CH.42 Tasting begins

A dish can be used to verify a chef's cooking skills from many places, whether from knife skills or from heat.

Zheng Ke wants to make this dish, and every step must be extra careful.

Put the minced pork into a bowl, add salt and wine, then add chopped shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots, stir together, and stuff the mixed ingredients into the fish belly along the incision under the gills.

Fu Xiuyun pulled Cheng Huaizhi and said in a low voice, "How is it?"

"With your eyes, it should be more accurate than me, right?" Cheng Huaizhi muttered in a low voice.

"Huh...... Looking at what you said, I just saw that he had indeed entered the 'realm', and his knife work and skills were still very good. However, after all, he is making Su cuisine, and you have more say in comparison. Fu Xiuyun said in a low voice.

"It's very good, if it continues at this level, this dish should be of a very high standard. It's a lot stronger than the-blue, and I don't know if it's the effect of this training. Cheng Huaizhi explained.

"It may also be a bonus from the 'realm'. Fu Xiuyun said.

"I can't say for sure, I can only judge it after tasting it. Cheng Huaizhi shook his head.

Although he and Zheng Ke have participated in the-blue before, he has never eaten Zheng Ke's dishes, and this is also his first time to taste it, and he has some expectations in his heart.

It's just that this dish is not simple, from the beginning of the carp processing to the final plate and serving, Zheng Ke's cooking skills are being investigated all the time.

The heat of the oil escaped from the pot, and Zheng Ke picked up the carp and gently put it in the pot. Under the action of hot oil, the two sides of the carp were quickly fried to yellow, Zheng Ke added Shao wine, soy sauce, refined salt, ginger slices and other seasonings to the pot, and finally added water, covered the pot and boiled.

After doing all this, Zheng Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after waiting for a little time or twenty, he could collect the juice and start the pot.

And at this moment, a rich fragrance wafted into Zheng Ke's nose, which made Zheng Ke immediately feel energetic. He hurriedly looked in the direction where the fragrance came from, Xiao Han's dish was already nearing the end.

Xiao Han turned down the heat of the wok and continued to heat it to make the juice gradually thicken.

"(Fire Lean)?" Zheng Ke was slightly stunned.

It is a cooking technique that uses low heat to slowly mature the processed ingredients.

Just now, Zheng Ke's attention was on his own dishes, and he didn't care about Xiao Han's cooking. Only now did he notice that Xiao Han was actually cooking the ingredients with (fire).

The soup in the pot is not much, so the test time is not too long, and after about 10 minutes, the delicious taste of the carp has already entered Zheng Ke's nostrils.

It smells so good......

Zheng Ke's saliva almost flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and his consciousness was almost blurred.

The taste is so fragrant, it's really unbearable.

No, hold on.

Zheng Ke took a deep breath and tried to control his will and transfer it to his own dishes.

When the lid is opened, the smell of fragrant fragrance wafts out and rushes towards you.

Zheng Ke immediately added lard dropwise, and then adjusted it to a strong fire, and the thick juice was gradually absorbed by the fish.

"Whew...... My dish is ready. Zheng Ke hurriedly shouted and put the cooked carp into the pot.

At the same time, Xiao Han also put the dishes on the plate.

"Mine is also done. Xiao Han said calmly.

Zheng Ke turned his head and glanced at Xiao Han, it was no different from usual, only there was a little sweat on his forehead, but it was not obvious. It is not difficult to see that Xiao Han is just trying his luck.

"Ask both of you to put the dishes on the long table in the middle. Fu Xiuyun pointed to the long table behind Zheng Ke and Xiao Han and said.

This table is usually full of ingredients, but at this time, it is cleaned up, freeing up a large empty space.

Zheng Ke and Xiao Han put their respective dishes on the long table, and each took out a pair of chopsticks.

"Next, let's start tasting Xiao Zheng's dishes first, how about it?" Fu Xiuyun asked Zheng Ke.

"No problem, I'm very confident in this dish. Zheng Ke patted his chest and said.

"You won't know until you taste it. Hang Ziqi on the side had a cold voice, and there was some unhappiness in his tone.

I didn't mess with her, did I?

Zheng Ke looked helpless, and he didn't know what he had done to make Hang Ziqi unhappy.

"Don't worry about her...... She's just a little jealous, so don't take it personally. Cheng Huaizhi squeezed Hang Ziqi's head and explained.

"I'm jealous of him, what's better than me?" said Hang Ziqi, pointing at Zheng Ke.

"Quiet. If you don't want to eat, go out. Fu Xiuyun's voice suddenly became serious, so that before even Zheng Ke could react, he had already said it.

This Fu Xiuyun ...... To be stricter than it usually seems.

Speaking of which, between Zheng Ke and Fu Xiuyun, they only said a few words, and the intersection was not deep, but Fu Xiuyun never refused his request. thought that he and Cheng Huaizhi were the same kind of people, but Zheng Ke seemed to be wrong.

However, if it weren't for this kind of character, I'm afraid it would be difficult to suppress these talented juniors and juniors.

Hang Ziqi bit her lip and lowered her head.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward, and Zheng Ke didn't know what to say, but felt that he seemed to be a superfluous person.

"Okay, the two delicacies in front of me are about to cool. If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all. Cheng Huaizhi shook his chopsticks and made a tasting motion, and Hang Ziqi, who had a negative look just now, immediately picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

After chewing carefully, the delicious fish meat gradually spread out in her mouth.

Her left hand touched her cheek, feeling it hot and threatening to burn at any moment.

It's delicious!

Hang Ziqi almost screamed.

As a chef, it is the most basic ability to make a reasonable appraisal of food. However, after Hang Ziqi ate this dish, she completely forgot about her evaluation.

The combination of various ingredients makes the whole dish burst out with amazing charm, and Zheng Ke is like a painter, holding the brush in his hand, putting these ingredients into a perfect pattern, which is pleasing to the eye and dizzying.

The delicate meat of the fish, chewed carefully, gradually melts in the mouth, and its delicious taste, along with the rich juice, flows in the mouth, and quickly occupies the taste buds for a long time. The minced pork, diced shiitake mushrooms, and diced bamboo shoots contained in the belly of the fish are boiled with various spices, and the flavor also penetrates into the fish, making the umami of the fish more intense.

The flavor of these three ingredients is equally delicious, and when mixed with sake, soy sauce, ginger slices, and other ingredients, it produces an amazing umami.

The taste of this dish is really beyond her imagination.

Unconsciously, Hang Ziqi's forehead was covered with sweat.
