137, Whole Fish Feast (4)

Since the fish was not enough to buy, and it really took time to cook so many dishes, Liu Jiaojiao only made six dishes, and the rest would continue tomorrow night.

For these six dishes, it is still fortunate that Lao Li Tou helped to help, which saved a lot of time, otherwise I am afraid that I would have to go in the early morning.

Among the six dishes, "one fish and three eats" is the shortest time-consuming, and the rest of the stewed silver carp, braised crucian carp in sauce and milk tofu crucian carp soup will take some time.

Fortunately, there are four stoves in Lao Litou's kitchen, and the three stoves are used to slowly make those few time-consuming dishes, and the remaining stoves are used to make "one fish and three eats", which ensures that the dishes that are not made first are cold, and the second dish cannot be served.

Seeing that a large table was full of fish, even Liu Jun, who had never been a picky eater, felt a little bad about getting off the chopsticks, and said with a wry smile: "It is estimated that after trying the dishes in the past two days, I will not want to eat fish for a long time." ”

Liu Jiaojiao pouted and said, "There's no way, who let the new county magistrate do this?" But to be honest, he likes to eat fish and cook a few more fish-related dishes, so why do you have to have a whole fish feast? Won't you get tired of looking at the fish on the table? ”

"I don't know if he'll get tired of it, anyway, I'm already feeling a little tired of watching it now." Liu Jun shook his head helplessly.

Lao Li Tou was not so particular, picked up the chopsticks and directly tried the taste of each dish, chewed and tasted carefully, and said to Liu Jiaojiao: "What are you going to cook for the remaining six dishes?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao replied: "I will make a paper-wrapped fish with crucian carp, which is simply to wrap the whole fish in paper and then grill it to retain the umami of the fish itself." The remaining five dishes will be made with carp, namely sauerkraut fish, oily carp, carp fragrant pot, braised carp and golden retriever lionfish. ”

"Except for the stewed silver carp and this tofu crucian carp soup that you cleverly added milk to, the rest are hard dishes, and I'm afraid that even if the guests love fish, they will inevitably feel a little tired."

Liu Jiaojiao thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, ordinary people will pay attention to a problem of meat and vegetarian matching when ordering food, and they will not order all hard dishes, they always have to be paired with a few light side dishes, she really ignores this.

After thinking about it, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Master, otherwise, I don't need crucian carp, change to herring, you can make a herring tofu soup, a steamed herring, and then use the skin of herring to make a refreshing cold salad skin, and then stew the silver carp and change it to tomato roasted silver carp, to avoid the soup dish made of two fish, and the tomato taste sweet and sour, this dish will not be greasy." ”

"Also, the oily carp can also be replaced and replaced with dry fried fish pieces, and the herring meat with bone spurs removed will be used, and I will serve it with a specially prepared dipping sauce for the guests to dip and eat, Master, what do you think?"

After Liu Jiaojiao finished speaking, she looked at Lao Li Tou expectantly.

After pondering for a moment, Lao Li nodded and said, "The idea is good, so as to avoid all the dishes being hard dishes, resulting in too greasy." ”

After receiving the master's affirmation, Liu Jiaojiao was happy, a lot of ideas came out, her eyes were shining, and she continued: "The staple food I will provide rice, noodles and cakes, tear the cake into small pieces, and dip it in the sauce of the stewed crucian carp to eat, it has a unique flavor, and the noodles I will cook and put them in the soup left over from the chopped pepper fish head, which is also a unique way to eat, it depends on how the guests choose to eat it." The dessert is double skin milk, which is just right to relieve the greasy, and I will make another fruit bowl to put on the table, and choose the seasonal fruit to cut into pieces. ”

Lao Li Tou listened with relish and asked, "Have you thought about what the guests drink?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao replied: "There are tea shops on the market that are prepared, and there are ready-made wines, fruit wine, and liquor, and they are at will, and I will ask the guy in charge of reception to make a recommendation, but I will not force the guests to drink anything." ”

Some wayward chefs will match the corresponding drinks according to the dishes, and will also ask diners to order according to his recommendations, but Liu Jiaojiao doesn't want to do this, although she also knows that the chef's choice will definitely make diners get more dining experience, but now I won't tell you about the ancient times of respect and human rights, it's better to keep a low profile.

Lao Li Tou was very satisfied, thinking that the apprentice would be able to become a teacher after studying for a while, and Liu Jun was also very satisfied, on the one hand, the dishes were really delicious, and on the other hand, he felt honored.

The next night, Liu Jiaojiao used the herring fish bought by Lao Li Tou and the carp left over from the previous day to make all the other dishes.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the reception banquet.

Because the county confessed in advance, the sky of the Tianzihao box on the second floor came out, and Liu Jiaojiao also handed over most of the work at hand to Erhu, and she nervously began to prepare the whole fish feast.

The guys in the back kitchen are very energetic today, and they have long known that the little boss will make a whole fish feast for the new county commander today, so they all stretched their necks and watched the little boss sweat like rain, waiting for the dishes to be made.

In this isolated town, I have never heard of a restaurant or restaurant that can handle such a banquet with uniform ingredients, and as the guys of Qingxinfang, they suddenly feel extremely proud, and they can't wait to run out and show off to everyone.

Look at where the buddies work, it's not your average cowfork.

Including Erhu, they all unconsciously looked at Liu Jiaojiao in their free time for stir-frying, this is a good opportunity to learn, although I know that the little boss definitely has no time to guide him, but a few more glances is a few eyes, how much can he learn, which is definitely a great benefit for him in the future.

Liu Jiaojiao has already talked to him privately, and will hand over the kitchen of this Qingxinfang in the town to him, in order not to lose the face of the little boss, for the reputation accumulated by Qingxinfang, and in order to be worthy of her weight and such a high salary, he will definitely do his best to do a good job.

The new county order is estimated to have delayed time on the road, and it was not until the restaurant was about to close that the county official personally led the group in.

Liu San personally stepped forward to receive him, and after greeting him, he led everyone to the Tianzi box on the second floor, and after instructing the man to inform the back kitchen, he stood aside cautiously.

Originally, someone else was arranged to be responsible for the reception, but the child was too timid, for fear that he would be nervous at that time, and he was unwilling to live or die.

Fortunately, it was the parent official of the place where he was receiving him, and it was not inappropriate for him to accompany him personally.

In addition to the county Cheng and his two staff cronies, Liu Jun, who was the head catcher, as well as Liu Yuanwai and Boss Qian, the owner of the local money bank, plus the county magistrate and several cronies he brought with him, a total of ten people, just the basic number of people at a table.

As for the servants who came with him to take office, they had already been sent to pack their things, and ordinary people were not qualified to eat at the same table with their masters.

The twelve dishes were served on the table in turn, and the county commander Xie Ping'an's eyes lit up amazingly, and the light never went out.

As a fish-loving person, these dishes simply couldn't be better.

It's a standard whole fish feast! He hasn't eaten it a few times in the capital!

It's not that he can't afford to eat, but this kind of banquet is complicated, and the chef has high requirements, and he is a mouthful, but if one of the dishes is not to his taste, he will not go to that restaurant at all, so he has eaten a lot of whole fish banquets, but he can fully meet his requirements no more than three times.

But today he thinks he might be able to increase the number to four.

If it weren't for his identity and the other people around him, he would have wanted to use his chopsticks to taste the first dish when it was served.

After Liu San gave a brief description of the names of the twelve dishes, the approximate ingredients, and the taste, the county Cheng smiled and said, "My lord, this Qingxinfang is the most famous restaurant in our place, not only does it taste good, but the dishes are quite special, you have to try it." ”

Xie Pingwei nodded calmly, but Zhu Zhen, a henchman on the side, had already seen that he couldn't hold it anymore, and he didn't speak because he was shaking his momentum at all, but because he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, his saliva would not help but flow down, and he would be embarrassed and thrown home.

He has long been accustomed to his son-in-law's fish-loving character, so he helped him play a round and said: "My son-in-law occasionally feels cold on the road, so his throat is a little uncomfortable. ”

It stands to reason that even if a staff member is important, he can't speak directly for his master, the county Cheng and the others glanced at Xie Ping'an without a trace, and found that his face did not change at all, and nodded, and immediately echoed, but in their hearts they wrote down Zhu Zhen.

can have such treatment in front of the master, it seems that this staff is not generally trusted, and you have to be polite to this person in the future.

Liu San accompanied him intimately, and at the same time did not forget to explain the dishes in a humorous and witty tone, as well as recommend what tea and what wine is best for everyone to drink.

Xie Ping'an ate very refreshingly, he ate every dish, and he couldn't find anything he was dissatisfied with at all, and suddenly made friends with the chef today, and after swallowing the strong fish skin in his mouth, he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and asked: "This is the most comfortable whole fish banquet I have ever eaten in my life, can I trouble the little brother to spread the word and let the official meet the chef?" ”

Liu San was stunned, and almost immediately set his eyes on Liu Jun.

The guys in Qingxinfang all know that Liu Jiaojiao's chef is a secret that is only known internally, and it is not allowed to be passed on, and those guests who want to see the chef in the past have been blocked, but it is the parents who speak today, can this face be refuted?
