Whole Fish Feast, also known as Hundred Fish Feast.

As the name suggests, fish is the main ingredient in all dishes at the banquet, and up to 500 dishes can be prepared using a variety of knife techniques and cooking methods.

A table of the best whole fish feast, after the feast, colorful, fragrant, mouth-watering. Because the raw materials pay attention to a freshness, and the chef's knife skills are extremely tested, the dishes are mostly made of the original soup, so it not only retains the unique umami of the fish, but also pays attention to the beauty of color and shape, and attaches importance to nutritional matching.

Some gourmets once commented that the whole fish feast has both a light and tender southern flavor and a fresh, salty and spicy northern flavor, which can be described as a generation of famous banquets suitable for all ages.

There are 12, 14, 20, and 24 dishes per table, as well as hundreds of dishes per table, and the more dishes there are, the greater the test for the chef.

Among them, the common dishes are carp jumping over the dragon gate, two dragons playing with pearls, carp three fresh, mandarin duck fish rolls, fried stewed white fish, etc., in order to make the dishes of the banquet more abundant, over the years, there are constantly chefs to improve, but also add shrimp and crab and other river fresh into it, from the beginning simply only use fish as the main material, increase to fish-based river fresh as the main material.

And the whole fish feast is not unique to a certain place, many places have their own characteristics of the whole fish feast, although the main ingredient is fish, but because each region is different in the river fresh, as well as the difference in taste and practice, so it is very different.

Hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao asked with some curiosity: "Master, you know so well, you must have done a whole fish banquet in the palace, right?" What dishes did you cook? ”

Lao Li Tou looked at the window lattice, his eyes became a little distant, as if he was recalling something, and after a long while, he sighed and said: "There was a very grand whole fish banquet in the palace, but at that time, I had just entered the imperial dining room, and I was not qualified to participate in it at all. The reason why I know so much is actually because I was young and unconvinced, so I studied hard, thinking that I would make a banquet like this in person in the future, which is why I ...... Hey......"

Hearing the unfinished meaning in his words, Liu Jiaojiao did not ask any questions very sensibly.

I have long known that her master is an old man with a story, but the old man will one day tell her those secrets that have been hidden in her heart for many years, and she has this confidence and patience.

Liu Jun had been listening quietly beside him, frowning slightly, especially when he heard that there were still hundreds of dishes to be made in the whole fish feast, his eyebrows were almost twisted.

Although Erhu has learned a lot, this kind of important banquet is at most a hand-in-hand share, Liu Jiaojiao, who values the reputation of the restaurant, will definitely not let him be the chef, if one person has to cook so many dishes, won't his sister be exhausted to death?

He was distressed, and at the same time, he was angry with the county magistrate who was on the way.

You're not a cat, so why can't you get along with fish all day long? Wouldn't it be okay to eat something else?

It just so happened that Lao Li Tou and Liu Jiaojiao didn't mean to continue talking, so Liu Jun saw the stitches and said: "Jiaojiao, when the time comes, you can make it according to the standard of a table with the least twelve dishes. ”

Before Liu Jiaojiao could say anything, Lao Li Tou was the first to laugh, pointed at Liu Jun, and teased: "What's the matter?" This banquet hasn't even started yet, so you start feeling sorry for Jiaojiao first? ”

"My sister, I feel sorry for myself." Liu Jun answered neatly and crisply, without the slightest sign of blushing and weakness.

Lao Li Tou originally wanted to tease a few more words, thinking that Liu Jiaojiao was too young to pierce the window paper between the two of them after all, so he shook his head, looked at Liu Jiaojiao, and asked: "Girl, the whole fish banquet actually doesn't have too many restrictions on dishes, as long as the main ingredient is fish." Fortunately, we have a lot of fish varieties, even if you want to use twelve different kinds of fish to make twelve dishes, it is feasible, do you have any good ideas? ”

"Master, I said that I want to learn the whole fish banquet from you, shouldn't you help me think of a menu, and then teach me one dish at a time?" Liu Jiaojiao deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Her master's free-range education method is not right, since she showed a unique brain hole, Lao Li Tou has hardly taught her any dishes, it is after she uses the recipes given by the system to make new dishes, Lao Li Tou first tastes, and then helps her do some guidance and adjustments.

The master was too lazy, and the apprentice said that he was very tired.

Lao Li Tou smiled and retorted: "Isn't your Qingxin Fang's main focus just different?" The recipes in my hand have been made by others, so what's the use of you learning them? ”

"Then you can't teach nothing, I've never done such a banquet, if I accidentally miss it, it's okay to lose my own face, it's a big deal to lose your face, Master!"

"It's okay, others don't know who I used to be, you can't lose my face."

Liu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes weakly, feeling countless grass and mud horses whistling past in her heart.

Who did Master learn from him? Stand up, she promises not to kill him!

Liu Jun couldn't bear it, and just wanted to open his mouth to help, but Lao Li Tou shook his head at him invisibly, and he had no choice but to continue to be silent.

He knows Lao Litou's character, don't look at Liu Jiaojiao, who always has nothing to do, but in his heart, he takes this apprentice very seriously, and even surpasses his grandson, so there must be a reason for him to do this, in short, it will definitely not hurt Jiaojiao.

Knowing that the master was preparing to carry out the stocking mode to the end, Liu Jiaojiao sighed helplessly, closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and then reopened her eyes, her eyes flashing with confidence.

She just flipped through the cookbook given by the system in her mind, and found that there were actually a lot of fish-based dishes in it, plus she had eaten so many specialties in her previous life because of a lot of entertainment, and in a short period of time, she had basically decided on the twelve dishes she was going to make.

"Master, since I want to make a special dish that is different, then I have to think about it, do you think this will work? You give me a list of dishes that you know use fish as the main ingredient so that I can make sure I don't make the same dishes as everyone else, don't you think so? Liu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You girl, you are really a good person who will be repaid, I just ridiculed you, you want to exhaust me as an old man." ”

"How can that? At most, it's just a few hundred dish names and recipes, and isn't there still three days left? Master, you can do it! ”

"Girl, it's only three days, and when I make a list of all the dishes I remember, do you still have time to research new dishes?"

When Liu Jun heard this, she immediately became anxious, and interjected: "Jiaojiao, grandpa is right, there is not enough time." ”

Liu Jiaojiao shrugged helplessly, with a depressed expression, and then suddenly her expression changed, and she grimaced at the two of them, and said playfully: "Okay, I won't tease you, I already have some ideas in my head, tomorrow I have to trouble Master, you will personally help me buy the fish I need, and when the restaurant closes in the evening, let's try the dishes one by one." ”

Chefs must know how to choose the best ingredients, so if you want to buy the most suitable and freshest fish, it is the safest to let Lao Li Tou go on a trip in person, who let her stay in the kitchen of the restaurant during the day to cook, no time? can only work hard for her most respected master.

Lao Li Tou can see it, just because of his inadvertent ridicule, this little girl who holds a grudge is on the bar with him, and if he doesn't toss his old bones, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through this matter today.

Shook his head angrily and funny, and then bent his finger and flicked it on Liu Jiaojiao's smooth forehead, he said angrily: "Okay, I'll buy it early tomorrow morning, and I'm sure to choose the freshest and best fish for you, are you satisfied?" ”

"Hey, satisfied, satisfied, absolutely satisfied." Liu Jiaojiao touched her slightly painful forehead, she didn't dare to continue tossing the old man, she accepted it when she saw it, "I will take the seasoning ingredients needed to make the dishes, I will take them back from the restaurant." ”

In the past two years, Liu Jiaojiao has tried almost all the ways to find and scavenge all kinds of seasonings everywhere, and now the kitchen of Qingxinfang has specially vacated a room to preserve these seasonings, and it is precisely because the seasonings of the restaurant are relatively complete that this can make the taste that other restaurants can't make, ensuring the uniqueness of Qingxinfang.

Liu San and Liu Lotus naturally understood the preciousness of these hard-won seasonings, so they looked at this room tightly, and the only two keys were in Liu Jiaojiao's hands and Liu San's hands. Except for Liu Jiaojiao who went in to get spices and Liu San, who checked once a day in the morning and evening, everyone else was not allowed to go in.

Lao Li Tou also knew about this, and once went there to take a closer look, and then took some back very cheekily to try it himself, and made Liu Jiaojiao so distressed that he didn't pay attention to him for three days.

There is no way, some of the seasonings are really too difficult to get their hands on, and they have to be reprocessed before they can be used, and it is also very troublesome to replenish the stock, so she herself is very economical to use, for fear that one day it will suddenly be out of stock.

It seems that the restaurant really has to be opened to the provincial capital as soon as possible, the town has inconvenient transportation and remote location, which really hinders the development of the restaurant.
