For a young boy who has just recently embarked on the path of culinary practice, witnessing the process and process of Xia Yan's killing of fish, Liu Pleiades feels extremely unfamiliar in his heart, to be precise, he is unfamiliar with this way of cooking, after all, he is currently familiar with the dishes on ten fingers.

Dishes are one thing, and what Liu Pleiades showed to Xia Yan seemed to be shocked by the aura of the knife.

Cross-cut, straight cut.

went down with another knife, and without the slightest obstacle, he chopped off the fish's head smoothly.

It's like this fish is paper-paste, Liu Pleiades has killed fish more than once, knowing that fish bones can't be easily cut, and he is also very familiar with these ordinary knives at home, to put it bluntly, the knife is not sharp to the point of sharpening iron like mud, and it is just a practice knife that is occasionally sharpened with a whetstone in daily use.

Then there is only one remaining possibility.

It's knife skills!

"He's doing 'fish tart'......"

Liu Keling was several years older than Liu Yuexing, and when she saw Xia Yan immediately slicing two pieces of fish, those internal organs that had been cut open in the abdominal cavity, and carefully scraped them clean with a knife, she realized what kind of cuisine, or rather, what kind of recipe Xia Yan was going to present.

"But his knife skills ......"

The girl herself was stunned for more than ten seconds before she lowered her voice and asked the young man next to her who was also in a daze: "Ah Yu, is there a sense of familiarity?" ”

Liu Pleiades subconsciously nodded.

"Like, Daddy used it."

"But ......"

The young man had memories and warmth on his face, and the figure of the fairy Pei appeared in his mind.

His mother, a female chef with the name of 'Sichuan Fairy', seems to have also made fish trays to entertain guests, not that Sichuan restaurants have to cook local dishes, for old customers, there are always some secret recipes that have not been announced to the public, and his mother in his memory is cutting fish for a distinguished guest, or entertaining in the pavilion next to the pond.

"If it's that kind of knife technique, sister, I'll definitely catch that 'umami'!" Liu Pleiades said, "Umami ...... Prime! ”

"Well, the umami realm like the blue heaven!"

Yusheng is the Chinese Yusheng that has been handed down since ancient times, and it is sashimi in modern fashion.

Carp sashimi is not an uncommon thing.

How to cut, Xia Yan still understands, scrapes off the internal organs, and then the knife edge is aimed at the rib layer on the inner wall of the abdominal cavity, and gently excises it.

After such an operation, the originally fat carp was almost dismembered into two delicate pieces of fish.

The volume is greatly reduced.

At the same time, the meat pieces also have fish skin.

"Snort."

The knife cut a cut, Xia Yan grabbed one end of the fish skin, and the blade surface cut through the air, so he peeled off a piece of fish skin in one piece.

Flip the fish meat over again, only to see that the meat is delicate, and there is no trace of black fish skin!

Be neat and tidy!

Here, Xia Yan suddenly put away his knife and looked at Liu Keling: "You go and ask the guest, if you want to eat fish fillets, piece by piece, or a thousand threads." ”

This involves the next knife skills and cutting methods.

Fillets and shredded fish.

However, Xia Yan suddenly found that no matter whether it was slices or thousands of threads, he couldn't avoid a question that was crucial to his cooking skills-

Sauce.

Hold the grass! Xia Yan suddenly felt that the headache and old problem had flared up again.

In particular, the uncontrollable pain of the "Escape Wind" seems to have brought him back to the unpredictability of the first advanced "Flower Knife", which happened accidentally!

"He said that the food is served casually, as if he doesn't care much about the delicious food when he revisits the old place." Liu Keling sniffed her nose and made no secret of her inhalation.

Liu Pleiades had also smelled the fresh and sweet taste that diffused from the air.

In addition, this umami is endless, and after being sucked into the nasal cavity, it tends to accumulate more and more on the physical and mental level.

He stared blankly at the carp meat on the table.

It's like discovering for the first time that freshwater fish has such a strong deliciousness, and the original muddy smell is invisible, and it doesn't exist at all!

Suddenly leaned out a hand to grab the carp meat, Xia Yanyou noticed that Liu Keling was wrong, intercepted her hand in mid-air, and forcibly stopped the girl who wanted to grab the meat with her bare hands, afraid that she had not washed her hands.

"Hey, what are you doing, grabbing fish and meat without washing your hands, and when you cook, you're afraid of a dimensionality reduction attack like you, from outside the field! The umami taste is greatly damaged! ”

"Sister......

Liu Pleiades was also taken aback.

This girl with a ruddy face, shortness of breath, a crisp chest heaving, and a very awkward position from the waist down.

Is it really the sister he knows?

"Golden umami!"

His eyes were just staring at the delicate carp meat on the board, and Liu Keling's face was filled with a complex and indescribable expression.

That's right.

It's that knife stunt.

In an instant, it seemed to be back to the chrysanthemum downstairs eleven years ago.

At that time, the building downstairs of Ju was no different from now, the only thing that changed was the people.

The surviving parents, one in the pavilion, holding the newborn baby in her arms, and the other is a man she remembers lessly, that person is called Liu Maliu, he is on the edge of the pond, he put a board on a stone, killed fish on the spot, and boiled a bowl of fish soup on the spot.

At that time, the girl with pigtails and runny nose had a cute accent and said to the man, "Daddy, is it a carp again?" ”

"Carp, salmon, trout, catfish, crucian carp."

"Carp always comes first......"

The girl listened with wide eyes, even though she didn't know what the fish were.

"The carp is the originator of the river fish in this land of China, and it also carries the legend of the leaping dragon gate, so I hope that Ah Yu and the little bell will grow up healthy and disease-free, so I named this dish 'koi soup' ahaha."

At that time, Liu Keling never thought that carp was a freshwater fish with a lot of spines.

Because the man who always has a gentle smile will always cut off the big thorns first, then remove all the small thorns, and then take them to boil fish soup and fish porridge.

Of course.

The words 'golden umami' and 'blue heaven' were also heard by Liu Keling from his father named Liu Maliu.

……

Ju downstairs, the lobby of the main building.

The main entrance was only opened, and the guests sitting in the lobby looked out of the half-open door, and saw that the street outside was deserted and silent, and there were no pedestrians for half a day, let alone carriages and arrogant children.

Compared with the busy situation when Fairy Bei was the chef in the past.

The middle-aged male guest, who was quite a little unangry and arrogant, sighed lowly.

"Your Excellency!"

The attendant behind him was about to say something, when footsteps came from the passage in the direction of the back kitchen.

"It's here, it's served!" Liu Keling ran to the tray in small steps and put the tray down.

Just a plate of fish tart, a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks.

Liu Keling put down the tray in her other hand, pointed to the three seasoning dishes on it, and felt very embarrassed: "That, the master in charge said that he couldn't understand your taste, so he mixed 3 kinds of sauces for you." ”

Facts, is that really the case?

Liu Keling's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, thinking of the kitchen in the backyard just now, the guy who proved that he really had something to do with her father, spread his hands and announced helplessly:

"I can't control the sauce!"

"To be precise, you can't predict what the sauce will taste like, anyway, time is tight and you can't test the poison yourself, you move these plates over, if you dip them in the unpalatable, throw them away, dip them in the delicious, oh no, that's really good luck and reap double the happiness......"

Ha?!

Liu Keling and Liu Pleiades were simply stunned.
