Chapter 251: The Freshest Sweet and Sour Carp in the World!
|->!?β If I can't satisfy you, I won't be a chef in the future, what do you think? Ye Chui said with a smile, his tone was very indifferent when he spoke, and there was still a smile on his face, as if he didn't feel that what he said was so earth-shattering-he was blocking his life.
Lin Zhengdao and Lin Wei both showed shocked expressions, and Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Chen, the three Lin Zhengdao henchmen, looked at Ye Chui with incredible eyes: This young man is really crazy!
Zhang Hantao also had a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly reacted and sneered: "Don't be a chef from now on?" Hehe, Chef Ye is so confident, you must know that I bet with you that it is not a joke, you said that you will never be a chef again, and if you want to regret it in the future, it will be impossible for you to continue to mix in the chef industry! β
"Ye Shui, you don't have to do this." Lin Zhengdao also said in a deep voice.
"Uncle, this is my decision, I won't change my mind." Ye Trai smiled and said to Lin Zhengdao, "Besides, I am still very confident in my cooking skills. β
"This ......" Lin Zhengdao was a little helpless, even if he was confident in his cooking skills, but this time it was Zhang Hantao himself who was the judge, if he wanted to impress this mad dog? Lin Zhengdao didn't think there was anything possible.
"Ye Chui ......" Lin Wei also looked at Ye Chui with some concern.
Ye Chui smiled at her, his face full of confidence.
"Then that's the matter." Zhang Hantao smiled again, he took out a document from a document bag he carried with him, and put it on the table in front of him, "This is the project agreement I just signed with Deguang Company, and I just take it with me." If Chef Ye can really make a dish that satisfies me, then I will tear up this agreement on the spot! He looked at Ye Chui and laughed a few times, "Master Ye, I'm looking forward to the dishes you made." β
"Please wait a moment."
Ye Trai said and walked outside the box.
Lin Wei's little face was full of worry, she glared at Zhang Hantao with a girlish look, and followed Ye Chui and walked outside.
Several waiters in the kitchen were cleaning the ingredients according to Lin Wei's previous instructions, and when they saw Ye Chui coming over with Lin Wei, they greeted each other.
Ye put on a scarf and walked to the room on the kitchen side, where there was a simple water room. The restaurant has a lot of live fish used to cook in it, all kinds of fish, Ye Chui selected a live fish and took it out accurately and skillfully, Lin Wei has been following him in this process, the expression on his face is a little worried and a little nervous.
Ye Chui held the carp that was jumping alive in his hand, and noticed Lin Wei's demeanor, he smiled and comforted: "What kind of expression are you, don't you have confidence in my cooking skills until now?" βγ
"No, I have a lot of confidence in you...... But this time it was Zhang Hantao who wanted to eat. Even if he thinks your food is delicious, how can he admit it himself? Lin Wei said sullenly.
"I'll make him admit it."
Ye Chui came to the board with the fish, and picked up the kitchen knife with one hand.
Meng Gang and Huang Yong, two waiters, were scrubbing the kitchen utensils next to them when they saw Ye Chui wanting to kill fish. Immediately surrounded them with great interest, Ye Chui's action of killing fish was simply art, which made them full of amazement.
However, this time, when the two of them saw Ye Chui's big move, they suddenly became puzzled-
"Master Ye. Didn't you say that when you kill a fish, you have to knock the fish out first? But this time, why don't you stun the fish first? β
"That's right, this fish is jumping and jumping, it's very difficult to kill."
Ye Chui glanced at the two of them with a smile: "This time I want to cook." You don't need to stun the fish first. β
"Don't need it?" Both of them and Lin Wei were stunned.
Then I saw Ye Chui pressing the fish with one hand, and the kitchen knife in the other hand flew up and down, scraping the scales and removing the internal organs cleanly, and the whole fish was cleaned up in a blink of an eye, and the fish was still alive at this time.
Ye Chui wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said to the stunned Huang Yong, "Go and get a towel for me." β
"Oh, are you going to wipe your sweat?". Huang Yong hurriedly agreed.
"It's not." Ye Chu shook his head, but did not explain the use specifically, "By the way, help me with those ice cubes...... Meng Gang, you help me set up the oil pot. β
"Oh, yes."
Meng Gang and Huang Yong hurriedly did as Ye Chui requested.
Lin Wei thought of something: "Ye Chui, you want to make sweet and sour carp, I'll help you with the ingredients." β
Sweet and sour carp, the focus is naturally on the sweet and sour, sugar and vinegar are the two main points of this dish, after making it, let the dish be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, Ye Chui used to make sweet and sour fish for Lin Wei, so Lin Wei knows what ingredients need to be used, including sugar, vinegar, in addition to soy sauce, cooking wine, green onions, ginger, garlic, etc.
When Lin Wei found these ingredients, Huang Yong had already brought towels and ice cubes.
Ye Chui put the ice cube on the head of the carp and wrapped it in a towel, and the carp, which was still jumping non-stop, slowly stopped moving - it was the ice cube that played a paralyzing role.
Then, Ye Chui used the seasoning prepared by Lin Wei and began to mix the sweet and sour sauce that would be used.
The sweet and sour sauce had just been adjusted, and the oil pot on Meng Gang's side was already hot.
Ye Chui wrapped the fish head in a towel and dragged the whole fish into the oil pan for frying.
When the sweet and sour carp is done, it must be fried first, and then drizzled with sweet and sour sauce, but I have never seen a fish head wrapped in a cold towel like Ye Chui for frying, Lin Wei has seen Ye Chui make sweet and sour fish before, and she has never seen Ye Chui This practice, the other waiters in the kitchen were also attracted to it, and whispered, I don't know what the significance of Ye Chui's practice is.
After three minutes, the whole fish was fried and crispy, and Ye had someone bring a plate, put the fish on the plate, and then carry the roasted sweet and sour sauce on top - this is the end of the dish.
"How strange is this dish, the fish head is still completely raw, how can you eat it?"
"Lu Bing will also make sweet and sour fish, but it's not like this."
There was a lot of talk among the waiters.
The sweet and sour method is widely used in Chinese cuisine, similar to braised and fish-flavored cooking types. It's no secret that these types of dishes have reappeared in the public eye since the ban on meat was lifted.
Except for the fact that this dish is half-raw, there seems to be nothing special about it in other places......
Suddenly, Meng Gang noticed something, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Look at the head of this fish...... This...... How is this possible!? β
With Meng Gang's exclamation, many people looked at the fish head of this dish, so everyone showed an expression of disbelief at the same time, even Lin Wei couldn't help but open her small mouth: "How is this fish ...... This ......"
Ye Chu smiled faintly and didn't explain anything. With this dish in hand, he quickly walked upstairs.
One of the main points of this dish is to be fast, and it should be served as soon as the dish is finished!
The atmosphere in the box was a little cold, although there was no quarrel between Lin Zhengdao and Zhang Hantao, but this atmosphere was more terrifying than the quarrel.
It took less than ten minutes before and after Ye Chui to cook, and he reappeared in the box with this sweet and sour carp, which was very fast, Lin Zhengdao couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself, Is Ye Chui giving up on himself?
Xiao Zhang and the others looked at the plate in Ye Chui's hand even more nervously, not knowing how Ye Chui's dishes were cooking.
Ye Chui had a faint smile on his face. put the sweet and sour carp in front of Zhang Hantao, and he smiled and made a gesture to Zhang Hantao: "Boss Zhang, please try the taste of my sweet and sour fish." β
Zhang Hantao had been guessing what Ye Chui was going to do in the past few minutes, and if he was a normal person, he would definitely not think that he had a chance of winning at this time. Even a 10-star chef is not confident, right?
He thought that this Ye Chui was doing some trick, but he didn't expect Ye Chui to really make the dish......
What's in this dish?
Zhang Hantao shook his head, Lin Zhengdao wouldn't do that, that is, Ye Chui really wanted to make him satisfied with this dish?
"Hmph. Cast a mist before somebody's eyes! Zhang Hantao snorted coldly in his heart, his mouth is his own, and it is up to him to decide whether it tastes good or not. He wants to see how this kid is going to end!
Thinking of this, he picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
This sweet and sour carp suddenly looked red in color, soft and fragrant, and he only felt sweet and sour, slightly salty in the sour, Zhang Hantao's eyes moved slightly, he liked the dish of sweet and sour fish, and he had eaten it many times before, it was undeniable that the sweet and sour carp made by Ye Chui was the most delicious fish he had ever eaten, and this kid's cooking skills were indeed extraordinary, and it only took less than ten minutes to cook such a delicious ......
But that's all there is to it?
Zhang Hantao put down his chopsticks and looked at Ye Trai with a sneer: "I'm not satisfied with this dish." β
With Zhang Hantao's words, Lin Zhengdao's face moved slightly without a trace.
Xiao Zhang and the other three were still looking forward to Zhang Hantao before eating, and now they are all deflated balloons.
At the door of the box, Lin Wei and the waiters who followed up all had a dumbfounded expression - this expression was not because Zhang Hantao said that he was not satisfied, but because Ye Chui's dish surprised them so much, and they have not come back to their senses since this dish was made......
Ye Chui didn't care much about Zhang Hantao's reaction, but asked, "Can I ask you what you are not satisfied with?" βγ
"The taste of the dish is indeed good, but, Master Ye, do you remember the dish I ordered before?" Zhang Hantao said coldly, "What I want to eat is the freshest sweet and sour fish in the world, I am very satisfied with the taste of your sweet and sour fish, but when it comes to this freshness, I'm afraid it's a little worse, right?" β
"Mr. Zhang, what do you think is the freshest in the world?" Ye Chui continued to ask with a smile.
"The freshest? Live fish is, of course, the freshest in the world. Zhang Hantao said coldly.
"Yes."
Ye Chui pointed to the sweet and sour carp: "Then please Mr. Zhang, you take a closer look at the fish head of this dish first." β
Zhang Hantao snorted again, his eyes looked at the head of this sweet and sour fish, and then he suddenly said, "Ah! With a loud scream, he fell from his chair and fell to the ground, pointing at the fish on the table with his hand, and his voice was full of shock: "This fish ...... The fish is alive! β
ββThis dish is not an ordinary sweet and sour carp, but evolved from sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour live fish! (To be continued......)
ps: sweet and sour live fish...... Well, this dish is actually a bit cruel, but it's also breathtaking, is there ~~~
