"This is a mandarin fish?!" Zhou Yun blinked, staring at the dish on the table, with a surprised expression on his face.

No matter how you look at it, this dish is so similar to a squirrel.

As a food judge, he had seen a lot of strangely presented dishes, but this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

You must know that the size of fish and squirrels has nothing to do with each other, but what kind of plating can connect the two?

Compared with Zhou Yun, Zhou Qing is much calmer.

Although he was equally surprised at first sight, after a closer look, he was very familiar with fish, and he quickly saw the clues.

"This squirrel head is made from the small fin behind the fish's head?" Zhou Qing bowed slightly, "I didn't expect it to be so similar to a squirrel's head at this angle, which I have never discovered." ”

Upon closer inspection, he soon discovered more clues.

The fish is cut into strips with a fine knife and coated with starch and fried?

I didn't expect this technique to be used on fish.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was a little glad that he chose to test Qin Lang in this way, so that Qin Lang gave him a surprise again.

Since it is cooked in deep frying, it is normal for it to have a strong aroma.

But Zhou Qing also noticed that the aroma did not come entirely from the taste of fried starch.

It also contains the flavor of mandarin fish.

If the aroma of fried starch is dominant, then Zhou Qing is not satisfied with this dish.

But at this moment, the existence of the fish umami was just right, so he couldn't help but nod.

What's even better is that there is an orange scent in the scent.

With just one glance, Zhou Qing could roughly judge that the orange fragrance came from the juice poured on the surface.

The special aroma of orange, which is slightly sweet and sour, neutralizes the oiliness of the fried starch just right, and is undoubtedly a plus.

The smell is impeccable, and the appearance is no different.

The golden squirrel is vivid and lifelike, even in all the dishes that Zhou Qing has ever seen, it can occupy a place.

Don't pay too much attention to gorgeousness, focus on agility.

Very good.

Zhou Qing picked up the chopsticks.

His first chopsticks were clipped to the squirrel's tail.

"Click!"

With a very slight crisp sound, a piece of fish was broken off by him, leaving only a little fish skin exposed at the end.

This made Zhou Qing bow slightly.

He knew exactly what that meant.

The knife work on behalf of Qin Lang is also excellent.

Only when each knife is precisely cut into the skin of the fish without cutting the skin can each piece of fish be broken from the root.

Otherwise, there will be a small residue at the end of the shredded fish, which will bring an unpleasant dining experience to OCD diners.

And it just so happens that Zhou Qing has some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This made him feel a little better about this dish in his heart.

Biting the bottom half of the fish shreds, Zhou Qing chewed slowly.

The initial taste is sweet and sour.

The slightly thickened sweet and sour juice hangs better on the surface of the starchy shell, and the sweet and sour taste with an orange aroma makes people feel refreshed and appetite.

After a little chewing, the taste takes on a new twist.

The fried starch shell is crispy with a bit of glutinous taste, which is the result of the loose outer layer being soaked with sweet and sour juice, and the simultaneous existence of the two makes the greasy shell greatly eased, and the taste is richer.

In contrast, the fish is tender inside.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but look at the remaining half of the chopsticks.

Through the cross-section, you can clearly see the tender and juicy state of the fish inside.

How can the heat be mastered so well?

He couldn't help but admire a little.

Zhou Yun on the other side was silent, and the chopsticks had already caught the fifth fish wire.

It's delicious.

While my father was still savoring it, I quickly ate more.

This small action was noticed by Zhou Qing, and he immediately glared at his son angrily.

Then, Zhou Qing slowly stood up, walked to the cabinet on the side, and took out a seal from it.

"This is my own seal, the fish scale seal." Zhou Qing solemnly handed the seal to Qin Lang, "The dishes you cooked have been recognized by me, and now, I will award it to you." ”

"Thank you!" Qin Lang took the seal and looked at it carefully.

It is a bronze seal with a fish-scale pattern on the front and a leaping koi fish, and the words "Dongxia City, Fish Scales" underneath.

Is this the first-class Referrer Seal?

He cherished the fish scale seal in his arms, and his face couldn't help but show joy.

The first stamp was successfully obtained, which is a good sign.

Hopefully the next two seals will go so smoothly as well.

"Goo-too-toot!"

I've got the Referrer Seal!

Feeling Qin Lang's joy, Danbao couldn't help but cheer.

"It's almost noon, so let's stay for a light meal." Zhou Qing smiled and spoke.

After eating the squirrel mandarin fish cooked by Qin Lang, he was itchy for a while, and he also wanted to show his hand.

"Then bother." Qin Lang nodded politely, expectant in his eyes.

He also wanted to see how well the chef, who was said to be very good at cooking fish dishes, was cooking.

…

At lunchtime, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Zhou Qing's cooking skills in cooking fish dishes all his life will naturally not be weak.

What's more, it contains many cooking methods and ideas that are native to the world of food spirits.

The cooking methods of the two worlds are not strong or weak, but they have their own characteristics in the long run.

Therefore, tasting Zhou Qing's craftsmanship also touched Qin Lang a lot.

"Grandpa Zhou, I'll leave first."

After a meal, Qin Lang's address to Zhou Qing had become more intimate.

"Okay, you can come more often if you have nothing to do in the future." Zhou Qing had a smile on his face.

Communicating with each other at the dinner table, it was not only Qin Lang who was touched, but also him.

The occasional mention of this discerning teenager was refreshing to him.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you at the cooking event in a week."

"Definitely." Qin Lang nodded, turned around and left the Zhou family.

At lunch, Zhou Qing told him about some of the other food recommenders.

Although it was only a few precautions that did not involve secrets, it also made him a little more confident about obtaining the other two Recommender Seals.

He already had a plan for how to get the Sponsor's Seal next.

Seeing Qin Lang leave, Zhou Qing slowly retracted his gaze.

"Father, what do you think he will be able to do in the municipal cooking competition in a week's time?" Zhou Yun had already tacitly assumed that Qin Lang would be able to get the three seals smoothly.

The eleven first-class food recommenders are also the eleven final judges in the municipal cooking competition.

Presumably, Zhou Qing already had an accurate judgment of Qin Lang's strength.

"What's the rank?" Zhou Qing shook his head, "There is a certain element of luck in the ranking of the event, and it is difficult to show your full strength if the items drawn are not conducive to you, which I can't say well." ”

"But one thing I'm sure of."

"It won't be long before you'll be able to see him at the state level."
