Chapter 101: Did He Really Say That?
After getting Zhang Hao's approval, Sun Zhaoguo was invited to the table.
After Zhang was seated, the waiter served cold dishes of different shapes.
"First of all, thank you Mr. Zhang for your kind invitation to let us come to Jinling to prepare for tonight's banquet for everyone..."
Sun Zhaoguo first said two words, and then took a plate from the waiter's hand and said, "The next thing I want to present to all the distinguished guests is today's first plate, black and white caviar."
This caviar is made from the highest grade of Belga fish, and only eggs laid by mature Belga fish over 60 years old are eligible to make Belga caviar.
As a result, there are very few fish eligible for caviar production, less than 100 per year. ”
With that, he brought the plate containing caviar to Zhang Hao.
The rest of the waiters also brought caviar to Shen Weiwei and others.
Zhang Hao looked at the plate sent by Sun Zhaoguo.
The dish on the plate is quite simple, just a box full of caviar and a shell spoon.
Sun Zhaoguo smiled at this time and said, "Distinguished guests, I will go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes in the back next, and I will be absent for a while." ”
Zhang Hao nodded towards him: "Thank you." ”
After Sun Zhaoguo left, the waiters who stayed in the restaurant also retreated to a position where they could observe the situation of several people without disturbing their handover.
"Brother Hao, this is a real high-quality product!" Li He picked up a spoonful of caviar and said, "The surface is round, the color is translucent, and it is very appetizing to look at!" ”
Zhang Yuanda also said: "The price of this caviar for 30g should be more than 1,800 yuan." ”
Looking at Zhang Yuanda, who put the caviar on the tiger's mouth, warmed the caviar with the temperature of the human body, and then swallowed it, Zhang Hao also ate a spoonful of caviar.
The cooking skills he got from Cao Xueqin made him sigh like a gourmand in his heart:
This caviar has a hint of fresh umami in its viscous texture, but the saltiness is very light, and there is no fishy smell at all.
If Lao Cao himself tastes this dish, I'm afraid he can't help but be amazed, right?
In this way, the price of 5,000 caviar seems to be not a loss?
After eating the caviar in Zhang Hao's box, the waiter stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you want another one?" ”
Zhang Hao: "??? ”
Can this caviar be refilled?
Immediately, he reacted again, it seems that Sun Zhaoguo and others will prepare several more of the same dishes when they undertake this kind of door-to-door banquet.
Ten minutes later, a waiter walked into the restaurant with the soup:
"This dish is crocodile tail stew, because I noticed that the guests were drinking, so the soup was served to warm everyone's stomach. Although crocodile is a rare ingredient, it has high nutritional value and taste, making it a soup for both men and women. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Weiwei and the four of them looked at Zhang Hao in unison.
Zhang Hao, who took a sip of whiskey, asked, "What do you see, eating?" ”
Shen Weiwei said: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that you also made a roasted crocodile for us to eat last time." ”
Li He arched the fire and said: "Brother Hao, I don't know who will be better between the crocodile you roasted and the crocodile soup of the chef at the state banquet?" ”
Zhang Hao said disapprenously: "Do you still need to ask?" I want to have the ability of Sun Chef, can't I earn this money myself? ”
With that, he took the lead in drinking the crocodile soup that the waiter had served.
After putting down the soup bowl, Zhang Hao commented: "This soup is good, there are a lot of accessories, but it does not cover up the umami of the crocodile soup itself, and it is also very good to remove the fish." ”
"It's delicious!" Zhang Yuanda also said after tasting it, "But Brother Hao, in addition to abalone, fish maw and pigeon eggs, I don't see other accessories?" ”
Zhang Hao explained: "I estimate that this soup is based on the Cantonese method, first using crocodile bones as the base, and then adding various auxiliary ingredients to boil the soup together, and then extract the original soup after all the ingredients are turned into slag."
After that, ingredients such as crocodile tail and abalone are added to the original soup and boiled twice. ”
Zhang Yuanda praised: "In terms of food, it has to be Brother Hao!" I don't know anything other than eating. ”
Tasted it last time. \./Hand\./Machine\./Version\./None\./Error\./First\./Hair~~ (The next page is more exciting!) )
After Zhang Hao's craftsmanship, he was extremely convinced of Zhang Hao's cooking skills, and naturally he would not doubt Zhang Hao's judgment.
Li He asked curiously: "Brother Hao, what other accessories do you think are added to the soup?" ”
"This soup base, you can understand it as a simplified version of the clear soup Buddha jumping over the wall." Zhang Hao said, "In addition to seafood such as scallops, there should also be herbs such as ginseng and angelica."
In addition, this soup smells a little bit of wine, and Sun Chef should have added Huadiao wine when marinating crocodiles and boiling soup. ”
Bai Zhou suddenly realized: "Ah, it turns out that this aroma is the fragrance of wine!" I didn't even drink it. ”
"This is normal because the sprinkle has completely evaporated during the soup boiling process." Zhang Hao pointed to the whiskey spill glass and said, "Moreover, the aroma of whisky in the air is also relatively strong, which inevitably makes the sense of smell error." ”
Bai Zhou said with a look of adoration: "I see, Zhang Hao, you are really knowledgeable." ”
"If you eat more, it's easier to tell." Zhang Hao said in Cao Xueqin's tone, "I don't know if this is a long-term illness." ”
Shen Weiwei glanced at him and said, "I really want to get this kind of disease." ”
Li He echoed: "Yes, Brother Hao, the epic Versailles!" ”
"You're not professional." Zhang Yuanda complained, "You only know Brother Honghong, but I'm already taking notes." ”
Seeing that he had become the target of the fire, Zhang Hao then quipped: "Okay, I won't tease you, in fact, Chef Sun showed me the menu in advance, and I read it from the book." ”
"Haha!"
The few people who were immersed in laughter didn't notice that the apprentices who came to the restaurant to listen to their feedback on the dish couldn't help but show a shocked expression on their faces.
After a while, Sun Zhaoguo, who was in the back kitchen, couldn't help but take off the chef's hat on his head: "Did he really say that?" ”
"Master, word for word!" His apprentice nodded hurriedly, "When I heard Mr. Zhang say this, the whole person froze!"
I didn't even have time to ask what they thought of this dish, so I came back to report to you as soon as possible! ”
"Mr. Zhang's mouth is not inferior to many well-known gourmets!" Sun Zhaoguo praised from the bottom of his heart, "Xiao Yan, you still go to the restaurant to keep an eye on it, if Mr. Zhang is not satisfied with any dish, report to me in time!" ”
Xiao Yan said with a serious face: "Understood, Master! ”
Sun Zhaoguo put on his chef's hat, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, you go first, I'll prepare the next dish." ”
At this time, his mood is not just as simple as receiving a table of distinguished customers, but like participating in a food competition, about to accept the judges' comments. No \./Wrong \./More\./New '.w'.a'.p'.'.'.c'.o'.m.
