"By the way, steaming is your secret to keep the fish skin fresh and tasty, isn't it?" Before Yuan Zhou said anything, Chu Xiao asked directly. Although it sounded like a question, Chu Xiao's tone was quite affirmative.
"Wait. How can the fish skin not shrink by steaming it?" Liu Tong seemed to have found the loophole of Yuan Zhou and stared at Yuan Zhou fixedly.
"Yes. That's exactly my problem." Chu Xiao had never figured that out, although he had cracked the secret of Yuan Zhou's knife skills and the freshness of the fish skin.
"Use ice cubes to keep the temperature of the fish skin and steam the fish." Yuan Zhou said that quite easily as if it were as simple as putting the fish into the pot.
As for how many times Yuan Zhou had practiced that himself, Yuan Zhou directly ignored it.
"I suddenly feel that I can't understand the language of Huaxia." Liu Tong looked at Yuan Zhou blankly and couldn't come to himself for an instant.
"How could the ice not melt? How could the fish not be affected?" Li Minghui couldn't keep calm at all. He directly stood up and looked at Yuan Zhou incredulously.
"I see. I see. You can actually do that. In that case, one knife is still not your best performance." Chu Xiao's eyes were blazing. He looked at Yuan Zhou as if he had met his lifelong opponent.
"Yes, I see." Yuan Zhou nodded the head lightly.
"The younger generation will surpass the older generation. It seems that it's time for me to retire." Zhou Shijie almost immediately understood what superb skills Yuan Zhou had used. There was full of emotion in his tone.
"This dish is very delicious. I'm looking forward to the next dish." Chu Xiao suddenly took out a colorful notebook from the pocket of his suit and began to write.
"He surprisingly took out a small notebook of delicacies. It's the first time that I've seen that." Liu Tong looked at Chu Xiao eagerly and then at Yuan Zhou.
The look in her eyes made it seem as if Yuan Zhou had suddenly become a peerless beauty, and Yuan Zhou took a step back to ensure his safety. After all, being a Prince Charming was sometimes very distressing.
"Why are there only two pages in your little notebook?" Zhou Shijie asked directly, looking as if he had expected it.
"Because I'm picky," Chu Xiao said bluntly.
At the same time, the pen in his hand made a "Shua Shua" sound as it touched the paper. Chu Xiao carefully recorded the dish "Weaving Brocade Diligently in Winter Clothes" and wrote the name of Yuan Zhou.
As for Yuan Zhou, he said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
After that, he turned around and returned to the kitchen, wholeheartedly starting to prepare the dishes.
To Yuan Zhou, all the customers in the restaurant were the same. Therefore, he prepared the dishes according to the order.
It wasn't difficult for Yuan Zhou to cook several dishes at a time. He was just very familiar with it.
After Chu Xiao recorded it, he started to look at Yuan Zhou without blinking. No matter what Yuan Zhou did, he didn't let go of it.
Even Zhou Shijie reminded them at the side, "You guys learn from Master Chu. Don't stand there like a block of wood."
"Okay, master." Li Minghui also started to stare at Yuan Zhou.
"Got it." Liu Tong had originally been looking at Yuan Zhou. After all, Chu Xiao had taken out a small notebook of delicacies.
Chu Xiao became famous very early. After all, he was the youngest Michelin three-star chef in history. And his small notebook of delicacies was as famous as him. It was said that Chu Xiao was a very picky person, but he would always take out a notebook to record the dishes he thought were delicious.
Then, he would try his best to defeat that chef to improve himself. Since Chu Xiao became famous until now, he had only written two pages in the notebook.
That made the chefs in the circle proud of having written more pages in the notebook, which meant that they were recognized by a genius like Chu Xiao.
Liu Tong was just trying hard to make Chu Xiao remember him. And now, there was a very good person to learn from, namely, Yuan Zhou.
Then, Chu Xiao didn't take out his small notebook anymore. Liu Tong was relieved. Just in a little while, the fifth dish was served.
"This dish is called Sliced Fish. Please take your time and enjoy." Yuan Zhou would say that every time he carried a dish to them.
The dish carried by Yuan Zhou this time was a little different from the others because the plate was relatively large.
The four of them almost ate up the first few dishes with only a few chopsticks each. The portion was just right. After eating up, they waited for the next dish. Every dish gave them a feeling of looking forward to the next one in the end.
Their taste buds had never been satisfied and they had been waiting for the next dish. However, this dish appeared to be much larger.
It was as green as a leaf, except that it was a big leaf. There were four water droplet-like containers on the leaf, which were filled with clear water. The amber butterfly-shaped fish slices were stacked on the surface of the leaf neatly.
The green color and the amber butterfly-shaped fish slices were really beautiful.
"What a beautiful plate presentation." Li Minghui said objectively.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then turned around and left.
"Is it a sweet fish?" Liu Tong knitted his brows. He didn't really want to eat it, even if the previous dishes were all very delicious. However, it wasn't so easy to get over the barrier in his heart, not to mention that he didn't like sweet fish.
"Interesting. It's surprisingly Sliced Fish Dish." Chu Xiao revealed an expression of interest.
"Young man, you are really bold." Zhou Shijie said smilingly.
As the name suggested, the Sliced Fish Dish belonged to the Sliced Fish family, just like Sliced Apple and Sliced Banana. Such a dish was generally quite popular with children. After all, it was not only sweet to eat, but also carried a layer of sugar slices when picked up, which made it quite interesting.
However, adults didn't think so. The sugar slices were long and sticky. If they didn't pay attention to eating, they would lose their image. After all, adults weren't as carefree as children. Therefore, this dish wasn't so popular among adults. That was why Chu Xiao and Zhou Shijie felt Yuan Zhou was bold and interesting.
"Let me taste it first." Zhou Shijie didn't have that kind of burden. Instead, he looked forward to Yuan Zhou's ingenious ideas on this dish very much.
"Please." Chu Xiao picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, but he still said respectfully.
Zhou Shijie nodded his head and directly reached out the chopsticks to pick up the fish meat.
Generally speaking, the Sliced Fish Dish would basically congeal into lumps once it was cold and wasn't easy to pick it up. If it was too hot, however, it couldn't be pulled out. Therefore, the key point of this dish was to eat it in time. Therefore, Zhou Shijie didn't stand on ceremony.
"Zi". When Zhou Shijie picked up the fish meat, the crystal syrup on the fish meat immediately pulled out the beautiful silk slices.
However, unlike other Sliced Fish Dish, the sugar slices broke off automatically after about 30 cm. Zhou Shijie put the fish meat into the water droplet-shaped container on the leaves and then splashed it with cold water.
At that time, a strange imagination occurred. The sugar slices on the fish meat surprisingly shrunk and curled up at once, forming beautiful patterns and directly adhering to the butterfly-shaped fish meat. It was as if the originally ordinary butterfly had a gorgeous pattern.
"Haw-haw. It's so interesting." Even Zhou Shijie became expectant.
"I have to taste it carefully." Zhou Shijie said smilingly and then directly stuffed the fish meat into his mouth.
