Chapter 46: Ingredients
At today's dinner invited by Bai Ruili, the main dishes displayed by the boss of Liubiju were all Huaiyang cuisine.
Therefore, this guy who is traveling and cooking at the same time must have gone to the southeast recently.
And as a restaurant owner who is only open three days a month, the owner of Liubiju will definitely use the best ingredients to entertain his guests.
The so-called best raw materials, there are two possibilities, one is the most tender, and the other is that the origin of the material is the main one.
To sum up, as long as you know enough about the aquatic production areas in the southeast region, then you will naturally know the boss's course of action.
…… Speaking of these, Li Chuanshui said to his future father-in-law in detail: "The ingredients used in these three dishes are not complicated, but Shih Tzu tongue, carp, and silver carp are just ......."
But to say that the best Shih Tzu tongue, the best carp, and the best silver carp, in the southeast of Nagada, only Zhoushan, West Lake, and Fuchun River are famous.
In this regard, Li Chuanshui also swore that he had heard early on that if he wanted to find the best shellfish and seafood, he would have to go to Zhoushan and Hainan.
Among these two sea fishing grounds, Zhoushan is the only large-scale fishing ground in the eastern part of China, and the main four famous fish are "large and small yellow croaker, hairtail fish and cuttlefish". The reason why so many fresh aquatic products can be produced is also inseparable from the abundant local bait and shellfish.
Therefore, the same name as the "four big fish" in Zhoushan is the "four big shells" in Zhoushan, and among these four shells, the clams represented by "Shih Tzu tongue" are impressively listed.
As for the famous dish of West Lake, vinegared fish, his main ingredients are narrower and his origin is more bizarre.
This dish is said to have been invented by the fifth sister-in-law of the Song Dynasty during the Two Song Dynasty.
This fifth sister-in-law of the Song Dynasty, according to legend, is a cook who is both beautiful and artistic, and during the Jingkang period, she fled to the West Lake because of the Jin soldiers' southward movement.
When she arrived at the West Lake, Song Wu's sister-in-law and her husband were separated and came to the West Lake alone.
So according to this tradition, if you want to eat authentic West Lake vinegar fish, you must cook it with fresh carp from West Lake, the vinegar must be Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, and even the ingredients must be local products.
"So ......" Li Chuanshui nodded to Bai Ruili while tasting the unique fragrance of the vinegared fish: "Three feet white in the carp in the West Lake!" Freshly killed fish! There are traces of a hook on the mouth, and what about the ...... that was caught."
After saying the two dishes, Li Chuanshui pointed to the two very hot and rotten braised silver carp heads, and said with a smile: "Silver carp grows well in warm water, so such a good silver carp must be produced in the southeast, where the water temperature and climate are suitable for the growth of silver carp." The best is produced in Fuchunjiang! ”
The moment Li Chuanshui finished saying these comments, Bai Ruili's heart also suddenly realized.
But suddenly, he asked curiously, "Is this...... How do you know that he went to Zhoushan first, then to West Lake, and then to Fuchun River? ”
"This ......" Li Chuanshui thought for a moment, and then replied, "Judging by the freshness of the ingredients."
"Huh?!" Bai Ruili was stunned when he heard this: "You can eat it with freshness?!"
When asked, Li Chuanshui nodded very indifferently and said: "This is natural, you can eat it naturally if you eat carefully......"
Later, Li Chuanshui told Bai Ruili that his three dishes were the freshest silver carp, followed by carp, and Shih Tzu tongue.
Among them, Shih Tzu's tongue should have been chilled with ice cubes, although the carp is fresh, but because it has fallen out for a long time, the wound is a little inflamed, so the owner of the fish has added a trace of potassium permanganate to the tank to disinfect, as for the last silver carp, it is basically a live fish killed an hour ago, and the fish body has no taste of disinfected water.
To sum up, Li Chuanshui made some speculation about the itinerary of the owner of the Liubiju restaurant according to the freshness of the ingredients, and the results of the speculation were ...... Naturally, Bai Ruili was stunned and even shocked.
Before sitting here for dinner, Bai Ruili talked to the owner of this restaurant, and the owner once told himself that when he went out to "travel shopping" last month, he first went to Zhoushan, because he saw a boat of "mixed shells" was very good, so he bought it for 12,000.
During this time, he asked the fishermen to sort out the best twelve boxes of shellfish, and overnight they were sent back to the hotel on ice, and the Shih Tzu tongue they eat today is one of the twelve boxes of shellfish.
After getting shellfish, the boss heard that the West Lake had a fishing competition, so he was idle, and went to the West Lake to fish, and then this guy like the old naughty boy didn't know what shit luck he had, and he actually caught a big carp weighing three feet eight pounds in the West Lake, and won the gold medal with this fish.
After getting all this, the boss of Liubiju considered that there were still a few days before the hotel opened, so he went to the beautiful Fuchun River to have a ride.
However, it is helpless that in the Fuchun River at this time, all kinds of fish and aquatic products are not fat, so after taking a turn on the beautiful Fuchun River, the boss only collected five silver carp that could barely enter his eyes in the "Qilitaki".
These experiences coincide with what Li Chuanshui said, how can this not surprise Bai Ruili?!
Faintly, Bai Ruili had to pay attention to the kid in front of him, at least he suddenly understood that what Li Chuanshui said was not wrong, in this "eating", there was indeed a university question.
Slightly silent, Bai Ruili said to Li Chuanshui, who was chewing slowly on the table: "Xiaochuan, I'm a person who is in a hurry, so I don't want to hide anything from you, before I came, I told Su Su a promise."
"Isn't it ......" Li Chuanshui put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then hurriedly said: "If I can earn 10 million in three months, you will agree to Su Su dating me?!"
"That's right!" Bai Ruili nodded and said, "This promise is very earthy and powerful, but it is very effective......"
Since he said it, Bai Ruili also bluntly said to Li Chuanshui that he did not agree with him and Bai Susu before, the main reason was that he was worried about Li Chuanshui's character and ability, and the direct way to prove his ability was to run his own business well.
Therefore, Bai Ruili asked again: "Xiaochuan! Now is a commodity society, it is no longer the era of fighting and killing, and Bai Susu is a big girl, if you can't earn money, it will be difficult to give her happiness! ”
Listening to Bai Ruili's cruel and cold words, Li Chuan nodded expressionlessly and agreed, "I understand, uncle."
"It's good to understand!" Bai Ruili nodded, and then said: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you too much......"
