Chapter 97 Full marks for braised fish
Zhang Xu took out fish and shrimp.

Zhang Xu knew that his cooking skills were unmatched by others, and if he used meat from spirit beasts from another world, the effect would definitely be better.

If this can't win the title of God of Cooking, it's too shameful.

Zhang Xu looked at the ingredients in front of him and prepared to make a simple braised fish, fish and shrimp meat tofu soup.

Zhang Xu slapped his head, why did he forget to buy tofu?

It suddenly occurred to me that the organizing committee of the competition would definitely prepare some ingredients.

Of course, they are all ordinary ingredients.

Therefore, in order to be the best, other participating chefs will prepare the ingredients themselves and will not use these ingredients.

However, for Zhang Xu, it doesn't matter.

Zhang Xu pulled a service worker over, "Is there any tofu? Find me a piece."

The man's eyes widened and he was stunned for a moment, because the other chefs would not use the ingredients prepared by their organizing committee, and they only prepared the ingredients with the attitude of completing the task. Then, the man nodded, "Yes, I will give it to you." You take it."

Saying that, the man ran away.

After less than 2 minutes, the service staff came back, holding a large plate with several pieces of tofu placed on it.

Zhang Xu chose a relatively tender one.

Next, is to process the ingredients.

The soup takes a long time and must be made first, so Zhang Xu first processed the ingredients needed for the soup.

Cut off a piece of the fish, and then cut it into thumb-sized pieces. Then, Zhang Xu began to display his perfect carving skills, carving the fish into small fish.

Every little fish looks lifelike and complete.

Twenty small fish were carved, but it took Zhang Xu 5 minutes.

Then there is the shrimp meat. The shrimp meat is also cut into the size of a thumb, and then carved into the shape of a small shrimp.

Even the shrimp claws and legs are carved out.

Twenty of them were also engraved, which took 5 minutes.

Then, put the small fish, shrimp, and tofu cut into pieces into the pot.

Zhang Xu took out the spirit spring pot, added the spirit spring water, shredded green onion and shredded ginger, set fire to it, and started to boil the soup.

Next, it is the ingredients to be used to process the braised fish.

Cut the fish into three-centimeter-long, three-centimeter-wide, and one-centimeter-thick pieces.

Next, prepare to start cooking braised fish.

After wiping the pot with ginger slices, put it on the fire. After the pot is heated through, pour the oil. When it is [-]% hot, put in the fish pieces and fry on medium heat until the fish is slightly golden.

Pour cooking wine over the fried fish, add soy sauce, sugar, and chicken stock, and pour enough spiritual spring water to cover the fish.

Add shallots, ginger, and garlic, bring to a boil over high heat, cover with a lid, and cook over medium-high heat until the soup thickens.

Get out of the pot.

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, a strong fragrance came out.

This smell is different from the smell of ordinary fish.Full-bodied, full-bodied, with a heart-pounding feeling.

Zhang Xu made this simple dish and was the first one to finish it.

When Zhang Xu started cooking, many people smelled the aroma and looked over.

Wan Mingyang, Zheng Qinxue, and Deng Chuyan walked over happily.

Although Li Baihao and Guan Huairen didn't show it on their faces, judging from their expressions, they also had some expectations.

The five people walked up to Zhang Xu and looked at the plate of braised fish nuggets with expressions of admiration.

The skin of the fish is golden yellow, and the thick soup is scattered on it, which looks very tempting.

Wan Mingyang first picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, Wan Mingyang was surprised.

The fish is also delicious.The outside is a little crispy, and the fish inside is very tender.

When you bite into it, the plump juice comes out.

The tenderness of the fish and the mellowness of the soup are intertwined, which makes people want to stop.

Especially the taste of this fish, isn't it great?
So tender, so bouncy...

Wan Mingyang gave ten points without saying a word.

Then he picked up another piece of fish with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth.

Seeing Wan Mingyang like this, Zheng Qinxue and Deng Chuyan immediately picked up a piece of fish and began to savor it.

Both of them also showed surprise expressions on their faces, and then they both gave ten points.

Deng Chuyan shook his head and sighed, "This fish, this soup, tastes so good. It's like a fine nectar. I have lived for more than 80 years, and I have never eaten such delicious fish. This What kind of fish is it?"

Zhang Xu quickly replied, "It's an uncommon sea fish. I also got it by accident, not many."

Li Baihao tasted a piece of fish, sighed, and gave it ten points: destined, what the Kong family wanted is impossible.

And Guan Huairen tasted a piece of fish, shook his head, and gave it ten points.

Then, disregarding their image, the five people began to fight for the fish on the plate, but within 2 minutes, there was only soup left.

Wan Mingyang actually took out a piece of bread, dipped the bread in the soup, and ate it.

It doesn't look like the president of the Chefs Association, he is clearly a hungry ghost who has been hungry for a long time and has not eaten.

For Zheng Qinxue next to her, Deng Chuyan didn't show any contempt at all, but rather admired Wan Mingyang's wit: If I had known earlier, I should have brought some bread.You can also eat more soup.

Indeed, whether it is fish or soup, it is too delicious.After eating, the abdomen is warm and very comfortable.

Make your body and mind feel better.

Then, other participating chefs also finished their dishes one after another, and the five of them went to rate them.

However, after eating Zhang Xu's braised fish, I really feel that other dishes taste like chewing gum.

It does not have any taste.

They also don't understand why they thought it was good before with such unpalatable ingredients and such bad cooking skills.

Zhang Xu looked at Tang.

The soup is already boiled.It should simmer for a while longer.

Zhang Xu dropped the salt.

The fish and shrimp are relatively fresh, and they are boiled with Lingquan water. No other condiments are needed to enhance the taste. Just add salt, and the previous shredded ginger and green onion to release the umami taste of the fish and shrimp. That's it.

Soon, Zhang Xu's fish, shrimp and tofu soup was ready.

Wan Mingyang and the other five couldn't wait.

Seeing Zhang Xu's soup coming out of the pot, he ran over.

Seeing the soup in front of them, all five of them exclaimed in admiration.

Each pink fish, each white, white shrimp, in the milky white, milky white soup, looks as if they are alive.

The little fish has every face, eyes, mouth, and fins are all carved out.

The lobes and legs of the shrimp are all incomparable.

This carving alone can give a perfect score.

Although the tofu has been reduced to a supporting role, it looks very tender.

Trembling and trembling, like a fine ointment.

There is also the aroma of the soup, which makes people's spirits shake, and their index fingers move, and they want to take a few bites.

Wan Mingyang was not polite at all, he directly took a small bowl, took a spoon, scooped up fish, shrimp, tofu, and some soup.

After scooping it up, I picked up the spoon and tasted it.

　Thank you for being a guest, for your reward, thank you very much
