Thanks to the iron blood, I can't win, Hezhou 1218, sool, IIking and other fishermen for their reward and support!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Qiantang spread this story, said that the cooking exchange group came to Qiantang to visit, with the master of the group after watching the cooking performance of the Qiantang chef, that the Qiantang famous dishes cooking method is extremely simple, a dish can come out in a few minutes, and the seasoning is also extremely simple, only oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar.

So this master chef also used the same ingredients, the same seasoning, and made a dish according to the original drawing, but the taste was very different. Let the proud and arrogant say that he has lost face.

Jiangbian is preparing to cook Qiantang famous dishes in the cooking competition, and one of the biggest obstacles is that Jiangbian has not tasted the most authentic Qiantang famous dishes, and he doesn't know what the authentic Qiantang famous dishes are. Although Liu Jiedong is also a good chef, he can't make authentic Qiantang famous dishes.

"Brother Yan, where can I eat authentic Qiantang famous dishes?" As soon as Jiangbian entered the fish restaurant, he asked.

"Yes! Naturally! However, only a few places have it, most of the others are not authentic, and many of the responsible cooking processes have been directly omitted, which looks similar, but in fact the flavor is very different. I know of a place where you can definitely eat authentic Qiantang famous dishes. Tianxiang Building! You will definitely be able to eat authentic Qiantang famous dishes there. Yan Yuan replied.

"Then let's go eat!" Jiangbe said.

"Is it a little late to go now? I'm going to compete tomorrow! Yan Yuan asked.

"It's not too late, it's not too late! The process of cooking, which I basically know, is to determine what the authentic taste looks like. Besides, no matter which place it is, you can't say that you are the authentic taste of Qiantang's famous dishes, right? Kawabe said.

"Okay, we'll go right away, and when it's time to eat, don't try to find a place. Private rooms must be booked in advance. But let's just find a spot! Yan Yuan said.

Tianxianglou, founded by Lu Lengnian in the autumn of 1927, was originally named Wulin Tianxianglou, named after the famous sentence of the Tang Dynasty poet Song Zhiwen "Guizi falls in the middle of the moon, and the heavenly fragrance clouds float outside". At that time, among the people of Hangzhou, there was a rumor among the people of Hangzhou that "Tianxianglou in the city, Lou outside the city", "If you want to eat, Tianxianglou; Tour West Lake, Six Wharves" and other sayings, its reputation is outstanding, which can be seen.

Tianxianglou is not very far from Yipin Fish Flavor Restaurant, and it took two people not long to rush to Tianxianglou. Tianxianglou is decorated with ancient charm and antique charm, and compared with the Yipin Fish Flavor Restaurant, it has become a street stall.

"Look at the decoration of people, this pomp! Gee! Compared to our fish restaurant, it is simply a heaven and an earth. Yan Yuan said to the riverside.

"We're different from them! We are following the mass line. If we decorate like this, will customers still dare to come to the door? Ebebe smiled.

"As long as the price remains the same, I will definitely dare to come to the door, but if the price does not rise, can I decorate like this?" Yan Yuan scratched his head.

The waiter from Tianxiang Building walked over, "Sir, how many of you are there?" ”

Yan Yuan said, "Two. Steamed anchovy and vinegar fish in West Lake, just these two dishes! ”

I didn't even look at the menu, so Yan Yuan directly ordered two signature dishes.

"Do you want anything else? Also, do you need any more drinks? The waiter asked again.

Yan Yuan shook his head, "Just these two dishes, well, some rice." ”

Since it was not yet the peak period of passenger flow at this time, there were not many guests in Tianxianglou, so it didn't take long for the two dishes ordered by Yan Yuan to be delivered.

After the food came up, the two of them didn't move their chopsticks, and after the waiter walked away, the riverside began to taste the food.

After studying with Liu Jiedong for a while, Jiangbian also has a little understanding of another skill that chefs need to master, that is, tasting food. Tasting food is not a simple matter, and it is not easy to taste the color, flavor and flavor of a dish. However, for Jiangbian, there is no need to master it so professionally.

However, in order to grasp the authentic flavor of these two famous dishes of Qiantang, Jiangbian still strictly follows the basic steps of tasting.

Jiangbian first rinsed his mouth with cold water, then took a small piece of fish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and slowly tasted the taste of the fish. Steamed anchovy is a soup dish, and the river side also takes a small sip of soup with a soup spoon to savor the flavor carefully. Every step of the river is done very carefully, every bite must be rinsed first, and the food tasted must not be choked, and then spit in the small plate.

Yan Yuan didn't move his chopsticks, and carefully watched the riverside by the side, carefully tasting these two famous dishes of Qiantang. At this time, the riverside has changed a lot from the riverside that Yan Yuan encountered a few months ago. Although the local accent is still relatively strong, it does not affect communication anymore, and it is more sophisticated.

As soon as Jiangbian put down his chopsticks, he immediately asked, "Jiangbian, how is it?" What does it taste like? ”

"Taste it yourself! Wait a minute, let's talk about the opinions together and see if it's the same! Kawabe said.

Yan Yuan took a clip of fish meat from the steamed anchovy and sent it to his mouth, chewed it a few times, choked into his stomach, and then immediately took a piece of fish meat from the West Lake vinegar fish, and ate it in a big gulp.

Then Yan Yuan put down the chopsticks and said, "This fish doesn't taste as good as the fish in our fish restaurant!" But that's it! Our fish restaurant can also make famous dishes in Qiantang, and it can also be said to be authentic famous dishes in Qiantang. As long as the taste is on point, who can deny that our famous dishes in Qiantang are not authentic? ”

In fact, although Yan Yuan said so, he still likes this taste, but he is engaged in catering, and he can't grow people's ambition and destroy his own prestige.

Hearing Yan Yuan say this, Jiangbian's eyes lit up: Yes! Who can say that what you make is necessarily authentic? As long as the taste beats others, no one can deny it. And there is no need to care about what the famous dishes of Qiantang taste are. It is impossible to have a fixed taste of Qiantang famous dishes, because different chefs, different cooking methods, and different ingredients will ultimately affect the taste of the dishes. As long as you make your own unique dishes, you will be able to gain people's recognition.

"Let's go!" Jiangbe said.

Yan Yuan was about to decorate his meal, and when he heard Jiangbian say this, he almost didn't drop the bowl on the ground, "What? I haven't eaten it yet! The signature dishes here are so expensive! It's a pity not to eat it. Why don't we eat and go back? ”

"Let's go, I'll make it for you to eat when I go back, anyway, this trip is not in vain. Finally made me understand a truth. Kawabe said.

"Otherwise, I'll pack these two dishes back. I didn't eat at all, it's a pity! Yan Yuan looked at the two dishes with some reluctance. Although for Yan Yuan, the price of these two dishes is nothing, but the money is spent, and it is always a pity that it has not moved at all.

Jiangbian looked at the two dishes, and didn't have any idea of eating, "Whatever you want!" ”

Hearing Jiangbian say this, Yan Yuan glanced at the two dishes that didn't move at all, and said with a smile, "Forget it, this time we will also have a luxury." But go back, you have to make a few copies of our first-class fish restaurant version of authentic Qiantang famous dishes. ”

The two people came in a hurry, ordered two dishes, but didn't taste them, and left in a hurry, which made the waiter very nervous, lest these two people were going to eat the overlord meal, and followed the two all the way, until they reached the service desk, and saw that the two people had settled the bill, and then they were relieved.

Jiangbian and Yan Yuan didn't notice the waiter who was watching closely, and when they got out of Tianxiang Building, the two of them got into Yan Yuan's car and immediately ran towards the Fish Flavor Restaurant.
