Chapter 47 Crucian Carp Tofu Soup
Minced Chicken and Mushroom Soup is a very common soup in Western restaurants. The soup is thick and the overall taste is milky and salty. Because of the addition of milk and fresh white mushrooms, it brings a little natural sweetness. It tastes amazing. Addictive, just right with French bread.
The spice commonly used to garnish this soup is thyme.
The taste is slightly pungent.
Or if you like a light taste, you can add some parsley. The unique aroma of celery can make the soup smell fresh in this step, but if you add a little more, it will easily suppress the flavor of the soup itself. The taste makes the taste of white mushrooms and other ingredients in the soup seem a little bland.
Secondly, I will consider adding shredded seaweed. The taste of this kind of seaweed can also be used as a choice to enhance the umami taste in due course.
The bowl of soup Cheng Youyou drank belongs to the second choice of collocation.
The broken dark green on the noodles is sprinkled on the thick white soup, the color matching is not a problem——
The problem is, there's a little wackiness in this soup.
Almost overwhelmed by that parsley flavor.
In this bowl of soup, whether it is white mushrooms or shredded chicken, it is handled just right, and the stirring degree of the soup is just right.
If you ignore the slight oddity, this soup is actually pretty good.
Cheng Youyou frowned, thinking it was her own illusion, and turned to look at Luo Zijin who also picked up the spoon and tasted it.
Seeing that she only took a sip and stopped continuing, Luo Zijin cast his doubts when he met her eyes.
Cheng Youyou pondered for a few seconds, looked at the waiter who was serving the meal, and continued to chat with Luo Zijin in Chinese naturally:
"How do you like this soup?"
Luo Zijin stopped, and originally wanted to take another spoonful to taste, but seeing Cheng Youyou's strange expression, he thought there was something wrong with the soup, so he froze immediately.
After recollecting the taste that stayed in his mouth, he shook his head lightly after a while, but found nothing wrong.
It's just that his expression has become somewhat stiff.
Cheng Youyou patted the back of her hand lightly, and comforted her: "It's okay, the ingredients are fine, I mean the taste—do you think this soup is delicious?"
Luo Zijin was relieved, and sure enough, she took another sip as she wanted.
He even blinked his eyes lightly, concentrating on trying to distinguish the taste of the thick soup in his mouth.
Fragrant and delicious, with a little sweetness, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Cheng Youyou thought that she was thinking too much, so she held the soup spoon and took another sip. After a while, she held a mouthful of soup in her mouth and swallowed it with difficulty.
The second sip found that weird taste even stronger.
What weird genius chef put bay leaves in this soup?
Although the taste of bay leaves can produce the same slightly pungent seasoning effect as thyme when boiled into the soup, there is a difference in taste between the two, and parsley can't hide the huge difference...
Cheng Youyou tried her best to stretch her brows, not wanting the waiter to think that she was picky about the hotel's service.
So she decided to cut a piece of steak and try it.
Sirloin steak with black pepper sauce is a classic match.
The surface of the cooked steak was grilled with dark network cross lines, the black pepper juice was poured on it, spread on the surface of the steak, and slowly flowed into the white porcelain plate below.
Half-cut cherry tomatoes and small pieces of asparagus after blanching are placed on the side as a decoration.
Cheng Youyou picked up the knife and slowly cut open the beef. The contrast between the cooked red inside and the dark surface made her index finger move. She cut a piece of meat and put it in her mouth——
The whole person sat on the sofa in a daze for three seconds.
Seeing her reaction since the meal, the light-blond-haired waiter lowered his head and continued to serve them the meal, but the corners of his lips were raised to the quiet side, and there was a little interest in his blue eyes.
As expected of Xie's apprentice, qualified.
She blew out a breath, blowing the slanting broken bangs on her forehead flying upwards, feeling quite happy.
If she hadn't been thinking about her disguise at the moment, she would have happily hummed a song—a decent opponent finally came, which made her a little excited.
Ying also wants to participate in the World Gourmet Contest, and has collected two victory fruits so far.
Originally, Mitchell asked her to challenge Xie Tiao's apprentice, but she didn't want to agree. She always felt that such a kid who had never participated in any world-class competition was not qualified to be challenged by her at all.
Later, I don’t know what her master and Mitchell said——
It turned into Cheng Youyou coming to challenge her.
So Ying thought for a while, and decided to test herself, whether this cute little girl is qualified to be the protagonist of her pastime before the next game.
Now, Cheng Youyou has passed her test.
only--
Ying curled her lips in her heart, feeling that this bullying-looking kid really has no temper at all. If she had received such an obvious provocation, she should have spoken a long time ago, but she was still able to sit peacefully in her seat On the face, only her expression revealed her doubts.
……
Cheng Youyou didn't know what the thoughtful blond lady next to her was thinking. She put down the knife and fork rather crying, feeling as if she had been pranked.
After stopping to eat twice in a row, Luo Zijin was not in the mood to continue eating.
"Is it not to your taste?"
In Luo Zijin's impression, when she hadn't seen Cheng Youyou's picky eaters, seeing that she stopped eating, she couldn't help wondering:
Could it be that after staying with a professional gourmet like Xie Yi for a long time, Cheng Youyou's taste in food has also become tricky?
...It seems that the cook at home will have to be more professional in the future.
Luo Zijin secretly planned in his heart.
Cheng Youyou gently stroked the hair on the side of the ear, combed the gradually green curly hair towards the back of the head, gently scraped a trace of black pepper juice on the plate with the back of the spoon, and took a closer look , only crushed black peppercorns, nothing unusual.
She exhaled.
Turning to look at Luo Zijin again, he frowned and suggested:
"Why don't you try the steak?"
Looking at her expression, Luo Zijin couldn't help but think of a sentence:
I always feel that Cheng Youyou's expression now is not inviting her to eat steak, but... testing the poison.
Cheng Youyou didn't forget to repeat it to her:
"Don't worry, the ingredients are really fresh, and there is nothing incompatible with them, but I always feel that the taste is a bit weird."
Luo Zijin looked at the steak on her plate, and soon, holding the knife and fork, she turned to the direction of her plate, and cut a piece along the place she just cut.
The movements of the two were intimate and natural, and the waiter next to him raised his eyebrows a little. He always felt that the person sitting next to his opponent looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
——But she didn't chase stars in her life, and she was even less interested in Hua Guo's stars, so she naturally couldn't recognize who Luo Zijin was.
Luo Zijin hesitated when he put the steak meat into his mouth. He even hesitated when he clenched his teeth, thinking that Cheng Youyou had eaten some dark food, but he just pushed him on the bed and bullied him for a long time. Yoyo asked her to taste a fried mooncake with watermelon, and even a certain Luo star with a guilty conscience could only bite the bullet and open his mouth.
To her surprise, the beef was fried just right, and the inside was tender, but probably because the black pepper juice was put in too much, the spiciness lingered in the mouth for a long time.
Luo Zijin was puzzled for a moment, and asked:
"It's too spicy?"
But this level should also be within the acceptable range of ordinary people.
Luo Zijin thought for a long time, only to be more and more sure that Cheng Youyou's mouth had become tricky.
Cheng Youyou sighed, frowned and said, "Six mature, the steak is just right, and a little lime juice dripped after frying. Of course, it's not impossible to continue to cover it with black pepper juice. The problem is—"
Luo Zijin: "?"
Cheng Youyou raised her hand to support her forehead, and expressed her inner admiration as much as possible within the range of low volume: "The question is why there is pepper in it?!"
Very slight, very slight chili that can be overwhelmed by the black pepper flavor.
But whether it is pepper, black pepper, sharp pepper, or ordinary green pepper, as well as the spicy taste of other spices, there are differences.
If all the spicy tastes in the world are the same, there is no need to develop so many spicy flavors, because there are different levels and degrees of spicy.
If it wasn't for Xie Tiao's usual training that was always weird, Cheng Youyou wouldn't be so sensitive now.
Luo Xueba once again encountered a knowledge blind spot, looked down at the black pepper juice on the plate, and there was something incredible in his usually cold voice:
"You mean, there's chili in it...?"
What kind of weird combination is this?
Hearing her exclamation, an uncontrollable chuckle suddenly came from beside her: "Pfft."
Cheng Youyou followed the sound, and saw the blond waiter standing by the dining car, raised his hand and took off the badge that was handed over from someone else, tossed it up and down, then looked in Cheng Youyou's direction, and the exit The Chinese tone is slightly fluttering, which sounds a bit weird:
“I would complain to the cook in this old hotel if I wanted to be you.”
Cheng Youyou watched her movements, and before she had time to speak, the door of the closed room next to her opened at some point. Xie Tie leaned on the door with her arms folded, her eyes half-opened lazily on her flirtatious face, revealing There was a faint sense of just waking up.
However, the undisguised danger on her body was stronger than usual, making her look like a lion just waking up.
No matter how sleepy it is, it is also a ferocious carnivore.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the light-blond-haired waiter, and her tone of voice was drawn out slowly, lazily with a hint of hoarseness:
"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night, and disturb couples getting along. In our country, people like you will be kicked by donkeys."
It obviously sounded like a laughing voice, but compared to Ying's poor Chinese before, it seemed a little more ironic for some reason.
When Cheng Youyou heard her word 'couple', her cheeks suddenly flushed red.
Love...a couple, do you mean her and Luo Zijin?
Hearing her voice, Ying looked over there with blue eyes, whistled to Xie Yi, didn't mind what she just said, and continued speaking in her poor Chinese:
"You are Xie Tiao."
"Tsk, Xie Yi, three times, smooth your tongue."
Hearing her pronounce his name, Xie Tiao curled his lips in disgust and corrected her pronunciation.
Ying paused, and decided to talk to her in English, which she was better at. The American pronunciation was smooth and free, with a slight bounce in the ending, which was very comfortable to listen to.
"Mitchell mentioned you to me many times."
Xie Tiao also switched languages according to the situation, snorted lightly, and replied:
"It's normal for a loser to feel bad about the person who beat him."
Ying looked at her, then at Cheng Youyou, and felt that the difference in personality between the master and apprentice was quite interesting.
She shrugged, she didn't comment on Xie Tiao's position with Mitchell, and she didn't intend to refute.
Only using his chin to indicate the direction of the next Cheng Youyou, pinching the pin of the badge with his fingertips, he announced before leaving:
"Hmm, she has passed my test, and I am looking forward to tomorrow—hope she will not disappoint like you."
Through this conversation, Luo Zijin already had some understanding of the current situation.
Knowing that Cheng Youyou was approached by his opponent.
Luo Zijin suddenly lost the intention to continue eating, wondering what surprises were waiting for them in the leftover bread and desserts—although she couldn't taste it, it didn't stop Luo Zijin from appreciating her works at all. Say no.
She turned her head to look at Cheng Youyou, and Xie Tie's smiling words came up at the right time:
"Apprentice, you have been provoked."
Cheng Youyou looked at Ying seriously, met her somewhat contemptuous attitude, as if what she was about to play was not a game, but a relaxed gesture, and replied:
"I hope you will be as relaxed on the cooking table tomorrow as you are now."
Ying raised her eyebrows, and was not interested in continuing to pretend, so she turned around and walked out, closing the hotel door behind her.
Putting these words aside... Xie Tiao leaned on the porch and hummed softly in satisfaction.
A slight smile appeared on Luo Zijin's lips, feeling that the little milk cat was still as cute as ever when it was disguised as a tiger just now.
However, after the sound of closing the door——
Cheng Youyou immediately slumped her shoulders, took a deep breath, and subconsciously looked at Luo Zijin, a little belated panic appeared in her crooked eyes, and she asked uncertainly:
"I just said that...is it okay?"
Luo Zijin nodded to her, and praised: "It's good."
Xie Tiao who was ignored at the door: "..."
She coughed heavily, reminding a certain apprentice who only had eyes for objects to pay attention, she, an old man, is still watching.
After coughing, it was not enough, so I casually reminded:
"If I read the time correctly, it seems to be quite late now?"
Luo Zijin: "..."
She understood what Xie Tiao meant in seconds.
And with this inexplicable gaze from the elders, she really couldn't have the cheek to let Cheng Youyou stay by herself.
hateful--
If only they were just the two of them right now.
She could only get up from the sofa, squinting at Cheng Youyou who was sitting next to her, but she didn't move, she just opened her lips and asked:
"I'm leaving?"
Sure enough, Cheng Youyou didn't receive her message, or in other words, even if he did, he didn't dare to spend the night with her.
What happened on the big bed in the room just now still stays in her mind. Although she was interrupted by Ying's arrival and temporarily packed that memory into a corner, it doesn't mean that she will wait until the two of them are together again. When alone in a quiet room, that scene will not be repeated again.
So, hearing her question, Cheng Youyou blushed a little, got up from the sofa in a hurry, and said to her:
"I'll send it to you."
Luo Zijin: "..."
All right, send it away, anyway, they come, day, party, and long.
In fact, the so-called delivery was just to the door. Luo Zijin walked outside the door and realized that Xie Tiao couldn't see him in that direction, so he looked at Cheng Youyou who was holding the doorknob.
Receiving her gaze, Cheng Youyou thought for a while, then smiled at her and added:
"Walk slowly."
Luo Zijin could only return her same smile.
walk slowly, right?
You don't want to keep her at all, do you?
The black eyes are like fine gemstones, reflecting the warm light on the ceiling of the corridor, containing a star of extremely dazzling light.
She silently mouthed to Cheng Youyou, took out the mask she took off when she entered the door, and put it on again, then walked towards the elevator in a happy mood.
Cheng Youyou puffed her cheeks, feeling that her face was going to be hot again.
Want to hold back.
But the words spoken by the other party's mouth shape seemed to automatically bring sound effects, which played in a loop in her mind, so Cheng Youyou endured it, and still inevitably turned into a ripe orange.
"Next time I will continue to bully you."
Continue to bully next time...
next time……
Bully……
Cheng Youyou felt that the heat from her palm could cook the doorknob.
Until later, Xie Tiao's ridicule with a smile came:
"You are planning to send your soul out of your body, right?"
Cheng Youyou immediately turned her head, closed the door by the way, and hurriedly shook her head at Xie Tiao:
"No, no, no, no."
While talking, he saw the dining car that hadn't been taken away, thought of something, and quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, master, did you call this room service?"
Xie Tiao casually straightened her long black hair, passed through the curly black hair between her fingers, and twitched her lips dangerously. She looked at Cheng Youyou:
"Among the two of us, who do you think is more like the person who wants to have a supper before going to bed?"
Cheng Youyou was overwhelmed by this question.
Then suddenly realized: "So Master, you didn't order room service?!"
Xie Tiao sighed, feeling that sooner or later this apprentice would be stupid, how could someone be so stupid?
but……
Her partner seems to be quite shrewd.
Xie Tiao stepped forward, picked up a fork to poke the steak on the plate, took it close to smell it, took another bite, and discerned the smell inside.
Then he looked at the rest of the meal and asked, "What else did you eat?"
Cheng Youyou blinked blankly, pointed in Tang's direction and replied:
"That bowl of cream of mushroom soup."
Xie Tiao exhaled helplessly, and had no choice but to pick up the soup bowl and take a sip.
Cheng Youyou came up to confirm it tentatively: "Master, a little bay leaf is added to the soup, right?"
Xie Tie let out a snort through his nasal cavity, raised his hand and flicked her on the forehead: "You dare to eat indiscriminately before the competition. If one day you meet an opponent who poisons you, you can squat in the toilet and cry."
There was a crisp sound of 'da'.
This time, she really didn't hold back her strength when she knocked on people, causing Cheng Youyou's forehead to flush immediately. She wanted to quibble and thought that this service was called by Xie Li, but when she saw the fierce look in her master's eyes, she immediately felt guilty. Keep your mouth shut.
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Xie Tiao reluctantly gestured to her room after a while:
"It's getting late, go back to sleep."
Cheng Youyou nodded, and as soon as he turned around, another sentence floated slowly behind him:
"Also, the next date can be more open and aboveboard. Master, I don't have a rule that prohibits apprentices from falling in love early."
The heat that had just faded from Cheng Youyou's face came back up again, and she retorted loudly in her heart:
She is already past the age of early-love, okay, Master!
……
after one day.
seven in the morning.
Three black Mercedes-Benz parked downstairs in the hotel. The rear window of the one in the middle was lowered, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a serious expression and a smile.
His hair is neatly combed back, and the profile of his face is wider, perhaps because of the lighter color of his eyes. When the light blue eyes look politely at the two of Xie Tiao outside the window, they always show a bit of indifference and kindness. light.
Mitchell took the lead in nodding to Xie Tiao as a greeting, but he didn't have the enthusiasm of a local at all, which made him seem even more inaccessible.
Cheng Youyou could tell with just one glance that he must be more fierce than his master.
A man got out of the car behind, and after greeting the two of them with a smile, he politely opened the car door and made a 'please' gesture to the two of them.
Xie Tiao and Cheng Youyou sat in the back seat one by one, and the man returned to the co-pilot's seat again, and the three cars drove slowly to the outside of the hotel.
It wasn't until he got into the car that Xie Tiao briefly mentioned something to Cheng Youyou:
"The old man you saw just now is Mitchell. When he was rated by Michelin this year, he was promoted to a three-star chef. It is estimated that his cooking skills have indeed improved."
The tone of the sentence added at the end is extremely natural.
Cheng Youyou's eyes slightly widened because of her words.
The three-star rating is very rare, and there are very few restaurants that can get this rating, and the personal evaluation of the chef will only be more stringent than this.
Star ratings are re-evaluated annually.
It is often heard that many chefs have been preparing for this star rating for many years. Many people are stuck on the two-star rating and cannot make any further progress. There are also many chefs who have been downgraded to three stars in the year following their promotion. They cannot bear the gap and choose to jump off the building. .
Michelin three stars means the pinnacle of culinary skills, and the top personnel in any industry will have the same reputation and worth.
Whether you are running a restaurant by yourself or want to run your own catering group, it is a good choice.
Thinking of this, Cheng Youyou looked at Xie Tiao next to him——
Since she won that year's World Food Competition, it seemed like she hadn't heard from the competition for ten years.
She asked out her doubts.
Xie Tiao looked out of the window, with a faint smile on her lips, she raised her hand to support her chin, the tear mole at the end of her eye leaked between her fingers, her temperament was inexplicably flirtatious.
Cheng Youyou heard her smile and affirmed:
"You heard me right, that is indeed the most recent World Food Competition."
Because Cheng Youyou hadn't considered taking the path of a gourmet before, so Cheng Youyou didn't inquire about the news carefully. Now when he heard Master's words, his face was more surprised than before——
"So master, you are the youngest 'God of Cookery'?"
Xie Yue smiled, and didn't tell her too much about the food contest, but only slightly corrected her:
"No, the title 'God of Cookery' can only be owned by one person at a time—"
After a pause, she smiled:
"So, this year happens to be the tenth year that your master and I bear this title."
Cheng Youyou wanted to pass tea to Master, and felt that Xie Yi's unique name must be more powerful than Mitchell's one-in-68 three-star.
#My master is the number one series in the world#
Such a master, she can blow it up!
After complimenting Xie Tiao from the bottom of her heart, Cheng Youyou held her face and thought:
Since Xie Tiao is so much better than Mitchell, why does my master live such a low-key life?
With her ability, no matter if she runs a restaurant or does something else, she will definitely be more famous than she is now.
Xie Tie saw her doubts, and didn't speak any more, but raised her chin slightly to signal her to look ahead, she had already arrived at her destination.
As expected, Cheng Youyou's attention was diverted. For her, the upcoming competition is the most important thing right now.
……
The vehicle drove into a huge private garden. Nearby was a lush green pasture. In the distance, rows of woods could be seen, hidden by layers. I don't know what lies behind.
After driving along the specially built driveway for a few minutes and turning a corner, the first thing you see is a fountain, a cluster of main water columns emerges from the pool, and then spreads out gradually, and the surrounding lower ones Those rows also sprayed out one by one, and the water splashed a thin layer of mist.
But it still does not prevent the people sitting in the car from seeing the destination of the car after the fountain falls——
It was a very big villa.
The villa is mainly in white. There are several snow-white round marble columns in front of the door on the first floor, which are classic Greek Corinthian columns. But you can see some gorgeous and slender flavors.
The car stopped in front of the villa, and Mitchell got out of the car first, walked to Xie Tiao's car door, and raised his hand to help her open the door.
"Welcome to my private courtyard, thank you."
Xie Tiao only hooked the corner of his lower lip, got out of the car, looked at the villa in front of him, but went straight to the point:
"Who else is here this time?"
Naturally, it is impossible for her and Mitchell's apprentice to be the only judges.
"Lorica from the French Spire Restaurant, she came here recently to find inspiration for new dishes; and Alfred from the Red House Restaurant in Washington." Mitchell briefly introduced the identities of the other two judges.
Compared with these two judges, he is much more busy. It stands to reason that he can be busy 360 five days a year.
After all, he is a chef who has just been promoted to three stars, and he spends more than twelve hours in the kitchen of his restaurant every day. In order to allow today's competition to proceed normally, he chose to close the restaurant for a day.
——Of course, he will not specifically mention this matter.
Xie Yi nodded, indicating that he knew.
"According to common sense, Xie, the judges should be invited by both of us." This is the most appropriate way for the fairness of the competition.
Mitchell is rigorous in his work and does not want to let this game have the slightest criticism.
Xie Yue laughed out loud and replied:
"Forget it, I can still trust your character."
She is lazy in the first place, except that she was diligent when preparing for the food competition, and in the following time, apart from accepting challenges from her peers, she usually does not have much contact with people in the industry, so she is a lazy type.
Mitchell stopped persuading and took the two of them to the villa.
……
After half an hour.
Two cooking tables have been set up in the spacious hall, Cheng Youyou and Ying occupy one side each, both wearing clean and white chef uniforms.
When they first came in, they had already got the three questions for this competition, and spent less than 5 minutes thinking about them. After that, they each wrote down the materials they needed and handed them over to the buyer in the villa. The fresh ingredients they needed were shipped over quickly.
The first topic is fish.
This content is very broad, and there is plenty of room for development.
Cheng Youyou's style generally still has the characteristics of the eight major domestic cuisines, but he will learn the western aesthetics when arranging the dishes, and handle the dishes more delicately.
Contrary to her, for Ying, no matter in the handling of ingredients or the tools used in cooking, they are all more professional instruments, so there is an obvious difference between the two cooking tables——
There is a big iron pot in front of Cheng Youyou.
On Ying's side, there are small-mouth flamethrowers, temperature measuring instruments and other precision cooking utensils for the kitchen.
Both represent different culinary schools.
The four judges were sitting ten meters away from them, and the names of their first dishes were written on the cards in their hands.
Seeing the name of Cheng Youyou's dish, Xie Ruo smiled a little.
There are five simple words written on it:
Crucian carp tofu soup.
Ying's style is much simpler and rougher, and he directly uses the name of the main ingredient as the name of the dish: golden sea bream.
——I don’t know if the names of the dishes on her restaurant menu are so straightforward.
……
Cheng Youyou descaled a few fresh crucian carp, then poured oil into the pan, and fried the crucian carp until golden.
Chinese cooking has an advantage in terms of smell. Although frying, frying and other methods do not look so delicate, the smell can easily achieve an appetizing effect.
Of course, this targeting effect also varies from person to person.
To put it simply, in a country that is accustomed to the original taste of ingredients, if a chef uses heavy oil and salt torches to overcook the dishes, he will only get strange attention from others, and they will think that the chef’s approach has destroyed the ingredients. The molecular components in it completely deprive the nutrition of the ingredients themselves.
On her other side, Ying has a pink Hokkaido golden-eye sea bream on Ying's cooking board.
If it is said that crucian carp needs to be boiled with tofu to exude its own umami taste, then the meat of Hokkaido golden sea bream is very distinctive.
After being cut open, the meat inside looks like a light pink pearl. The rich fat layer makes the fish look almost transparent, and the delicate color of the fish becomes a visual pleasure just looking at it.
Ying cut the fish into small diamond-shaped pieces and placed them next to him. He turned on the fire-breathing gun used in the kitchen, and the high-temperature flames shot out from the muzzle, slightly curling the light-colored skin on the surface of the fish. The fish skin shrinks inward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the patterns on the scales become much smaller.
Eventually, the outer skin was overcooked by the flames, turning an orange-gold.
Ying's fish dish doesn't take too long, which is in line with the serving standards of Michelin restaurants. It is a small-scale operation, and it is presented to diners immediately after it is ready.
If the time required for each dish is too long, diners will have to wait for a long time. After their patience is exhausted, they will lose interest in tasting the best food that will be presented later.
When she was handling the fish, the crucian carp on Cheng Youyou's side was already cooked. She added water to the pot, then picked up the spoon to mash the fish, so that the taste of the cooked fish could be fully immersed in the soup, and slowly The soup boiled into a snow-white appearance, looking extremely delicious.
While the fish soup was cooking, she processed tofu, crab-flavored mushrooms, peas and fresh day lily in turn.
The stalks of the day lily are removed, and the tofu is pressed out into small flower-shaped pieces with a mold, which maintains the exquisiteness of the plate after the shape.
——If it weren't for Mitchell's own abundant resources, it would be difficult to prepare so many fresh Huaguo ingredients for her here.
After the fish soup is boiled, filter out all the residue of the fish meat, then add tofu, peas and day lily to the snow-white soup in turn, and continue to cook over high heat.
Cheng Youyou exhaled lightly, and looked at the unique, seasonal ingredients suitable for this season——
matsutake.
Fresh ingredients in summer, delicious and unique, are the key taste of this dish, and they are also ingredients that need to be handled separately.
The author has something to say: Crying, I thought this chapter could finish the first game qaq
This, this, this... It's all because yesterday's chapter was locked! !
During the writing of the Bawang ticket thank-you speech, the author knelt down and begged you to make up for yesterday's subscription?
Looking at the income of his backstage, weeping and fainting in the toilet]
The spice commonly used to garnish this soup is thyme.
The taste is slightly pungent.
Or if you like a light taste, you can add some parsley. The unique aroma of celery can make the soup smell fresh in this step, but if you add a little more, it will easily suppress the flavor of the soup itself. The taste makes the taste of white mushrooms and other ingredients in the soup seem a little bland.
Secondly, I will consider adding shredded seaweed. The taste of this kind of seaweed can also be used as a choice to enhance the umami taste in due course.
The bowl of soup Cheng Youyou drank belongs to the second choice of collocation.
The broken dark green on the noodles is sprinkled on the thick white soup, the color matching is not a problem——
The problem is, there's a little wackiness in this soup.
Almost overwhelmed by that parsley flavor.
In this bowl of soup, whether it is white mushrooms or shredded chicken, it is handled just right, and the stirring degree of the soup is just right.
If you ignore the slight oddity, this soup is actually pretty good.
Cheng Youyou frowned, thinking it was her own illusion, and turned to look at Luo Zijin who also picked up the spoon and tasted it.
Seeing that she only took a sip and stopped continuing, Luo Zijin cast his doubts when he met her eyes.
Cheng Youyou pondered for a few seconds, looked at the waiter who was serving the meal, and continued to chat with Luo Zijin in Chinese naturally:
"How do you like this soup?"
Luo Zijin stopped, and originally wanted to take another spoonful to taste, but seeing Cheng Youyou's strange expression, he thought there was something wrong with the soup, so he froze immediately.
After recollecting the taste that stayed in his mouth, he shook his head lightly after a while, but found nothing wrong.
It's just that his expression has become somewhat stiff.
Cheng Youyou patted the back of her hand lightly, and comforted her: "It's okay, the ingredients are fine, I mean the taste—do you think this soup is delicious?"
Luo Zijin was relieved, and sure enough, she took another sip as she wanted.
He even blinked his eyes lightly, concentrating on trying to distinguish the taste of the thick soup in his mouth.
Fragrant and delicious, with a little sweetness, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Cheng Youyou thought that she was thinking too much, so she held the soup spoon and took another sip. After a while, she held a mouthful of soup in her mouth and swallowed it with difficulty.
The second sip found that weird taste even stronger.
What weird genius chef put bay leaves in this soup?
Although the taste of bay leaves can produce the same slightly pungent seasoning effect as thyme when boiled into the soup, there is a difference in taste between the two, and parsley can't hide the huge difference...
Cheng Youyou tried her best to stretch her brows, not wanting the waiter to think that she was picky about the hotel's service.
So she decided to cut a piece of steak and try it.
Sirloin steak with black pepper sauce is a classic match.
The surface of the cooked steak was grilled with dark network cross lines, the black pepper juice was poured on it, spread on the surface of the steak, and slowly flowed into the white porcelain plate below.
Half-cut cherry tomatoes and small pieces of asparagus after blanching are placed on the side as a decoration.
Cheng Youyou picked up the knife and slowly cut open the beef. The contrast between the cooked red inside and the dark surface made her index finger move. She cut a piece of meat and put it in her mouth——
The whole person sat on the sofa in a daze for three seconds.
Seeing her reaction since the meal, the light-blond-haired waiter lowered his head and continued to serve them the meal, but the corners of his lips were raised to the quiet side, and there was a little interest in his blue eyes.
As expected of Xie's apprentice, qualified.
She blew out a breath, blowing the slanting broken bangs on her forehead flying upwards, feeling quite happy.
If she hadn't been thinking about her disguise at the moment, she would have happily hummed a song—a decent opponent finally came, which made her a little excited.
Ying also wants to participate in the World Gourmet Contest, and has collected two victory fruits so far.
Originally, Mitchell asked her to challenge Xie Tiao's apprentice, but she didn't want to agree. She always felt that such a kid who had never participated in any world-class competition was not qualified to be challenged by her at all.
Later, I don’t know what her master and Mitchell said——
It turned into Cheng Youyou coming to challenge her.
So Ying thought for a while, and decided to test herself, whether this cute little girl is qualified to be the protagonist of her pastime before the next game.
Now, Cheng Youyou has passed her test.
only--
Ying curled her lips in her heart, feeling that this bullying-looking kid really has no temper at all. If she had received such an obvious provocation, she should have spoken a long time ago, but she was still able to sit peacefully in her seat On the face, only her expression revealed her doubts.
……
Cheng Youyou didn't know what the thoughtful blond lady next to her was thinking. She put down the knife and fork rather crying, feeling as if she had been pranked.
After stopping to eat twice in a row, Luo Zijin was not in the mood to continue eating.
"Is it not to your taste?"
In Luo Zijin's impression, when she hadn't seen Cheng Youyou's picky eaters, seeing that she stopped eating, she couldn't help wondering:
Could it be that after staying with a professional gourmet like Xie Yi for a long time, Cheng Youyou's taste in food has also become tricky?
...It seems that the cook at home will have to be more professional in the future.
Luo Zijin secretly planned in his heart.
Cheng Youyou gently stroked the hair on the side of the ear, combed the gradually green curly hair towards the back of the head, gently scraped a trace of black pepper juice on the plate with the back of the spoon, and took a closer look , only crushed black peppercorns, nothing unusual.
She exhaled.
Turning to look at Luo Zijin again, he frowned and suggested:
"Why don't you try the steak?"
Looking at her expression, Luo Zijin couldn't help but think of a sentence:
I always feel that Cheng Youyou's expression now is not inviting her to eat steak, but... testing the poison.
Cheng Youyou didn't forget to repeat it to her:
"Don't worry, the ingredients are really fresh, and there is nothing incompatible with them, but I always feel that the taste is a bit weird."
Luo Zijin looked at the steak on her plate, and soon, holding the knife and fork, she turned to the direction of her plate, and cut a piece along the place she just cut.
The movements of the two were intimate and natural, and the waiter next to him raised his eyebrows a little. He always felt that the person sitting next to his opponent looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
——But she didn't chase stars in her life, and she was even less interested in Hua Guo's stars, so she naturally couldn't recognize who Luo Zijin was.
Luo Zijin hesitated when he put the steak meat into his mouth. He even hesitated when he clenched his teeth, thinking that Cheng Youyou had eaten some dark food, but he just pushed him on the bed and bullied him for a long time. Yoyo asked her to taste a fried mooncake with watermelon, and even a certain Luo star with a guilty conscience could only bite the bullet and open his mouth.
To her surprise, the beef was fried just right, and the inside was tender, but probably because the black pepper juice was put in too much, the spiciness lingered in the mouth for a long time.
Luo Zijin was puzzled for a moment, and asked:
"It's too spicy?"
But this level should also be within the acceptable range of ordinary people.
Luo Zijin thought for a long time, only to be more and more sure that Cheng Youyou's mouth had become tricky.
Cheng Youyou sighed, frowned and said, "Six mature, the steak is just right, and a little lime juice dripped after frying. Of course, it's not impossible to continue to cover it with black pepper juice. The problem is—"
Luo Zijin: "?"
Cheng Youyou raised her hand to support her forehead, and expressed her inner admiration as much as possible within the range of low volume: "The question is why there is pepper in it?!"
Very slight, very slight chili that can be overwhelmed by the black pepper flavor.
But whether it is pepper, black pepper, sharp pepper, or ordinary green pepper, as well as the spicy taste of other spices, there are differences.
If all the spicy tastes in the world are the same, there is no need to develop so many spicy flavors, because there are different levels and degrees of spicy.
If it wasn't for Xie Tiao's usual training that was always weird, Cheng Youyou wouldn't be so sensitive now.
Luo Xueba once again encountered a knowledge blind spot, looked down at the black pepper juice on the plate, and there was something incredible in his usually cold voice:
"You mean, there's chili in it...?"
What kind of weird combination is this?
Hearing her exclamation, an uncontrollable chuckle suddenly came from beside her: "Pfft."
Cheng Youyou followed the sound, and saw the blond waiter standing by the dining car, raised his hand and took off the badge that was handed over from someone else, tossed it up and down, then looked in Cheng Youyou's direction, and the exit The Chinese tone is slightly fluttering, which sounds a bit weird:
“I would complain to the cook in this old hotel if I wanted to be you.”
Cheng Youyou watched her movements, and before she had time to speak, the door of the closed room next to her opened at some point. Xie Tie leaned on the door with her arms folded, her eyes half-opened lazily on her flirtatious face, revealing There was a faint sense of just waking up.
However, the undisguised danger on her body was stronger than usual, making her look like a lion just waking up.
No matter how sleepy it is, it is also a ferocious carnivore.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the light-blond-haired waiter, and her tone of voice was drawn out slowly, lazily with a hint of hoarseness:
"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night, and disturb couples getting along. In our country, people like you will be kicked by donkeys."
It obviously sounded like a laughing voice, but compared to Ying's poor Chinese before, it seemed a little more ironic for some reason.
When Cheng Youyou heard her word 'couple', her cheeks suddenly flushed red.
Love...a couple, do you mean her and Luo Zijin?
Hearing her voice, Ying looked over there with blue eyes, whistled to Xie Yi, didn't mind what she just said, and continued speaking in her poor Chinese:
"You are Xie Tiao."
"Tsk, Xie Yi, three times, smooth your tongue."
Hearing her pronounce his name, Xie Tiao curled his lips in disgust and corrected her pronunciation.
Ying paused, and decided to talk to her in English, which she was better at. The American pronunciation was smooth and free, with a slight bounce in the ending, which was very comfortable to listen to.
"Mitchell mentioned you to me many times."
Xie Tiao also switched languages according to the situation, snorted lightly, and replied:
"It's normal for a loser to feel bad about the person who beat him."
Ying looked at her, then at Cheng Youyou, and felt that the difference in personality between the master and apprentice was quite interesting.
She shrugged, she didn't comment on Xie Tiao's position with Mitchell, and she didn't intend to refute.
Only using his chin to indicate the direction of the next Cheng Youyou, pinching the pin of the badge with his fingertips, he announced before leaving:
"Hmm, she has passed my test, and I am looking forward to tomorrow—hope she will not disappoint like you."
Through this conversation, Luo Zijin already had some understanding of the current situation.
Knowing that Cheng Youyou was approached by his opponent.
Luo Zijin suddenly lost the intention to continue eating, wondering what surprises were waiting for them in the leftover bread and desserts—although she couldn't taste it, it didn't stop Luo Zijin from appreciating her works at all. Say no.
She turned her head to look at Cheng Youyou, and Xie Tie's smiling words came up at the right time:
"Apprentice, you have been provoked."
Cheng Youyou looked at Ying seriously, met her somewhat contemptuous attitude, as if what she was about to play was not a game, but a relaxed gesture, and replied:
"I hope you will be as relaxed on the cooking table tomorrow as you are now."
Ying raised her eyebrows, and was not interested in continuing to pretend, so she turned around and walked out, closing the hotel door behind her.
Putting these words aside... Xie Tiao leaned on the porch and hummed softly in satisfaction.
A slight smile appeared on Luo Zijin's lips, feeling that the little milk cat was still as cute as ever when it was disguised as a tiger just now.
However, after the sound of closing the door——
Cheng Youyou immediately slumped her shoulders, took a deep breath, and subconsciously looked at Luo Zijin, a little belated panic appeared in her crooked eyes, and she asked uncertainly:
"I just said that...is it okay?"
Luo Zijin nodded to her, and praised: "It's good."
Xie Tiao who was ignored at the door: "..."
She coughed heavily, reminding a certain apprentice who only had eyes for objects to pay attention, she, an old man, is still watching.
After coughing, it was not enough, so I casually reminded:
"If I read the time correctly, it seems to be quite late now?"
Luo Zijin: "..."
She understood what Xie Tiao meant in seconds.
And with this inexplicable gaze from the elders, she really couldn't have the cheek to let Cheng Youyou stay by herself.
hateful--
If only they were just the two of them right now.
She could only get up from the sofa, squinting at Cheng Youyou who was sitting next to her, but she didn't move, she just opened her lips and asked:
"I'm leaving?"
Sure enough, Cheng Youyou didn't receive her message, or in other words, even if he did, he didn't dare to spend the night with her.
What happened on the big bed in the room just now still stays in her mind. Although she was interrupted by Ying's arrival and temporarily packed that memory into a corner, it doesn't mean that she will wait until the two of them are together again. When alone in a quiet room, that scene will not be repeated again.
So, hearing her question, Cheng Youyou blushed a little, got up from the sofa in a hurry, and said to her:
"I'll send it to you."
Luo Zijin: "..."
All right, send it away, anyway, they come, day, party, and long.
In fact, the so-called delivery was just to the door. Luo Zijin walked outside the door and realized that Xie Tiao couldn't see him in that direction, so he looked at Cheng Youyou who was holding the doorknob.
Receiving her gaze, Cheng Youyou thought for a while, then smiled at her and added:
"Walk slowly."
Luo Zijin could only return her same smile.
walk slowly, right?
You don't want to keep her at all, do you?
The black eyes are like fine gemstones, reflecting the warm light on the ceiling of the corridor, containing a star of extremely dazzling light.
She silently mouthed to Cheng Youyou, took out the mask she took off when she entered the door, and put it on again, then walked towards the elevator in a happy mood.
Cheng Youyou puffed her cheeks, feeling that her face was going to be hot again.
Want to hold back.
But the words spoken by the other party's mouth shape seemed to automatically bring sound effects, which played in a loop in her mind, so Cheng Youyou endured it, and still inevitably turned into a ripe orange.
"Next time I will continue to bully you."
Continue to bully next time...
next time……
Bully……
Cheng Youyou felt that the heat from her palm could cook the doorknob.
Until later, Xie Tiao's ridicule with a smile came:
"You are planning to send your soul out of your body, right?"
Cheng Youyou immediately turned her head, closed the door by the way, and hurriedly shook her head at Xie Tiao:
"No, no, no, no."
While talking, he saw the dining car that hadn't been taken away, thought of something, and quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, master, did you call this room service?"
Xie Tiao casually straightened her long black hair, passed through the curly black hair between her fingers, and twitched her lips dangerously. She looked at Cheng Youyou:
"Among the two of us, who do you think is more like the person who wants to have a supper before going to bed?"
Cheng Youyou was overwhelmed by this question.
Then suddenly realized: "So Master, you didn't order room service?!"
Xie Tiao sighed, feeling that sooner or later this apprentice would be stupid, how could someone be so stupid?
but……
Her partner seems to be quite shrewd.
Xie Tiao stepped forward, picked up a fork to poke the steak on the plate, took it close to smell it, took another bite, and discerned the smell inside.
Then he looked at the rest of the meal and asked, "What else did you eat?"
Cheng Youyou blinked blankly, pointed in Tang's direction and replied:
"That bowl of cream of mushroom soup."
Xie Tiao exhaled helplessly, and had no choice but to pick up the soup bowl and take a sip.
Cheng Youyou came up to confirm it tentatively: "Master, a little bay leaf is added to the soup, right?"
Xie Tie let out a snort through his nasal cavity, raised his hand and flicked her on the forehead: "You dare to eat indiscriminately before the competition. If one day you meet an opponent who poisons you, you can squat in the toilet and cry."
There was a crisp sound of 'da'.
This time, she really didn't hold back her strength when she knocked on people, causing Cheng Youyou's forehead to flush immediately. She wanted to quibble and thought that this service was called by Xie Li, but when she saw the fierce look in her master's eyes, she immediately felt guilty. Keep your mouth shut.
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Xie Tiao reluctantly gestured to her room after a while:
"It's getting late, go back to sleep."
Cheng Youyou nodded, and as soon as he turned around, another sentence floated slowly behind him:
"Also, the next date can be more open and aboveboard. Master, I don't have a rule that prohibits apprentices from falling in love early."
The heat that had just faded from Cheng Youyou's face came back up again, and she retorted loudly in her heart:
She is already past the age of early-love, okay, Master!
……
after one day.
seven in the morning.
Three black Mercedes-Benz parked downstairs in the hotel. The rear window of the one in the middle was lowered, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a serious expression and a smile.
His hair is neatly combed back, and the profile of his face is wider, perhaps because of the lighter color of his eyes. When the light blue eyes look politely at the two of Xie Tiao outside the window, they always show a bit of indifference and kindness. light.
Mitchell took the lead in nodding to Xie Tiao as a greeting, but he didn't have the enthusiasm of a local at all, which made him seem even more inaccessible.
Cheng Youyou could tell with just one glance that he must be more fierce than his master.
A man got out of the car behind, and after greeting the two of them with a smile, he politely opened the car door and made a 'please' gesture to the two of them.
Xie Tiao and Cheng Youyou sat in the back seat one by one, and the man returned to the co-pilot's seat again, and the three cars drove slowly to the outside of the hotel.
It wasn't until he got into the car that Xie Tiao briefly mentioned something to Cheng Youyou:
"The old man you saw just now is Mitchell. When he was rated by Michelin this year, he was promoted to a three-star chef. It is estimated that his cooking skills have indeed improved."
The tone of the sentence added at the end is extremely natural.
Cheng Youyou's eyes slightly widened because of her words.
The three-star rating is very rare, and there are very few restaurants that can get this rating, and the personal evaluation of the chef will only be more stringent than this.
Star ratings are re-evaluated annually.
It is often heard that many chefs have been preparing for this star rating for many years. Many people are stuck on the two-star rating and cannot make any further progress. There are also many chefs who have been downgraded to three stars in the year following their promotion. They cannot bear the gap and choose to jump off the building. .
Michelin three stars means the pinnacle of culinary skills, and the top personnel in any industry will have the same reputation and worth.
Whether you are running a restaurant by yourself or want to run your own catering group, it is a good choice.
Thinking of this, Cheng Youyou looked at Xie Tiao next to him——
Since she won that year's World Food Competition, it seemed like she hadn't heard from the competition for ten years.
She asked out her doubts.
Xie Tiao looked out of the window, with a faint smile on her lips, she raised her hand to support her chin, the tear mole at the end of her eye leaked between her fingers, her temperament was inexplicably flirtatious.
Cheng Youyou heard her smile and affirmed:
"You heard me right, that is indeed the most recent World Food Competition."
Because Cheng Youyou hadn't considered taking the path of a gourmet before, so Cheng Youyou didn't inquire about the news carefully. Now when he heard Master's words, his face was more surprised than before——
"So master, you are the youngest 'God of Cookery'?"
Xie Yue smiled, and didn't tell her too much about the food contest, but only slightly corrected her:
"No, the title 'God of Cookery' can only be owned by one person at a time—"
After a pause, she smiled:
"So, this year happens to be the tenth year that your master and I bear this title."
Cheng Youyou wanted to pass tea to Master, and felt that Xie Yi's unique name must be more powerful than Mitchell's one-in-68 three-star.
#My master is the number one series in the world#
Such a master, she can blow it up!
After complimenting Xie Tiao from the bottom of her heart, Cheng Youyou held her face and thought:
Since Xie Tiao is so much better than Mitchell, why does my master live such a low-key life?
With her ability, no matter if she runs a restaurant or does something else, she will definitely be more famous than she is now.
Xie Tie saw her doubts, and didn't speak any more, but raised her chin slightly to signal her to look ahead, she had already arrived at her destination.
As expected, Cheng Youyou's attention was diverted. For her, the upcoming competition is the most important thing right now.
……
The vehicle drove into a huge private garden. Nearby was a lush green pasture. In the distance, rows of woods could be seen, hidden by layers. I don't know what lies behind.
After driving along the specially built driveway for a few minutes and turning a corner, the first thing you see is a fountain, a cluster of main water columns emerges from the pool, and then spreads out gradually, and the surrounding lower ones Those rows also sprayed out one by one, and the water splashed a thin layer of mist.
But it still does not prevent the people sitting in the car from seeing the destination of the car after the fountain falls——
It was a very big villa.
The villa is mainly in white. There are several snow-white round marble columns in front of the door on the first floor, which are classic Greek Corinthian columns. But you can see some gorgeous and slender flavors.
The car stopped in front of the villa, and Mitchell got out of the car first, walked to Xie Tiao's car door, and raised his hand to help her open the door.
"Welcome to my private courtyard, thank you."
Xie Tiao only hooked the corner of his lower lip, got out of the car, looked at the villa in front of him, but went straight to the point:
"Who else is here this time?"
Naturally, it is impossible for her and Mitchell's apprentice to be the only judges.
"Lorica from the French Spire Restaurant, she came here recently to find inspiration for new dishes; and Alfred from the Red House Restaurant in Washington." Mitchell briefly introduced the identities of the other two judges.
Compared with these two judges, he is much more busy. It stands to reason that he can be busy 360 five days a year.
After all, he is a chef who has just been promoted to three stars, and he spends more than twelve hours in the kitchen of his restaurant every day. In order to allow today's competition to proceed normally, he chose to close the restaurant for a day.
——Of course, he will not specifically mention this matter.
Xie Yi nodded, indicating that he knew.
"According to common sense, Xie, the judges should be invited by both of us." This is the most appropriate way for the fairness of the competition.
Mitchell is rigorous in his work and does not want to let this game have the slightest criticism.
Xie Yue laughed out loud and replied:
"Forget it, I can still trust your character."
She is lazy in the first place, except that she was diligent when preparing for the food competition, and in the following time, apart from accepting challenges from her peers, she usually does not have much contact with people in the industry, so she is a lazy type.
Mitchell stopped persuading and took the two of them to the villa.
……
After half an hour.
Two cooking tables have been set up in the spacious hall, Cheng Youyou and Ying occupy one side each, both wearing clean and white chef uniforms.
When they first came in, they had already got the three questions for this competition, and spent less than 5 minutes thinking about them. After that, they each wrote down the materials they needed and handed them over to the buyer in the villa. The fresh ingredients they needed were shipped over quickly.
The first topic is fish.
This content is very broad, and there is plenty of room for development.
Cheng Youyou's style generally still has the characteristics of the eight major domestic cuisines, but he will learn the western aesthetics when arranging the dishes, and handle the dishes more delicately.
Contrary to her, for Ying, no matter in the handling of ingredients or the tools used in cooking, they are all more professional instruments, so there is an obvious difference between the two cooking tables——
There is a big iron pot in front of Cheng Youyou.
On Ying's side, there are small-mouth flamethrowers, temperature measuring instruments and other precision cooking utensils for the kitchen.
Both represent different culinary schools.
The four judges were sitting ten meters away from them, and the names of their first dishes were written on the cards in their hands.
Seeing the name of Cheng Youyou's dish, Xie Ruo smiled a little.
There are five simple words written on it:
Crucian carp tofu soup.
Ying's style is much simpler and rougher, and he directly uses the name of the main ingredient as the name of the dish: golden sea bream.
——I don’t know if the names of the dishes on her restaurant menu are so straightforward.
……
Cheng Youyou descaled a few fresh crucian carp, then poured oil into the pan, and fried the crucian carp until golden.
Chinese cooking has an advantage in terms of smell. Although frying, frying and other methods do not look so delicate, the smell can easily achieve an appetizing effect.
Of course, this targeting effect also varies from person to person.
To put it simply, in a country that is accustomed to the original taste of ingredients, if a chef uses heavy oil and salt torches to overcook the dishes, he will only get strange attention from others, and they will think that the chef’s approach has destroyed the ingredients. The molecular components in it completely deprive the nutrition of the ingredients themselves.
On her other side, Ying has a pink Hokkaido golden-eye sea bream on Ying's cooking board.
If it is said that crucian carp needs to be boiled with tofu to exude its own umami taste, then the meat of Hokkaido golden sea bream is very distinctive.
After being cut open, the meat inside looks like a light pink pearl. The rich fat layer makes the fish look almost transparent, and the delicate color of the fish becomes a visual pleasure just looking at it.
Ying cut the fish into small diamond-shaped pieces and placed them next to him. He turned on the fire-breathing gun used in the kitchen, and the high-temperature flames shot out from the muzzle, slightly curling the light-colored skin on the surface of the fish. The fish skin shrinks inward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the patterns on the scales become much smaller.
Eventually, the outer skin was overcooked by the flames, turning an orange-gold.
Ying's fish dish doesn't take too long, which is in line with the serving standards of Michelin restaurants. It is a small-scale operation, and it is presented to diners immediately after it is ready.
If the time required for each dish is too long, diners will have to wait for a long time. After their patience is exhausted, they will lose interest in tasting the best food that will be presented later.
When she was handling the fish, the crucian carp on Cheng Youyou's side was already cooked. She added water to the pot, then picked up the spoon to mash the fish, so that the taste of the cooked fish could be fully immersed in the soup, and slowly The soup boiled into a snow-white appearance, looking extremely delicious.
While the fish soup was cooking, she processed tofu, crab-flavored mushrooms, peas and fresh day lily in turn.
The stalks of the day lily are removed, and the tofu is pressed out into small flower-shaped pieces with a mold, which maintains the exquisiteness of the plate after the shape.
——If it weren't for Mitchell's own abundant resources, it would be difficult to prepare so many fresh Huaguo ingredients for her here.
After the fish soup is boiled, filter out all the residue of the fish meat, then add tofu, peas and day lily to the snow-white soup in turn, and continue to cook over high heat.
Cheng Youyou exhaled lightly, and looked at the unique, seasonal ingredients suitable for this season——
matsutake.
Fresh ingredients in summer, delicious and unique, are the key taste of this dish, and they are also ingredients that need to be handled separately.
