Chapter 949 Now a Diner
"It's a bit interesting." Even the carpenter was calmer. After all, he was considered someone who could eat Zhou Shijie's cooking and had stronger resistance.
But even so, even the carpenter fed the food into his mouth faster with chopsticks.
Because Lian Carpenter did not use the fish skin, it was just a chopstick of fish meat, so the pure umami flavor of the fish immediately coated the tongue as soon as it entered the mouth.
Fish is a very delicious ingredient, but because of its fishy smell, it will inevitably destroy its taste when handled.
But there was obviously no fish in his mouth. Even the carpenter felt that there was no taste in his mouth, only the deliciousness of the fish head, with some sweetness in the deliciousness.
After a slight sip, when the fish meat melts, a slight salty taste makes the fish meat tender and smooth.
"Fresh." Lian Carpenter couldn't help but say.
Yes, this fish does not have any other odors, it is just pure fish flavor, fresh and sweet, which makes the umami flavor more obvious.
The fish meat is salty, making the fish taste very tender.
"It's very good, you try it." Lian Carpenter took several bites and then remembered the apprentice next to him.
"Okay, Master." As soon as the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating quickly.
After all, the middle-aged man had already endured a lot of hard work just now, but this is how he performed the disciple ceremony. The master didn't say anything and couldn't move his chopsticks.
It's just that the middle-aged man picked up the fish belly, including the fish skin, and picked up a large piece of fish meat.
The pale pink fish skin is wrapped around the white and tender fish meat, and there is a trace of transparent gelatin sticking together in the middle of the jade-white fish meat. This is the fish oil on the fish belly.
"Ah woo" the middle-aged man swallowed it in one gulp and started eating directly.
The fish belly is the fattest part of all fish. The fish Yuan Zhou chose is a fish that has not laid eggs, so the meat on the belly of this fish will be the most delicious.
You must know that bears only eat fish bellies when there are many fish. If you don't eat other fish, you can imagine the deliciousness of fish bellies.
If eggs are laid, the nutrients will be absorbed by the eggs, and the fish belly will become dry and not plump.
"Hiss." The belly of the fish was a little hot, but the middle-aged man couldn't care less. He didn't even want to open his mouth for fear of losing the delicious taste.
The gelatinous fish skin melts like pudding in the mouth, seeping into the whole piece of fish meat. After chewing again, the fish meat also spreads, and the aroma of black bean that was just on the fish skin suddenly penetrates into the plump fish belly.
The fish belly is plump and at the same time balanced by the aroma of black bean and a hint of spiciness, which is not greasy at all.
"Well, it's delicious." The middle-aged man couldn't help but close his eyes and taste it.
At this time, Lian Carpenter had already begun to eat the fish tail.
"Oh, this fish seems to be jumping in your mouth, it's so delicious." Lian Carpenter couldn't bear to put down his chopsticks.
The tail of the fish is the longest moving part, and the meat there is called live meat. It has a delicious and lively texture that is different from other places.
A piece of steamed glutinous rice dumpling weighing more than a kilogram soon went into the stomachs of the two of them. Just when they were still unfinished and their appetites were whetted, Yuanzhou served the second dish, bear paw tofu.
This dish embodies another kind of flavor. Naturally, the carpenter and the middle-aged man ate it very happily. They even had a serious disagreement over the ownership of the last piece of tofu.
If Lian Carpenter hadn't suppressed the middle-aged man with his master's power in the end, maybe this piece of tofu wouldn't have ended up in Lian Carpenter's mouth.
As for the white rice served by Yuan Zhou, even the carpenter and the middle-aged man finished it early in the morning.
The last dish served was the light and refreshing goldenrod.
Now even the carpenter believed Zhou Shijie's words.
"Xiao Yuan can really tell what people eat." Lian Carpenter said with emotion.
Yes, at first Yuanzhou asked Lian Carpenter whether he had any taboos. Lian Carpenter remembered that Zhou Shijie had once boasted in front of him, but did not say that he and his apprentice did not eat spicy food. He wanted to see if Zhou Shijie was showing off.
Yes, Zhou Shijie once showed off to Lian Carpenter, saying that Yuan Zhou could tell whether a person eats spicy food or not without asking.
Also has a salty taste.
But from the first dish, Lian Carpenter believed Zhou Shijie's words.
After all, he just said that he had no dietary restrictions, but the dishes Yuan Zhou served later were all not spicy, which proved that Yuan Zhou really knew his taste.
"What does it taste like?" The middle-aged man looked puzzled.
"Eat well." Lian Carpenter said angrily, not bothering to explain.
"Oh." The middle-aged man stopped asking.
"But the dishes are all finished." Then the middle-aged man said again.
"Go back after eating." Lian Carpenter said.
"I'll see the master off." The middle-aged man stood up and gave up his seat but did not leave immediately.
"Xiao Yuan, let's go back first." Lian Carpenter said to Yuan Zhou in the kitchen.
"Okay, you two go slowly." Yuan Zhou nodded, and a clear voice came from the mask.
Carpenter Lian nodded and left with the middle-aged man.
As soon as Lian Carpenter left, another person came into the shop, but this person came not for a meal but for an interview.
"Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan, how do you feel now that you have received the honor of Sichuan Cuisine Demonstration Store in Sichuan Province today?" The man came in and took out the recording pen in his hand and asked loudly.
This man was wearing black long sleeves, light-colored jeans, and short hair. He looked very smart and of medium height. After asking, he stared at Yuan Zhou closely, waiting for his answer.
"Where is the reporter from?" As soon as this man asked, the surrounding diners looked at the new reporter in surprise.
In the past, when Yuan Zhou first became famous, many people came to interview him. Now, because of the people in the queuing committee and the standardized queuing process, there are basically no reporters coming in.
After all, the consequences of competing with diners for food can be serious.
"Sorry, we won't accept interviews during the opening hours of the store." Yuan Zhou pointed to the newly added rules on the wall and said seriously.
At the same time, Yuanzhou put down the dinner plate in his hand leisurely.
"I'm sorry, if you need an interview, please make an appointment at another time. It's the boss's working hours now and he won't accept interviews." Zhou Jiaji stepped forward with experience and started to chase people away.
"Sorry, I came in through the regular queue." The reporter proudly took out his queue number.
"Okay, please sit down here. What can you eat today?" Zhou Jia led the person to sit down without changing his expression, and then asked gently.
"I will definitely eat the food, but Boss Yuan, you haven't answered my question yet. Do you have anything to say about receiving the Demonstration Store Award this time? Or do you think you deserve it? With such a small store area, Can you bear this honor?" The reporter shouted with obvious malice.
"Sorry, the owner of our store does not accept interviews during working hours. This is our store policy." Zhou Jia's face turned cold and she said seriously.
"But I'm a diner now." The reporter said ruthlessly.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Zhou Jia asked businesslikely.
"I want to make a bowl of rice cakes and pan-fried rice cakes. I think Boss Yuan can make it with the skills from the demonstration store. After all, this dish says that you can order any food whose main ingredient is rice." The reporter pointed at the off-white color and used the word Learn how to stimulate generals.
This reporter looked like he was looking for trouble, but Zhou Jia didn't fall for his provocation and instead followed the rules and turned around to ask Yuan Zhou...
