Chapter 27: Conquer Your Stomach First
Just after half past one o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Sutou pointed the way, and two cars and eight people came to the Lujia restaurant.
Lu Zhan wore a chef's uniform and wore an apron to go out to greet him, "It's all here! Wait a minute, the food will be ready soon." ”
"Brother Lu, you go and get busy, you don't have to worry about us. As long as the whole fish is delicious, it is better than anything else. ”
Old Su Tou was happy.
Lu Zhan quickly glanced at the eight people in this line, some old and some young, and the youngest was in his early twenties.
Looking at the words and deeds of this group of people, they dress up and have very different styles, and they are obviously not a family. This is the person who Lao Su Tou put together temporarily.
Lao Su Tou seemed to know what Lu Zhan was thinking, and said to Lu Zhan: "They are all people in the group of friends, everyone is delicious, and they make friends because of deliciousness, which can be regarded as like-minded." ”
Lu Zhan understood, he smiled and said, "Old Man Su, all the guests who have come from afar, you can sit for a while and take a sip of tea." The fish will be ready in no time. ”
It's actually very fast to make fish, but to be honest, there are not many people who can make fish delicious.
Many chefs who stir-fry delicious dishes can't make a single piece of fish.
But Lu Zhan is confident that he can do a good job.
Fish is fresh.
Lu Zhan sat on a small stool and cut the fish himself. With Lu Zhan's knife work, the fish cutter hand is captured.
Led by hackers, Cotton, and Gourd Babies all stared at Lu Zhan's hands...... in the fish.
Three, six pairs of eyes, staring intently. Looking at the fresh fish, they died in the hands of Lu Zhan in a blink of an eye, and they will soon become a meal on the plate.
They also have their lunches in there.
The three of them are now smart, they don't eat raw, they have to eat cooked, and they have to be made by Lu Zhan.
The food cooked by Lu Mingyu could no longer enter the eyes of the three.
After cutting the fish and cleaning it, Lu Zhan carried the fish into the kitchen, picked up the spatula, and prepared today's whole fish feast.
Lao Sutou trusted his cooking skills and deliberately took his friends in the group to take care of his business, so he naturally had to take out all the things.
Lu Zhan made fish for the first time in his life, he was calm and relaxed, not in a hurry, but his hand movements were not delayed at all.
All kinds of seasonings and side dishes are ready.
Turn on two pots at the same time, one for fish head tofu soup and one for homemade fish. After that, there are also watercress crucian carp and sauerkraut fish.
Lu Mingyu gave Lu Zhan a hand, helped hand the dishes and chopsticks, and cut some onions and garlic sprouts.
Lu Mingyu was a little worried, "Lu Zhan, okay?"
Cooking fish is not the same as stir-frying, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. Otherwise, the fish will be difficult to swallow and ruin people's appetites.
Lu Zhan's expression was calm, "Mom, you go outside to greet me, I'm okay here, I can do it." ”
Seeing Lu Zhan's confident appearance, Lu Mingyu didn't make trouble for him, "Okay, I'll go out to say hello." You slow down. ”
Lu Zhan smiled, you can't be slow to make fish. If it is slow, it will lose the umami of the fish, and it will taste like biting the old gang's vegetables.
In the lobby, eight people sat down.
The young man with the online name Sesame Cake is only twenty-four or five years old, and he looks calm and atmospheric.
Everyone in the group thought that he was a small employee of the company, but only Lao Sutou knew that this was the second generation of real wealth, richer than everyone here. The tallest commercial building in Tang City was developed by his family.
Sesame cake is low-key, never showy, and the clothes and food are ordinary, so everyone doesn't see his hidden rich second-generation identity.
This leaves the network, and everyone is known by their real names.
The real name of the sesame cake is Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen asked, "Old man Su, this restaurant doesn't look good!"
Lu's restaurant, just looking at the appearance, is really not good. It is a common community family restaurant.
Old man Su said: "The master is in the people. If you really want to say that it is delicious, it is still this kind of small shop hidden in a small alley, and the taste is authentic. ”
"Not necessarily. Over the years, I have also eaten a lot of small street shops, and there are not many that can be called delicious. ”
The middle-aged man with the screen name Sauerkraut Fish and his real name Li Changfu said.
Zhou Chen nodded, "It is said that the chefs of star-rated hotels are like goods, and that is because they cook a large amount every day, and not every dish will be made by themselves." If you really want to be serious, the craftsmanship of the chef of a star-rated hotel is not comparable to this kind of small hotel owner. ”
Li Changfu followed and said: "Don't talk about cooking, just talk about ingredients, this kind of small restaurant can't compare to a big restaurant." ”
Old Su Tou smiled, "It's too early to draw conclusions, you can taste Brother Lu's craftsmanship in a while, and then make a comment." I promise I won't let you down. ”
We'll see.
For the first course, home-cooked fish is served.
Lao Sutou beckoned everyone, "Hurry up and try Brother Lu's craftsmanship." ”
Everyone stretched out their chopsticks and aimed their hands at the fish on the plate.
Take a bite of fish first, one word: fresh!
Two words: fresh and tender!
The fishy smell is completely covered, leaving only the deliciousness of the fish.
Take another bite of the side dishes, which are dominated by sour cowpeas.
The sour cowpeas are just right.
The eight of them looked at each other, then nodded in unison. This can be regarded as a recognition of Lu Zhan's cooking skills.
Old Su Tou and Yourongyan, "I have long said that Brother Lu's cooking skills are fine, how about it?"
Zhou Chen said: "Yes! The heat is just right, the fish is delicious, and the side dishes are refreshing." I don't know how the next few dishes will taste. ”
The second course, sauerkraut fish.
The eight people had a tacit understanding, and first aimed at the fish's belly and chopsticks.
The fish is tender and slippery!
Taste the sauerkraut again, the sauerkraut is cut evenly and slender, and the knife work must not be picky. I just don't know that the taste is as good as the previous sour cowpeas?
In the sauerkraut entrance, there is only one feeling: sour!
Zhou Chen found that the sauerkraut in the Lu family's restaurant was really a must. Those who like to eat sauerkraut will definitely not miss it. It's even more popular than this fish.
Everyone is a glutton, and delicious fish can often be eaten, but sauerkraut soaked deliciously is not often eaten.
Tangcheng people, whether you live in a bungalow of a few hundred yuan a month, or live in an elevator room of 20,000 yuan per square meter, everyone has one thing in common, there will definitely be a kimchi jar at home.
Buy some vegetables every few days and soak them in the jar. If you want to eat a little crispy, then pick it up the next day. If you want to eat softer and more sour, then soak it for a longer time.
It is precisely because of everyone's love for sourness that everyone is becoming more and more picky about sauerkraut.
Sauerkraut is delicious and easy to make, but it is not easy to make well.
Some people have made dishes for a lifetime, but they can't make a jar of sauerkraut.
Just like Zhou Chen's house, there were a few cooks before and after, stir-frying, steaming, seafood, seasonal side dishes, everything. But I can't make a jar of delicious sauerkraut.
Sauerkraut is not eye-catching, but it is an indispensable dish in the life of Tangcheng people, and it is a food culture in Tangcheng.
People have a deep love for sauerkraut, no matter how experts and scholars advocate that eating too much sauerkraut can cause cancer, it still can't stop people from loving sauerkraut.
However, it is not easy to eat the best sauerkraut.
Many, many sauerkraut fish ended up in a bowl of sauerkraut.
So much so that many restaurants have canceled the dish of sauerkraut fish, and only make simple and quick dishes such as home-cooked fish and boiled fish fillet.
Zhou Chen picked up a slice of sauerkraut and put it in his mouth, looking satisfied. It's not that he brags, just relying on Brother Lu's sauerkraut, he can eat three bowls of rice.
"Boss, let's eat!"
