Chapter 126: Fish Chest

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: "Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, avoid their sharp spirit, and attack their lazy return, and those who control their qi are also." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Tell me, what rules?" Yang Huairen asked.

Juntaro has a smile on his face, but how can this smile feel fake.

"The contemptible people very much admire the culinary culture of your country, and the culinary culture of our country of the rising sun is also inherited from the Central Plains."

Yang Huairen smiled and nodded in approval, and said in his heart You still know who your ancestors are, just admit it.

Juntaro Koinu continued: "Cooking, in fact, to put it bluntly, is four basics, namely material selection, knife work, seasoning and heat.

Contemptible people think that the cooks of your country seem to be only strong in seasoning and heat, as for the selection of materials and knife work, since the retirement of the Northern Chef King 'Thirteen Knives' more than ten years ago, no one is proficient in this way. ā€

Yang Huairen heard the agitation in Juntaro's words, and he said this because he knew that Yang Huairen had a novel seasoning in his hand that could make ordinary food delicious, so he deliberately said this, so that Yang Huairen himself gave up competing for the level of seasoning in the competition.

As for the legend of the king of the chef in the north and south, Yang Huairen didn't know how many stories he had heard from outsiders, but he didn't expect that even this would-be chef knew about it.

Nan Chef Wang is known as "the first fresh", the specific surname and age, no one knows, died of disease about ten years ago, according to legend, he is the best at cooking fish, in seasoning and heat mastery, has a very high attainment.

And the nickname of the North Kitchen King is "Thirteen Knives", and no one knows his real name, and the legend is that the knife is invincible in the world, also about ten years ago, for some reason, he retired to the rivers and lakes, and no one has seen him since.

Let Yang Huairen guess, maybe it is the two kitchen kings in the north and south who sympathize with each other, the king of the south kitchen died of illness, and the king of the north kitchen suddenly sighed that "the child is dead, and there is no more acquaintance", so he learned to break the piano, and the king of the north kitchen sealed the knife and chose to retire.

"Oh, that's right," Yang Huairen clapped his hands and laughed: "I'm not good at using knives, the knife work is very bad, I am ranked 999 in the Great Song Dynasty in terms of cooking skills, and in terms of knife work, I am afraid I have to rank more than 9,000." ā€

"That's not right, is it?"

De Yan Hachimaru said: "I heard that the cooking competition of the Yanlou that day, the knife work of the Yang officials is very good, I heard that the knives used by the officials are still special, and the shape is different from your ordinary Da Song kitchen knife." ā€

"That's right," Yang Huairen looked innocent, "It's because I can't do knife work, so I made a few strange-shaped knives, and I can't use ordinary knives."

I said, Taro, you don't want to compare your knife work with me, do you? You're taking advantage of that, hehe. ā€

Juntaro felt that his thoughts had been seen through by Yang Huairen, but for the sake of winning this cooking competition, he had to say it if he was shameless.

"I heard that Chef Yang is the best at making fish, and a dish of fish is now the most delicious food in the hearts of the people in the city, in order to show the sincerity of the contemptible, and for the sake of fairness, how about we try a piece of fish?"

Fish belly, popularly known as sashimi, or sashimi.

When it comes to sashimi, many people think that it is a world-famous specialty food in modern Japan, but they don't know that this way of eating it actually comes from China.

On the bronzes of the Zhou Dynasty unearthed in modern excavations, there are inscriptions that record that as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were records of eating sashimi in China.

Perhaps the reason for eating raw fish in the first place probably originated from the way when the ancestors of ancient times directly ate raw fish when there was no way to make fire.

With the progress of human civilization, there was a way to make fire anytime and anywhere, and the habit of eating both meat and fish directly was gradually changed.

Cooked animal protein allows humans to absorb nutrients better and easier, promotes the development and evolution of human intelligence, and also allows humans to have a stronger body to face the test of the vagaries of nature.

However, with the progress of human civilization, people later found that some fish, after cooking, did not have the original umami, but eaten raw, which is the most delicious way to eat.

Therefore, the dish of fish tartille was born, and it was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that the way of eating fish troll swept among aristocratic families, and by the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the development of fish troll in China reached its peak.

It was also during this period that the religious, economic and cultural exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and Dongying were also the most frequent, so the way of eating fish was introduced to the Wa Kingdom.

At that time, fish sauce was popular, and perhaps there was an important reason, at that time, the cooking method of fish was relatively simple, and then in the Song Dynasty, the popularity and popularization of oil cooking method made people eat more and more fish, and there were more and more ways to eat, so the way to eat fish was gradually reduced in China.

In the Wa Kingdom, Yuyu was loved by the high class and developed greatly.

For a Japanese cook, making fish is equivalent to basic skills, but Juntaro Koinu said that he chose this dish because Yang Huairen was good at making fish, which was really a big nonsense with big eyes open, and he was not afraid of flashing his tongue at all.

The so-called fairness does not exist at all. In the competition of fish belly, it was Juntaro Kointo who had the advantage.

Eating fish is the umami of fresh fish, so you don't need to add any seasonings, and it is the most delicious way to eat it by slicing it.

Of course, this is not so absolute, different fish, different meat quality, different umami.

Cold-water fish has less fishy smell and is more suitable for direct consumption, while hot water fish has a slightly fishy smell and needs to be eaten with vinegared rice or sauces to avoid the fishy smell affecting the taste.

Therefore, Yang Huairen's unique seasoning chili pepper is not used here.

If you cook the fish fillet in water and cook it with chili, the combination of chili and fish protein is also a rare delicacy, but the combination of sashimi and chili will stimulate the fishy smell of the sashimi, and when combined with the stimulating chili pepper, it is difficult to eat.

Yang Huairen said in his heart, it turns out that the puppy is such a calculation. You really think you can't win without Brother Chili, do you? It's just a joke, isn't it just a fish, there is still a treasure in the lotus pond in Ge Zhuangzi that hasn't been taken out.

"It's better than fish belly, no problem."

Juntaro thought that Yang Huairen would refuse, or make other requests, but he didn't expect him to agree directly without thinking about it.

He couldn't imagine that the stupid guy in front of him was the young kitchen god in the mouth of King Jia, this way of doing things could not be described as just being young and vigorous, it should be said to be extremely arrogant.

As long as it is made of fish tart, Yang Huairen's secret seasoning has no use, and the advantages of the Great Song chef's mastery of heat are generally not used in dishes such as sashimi.

As for the selection of materials and knife work, Juntaro Inu thinks that his strength is definitely not comparable to that of a young Song chef.
