhang Nan finished speaking, Empress Changsun spoke: "Why, would you like to call the emperor as your father, and wouldn't you like to call me the queen as your mother?"
When Zhang Nan heard Empress Changsun say this, she had to change her words. However, this did not stop Zhang Nan from complaining about the couple in his heart.
"Why should you care about these details? Do you want to be a parent?"
Of course, if the two of them could hear what Zhang Nan was saying, they would definitely tell Zhang Nan that they just wanted to.
"Although just eating meat is a bit dry, it won't work with it." After Zhang Nan said that, he took out the high-quality red wine that had been prepared.
That is the legendary Lafite in 1982.
Although this wine has become a synonym for explosive users and those who don’t understand red wine, it does not affect its ability to understand it.
Lafite is one of the world-renowned French Bordeaux wines and is the representative of French red wines. In 1982, it was a rare and good year, and the climatic conditions were excellent that year, which made the grape quality very good, so the wines of this year received unanimous praise among wine collectors around the world, so they were also very expensive.
The market price has reached almost 100,000 yuan per bottle.
However, there were very few Lafites in 1982 that were circulated on the market. At least Zhang Nan knew that the amount of Lafites in 1982 that was consumed in later generations had long exceeded the output of 1982.
But this does not affect Zhang Nan's drinking this bottle of wine. After all, the system will not sell fakes.
With a "bang", Zhang Nan pulled out the cork of the red wine with a wine opener. Although there is a standard procedure in drinking such expensive red wine.
But because it was eaten by oneself, Zhang Nan saved the wine and tried it.
In a high-end restaurant, in order to prove that the bag is changed, the bottle must be opened on the spot in front of the guests.
After the opening, the waiter handed over the cork to the guest. The guest first checked visually that the cork should not rot or deform, and then put one end of the wine soaked in front of the nose and smelled it. If there is a moldy smell, it means that the wine is stored poorly, and you can spend less money and exchange it for a new bottle.
After opening the red wine, Zhang Nan put the red wine bottle aside.
"Hey Qingquan, why don't you pour wine?" Comrade Li Er saw Zhang Nan open the red wine, but didn't drink it, which was very strange. After all, Comrade Li Er had been watching for a long time, but he didn't expect that Zhang Nan opened the red wine and put it aside.
"I am trying to sober up," Zhang Nan explained.
"Sobert? Is this wine going to sober? What does it mean?" Li Er asked strangely.
For Li Er, no matter what wine he drinks, he must drink happily to enjoy himself, which is what he usually calls a cow drink. Comrade Li Er does not have the habit of tasting wine. Of course, this is mainly because Comrade Li Er did not need to taste wine before.
"This is to allow the red wine to fully contact the air. At a suitable time, its fragrance is the strongest and the taste is the best. But I can't drink it. "Although Zhang Nan didn't have any chance to try this before, this does not mean that Zhang Nan didn't know.
"So that's it. Then I will sober up when I drink." Li Er nodded, as if I understand.
"Actually, there is no need for anything else except red wine. Just the beer we drink on weekdays, so you have to drink it when it is opened, otherwise it will become odor after being stored for a long time." Zhang Nan said.
"Let's try how to make the meat first. When the meat is half eaten, the wine will be almost done."
After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Comrade Li Er slowly picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
As the person with the highest status, Comrade Li Er did not nod, and no one could move his chopsticks. Even the chef of Zhang Nan could only watch Comrade Li Er eat with a glance.
After chewing in his mouth for a long time, Comrade Li Er finally gave up the small piece of beef in his mouth to his stomach, and then he showed a happy look in his eyes.
"Not bad, delicious. I have never eaten such tender beef. Guanyin maid must try it. Qingquan's craftsmanship is really good." Li Er said with a smile.
