Chapter 80: The First Course
A blue-black grass carp shook its head and tail in the clear water, spit bubbles on the surface of the water for a while, swam to the bottom of the water for a while, and was quiet in the water, and then suddenly burst out of the water, not quiet for a moment.
Today's game is about the ancestral industry to watch the cow building, Lu Wei had to be cautious, so he decided to make the dishes provided by the system. This grass carp is naturally the West Lake grass carp provided by the system.
As soon as the grass carp leaves the water, its tail swings vigorously. Lu Wei put the fish on the cutting board, the fish jumped a few times, and jumped into the tank again, Lu Wei had to fish it out again, stun with a knife on the back, and then remove the scales and disembowel and wash it.
Here he cut the fish into two slices, laid out the plate, and put it in the water, and Zhang San also handled the fish over there. Zhang San made fish tart.
According to legend, it was passed down by students from the island country during the Tang Dynasty and has been carried forward to modern times.
From the literati to the common people in Tokyo, there is almost no fish to enjoy. To make fish tart, the first thing is knife skills, and each piece of fish must be cut as thin as a cicada's wings, almost transparent.
It is said that in the mansion of the great poet Meizhang, there is a maidservant girl who makes the most delicious fish belly, which melts in the mouth. But it's just a legend, and Zhang San didn't have a chance to taste it.
Zhang San thinks that his knife skills are good, and the choice of this dish is deliberate, the literati have the habit of eating fish, and he knows that the county is a literati, so it must be good for this bite, which is what he does.
He is extremely confident in his cooking skills and knife skills, although he has never eaten the fish made by the maid in Meizhang's mansion, but his confidence is not worse than her. Besides, with the fame and official position of He Zhi County, he may not have the opportunity to eat fish in Meifu. In this way, He Zhixian will definitely think that the fish tartch he made is the most delicious.
Lu Yuan assured that Ruan Xiaosan and the team leader had dredged up the relationship early, and He Zhixian would definitely judge Wangyuanlou to win, and there was no suspense about Wangyuanlou's victory, he was now fighting for his own reputation, if he could get a sincere compliment from He Zhixian, it would be well deserved.
He also uses grass carp. Pieces of crystal white fish fillets are spread on the plate, like snowflakes, and they are really as thin as cicada wings.
Chang Sheng stood beside him, glanced into the distance, glanced at the fish on the plate, and couldn't stop smiling.
Not to mention Lu Yuan, he has long been smiling so much that he can't see the seams, Zhang San is worthy of the name of a chef, this knife skill, a few chefs in Wangyuan Building don't have it.
He slapped Zhang San with a few sycophants, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the side of the cow tower.
Lu Wei had already arranged the fish on the plate, and was thickening it, and the brown-red juice slid down the blue-black back like amber, overflowing the belly of the fish, wrapping the whole fish in it, and immediately attracting his attention.
The vinegar fish in the West Lake has been on the market for half a month, and he listens to the diners here talking every day, saying that it is rare in the sky, unparalleled in the world, and once this fish comes out, it is difficult for other fish in the world to compete with it. Originally, he thought the same way, but now he thinks that if such a whole fish is put up, the knife skills cannot be compared with Zhang San's fish belly, what about the taste, no matter how good it is? He Zhixian is a literati, and his favorite is the fish belly.
When he thought about it like this, his confidence became stronger, and when he thought about the qi he had received these days, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, his middle qi was sufficient, and his voice was louder, and he said: "It's the West Lake vinegar fish again, do you have anything else to do besides this?" There's a kind of doing something else. ”
This dish is made every day, it is cooked, and it doesn't take much effort, Lu Wei wiped his hands, smiled at him, and said, "Haven't you heard of a trick fresh, eat it all over the world?" You can do a lot of things, what can you do? At the critical moment, don't you have to ask someone else's cook to help? ”
"You! You fool, I don't know as much as you do. Lu Yuan walked away.
Lu Wei was just about to serve the fish, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhang San had already walked to the table in He Zhixian. Although it takes a lot of effort to move the fish, Zhang San has practiced it well, and the knife technique of this piece of fish, I don't know if I have practiced it tens of thousands of times.
The emperor went to Jinmingchi today, and he must not make a mistake, after the first day of the fifth month, He Zhixian was concerned, he had always been careless, and suddenly wanted to care about everything, and he almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he was busy all morning today.
Ruan Xiaosan was in the crowd, urging the bettors to bet on Zhang San to win and cheer Zhang San up.
The team leader was apprehensive, peeking at He Zhixian from time to time, and he didn't have much hope for today's outcome. On that day, he returned to the county government from watching the cow building and reported Lu Wei's reaction, He Zhixian not only did not blame Lu Wei, but also scolded him and ordered him not to get the cow tower in the future. Otherwise, how could he never be able to go to these two restaurants from now on, and only let Ruan Xiaosan come forward?
I don't know how the county will judge.
"County Zun, the first dish of Wangyuan Building is ready."
Where the responsibility lies, the team leader reported, and said it twice, He Zhixian woke up from the dream, wiped his face, and said, "It's done?" Looking up at the face of a middle-aged man in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "You made this dish?" ”
Zhang San said respectfully: "Yes, the villain Zhang San respectfully invited the county to try the dishes." ”
He is not the cook of Wangyuanlou, he does not want to report the name of Wangyuanlou, although he is competing for Wangyuanlou today, he is making a name for himself.
"Okay." He Zhixian picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of almost transparent fish fillet, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth, only to feel the sweetness of the fish, full of mouth, but the fishy smell was diluted by the sauce.
He ate a few chopsticks before he said, "Yes, it's really good." ”
After eating a few slices of fish, he suddenly felt less sleepy.
Lu Yuan squeezed through the crowd, hurried and hurried, finally arrived, and hurriedly answered: "County Zun, the fish in the small shop Wangyuan Building has always been extremely prestigious. ”
Zhang San's sharp eyes were on him, he was the chef of Yuelai Building, different from ordinary cooks, because the crab stuffed orange was done well, the owner gave him a dividend of 30% of dry shares, as long as Yuelai Lou did not go out of business, he could share 30% of the profits. In this way, he is also the owner of Yuelai Building. Yuelai Building is the largest restaurant in Jinmingchi, how can it be compared with Wangyuan Building? In fact, his status is still above Lu Yuan.
Now Lu Yuan said that the fish he made was produced by Wangyuanlou, didn't he say that he was the cook of Wangyuanlou? How unreasonable!
When this was the time when Wangyuan Tower was famous, how could he back down, Lu Yuan squeezed in front of Zhang San and looked at He Zhixian flatteringly.
He Zhixian ate two more chopsticks and said, "Not bad." ”
He has been busy until now, only eating two bowls of gruel before going out, and several hours have passed, and he is hungry and hungry, what do you eat that doesn't taste good? What's more, Zhang San's fish is really good.
While speaking, Lu Wei also arrived with the vinegar fish from West Lake, Lu Yuan and He San stood in front of He Zhixian, Lu Wei stood still in a zhang away, and said loudly: "County Zun, see that the first dish of the Niulou is ready." ”
"Huh? Avi is here. He Zhixian hurriedly turned sideways and looked into the distance and beckoned, "Avi, come here." ”
Zhang San and Lu Yuan all changed color, and the team leader's face was ugly.
