Chapter 170: The priceless bluefin tuna

The cuisine of any region in the world has its own uniqueness, Ye Chui was recognized as the world's god of food in his last life, although he specialized in Chinese cuisine, but still will not say that Chinese cuisine is the best in the world: whether the dishes are delicious or not, do not care about the cuisine, but care about the chef, this is a point that Ye Chui has always respected. ◇↓

Because of this reason, Ye Trai never minds asking famous chefs of other cuisines for advice, and Ye Trai has had a lot of exchanges with each other with the Japanese "God of Sushi".

In Ye Chui's previous life, the most authoritative way to evaluate the quality of a chef was the Michelin star rating.

The Michelin star rating is divided into three stars, the highest of which is three stars, and if it is judged by the Michelin judge for three stars, it means that the chef has made a dish that is worth the flight to taste.

This is the highest honor for a chef in the previous life, and in the previous life, Ye Chui was awarded the title of three Michelins, and he received this title at the age of twenty-seven, which was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records at the time as the youngest chef to receive the title of three Michelin.

At the same time, the Guinness Book of Records also lists the oldest chef to receive a three-star Michelin title, and that chef is the god of sushi in Japan.

The name of the Japanese god of sushi is Jiro Ono.

Ye Trai once went to Japan as a guest, and in his hands he saw the most extreme method of sushi.

After inviting Iijima Yan Hao to Hainan Chicken Rice as a guest at night with Zhang Huabin, Zhang Huabin left angrily with the lunch box, Dong Youyou looked at Zhang Huabin's appearance, and was naturally relieved, but at the same time looked at Ye Trai with some concern: "Ye Trai, are you good at it, will you make sushi?" ”

"Yes, Master, do you know how to make sushi?" Han Yuyan also looked at Ye Zhuo with a worried expression.

Ye Hang shrugged his shoulders: "What's so difficult, isn't it just rice balls and raw fish meat." With a little vinegar, who wouldn't make such a simple dish? ”

"Young man, sushi isn't that simple." The middle-aged man who spoke angrily before hurriedly said to Ye Chui at this time, "The chefs of many restaurants in this food street have planted this sushi, although I don't like this kind of thing very much, but the craftsmanship will definitely not be so simple." ”

"Hehe, sushi is not a Japanese food, we have similar food cooking methods in China, don't worry. I counted it in my heart. Ye Trai smiled and said to the middle-aged man, "At night, please come and have a look." ”

The man in the middle was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "It seems that you are very confident in yourself, well, I will definitely be there then, and I will bring my friends over to cheer you on." ”

"Thank you." Ye Chui smiled and nodded.

After the middle-aged man waited for a few diners to finish eating, he left the restaurant first, inside the restaurant. Ye Tau is also starting to prepare for making sushi.

"Master, are you really confident that you can defeat that Japanese chef?" Han Yuyan still looked at Ye Chui with some worry on his face, "I heard my grandfather say that Japanese sushi is simple. But it's not easy to make it delicious, it's about skills, not recipes, can Master really do it? ”

"You can trust me when it comes to cooking." Ye Chui said with confidence on his face. "But we'll have to prepare a little bit."

"What do you want to do, just say it, we will definitely help you." Dong Youyou said with a smile and patting his chest.

"Okay then."

Ye Chui nodded and thought about it seriously. began to issue tasks to a few people in the hotel: "Quiet, you stay in the hotel, the rice requirements for making sushi are very strict, so you have to be very serious about steaming rice, I will teach you how to do it later, and the rice will be taught to you in the afternoon, as for the heavy rain and Weiwei's ......"

"Master, what are you asking us to do?" Han Yuyan immediately asked with great interest.

Ye Trai laughed: "I want you to go shopping." ”

"Shopping?" Han Yuyan and Lin Wei were both stunned.

"That's right, you'd better visit all the malls in the neighborhood and buy me a bottle of any brand of vinegar you can see." Ye Trai explained that vinegar is a very important seasoning in sushi, and there was a special sushi vinegar for sale in the previous life, but sushi did not have so much influence in this life, so Ye Trai had to choose the most perfect vinegar to make sushi.

And hearing that Ye Chui's request was so simple, Han Yuyan and Lin Wei immediately nodded.

"What about me?" Dong Youyou asked next.

"I want you to buy me two ingredients, one is freshly unearthed ginger, and the other is wasabi." Ye Chui explained, "You should know enough about Hainan's vegetable markets to find the best tender ginger and wasabi. ”

"It's okay to say that the young ginger is good, I know a lot of farmers and businessmen, and I can get the best young ginger, but this wasabi ......" Dong Youyou asked a little strangely, "What is wasabi?" ”

"Wasabi is a plant that is mainly found in Japan, and its roots can be milled to make wasabi." Ye Tuo explained simply.

"It turns out to be mustard, can't you just buy mustard?" Dong Youyou immediately said curiously.

"No, that's not the same thing."

Ye Chui shook his head and said: "The mustard we usually eat is not the same thing as the mustard made of wasabi, the mustard we buy on weekdays is milled from mustard seeds, my country has been eating this mustard sauce since the Zhou Dynasty, the color is yellow, and the mustard ground from wasabi root is green, that is, green mustard, similar to yellow mustard, but the taste is more fragrant, I don't know if there is anything sold here in Hainan, Dong Youyou hopes you can try to inquire." ”

"Okay, no problem, wrap it around me." Dong Youyou immediately said with a confident face.

"And me, and me!" Seeing that Ye Chui gave everyone the tasks one by one, but there was no Wang Shiyu, so Wang Shiyu's child pulled Ye Chui's arm and said a little unpleasantly, "Brother, have you forgotten me?" ”

"Of course not." Ye Chui smiled and patted Wang Shiyu's child's little head, and continued, "Xiaoyu, the task you have to do is also very important, you wait a minute......

Saying this, Ye Chui hurriedly ran out, and after a while, he walked back with a few sugar canes more than a meter long.

"Brother, what are you buying sugar cane for?" Wang Shiyu's eyes immediately widened strangely.

"Your job is to peel sugar cane!" Ye Trai said with a smile.

"Huh?" Wang Shiyu was stunned for a moment. In fact, she likes to eat sugarcane very much, but because the sugarcane is too sweet, Ye Chui has never let her eat more, but now the task given to her by Ye Chui is to peel sugar cane?

Happiness came too fast......

"Don't think about it, peeling sugar cane is not for you to eat." Ye Chui stretched out his hand and looked at Wang Shiyu's forehead, "What I want is the skin of the sugarcane, don't eat more sugarcane inside, I will prepare a big meal in two days." ”

"Brother, what do you want sugarcane peels for?" Quiet with some strange inquiry.

"Sugarcane skins have a certain sweet flavor and are used to smoke and grill fish. It can make the fish taste more delicious. Ye Chui explained, he pointed to himself, "I'll go to the nearby seafood market later, the best fish for sushi is tuna, I want to choose the fish myself, okay, now let's get started!" ”

After Ye Chui left the Hainan chicken rice, he came to the nearest seafood market.

Tuna is a very valuable fish species, also known as tuna. There is also a place called tuna, or awinter fish, which is mainly divided into yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna. Albacore tuna, bigeye tuna, mosu tuna and several other categories.

Among them, the bluefin tuna is of the most valuable quality, and the leaves are in the last life. I've seen a bluefin tuna sell for a staggering 10 million RMB!

However, it has only been two years since fish was put back on the table because of the vegetarian movement. Far from the situation of fish resources shortage in the previous life, and even human understanding of the taste of tuna is not very detailed, so the types of tuna are not so clear, and the tuna sold in the seafood market is not divided into genera in detail, and several kinds of tuna are mixed together.

When Ye Chui found out about this situation, he also searched for precious bluefin tuna or bigeye tuna in the treasure, and found that most of these tuna were ordinary yellowfin tuna, or mixed with some albacore tuna or mosu tuna, and there were no precious bluefin tuna and bigeye tuna.

However, it is enough to make sushi with masu tuna, and the sushi god used it in the last life to make sushi.

"Little brother, the tuna tastes almost the same, and it's all fresh, you don't have to choose so carefully, it's not necessary." The fishmonger saw Ye Chui's careful selection, and reminded with a smile.

"Really?" Ye Chui's heart moved, it seems that the preciousness of tuna has not yet been recognized, he thought about it and said to the fishmonger, "Uncle, although the taste of tuna is similar, but I prefer to eat a kind of bluefin tuna, uncle in the future, if you get bluefin tuna here, can you call me directly?" ”

"Bluefin tuna?" The fishmonger thought about it and nodded, "This kind of fish is nothing special except for its size, two days ago I bought a bluefin tuna weighing nearly two hundred pounds here, originally I wanted to sell it whole, but no one was willing to take it over and it stinked directly." ”

Ye Hang: "......"

The two-hundred-pound bluefin tuna, which was worth at least hundreds of thousands in the previous life, was just stinky and thrown away here......

"Next time I encounter bluefin tuna, you contact me, and I'll buy them all." Ye Chui said with a heavy face - two hundred catties of bluefin tuna, according to the average price of tuna in this world, it is only a few thousand yuan at most, but the deliciousness of the bluefin tuna is definitely worth the price.

"Cheng, I'll contact you when the time comes." Uncle Fishmonger hurriedly agreed with a smile.

Later, according to his experience in his previous life, Ye Chui selected one of several tuna.

Because of the huge size of the tuna, the fishmongers generally do not ask to sell the whole tuna (the previous bluefin tuna was an exception), so Ye Chui deliberately chose a part of the fish's back close to the fish's head, and returned to the Hainan chicken rice with heavy fish.

Wang Shiyu's children have peeled a bunch of sugarcane skins, Ye Chui lit the stove in the kitchen, threw these carcane skins into the stove, and immediately rose billowing smoke, but these smoke is not choking, but there is an indescribable sweet fragrance, Ye Chui put the whole tuna on top of the sugarcane skin for smoking.

After about half an hour, the original bright red flesh has been stained with a layer of deep red, and by this time the tuna production has been temporarily completed.

Han Yuyan Lin Wei also returned to the hotel with a bunch of all kinds of vinegar, and Dong Youyou also called, she really found something like wasabi and was rushing back.

And at this time, the whole food street doesn't know whether it was Zhang Huabin's deliberate announcement or the middle-aged diner's reason, but many people knew that Ye Chui was going to invite Iijima Yan Hao to eat sushi, and at night, the small restaurant was directly crowded......

This made Han Yuyan and Lin Wei a little nervous.

Ye Hang is still very indifferent-

"Hehe, this Japanese restaurant wants to turn our four famous dishes of Hainan into its own sushi, then I will use their sushi to teach them a hard lesson!" (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
