Was this fish sighing just now …?
Jiang Haifu seriously suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing, but just now, he had indeed seen the fish sit up and take off its skin, as if it had become a city spirit!
This was absolutely perfect fish skin; there wasn't the slightest trace of a knife cutting it. Except for the hole at the end, the fish skin was a very smooth and round piece! The best proof was Old Man Wang's next move!
The old man tied up the end of the fish skin, and then started to pour water into it.
Wang Ling was also stupefied.
He had seen the old man cook before, but he had never seen the skill he was displaying today!
It seemed that the old man had undergone special training for today's duel, and had even brought out his special skills that he had been hiding for a long time!
— — This opponent was unexpectedly strong!
Cold sweat ran down Jiang Haifu's forehead. After washing the fish skin, he used precise knife skills to cut it into strips of uniform width! His fish skin dish was a highly elastic fish skin noodles made of fish skin as the raw material! The most difficult thing about fish skin was actually getting rid of the fishy smell. Most chefs would choose to use spicy condiments such as chili and pepper to cover up the fishy smell.
But the truth was that this was a relatively low-class method.
Spicy wasn't necessarily suitable for everyone, and the dish this time was for everyone to taste. Thus, the difficulty Jiang Haifu had to overcome was to make this dish so fragrant without using chili. Not only did it have to be devoid of the fishy smell, it also had to have a texture that would appeal to all ages and make people want to eat it again after eating it.
The more skilled a chef was, the more they would be able to use the charm of the ingredients themselves to set off each other, cover up their shortcomings, and then bring out the strengths of each ingredient as much as possible!
Thus, Jiang Haifu's dish didn't have any condiments! Salt! MSG! Pepper noodles! Soy sauce! Ginger garlic and so on … none of these! Jiang Haifu had to extract them from the ingredients themselves!
Jiang Haifu did not rely on seasonings. This was also the secret skill that allowed him to roam the Chu world for many years. He gave this secret skill a happy and intimate name — "Haifu's Family Meal"!
This could be considered Jiang Haifu's signature move. Jiang Haifu had originally considered that the old man beside him was already old, so he might have been able to be a little more modest, so as not to embarrass the old man and cause him to lose too badly … However, after he saw the old man's Depression Saber Technique, Jiang Haifu immediately felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Jiang Haifu did not want to lose this battle.
Thinking of this, Jiang Haifu took a deep breath and began to process the other ingredients.
Because he didn't know how to use seasonings, he used more ingredients than the old man. Moreover, he only used a part of the ingredients, so he needed to cut off the parts that were used. In this way, knife skills became very important.
However, after witnessing the old man's Depression Saber Technique, Jiang Haifu actually felt a little uneasy. When he was processing the other ingredients of the fish skin noodles, he kept sneaking glances at the old man. He wanted to know what other tricks the old man would come up with.
On the other side, the old man filled half of the fish skin bags that he had cut with the Depression Saber Technique with water and added some rice inside.
There were 12 people in the house today, so he had to try his best to satisfy their appetite.
Therefore, the old man used the same method to make another fish skin bag that was exactly the same. Each fish skin bag swelled up like a balloon after being filled with water and rice. It was as big as a cabbage!
At this time, Jiang Haifu could also see the significance of the two fish that the old man had carefully selected. The fish that he had seen the old man choose before were all relatively old! Old fish might not have fresh meat, but their skin was very stubborn! Moreover, this fish species was the wave fish, which was one of the more tenacious among the sea fishes.
Therefore, the moment he saw the main ingredient, Jiang Haifu thought of the idea of using the wave fish to make fish skin noodles.
The old man's train of thought was even more jumpy. He used the fish skin to pour water and rice into it. Was he going to make fish rice?
Just as Jiang Haifu was feeling puzzled, a voice suddenly rang out.
Old Man Wang took out a jar from the cabinet at the bottom. He gently knocked on the jar with his hand. "Get up! It's time to work … "
Then, he opened the jar.
Jiang Haifu was surprised to find that there was a yellow and white orange cat in the jar. This cat's whole body was dissolved in the jar like a liquid … But after hearing Old Man Wang's call, it immediately poked its head out of the jar.
Jiang Haifu smelled a strong smell of dried fish in the jar. It was probably left in the jar by the old man for the orange cat to eat.
The orange cat stretched out its paws lazily, then jumped out and landed on the ground. Then, it stood up on its two legs.
"Old man, this is …"
"This is a cat from my hometown. I picked it up on a tricycle a while ago. It's a cat that can cook." The old man scratched his head and smiled. "I'm old and can't punch eighty punches per second anymore, so I asked this vegetable cat to help me. Brother Haifu, do you mind? "
Jiang Haifu quickly waved his hand. "Of … of course not … please go ahead, old man!"
He was almost eighty years old …
This competition was actually not very fair to begin with.
The old man massaged his muscles, then took out something from his pocket and threw it to the orange cat on the ground. Jiang Haifu looked at it and found that it was a pair of super small boxing gloves!
What was he going to do?
Stunned, Jiang Haifu watched as the old man hung the fish skin pouches, which were previously filled with water and rice, on a bamboo pole with a hook. He placed the bamboo pole horizontally in front of his chest, and the two fish skin pouches were suspended in the air just like that.
Then, the old man narrowed his eyes and stared at the orange cat. "Vegetable cat! Use Muay Thai Warning! "
At his command, the orange cat abruptly punched the two fish skin bags!
In a split second, the whole kitchen was filled with the sound of "Ah, hit hit hit hit!"
Jiang Haifu and Wang Ling were stunned. "…"
As a chef for many years, Jiang Haifu finally understood what on earth this cat was doing!
This vegetable cat was using its skillful punching skills to rub the air around the fish skin bags to heat up the air at a uniform speed. Furthermore, it was using the vibration of the high-speed punches to extract the salt from the fish skin bags and fuse it with the rice inside …
This was a one-step operation to enhance the flavor!
It wasn't using any condiments, but it wasn't using any extra ingredients either!
Jiang Haifu realized …
He had lost again …
