Chapter 189 Boiled Shrimp and Pork with Lipu Taro

The fish and shrimp in the Lijiang River are more delicious because of the water quality and the growth environment.

Like fish, the season for harvesting shrimp is not at this time, but the harvesting season is not counted.

Although these shrimps are farmed rather than wild, they grow in the Li River, and their meat quality is better than others, but they are still not as good as wild shrimps.

There are many ways to cook shrimp, such as braised prawns in oil in Shandong cuisine.But the simplest cooking method that can best reflect the flavor of shrimp itself is boiled. This cooking method does not need to add extra seasoning, just a pot of boiling water, and a dipping dish with soy sauce and vinegar.

Cooking boiled shrimp is simple, but it is also a test of the chef's skill. Why do others cook better in the same way?The secret lies in the control of the fire!

Shrimp matures quickly in boiling water. How to grasp the deliciousness and maturity is the most test of a chef's skill.If the time is not enough, the shrimp meat is not cooked, if the time is too long, the shrimp meat is not delicious enough.

Jiang Yang saw boiled prawns at a stall, and his heart moved, so he lined up to buy a portion.

The chef is a very young man with a full beard that has been shaved clean enough, and only faint traces of cyan can be seen.

On the side is a young girl who is not in charge of cooking, but is only responsible for collecting money and giving change.As for the dishes, they are divided into disposable plates, and a groove is specially reserved on the plates for holding dipping sauces.

Such a plate is rare in the market, and I am afraid it is specially customized.

Jiang Yang made a comparison, and this one is also one of the few with the largest number of people.

The young chef is fast and skilled.Don't think about it, this must be a state that can only be achieved by working as a chef for a long time.In terms of speed, Jiang Yang is not as good as others.With calm and focused eyes, he cooked portions of boiled shrimp.

Jiang Yang hadn't cooked Lijiang shrimp before, so he felt that it seemed a few seconds earlier.

While thinking about it, he took his place.

"How many copies?" The girl who collected the money asked in a pretty voice, showing a trace of fatigue in her voice.

"One serving, how much?" Jiang Yang said.

The girl quoted the price, glanced at Jiang Yang's WeChat payment, and quickly said, "You can take one yourself." After speaking, she went to talk to another customer.

Jiang Yang took a copy himself, pushed through the crowd, and came to the open space beside him.

Zhong Yuli came out before Jiang Yang, and the two had a tacit understanding, buying a delicious meal and sharing it together.

Zhong Yuli still bought taro dishes, this time it was Lipu taro braised pork.

He had already eaten two mouthfuls, and when he saw Jiang Yang coming, he said, "Try this, it's not bad."

Jiang Yang didn't take it, but tasted the boiled shrimp in his hand first.

I didn't have time to take a closer look just now, but now I realize that the chef is very careful and the shrimps are handled very cleanly.The shrimp line was picked out in advance without damaging the integrity of the shrimp itself.This is a test of hands-on skills. Picking the shrimp line will damage the shrimp meat more or less. How to minimize the damage is a very difficult task.

Before he could hand in the entrance, Jiang Yang felt a burst of admiration in his heart.

Peel off the shell of the shrimp, pinch the head of the shrimp, lightly dip the shrimp meat in the dipping dish, and put it in your mouth.

After the entrance, the taste of soy sauce and vinegar is first, not strong, and the dosage is also very good, not too sour or salty.

Then, there is the taste of the shrimp itself. The firm and firm shrimp meat is slowly broken under the grinding of the teeth.The delicious taste hidden in the shrimp explodes in an instant, and merges with the taste of the dipping sauce that has not faded.

Jiang Yang closed his eyes unconsciously. This boiled shrimp dish was much better than the two Lipu taro dishes he ate before.

"How is it?" Zhong Yuli couldn't help asking when he saw Jiang Yang enjoying himself.

"It's delicious. I won't describe it to you. You won't know until you eat it," Jiang Yang said.

Zhong Yuli nodded, he knew this truth well.After taking the boiled shrimp in Jiang Yang's hand, he handed Jiang Yang the Lipu taro button meat he bought.

Braised pork, there are many types of dishes, such as the well-known braised pork with preserved vegetables is one of them.Lipu taro buckwheat is to replace preserved vegetables with Lipu taro, but if a dish can become a specialty, there are naturally differences.

Jiang Yang looked at the dishes in front of him, picked them up with disposable chopsticks without much thought.The taro is soft and rotten, and the mouth is soft and sweet, which blends with the taste of the meat itself and complements each other.

The meat absorbs the taste of taro, and after being baptized by steam, it becomes soggy but not rotten.The fat meat melts in the mouth, the skin cake is soft with a bit of toughness, and the lean meat melts in the mouth, mixed with the taste of Lipu taro, which is really wonderful.

This Lipu taro braised pork dish is equally delicious as the boiled shrimp he ate. If he had to compete, Jiang Yang would be more inclined to this Lipu taro braised pork dish.

Zhong Yuli also tasted the boiled shrimp, and praised: "It's delicious, and it really requires us to search patiently."

Immediately, some regrets said: "It's a pity that they are not authentic Lijiang shrimp."

"Oh?" Jiang Yang looked at Zhong Yuli in surprise when he heard the words.

"I was lucky enough to eat it once before, and the taste is quite different from this shrimp. But... the quality of this shrimp is not bad." Zhong Yuli explained.

Hearing the words, Jiang Yang nodded suddenly and said, "That's it."

He has never eaten authentic Lijiang prawns, so naturally he doesn't know what Lijiang prawns are like.But as far as he has eaten, this shrimp meat is considered the best among the freshwater shrimps he has eaten.

Although it was a pity for Zhong Yuli, he only sighed, and he still recognized the boiled shrimp.

The two of them finished the two small portions of delicacies, and then went to look for other delicacies.

……

Senior Brother Wan was patrolling the scene, looking at the hot scene, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.But at this time, it is the most difficult time to relax. When there are too many people, troubles are easy to happen.

This is also the reason why he stayed at the scene to inspect. In case something happened, he could solve it as soon as possible.

Fortunately, so far, he hasn't found any troublesome things.

As for why he held the anniversary celebration outside instead of at Genley Hotel, he actually had his own considerations.

It's very simple, I'm afraid of losing Genli Hotel's face if I fail.He was also afraid that if he made a mistake and smashed the signboard of Genli Hotel, then he would be blamed for death.

There is an advantage in holding it outside. In case of a mess, it can be said that this event is just borrowing the signboard of Genli Hotel. Genli Hotel has no knowledge and has nothing to do with Genli Hotel.In this way, Genli Restaurant can be completely avoided, and there is no need to worry about smashing the signboard.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an excuse, but as long as there are more activities to attract public opinion, people who don't understand the situation will naturally not point the finger at Genli Hotel.

After I have accumulated enough experience, I will go to Genli Hotel to hold it. At that time, driven by the fame of the previous few times, the scene must be even more popular.

This is Senior Brother Wan's plan, and it is also the reason why he held an anniversary celebration outside.

Senior Brother Wan looked at Horn's booth, there were many people and there were many repeat customers.Involuntarily, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.My junior brother... the future is limitless!

Without continuing to pay attention to Horn, Senior Brother Wan started to inspect again.
