On the silver plate, there are three distinct dishes.

"This one is pan-fried ice fish belly with charandel balsamic sauce. ”

Malos introduced the first course, and as he listened, Ed looked at the plate.

I saw that a layer of ceramics was attached to the middle of the silver plate, and on top of the white porcelain was the charred and fatty fish, which was dotted with herbs and black sauce, exuding an attractive fragrance.

Without stopping, Marlos moved on to the second course, a golden and crispy fish steak arranged in the shape of a whole fish, surrounded by a pale red sauce that outlined the shape of the waves.

"The second course, the deep-fried icefish steak with the Astel red wine sauce. ”

Fina swallowed and stared at the dish on the plate.

"As for the third course, it's the tomato soup with ice fish bones. ”

In the bowl, you can see the huge head and tail of the icefish, and together with the neat bones, they rise and fall in the crimson soup, exuding a fragrant aroma that makes your appetite move.

"Please taste. ”

At this time, Marlos is like the emperor at the table, dominating the senses of the diners, and he has this confidence, which is the pride brought to him by the name of genius.

Liliana cut a small piece of fried fish, dipped it in the balsamic sauce next to it, and put it in her mouth.

Her posture at this time was quite elegant, as if she was a noble lady, and Rosen watched her small bites, and it was hard to think that the mercenary who was eating and drinking in the Ultramarine Fortress was the same person as Liliana.

"Well, that's good. ”

Liliana didn't say anything more, instead picking up a fish steak, dipping it in the sauce and taking a bite of it.

Clicks–

The crispy fish steak collided violently with the teeth, bursting with an enviable sound.

"Well, that's good. ”

In the same way, Liliana wiped her mouth, spooned a bowl of fish soup, and took a sip.

The rich aroma diffuses, and it contains a special fragrance, which makes it difficult for everyone present to press it, only to see Liliana put down the bowl, she can't see how her mood is, only a long sigh of relief.

"Well, that's good. ”

Marlos's expression was a little unsightly, he had seen too many so-called gourmands who had tasted countless delicacies crying bitterly in front of their own dishes, eager to prostrate themselves at their feet and kiss his shoes, Marlos was used to the other party's praise of himself, so he was a little uncomfortable to see Liliana's indifferent expression.

"Just a good one, isn't it?"

Marlos asked.

"Well, it's really good, no matter which one of the three dishes has played a stable level, it is also quite creative, and the care and technique are enough to be called first-class. ”

Liliana said, causing Marlos's face to light up, and she was about to accept more compliments, but Liliana suddenly changed her words.

"But it's just good. ”

"What !?"

Marlos didn't expect Liliana to say this about his dish, and he felt unreasonable, so he asked.

"Tell me, what's wrong with my dish?"

Hearing Marlos's words, Liliana didn't react much, only looked around in confirmation, and then asked.

"Are you sure you want to say it in front of so many people?"

"You !!"

This is obviously looking down on Marlos, thinking that pointing out his shortcomings in front of so many people will make him lose face, but Malos thinks that the other party is just making trouble unreasonably, so he is quite angry.

"You say, I'm just here to listen!"

"That's what you asked for. ”

Liliana sighed, first holding her fork and pointing to the first pan-fried icefish belly.

"In this dish, you used rosemary as a condiment to enhance the flavor of the fish and enhance the taste level of the dish, and at the same time used chalandel balsamic sauce to make the whole dish look fresh and not greasy, which is quite creative, but you got it wrong in the most fundamental place. ”

"The most fundamental ...... What do you want to say?"

Malos vaguely thought of something, but still didn't give up.

"At the very beginning, you cut the meat of the ice fish with exquisite knife work, and the belly and back of the fish with different meat qualities were perfectly separated, which is very show-off, but it is a failure for your two dishes. ”

Liliana said, adding another fish steak.

"Ice fish has a fat belly and a tough and chewy back, which are two completely different textures, and if you can combine them into one dish, then they complement each other and promote each other, but if you put it in two dishes, the disadvantages of a single meat quality will be infinitely magnified, so you might as well taste it yourself. ”

Hand the steak to Marlos, Liliana said.

"You ......"

Marlos tried to retort, but Liliana's words did make him think, so he took the fork and bit down the steak.

It's delicious, it's crispy, but there's something missing.

"Without the fatty belly, the fried fish steak will look much more shriveled and crispy, but without the juicy feeling, and similarly, without the strong back of the fish, the fried fish will look soft and lose its taste. ”

In other words, Marlos's exquisite knife work actually dragged these two dishes back, but became a failure.

"As for this fish soup, it is made from pure fish bones and uses fresh herbs as a spice to give the soup a little bit of freshness, which is really a good idea, and if it were my first time eating this dish, I would have thought it was quite delicate. ”

Seeing that Marlos didn't mean to refute, or was speechless at all, Liliana began to comment on the last dish.

"It's just that I've seen too many of these techniques, and the herbs you use don't fit perfectly into the soup of the icefish, so it might be better if you don't grind it into pieces, but put it whole in it. ”

"I've seen too much...... Can this reason be valid!?"

Marlos was arrogant and had never been blamed for the first two dishes as his own technical mistakes, while the last one, Liliana, pointed straight at her own creativity, which was the worst accusation for a chef at a three-star restaurant.

"Of course, you probably haven't studied the menu of this restaurant. ”

Liliana picked up the menu from the next table, expertly flipped through one of the pages, and handed it to Marlos.

Marlos was skeptical, took the menu, and looked at the page, which happened to be the description of the soup.

——Ice fish bone soup with dill leaves, with the head and tail of ice bone fish as the main ingredients, stewed with dill leaves, rich and fresh, the chef recommends.

"Your so-called creativity is just the everyday life that others are already familiar with. ”

Liliana said sharply.

Inside the restaurant, there was silence.
