Chapter 881 Boiled Fish Flavor 6

At this time, Xiao Zhao became the core of the scene for a short time. Technician Cheng stared at it, Cao Zhishu looked at it, and even Mengmeng looked over curiously. You must know that she had been watching Technician Cheng all the time and wanted to learn from him. Yuanzhou didn't let go.

If the chef surnamed Cao is not lying, what ability does this young man named Xiao Zhao have that can impress Boss Yuan?

It's true that everyone wants to be the center of attention, and Xiao Zhao also wants to do so, but this time is obviously too inappropriate. Looking at Cao Zhishu's encouraging eyes, Xiao Zhao feels like he wants to die.

To be honest, Xiao Zhao no longer dared to tell the truth, so he could only say without tears: "In the past, Chef Yuan and I were both in a three-star hotel. I was the second chef at that time, so I learned a lot. thing."

But as a handyman, Yuan Zhou washes dishes very quickly, so Xiao Zhao thought through self-hypnosis that if he learned to wash dishes quickly, he should have learned a lot...

Technician Cheng made a cut and muttered: "What a good luck."

Cao Zhishu wanted to be polite, so he restrained his expression extremely, but his embarrassment still overflowed. He patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder, and then ostensibly said to himself, but in fact he said it to Technician Cheng.

He said: "Xiao Zhao has a pretty good foundation in cooking. After all, he was taught by Chef Yuan when he was young."

Mengmeng had already imagined a drama in her little head. Xiao Zhao had been studying with Boss Yuan. Then after Boss Yuan left, Xiao Zhao felt that there was nothing more to learn and left the store. By some strange combination of circumstances, I worshiped my current master.

A forced smile appeared on Xiao Zhao's face. He expressed that he was feeling bitter but would not say anything.

After thinking he had the upper hand, Cao Zhishu no longer held on to Technician Cheng and concentrated on watching Yuan Zhou cooking.

But Yuan Zhou was very fast. When he looked, Yuan Zhou had already put away the pot, put it on the plate, and was serving rice.

"Chef Yuan's speed is so fast. It only took five or six minutes." Cao Zhishu looked at the time and sighed.

"That's right." Technician Cheng said with pride.

"I'm not complimenting you." Cao Zhishu said angrily.

"Because Boss Yuan cooks a lot of dishes every day. Each dish is cooked very quickly, but it is super delicious." Mengmeng whispered this to the side.

"The fish is boiled so fast, I thought it was stir-fried vegetables." Xiao Zhao took a look and complained.

Technician Cheng didn't reply, just ignored him and looked at Yuan Zhou politely, ready to help.

But Yuanzhou did not ask for help, but came over with the tray himself.

"Please use your boiled fish and white rice slowly." Yuan Zhou said as he brought out the dishes and rice.

"Thank you, Chef Yuan." Cao Zhishu said.

"You're welcome." After Yuan Zhou finished speaking, he stood still and looked at Cao Zhishu eating openly.

Yes, Yuan Zhou always looks at people like this. Since it is a communication, he will also carefully watch the diners' reactions.

"Chef Yuan's dishes are very beautiful in color, flavor, and image." Cao Zhishu said.

Yes, the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou are not bad in appearance.

For example, for the boiled fish in front of him, Yuan Zhou used a fish-shaped basin. The lower part was pointed and narrow like a fish belly, and the bottom was shaped like a handful of water.

On the top is the opened fish back, revealing the white and tender fish meat inside. The pieces are crystal clear and glow with a bright red oil. It is occasionally embellished with some green onions and finely minced garlic. Naturally, there are also slices of fish meat. Dried chili peppers in sections.

Even now, the surface is still churning with bubbles, which is caused by the hot oil that was just poured on it. The hot oil suddenly stimulated a strong fragrance, and the hooked people's mouths subconsciously drooled.

"Chef Yuan is very thoughtful. The placement is really particular." Cao Zhishu's cooking skills are also very advanced. He didn't eat directly after smelling such a fragrance. He leaned back and said.

It is true that Yuan Zhou was very particular about the placement of the rice. The rice bowl was round, with crystal grains of rice piled inside it. Looking from a distance, it looked like a fish playing with a pearl.

Xiao Zhao looked at it and said,

I have to admit, this presentation is indeed very nice.

"I'm going to eat." Cao Zhishu said cautiously.

"Please." Yuan Zhou stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation without saying much.

"Ding." Cao Zhishu gently picked up the chopsticks and pinched the tofu inside.

Yes, Yuanzhou’s boiled fish is filled with tofu, while Cao Zhishu’s is filled with crispy and tender bean sprouts.

Tasting boiled fish naturally starts with the side dishes.

Some tofu can be made more tender and smooth after stewing, but at the same time it is very difficult to pick up, which tests the skill of using chopsticks.

Cao Zhishu took the chopsticks and carefully picked up the tofu, but as soon as the chopsticks touched it, he found that the surface of the tofu was not that tender, and had a slightly tough feeling, so he picked it up easily.

"Is it a piece?" Cao Zhishu was a little surprised, but he didn't say much and was ready to taste it first.

Logically speaking, the tofu for boiled fish is generally in the shape of lumps, which will become tender and smooth after cooking. However, the flaky tofu is easy to break during the cooking process and is very difficult to pinch.

"Hiss, it's hot." Cao Zhishu couldn't help but said that the tofu was hot to his mouth even after it had cooled for a while.

But after saying this, Cao Zhishu immediately closed his mouth and began to taste it.

As soon as the tofu is in your mouth, your tongue is so hot that you can't help flinching, but then the spicy aroma sweeps over like a violent storm, and the aroma enters the throat, making people unable to help chewing.

As soon as the teeth hit the tofu, it immediately broke into pieces. When it broke, a delicious taste of fish rushed directly to the throat.

"Huh?" Cao Zhishu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he tasted this taste. He couldn't hold back the surprised expression on his face. He quickly swallowed the tofu and immediately picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

It was rare to see Cao Zhishu, who was very particular about etiquette, looking so anxious. Not to mention Xiao Zhao was surprised, even Technician Cheng moved his eyes from the dishes to his face.

As soon as the fish enters the mouth, what is wrapped around it is not the tender and smooth pink texture, but the pungent garlic flavor and spicy chili flavor. Because it is hot just out of the pan, Cao Zhishu can only wrap it in his mouth for the time being, but it is smooth. The fish meat seems to be alive, constantly stimulating the taste buds, making people want to take a bite.

I couldn't help it anymore. After one bite of the fish, the delicious taste exploded directly in my mouth. The fish seemed to move on its own, sliding directly through my throat and into my stomach.

Cao Zhishu felt that the fish meat had been swallowed by him before he had chewed enough, so he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth.

"It seems to be alive." Cao Zhishu swallowed the fish again like last time. The expression on his face was very complicated, and his hands remained on the table for a long time without moving.

Yuan Zhou himself concluded that the sixth taste of boiled fish is that good boiled fish makes people unable to eat enough and always want to eat another piece.

"It turns out that boiled fish actually has a sixth flavor. It really does have a sixth flavor." Cao Zhishu murmured to himself.

"Master." Xiao Zhao had a bad feeling when he saw his master like this, so he couldn't help shouting.

"Xiao Zhao, we lost the fish." Cao Zhishu looked at Yuanzhou with complicated eyes. The exchange of friendship means that he understands that generally speaking, there is no win or lose, but this time Yuanzhou's boiled fish directly made him feel the win or loss. .

"Master, what are you talking about? Boiled fish is the signature of our store. It has a history of more than a hundred years. How can we lose?" Xiao Zhao felt that he had not heard clearly at first, and after a pause he immediately said with dissatisfaction. .

"The sixth flavor that comes from combining the five flavors of boiled fish, not to mention other things, is already ahead of us on the whole." Cao Zhishu sighed and said, "It is rare for outsiders to praise Chef Yuan in fifty years. I met a culinary genius once, but today I see that he is already a master.”

Seeing that his master was not looking at him, but only staring at Yuan Zhou, Xiao Zhao immediately exploded when he thought of all the past events. He pointed at Yuan Zhou and spoke eloquently: "No way, absolutely impossible, how could our signature be lost to him?" A handyman!" Browse reading address:
