Chapter 311: Shark Fin
readx;
"Boss Lin, in my opinion, if this fish uses its fish meat to cook, it is definitely inferior, the meat is rough and dry, and there is a very heavy fishy smell in the meat, even if it is concocted, it can remove the fishy smell, it is not very suitable for frying and frying, not to mention steaming, with this kind of meat quality it cannot be steamed at all.

The strange fish was divided into several pieces by Yu Wuwu and placed on the board, although Yu Wuwu studied Western food, but the knife work was extremely good, this one-foot-two long strange fish was separated by him with a few knives, of course, according to the traditional way of decomposing fish meat.
"As for the fish head, this fish head is quite big, accounting for about half of the whole fish, comparable to a big-headed fish, but Boss Lin, you see, the other mouths occupy most of it, and they are all fish teeth, there is almost no fish meat, if you want to use the fish head to cook, it is also a great waste, I am afraid that many people have no appetite just by seeing this mouth."
The strange fish is indeed like this, it looks very strange, like a crocodile's mouth, to be honest, even if Yu Wuwu can make this fish head, Qiubai is not interested in trying, can he still chew his teeth? Qiubai doesn't have this kind of bad taste.
"The head of the fish is not good, and the flesh is not good, then only the fins and tails are left, and I will look at the fins."
Yu Wuwu said, went down with two knives, cut the two largest fins under the abdomen, took them in his hand and observed them carefully, and his face suddenly showed surprise: "Boss Lin, maybe there is a surprise, have you eaten shark fin?" ”
"I've eaten it." Qiubai replied that he had invited someone to eat it when he was working before, and he also tasted a few bites, and thought it tasted great, but it was too expensive, if it wasn't for a treat, Qiubai wouldn't have been okay to invite himself to eat shark fin.
"Shark fin is the filamentous cartilage of a shark's fin. Shark fin is made of shark fin cut into shreds and dried from the shark's chest, abdomen, tail and other places, but in recent years, there have been many places where shark fin is forbidden to eat, I look at these two fins, I think it is very similar to shark fin, it is commendable that it is very large, Boss Lin, or I give it a try? ”
"Make shark fin here? Okay. ”
"I don't have enough ingredients and I don't have that much time to concoct it, but it's just a taste, and it should be possible to do this." Yu Wuwu said confidently.
Since Yu Wuwu said so, Qiubai will naturally wait and see, if Yu Wuwu can make this kind of fish fin into the taste of shark fin, needless to say, this chef Qiubai will decide.
As the four major delicacies of China, shark fin has always been the specialty dish of the upper banquet, in ancient times, shark fin is an official dish, for food, only the dignitaries and the emperor can enjoy the food, in modern times, due to the wanton killing of sharks, the price of shark fin is getting higher and higher, but it is because of the wanton killing, so many environmental activists call on everyone to stop eating shark fin, although the effect is there, but it is not big, rich people who care about your ring is not environmentally friendly, Qiubai is not an environmental protection person, if there is a bowl of shark fin in front of you, Qiubai is definitely going to eat it, but then again, if the fins of the strange fish can make the taste of shark fin, then Qiubai will naturally choose this instead of shark shark fin.
Yu Wuwu spread out the two fins, cut them into thin shreds with a knife, this guy's knife work is quite good, the roots are cut quite evenly, and then use saltwater ginger slices to soak the fins in the water for ten minutes, and wait until they are fished out and take a look, the original black fin silk actually turned pale yellow, picked with chopsticks, the fin silk actually has a little bullet surname, Yu Wuwu said excitedly: "Although the material is not enough, but this fin is indeed a bit like cartilage, it seems that even if it is not as good as shark fin, the taste will not be bad, by the way, is there a papaya?" ”
"Where is the papaya, but the cucumber is there, do you want it?" Wang Cheng asked.
"Uh, forget it, fortunately, there are still crabs, Boss Lin, I'll pick a crab out."
"Aren't you fried crabs?"
"Well, if it's fried, it can be used, by the way, you can try the dishes, the crab will not taste good if it is cold."
Yu Wuwu's ginger and scallion baked crab looks very good, the crab was fried to golden brown, it was originally six put on a plate, he took one, anyway, it looks like a whole, in fact, Yu Wuwu divided the crab into two knives, put the ginger and shallots on the edge of the plate, there is still some juice at the bottom of the plate, because it has been put for a long time, so it is a little cold, but it can still smell the fragrance.
"Then one crab per person, try the taste, by the way, you can eat one too."
"Okay, then I'm welcome." Yu Wuwu didn't shirk it, he used to deal with the boss when he was a Western chef, but the more senior talents are, the less afraid they are of the boss.
The crab in this season is still quite fat, Qiubai picked up a crab and uncovered the crab shell, there is actually a fried golden crab roe below, because the crab roe is covered, the temperature has not been lost, so it smells particularly fragrant, Qiubai took a bite and sighed: "Yes, it's delicious, Ningning, what do you think." ”
Ning Ning has the best cooking skills, so Ning Ning also has the most right to speak, Ning Ning took a bite lightly, and then said: "I also think it's very good, this taste is stronger than the crab I've eaten before."
Many. ”
"In fact, steaming is the best way to cook the ingredients, but I prefer ginger and scallion baking, so if you like it." Yu Wuwu can be regarded as completely letting go.
There are only a few crabs, anyway, Qiubai ate them in a few bites, in fact, he didn't like to eat crabs, so he left the big tongs to Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng liked to eat the crab meat in the crab claws, and whispered to Qiubai while returning it: "Leave this guy behind, at least you can eat delicious crabs in the future." ”
Qiubai could only be speechless, the head chef is a management talent, how can he have so much time to cook crabs, he really despises this guy, and a few crabs conquered him.
Yu Wuwu spent another half an hour to make the fins of the strange fish, which was to dig a hole in the crab shell, and then put the fins in the crab and serve it, whirring and steaming, Qiubai leaned over to take a look, the thinly cut fin silk was a little transparent, and the bottom of the soup was crab roe, smelling fragrant, and the appearance was also excellent.
"That's what two fins are made?"
"Well, because there are so few, that's the only way to do it, which one of you is going to try it?"
"Then Ning Ning will come."
Ning Ning didn't give in, picked a little with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then frowned slightly: "It seems to be a little fishy." ”
Qiubai looked at Yu Wuwu, and Yu Wuwu hurriedly nodded: "Well, it's a little bit, but it's because the materials and time are not enough, so the fishy smell is not obvious." ”
"And how long do you estimate it will take to completely get rid of the fishy smell?"
"Three days, three days at most, the quality of this shark fin should be a little better than that of shark fins."
"Although it smells fishy, it tastes really good, and it shows the moisture and smoothness of shark fin, Qiubai, it seems that you are right to get the strange fish this time."
"Really like shark fins?"
"Well, it tastes similar." Ning Ning nodded affirmatively.
"That means that shark fin can be made in large quantities to serve customers in the future, so that our Repulse Bay will attract a large number of customers at the high-end table, after all, there is no rule not to kill this strange fish." Wang Cheng thought of such a benefit.
Qiu Bai smiled and didn't discuss it any further, but smiled at Yu Wuwu: "That's it, let's go out and talk about it again." ”
Qiu Bai walked out of the house and sat down on the bench in the courtyard, and after a while, he smiled and said: "I won't tell you, I am satisfied with you, but now we have a lot of things to do in Repulse Bay, especially the restaurant, because everything is new, so there are a lot of things, if you become the head chef, there are quite a lot of things that need to be done in the early stage, can you pick it up?" ”
"What needs to be done?" Yu Wu didn't guarantee that he could do it.
"If you are the head chef, the future chef is estimated to have you to come to the interview, we will make a reference on the side, another restaurant is newly opened, the equipment you need to use, you have to count the ingredients, I will tell you, for the time being, Repulse Bay will sell food in two places, the first place is this ground, this ground does not need a store address, just like the last time I invited the chef of Jiang Nanchun Hotel to come, because this is temporary, as for the second place is not, because it is underground, and the underground project will be the heavy weight of Repulse Bay in the futureThe main development direction of Repulse Bay is also underground, the number of tourists in Repulse Bay I will probably tell you, now there are about 150,000 or 60,000 people, after the underground project opens, this number will definitely rise sharply, and even break through one million people, do you have the confidence to supply nearly one million people to eat? ”
"Nearly a million?" Yu Wuwu's eyes widened.
Although I knew that Repulse Bay was very prosperous, but Yu Wuwu didn't expect it to be so popular, no wonder Qiubai originally said that he wanted to make a good meal, in the way of Western food, nearly a million tourists need at least 10,000 chefs, Repulse Bay is definitely impossible to recruit tens of thousands of chefs, the meal is much better, especially fast food or buffets, but thinking about nearly a million tourists, Yu Wuwu still feels a lot of pressure, which is equivalent to the need to manage the food problem of a small city every day, and Hilton will not receive more than 1,000 guests every day.
"Am I the head chef?"
"For the time being, it's just you, but I will definitely recruit more people in the future, and when you recruit people, you will be the head chef of Western cuisine, and then you will be equipped with a few sous chefs, how about it, are you confident?"
Yu Wuwu smiled bitterly: "I really don't have any confidence, after all, what you said is quite scary, there are millions of tourists, so how big does our restaurant need to be?" ”
"I can make you as big as you want." Qiu Bai said proudly, he has this confidence, if it is on the ground, of course Qiu Bai can't help it, but it is completely different underground.
"Can you let me go back and think about it?"
"Then you can live in Repulse Bay today, give you a tent to live in, and besides, if you think about it, then take over as soon as possible, because the underground works will be open in two to three days, and there will be a large influx of tourists at that time, so we need to prepare a lot of things."
"Okay, I'll get back to you tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Okay, Wang Cheng, take out that tent and give it to worry-free, he lives in Repulse Bay today."
After Yu Wuwu left, Wang Cheng asked: "You can't frighten him like this, there are still millions of people, fainting to death, I'm scared, okay." ”
"You think I'm scaring him? Tell you, as long as the underground project is opened, the number of tourists will only be more, not less, and with our underground project getting bigger and bigger, there will be more and more people, not to mention millions of people, tens of millions of people are possible, I won't go underground tonight, go to bed early, and then get up early tomorrow, do what you want to do, and strive to get it done in one or two days. ”
"What are you going to do, I don't feel any sense of urgency."
Qiubai was speechless, there was no sense of urgency, so he wrenched his finger and told Wang Cheng: "Tell you what you want to do, wait until the underground project is opened, tourists will come, you have to take care of food and accommodation, right?" Now the chef is not in place, and there are not a few stone houses, even if the chef is in place, where are the ingredients to go? Let's not talk about the millions of tourists, let's just say that the 150,000 or 60,000 tourists now, how much do they have to eat every day? Have you counted? Have you ever counted how many drinks and drinks you have to drink every day? We have to buy these back, let's have a headache just these things, in addition to the means of transportation for tourists, most of them have cars, so they can't be put in Longtan District, right? So I had to open up a big parking lot, and I think about it, my head is huge. ”
"What's so hard about this, which one do you say?"
"Okay, it's not difficult, then I'll give it to do something, and tomorrow I'll get back what hundreds of thousands of tourists need to consume every day, can you do this?"
Wang Cheng patted his chest: "Then leave it to me, see if I can do it properly for you tomorrow, and then blind your dog eyes." ”
"Okay, I'll just wait for you to blind my dog eyes, otherwise you just wait, Lao Tzu will let Xuanxuan break up with you."
"Uh, you're ruthless." (To be continued.) )
