Chapter 100: This is the smell

On the shore of the lake, in the bamboo pavilion.

The aroma of fish spreads from here, and even people with anorexia will recover immediately. Fortunately, this is a bamboo forest and not a deep forest, otherwise it would have attracted three or two hungry birds and beasts.

It's just that the birds and beasts didn't attract them, but they lured out everyone's saliva.

"Haha, it looks like we're blessed today! Wu Lao rarely cooks, except for those big people in the center, how many people in the world have eaten the dishes he cooks? ”

"As long as Sister Yan is my grandfather's apprentice, won't I be able to eat it often?"

"No, I don't want to go around the kitchen all the time, and I don't want to be smoked into a yellow-faced woman. Besides, what does it taste like to eat what you make yourself? Food is only novel if someone else makes it. ”

The two beauties sat down in front of the desks, both patiently waiting for this mouth-watering delicacy. One of them is a gastronomic expert, and the other is a future female chef. What they all have in common is that they are experts in 'foodies', and sometimes they don't have to try it themselves, they just need to smell it to know whether it is the best or the worst.

Lu Yan held her pink cheek in her right hand, turned her head sideways to look at the young man and said, "Speaking of which, I look forward to him more." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect that a noble beauty like Sister Yan would also be captured by a man." Wu Zihan leaned over his pretty face, and his words were full of ridicule.

Lu Yan's face was slightly red, and her fingers tapped lightly on this Nizi's forehead, and she said angrily: "It's a death, I mean the dish is not a person." ”

Wu Zihan said unrelentingly: "Hehe, it's all the same." As the saying goes, 'To grasp a woman's reassurance, you must start with her stomach'. And Sister Yan, your stomach has been firmly grasped, is it just a sincere heart? ”

"Aren't you like that?" Lu Yan narrowed her eyes into a slit, she wasn't just being teased.

"Where?" Sure enough, when Wu Zihan heard this, he looked like a cat who had been stepped on his tail, and suddenly the two of them were covered with red glow.

Lu Yan showed such an expression, and when she still wanted to chase after the victory, the two old and one young over there had already brought their respective works. The two dishes are laid out on several cases: Wu Baiwei's is a pot of fish head soup full of fragrant flavor, while Ye Qi's is actually a plate of snow-white and flawless fish and meat?

"Does this stuff smell?" Everyone asked in confusion as they stared at the plate of fish.

Ye Qi knew that everyone would have this kind of reaction, but he pretended to be mysterious and said, "You will know when you taste it later." ”

Everyone was even more puzzled, this fish meat did not have any peculiarity at all on the surface, just pieces of white meat, as if they were fished out of boiling water directly.

Ye Qi didn't care how suspicious they were, as if he was deliberately losing their appetite, and tasted it after a bowl of fish head soup.

The entrance is full of fresh fish unique to the carp of the holy lake, but there is no fishy smell mixed in with it, and this method of removing the fish is indeed very homely.

Generally speaking, people will use cooking wine to remove the fish, but while removing the fishy smell, it also covers up some of the fish that are freshly fed. So what we often eat is not the original taste of the fish, but the taste of the seasoning.

Kong Yunqing took a bite of the fish head soup and followed the taste: "Hmm~ Brother Baiwei's trick is good for fishy preservation!" It's just"

"Just what?" Wu Baiwei still listened to his evaluation, and he was cut off so hard in the middle of the year, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Kong Yunqing sighed: "Hey~ I can't say it, I just don't think it's right." Maybe it's been a bad mouth lately. ”

What does this mean? Wu Baiwei was really confused. No matter how he says, he is also one of the top celebrity chefs in China, and the head chef specially designated by the central bosses. I didn't expect his Yunqing brother to be so picky, and even the fish soup he made could say 'but', which also hurt the old man's heart.

Wu Baiwei threw his eyes on the others again, as if he wanted to regain some self-confidence in their mouths.

Ye Qi noticed the inquiring gaze from the old man, put down the porcelain bowl and said: "Wu Lao's fish head soup is extremely beneficial in terms of thickening and heat, and what is even more rare is that it can remove the fishy without any ingredients and ingredients, this is really the first time I have seen it." ”

Ye Qi's tongue is extremely sensitive, even if he puts a grain of salt in a pot of clear soup, he can sing, not to mention the taste of the seasoning.

"Haha~ It's still Ye Xiaoyou's tongue." Wu Baiwei was relieved, thinking that young people are more knowledgeable!

Then he set his eyes on Wu Zihan and Lu Yan.

I saw Wu Zihan 'stumble' a few times and put the remaining fish head soup in the bowl into his stomach, and then said: "The soup made by grandpa tastes good, but it is slightly worse than Master Ye Qi." As she spoke, she also used her index finger and thumb to draw a length to show that the gap between the two was not very large.

Lu Yan nodded in agreement: "That's true, although I have only tasted that plate of fish-flavored shredded pork at the conference, but the overall feeling is that Ye Qi and Wu Lao are at least at the same level." ”

"Really?" Wu Baiwei looked at the two women, and finally fixed his eyes on Ye Qi, hoping to find an answer from him.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's just that it's incredible. If Ye Qi could only discern the flavors of time, then he could also understand that this young man was extremely talented. But to say that he is similar to him in terms of cooking skills, or even surpasses him, it has to make him wonder.

But Ye Qi was very calm, pointing to the plate of fish and meat, and said, "Elder Wu can taste my 'stepping on the snow to find freshness' and then make an evaluation." ”

Driven by curiosity, Wu Baiwei was the first to pick up a piece. Although the fish was ordinary and had no characteristics, he still did not hesitate to bite into it.

When he tasted the taste of fish, he suddenly felt every capillary blood on his body stretch out. The seemingly plain piece of fish meat has a lot of inside, and there are streams of delicious thick juice flowing between the tight meat. However, the thick sauce does not mask the taste of the fish itself, but sublimates the taste of the carp itself.

Wu Baiwei's eyes widened and said, "What's going on?" Why is there a thick soup in a whole piece of fish? ”

Seeing the old man's reaction, Ye Qi explained with a smile: "That's the mutton bone soup I specially boiled, and then let the soup flow into the capillaries of the meat pieces during the cooking process until it soaks the whole piece of fish. ”

"Lamb bone soup! This sheep and fish together is a 'fresh', and the fish meat is snow-white, no wonder it is called 'stepping on the snow to find fresh', this name is really not fake at all. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Baiwei's face was faintly suspicious: "However, how did Ye Xiaoyou dip the soup into the fish?" ”

"Well, of course, it's a secret."

In fact, to achieve this step, he must be assisted by the internal strength of medical skills, otherwise even his cooking skills at the level of the god of food will not be able to do it. Of course, he won't tell this secret anyway, after all, internal strength is still too mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.

Old man Kong Yunqing didn't have so many doubts, and several pieces of meat had already entered his stomach during the conversation between the two.

I saw him exclaim while eating: "This fish is really amazing!" That's what we want! ”
