Of course, there was no need for Wei Wei to hesitate anymore. As soon as they finished the Osmanthus Glutinous Rice and Lotus Root, a new dish was served.
It was Zuo Zuo's sashimi. Speaking of the best place to eat sashimi, Shunde was the best place to eat fish. It was said that the food was in Yangcheng, but the taste was in Shunde. It wasn't an exaggeration.
To sum up, Shunde sashimi was very famous. Zuo Zuo especially liked this dish. Of course, she didn't like Japanese sashimi as she felt the two dishes were similar in shape but different in spirit.
As a product of traditional Chinese cuisine, sashimi was very particular about the utensils. They were either packed in lacquer plates or in boat-shaped utensils. One couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients. They were all about color, fragrance and form. The latter part was added in modern times, but in fact, the utensils had already been paid attention to in ancient times.
What Yuan Zhou used was the lacquer plate. The whole round plate presented a dark red luster. Occasionally, there was a pitch-black outline on the edge and some floating cloud patterns, which made the whole plate appear a little dim. However, it would be different if the sashimi were placed inside.
The translucent, snow-white fish meat was arranged in the shape of flower petals while several kinds of seasonings were placed in the middle.
Set off by the snow-white fish meat, the originally dark plate immediately became lively and fragrant, which added a sense of beauty to the fish meat. It was a perfect color.
Traditional sashimi required more than a dozen kinds of seasonings. The seasonings of The Kitchen God were the most classic ones, namely shredded onion, shredded pepper, shredded sweet potato, shredded pickled mustard and fried vermicelli. They were arranged neatly in the middle of the flower petals like colorful pistils.
"It's too exquisite." Zuo Zuo didn't have the heart to eat it because it was too beautiful.
It was like a snow lotus that bloomed on the top of a snowy mountain, pure and beautiful. It was a little untainted, especially since it had been frozen in the freezer for a few minutes. After being taken out, it emitted some white smoke, which added a lot of color to the dish.
Wei Wei didn't have such concerns. She was used to the exquisite food of this restaurant. If the Kitchen God didn't have the heart to eat it because of its exquisite appearance, she would only starve to death.
"Why don't I eat it first and ruin the overall appearance? Then you won't have to worry about it." Wei Wei looked like she was ready to go to hell.
Without waiting for Zuo Zuo's reaction, Wei Wei picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of snow-white fish. Only now did Wei Wei understand why they used such a dark plate. It was because they were afraid that if the color was too light, they wouldn't be able to find the fish because it was too thin.
He clearly saw that Qingqing had picked up a piece of fish, but after it left the plate, if he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't see it, which showed how thin it was.
To be able to cut the fish to a thickness of 0.5 mm, it would be as thin as a cicada's wing. It would be extremely beautiful, and the skill would be at the level of a master.
However, Yuan Zhou's knife skills couldn't be generalized. He had cut the fish to the limit of 0.3 mm, which was the thinnest he could cut. That was the extent that it would definitely be broken if he cut it even a little bit less. It was really normal that it couldn't be seen after he picked it up.
She put the chopsticks into her mouth based on her feeling. The temperature in her mouth met with the coldness, and an extremely fresh and sweet taste melted in her mouth. Because it was really thin, the fish also melted under the effect of the temperature. Even if it wasn't dipped in any seasoning, it was still quite fresh and sweet. The fragrance overflowed in her mouth and left an endless aftertaste.
Fresh, sweet, and tender, the three flavors of sashimi were reflected to the extreme. After Wei Wei ate one piece, she immediately picked up a second piece and began eating. This time, she put a few shreds of pickled mustard and rolled it up to eat.
From the time Wei Wei offered to help to the time she ate the first piece, only one minute had passed. Zuo Zuo watched helplessly as the beautiful flower that was in full bloom just now directly withered.
Then, Zuo Zuo realized that it would be gone if she waited any longer, so she picked up the chopsticks without hesitation. The best way to preserve beautiful things was naturally to eat them and preserve them in the stomach.
The plate of fish was cut extremely thin, so it covered the entire plate. After a careful look, one would find that there were two layers of fish. In order to not stick together, they didn't completely stick together. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to notice it.
No matter how many pieces there were, it wouldn't be enough. Moreover, there weren't many of them. Therefore, the fish was finished very quickly.
"How is it? Is the food here delicious?" Wei Wei approached and asked.
"It's indeed very delicious. Not only the taste, but also the presentation is very beautiful. Most importantly, I feel very comfortable eating in this restaurant. The food is delicious, the place is comfortable, and the surrounding customers are also very nice. "Zuo Zuo nodded.
It had been about a week since she came out this time. She felt a little restless because she hadn't made any progress at all. However, after eating one dish, all she could think about was the delicacies. It was true that delicacies could soothe people's hearts.
Especially when the ice-cold fish entered her stomach, she felt even calmer. It wasn't because of some elixir or miraculous medicine, nor was it that mysterious. It was just a kind of satisfaction that gushed out from the heart after eating delicious food. It made people feel very fulfilled and comfortable.
"If it's a book review in such an environment, I have no problem," Zuo Zuo thought inwardly. However, the auditorium of the book review site was much more messy.
"I told you that the food here would make people happy, right?!" Wei Wei felt happy when she saw that her friend had recommended her.
Usually, she came with Mr. Wei and Mr. Wei was the one who took care of things. This was the first time that Wei Wei handled things on her own. It felt good.
Following that, the dishes were served one after another. First was the Steamed Eggs with Shrimps ordered by Wei Wei, followed by Zuo Zuo's Sausage and Glutinous Rice Pancakes. The last dish was a Kung Fu dish, Osmanthus Buns.
It was a famous dish in Guangdong Province and required a lot of ingredients. Of course, it would take a long time to prepare because of the time needed for marinating and steaming. Therefore, this dish was served last.
Speaking of which, the name sounded very beautiful. Actually, when people saw the dish, they would think it was a sausage, the kind with big sausages.
The dish served was a round slice. The slice was not very thick, only 0.1 centimeters thick. However, the content inside was rich and varied. There were yellow, flesh-colored, and white slices.
Of course, Osmanthus Buns were different from sausages. Sausages were filled with meat into the small intestines, while Osmanthus Buns were rolled up with fresh duck intestines.
One of the most important criteria to determine if the Osmanthus Buns were qualified was the tightness of the roll. If the roll was not tight enough, it would easily fall apart when cut. Then, it would not look good, nor would the taste be good.
The Osmanthus Buns served now was definitely perfect. The salted egg yolk, lean meat, fat and lean meat, and duck intestines were all rolled up tightly. Every slice looked very solid.
As it had just been steamed, it was steaming and the fragrance was very strong. The salted egg yolk was already very fragrant. Not only did it have the rich smell of grease, but it also had the unique taste of marinating. In addition, the fragrance of marinating meat was very tempting.
"Let me have a taste." Without giving Wei Wei a chance to speak, Zuo Zuo picked up the chopsticks and put a slice into her mouth.
