The size of the Smoked Fish Silver Thread Noodles was the same as that of the Clear Broth Noodle Soup, which was equivalent to a bowl of noodles outside. For young people, this amount was really not much.
This person finished eating very quickly, but he was reluctant to open his mouth. There was still the smooth and chewy texture of the noodles left in his mouth.
After a while, when the young man felt that he had swallowed all the aroma in his mouth, he said, "Boss Yuan, why doesn't your smoked fish have that kind of burning smell? Instead, it tastes a little sweet."
"Yes, I also want to know the answer to this young man's question." A middle-aged man beside him also had a curious look on his face.
"Smoke it twice," Yuan Zhou said with an earnest expression.
"Ha? Won't it be more flavorful if you smoke it twice? "The young man seemed to be teasing me again and again.
"How stupid you are. When you eat it for the second time, you know it's cold smoked with the shell of lychee," Lee Yanyi happened to swallow the last mouthful of soup. He glanced at him and said solemnly.
"Lychee shell? Leng Xun, what's that? "The customers were basically all puzzled.
"Humph. One more serving of Honey Tremella." Lee Yanyi paid no attention to those people and continued to order dishes.
"I'm sorry, sir. This dish is temporarily unavailable." Zhou Jia said apologetically.
"What do you mean? Your new product is gone just like that?" Lee Yanyi was discontented.
"Yes, because one of the main ingredients of this dish is royal jelly. For this dish, we only use fresh royal jelly and then let Boss Yuan cook it personally. It's a little rare." Zhou Jia had a good working quality. She explained carefully.
This explanation was much better than Yuan Zhou's explanation of seeing bees. At least, Lee Yanyi didn't want to beat him up after hearing this explanation. If it was Yuan Zhou's explanation, Lee Yanyi would definitely nag him to death.
"Can royal jelly be used to cook dishes?" Lee Yanyi frowned.
"Yes. The taste is extremely crisp and unique." Zhou Jia now had absolute confidence in Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.
"It is indeed unique." Lee Yanyi snorted. Since he couldn't eat it, there was no need for him to stay. He turned around and left in a huff.
"This old man has a bad temper. Why doesn't he give us an explanation?" the young man muttered.
At this time, it was not good to ask Yuan Zhou again. After all, business hours were too busy.
Smoked fish was indeed difficult to make, but for Yuan Zhou, it was just a matter of time and technique.
For example, the first one was to choose the fish. Yuan Zhou felt that Crucian carps were the best. This was because the Crucian carps from the Liuhe Dragon Pond were different from others. The bigger they were, the more tender their meat would be. They also had fewer bones.
Moreover, at that time, Yuan Zhou had directly asked what kind of fish the system would provide.
"System, do you have a choice of fish?" Yuan Zhou looked at the ingredients of the smoked fish silver thread noodles and asked.
The system displayed, "Fish meat is optional."
This time, the system's answer was very straightforward, but it didn't provide a range of choices. Yuan Zhou happened to know about the Dragon Pond of Six Harmonies by chance, so he directly asked for the fish here.
The system displayed, "The materials are provided. Host, you can use them by yourself."
At this time, Yuan Zhou became curious.
"System, are the Crucian carps you provide the offspring of dragons?" Yuan Zhou knew about the legend of the Dragon Pond of Six Harmonies.
After quite a while, the system didn't respond. When Yuan Zhou prepared to cook the dishes, the system displayed again.
"According to folklore … child brides married a black dragon and lived freely in the Dragon Pond, giving birth to many offspring. The big Crucian carps in the Dragon Pond are their offspring. " When the system displayed the four words, "folklore", it made them extraordinarily large, as if it were afraid that Yuan Zhou couldn't see them.
"Each Crucian carp in the Dragon Pond weighs more than 500g. The Crucian carps in the Dragon Pond are the tributes to the imperial palace of every generation. They are famous all over the world for their small head, fat body, tender and delicate meat, and delicious taste. "
"Crucian carps are best when they taste fresh. Crucian carps are native to the soil and like to stay in the mud. Therefore, the Crucian carps in the muddy water are the most plump and the meat is slightly crispy. In winter, the Crucian carps have plentiful meat and a lot of seeds."
After the introduction of the system, Yuan Zhou caught another Crucian carp in the deep pond where the shrimps were raised. It was flat and white.
"Only in this way can the meat of the fish be loose and tender." Yuan Zhou caught the fish and sighed with emotion. Then, he started to dissect and wash it.
When it was smoked, he mainly marinated it with Qiu You for one night and then soft-fried it with vegetable oil. When it was a little cold, he coated it with sesame oil for smoking. After that, he sprinkled fennel, minced ginger and Sichuan pepper on it.
After washing the dust, he dried it and fried it again. Then, he braised it with rice wine and sweet sauce. After the excess sauce was removed, he smoked it with lychee shells.
Only in this way could the smoked fish have a clear and sweet taste and a tender and delicate taste experience. Of course, there was no smell of smoke.
As for the Silver Thread Noodles, Yuan Zhou used the method of making the Eight Treasures Noodles.
The method of making the noodles had also been used by imperial chefs in the past. Therefore, it took quite a lot of effort for Yuan Zhou to make the noodles.
The fragrance and freshness of the Eight Treasures Noodles were removed and the eight different tastes were gathered in the noodles. As for the cooking method, Yuan Zhou naturally used the noodle making techniques of the Lanzhou people. The Eight Treasures Noodles were mixed with the white flour and then kneaded with the egg white.
Although it took a long time to knead, the dough after kneading could be picked up by the fingertips and kneaded into thin strips at will. It wouldn't break even if it was 10 feet long.
That was how the chewy texture of the Silver Thread Noodles came into being. However, the details of making noodles or smoking fish were not worth mentioning to others. The young man then started to taste the next dish.
Because of the new dish, the business time at noon was quite boisterous. Of course, Zhou Jia was quite tired.
In the afternoon, Sun Ming arrived at the Yuanzhou shop early with his companions.
"Sun Ming, are you going to treat us today or what?" The tall and thin man nicknamed KFC put his hand on Sun Ming's shoulder smilingly.
"It's really not me. In my opinion, they are the unlucky ones. It's Pi who is treating us today." Sun Ming said smilingly.
"Now that you mention it, I still don't believe it. That brat always dawdles for half a day when he treats us. Why did he suddenly treat us?" KFC revealed a puzzled expression.
"I told you to taste the new dish. Do you have any more questions?" Sun Ming dragged KFC into the restaurant straightforwardly.
"You are here. Take a seat, please." Standing in the kitchen, Yuan Zhou walked out and greeted him as soon as he saw them enter.
"Pi, what's your new dish?" Sun Ming got straight to the point as soon as he entered the restaurant. KFC was more reserved and just sat at the side and listened to him attentively.
"Thin Skin Dumplings, as a snack." Yuan Zhou also said concisely.
"Sounds good. But are you going to extend the business time?" Sun Ming asked curiously.
"No, I won't."
Yuan Zhou's straightforward answer made Sun Ming feel relieved. After all, they were brothers. Sun Ming ran a restaurant himself and naturally understood how tiring it was to run a restaurant alone, not to mention Yuan Zhou's restaurant. Since the business was booming, it meant it was more tiring.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been here for a long time. So many new dishes have been added. Wait, what's the price?" Sun Ming stood up and began to look at the price list at the back.
"Welfare price." Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"If I had known there was such a price, I would have come here every day." KFC and Sun Ming said at the same time.
"That's right. One RMB. Come on, give us one serving," Sun Ming said with an air of a big boss.
Yuan Zhou, "..."
