Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 888 882. The three chefs reunite
Professional matters should be done by professionals.

Shake people.

"Hello, Master Lin, where are you? Are you free recently?... Shunde, oh, I'm at home, I'm glad I'm free... Come over, I've come up with a new variety of mushrooms, but I don't know how to cook them, so I need your help to research them... Of course, the sooner the better... Come tomorrow, great, thank you so much."

"Hey, Master Xu, are you free recently?... Hey, Happy New Year, let's go tomorrow. Master Lin will be here tomorrow night... Come with me, I'll show you something new, it's definitely a good thing."

"Hey, Master Wang, come over tomorrow... I guarantee there will be good stuff."

The next afternoon, Luo Yihang picked up Master Lin at the airport and returned to Ping'angou.

Xu and Wang came out to greet them. They had been here for half a day, having arrived in the morning.

They couldn't wait to hear something new and good from Luo Yihang's mouth.

Also coming out to greet them were Chu Jie, Xiao Zhao, Ma Zhitao and Luo Shaoan.

It’s the same group of people from yesterday, except that they have a little camel instead.

When everyone saw Master Lin, they were naturally very warm to him.

The three chefs reunited.

After a few simple polite words, he was led directly to the kitchen. Master Xu took out a tray from under the stove. It was covered with a red cloth, and there was something underneath the red cloth.

Mysterious.

Master Wang made a gesture of invitation, indicating that it should be uncovered, then stood opposite, occupying a favorable position, and looked at Master Lin's expression.

Master Lin was confused and reached out to uncover the red cloth.

I was stunned on the spot.

The boss, with eyes wide open and mouth wide open, exclaimed: "It's so big!"

Under the red cloth are naturally delicious Chinese mushrooms. One mushroom weighs almost two and a half kilograms, like a small ball.

They went to the greenhouse and picked out the biggest one.

It also created a sense of ceremony.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

Xu and Wang have already been frightened, so Master Lin cannot be left out either.

"That's right." Master Wang was very satisfied at this moment, and pursed his lips, "Xiao Ma, tell Xiao Lin about it."

Ma Zhitao sighed secretly, took a step forward, and gave a shot of prevention, "Master Lin, the name of this mushroom is a bit special, but it is called this name, the scientific name. Chinese delicious mushroom. It was first discovered in XJ in 2015. It is the largest species of the Agaricus family and Agaricus genus so far. What you are seeing now is the first artificially cultivated product of this species."

"China. Delicious. Mushroom?" Master Lin repeated word by word and smiled, "What does it have to taste like to deserve this name? Don't tell me it doesn't taste good."

"No." Master Wang waved his hand, "It really deserves the name. Come and try it."

Luo Shaoan immediately ran to the stove, scooped a bowl of soup from the casserole, and held it in front of Master Lin with both hands.

Master Lin thanked him, took the bowl and took a look at it first.

A bowl of milky white soup, fresh and fragrant.

Take a small spoon and scoop twice, then add a piece of meat, two pieces of radish, and a few slices of mushrooms.

"Mutton soup." Master Lin recognized it at the first sight.

"That's right, fat mutton soup." Master Xu emphasized the word "fat". "Try it now. It's completely different from what you've had before."

Master Lin followed his instructions and scooped up a spoonful of mutton soup. He took a sip, squinted his eyes and used his tongue to carefully taste it. "Master Wang's craftsmanship... only salt is used for seasoning... Mongolian mutton..."

A chef is a chef after all, and the tongue is a true spirit that can tell who has what cooking skills.

After these noodles came out, Master Lin frowned, "No, where does the sweetness come from? It's not the radish. And this fresh taste, this fresh taste..."

Master Lin was at a loss for words to describe it. "Complex and subtle," Master Xu added.

"Yes, yes, yes." Master Lin nodded immediately, "That's the feeling. The umami taste is very complex. I can feel at least six kinds of umami taste. It's not mutton, and it's not radish either."

Upon hearing this, Master Wang also gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Lin has a really good tongue. I couldn't taste that much."

Then he pointed at the bowl in his hand and said, "What are we here for today? Mushrooms."

"Then let me try the mushroom." Master Lin scooped up a piece of mushroom and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully.

The more you chew, the bigger and brighter your eyes become.

He chewed it over and over for a long time until it was broken into pieces and could not be broken any further before he swallowed it reluctantly.

As soon as he swallowed it, he immediately gestured, "Seven kinds, at least seven kinds of umami flavors, incredible."

"Pa pa pa pa~~" Everyone applauded, especially Ma Zhitao, who praised sincerely, "Master Lin, you are absolutely amazing. Chinese delicious mushrooms contain 17 different amino acids, among which lysine, valine and other seven have the highest content. The amino acids sensed by the taste buds are fresh."

"It is also known that it contains the most types of amino acid components among edible mushrooms, one more than the sixteen types of shiitake mushrooms. This is why it is called delicious."

Others include white-scale mushrooms, which also contain 17 kinds of amino acids, but unfortunately, they are poisonous.

And the texture is tough, it tastes like chewing a tire, and it's not digestible.

No edible value.

In addition, Master Lin can distinguish the types of amino acids that can only be detected by machines with his tongue. It’s amazing, really amazing.

Master Lin smiled modestly, "I've been a cook all my life, so I just have more experience."

He didn't want to brag, so he immediately added, "And this delicious mushroom has a very rich texture, which complements the umami flavor."

Master Xu added: "Doesn't it feel like fat? Not very chewy, but not falling apart."

"Yes, it has that feeling, but the taste is different. It's very strange." Master Lin nodded again.

It’s comfortable to communicate with the chefs, and everyone can understand what they say immediately.

Ma Zhitao came on stage again and answered: "It grows in the XJ desert soil. In order to adapt to the alkaline environment, during the long evolutionary adaptation, it increased the synthesis of polysaccharides, polyphenols, amino acids, lectins, and terpenes, reduced the synthesis of lignin monomers, and reduced the leather-like taste."

What a sensible mushroom.

After a long period of evolution, it has grown into the most delicious appearance.

So, what did Professor Wang Zhuoren go through when he discovered it?
It was named delicious only after rigorous testing without going through anything. These two words are its most important characteristics.

However, there are other properties of Chinese delicious mushrooms.

Xu and Wang have been studying it for a day and have tried many different methods, and they have actually figured out some solutions.

"Old Wang and I discovered that this mushroom has a very low water content. It grows in the desert, so it can't be fried, especially not stir-fried. After the water is lost, it will dry up."

This is why the rapeseed food Luo Yihang fried yesterday didn’t taste good.

"It is suitable for hot oil to lock in moisture, and it can be fried, deep-fried, or paired with large meat. It is best to use animal oil. It can also be roasted, but it must be roasted quickly at high temperature and with more oil. However, it is most suitable for making soup and broth. This thing is greedy for oil, just like eggplant."

So, Master Wang cooked a pot of mutton soup and had to use a fat sheep.

Absolutely beautiful.

"I see..." Master Lin held his chin and pondered carefully, then slowly came up with an idea, "Since it tastes like fat, can we make it taste like fat?"

"What do you mean? You mean vegetarian meat?" Master Wang felt that it was unnecessary.

Master Lin thought for a while, organized his words, and then explained: "I am old and my stomach is weak. I get greedy when I see big pieces of fat meat, but I dare not eat it for fear that I can't digest it."

"Use it to replace Shaobai?" Master Xu immediately realized and was looking forward to it. "It seems interesting."
