During that time, most of Ren Yan was observing the yellow croaker. It is not the season when the yellow croaker is plump, and it is not often very handy.

The size should not be too big, it will not taste very good, and the meat will not be fresh enough; Smaller fish are too thin, and the skin is easily broken and the bones cannot be extracted.

Need less than two catties, and not less than a catty and a half, most of the time is a basket of lively fish to carry, and then called the original to carry out, can not pick out a few good looks.

Therefore, whenever there is a suitable yellow croaker, she will cherish it extraordinarily, ask someone to raise it, and if there is nothing to do, she will lie on the edge of the fish tank to observe, and in the end she will not know the appearance of this fish.

Her magic is for the length and width of the fish's body, the position of the chest and abdomen, and the number of fish backbones and ribs.

I saw the same, fished the fish on the cutting board, evenly scraped the scales to remove the gills, kept the complete appearance of the fish body, and opened the gills to clean the belly of the fish.

The knife goes along the edge of the knife, and the work of cutting the spine must not touch the skin of the fish on the other side; Then the blade of the knife is flattened along the broken backbone of the fish to the tail of the fish, the entire spine is inferred, and then the knife is out of the ribs.

After pushing the fish bones on both sides, pinch the fish head and push it up, and the fish body is staggered downward, revealing the entire fish bone, and all the fish bones are pulled out.

When the bones are removed, the broth is simmered on the stove to be poured into the belly of the fish. Finely ground bird's nest and abalone cucumber, scallop and skirt, with chicken, duck and ham mushroom paste to create a tea-like broth.

The simmered mushroom shoots are poured into the belly of the fish along with the broth, and the potato flour coated with egg white is immediately sealed on the knife, and the fish is fried in hot oil and served on a plate with a properly prepared sauce.

The soup is all sealed in the belly of the fish, and the tender white fish meat is sandwiched to realize that there is a hole in this place; The clear soup is wrapped in fresh and mellow mushroom bamboo shoots poured out, which is the finished product splashing ink landscape, and the movement is suitable.

Ren Yan has practiced for more than ten days, and he can vaguely become a look, but he always feels that it is a fake trick; When he came to the guild competition, he had no time to care about Gu Du Liren's moves, and only paid attention to the work under his hands.

Mai Fenghui gave her a hand, but he could pay attention to the difference between the two, picked up the messy notebook of her writing, and could remember the details clearly, and handed it over to him when he was done.

"Master Ren's craft, even if he loses today, it is the glory of our generation." He had to admire this girl's ability.

Ren Yan smiled and thanked him, and looked at it one by one: "Is it so much?" You can feel the difference without looking at the appearance! ”

Mai Fenghui shook his head: "Master Ren's talent is very good, but the experience of being a chef is also extremely important, and Master Du's age has an advantage, so you can't be in a hurry."

Ren Yan looked to the opposite side, Du Liren was surrounded by the apprentices like the moon, appreciating the extremely beautiful ink painting; He turned his gaze over and stared at Mai Fenghui behind her.

"You go first." Ren Yan spoke in a low voice, and continued to look at the people who commented on the committee quietly.

"Okay."

Filling the soup with yellow croaker was undoubtedly Du Liren's victory, and he turned to Ren Yan after accepting the beautiful words: "My nephew is really beyond my expectations, I really earn face for your master!"

It's not a dim sum trick, what kind of face is earned? Du Shibo has great skills, and his skills in scolding quietly are not bad.

Ren Yan bowed and smiled: "Uncle Shi praised, thanks to your careful guidance, I dare not live up to your expectations."

The sword light and sword shadow were lifted up in an instant.

Du Liren didn't go around the bend with her, and mocked in a low voice: "That person is Mai Fenghui, if someone knows that the Seventh Master is hiding a thug who assassinates important people......"

Ren Yan pretended to look back: "Who do you say?" Mai Fenghui died when you were serving the food that day, you came and went to his front and back feet, the master should not have hit the evil, the person is gone, and he still circles around you! ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Gu Du Liren's blue face, turned around and left. She is not afraid of gods and demons, it doesn't mean that Du Liren is not afraid either, who doesn't have a ghost in her heart?

Du Liren sneered behind him: "Senior nephew, don't disappoint people!"

"Don't worry!"

"He found me." Mai Fenghui stood in the corner at the end of the corridor, his face not very good.

"No, it's just doubt."

Ren Yan pushed open the door of the room, and Senior Brother Yang was taking the two junior brothers to cut side dishes for her, greeted her, and carried the dishes to the hall where they were discussing.

Mai Fenghui smiled and said: "In the next few decades, I am afraid that I will have to live like this, afraid that people will see me, and I am afraid that others will not see me."

Ren Yan disagreed: "I am now bearing the name of your master, and people outside don't care about the surname of my female chef's apprentice and where he came from." As the days go by, maybe sooner or later there will be a turnaround? ”

Will her turnaround be today?

Only the last plate of the three major dishes remains, the money shrimp box, which is a Cantonese dish; And Du Liren's is the way of herring bald lungs, Huaiyang cuisine.

My mother was a native of Cantonese, but in order to please her husband, she gradually abandoned the taste of her hometown, and the more she cooked, the more she looked like Beijing cuisine, and there were not many Cantonese dishes that could be taught to Ren Yan.

The money shrimp box was made by Ren Yan on a temporary idea, and he took the mushrooms and bamboo shoots of this season, as well as the prawns that he looked at when he was at the Gu family banquet last time and made the filling; It also imitates the egg yolk meat filling of Huaiyang vegetables, and mixes it together.

She is an apprentice of the white case, and the competition is naturally less than the white case kung fu; What kind of embryonic skin is good for such filling, she has tried fried petals, soft pine cabbage leaves, but she is not very satisfied.

I don't want to deal with it with ordinary embryo skin, so doesn't it become a bend comb dumpling? So when she tried the dishes, Mak Fenghui gave her a suggestion: "Try the poultry box?"

"It's ......"

Mai Fenghui gestured a finger-sized circle: "Bird Luo is a kind of spider in my hometown, and the silk ball where Bird Luo stores eggs is the Bird Luo box, round, almost this big?"

Ren Yan listened to the creep: "Is it poisonous?"

The girl's family should be afraid of insects, snakes, rats and ants, and Mai Fenghui smiled embarrassedly: "There should be none."

What do you think?

Ren Yan looked at him desperately: "Where to find the poultry box, you point the way, I'll go and touch it!"

Mai Fenghui waved his hand again and again: "I didn't mean that, I was looking for pig skin fat to cut out the appearance of a poultry box, wrapping the stuffing you adjusted into it, and pasting it on the opposite side."

Ren Yan probably understood what he meant: "It's like that crisp box, fried in the oil pan after pasting?"

"Yes."

A layer of fat under the skin of the pig's back, so fast that two pieces of weak cicada wings are sliced, soaked in wine and cut into half-finger-wide and narrow slices, wrapped in the filling, so that the potato flour mixed with clear water fits, and fried into a shrimp box like a silver dollar in the oil pan.

In order to approximate the taste of Cantonese cuisine, the fat is soaked in rose wine, and the filling is filled with Cantonese-unique pipa fruit, which is crushed into grains.

After frying, the embryonic skin that has faded the oil rarely reveals the appearance of the ice skin, and the orange-red egg yolk crushed and the emerald green coriander powder in the filling appear from the pink and white embryonic skin, which is gentle and spicy after the willow and dark flowers, and is delicious.

When he made it again, Ren Yan was overjoyed and gave a thumbs up: "Master Mai, you really have an idea, it's this!"

"Not to my credit." Mai Fenghui led her to look at the wooden jars in her own yard, "These poultry Luo I raised, these round boxes are for poultry eggs, and they don't look like the shrimp boxes made by Master Ren?" ”

Ren Yan pulled his legs and left, without looking at the gadgets he regarded as treasures, and wondered in his heart that he would not touch the poultry and shrimp boxes again when the discussion was over...... Don't want that name!

She is a layman, she only recognizes the ocean, and she meditates hard to change the name of the money shrimp box to the appearance of the shrimp box, as for the poultry Luo......

To hell with it!

Until the matter of the discussion was over, when the shrimp box was fried, Ren Yan's backbone was still cold.

Mai Fenghui didn't want to go, stretched the chopsticks for her, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry!"

"You'd better shut up!" Ren Yan avoids him far away, it is not easy to be a female chef, and now he is ten percent.

Mai Fenghui smiled, retreated behind her, and observed the herring bald lung made by Du Liren for her.

The big black herring at the mouth of the Yangtze River is called the fatty fish liver taken alive, and there are enough 20 fish to make a dish. To remove the cod liver, you have to hook off the black lines on both sides little by little, and wash it repeatedly to remove the fishy smell.

The fish liver is tender, next to the fish gallbladder, it is not easy to take it out, and it is necessary to keep it neat and tidy when frying, and it is estimated that only the master master dares to stop the porcelain work.

Ren Yan doesn't want to see this uncle, but after all, he admires others, and the red desk leader is worthy of his reputation.

"If you lose, you will be convinced today." Ren Yan handed over the money shrimp box and turned to see Du Liren's craftsmanship.

Mai Fenghui returned the notebook to her: "If it doesn't work, it can't be done." ”

"How?"

She was curious, twisted her face and touched it twice, she didn't understand what it meant, the cod liver was in the pot and the marinade was golden, sweet and fat, and it already had an excellent appearance before it was cooked.

Mai Fenghui gestured back: "When you didn't come just now, the master trained the apprentice, a man loses his dignity in front of people, and sooner or later he will have a seizure." ”

"Isn't this master and apprentice coming to an end?"

Mai Fenghui sighed: "Sooner or later, I heard a few years ago that my master and uncle treated his apprentices harshly, and it is not easy for him to endure it until now." ”

It's not easy, after a quarter of an hour, Ren Yan will see it thoroughly.

The former new junior brother broke out like crazy, shouting big smoke in his mouth, causing evil, hysterically breaking into the master of the review committee, and overturning the herring bald lungs.

His strength was amazing, and it happened suddenly, and no one had time to clean it up.

"He seasoned poppy seeds in the marinade, which can grow a big tobacco paste, fresh and fresh, but it is a harmful thing that kills people."

Du Liren sneered: "Poppy seeds are non-toxic, and the basic skills of the chef are up to the heels!" ”

"Poppy seeds are non-toxic, but where did Master Du get such a thing? How long has Beijing been smoking banned, shouldn't Master Du still grow poppies with his family? ”

This is an important thing, and if you get it, you can't get rid of the trouble, and many masters have secretly used it in the soup, some to enhance the flavor, and some just to meet the special needs of the guests.

Who doesn't understand whom, but they can't get the evidence, and they just turn a blind eye. It's not like blatantly revealing it now, that's another matter.

A good discussion, so that it is inexplicably suspended and ended hastily; A police officer came to interrogate and leave a confession, and everyone was silent.

At night, the Chefs' Guild called the ban lifted.

In the three competitions, Du Liren lost two, and the competition ended with Ren Yan winning.

Gu Tingwen stood far away, watching her surrounded by reporters like the moon, and beckoned to He Quan: "Withdraw!" ”

"You're not proposing to Miss Ren anymore?"

He smiled: "There is no rush for this time. ”

When she shines brightly, no one can take her glory.

At the beginning of her mother's grave, he begged: "Mother, please bless Rouge, may she have a prosperous journey!" ”
