Liao Wendong only ate a quarter of the tofu, and the rest was eaten by Xiao Zhang and each of them in a small bite, and they ate it cleanly, even the soup base was drunk.

"This one is too fragrant!"

Xiao Zhang exclaimed: "If you let those foreigners eat it, you can't swallow your tongue?" ”

Xiao Guo also nodded again and again: "Where have those foreigners ever seen this kind of dish?" ”

"Don't talk about foreigners, I haven't seen it either!"

Pony sighed: "Today is really a long experience. ”

Listening to their feelings, Liao Wendong felt very uncomfortable.

As a Hunan cuisine chef, he can cook Hunan cuisine, but there are not as many Hunan dishes as a chef from other places.

What makes him most depressed is that even what he can do is not as delicious as what others make.

"Bring everything with you."

Liu Wei's voice came from the other side of the desk.

He asked the cooks behind him to bring the prepared ingredients, left the back kitchen, and went up the staff elevator to the banquet hall on the top floor.

He has to put his design concept into practice and personally create banquet dishes for diners.

No one cared about his departure, everyone was busy with the work in front of them.

In front of the five stoves, the chefs and assistant chefs are in full swing.

"Out of the pot!"

"Serve!"

The chefs shouted and cheered one after another.

After dividing the [Kumian Tofu] into dishes, Li Yi brought the simmered shark fin, divided it into ten portions, and served it out.

This time, Xiao Zhang and the others were out of luck, the amount of shark fin was just divided into ten parts, and there was not even any soup left.

Watching the shark fin being brought out, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Shouldn't this top-notch ingredient be the finale and the last?" How did you get on it in the first place? ”

"The finale?"

Li Yi smiled: "It's just shark fin, it can't be pressed against the shaft, at most it can only be regarded as a warm appetizer, and the real finale is the main dish." ”

"Shark fin isn't the main course yet?"

Xiao Zhang didn't understand.

"Of course not."

Li Yi explained: "The main dish in a banquet must be the most important one, either the most costly, or the most precious ingredients, or the most cumbersome and complicated method.

This shark fin can definitely be used as a main dish at an ordinary banquet.

But at the table I prepared, it wasn't the main course. ”

"So what's..."

Xiao Zhang subconsciously asked, but soon remembered something, and looked at a large clay pot in the corner of the stove, a large porcelain plate prepared on the side of the desk, and a phoenix with wings carved from a pumpkin on the top of the porcelain plate.

Among all the dishes prepared by Li Yi, only the momentum of this dish can be used as the main dish of a whole table of banquets.

But the dish wasn't ready to be served.

"Prepare twelve soup cups."

Li Yi commanded, came to the small stove, picked up a large casserole with a wide mouth and short belly, took it back and put it on the desk.

He took the gauze, put it on the lid of the casserole, lifted the lid, and a strong aroma of fish fat mixed with steaming heat came out.

The heat spread, revealing a square piece of fish belly in the casserole.

The belly is soaked in a thick crimson broth, and the residual heat of the casserole is still heating the soup, and bubbles are churning from the bottom of the pot.

The bubbles push up the belly, and the tender belly is like cream, easily stirred by the bubbles, trembling, DuangDuang bounces up, looking very tempting.

This is the most tender piece of fish belly taken from the abdomen of the money spot, which was put in a casserole by Li Yi and stewed for three hours.

Xiao Zhang and a few people came over curiously, and were immediately surprised by the softness of the fish belly.

Xiao Guo couldn't help but exclaim: "No wonder it's called [Sugar Heart Fish Belly], this looks really a bit sugary!" ”

Just looking at it, this fish belly gives people a smooth and tender feeling of the cream cake sandwich layer, as if you can eat it like jelly without using your teeth and just gently sucking it with your mouth.

Hearing Xiao Guo's exclamation, Dong Haiqiang, who was on the stove on the side, couldn't help but look here.

Sweethearted fish belly? Was it changed from the [sugar carp] in the Kumian dish?

It is said that this dish is made of carp simmered into a sugar heart, and the taste is as smooth as mutton lipid, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Is this kid really going to bring all the legendary Kumian dishes to the feast?

Dong Haiqiang retracted his gaze and looked at the simmering osmanthus fish in the pot, with a somewhat complicated mood.

Originally, he was quite confident in his pine nut cinnamon fish.

But with such a comparison, why does he feel a little out of his way?

After Li Yi put the casserole down, he took a slender thin knife that was one foot long, and made two horizontal and three vertical cuts on the fish belly in the casserole, dividing the fish belly into twelve pieces.

The blade didn't send any resistance back, as if it were cutting through a puddle of water.

Seeing the number of times Li Yi went under the knife, Xiao Zhang and the others suddenly became excited.

Twelve pieces were cut out, which meant that two pieces would be left and fall into their mouths.

Brother Yi is so interesting!

Li Yi cut the fish belly, took a large flat wooden spoon, carefully dug it from the side of the fish belly, stuck to the bottom of the casserole, and dug out a piece of fish belly.

The soup cup prepared by Xiao Zhang and the others had already been put away, and Li Yi carefully put the fish belly into the soup cup and poured some soup on it.

Pinch up a few small pieces of green onions, put them on the fish belly, and a portion of [sugar heart fish belly] is ready.

Xiao Zhang and the others couldn't wait to pick up the [Sugar Heart Fish Belly], put it in the tray, and sent it to the food mouth.

"Serve!"

On the outermost side of the stove, Xia Zhuo also made [braised fish pieces] and motioned to help the cook serve the food.

The chef picked up the [braised fish cubes] and walked towards the dish, and happened to meet Xiao Zhang with the [sugar heart fish belly].

Smelling the aroma wafting from the soup cup, the assistant chef couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zhang.

"What kind of dish is this?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"[Sugar heart fish belly]."

Xiao Zhang raised his head and said, glancing at the tray in his hand.

Seeing the [braised fish pieces] on the tray, Xiao Zhang pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

But seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth, the assistant chef understood his thoughts.

He was clearly joking: "That's it? ”

After sending the [braised fish cubes] out, the kitchen assistant hurried back to the stove.

Leaning up to Xia Zhuo, he whispered a few words.

When Xia Zhuo heard this, he was a little puzzled, and then looked at Li Yi's side, his eyes were quite solemn.

After Xiao Zhang served the food, he couldn't wait to run back.

With Liao Wendong in charge, Xiao Guo and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they only dared to look at Liao Wendong with a blank look at the bowl containing [Sugar Heart Fish Belly], cut off a trembling fat and tender fish belly with a spoon, and brought it to his mouth.

Liao Wendong pouted and leaned over to the spoon and sucked it gently.

Slippery!

The belly of the fish slid straight into his mouth like jelly.

I didn't squeeze it with my teeth at all, but just hit the soft flesh on my tongue, and the belly of the fish melted into a rich soup in an instant.

Carefully tasting the juice of the fish belly, Liao Wendong sincerely admired: "It's really fragrant!" ”

Suddenly, Dong Haiqiang's voice came from behind: "Can I taste it?" ”

When Liao Wendong heard this, he looked back and saw that it was him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

It was the critical moment of serving food, how did he leave the stove and run here?

But he was just stunned, and he got out of the way: "Yes, yes!" Master Dong, there is just one more piece! ”

“……”

Xiao Zhang and the others looked at Dong Haiqiang, who stretched out his hand to pick up another piece of fish belly, and thought that the eyes of the knife man could no longer be hidden.
