He probably knew Zhan Changfa's intention, so the two dishes he ordered were served together, Phoenix-Tail Prawns and Phoenix-Tail Prawns with Dragon Body.
To be honest, one was Jinling Cuisine and the other was Fujian Cuisine, so the cooking methods were naturally different. Comparatively speaking, Phoenix-Tail Prawns were more exquisite.
In particular, Yuan Zhou's knife skills were getting better and better. Whether it was the parasol tree or the parasol flower, the word "vivid" wasn't enough to describe it. It could be directly said that it looked like a real flower. Not only did it have the shape, but it was unknown how Yuan Zhou did it. It even had a little fragrance of the parasol flower. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a miniature version on the plate, people would really think that they had seen the legendary grand occasion of a phoenix perching on a parasol tree.
Those jade-green peas were like the leaves of the parasol tree beneath the phoenix's body. They looked very exquisite.
The Phoenix-Tail Prawns with Dragon Body was made of ham and prawns, which were fried and shaped. The body was like a dragon and the tail was like a phoenix. In fact, the specific appearance of this dish could be seen from its name.
Zhan Changfa deeply felt that this dish of Fujian Cuisine really lived up to its name. It seemed to be a hybrid of a dragon and a phoenix. It was born with such a shape, not made with ham and prawn tails. The beauty of natural carving was really shocking.
At least, even the inheritor of this dish, Qu Yun, didn't have such an effect. This was not a simple dish. Qu Yun's cooking was also very vivid, but people always felt that there was a trace of craftsmanship reminding them that it was made by people.
Yuan Zhou's dish was different. It didn't have such concerns at all. Just like the Phoenix-Tail Prawns just now, it seemed to be born with such a shape, without any trace of artificial carving.
"Which of these two dishes do you think is better?" Zhan Changfa couldn't tell the difference himself, so he began to ask Xiang Yang and Wu Kun.
Wu Kun and Xiang Yang's eyes were almost glued to the two dishes. They really hated their parents for not giving birth to a pair of eyes. Otherwise, they could definitely look at the phoenix tail and the dragon body without any delay.
Hearing Zhan Changfa's question, it took them a while to understand what he was asking.
Xiang Yang's usual dull expression changed. He widened his eyes and stared at Zhan Changfa. Zhan Changfa's hair stood on end. "President, don't you think you're a little arrogant? Why are you asking Kun Zi and I to judge our future master's dishes? What are you thinking?"
"Let's not talk about this. Look at these two beautiful dishes. How are they going to decide the winner?"
If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid that his saliva would get into the dishes and affect the taste, Xiang Yang would have performed a spitting performance for Zhan Changfa to see. It was obvious that he was a little excited.
Then, Zhan Changfa expressionlessly said, "There are no more two dishes left."
After saying that, he hurriedly reached out the chopsticks in his hand and unceremoniously picked up a prawn and sent it into his mouth. Then, he began to work.
Only then did Xiang Yang realize that just when he was feeling distressed about President Zhan's boldness, his good brother had directly started fighting. They ate a prawn on each side, and it was quite even. It felt like no one was at a disadvantage.
Before he had time to reflect on whether the relationship between them was plastic from the beginning or when it began to change qualitatively, Xiang Yang quickly joined the ranks of eating prawns.
Subconsciously, he chose the Dragon Body Phoenix-Tail Prawns of Fujian Cuisine first. Because it had been fried and shaped, it was crispy on the outside and crisp on the inside. Coupled with the seasonal vegetables, it was fresh and natural, highlighting the sweet taste of the prawn meat.
In order to match the meaning of the dragon body and the phoenix tail, Yuan Zhou chose the pattern of auspicious clouds. It was like a giant dragon soaring into the sky. Its tall and sturdy body pierced through the clouds, but its tail was like a phoenix's tail, swaying at will. Coupled with the gorgeous color, it was like a dragon but not a dragon, like a phoenix but not a phoenix. It was indescribably beautiful.
As a few people worked, the overall layout was destroyed, but even so, it couldn't affect the taste.
From not having the heart to destroy the overall layout to enjoying it, it was only a matter of a sentence. It couldn't be helped. The elegant and fresh fragrance continued to attract people's attention. It was really embarrassing not to eat it.
After eating the Dragon Body Phoenix-Tail Prawns, Xiang Yang naturally aimed at the Phoenix-Tail Prawns. Unlike the Dragon Body Phoenix-Tail Prawns, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the prawns of Jinling Cuisine were really fresh and tender to the extreme. They were incredibly sweet and fragrant. Anyway, Xiang Yang never knew that the seemingly bland and tasteless prawns tasted so mellow and sweet.
The taste was completely different, but it was the same. It was very delicious and fascinating. There were only eight prawns on a plate, and there were only 16 prawns on the two dishes. Each person had five prawns, and there was one prawn left. Although Wu Kun was one step ahead of them, no one would be slow in front of delicious food.
If they were really slow, it was estimated that their hands would really be broken, and they couldn't blame others.
The three people almost finished their five prawns at the same time, and they all stared at the last one.
If the prawns could speak, they would definitely say, "Don't stare at it like that. It's a little square."
Everyone wanted to eat it, but the three pairs of eyes stared at it for a long time and still couldn't reach a consensus. Therefore, they all reached out their chopsticks at the same time and grabbed three positions on the tail of the prawn.
"Pa"
With a clear and melodious sound, they each picked up a piece and quickly stuffed it into their mouths. No one suffered any loss. Anyway, no matter how much they ate, they all ate a little.
"Tsk. For this prawn, we should prepare 10 or 20 or even 30 prawns per plate. That way, it'll be enough. Eight prawns are really too little." Zhan Changfa shook his head and was extremely dissatisfied with the number of prawns.
To be frank, he really felt that he had just tasted a little taste and then it was gone. He felt really uncomfortable in his heart.
"Although he is the master, the portion of this dish is indeed a little too little. Even the razor clams just now are too little," Xiang Yang said.
Wu Kun blinked his eyes and didn't participate. Although he agreed inwardly, he still stared at the upcoming next dish.
He had the best sense of smell among the three, so when the dish came out of the kitchen door, he had already vaguely smelled the aroma before the others could smell it. As such, he couldn't wait to turn his head to look.
Saying that the portion of the dish was small was not as important as eating the next dish. Moreover, he was the one who ordered this dish, so he was naturally more familiar with it.
As expected, as soon as Wu Kun turned his head, he saw the plate that was getting closer and closer to him. Zhan Changfa and Xiang Yang, who were affected by Wu Kun's actions, also smelled the aroma.
The main reason was that not only was Wu Kun very familiar with this dish, but Xiang Yang and Xiang Yang were also very familiar with it. As a well-deserved and indispensable dish in Min Province's festive banquets, the meat rice and fish lips naturally appeared quite frequently.
Many people knew how to make it, but as the old saying went, "Everyone knows how to make it and being proficient in it" were actually two different concepts.
Logically speaking, there were only a few difficulties with this dish, and it was considered a relatively easy dish. However, when the meat rice and fish lips made by Yuan Zhou was brought to the table, only then did they realize that sometimes there was no difference in difficulty.
All three of them at the table knew how to make this dish. With their cooking skills, it was not easy for them to mess up the dish. But even so, after seeing the meat rice and fish lips, they still felt that they really only knew how to make it in the past.
