Sweet and sour fish was not common in ancient times, and it was first paired with carp and developed to the extreme to form a squirrel osmanthus fish. But that was already a matter of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Xu Yuan chose to use cinnamon fish with sweet and sour techniques, which shows that Xu Yuan has his own opinions on cooking.

According to Xu Yuan's request, Xia Shang quickly completed the dissection of the two cinnamon fish, placed the cutting board, and Xu Yuan quickly took over: "Tomato mash sauce for later use, pay attention to keep the oil temperature, seventy percent hot." I'll cut the knife. ”

Tomato.

Daring to use new ingredients in such a competition shows Xu Yuan's courage, looking sideways at Xu Yuan's confident movements, Xia Shang nodded secretly, but when Xu Yuan was about to cut through the fish skin, Xia Shang stopped her.

"Wait, that's how the fish should be cut."

If it weren't for Xu Yuan's ability, Xia Shang would not have interfered. Xu Yuan can think of sweet and sour osmanthus fish, and can think of using tomato sauce to hook the sauce, and it is good to mention a little bit to let the squirrel osmanthus fish come out earlier.

And Xia Shang's identity is not known to everyone, at least not the Yunshui Pavilion guys behind them, and among them, there are also cooks who have been fighting with Xu Yuan for a long time. They didn't know why Xu Yuan insisted on inviting a person who was unwilling to reveal his identity to do it, especially the other cooks in Yunshui Pavilion had long been indignant. Now that Xia Shang was pointing fingers at Xu Yuan, the group of relatives and friends in the rear began to be restless.

What's even more puzzling is that Xu Yuan actually accepted Xia Shang's proposal and handed over the kitchen knife for Xia Shang to cover up.

At this moment, someone couldn't help but step forward and remind: "How can anyone give the chef instructions?" Sister Xu, you've been preparing today's dishes for a long time, but you can't let him mess up the rhythm. ”

Xu Yuan didn't look back, holding a pot and spoon in one hand, mashing the tomatoes in the bowl with the other, and responded coldly: "I am free to measure." ”

Today's game is of the essence, even in the area near the city gate, there are a large number of diners, most of them are dressed as ordinary people, at this time they have begun to move closer to the stalls, and the stalls with the signboard of Yunshui Pavilion are naturally the most concerned point in this area.

Many diners were waiting for the first dish to come out, and Xu Yuan didn't have time to be distracted, and all the processes of the dish had to be carried out together.

The oil temperature gradually increased, Xu Yuan quickly removed the pot from the heat, went down to the second pot, added clear soup, salt, sugar, tomato paste, vinegar, stirred constantly until it boiled, and then added starch.

When the sauce is finished, change the pot again.

At this moment, the oil temperature is just right, and the cinnamon fish processed by Xia Shang is finished and immediately put into the pot.

With a snort, the oil flower exploded, and a fragrance gushed out, attracting the coveted attention of the onlookers.

Xu Yuan didn't pay attention to Xia Shang's knife technique, and after the osmanthus fish was put into the pot, it quickly showed a chrysanthemum bloom, with the boiling oil and water, it was already beautiful in the pot.

The onlookers did not see such a spectacle, and they all exclaimed, and they all praised Yunshui Pavilion as one of the four major restaurants in Chang'an.

Xu Yuan was also surprised, glanced at Xia Shang, and said in her heart How did she do it?

The flesh of the fish is spread out in all directions, but it is closely connected, all of which are golden and shining, but there is no skin in sight.

"Cook." Xia Shang shouted.

"Plates!"

When the osmanthus fish came out of the pot, Xia Shang sent a plate: "Boiled juice." ”

The iron pot in Xu Yuan's hands rotated again, and then boiled the juice.

After the sauce was cooked, Xu Yuan was about to pour the juice, and the big spoon was stunned in mid-air, only to see that the osmanthus fish on the plate showed a strange appearance.

The head of the fish is raised, the tail is upturned, and the body of the fish is in full bloom like a flower. Finally, the juice is hooked, and the golden red juice is integrated into the fish, which instantly puts a more beautiful coat on the whole dish.

Finish!

Everyone looked at the osmanthus on the plate and was a little sluggish, some people twisted their eyebrows and pondered, some people folded their hands, and some people were silent, just because the dishes looked like something, but they couldn't remember.

Xia Shang didn't want to take the lead, so he quietly said to Xu Yuan: "This is called squirrel Guiyu." ”

Xu Yuan's eyes lit up, she was also thinking, and when she heard the word "squirrel", she suddenly understood.

It's a squirrel! The fish looks like a squirrel!

Xu Yuan originally thought of sweet and sour osmanthus fish, but he didn't expect it to become a squirrel osmanthus with a slight change, becoming more than just a name, and the shape and taste must be a higher grade.

When there were so many people, someone asked, "What is this dish called?" ”

Xia Shang nodded at Xu Yuan, and Xu Yuan said, "Squirrel Guiyu." ”

"Squirrel Guiyu?"

The crowd resounded with the sound of chatter.

"It's really a squirrel fish! Wonderful! ”

There are few names that resonate with everyone, and onlookers want to taste the dish. A person squeezed to the front with a handful of copper coins: "This is fifty Wen, I want the squirrel Guiyu." ”

As soon as these words came to mind, the problem of eating came to mind, and someone hurriedly shouted: "I want this first one first!" ”

Now it was lively, and everyone in the crowd was waving and shouting: "I want it!" I'm going to! ”

Xia Shang raised his hand: "Don't worry, this is a sample, it's not this that is really sold, and wait a while." ”

Xu Yuan elbowed Xia Shang: "What are you selling if you don't sell this?" ”

"How do you sell a fish? How many cinnamon fish do you have? How much is a cinnamon fish? It's no wonder that business doesn't lose money in this way. Divide a fish into at least ten portions. ”

"Ten copies? Is it too little? ”

"No, it won't. When you hold the knife, pay attention to the reverse cut, from the belly of the fish into the knife, do not cut the skin of the fish. ”

After a little reminder, Xu Yuan understood that the reason why the fish skin was not seen was not because the fish skin was gone, but because the fish skin was hidden underneath.

Xu Yuan has the ability, and once he is on demand, he understands the principle of the squirrel osmanthus fish, and the remaining dissected fish is completed by changing the knife in three or two clicks. This time, you don't have to worry about the shape, you just need to divide it into ten equal portions, which is much faster.

When diners saw the small plate of cinnamon fish, they were somewhat disappointed.

This is also understandable, Guiyu is a high-quality fish, the price is expensive, fifty wen to taste a bite is already very good.

A fish is divided into ten, and it is also swept away, and those who have tasted it are all amazed.

It's inevitable that it's delicious, but everyone cares not about this, but about whether anyone rewards silver?

It's a pity that after a cinnamon fish was robbed, there were only five hundred copper coins more on the stall of Yunshui Pavilion.

The same situation happened in almost all the surrounding stalls, but the crowd didn't even have time to complain, the customers were one after another, the battle had just begun, and only those who held their feet in front of the swarming diners could get more silver.

Xia Shang was in charge of the dissection, Xu Yuan was in charge of changing the knife, and everything was going on in an orderly manner in the simple stall.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen cinnamon fish were sold out.

Tapping the copper coin, he suddenly found a small piece of silver mixed in the mountain of copper plates.

Xia Shang and Xu Yuan glanced at each other, and they were happy and heartfelt, and suddenly both of them laughed, laughed two more silver, and laughed at themselves When did they become so easy to satisfy?

This is indeed laughable, especially under the resentful gaze of the rivals around him.

One tael of silver, the first tael of silver that appeared in this piece of Mingdemen!

The excitement didn't last long, and the previous guests were heading out into the city, and a group of guests from the city were approaching......
