138 The Waterloo of the Hunan Banquet
In the private room of Jufengyuan, a stone pot tomato fish was passed up.
The bright red tomato soup is slightly boiling and bubbling in the stone pot, sprinkled with some green green onions, and the black fish fillets are thinly sliced and rolled up, and slightly floated out in the red soup, which is very tempting to look at, not to mention the rich aroma of the stone pot fish from the beginning.
The slightly sour aroma of the tomato soup caused people to subconsciously start swallowing saliva.
"Come on, come on, eat vegetables, the tomato fish I ordered today looks good. ”
The tomato fish is transferred to the side of the guest, and as the chopsticks fall into the pot, a piece of black fish fillet is scooped up.
"This black fish fillet is so tender, and this tomato soup is also very delicious. ”
"Really? Then I'll try it too. As he spoke, another fillet was fished out.
But after tasting a slice, the black fish fillet is no longer the protagonist, but the tomato soup has become the center of the discussion.
"This tomato soup is really delicious, sweet and sour, like the tomato egg noodles at the school gate when we go to school?"
"When we went to school, the egg noodles at the school gate were not as delicious as this soup. ”
"I have the impression that the egg noodles are the best, but after graduation, the store is closed. ”
"At that time, we were hungry early in the morning, and a bowl of hot tomato and egg noodles felt different. ”
"yes, how many years have we all graduated in a blink of an eye. ”
"Is it an old friend gathering, come, go one. ”
"Eh, waiter, you take this tomato soup and help me add some noodles to it and cook it. ”
Jufengyuan's stone pot tomato fish has become the most popular dish since its launch, and it is with the red jade tomato that the chef has created many new dishes.
For example, many people found that the ingredients of this dish seemed to have changed, and the flavor of the sauce began to become fresh, which was very different from the original sweet and greasy taste.
There is also a new small yellow croaker with tomato sauce, two or two large small yellow croaker is fried crispy, drizzled with thick tomato sauce, and the sweet and sour taste has conquered countless gluttonous taste buds.
"Has Jufengyuan changed its chef recently? There are a lot of new dishes, and the key is that they are all delicious. ”
"Yes, I didn't like sweet and sour tastes, but I didn't expect this chef to be so good, and everything in their tomato sauce is delicious. ”
For a time, Jufengyuan's tomato sauce dishes were in the limelight.
As a competitor of Xiangyan, the tomato sauce dishes here in Jufengyuan are booming, so naturally Xiangyan will be greatly affected here.
As a private chef, although the Hunan banquet is to cook Hunan cuisine, if the guest has a separate dish, as long as the kitchen confirms that there is no problem with the preparation of the ingredients, it can naturally be made separately.
No, today's Xiangyan kitchen received an order to make fish fillets with tomato sauce.
The tomato sauce fillet is not difficult, and the chef starts preparing it after receiving the order. Tender cod is the main ingredient of the dish and is quickly sliced and set aside.
Each chef has his own recipe, and when the chef of Xiangyan makes the ketchup, he adds half a portion of mashed potatoes along with the tomatoes.
Soon the rich tomato soup is out of the pan, and with the cod sliced in hot oil, a hot tomato fish is served to the guests' table.
"Why is this soup so thick, it's not refreshing at all. The guest tasted it and frowned slightly.
"yes, and what we want to eat is that sweet and sour ketchup, which is full of garlic flavor. ”
The customer's opinion was fed back to the kitchen as soon as possible, and the chef was slightly stunned when he looked at the returned tomato sauce.
In the past, no matter what they cooked, the guests all said that it was delicious, why did they encounter Waterloo on this tomato fish.
"Xiao Xiao, you go and ask the guests what this tomato fish does not suit their taste, and how you want to improve it. ”
Xiangyan's chef's surname is Wei, and Xiao Xiao is his apprentice.
"Master, the guest said that this tomato sauce is too sticky and not refreshing enough, and they want to eat tomato fish with a sweet and sour taste. ”
"Sweet and sour taste, that is the taste of this gang?" Hunan Banquet represents the taste of Hunan cuisine, and the representative of this cuisine naturally reminds Chef Wei of the local old restaurant Jufeng Lou.
"Yes, and they also said..."Xiao Xiao was obviously a little hesitant.
"Don't ramble, what else did they say?"
They also said that the tomato fish was still delicious made by Jufengyuan. ”
Chef Wei frowned when he heard this, he knew very well what the virtues of his guests were, and the people who could come here to eat were either rich or expensive, but he also liked to watch the excitement.
When they liked the dishes they cooked, they were all themselves, and the natural one who was stepped on was the Jufeng Garden, but they didn't expect that now the feng shui is taking turns, and they will also be trampled on one day.
"Help the guest return this tomato fish, I won't add dishes tonight, all according to the menu, Xiao Xiao, you go and inform Manager Xu, and ask him to send someone to Jufengyuan to buy a tomato fish for me." ”
Xu Yang was also very surprised when he received the news from the back kitchen, Chef Wei was very confident in his cooking skills, except for going to his opponent to taste the dishes during the trial operation, he had never taken the initiative to inquire about the opponent's dishes like now, what happened today?
Xiangyan's kitchen was still in full swing, Xu Yang, Chef Wei and Xiao Xiao looked at the two tomato fish in front of them with serious faces, one was bought by Jufenglou, and the other was produced by Xiangyan himself.
"Manager Xu, you are a local, you are the most qualified to speak, you come and try it first. ”
Xu Yang understood the cause and effect of the matter in the process of buying tomato fish, and in the past few days, the tomato fish in Jufenglou can be said to be in the limelight.
"These two tomato fish are completely two tastes, the tomato fish in Jufenglou is sweet and sour, the aroma of the tomato juice is the focus of this dish, and the garlic flavor of the tomato fish we produce and the tender taste of the cod are the main ones, and the taste of the tomato juice in it is not prominent. ”
"Then Manager Xu, you said that according to the taste of the people of Tongcheng, which one is more delicious. ”
"Tongcheng people have a sweet taste. Xu Yang didn't say it too clearly, but Chef Wei knew as soon as he heard it, why his tomato fish had lost.
The market of Hunan cuisine in Tongcheng is very large, but no matter who has a taste from small to large, and the tomato fish of Jufenglou wins here.
Of course, this was just Chef Wei's speculation, and when he tasted the other party's tomato sauce fish, he knew that he had lost.
"This tomato sauce has a rich flavor, and it still retains the aroma of tomatoes in the sweet and sour taste, not like it is made of tomato juice, but like it is fried with fresh tomatoes. And the flavor of the tomato fish sauce I made overshadowed the umami of the cod, so I lost the competition. ”
Fresh tomatoes? Xu Yang listened to Chef Wei's words and thought for a moment.
