Chapter 644 Swordfish Steamed Rice

Yuanzhou had just inserted the sharp knife into the fish, and Fujiwara frowned in surprise and said these words affirmatively.

Fujiwara's voice was quite loud, and it immediately attracted many people to watch.

Originally, Fujiwara was quite eye-catching when he ate here in Yuanzhou, but now he is attracting even more attention.

"This kid always makes a big deal." Zhou Shijie scolded with a smile.

"It seems that President Zhou is very confident that he can succeed?" President Aso knew about knife skills and asked doubtfully.

"You'll know after you see it." Zhou Shijie didn't say much.

"Tsk, tsk, if this chef Yuan succeeds, he will be the only one to get it. The fish is so small, how can the whole fish bone be extracted." The fat chef behind stretched his head and looked forward.

"It should be no problem." Li Li was a little unsure.

"I think it's just for show, so don't smash it." There are other chefs who are not optimistic about Yuan Zhou.

"No, the swordfish's spines are long and soft, and there are a lot of them. Anyway, I can't think of how to remove the fish bones without damaging the shape of the fish." The chef not far from Yuan Zhou frowned with a look on his face. Puzzled.

"It seems that you have made progress again." Chu Xiao, who was standing next to him, looked sideways and said with certainty.

No wonder other chefs have no confidence in Yuan Zhou. It is precisely because they are the best in cooking that they know how difficult it is to extract a complete fish bone from a fish weighing more than three ounces.

It is precisely because of this understanding that I feel it is impossible to succeed.

Only Chu Xiao and Zhou Shijie in the audience had absolute confidence that Yuan Zhou would succeed. Of course, the reasons for their confidence were different.

Zhou Shijie has absolute confidence in Yuan Zhou himself, and the latter has confidence in himself. Chu Xiao feels that Yuan Zhou and him are the same kind of people. He summed it up: "You don't say it with your mouth, but you want to save face in your heart. You can cut off your head or bleed." "Flow, your leather shoes must be polished", so since you can do it under the spotlight, it means you are 100% sure.

The noise at the scene gradually became quieter. While waiting for Yuan Zhou to pull out the fish bones, the chefs kept silent and stopped cooking their own dishes. They watched first before talking. The atmosphere was quiet and dignified.

The reporters on the side were also waiting for the results with excited faces.

Yuanzhou turned a deaf ear.

He held the sharp knife steadily in his hand, and his wrist was slightly tilted to one side. The sharp knife was like a butterfly passing through a flower, or like a carp paddling through the water. It seemed that a faint stabbing sound could be heard, and the tip of the knife slipped from the front of the fish. The back of the fish. The rebirth of the legitimate daughter: it’s hard to get through the peach blossoms, so beware, son.

Smooth, neat and fast.

"This is simply impossible." Dashi Xiujie said it was impossible, but his eyes did not relax for a moment, staring closely at Yuan Zhou's hand.

It's not impossible, it's absolutely impossible. Fujiwara was filled with such thoughts in his heart, but because of his face, he didn't yell like Oishi Hideyoshi. After all, he was also a first-level figure in Iemoto.

Yuan Zhou is going to make this impossible thing possible in front of everyone.

The suspicious eyes seemed to be motivation, making Yuan Zhou more steady.

"Bo"

There was a crisp sound, the sound was very thin, but I don’t know why, but it was very clear. Yuanzhou gently pressed the fish's body with the back of his knife.

He held the fish head between his two fingers, like a golden dragon scissors, and with a slight pull, a complete fish bone appeared in front of everyone with the fish head attached.

The movements are smooth and flowing, without any hesitation.

No, to be precise, it can’t be described in terms of flowing clouds and flowing water. Although Yuan Zhou sees it with ease, in the eyes of the onlookers and reporters, all the movements have a strong rhythm.

"He actually pulled it out, how did he do it!" Fujiwara's eyes widened, and he looked at the complete body of the saury, and then at the chopping board, where the bones were also intact on the side.

Fujiwara tried his best to suppress his surprised expression. It must be said that Yuan Zhou's move blinded Iemoto.

"The swordfish can be deboned, so the eel doesn't need to be cut open and deboned. Why should I study for so long?" Oishi Xiujie's face was a little dazed.

You know, it takes eight years to learn how to dissect eels, and Hidetoshi Oishi learned this way.

This guy was a little suspicious of life. His eyes were staring straight ahead, as if his eyes were glued to the chopping board.

The fish bones on the chopping board, even each rib, were clearly defined and clean, with no fish left on them.

It was this cleanness and completeness that shocked and even disbelieved everyone present, whether they knew it or not.

However, before everyone was shocked, Yuan Zhou continued to pick up another fish and started to remove the fish bones. secret service

His attitude was relaxed and freehand, as if he had done a trivial thing.

It wasn't until the bones of both fish were completely removed that Yuan Zhou began to wash the rice and prepare another main ingredient for this dish.

What is served here is Wuchang rice. Of course, it is not from the two acres of land in the middle, but the rice next to it, which can also be called Wuchang rice.

That's it. The taste of this rice is already very good. The rice grains are white and crystal clear, plump and shiny, and it looks lovely.

"Reach the rice twice." Yuan Zhou washed the rice while carefully checking whether there were any impurities in the rice grains.

Yuan Zhou kept the rice water for the second time and did not throw it away.

"What are you doing? Are you going to cook?" Oishi Xiujie turned to look at Fujiwara with a puzzled look.

"It should be saury steamed rice. It is said that fishermen in the past hunted saury and used it to steam rice." Fujiwara is indeed a professor of Chinese food culture, and he knows a lot about these things.

"Then have you eaten it?" Dashi Xiujie asked carefully.

"No, because there is no way to clean the fish bones." Fujiwara said succinctly.

"I didn't expect that he still has some abilities." Dashi Xiujie was very angry. After all, the fish bones he just pulled out were enough to make him jealous.

Of course, Oishi Xiujie was still unconvinced. After all, even if Yuan Zhou had just shown his skill at peeling off fish bones, the taste of the dish still depends on it.

"Cooking is not just about knife skills." Fujiwara thought to himself. He is not as naive as Hidetoshi Oishi. Since he has such perfect knife skills, he must be good at cooking.

This kind of logical relationship can be taken into account if you think about it. Dashi Xiujie was just angry at being criticized by Yuan Zhou before, and he wanted to fight back today. He didn't expect that the other party had such flawless sword skills, so he was knocked unconscious. mind.

But Fujiwara didn't believe it. Yuan Zhou was also perfect in terms of taste. If Yuan Zhou made a dish that only tested his knife skills, he might not be able to do it this time. But steaming rice mainly involves heat and water, and his knife skills are really just incidental. of.

"You are the young talented chef from China. I blame you for being too conceited and not taking advantage of the existing advantages." Fujiwara looked at Yuan Zhou showing off his cooking skills with a sinister look.
