Secretary Fang watched intently, "It feels like watching a performance". He had seen a lot of chefs, many of whom were skillful and at ease, but he was definitely the only one who could cook like a painting.
As for Yuan Zhou's ability, even his direct disciple, Cheng Zhao Mei, was far inferior to him.
When they were concentrating on doing things or watching things, they wouldn't feel that time passed quickly. The three of them felt that they had just started watching when the dishes were ready.
Only when they smelled the fragrance did they come back to themselves.
The first two dishes were the Cold Eating Rabbit and the Lion's Head with Crab Meat.
"So soon?" Leader Zhao looked at his watch subconsciously and found that only 10 minutes had passed.
"Indeed." Gao Fei was a little envious.
Yuan Zhou's plate presentation had always been stunning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of famous French chefs like Moliere and Dean.
The Cold Eating Rabbit didn't have many styles. It was just placed on a white plate, but the red chili, dark rabbit meat and various other ingredients made people drool when they saw the white plate.
As for the Lion's Head, it was even more artistic. The white jade-like big meatball, only a little smaller than a woman's fist, was plump in the milky white soup. In the red small cup, there were several pieces of green vegetables floating. The Lion's Head was sprinkled with a little orange crab roe. The color was distinct and refreshing, which seemed to make people feel calm just by looking at it.
It was the Lion's Head with Crab Meat stew.
"It looks really exquisite." After taking a look at Secretary Fang's Lion's Head, Leader Zhao stared at his own Cold Eating Rabbit.
He originally thought it was the Cold Eating Rabbit that was placed randomly and disorderly, but after a careful look, he found it was not so. The meat and the ingredients seemed to be mixed according to the ratio of 2: 1. With all kinds of ingredients mixed together, the rabbit meat was smaller than the ingredients. It was very easy to recognize and he didn't need to worry about picking up the wrong one at all.
After taking a deep breath, his nose was filled with the fragrant and spicy smell, which made Leader Zhao, who was used to eating Shandong Cuisine with thick oil and red sauce, slightly uncomfortable. However, his saliva secreted obviously, indicating that his stomach had begun to move.
Leader Zhao picked up his chopsticks and accurately picked up a piece of meat. The skin seemed to be attached to the rabbit skin, which was red and shiny. The rabbit meat inside seemed to have shrunk slightly, but as the chopsticks moved closer, the aroma became stronger.
When he stuffed it into his mouth, the chewy rabbit skin had a soft texture. The rabbit meat inside was slightly crispy, and there was a lot of juice inside. When he bit into it, it was crispy at first, then soft and tender. It was very delicious. The spicy taste just happened to stimulate his taste buds. After one bite, his hand immediately wanted to pick up a second piece.
"Delicious. So spicy." Leader Zhao's chopsticks didn't stop moving.
Anyone who had eaten Sichuan cuisine, especially spicy dishes, would know that the more you ate, the more spicy it became. The more spicy it was, the more you wanted to eat it. It was like eating Stride Mall, you simply couldn't stop.
Leader Zhao was in such a state at present. Sitting next to him, Gao Fei saw that Leader Zhao was still a little reserved at the beginning and ate slowly. However, as he ate, he ate faster and faster. In the end, he moved his chopsticks as if they were flying. When he ate, he didn't even let go of the side dishes. One after another, he put the chilies into his mouth and immediately chewed on them with a sound of "Ka Ca, Ka Ca". It was like chewing bones, crunchy and crispy.
Gao Fei was envious. The dishes he ordered hadn't arrived yet. He turned his head and wanted to look at Secretary Fang. Maybe he could share some with him. Then he saw Secretary Fang slowly put down the small cup and swallowed the last mouthful of soup in his mouth with a satisfied expression.
If Gao Fei had an emoji pack now, he would probably stare with his eyes wide open and be very surprised. He opened his mouth and poured it out directly. It was gone so quickly.
"The meat is tender and the crab roe is glutinous and sweet. It's very delicious. Even the vegetables are crispy, tender and delicious. I feel that what I ate before was probably pig's food." Secretary Fang praised.
Many chefs felt offended by Secretary Fang's words, including Secretary Fang's mother who was cooking at home.
Gao Fei looked at Secretary Fang's mouth in confusion and then looked at his stomach. When he turned his head, he saw Leader Zhao sitting upright and still, drinking water with a plate that was already very clean.
"Sichuan Cuisine should be the dish that Head Chef Yuan is best at. The people who cook around here will probably gain some weight." Seeing this, Secretary Fang really wanted to eat. However, this meal was being treated by the leader, so he couldn't waste it.
"Although I've eaten some Sichuan Cuisine before, this is the first time I've truly tasted the delicacies of Sichuan Cuisine. I somewhat understand Chairman Zhou's words. It's not the delicacies that drive Taoxi Road, but Head Chef Yuan," Leader Zhao said.
His tone was somewhat disappointed. Based on the current situation, it was impossible for him to open the gourmet street.
As of now, Gao Fei hadn't even eaten a single dish. Although he could tell from the reaction of Leader Zhao and Leader Zhao that the dishes were really delicious, he wouldn't be able to imagine it if he didn't eat them.
Fortunately, Gao Fei didn't have to wait for long before the remaining dishes were served.
The most exquisite and eye-catching dish was naturally the Swallows Making Trouble in the Sea ordered by Leader Zhao. It was quite exquisite and beautiful.
Swallows Making Trouble in the Sea was an old Shandong Cuisine. Nowadays, there weren't many people who could cook it well. Moreover, it was rare to see such a dish in restaurants.
As a picturesque dish, it was naturally very exquisite both on the plate and on the outside.
A circle of lifelike swallows surrounded the light blue plate, the sea ginseng slightly rolled up, and the thick red sauce was the essence of Shandong Cuisine. The exterior was fresh and tasty while the interior was a beautiful sea cucumber. It truly lived up to its name of Swallows Making Trouble in the Sea.
"Plate presentation is also an art. Who said that our dishes are inferior to French dishes? Whoever said that should come to the Kitchen God and have a look, "Leader Zhao said as he lowered his head onto the plate.
Take the swallows as an example. If it weren't for the fact that they turned red at the back and could be recognized as prawn tails after a careful look, he would have thought that they were real swallows lying there quietly. It was too vivid.
Leader Zhao had eaten this dish before, so he was even more surprised. When he ate it in the past, he could still tell that the swallows were made with prawns, fish mashed, and other ingredients such as cucumber for wings and red pepper for mouth. To put it bluntly, he could tell the raw materials at a glance.
But when it came to Yuan Zhou, he couldn't tell. The only thing he could tell was probably the circle of green vegetables around the sea cucumber.
Leader Zhao was only surprised by Yuan Zhou's beautiful appearance, while Gao Fei was amazed by Yuan Zhou's perfect knife skills and fire control. He didn't even have time to look at his own dish.
As a rising master of Shandong Cuisine, Gao Fei naturally knew how to make this dish. But knowing and being able to make it well were actually two different things. Today, he could especially experience it.
Compared with Yuan Zhou, he really only knew how to make this dish. Other things were not worth mentioning at all.
As for Secretary Fang, he was very smart. He glanced at it in a hurry and then immersed himself in his own food. In his words, "I can only look but can't eat. It's better to look less. Otherwise, isn't it asking for trouble?"
Speaking of which, he was indeed a smart person.
After Leader Zhao exclaimed, he planned to eat. The swallows were too perfect and he didn't want to eat them. He decided to start with the sea cucumber, which was easier to accept.
