CH.33 Victory or Defeat
"Huaxia? that over-the-top surrounded by good food?no wonder, no wonder...... "The Frenchman muttered to himself, looking relieved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sister Wu looked at the Frenchman worriedly, and seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, her right hand gently touched Zheng Ke's clothes, and asked softly, "What does he mean?"
Zheng Ke translated Sister Wu's words to the French, who said, "Delicious." ”
Zheng Ke smiled wryly, "Sir, you better tell him how you feel in English." ”
The chef had been eyeing Zheng Ke, and even if he translated truthfully, he would have an excuse.
The Frenchman glanced at the chef, immediately understood what Zheng Ke meant, nodded, and gave a thumbs up to Sister Wu and the chef, "Food, good!delicious!"
Sister Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard these two words, no matter what, as long as the French do not complain, the impact on the "Western Bright Spot" is within a controllable range.
"Bang!"
The chef's eyes cracked, and his hands pressed on the table. The unsuspecting crowd was taken aback, all staring at the chef in confusion.
"I don't believe it, you two, you little devil, and you foreign devil, you two must be traditional ......"
"Master Narita ......"
Sister Wu looked at the chef with an embarrassed expression, a little resentful in her heart, finally the matter could be solved perfectly, but he inserted a lever into it.
"Don't call me master, I can't afford it. Narita sneered, and suddenly, there was a look of sudden realization on his face.
"I see, everything is your conspiracy. I said how strange it was, why all of a sudden there was a Frenchman who had an opinion about my cuisine, and you happened to know French. You talk a lot of nonsense, and then you take out the food you have made and let him eat it alone. The reason is just to get my chef's seat. ”
Narita's eyes widened and he yelled at Zheng Ke with excitement.
(Nani?Hey, uncle, it's really just a coincidence here, how can there be so many conspiracy theories.) )
Zheng Ke was taken aback by Narita's sudden move, knowing that no matter how much he explained, he would not believe it, and in this case, there was only one way to prove that the French were not lying.
He quickly returned to the kitchen and brought out another plate of salmon.
"I'm glad I made an extra plate, and if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself and see which one tastes better?"
"Taste it, am I still afraid of you?"
Narita took the plate from Zheng Ke's hand, and then picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks.
(No matter what the taste of this dish is, it must not be said to be delicious, it must be ...... )
"Eldest sister, can you eat a piece too?" Zheng Ke handed Sister Wu a pair of chopsticks.
Sister Wu didn't want to try it, because she was a customer on one side and a chef in the restaurant on the other, and no matter what the final result was, what she would lose would only be the "bright spots of the West".
Therefore, what he wants to do most is to calm this matter down as soon as possible.
If there is a dispute between the two sides, he also has an excuse to use "not knowing" to justify the "bright spot of the West".
But it was obvious that Zheng Ke did not intend to let Sister Wu stay out of the matter. And, as a store manager, his words are more reliable than others.
Sister Wu saw that Zheng Ke was staring at her, and knew that she had no way to shirk it, so she took the chopsticks.
The meat is moist and tender on the inside, and after it is eaten, it dissipates at a rapid rate and spreads to all corners of the mouth. The deliciousness of the fish, as well as the spicy pepper and the flavor of the salt, are completely submerged in the fish and follow the fish to all parts of the body.
The butter sauce is fragrant but not greasy, and when it stops at the taste buds, a faint sour taste unfolds in the taste buds, arousing people's appetite.
"The mellow and elastic fish and buttery sauce stimulate the taste buds...... The tongue is about to melt...... In addition, the strong impact between the crispy skin and the delicate flesh of the fish makes it difficult to extricate yourself. ”
Sister Wu forced herself to be calm, but under the impact of the extreme deliciousness, he still couldn't help but make a sound, and that kind of sound made him feel ashamed even when he heard it.
"The refreshing sour taste dissolved in the butter adds a strong hunger pang, and people can't help but want to stuff it in their mouths, what is this sour taste?" Narita looked at Zheng Ke impatiently, hoping that he could solve his doubts.
"Lemon. Zheng Ke said.
"Lemon?"
Narita then rang the lemon that Zheng Ke found in the vegetable basket.
"Sure enough, I said that there was something missing from the previous dish, and there was no lemon. And it's because of the lemon that this dish tastes so good, right?"
The French looked satisfied, and the food on their plates had been eaten.
"Yes, sir. Lemon is rich in citric acid, making it a great condiment, and the butter sauce is perfect for handling with fish. So I came up with the idea of adding lemon juice to it. At the same time, I thought that lemon is rich in aroma and can remove the fishy smell of fish.
"This piece of fish has been stored in the refrigerator for a period of time, and the taste is average, and lemon can make the meat tender, so it is time for me to fry the fish, add some lemon juice to the vegetable oil, and use the steam to send the lemon from the knife edge on the surface of the fish into the fish, so the fish meat is mixed with some lemon fragrance in addition to the normal taste, so that the fish becomes fresh and at the same time, it increases the fragrance of lemon. ”
"In order to achieve this effect, you used the method of frying fish on one side?"
"Sir, you even know that?"
Zheng Ke's eyes widened and he looked at the Frenchman in front of him in disbelief. This method was also inadvertently mentioned by Chapel at the end, and it was also the first time Zheng Ke used it.
"When I'm at home, I also like to cook some hometown cooking, so I know a little bit about some common cooking methods. The French had a smug look on their faces.
The common method mentioned here is actually "frying", which is a technique that uses a spatula to press down on the ingredients to evenly color the food. The frying that Zheng Ke uses here is a one-sided frying of fish, that is, only the side with the skin of the fish is fried. As a result, the skin of the fish will become crispy, while the flesh will be smooth and delicate. It can be used to make stale fish.
Narita couldn't understand Zheng Ke's conversation with the French, so he didn't know the method Zheng Ke used in this dish.
However, he knew that this kind of heartfelt happiness was far from something he could achieve. In order to get the flavor closer to the ingredients, the boy painted a knife cut on the surface of the fish, and cut off the belly of the fish to achieve a uniform texture. In order to target Zheng Ke, he deliberately gave him a piece of fish left over from the last purchase, but it tasted so delicious.
The cooking skills of the young man in front of him have surpassed him.
"Manager, this kind of cuisine is beyond my ability, maybe this is the essence of French cuisine, and I am still too weak compared to this teenager, please accept my resignation. ”
