Peony fish fillet, the origin is no longer examinable, but it seems that it should be one of the legendary dishes in Sichuan cuisine, of course, among other cuisines, there are similar, for example, in home cooking, made of peony petals and herring, regardless of the shape, just considering the taste, this is also considered a peony fish fillet.

But Zhao Xin made this one, it is a standard peony fish fillet, fried fish fillet, under the chef's skillful knife work and collocation, it has completely become a vivid peony, only the peony is really national, and the capital moves when the flowers bloom, this sentence is placed here, it is not an exaggeration.

Fukang is also down, Concubine Miao has seen the world, she is so surprised, it is not difficult to see the impact of this dish.

Among the 4 dishes, if you look at the taste, stewed flying dragon and boiling water cabbage have their own merits, and even boiling water cabbage even has the benefit of turning decay into magic, but after thinking about it again and again, Zhao Xin still thinks that the peony fish fillet is listed as the first.

Now it seems that this effect is not generally good, but it is too good, and Princess Fukang's eyes even showed a fascinated expression, obviously, she was completely attracted.

This dish, in the 21st century, is considered a state guest level, not to mention in the Northern Song Dynasty in the 11th century, the Northern Song Dynasty said that there was already stir-frying, but it was only a prototype of the state, and many things about stir-frying had not yet been developed.

Under the premise that stir-frying is a secret skill, some chefs who have mastered stir-frying a little can become masters and be chefs in Fanlou's place in a grand manner.

What kind of place is Fanlou, it is the most high-end hotel in the Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention compared with Diaoyutai, at least, it is also Quanjude, Lao Mo's grade.

Under the premise of self-cherishment, stir-fry has become a secret that has not been passed on, and it has been lost, not to mention, in the professional field, research and development.

To be able to guarantee the taste, a little to ensure the shape, is already good, what color and flavor have this kind of later level requirements.

Peony fish fillet, the first requirement is the shape, can not be said, completely achieve the thickness of the petals of the real peony, under the degree of magnification, always have to coordinate, similar to this dish, almost the thickness of the peony of the sea bowl, then the thickness of the fish fillet has reached a very high degree.

The key is that one-time molding, how to choose the fish fillet, what shape, the size and shape of the fried peony, to perfectly compose a peony, which requires strong knife work, as well as countless attempts to finally combine.

In fact, this dish took a lot of effort, for this dish, some of the most talented chefs of the Dinghai Navy, under Zhao Xin's suggestion, and then carried out a full three months of tackling key problems, only then did they have a certain foundation, and then brought forth the new, and after summarizing, it was a relatively stable production of this dish, just like that, there is still a certain failure rate.

No, for this dish, at least seven professional masters were mobilized, and the most perfect peony was selected and brought up, even Zhao Xin was satisfied, not to mention Concubine Miao, they didn't even dare to move, such a perfect, beautiful work of art, who could bear to destroy it.

This is a dish, very beautiful, but it still has to be eaten, it was Zhao Xin who first sandwiched a petal and sent it to Concubine Miao's plate, and said: "Mother, you taste it, this taste is very delicious, it's not good when it's cold!" ”

"Can you really eat it, it's so beautiful?" In Princess Fukang's eyes, little stars have begun to emerge, Zhao Xin looked at her with a smile, and took the opportunity to clip one for her.

Princess Fukang is not as reserved as Concubine Miao, she is still a child, and after getting Zhao Xin's consent, she directly picked it up and ate it.

In this Sichuan cuisine, the representative of non-spicy, although the taste is a simple frying method, the degree of frying of the fish fillet, plus some pickling process, makes the whole taste very different, and has a huge impact on the taste buds.

Food, taste is the key, if it is just the pursuit of knife work, the magic of knife work and modeling, beautiful as a handicraft, but the final taste is not good, such as a dish, carved for three or four days, all stink, then a bit of the cart before the horse.

Concubine Miao and Princess Fukang applauded after eating, which also made Zhao Xin very satisfied, and the painstaking arrangement finally had an effect, at least, they would be very satisfied, whether it was the taste or the appearance.

Next, the two platters are excessive, this is also the serving method of the Dinghai full table, after a big dish, in short, two excessive, but even if it is excessive, it is also to take into account the color and flavor, and take into account the taste of the two, and eat very happy.

The follow-up three major dishes, namely boiling water cabbage, stewed flying dragon, and roasted whole sheep, among them, boiling water cabbage, has been unanimously recognized, turning decay into magic, it looks simple boiling water cabbage, but in fact, the taste of it is more turned, it is really hidden in the bland, and the taste is relatively light, and Miao Fei also ate a few more bites.

12 dishes, each of which is not much, will be removed when it is served, and the small table can be set up, Zhao Xin has served Concubine Miao and Princess Fukang almost all the time, so he didn't eat much.

When he was about to finish, an inner waiter hurriedly walked in, whispered something in Zhao Xin's ear, Zhao Xin's eyes lit up, and said: "Mother, I am very lucky, there is a dish that was just delivered, you have to eat it while it is fresh, or wait!" ”

Concubine Miao frowned, in the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, there is really nothing new to say, for the emperor, although he does not get tired of eating, but it is too fresh, or seasonal dishes, which are rarely served.

It's not that there is no such ability, for example, in a year, there may only be one or two days to eat, if it is really supplied to the emperor, what the emperor asks, every day, then what to do.

The emperor is reasonable, and it is good to say that if he encounters an unreasonable person, then the internal supervisors, no matter how many heads they have, it is not enough to cut off.

"If it's too much trouble, then don't worry about it, I've eaten pretty much too!"

"It's okay, it came up soon, and there aren't many, it's more refreshing!" Zhao Xin said with enthusiasm.

The smart Concubine Miao just frowned, but did not express it, obviously, this kind of material is quite rare, and it can be regarded as a filial piety, let's talk about it when I have the opportunity to go back.

Soon, several palace maids brought up three plates, very simple plates, with celadon general lines, very plain, in the center of the plate, there was the last dish of the day, which was also what Zhao Xin said, a rare dish.

It seems to be some kind of meat, cut into neat thin slices, which, at first glance, are weak and almost transparent.

Zhao Xin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece, and then dipped it lightly on the soy sauce next to the plate, handed it to Concubine Miao, and said, "Mother, try it!" ”

Although Concubine Miao was a little unaccustomed to eating raw like this, she was unwilling to sweep Zhao Xin's face, carefully picked it up, and put it in her mouth, but there was no fishy smell and blood smell she imagined, smooth meat, plus unique sauces, a delicious fragrance, and all the meat she had eaten was different.

The most important thing is that you don't have to chew it to melt in your mouth, and before you can taste it, it will turn into a lingering fragrance, which will go directly down your throat, and even your spirit will be lifted.

Seeing Concubine Miao's intoxicated expression, Zhao Xin was also very satisfied, this was an accident, although Zhao Xin had been preparing all the time, wanting to get the best bluefin tuna, but unfortunately although this thing has not yet reached the level of extinction in later generations, there are not many in Asia, and it will only appear if it is close to the Bering Strait.

The speed is extremely fast, the individual is also very strong, generally with nets, it is difficult to catch, you must be skilled sailors fishing, or use purse seine nets, enclose a considerable area for fishing.

This is difficult for the Dinghai Navy, which is far away from the place of origin, and after the Dinghai Navy started fishing, a total of 12 have been caught in the past few years.

These 12 were basically eaten by Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin's most memorable thing is the meat of the abdomen, which is the top grade of sashimi, every time I eat it, I feel that the aftertaste is endless, but unfortunately there are too few.

With the current preservation measures of the navy, the maximum time is one month, and it has been more than three months since the last capture, and he has thought a little.

The arrival of his mother, he is willing, to put all, the best things, all mother, bluefin tuna, this kind of delicacy, which is difficult to see on the earth, is one of them, in order to fish, has been assigned to Hokkaido, focusing on catching tuna, and even venturing to the north, trying to be able to find, but unfortunately, the effect is not very good, and he is not 100% sure, before the arrival of Concubine Miao, he got these.

Who knows, just at the time of the evening banquet, one caught 7 tuna more than a day ago and sent it to Shenyang through a special refrigerated car.

These include a bluefin tuna king of more than 400 catties, which is the largest bluefin tuna caught in the past few years.

"It's delicious, what is this, it tastes a little like chicken, but it's too tender!" Concubine Miao couldn't help but ask.

"This is tuna, bluefin tuna, which is the best material for making sashimi!"

Although it is said that in ancient China, raw food was also developing, and the "Book of Songs? Lesser? In June, when reporting on these two dishes, the words "braised turtle and carp" were used. The word "脍" does not mean braised noodles, but rather finely chopped raw meat, and can also indicate the action of thinly chopping meat. The ingredients for making meat include fish, beef, and sheep. After the Qin and Han dynasties, cattle and sheep were extremely rare, and they almost only referred to fish and fish, and derived from the word "鲙", which specifically meant sashimi.

In the palace banquet, there is a similar practice, but Concubine Miao has always had a light taste, even if it is in how excellent Yusheng, there will be a trace of blood, Concubine Miao does not like this, Kashgar this, it is different, although it is also Yusheng, but there is no fishy smell, and it has a special fragrance, it melts in the mouth, it is really delicious.

Zhao Xin was relieved to see that Concubine Miao was satisfied, and he was still a little afraid that Concubine Miao would not be used to it.

Among the raw food, there was beef and mutton at first, and even pork, but in the end, only Yusheng stood out, and freshwater fish, if you choose the right one, the taste is also very good, but what is really suitable for raw food is all kinds of fish in the deep sea.

In later generations, under the premise that the whole earth is seriously polluted, the fish in the deep sea have become synonymous with pollution, and it cannot be said that there is no pollution at all, and the total amount is much lower than that on land, I don't know how much lower, this is the deep-sea fish.

In this era, there is not even industrialization, let alone sewage, just the impact of some natural human activities, and the rivers are clean and clean, let alone in the deep sea.

Tuna, especially bluefin tuna, which is absolutely delicious,

In later generations, Zhao Xin occasionally became extravagant, and also ate yusheng, but he didn't have the money to buy bluefin tuna yusheng.

As a doctor, there are some appraisal income, Zhao Xin's salary is average per month, about 30,000, this salary, in the capital, can only be regarded as ordinary, it may take decades of struggle to get a house, not to mention that he has to return to his hometown, occasionally went to eat sashimi, it is also ordinary salmon, mostly some cheaper ones, but such sashimi, may be a small portion, at most enough for a few bites to eat, as high as hundreds of thousands.

As for the real bluefin tuna, even if it is an ordinary grade of 70 kilograms, I am afraid it will reach thousands of yuan a piece, as for the larger ones, it will hardly be sold in China, not that Chinese cannot afford it, but they do not have this habit. Even in the environment of the 21st century, the price of this kind of fish is very high, generally speaking, a 70 catties or so, not too big, the price is more than 100,000, the price of a catty is more than 1200, such a price, for ordinary people, is already sky-high, but for bluefin tuna, this is just a starting point.

In 2018, the largest bluefin tuna auctioned in Japan at the beginning of the year was auctioned for 330 million yen, which is equivalent to more than 20 million yuan, and the average price of one kilogram is as high as 76,000 yuan, which is the real sky-high price.

Bluefin tuna, its taste is very complicated, mainly from the meat quality, shape, and many aspects to evaluate, the big is not necessarily expensive, the expensive must be big, there is no more than 200 kilograms, there is no higher price at all, the current one, more than 400 pounds of tuna, is considered to exceed this limit, is considered to be large and precious, used to entertain Miao Fei, is the most suitable.

Seeing that the mother concubine also ate, Princess Fukang also picked up a piece, compared to Concubine Miao, Princess Fukang's feelings are more real, the food that melts in her mouth, she eats with a smile, and in addition to eating it, she also came to remind Zhao Xin to let him eat quickly.

Zhao Xin had eaten the largest one before, only about 180 catties, only half the size of this, so it felt very delicious, this time, eating such a big one, it would definitely be even more delicious, he hurriedly took out the seasoning.

There are very few seasonings for eating sashimi, usually soy sauce, of course, Zhao Xin's taste is a little heavier, and he needs a more special seasoning, that is, mustard.
