Chapter 734
The first thing the old man talked about was his recent experiences . The old man lived on carrying passengers with his rickshaw . Strictly speaking, such a vehicle like the rickshaw was forbidden to be used for carrying people in Chengdu .
Although his vehicle wouldn't be confiscated, he would still be fined 200RMB if he was caught by the traffic police . That almost equal to his two days of revenue . Consequently, the old man usually hung around side streets on his rickshaw .
About half a month ago, the old man entered the side streets and came across a strange matter .
"A question for you . Do you think that liver could be eaten if it's not cooked?" The old man asked a question as he spoke halfway .
No matter where it came from, liver always had an offensive smell . Rumors on the Internet said that foreigners didn't eat livers . It was actually not totally accurate to say so . It was actually the Americans who didn't eat that .
The legendary British cuisine "Haggis" was cooked with the lamb's liver and stomach . The Germans liked eating blood sausage very much . There was also a traditional cuisine called Andouilles de Guemene in France, which was cooked with large intestines, small intestines, and some breadcrumbs .
Apart from the reason of excessive production of meat, another important reason why the Americans didn't eat livers was that they knew little about cooking . In their opinion, cuisines with internal organs were nothing but boiling them in clear water . People simply found it difficult to swallow that . It was believed that no Americans would like to eat such types of food if there were better ones .
It tasted bad even after boiling, not to mention if one ate it raw . Therefore, everybody on site shook their head one after another . How could one possibly eat it raw?
As it was related to good food, Yuan Zhou listened to them carefully without letting his feelings show . As far as his knowledge on cuisines went, the internal organs all needed to be cooked thoroughly through means of deep frying, steaming or boiling, especially the lungs . Apart from boiling, the rest required more complicated processing, just like a very famous cuisine called Horse Belly Plate in ancient times . The main ingredients were the large intestines and the belly of the horse . Furthermore, people had to stuff the horse oil into the intestines to wash them .
Most importantly, Yuan Zhou asked the system and even the system said there wasn't that kind of dish . In Yuan Zhou's opinion, there were two fields that could best display the wisdom of the ancient people . One was their buildings while the other was the good food . With regards to these two fields, ancient people had truly racked their brains and created many techniques that couldn't be uncovered by the current people .
Yuan Zhou was listening to him with great attention in hope of knowing what exactly the old man wanted to say . As for Wu Hai, he was also listening to him carefully . He showed interest in everything related to food .
"I came across an old brother in the side street, even older than me . He was dressed in the Chinese tunic suit and was sitting at the entrance of the vegetable market . The lamb dealers in the market would give all the lamb livers to this old brother for free . Even if other people wanted to buy them, they would say there weren't any and would then give the livers to this old brother . " The old man was good at telling stories and thus, he attracted people's attention very easily .
Chengdu was situated in the southwest of China and it wasn't the northwest part where people liked eating mutton . So, there wasn't anyone who sold mutton in the normal small vegetable markets .
It wasn't an easy thing to buy lamb liver in Chengdu . The reason wasn't that it cost a lot, but there weren't many livers around the area . Simply speaking, the lamb livers were worth some money, yet the lamb dealers would rather send them to the old man than sell it to others . That was really interesting .
Then, the old man explained the reason to him . He continued, "I asked the lamb dealers curiously why they did so . One of them told me that the old man could cook very delicious lamb livers . Since it wasn't worth a lot of money, he would rather let it become a good dish . "
What an interesting lamb dealer . Of course, what attracted Yuan Zhou's attention more was the delicious lamb livers .
There were many cooking methods of lamb livers . The most common one was Haggis Soup . And other traditional cooking methods included quick frying and cold-dish along with Chinese chives, cumin, and radish . The only unusual one that Yuan Zhou could think of was the Lamb Liver Infant Rice Paste .
How delicious could the lamb liver dishes be for the lamb dealers to send the lamb livers to him for free gladly?
