Chapter 148: Steamed Anchovy

On the other side, Yuan Wenguang had a playful smile on his face at the beginning, in his opinion, Jiangbian and Yan Yuan would definitely become a joke at the beginning, the wild Yangtze River anchovy was not so easy to get these years, and his own Yangtze River anchovy cost a lot of money to buy it from the fishermen.

He had heard Man Qing actually say that the Yangtze River anchovy was still alive, and Yuan Wenguang almost didn't laugh out loud. The Yangtze River anchovy died when it came out of the water, and the so-called Yangtze River anchovy of the other party was still able to jump around, and this fraud was too unlevel!

But soon, when Mei Hongfang claimed that the other party's Yangtze River anchovy was a real wild Yangtze River anchovy, Yuan Wenguang's face suddenly turned pale, if the other party's was really a live Yangtze River anchovy, then he had already lost a lot of money just because of this ingredient.

"How is this possible?" Yuan Wenguang couldn't hold it back.

Fei Qishui grabbed Yuan Wenguang and shook his head. Na Mei Hongfang is an authority in this regard, and he said yes, eighty percent will not be a problem.

Mei Hongfang was extremely excited about this discovery, and he has studied the fish of the Yangtze River all his life. Although the Yangtze River anchovy can now be artificially farmed, there are too many gaps between the taste of the farmed anchovy and the wild Yangtze anchovy.

Including those imported from abroad, the taste of the Yangtze River anchovy is also very different, and even not as good as the artificially farmed Yangtze anchovy.

"Can you tell me where you got this Yangtze anchovy from?" Mei Hongfang asked.

Jiangbian did not hide it, and told Mei Hongfang the location of the Yangtze River anchovy, but he didn't expect Mei Hongfang to have a certain understanding of that area.

"The place you mentioned, I also know that there used to be the most Yangtze River anchovy in that location, and fishermen liked to go to that place to catch Yangtze River anchovy the most, but in the past ten years, fishermen have not caught Yangtze River anchovy from there. If you can catch it, you are lucky. In addition, your secret recipe is really magical, it can feed the Yangtze River anchovy, and if you apply this secret recipe to the cultivation of the Yangtze River anchovy, it should be extremely valuable. Mei Hongfang said.

"I'm afraid this won't work, this secret recipe material is precious, it's not easy to find, it's okay to raise one or two, and a large number of breeding will definitely not work." Jiangbe said.

Mei Hongfang nodded, "That's a pity, I'm very interested in your fish farming skills, I don't know if I can communicate with you after the cooking competition." ”

Jiangbian shook his head, "Well, let's talk about it later." ”

Mei Hongfang was very disappointed, "Then so be it!" ”

Man Qing hurriedly said, "The ingredients on our side have been identified, and in the summer, you can also introduce Mr. Fei's ingredients to the audience." ”

Summer nodded, "On our side, Mr. Fei's Yangtze River anchovy is stored in ice in the conventional way, and the color is very bright, as for whether it is authentic Yangtze River anchovy, I want to consult our experts." Professor May, can you come and do an appraisal for us? ”

Mei Hongfang nodded and walked over slowly.

Just as he looked at the Yangtze River anchovy, Mei Hong shook his head affirmatively, "This is not a real wild Yangtze River anchovy, but the kind of free-range anchovy." If you compare stocked shadfish with wild shad, the difference is very clear. First of all, the scales of wild anchovy are more shiny. Another name for the anchovy is the scale fish, that is, it cherishes its scales very much, and when it is caught in a fishing net, it will not struggle like an ordinary fish, but will honestly stay in the fishing net and remain motionless, for fear of hurting the scales. In addition, wild anchovy have finer scales, which is very different from farmed anchovy. ”

"Impossible! I bought this anchovy from fishermen, and they had three or four boats fishing in the Qianjiang River for two or three days before they caught such an anchovy. Yuan Wenguang made a lot of money for this anchovy, but he didn't expect to be rejected all of a sudden.

Mei Hongfang ignored it, "I'm just saying my opinion, as for whether you adopt it or not, that's your business." In addition, I can also say some interesting things about the Qianjiang River. There are often some fishers by the Qianjiang River, and no matter when you go to see them, there will always be some fish in the bucket next to him, and many people spend a lot of money to buy wild fish from them. As for whether it was wild fish or not, I don't want to say more. You said you were sure it was a wild anchovy, but did you see how they caught it? ”

Yuan Wenguang naturally couldn't see the process of the fishermen catching the anchovy with his own eyes, but just thought that what he bought on the fishing boat should be authentic wild anchovies, otherwise he wouldn't have learned that the opponent's dish was steamed anchovy through the relationship, and he deliberately changed his own dish to the same, originally wanting to press the other party on the ingredients for a while.

Yuan Wenguang was speechless, although Mei Hongfang did not clearly point out that he might have been deceived by the fishermen, but whether he said it or not, everyone could understand it.

Fei Qishui comforted, "Wenguang, rest assured, the ingredients are only one aspect of cooking, although the ingredients we use are only farmed anchovies, but if we can surpass them in terms of flavor, then it is obvious who is superior and who is inferior." ”

Yuan Wenguang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yes, although we lost this game, it doesn't mean that we lost the whole game!" Uncle Fei, I'll leave everything to you! ”

At this time, Yuan Wenguang even changed his name for Fei Qishui. In the past, he called Fei Qishui "Master Fei".

"Don't worry, I'll do my best, I've made this steamed anchovy many times, and with my unique secret recipe, the taste will be greatly improved. Judging from the other party's situation, I don't think I have ever made steamed anchovies. Fei Qishui said.

Fei Qishui is not wrong at all, the river has never made steamed anchovies, and even the anchovies are known from the pictures. Not to mention cooking with anchovies.

However, before that, the river practiced steaming anchovies, and of course the fish used in the practice was not anchovy, but bream. Of course, the effect is also extremely limited, but I am familiar with the whole process of cooking. In this regard, the water does occupy a great advantage.

"Well, just now we looked at the preparation of the ingredients of the two contestants. Professor Mei taught us how to identify real Yangtze anchovy and farmed anchovy. I believe it is extremely useful for every audience. Although there are advantages and disadvantages of ingredients, different culinary skills will produce different results. A good chef is able to cook with even ordinary ingredients. Both players have performed well in the previous matches, and let's look forward to what they will bring to us in this one. Manqing said.

Due to the huge gap between the ingredients of the two contestants, which seriously affected the excitement of the game, Manqing's words deliberately weakened the impact of ingredients on the cooking results, and effectively eliminated some adverse effects.

At the beginning of the competition, Fei Qi Shui did not seem to be affected too much, he was not in a hurry to process the ingredients, and Fei Qi Shui was confident that he would make the best taste of this anchovy. In his opinion, it is not others who want to be defeated, but himself, as long as he can play his normal level, he will definitely be able to defeat the opponent.

Although he uses farmed anchovies, the other ingredients are very carefully prepared. Steamed anchovy needs spring bamboo shoots, but this season, it is naturally impossible to have spring bamboo shoots, and Fei Qi water has found his own carefully reserved spring bamboo shoots, although they have been stored for a relatively long time, but the flavor has not been greatly damaged.

In addition, Fei Qi Shui will also use his own unique secret recipe this time, this secret recipe is one of his family secret recipes, extremely precious, Fei Qi Shui has always won the competition with his own cooking skills in the competition, but this time, Fei Qi Shui decided to measure his trump card to ensure that the game is foolproof.

Jiangbian had long known that he could outperform the other party in terms of ingredients, so his mood was also not fluctuating, and since there were no suitable spring bamboo shoots, Jiangbian needed to fine-tune this steamed anchovy. The wild mushrooms in the space can add a lot of color to this steamed anchovy, and some seasonings can also replace the regular seasonings.

Yan Yuan is the most relaxed among the four people on the stage, he has little to do, and he is not too nervous The result, Jiangbian gave him too much magic, and this time he pressed the other party in terms of ingredients, where is there anything else Yan Yuan can worry about.

Two women sat in a corner of the studio, looking nervously at the stage. The two are Liu Huijun and Liu Dingxiang.

"Second sister, I didn't expect the little turtle king to be so promising, and he can be on TV, and I'm afraid that few of our county officials will be able to list TV stations!" Liu Dingxiang looked at the stage with blank eyes and said in a low voice.

This cooking competition is different from ordinary performing arts shows, and the audience does not need to be absolutely quiet, as long as it does not have a serious impact, there is no problem.

"Well, that's amazing!" Liu Huijun muttered.

"Second sister, when do you think we can be on TV?" Liu Dingxiang asked.

"If you're not shy, rush up now, yell and you're on TV!" Liu Huijun said with a smile.

"I don't!" Liu Dingxiang smiled shyly.

Liu Dingxiang said after a while, "Second sister, are we going to see them later?" ”

Liu Huijun was a little hesitant, "Let's take a look first, maybe they will be very busy!" ”

Liu Huijun's eyes have been staring at the riverside, and a serious man is absolutely irresistible to an innocent woman.

Egabe devotes all his attention to cooking, and every process is meticulous, and although this steamed anchovy may seem extremely simple, in fact, the simpler the process, the more difficult it is to cook.

For the average person, cooking is all about heating the ingredients until they are cooked, and then adding the appropriate condiments, and that's done. However, for chefs, heating to cooking is only a very basic process, and the biggest problem is how to integrate various flavors and flavors into the food during the cooking process of the ingredients, so as to make it one.
