"Roast suckling pig, I also want a serving of roast suckling pig." Wuhai felt that he had instantly recovered and no longer coveted Zhou Shijie's meat.
"Wuhai, you have ordered more than ten dishes. Can you finish the roast suckling pig if you add it?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"With me here, there won't be any accidents!" Wuhai said firmly.
Yuan Zhou nodded and began to make the roast suckling pig. Strictly speaking, the roast suckling pig had to be ordered in advance. After all, it would take a long time to roast it. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou had prepared it in advance.
On the other side, Zhou Shijie was still in the stage of being shocked by Yuan Zhou's roast suckling pig.
"No matter how I think about it, I can't do this kind of knife skills and fire control," Zhou Shijie said first.
Then he said, "Yuan's knife skills have become more and more flexible."
"Uncle Zhou, try it. This is Yuan Zhou's roast suckling pig," Yuan Zhou said.
"Yuan Zhou's roast suckling pig. Is this the first dish of Yuan Family Cuisine?" Zhou Shijie sighed, "Just based on the knife skills and fire control of this roast suckling pig, it is enough to surpass all other private dishes."
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Zhang Ruoxu. He had a work called "Spring River Moonlit Night", which was known as "the only work to surpass all of Tang".
This evaluation came from Wang Kaiyun's "Poems in Xiangqi Lou" at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The original text was: Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Moonlit Night" used the style of the Western Continent.
Even without the context, what Wang Kai said was that in the Western Zhou style of folk music poems, the "Spring River Moonlit Night" was the best.
However, it was misrepresented by later generations and gradually became "the only work to surpass all of Tang".
Now, when Zhou Shijie said that "suckling pig alone dominates private dishes", which would be widely spread in the next ten years, it was the original meaning.
Zhou Shijie clearly wanted to say that he, as the president of the Chef's Alliance, had tasted the Duan Family's Cuisine, the Tan Family's Cuisine, the Wang Family's Cuisine, and so on. Not to mention comparing it with the Yuan Family's Cuisine, even the first dish of the Yuan Family's Cuisine, Yuan's Roast Suckling Pig, had an insurmountable gap.
In the future, private dishes and Yuan Family Dishes would be placed in the first slot, and then there would be no second slot. The third slot would be Tan Family Dishes and Duan Family Dishes.
"It's just the start of the New Year, and you've already given me such a big surprise, Yuan." Zhou Shijie said, "The customers are really blessed."
On the other side, Chu Xiao's pupils also shrank. He felt like he was falling further and further behind. He could barely see the taillights of the car.
"Thank you for your compliment, Uncle Zhou," Yuan Zhou said, "I put a lot of effort into developing this dish. I hope you like it."
Zhou Shijie nodded his head and then started to taste the dish. As someone specially invited by Yuan Zhou to taste the dish, he certainly had to be more solemn.
"The fragrance is quite good. You must have added some sauce like plum during the roasting." Zhou Shijie didn't hurry to move his chopsticks. Instead, he took a deep breath and smelled the fragrance.
The color, fragrance, and color were already visible to the naked eye. The dark reddish-brown skin was glossy and glossy. No matter the parts that needed more heat or less heat, they all looked just right. The color was attractive and natural, perfect and flawless.
The fragrance. As soon as Zhou Shijie smelled it, he could smell a little sourness mixed with green plum. Together with the pure fragrance of the meat, it was so attractive that it was nothing more than that.
Next was the taste.
He reached out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. That's right, a piece. Not knowing when, Yuan Zhou had already cut the Roast Suckling Pig into pieces. Of course, before he picked it up, it was absolutely in the shape of a whole pig. Only after he picked it up forcefully, the suckling pork that was originally placed together instantly collapsed like dominoes.
"Although I've praised it a lot, I can't praise this dish too much. The knife skills are superb." Zhou Shijie had previously thought that the moment when Yuan Zhou was dissecting the ox was the peak of his knife skills.
But after today, Zhou Shijie found that the peak he thought was Yuan Zhou's normal time or even better.
The Yuan Family's Roast Suckling Pig had a distinct characteristic. It wasn't like the Cantonese Roast Suckling Pig or the common roast suckling pig nowadays that had dipping sauce.
That's right, there was no dipping sauce.
"Ka Ca"
As soon as Zhou Shijie put it into his mouth and bit it with his teeth, the first thing he came into contact with was the tough skin. The skin of many Roast Suckling Pigs was scorched and dry. Either he couldn't bite through it or it was too rough and didn't have any taste of meat at all. It felt like he was chewing bubbles.
However, the skin of Roast Suckling Pig of Family Yuan was different. It was chewy, soft, tough, and very delicious. It had both the smoothness of jelly and the chewiness of meat, totally unlike a roast suckling pig.
The skin was already very amazing, but the meat was even better. Near the skin, there was a little bit of fat with the unique plumpness of fat. Together with the soft and tender lean meat, the juice was plentiful and spread out as soon as he bit it. The fragrance of the meat filled his mouth. Just when he felt a little greasy, a fragrance mixed with green plum and mint spread out in his mouth, appropriately combining with the plump taste of the meat, making his mouth feel like a fresh wind blowing.
"I don't think it's a problem for me to eat a pig alone." Zhou Shijie muttered in his heart.
His movements were not slow either. With each chopstick, he ate a piece of meat happily. Originally, he wanted to let Zhou Shijie eat it together with the Barbecued Pork. That way, he could finish the whole pig.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to cook if he couldn't finish it. But who was the Barbecued Pork now? Zhou Shijie indicated that he could finish it all.
Actually, Zhou Shijie was thinking too much. Yuan Zhou wouldn't make such a mistake. The Little Fragrant Pig provided by the system was only five catties, and it was still intact. After a series of cleaning, removing the internal organs, discarding the bones, marinating, and so on, there wasn't much meat left. It was only the appetite of an adult.
Although Zhou Shijie was old, he still remembered to taste while eating. His speed was really fast. The meat on the plate decreased rapidly. After 20 minutes or so, the bottom of the plate could be seen.
There was nothing on the plate, not even a bit of grease. It could be seen how deep Yuan Zhou's foundation was.
"He's really my biological father."
Zhou Xiqing was drooling. He looked at his father eating the meat piece by piece and didn't think of his biological son sitting beside him at all.
"No, I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to order one later," Zhou Xi said.
Seeing Yuan Zhou come out with a dish, Zhou Shijie also put down his chopsticks. He had already confirmed that there wasn't any meat residue.
"The taste is excellent. It's fatty but not greasy, and the meat is not dry. This dish can be said to be the three pinnacles of knife skills, taste, and heat control." Zhou Shijie stroked his chin contentedly.
"As long as Uncle Zhou is satisfied with it," said Yuan Zhou.
"What's wrong with a dish like Yuan Family's Roast Suckling Pig? I can't find any flaws, "said Zhou Shijie.
"There's a private home cuisine competition every year. Will Yuan take part in it this year?" Zhou Shijie asked again.
"Not for the time being. Currently, there's only one Yuan Family Cuisine. Besides, there's the Sino-France Exchange Competition and the Bogus World Cooking Competition this year. So I don't have much time," said Yuan Zhou.
Zhou Shijie nodded. He couldn't let Yuan Zhou be too tired. After all, Yuan Zhou was absolutely the most valuable asset to the Chinese culinary world.
