Chapter 293: Stir-fried Water Snake Slice
"If only I had known you sooner. ”
Ou Zhaofeng said regretfully: "If I had met you earlier, my cooking skills would have been higher than now, and the chefs of the state banquet would have to do it!"
"Wow! You can say that kind of thing, and you are not ashamed!"
Long Kunbao smiled and walked over with a plate of dishes.
"Eh, that's true!"
Ou Zhaofeng hurriedly said: "A good master is easy to find, but a good diner is not easy to find! It is a chef's blessing to have a diner who really knows how to eat. If you had known him when you were young, I dare say you became famous at least five years earlier, believe it or not?"
"I still believe that. ”
Long Kunbao didn't deny it: "But it's not too late for me to know Anan now?"
"Huh, are you bullying my old man?" Ou Zhaofeng feigned anger.
"How dare I?"
Long Kunbao put down the dish and said with a smile: "Try my dish of fried water snake slices!"
"There's a snake to eat, make up for it!"
Ou Zhaofeng took the chopsticks and picked up a piece, but sent it to Xiaobai's mouth first.
Seeing that Xiaobai was eating sweetly, he smiled and picked up another slice and fed it: "It's delicious, right? ”
"Master Ou, I don't know and think this is your grandson!"
Long Kunbao likes to make jokes about Ou Zhaofeng.
"That's not good?"
Ou Zhaofeng lowered his head and teased Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, is it okay to be my grandson?"
Xiaobai looked at him with his mouth open, and suddenly turned around and hid in Feinan's arms, hugging his neck tightly and refusing to let go.
"Eh, this stinky boy, you're so smart!"
Ou Zhaofeng scolded with a smile.
"Of course, let me be. ”
Fei Nan made a joke, picked up a piece of water snake with chopsticks, looked at it, and asked, "This snake is fat enough! ”
Long Kunbao smiled and nodded: "The autumn wind rises, the three snakes are fat, it is the season when it is the most suitable to eat this dish, and there are no such fat snakes in other seasons." ”
Snake meat is a relatively common ingredient in Guangdong, especially the Shunde cuisine inherited by Long Kunbao, and there are various ways to eat snake meat, and this fried water snake slice is a famous dish in Shunde.
This dish has the most obvious feature of Shunde cuisine, which is the exquisite knife work.
The so-called water snake slice is to remove the bones and shave the meat of the water snake and cut it into meat slices, and its difficulty is naturally not as exaggerated as the pheasant roll, but it is not easy.
The water snake slice was patterned by Long Kunbao, and the depth of the pattern was just over half, which made the snake slice more flavorful, and did not destroy the fleshy texture in the snake slice, and still maintained elasticity.
Long Kunbao simply made a plating, and the snake pieces showed a spiral and curved shape according to the original appearance, with the green vegetables spread on both sides, like a little white dragon drilling around among the green clouds, very beautiful.
Fernan complimented, "This dish is so beautiful, it should be given a nice name." ”
"No matter how nice it sounds, it's just a hometown dish, and it's better to call it simpler. ”
Hearing Long Kunbao say this, Fei Nan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why are there no dishes made of snakes in the Manchu and Han banquets?"
"Quite simply, dishes with a risk of poisoning are unlikely to be in the palace," Au explains. ”
"I see. ”
Fei Nan suddenly realized: "It seems that the emperor still doesn't have a good mouth without me!"
Putting the snake slice in his mouth and chewing it carefully, Feinan savored the taste.
Snake meat is a bit similar to chicken, but it is more tender than chicken, and it has a unique sweetness and a different flavor.
Ou Zhaofeng teased Xiaobai with snake slices, wanting to feed him another bite.
But maybe it was his words just now that made Xiaobai unhappy, Xiaobai deliberately didn't look at him, buried his head under Feinan's chin, and closed his mouth and refused to open his mouth.
"The snake meat is snow-white in color, the vegetables are green and green, and it looks very good. After entering the mouth, the sweet lubrication of the snake meat and the fragrance of Caiyuan are blended together, which complements each other perfectly. ”
Fernan complimented.
Long Kunbao smiled and said, "You just say the problem!"
"Haha! Then I'll be straight to the point!"
Fei Nan put down his chopsticks: "Actually, it's still a matter of heat, after you marinated the snake meat, the water was not drained, and when you pulled the oil, it was out of the pot a few seconds early, causing the snake slices to be slightly soft and not crispy enough." A little more sesame oil, a little less pepper, and a little less salt......"
"Alright, alright! ”
Long Kunbao helplessly stopped him: "I don't have the confidence to cook anymore if you continue to talk about it." ”
"Nitpicking, pure nitpicking. Fernan said politely.
Long Kunbao smiled and said to Ou Zhaofeng, who was persevering and teasing Xiaobai, "Master Ou, it should be ten years." ”
"What?"
Ou Zhaofeng was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was talking about, waved his hand and said, "Mind you for a few years, hey! Anan, he refuses to eat! Is he choking?"
Fei Nan looked down and saw that Xiaobai was twisting his head from side to side, dodging the chopsticks that Ou Zhaofeng fed to his mouth, one old and one young, one feeding, one hiding, perseverance.
Helplessly patting Xiaobai's head, Fei Nan comforted, "Okay, okay, okay! He's joking with you! Don't be angry." ”
Seeing this, Ou Zhaofeng hurriedly handed the snake piece to Xiaobai's mouth again.
Xiaobai looked up at Feinan, and then reluctantly opened his mouth.
With his mouth open, Ou Zhaofeng fed the snake slice into Xiaobai's mouth, and watched him chirp and eat it, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to have completed a big thing, and he was spontaneously full of pride, and even a little radiant.
Looking at Feinan who was holding Xiaobai with envy, Ou Zhaofeng held back a sentence: "I really want to hug my grandson!"
Fei Nan pointed at Zhao Gangsheng, who came over and wanted to hold the snake slice with chopsticks: "You go to him!"
Ou Zhaofeng looked at Zhao Gangsheng thoughtfully.
was a little hairy by him, and the snake piece that Zhao Gangsheng picked up fell on the case.
Syllable!
Ou Zhaofeng patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, are you willing to soak my daughter?"
"Huh?"
Zhao Gangsheng was dumbfounded.
"If you are willing to marry my daughter, I will not only teach you all the cooking skills I have learned all my life, but when I am old, this restaurant will also be yours. ”
Omega has obviously made a bloody investment.
"Don't you, Master?"
Zhao Gangsheng said with a bitter face: "I have a sweetheart." ”
Fei Nan fanned the flames on the side: "Your sweetheart has been in Canada for more than a year, maybe he will get married a long time ago, and it is better for young people to be down-to-earth!"
"Wow, Brother Nan, are you hurting me?"
Zhao Gang was angry and ruined.
"Huh?"
Ou Zhaofeng's eyes widened: "Bubble my daughter and wronged you?"
"Master, that's not what I meant. ”
Zhao Gangsheng looked at Long Kunbao for help, and the latter pretended not to see it, and raised his hand: "Oh! ”
With that, he walked towards the steamer.
"Haha!"
Fei Nan laughed: "Don't be afraid, Master Ou is joking with you." ”
Ou Zhaofeng pursed his lips: "I dare to say that you really dare to believe it? With your virtue, you want to soak my daughter, and I still don't agree!"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Gangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, made an excuse and slipped out of the kitchen again.
Tasting and eating one after another, after eating a meal, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Ou Zhaofeng sent Fei Nan out of the restaurant and helped him stop a taxi.
"It's okay, you take it easy, you can win. ”
Feinan comforted him before getting into the car.
"I hope so!"
Ou Zhaofeng sighed, smiled and waved his hand at Xiaobai: "Goodbye! Xiaobai, if you want to eat delicious food in the future, come to Grandpa Ou's place!"
Xiaobai hiccuped and shook his hand at him perfunctorily, which made his face bloom.
The taxi drove to Central, and Feinan rubbed Xiaobai's round belly while thinking about the conversation between Fang Cai and Ou Zhaofeng.
During the chat just now, Ou Zhaofeng was full of anxiety in and out of his words, as if he was very unconfident in this competition.
Although his win or loss had little impact on Fernan's mission, Fernan still hoped that he would win.
Why don't you let Ah Ren go to the mainland and go to Guangzhou to find that Liao Jie, if you want to taste the complete Manchu and Han banquets, maybe you need that guy's cooperation!
