Chapter 129: Li 4th Section (I)

The topic returns to the four-paragraph assessment.

The cooking method of the drum board dragon crab is very complicated, and in terms of the difficulty of operation and the taste of the finished product, the drum board dragon crab can already belong to the category of nine products.

Of course, Li Yu didn't plan to cook a perfect drum plate dragon crab today, this dish was before his rebirth, there was only one hotel in China that could serve the finished dish to the outside world, and this hotel was the Sanya Marriott Hotel on Qionghai Island.

The menu quotation of this drum board dragon crab at Sanya Marriott Hotel is 17,777 for a single course, and the perfect condition of the drum board dragon crab is not sold separately, but is included in the banquet called 'Dragon and Snake Fight', the whole banquet is eight dishes, limited to nine seats, and the price is 288,888.

Even if Li Yu cooked this dish before he was reborn, he was only four or five percent sure that he could make a perfect dish, let alone him now. To put it bluntly, the chef who can cook the perfect drum plate dragon crab has reached at least nine dans or more.

In addition, although the dragon crab prepared by the Shucheng Kitchen Association is fresh, the grade is far from top-notch, even with the blessing of a new kitchen knife, Li Yu's cooked dishes will not exceed seven grades at most.

However, after all, this is a four-stage assessment, and he only needs a five-grade dish to pass the test perfectly, so he doesn't have much pressure.

After selecting the ingredients, Li Yu went straight back to the stove, the front claws of the dragon crab were tightly tied with ropes, and Li Yu turned it over, with his abdomen facing up.

The dragon crab has a peculiar appearance, with a frog-shaped cephalothorax, a length greater than a width, and the front half is wider than the back half. The surface is raised, except for the frontal area and its vicinity, which are densely covered with scaly protrusions pointing forward—if the text is not clear, you can imagine the 'corpse cockroach' in your mind.

That's right, the prototype of the corpse cockroach is the dragon crab.

There is a trick in slaughtering the dragon crab, that is, to turn it over on the cutting board, and then it will be like a turtle with its teeth and claws but there is no way to turn over, at this time, as long as you seize the opportunity to use small pliers to 'click' twice, you can easily remove its two large claws, and you don't have to worry about being pinched at all.

Then it is to open the shell, the dragon crab is different from the ordinary crab, it does not have a belly cover, only there is a small piece of degenerated back cover at the tail, as we all know, the role of the crab belly cover is for spawning, the dragon crab does not have a belly cover, so where is its reproductive organs? The answer is the gills, that is, its respiratory and digestive organs.

So you're going to ask how the dragon crab snapped... Of course, it's a one-step to the stomach!

.......

I saw Li Yu slash quickly, and a few minutes later, the three live dragon crabs were dismembered into pieces of translucent flesh.

And Li Yu's series of operations were also recorded by the cameras on the sidelines and broadcast to the screen in front of the audience.

Among the major live broadcast platforms, the audience has swiped a series of '666'.

Marina Bay Sands Hotel, known as the national standard of Kapo Island, ranked 38th in the global five-star hotel ranking before Li Yu's rebirth, and even higher than the 43rd Huaxia Super Platinum Five-Star Hotel - Garden Hotel in Guangdong Province.

In this world, due to the scarcity of high-level chefs, the ranking of the Golden Sands Hotel is much higher than in the previous life.

As we all know, Kapo Island is surrounded by the sea and has a natural and excellent seaside tourism environment, and the most famous thing about Gapo Island is all kinds of top seafood intestines.

In the 2016 annual income statement of Kapo Island, the catering industry accounted for 21 percent, and a considerable part of the revenue was all kinds of seafood, and with the development of meat, the proportion of seafood industry is increasing.

The majority of the seafood industry is naturally ordinary seafood, but high-end deep-sea ingredients such as deep-sea fish and deep-sea crab also account for a large proportion.

The Sands Hotel, which aspires to become a high-end spokesperson, has a much higher pursuit of deep-sea ingredients than ordinary hotels, and even has a gimmick of an annual salary of 10 million yuan, intending to recruit top chefs who are familiar with deep-sea ingredients.

Today, after learning that Li Yu will be cooking tiger crab (another name for dragon crab), the executives of Jinsha Hotel gathered the senior chefs of the whole hotel to watch Li Yu's live broadcast.

Gapo Island has close contacts with China, and the mousse can almost be described as 'popular in the streets and alleys' abroad, so the three Wudan of the Sands Hotel are also well-known to Li Yu.

They are looking forward to what different live broadcast experience this Chinese 'miracle boy' can bring them.

Sure enough, Li Yu gave them a big surprise at the beginning, the angular and translucent dragon crab meat was exactly the crab killing technique they had been longing for!

In the Golden Sands Hotel, a European five-dan wearing a top hat pointed to the live broadcast screen, turned his head to another five-dan and asked: "Hey, Xu, (please make up your own English...) Why did this chef named Li Yu discard the crab shell of the dragon crab? There was a lot of crab paste in it. ”

Beside him, stood a five-dan chef with an Asian face.

His name is Xu Minghua, born in Qianqian Province, China, at the age of 47, he was promoted to the chef of the fifth section eight years ago, and is the holder of the age record of the fifth section chef in China, and was once known as the hope of the future of the Chinese chef industry.

Well, ever. Because now he is a native of the United States, a citizen of the United States who has a permanent green card and the legitimate rights and interests of the United States.

Hearing the question of the fifth paragraph of the high hat, Xu Minghua frowned and said, "I said, please call me Noble, which means noble status - N-O-B-L-E!"

The tall hat five-dan shrugged his shoulders, turned around again, and asked the other woman, "Jasmyn, what do you think?"

Yes, female quintals.

The female fifth dan is called Jasmyn, Finnish, is the only female fifth dan in the world, 54 years old this year, in her early years worked in a five-star hotel in Saudi Arabia, and was later poached by the Sands Hotel with a very high salary.

Jasmyn frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Eric, do you remember? It seems like four months ago? A customer said that the tiger crab we cooked had a strange smell, and our guess at the time was..."

"At the time, we guessed that the crab meat was contaminated with engine oil... You mean, that strange smell is because of the crab paste in the crab shell?"
