Chapter 492 Path 1: Hanyi Diligently Weaves Brocade

"Okay, there's no need for small talk. I didn't even eat lunch for this meal." Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

"What's the appetizer?" Chu Xiao's words were also very direct.

"Since you are the host, we followed here, so we can see it." Li Minghui said politely.

Liu Tong, on the other hand, looked like he was just looking at the fallen flowers, not caring at all. He just waited for a while to talk to his master about the faults of these dishes. It was easy for him to pick out any faults.

"Okay, let's start with the cold dishes, Hanyi Qinqin brocade." Yuanzhou nodded, without saying much, and directly reported the names of the dishes.

"Our Chinese cuisine is always like this. We name the dish with no meaning, and have no idea what the actual content is." Chu Xiao complained directly.

"Most of them are not like this. It may be that this master is more artistic." Liu Tong's words touched people's hearts.

"Yeah." Li Minghui nodded seemingly reservedly, obviously agreeing with this idea.

This time, if Chu Xiao was not sarcastic, it became sarcastic, but Chu Xiao was still thinking about what kind of cold dish Yuan Zhou would serve.

"A name is worthy of your discussion." Zhou Shijie interrupted directly.

"Everyone will understand after you eat it." Yuan Zhou did not explain, but finished speaking calmly, then turned and went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

On the other hand, the diners on the side made some comments.

"Isn't this the chef who came here often? And those few people seem to have come here specially to eat Boss Yuan's food." While waiting for the meal, the diners whispered.

"Indeed, the man in the black suit looks familiar to me." Another diner was more concerned about Li Minghui.

"I think that old man is the one taking the lead." Another diner said seriously.

"I'm not talking about taking the lead. By the way, I remembered who it was." The diner was reminded of this and suddenly thought of Li Minghui.

"Who is it?" the diner asked curiously.

"Isn't this guy often in some newspapers? It's that one, that five-star hotel chef. Some kind of crew came last time. Didn't the whole team go there to eat, and then praised him for something? It was him." The diner said The last sentence was quieter.

“Then it looks like these people all have backgrounds.

" Another diner nodded seriously.

"Boss Yuan is not afraid of them anyway. Boss Yuan's skills must be better than theirs, so they will come to spy on our situation." Tang Qian, a little girl, stood behind the two of them and interrupted at some point.

"Yes, that's true." The two diners were startled and agreed with her words.

"Okay." Now Tang Qian was satisfied and went back to her seat to prepare the food and wait for the delicious food.

Yuanzhou didn't know about these comments, he was concentrating on handling the fish.

Han Yi Qin Brocade is actually just cold fish skin, but the key to this simple dish lies in the processing of the fish skin.

Yuanzhou picked up the net bag and "swish" it down, and directly picked up a large grass carp, which weighed about three kilograms. After drying the water for a while, Yuan Zhou started to handle it directly.

At a banquet, cold dishes are always served first. Firstly, it prevents guests from being bored while waiting for the meal. Secondly, it allows hungry guests to fill their stomachs first. Therefore, this cold dish must be served. One function is to appetize.

Only by opening up the diners' appetite can they better appreciate the next dish.

"The cold dishes for everyone, Hanyi Qinjin Brocade has arrived, please use it slowly." Yuan Zhou personally served the plates.

The plate that Yuan Zhou brought was a square shape and very flat. Normally, the cold dishes contained soup and could not be served on such a flat plate, but Yuan Zhou used it.

The square plate has a snow-white base, and only a few unknown green leaves are outlined on the diagonal corners. The vegetables on the plate are piled up like a hill, with bright and distinct colors.

The gelatin of the fish skin is transparent and black and white, and even other colorful vegetables cannot steal its spotlight.

"Is this cold fish skin?" Zhou Shijie asked directly.

"Yes, please use it slowly." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"A cold fish skin has such a name." Liu Tong laughed a little in his heart, but did not say it out loud.

Li Minghui frowned tightly, fearing that the soup would flow all over the table.

"President Zhou, please." Chu Xiao picked up the chopsticks and said to Zhou Shijie first.

Because Yuanzhou only served one plate and there was no sharing system.

"Then you're welcome, old man." Zhou Shijie did his duty, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Please." Yuan Zhou nodded.

Chu Xiao followed closely behind and also picked up a piece of fish skin and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Is it fish skin? I'm looking forward to it." Chu Xiao looked at the beautiful crystal-like fish skin on the chopsticks and then fed it into his mouth.

"Huh?" Chu Xiao and Zhou Shijie looked at each other and did not greet Li Minghui and Liu Tong. They picked up chopsticks to eat again.

The two of them didn't care. Liu Tong asked something else, "Since I'm the master and you're the host, is there any tea? I prefer tea."

"Sorry, no." Yuanzhou said no without thinking.

Just kidding, the Mingqian tea provided by the system is only eight taels a year. I drank one tael yesterday. How can I give it to others now?

"Tsk, tsk." Liu Tong didn't say anything, just tutted twice with unknown meaning. Yuanzhou didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just didn't care about his tea.

"Try it." Li Minghui said to stop Liu Tong from looking for trouble.

"Okay." Liu Tong agreed simply.

Now the two of them stretched out their chopsticks and started to chop. They didn't have any expectations. Even though there were a lot of people queuing up here, they had seen this kind of situation a lot, and they didn't think Yuan Zhou could withstand their professional considerations.

Chu Xiao on the other side had no time to pay attention to anyone, and only focused on savoring the taste in his mouth.

Logically speaking, fish skin is difficult to taste and will make the juice thicker, so that if you eat it with the juice, it will have a flavor, but Yuanzhou's is not like that at all.

I don’t know how Yuan Zhou processed it. In the texture of the fish skin, which is full of gelatin and elasticity, Chu Xiao clearly tasted a light salty, sour and strange aroma, as well as a hint of spicy taste as a stimulus. The sub expands the flavor of the fish skin.

"Crack." Chu Xiao chewed the fish skin. His mouth seemed to be soft, waxy, and a little chewy. When chewing, it was crispy, and the fish skin was slightly sour and spicy. The smell made Chu Xiao feel energetic all of a sudden.

"Interesting." Chu Xiao picked up a pair of chopsticks again and couldn't help but say.

"It's really interesting. The taste is really appetizing." Zhou Shijie said directly, without stopping his chopsticks.

"It tastes different." Chu Xiao glanced at Yuan Zhou and said.

Yes, after the second sip of Chu Xiao, the taste obviously changed.

The fish skin in your mouth actually bursts with juice when you chew it, just like eating a jelly. It is obviously gelatin but has abundant juice. Moreover, the taste of this juice is fresh and natural, with a slight sweetness, which makes your mouth feel delicious. The crispness of the cucumber and the texture of the vermicelli are well blended together.

Such a delicious taste is like eating a fish in your mouth, it is simply delicious.

"Isn't this fish skin?" Chu Xiao frowned and kept thinking.

"It is indeed brocade. The texture of this fish skin is just like brocade, smooth and beautiful." Zhou Shijie said in admiration without any burden, but his hand couldn't help but pick up a chopstick again.
