Chapter 85: The Squirrel and the Carp (Part II)

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Ruixue's eyes were fixed on the cook who was sitting steadily on the stone bench with a small teapot as soon as he came in. Ruixue noticed him as soon as he entered the door. He is not like other cooks, those cooks are still pacing with excitement or nervousness in their eyes, he is very calm, even the apprentice just now deliberately bumped into Chen Mao, ridiculing Chen Mao so much that he could not attract his attention. He just sat quietly with the small teapot in his hand.

Following Mrs. Song for a while, she understood. The more calm a person is, the bigger he comes, and the more he cannot be despised against.

When the man ran to him and called Master, and saw Chen Mao's suddenly pale face, Rui Xue knew that this was the chef Gao Shengfeng of the Retranslation Building that Chen Mao had told him.

He also makes fish today!

Such a formidable opponent! Chen Mao is in danger.

They didn't come to perform this time, but they had to let Chen Mao be selected.

Now she's skeptical. Can Chen Mao do it?

Gao Shengfeng raised his head, saw Chen Mao, was slightly stunned, and then stood up with a smile: "You are here too." I heard that you have gone to Lemin Building now. Which master are you following today? ”

Chen Mao saw that Gao Shengfeng did not expose himself in front of everyone, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and bowed and called: "Master Gao." Today I am coming by myself. ”

The man looked at Chen Mao mockingly, stretched out his hand and pretended to dust Chen Mao: "There is really no one in Lemin Building, call you over." ”

The apprentices around Chen Mao immediately laughed.

Chen Mao didn't know how to refute for a while.

Gao Shengfeng's calm face finally showed a ripple, he didn't stop his apprentice's ignorance, but looked at Chen Mao again, and did not hide the surprise in his eyes: "You are the master of Lemin Building?" ”

Chen Mao replied honestly: "No, it's still in the apprenticeship. Master Wang has something to do today, so he asked me to replace him. ”

The man continued to laugh and said, "Do you know what it is today? Your master of Lemin Building is really relieved to call you over. ”

The apprentices laughed even more.

Chen Mao noticed that although the apprentices of the Retranslation Building were mocking him, their eyes burst with pride. If they just came to the Governor's Mansion to cook, the people who retranslated the building, especially Gao Shengfeng, would not say nothing, and Han Jin would not be proud and arrogant.

Suddenly, Chen Mao remembered that day in Shensongju, Han Jin said that he was going to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion to perform for the Wanshou Festival, and then thought about such a big scene today. He looked at the people around him in surprise, and through them, he looked at Ruixue.

It is to prepare for the performance of Halloween.

Such a big thing, Master Wang asked him to come! What a great opportunity to cook for the emperor!

Gao Shengfeng saw Chen Mao's thoughts from Chen Mao's uncertain complexion. But in his heart, he was surprised by the decision made by Lemin Building, what he couldn't understand was that even if that Master Wang had something, it was impossible to have something on this day; He even sent an apprentice who had not yet been a teacher out.

Is it Lemin Building's talents? He asked hesitantly, "Who are you talking about, Master Wang...... Is it the one who makes the meat swallows? ”

Chen Mao said respectfully: "Exactly." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the courtyard suddenly fell silent. At least Rui Xue felt that the few cooking classmates around Chen Mao had no mocking laughter.

Meat swallow has become synonymous with Wang Jiuzhi. All the chefs in Nanjing City know that a chef who makes meat in Lotus Bridge is the best restaurant in Nanjing. Everyone doesn't know what his name is, only that he has great cooking skills. Since his appearance, there have been fewer opportunities for cooks from other families, including those from the Retranslation Building, to go to the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries to cook banquets.

Gao Shengfeng really wanted to see what Master Wang was like who made meat and made meat swallows. But that Master Wang rarely made a face, and he had never seen that person. He thought that he finally had a chance to compete with the surnamed Wang today, but he did not come, but called an apprentice out.

Han Jin's surprise was only for a moment, and his long-term pride made him not bow his head to Chen Mao: "I don't think the person surnamed Wang dares to come." Some people, who usually show off their might, think that they are following the green onion, and they wilt when they arrive at the big noodle field. Chen Mao, the one surnamed Wang pulled you out as a substitute for the dead! ”

Others are in tune.

Rui Xue pursed her lips and called Chen Mao outside the circle: "Chen Mao, why don't you go and pick fish quickly, they are all picked by others, what do you do to cook?" How many times have I told you, it depends on the ingredients, you have to look at the ingredients, why can't you remember! If no one really came today, Dad wouldn't have called you over. You'll do it later, don't always embarrass me! After teaching Chen Mao a lesson, Rui Xue turned her gaze to the others again, threw a handful of garlic at Han Jin, and said, "Take the bad luck away." ”

Chen Mao was rescued by Rui Xue, he smiled at Rui Xue gratefully, and quickly put away his smile again: "Rui Xue, is it really for the Wanshou Festival today?" ”

Chen Mao was a little afraid to think about it. Master Wang would actually give this matter to him, he ......

Rui Xue knew that Chen Mao couldn't believe it, but now that he had arrived at the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, could he go? He can only do it, and Chen Mao can only succeed.

"Let's go and pick the fish. Didn't you say you wanted to be a squirrel carp? Rui Xue pushed Chen Mao.

Pots of fresh fish had already been placed on the desk, and the first-class steward said that the materials could be selected, and the apprentices rushed up to grab the best ingredients for their followers. Chen Mao couldn't let Rui Xue help her grab fish, so she could only roll up her sleeves and play by herself.

The apprentices fight for a good anchovy. There are only a few, but there are so many masters who make fish, there are really many monks and few porridges, and the fists are not hard, and they really can't choose things.

Chen Mao did not choose anchovies, Wang Jiu taught him the most common river fish in one yard color. There are fewer people on the side of the ordinary river fish basin, but because of the ordinary, there are many fish in a basin, and some of them have turned their bellies. Dead fish can't be wanted.

He took a fancy to a live carp, large and fat. Before he could reach out his hand, a strong force behind him dragged him to the back, and squeezed him in front of him.

"You!"

"Yikes. I'm sorry, it's all the monkeys who hit me, are you okay? Han Jin hurriedly pulled Chen Mao up and went to grab the fish.

At this time, the other apprentices of the retranslation building rushed in front of Chen Mao, picking carp and herring...... They also generously picked with other guys and stopped Chen Mao from the human wall.

When Chen Mao arrived at the fish basin, they chose all the good ones.

Han Jin looked worriedly at Chen Mao, who was worried about the few fish left: "I'll go and ask Master, if Master doesn't want it, I'll give it to you secretly?" He didn't wait for Chen Mao's answer, and ran to Gao Shengfeng with a smile: "Master, do you want to make saury or anchovy?" Isn't it the best time to eat this season? Steamed anchovy or bayonetfish"

Gao Shengfeng ignored Han Jin, he was still sitting, sipping his small teapot. He began to re-estimate Chen Mao. The people who appear here today are all going to perform for the Halloween Festival, and there is only one possibility to call Chen Maolai at this time, that is, this kid has real skills.

Gao Shengfeng took a sip of the tea from the small teapot, put down the teapot, tied an apron, and rolled up his sleeves.

"Master." Han Jin hurriedly followed behind and served, "Anchovy and saury are both good, what are you going to do?" I'll take care of it right away. "Let's not say that the anchovy will die if it drags the water, just now he has got the information, and the cold dishes have already begun to be served. The five taels of silver are still useful.

Gao Shengfeng glanced twice, pointed to the fat carp and said, "Be a squirrel carp." ”

"Master!" Han Jin called out in surprise, carp, the most unremarkable, how can you choose the saury or anchovy in the 'Yangtze River Three Fresh', the current anchovy tastes the most beautiful, and the master's Huadiao steamed anchovy is a must, how can you give it up.

Gao Shengfeng ignored him, and instead sharpened his knife.

Han Jin said unrelentingly, "Master." Look at other masters, everyone is rushing to ask for it, why do you want to make carp. ”

Gao Shengfeng glared at Han Jin, personally scooped up the carp raised in the pot, threw it on the ground, and slaughtered it neatly.

Looking at the unconventional carp, Chen Mao only felt that all hopes were dashed, such a big carp, how did he make a squirrel carp.

Let's take a look at other masters.

is also Master Zhu of the Retranslation Building, steaming anchovy with mi wine, which is Gao Shengfeng's specialty dish, but unfortunately, Gao Shengfeng deals with carp; The master directly opposite me made saury.

Master Wang said that the method of making saury is actually the same as anchovy, as long as the rice wine is steamed, it is best not to cut the fish into pieces. The master took the fillet and used tongs to pull out the spines of the swordfish. He was so quick to get the fillets that he couldn't see how he went under the knife.

Chen Mao couldn't help but sigh, he was really too bad.

Look at the master in front of the left who also deals with the knifefish, and it is also a fast knife, but it is cut obliquely from the back of the fish and cuts off the fish bones, and on the other side, it is an oil pot, and he wants to fry the knifefish? Can this kind of chopped saury still eat the original umami?

Some chefs choose not the precious saury and anchovies, but the fish that are very common on a daily basis. Two of them chose sea fish. Although there are people who eat sea fish in Nanjing, there are very few, because almost all of them are Dead Sea fish in Nanjing, and the taste is not delicious. One chose the season fish fillet, and the other chose the yellow croaker.

"Brother Chen." Rui Xue pulled Chen Mao. He kept watching the movements of others, forgetting that they hadn't picked even the most basic fish.

Chen Mao retracted his greedy eyes, those masters are the real chefs, and their actions are swift, and they are too bad compared to themselves.

"Do you still make squirrel carp?"

Chen Mao smiled bitterly: "What else to do?" Half a body is not enough. Could it be that I am playing with rats? Looking at Gao Shengfeng, who carved a chrysanthemum knife for the fish, Chen Mao felt that he couldn't do it, could he compare with Gao Shengfeng?

"What's so bad about that? You don't think it's better, it seems that you have good knife skills. On the contrary, Rui Xue felt that Chen Mao's idea of a group of rats frolicking was particularly good, "Mrs. Song often said that she wanted to come up with something new and attract people with a new one. Adults have long been accustomed to a fish when they see squirrels and carps, and now a group is not very novel? ”

Chen Mao was not sure at all: "No." Cooking is about eating the taste, and no matter how good it looks, it will be high and low in the mouth. I can't compare to Master Gao. ”

"So what do we do?" The two of them fell into deep thought again.

*

Three fresh fish of the Yangtze River: anchovy, saury, pufferfish. It's the season to eat anchovy and saury, but it's a pity...... Sky-high prices are not something we can enjoy.

The famous writer Zhang Ailing once said that there are three hatreds in the rest of her life, one hates anchovies and spiny; Second, the hatred of begonias has no fragrance; The three hatreds of the Red Chamber are not finished.

Season fish: Some say it's another name for crucian carp, some say it's grouper. Anyway, it is suitable for stir-fried fish fillets.
