Chapter 62: A Unique Taste
Zhou Yu walked into the back kitchen, only to see Li Guomin and his aunt Fang Huimin busy, in addition to Village Chief Yao and that Master Xu, there were other customers in the store.
"Xiaoyu, why did you come to the back kitchen, this is not a good place, hurry up and go out, don't get your clothes dirty." Seeing Zhou Yu walking in, Fang Huimin hurriedly said.
"Auntie, it's okay, I'm not afraid of getting dirty, uncle, what are you going to do for that gourmet. Zhou Yu waved his hand and smiled, then walked up to Li Guomin and asked curiously.
Li Guomin was also a little hesitant, "I also saw Village Chief Yao and that Master Xu at the door just now, I went to Lao Yu next door, my craftsmanship is not much better than Lao Yu, he has not been able to satisfy his gourmet, I guess I am enough." ”
"Uncle, it's okay, just pick what you are best at, I have a way to satisfy him. Zhou Yu had a mysterious smile on his face.
"My best thing is braised fish, but, Xiaoyu, how can you satisfy him. Li Guomin asked with some confusion.
Zhou Yu thought about it, took out the seasoning jar from his pocket, and handed it to Li Guomin, "This is a secret seasoning researched by a friend of mine, which can make dishes more delicious, I have tried it, and the taste has indeed improved a lot." ”
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to sprinkle some fairy powder in the process of Li Guomin's cooking, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was better to let Li Guomin, the chef, master the heat.
Li Guomin took the ordinary-looking spice jar with doubts, then poured some out of his hand, sniffed it with his nose, and showed surprise on his face, "This spice has a unique fragrance, and this aroma completely surpasses the ones I used before." ”
"Uncle, slow down, don't waste it, this seasoning is not just a spice, you will know it after you use it. Seeing Li Guomin pour some casually, Zhou Yu hurriedly said.
Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Li Guomin was a little curious, "Is there anything strange about this seasoning, by the way, is there anything particular about using it?" ”
"There's nothing particular about it, just put whatever seasoning you should put in, don't sprinkle too much when you use it, just just the right amount. Zhou Yu shook his head, and then instructed.
Li Guomin nodded, a little puzzled in his heart, "Okay, just look at this seasoning, what magic will there be, Xiaoyu, are you going to wait in the kitchen, or go out and wait." ”
"Hehe, of course I'm waiting in the kitchen, uncle, you can't just let others know about this seasoning. Zhou Yu smiled, he can take it out in front of Li Guomin now, it is with the intention of using this seasoning to help his uncle-in-law improve his business.
If the Xianwei Fruit Tree could only produce these ten cans of seasoning, he would naturally not do so, but now, he could produce it continuously, take out one can of each batch, dilute it, and definitely bring many loyal customers to Li Guomin's shop, as for the rest, they will have to sell to others.
"Don't worry, if this seasoning is really so magical, how can I talk to your aunt, okay, now I'm going to start making it, there is just a marinated small yellow croaker, which is very suitable for making braised fish." ”
Li Guomin nodded again, then took out the pickled small yellow croaker and began to make braised fish.
In the process of making zuò, Zhou Yu has been watching from the side, although the braised fish is just a home-cooked dish, but if you want to make it delicious, not anyone can do it.
He saw that when Li Guomin was making zuò, he alternately used strong fire, medium heat and slight heat, frying fish in the pot while cutting vegetables, which seemed to be at ease.
Finally, after the fish was fried, Li Guomin put all the condiments such as garlic, ginger and onions on the cutting board into the pot, and at the same time put in the seasoning, after putting it down, he picked up the seasoning jar next to him, hesitated, and then knocked a few times into the pot and spilled some.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile, it was natural for Li Guomin to hesitate, this was a seasoning he was not familiar with after all.
After all the seasonings were put out, Li Guomin added some cooking wine, aged vinegar and other things, and began to enter the final process of making zuò.
And in this final process, the pot began to slowly emit an enticing aroma, "This, this aroma, it's just appetizing, is this seasoning really so godly." Smelling this aroma, Li Guomin took a hard breath and said in disbelief.
Just now he poured out a little spice, smelled it, there was a unique fragrance, for its effect, doubtful, but now, the pot appeared in the tempting aroma that he had never seen when he made braised fish, but he was shocked.
"Haha, uncle, how can you do porcelain work without a diamond, this seasoning is so magical, it can perfectly blend ingredients and other seasonings. Zhou Yu said with a smile, the aroma of this fairy fruit powder on the braised fish is much stronger than scrambled eggs.
Li Guomin was a little incredulous, and reached out to pick up the spice jar next to him, he really didn't expect that the seasoning that Zhou Yu took out would have such an effect, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you still have this seasoning with your friend." ”
"The plants used to make this spice are not so easy to cultivate, so he only gave me a jar for the time being, try the effect first, and this qiē must be kept secret. ”
Zhou Yu shook his head, he could help his uncle improve some business, but he couldn't put all the fairy fruits in this small food stall, because with the ability of the shop, he couldn't digest it at all.
"Okay, okay, Huimin, today's matter must be kept secret. Li Guomin hurriedly said to Zhou Yu's aunt Fang Huimin.
"Don't worry, will I harm Xiaoyu. Fang Huimin looked at the dishes in the pot with surprise on her face, and nodded without hesitation.
Soon, the braised fish was finished, and Li Guomin poured the fish and soup on the plate, and this aroma was even stronger, making people can't help but want to taste it.
"Uncle, this can of seasoning hasn't been used much, there will be a chance in the future, send it to Village Chief Yao and them first, if they ask, don't talk about the seasoning. Seeing Li Guomin's index finger moving, Zhou Yu hurriedly said, being able to make a restaurant owner so unbearable, you can imagine the ability of Xianwei Fruit.
Li Guomin also gradually regained his composure and nodded, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, let's go, let's go out, you put away this seasoning first." Then, he handed the spice jar next to him to Zhou Yu.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu sighed with emotion, put it away carefully, and put the plate on the lid with Li Guomin and took it out.
"Village Chief Yao, my best braised fish is here. Li Guomin walked over confidently and put the plate on the table of the two village chiefs Yao.
Village Chief Yao said hello twice, but as for the gourmet, Master Xu, his face was calm, and he seemed to think that the food in this food stall would not make him moved.
When Li Guomin carefully took off the lid, a rich aroma that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly emanated from the plate.
Smelling this aroma, Village Chief Yao showed a different color on his face, "This, this braised fish is so fragrant." ”
At this time, Master Xu, who had a flat face before, could no longer maintain his composure after smelling the aroma, his complexion changed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the braised fish on the table.
This braised fish looks ordinary, nothing unusual, and cannot compare to the one made in a big hotel, but it exudes an attractive aroma that makes him puzzled in his heart, even if he is a person who has tasted countless delicacies, he can't help but want to taste it when he smells the aroma.
"Master Xu, let's try it first. Looking at the expression of the gourmand next to him, Village Chief Yao said with a happy face.
"Okay, try it first. Master Xu nodded, but he took out his chopsticks faster than Village Chief Yao and gently sandwiched a piece of fish meat on this small yellow croaker.
After putting this piece of fish meat in his mouth, he showed a look of surprise on his face, and then held back the curiosity in his heart and slowly tasted this piece of fish.
This is a braised fish made of small yellow meat, and he has eaten countless precious braised fish, but none of them can bring him such a wonderful feeling.
In particular, the aroma is refreshing, and the delicious taste of the fish makes you feel the freshness of the food.
At this moment, Master Xu didn't mean to comment at all, and once again used chopsticks to clip a piece of fish.
As for the village chief Yao next to him, he couldn't care about this matter anymore, and he himself was in full swing.
There were also Li Guomin and Zhou Yu next to them, watching Village Chief Yao and Master Xu eating fish one by one.
Zhou Yu scolded secretly in his heart, why is he so unhappy when he sees others eating.
It wasn't until the whole plate of fish was eaten clean, and even the greens on it were not left, that Chef Xu raised his head and said with amazement: "This braised small yellow croaker tastes like a must, and it is the most unique one I have ever tasted. ”
"The various seasonings in it seem to be completely integrated into the fish, as if this fish is so delicious, the heat and the color of the dish, there are some deficiencies, but this unique and wonderful taste is to completely cover up these shortcomings, so that after eating, there is only this taste, unforgettable taste. ”
"Who made this dish. Master Xu asked Zhou Yu and Li Guomin in front of him.
