Although there are still two months left in the World Culinary Association competition, it is indeed important to pay attention to it.

Qiao Zhi occasionally develops some new dishes in the back kitchen.

It is not only a preparation for the competition, but also a supplement to the canteen's food library.

Everyone has their own ideals.

Some people want to be glamorous stars, some want to be world-famous scientists, and some want to be doctors who save lives.

Qiao Zhi's dream is to be a cook that everyone praises.

It's a small ideal, but it takes a lot of effort.

Knife work and spoon skills are not practiced overnight, but through years of tempering.

Of course, more important is the need for talent and love.

Talent lies in the sense of taste, in the use of knives, in the sensitivity of fire.

Before you cook a dish, you can imagine what the finished product will taste like. In the process of cooking, a flash of inspiration is added to create a masterpiece that will amaze the four seats.

It's not something that everyone can do, it takes savvy and talent.

For example, the sensitivity of taste and smell, and the control of sauces.

A good chef does not follow a recipe to make food, but based on his own experience and intuition.

Intuition is a kind of mysterious realm, and the slightest mistake is a thousand miles.

One point more, or one point less, there is a big difference.

Qiao Zhi's talent is that he can grasp it to the point of being extremely subtle in this close distance.

The layering and explosion point of the food are all controlled by a grain of salt, a grain of sugar, and a drop of oil.

The love for cooking lies in the cultivation of childhood.

Cooking is considered by many people to be a very ordinary skill.

But Qiao Zhi sees it as the way of life.

It is a joy of life to study the color and aroma of food and observe the ups and downs brought by food.

Food can heal the physical wounds of the human body, and it can also heal the scars of the human psyche.

The way of cooking is also the way of heart.

It's complicated, but it's a simple summary.

After Qiao Zhi liked others to taste the food he cooked, he praised it from the bottom of his heart, "It's so delicious!"

In today's impetuous society, it is too difficult to hear a word from others.

Food is a way to directly touch the kindness of others.

Qiao Zhi is a warm person, so his food can also bring a warm and comfortable feeling to others.

Seeing that Qiao Zhi was busy for almost half an hour, he finally made the finished product.

Qiao Zhi said with a smile: "This dish is newly developed, called 'One Belt and One Golden Road'. You try the taste. ”

It sounds like a nouveau riche, but it's actually fried hairtail.

However, the body of the fish is fried to a golden brown and crispy, which is indeed very different from the color of a normal chef's fried.

Shen Xian took a piece of tasting with chopsticks.

When you bite into the lower mouth, you can hear the crispy "rustle" of your teeth touching the skin of the hairtail.

Then the warm juice will fill the mouth.

It's hard to imagine that such a crispy hairtail can have the effect of bursting juice.

"How do you deal with the hairtail?" Shen Xian couldn't help but ask.

"Usually the hairtail fish is dried. But instead of drying it, I baked it over high heat. ”

"In this way, you can lock in the moisture with the gravy of the fish?"

Sure enough, it's a chef, and it's all right.

Qiao Zhi nodded, "For this dish, you must choose live East China Sea hairtail fish and feed it with honey for thirty-six hours. ”

Shen Xian's eyes widened, "No wonder I can taste the aroma of honey from the fish." Why make it so complicated, in fact, it can be marinated and seasoned

method, you can also achieve the same taste. ”

Qiao Zhi tried a bite of the hairtail and smiled: "You analyze it." I'm preparing for the World Culinary Exchange Congress. ”

Shen Xian touched his chin and pondered for a long time.

He asked weakly in a low voice, "Deliberately make the ingredients show a sense of luxury?"

Qiao Zhi gave Shen Xian a thumbs up.

"Isn't the whole dish getting more classy?"

Shen Xian said: "Then you can understand." The international arena is not only about culinary skills, but also about creativity and the choice of ingredients. In fact, the large hairtail fish in the East China Sea is raised in seawater with a little honey for three days, but the grade is obviously different. ”

Qiao Zhi laughed, "You're telling the truth. However, the ingredients do have to be exquisite. I'm experimenting with whether to feed honey water or orange juice to make live hairtail fish from the East China Sea, which tastes better. ”

"Then you hurry up, I'll help you taste it. Shen Xian said with some excitement.

He is a skilled chef and a person who has a passion for food.

Qiao Zhi's "Belt and Road of Gold" really made Shen Xian's appetite lift.

Good food is a temptation for all.

Qiao Zhi picked out the hairtail that had been fed orange juice and began to process it.

Shen Xian observed the details of Qiao Zhi's handling of the hairtail, and couldn't help but secretly praise.

The skin and inner membrane of the hairtail fish are the source of the fishy smell.

These two parts are scraped off and need to be cleaned with a knife edge.

At the same time, Qiao Zhi left behind a silvery substance that adhered to the surface of the hairtail.

The silver film has another name called silver grease.

It is a natural, odorless, high-quality fat.

The nutritional value is very high.

Hairtail fish live underwater, and this layer of silver grease is used by hairtail fish to maintain body temperature and resist cold.

Silver lipid contains unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin.

On the one hand, it has a significant effect on lowering cholesterol.

On the other hand, it can also play the role of black hair and skin.

In about ten minutes, Qiao Zhi made the orange juice version of "A Belt and Road to Gold".

Shen Xian couldn't wait to eat a piece, and his small eyes seemed to get bigger.

"It tastes really good. ”

Compared with the honey version of the Golden Road, it has a more sour and salty taste.

The sourness hides the saltiness of the hairtail well.

Bite into the crispy crust to reveal the white and tender flesh inside.

The sour taste has a slight sweetness.

What's even more amazing is that you don't have to worry about fish bones hurting.

Qiao Zhi had already picked out the fish bones, and after frying them until they were crispy, they built a mountain of fish bones.

Shen Xian put the fish bone in his mouth, and there was a crunch sound.

The faint smell of salt and pepper came out of his nostrils, and he was surprised that fish bones were no worse than fish meat.

When you bite into it, the fish bone marrow in the middle seems to smell like orange juice.

With the natural aroma of fish and the crispy texture, it brings a second level of taste impact.

"The taste is stunning. Shen Xian did not hesitate to praise, "No wonder it is said that only food can not be disappointed." ”

"How does it taste compared to the honey version?"

Qiao Zhi secretly thought that Shen Xian had eaten half of it in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but ask.

"Each has its own merits. I prefer the orange juice version. But it is estimated that foreigners will like the honey version. Because foreigners will think that honey is more advanced. ”

Shen Xian also understands the psychology of customers.

"Well, then listen to you. ”

Qiao Zhi pondered a dish for several days.

Being highly recognized by Shen Xian is still happy in my heart.

Shen Xian was also very impressed by Qiao Zhi's creativity.

“

A belt of gold", with hairtail fish as the main material, is not corresponding to the "Belt and Road".

If it is brought to the international stage, it can bring a good influence.

Being a chef is not only about taste, but also about the occasion.

What kind of banquet and what type of dishes are used are very particular.

Birthday banquet with longevity peach, longevity noodles.

The sweet soup used for the wedding banquet has a meaning and is rich in connotation.

This is the biggest difference between Chinese food and Western food.

Western food pays more attention to raw materials, and the name of the dish is also based on the raw materials.

Chinese food, on the other hand, is packaged into a name with depth based on the ingredients.

Some of this is redundant, and on many occasions it will be the finishing touch.

By Qiao Zhi's side, you can often learn a lot.

I also admire him more and more.

The ability to make seemingly simple fried hairtail fish into a whole pattern is the uniqueness of Qiao Zhi.

The difference between a master and an ordinary person lies in the flickering of a thought.

Shen Xian used to cook dishes step by step.

But under the infection of Qiao Zhi, he has gradually tried to innovate.

Innovation is not a novelty, but a reasonable sublimation based on respect for food.

There are a lot of unconventional foods on the market now, such as eating wild animals, which is not really cooking.

Our ancestors have already cultivated or domesticated edible vegetables and animals, so why should we eat those ingredients that are not very tasty?

"I have a question that I've always been curious about. Shen Xian asked.

"Oh, what's the problem?" said Qiao Zhi.

"How did you learn your cooking? Don't tell me you're self-taught. I don't believe it. Shen Xian said.

Qiao Zhi is now twenty-four years old, but he has decades of cooking skills.

He is also a top student majoring in management at Joan King University.

Where did he get the time to devote himself to studying the art of cooking?

Not only Shen Xian is curious, but many people will think that Qiao Zhi is a monster.

"Have you ever seen the crossing?" Qiao Zhi said deliberately.

"You mean, you crossed over?" Shen Xian said with wide eyes and incredulity.

He trembled as if he had seen a prehistoric monster.

This seems to explain why Qiao Zhi was able to create such a special Internet celebrity canteen in such a short period of time.

"Haha, you really believe it. Qiao Zhi paused and smiled, "I just had a special experience. ”

Qiao Zhi is not a traverser, but also a reborn.

A inheritor, to be exact.

Chinese culture has been able to continue civilization for thousands of years, and has experienced both glory and trough.

National cohesion has always been extinguished, and the most important thing is cultural inheritance.

"Oh!"

Shen Xian thought about it and didn't continue to ask.

Qiao Zhi has a secret on him, and since it is a secret, he can't tell it widely.

"The next time you try the dishes, please keep calling me, follow you, I can learn a lot. ”

Shen Xian changed the topic and said sincerely.

"I should say that we learn from each other. I am inspired by your professional comments. ”

Qiao Zhi said with a smile.

Immediately, he glanced at the two plates, and the "Golden Road" was eaten completely.

The disc is the highest compliment for any chef.

If someone else did this, Qiao Zhi would feel that he was deliberately pleasing himself.

Shen Xian's character is honest and honest.

His reaction was definitely a real reaction from the heart.
