Text Chapter 557 The Secret of Steamed Fish
Facing Chef Xia's questioning, Wang Xiaochuan's face was calm.
"Master Xia, I picked this fish directly from the water tank in the store, didn't you see it all just now?"
"This ...... This ......"
Chef Xia was speechless for a moment, he thought about it carefully, and found that what Wang Xiaochuan said was right, this sea bass was just a very ordinary sea bass that Wang Xiaochuan took out from the water tank in the store at the beginning of the competition just now, and there was nothing special, but in addition, he really couldn't think of any reason to explain Wang Xiaochuan's steamed sea bass, which could actually eat the taste of spiritual vegetables.
He couldn't believe that the problem that he had been thinking about for a long time, but had never been able to grasp the essentials, had really been overcome by Wang Xiaochuan, a layman in cooking! With only ordinary ingredients, he had really made a delicacy comparable to spiritual vegetables!
"Y-How the hell did you do that? This sea bass tastes so special, how can it be an ordinary sea bass?"
"The secret is here......"
Wang Xiaochuan walked to his steamer and took out a bag of things that looked like tea bags from the steamer.
Chef Xia stepped forward, snatched this thing from Wang Xiaochuan's hand, put it on the side of his nose and sniffed it, frowning: "This is traditional Chinese medicine?"
"To be exact, a small amount of ginseng, cordyceps, reishi, Polygonum multiflori, deer antler velvet and seahorse. Wang Xiaochuan explained with a smile, "These medicinal materials are one of the secrets of my steamed fish this time, to be precise, I actually used a special method to stimulate some special ingredients in these medicinal materials, so that my steamed fish also has the taste of spiritual vegetables." ”
"Medicinal herbs can make the dish have the taste of spiritual vegetables, this is impossible!" Chef Xia shook his head again and again: "I have thought of this idea before, but it is impossible to realize it at all, not to mention that it will not be able to make a taste similar to spiritual vegetables at all, just by putting the medicinal herbs and ingredients together, the ingredients will sneak into the taste of the medicinal herbs, and then the original taste of the ingredients will be completely concealed." ”
"Of course, it is not possible to put the medicinal materials and ingredients together directly, and the medicinal materials must be treated in a special way to achieve the effect just now. ”
"A special way?"
"That's right, you see......"
Wang Xiaochuan just wanted to explain, but Leng Buding was suddenly interrupted by Lin Qianyi: "Xiaochuan, wait a minute." ”
As she spoke, Lin Qianyi turned her head, clapped her hands at the onlookers around her, and said, "Okay, that's the end of today's competition, except for a few chefs and chefs, everyone else is hurrying to go their own way, and it's about to be the peak of the evening meal!"
Wang Xiaochuan didn't pay much attention to it just now, but Lin Qianyi thought of it, the method he said next to deal with medicinal materials and ingredients would definitely become the top secret of Tianmei Building in the future, so the fewer people who knew about this method, the better.
When the waiters heard this, they all showed regret on their faces.
Although the outcome of today's competition has obviously been revealed, Wang Xiaochuan, who can cook with ordinary ingredients comparable to spiritual vegetables, is undoubtedly the winner of this competition, but many people are full of curiosity about what method Wang Xiaochuan used to achieve this step.
However, now that the proprietress has spoken, the others have no choice but to do what they should do.
After only Chef Xia and a few other top chefs in the store were left at the scene, Lin Qianyi said to Wang Xiaochuan: "Xiaochuan, you can say it now, how did you do it?"
"The secret is this steamer......" Wang Xiaochuan said as he removed the steaming compartment on the top layer of the steamer, revealing the part with water underneath.
"This is ......"
Everyone was taken aback, and it turned out that on the inside of the bottom of this steamer, there was a strange figure that seemed to have just been engraved on it with a tool.
These chefs didn't recognize what this pattern was, but Lin Qianyi recognized a little bit and found that this pattern was actually a magic circle.
"Ogawa, is this a magic circle that you draw?"
Wang Xiaochuan nodded and said, "That's right, Sister Qianyi, this magic circle is actually a magic circle that extracts spiritual energy and then condenses spiritual energy. Just now, I put this packet of medicinal herbs in the water at the bottom layer, and when the water boils, the circle will start working. It was able to extract the aura from the medicinal herbs in the circle in a short period of time, and then refine it and condense it on the steamer on the upper layer, so that my steamed fish was contaminated with this layer of aura. ”
"Although it is only on the surface of this layer of aura, it is not as good as the real spiritual vegetable, but in a short period of time, my steamed fish will have a taste comparable to that of the spiritual vessel, of course, the duration of this effect will not be very long, after a long time, the aura on the surface of the steamed fish will disappear, I just urged you to eat the fish quickly, just to avoid the dissipation of the aura. ”
Lin Qianyi was amazed when she heard it, while Chef Xia and the others were confused, but they finally heard something, that is, Wang Xiaochuan was able to cook the dish just now, all of which relied on this steamer, or the patterns carved on this steamer.
Although they don't know much about the principles, this does not prevent them from admiring Wang Xiaochuan.
"Mr. Wang, I lost ......"
Chef Xia is also willing to gamble and lose, and is willing to bow to Wang Xiaochuan.
Although his fish head soup is also good, but it also uses spiritual vegetables to have the current taste, if there is no spiritual vegetables, his fish head soup alone tastes, it is impossible to compare with the taste of steamed fish that Wang Xiaochuan is making now. Therefore, in this competition, Chef Xia naturally lost completely.
After explaining the secret of his victory to everyone, Wang Xiaochuan said to Lin Qianyi: "Sister Qianyi, although my method still has many shortcomings, such as the need for a large number of medicinal materials for each dish, and the cost is expensive, I think that if we use this method as a selling point, many of the problems we were worried about before opening a branch can be solved, plus the brothers and sisters invited by Master Xia in the future, I think we can already consider opening a new branch." ”
Hearing this, Lin Qianyi did not nod immediately, but continued to mutter for a while.
In fact, regarding the new branch of Tianmei Building, Lin Qianyi has actually planned for a long time.
In fact, Lin Qianyi has already been optimistic about the address of the third branch of Tianmei Building, and has even sent people to the store to decorate the store. Her original plan was to take advantage of the increasingly famous east wind of Meilou today, and wanted to open Tianmeilou all over the province.
However, the limitation of the production of spiritual vegetables made her finally slow to make up her mind to put the third branch into operation.
Now with the new cooking method provided by Wang Xiaochuan, many of Lin Qianyi's previous scruples were suddenly completely solved.
