Chapter 137: It Really Worked
Seeing a large group of foreigners who came to participate in the exhibition following the fragrance into the local food hall, the guys in Shuxianglou immediately put on a robe one by one, walked outside the booth, and took out a pair of money boards and rapped.
The content of the rap, officially about the origin of the cold pot fish and the related legends.
The group of foreigners was immediately attracted and surrounded the booths of Shuxianglou and Ma Hao.
Ma Hao was in a good mood when he saw so many foreigners coming.
Although he couldn't see Fang Yu because of the crowd, he imagined that Fang Fang Yu must have been angry, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
Seeing that more and more people came, Ma Hao showed off his skills, picked up the net bag, fished out a silver carp nearly half a meter long from the large tank behind the booth, and threw it onto the board with a "snap".
The big silver carp writhed desperately on the board, and the splash of its tail startled the foreigners.
Ma Hao picked up the kitchen knife and struck the huge silver carp on the head with his backhand with the back of the knife, and immediately knocked the silver carp unconscious. Then the gills were digged, scaled, the belly was cut, and the black membrane was removed, and in a few minutes, a big silver carp was killed.
After washing the silver carp with water and cutting off the head, Ma Hao changed a knife and began to debone and slice the fish.
In the surprised and adoring eyes of a large group of foreigners, Ma Hao flew left and right with a quick knife, and a large fish turned into layers of fish fillets stacked like petals.
Ma Hao took out the secret marinade and spread the fish fillets for later use, and then began to stir the cauldron where the soup was boiling.
The soup in the cauldron has become more and more fragrant, although the foreigners are a little stunned when they look at the red chili oil, but they can't stand the temptation of the taste, and they hesitate to make a move.
Ma Hao saw the concerns of these foreigners, smiled, and first took a fish fillet, coated it with egg whites and salt and put it in the pot.
The white and red fish fillets quickly showed a smooth jade color as the boiling soup went up and down.
Ma Hao scooped up the fish fillets and some soup accurately, and poured them into the disposable small bowl handed over by the man in Shuxianglou.
In the small bowl, there were chopped sprouts, chopped green onions, chopped celery, chopped garlic, coriander, and crispy soybeans, and they were poured by the hot soup, and all kinds of condiments floated around the jade-colored fish fillets, yellow, green, white, and black, and the color was very beautiful.
Ma Hao looked at the nearest foreigners, chose a young girl with chestnut hair and a camera, and handed the bowl over.
Most of the foreigners who come to the exhibition are from companies that have been trading with China for a long time, and some of them are even resident in China, so they basically know a little Chinese.
The girl saw the first bowl of food made by Ma Hao and handed it to herself, a little incredulous, pointed to herself in surprise, and said in blunt Chinese: "Oh?" ”
Immediately next to him, the staff of Shuxiang Building explained in foreign language:
"This beautiful lady, our chef would like to invite you to taste the cold pot fish he makes. This dish is a wonderful invention of a great writer a thousand years ago, and the taste is very unique. ”
The girl happily said "rest" in Chinese, took the spoon handed over by the staff of Shuxianglou, carefully brushed aside the red oil in the bowl, and scooped up a piece of fish fillet.
The fillet was thin, the edges reflected in the light of the pavilion, and the foreign girl smiled and said a foreign word to Ma Hao.
The staff of Shuxiang House translated for Ma Hao: "This lady praises your food as a work of art. ”
Ma Hao smiled proudly and said, "Tell her, taste the taste first, my cold pot fish is not just good-looking." ”
The foreign girl, who understood a little Chinese, immediately answered "OK" and blew the fillet into her mouth.
As soon as she entered the mouth, the foreign girl's neck immediately shrank back, pursed her mouth and did not speak, and through her cheeks, you could find that her mouth was moving slightly.
The other foreigners all looked at her with blank eyes, seeing how she reacted.
After a few seconds, the girl exhaled softly, "Oh God, it's too tender." Then he gave a thumbs up.
The foreigners around listened to the girl's words and said that they also wanted to have a copy.
The staff of Shuxianglou immediately organized those foreigners to line up to see the long queue in front of their stalls, but there was no one in front of Fang Yu's stall, and Ma Haole showed his back molars.
Seeing that the foreigners kept lining up in front of Ma Hao's booth, Fang Yu still calmly put the processed vanilla sticks into the pot and boiled his glutinous rice without hurrying.
Time passed quickly, and by the time Fang Yu had prepared the things that needed to be made on the spot, it had already been an hour.
Now not only foreigners, but also many exhibitors and local people from all over the country have also begun to visit the exhibition.
There are still many people around Ma Hao's stall, not only the cold pot fish sells well, but also sells a lot of various snacks with Shuxianglou.
Ma Hao feels that he is already a sure winner.
Soon it was close to noon, and a large number of people at the exhibition moved to the food hall at the request of their stomachs.
Lin Qiao is the host of a TV station in Shudu, and he used to host a food program on the variety channel, which has high ratings and is widely acclaimed. Recently, she has competed for positions with her good personal image and excellent work performance, and has become the leader of the news channel.
Lin Qiao has always worked very hard, and this morning she and the cameraman have run four activities in a row, and now she is tired and hungry.
After meeting up with other colleagues who had come to run the exhibition, she proposed to go directly to the service area to ask for a quick meal, and after eating, she could continue to work.
Another male colleague said after answering a phone call that a friend of his told him that this year's food hall gathered many time-honored brands, and the famous Shuxiang House also invited a descendant of Rongzhou's Tangjia cuisine to make cold pot fish.
He suggested that you can go to the food hall to have a look, not only to taste the food, but also to take some materials by the way, and go back to cut and cut maybe it is more suitable than those activities to appear on the evening news on the stage today.
Lin Qiao felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he agreed.
Following the direction of the flow of people, Lin Qiao and his colleagues came to the outside of the food hall.
Before she entered the food hall, she smelled a strong spicy aroma, some like the smell of hot pot ingredients, but a little different, and felt a special pepper aroma.
Her stomach gurgled.
Lin Qiao blushed and looked to the side, fortunately, her colleagues were attracted by the aroma, and no one noticed her.
Walking into the food hall, there are crowds of people, especially the stalls of Shuxiang Building diagonally opposite the entrance, and there are the most people queuing.
Lin Qiao looked at such a long line and had a headache.
If you want to shoot, you must shoot Shuxiang Building, so many people queue up to have enough topicality.
However, I have always had a slight hypoglycemia, and today my relatives came, and I felt very uncomfortable with the fat in my lower abdomen, and when I was hungry, I felt dizzy and weak.
Lin Qiao decided to find a company with a small queue to fill his stomach first, and then do things.
She was thinking about it, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glance at a roll-up banner placed on the left side of the entrance, and the beautiful woman in the costume in the photo above was so familiar.
Lin Qiaoxiang poked the cameraman next to him and asked, "I see that roll-up banner beauty is very familiar, but I can't remember who it is, do you have an impression?" ”
The cameraman was a tall guy, he looked carefully at the photo printed on the roll-up banner, suddenly slapped his thigh and said:
"Oh my God, isn't this the lonely overlord flower? She is so beautiful in a period costume. ”
As soon as the cameraman said this, Lin Qiao remembered that the beauty on this roll-up banner was a female policeman she had interviewed some time ago.
I have to say that this photo is completely different from the appearance when I interviewed her, it looks like a different person, no wonder I didn't recognize it for a while.
"Oh, I remember, it's the policewoman who solved the big drug case. What's her name? Li..."Lin Qiao struggled to think of the name.
"Li Shuhan, I remember clearly, I also handed her a business card that day." The cameraman laughed.
Lin Qiao glanced at the cameraman, she knew that this kid was very sweet-hearted, and when she saw a beautiful girl, she handed her a business card, and when she first cooperated with him, she also handed it to herself.
The cameraman said mysteriously: "Why do you say that Li Shuhan's photo appears here, and she is still wearing such clothes, could it be that she is actually a person who loves the second dimension in her life, hehe, I like this." ”
Lin Qiao saw that there was actually a stall next to the roll-up banner, although it was pitiful and small, but the decoration had a unique taste. Best of all, there wasn't a single person in line.
