"Um? Chu Xiao, taste this taste. "Zhou Shijie immediately turned his head and said to Chu Xiao after he tasted it for the first time.
"Ok." Chu Xiao nodded the head.
Then, he drank a mouthful of the plain water provided by the Welcoming Set Meal unhurriedly and then picked up the fish fillet with the chopsticks and started to eat.
"It seems to be another dish that is hard to surpass." Li Minghui sighed inwardly, but his hands didn't slow down. He also picked up a fish fillet and prepared to eat.
"I'll just pick up one and taste it." Liu Tong muttered in a low voice and then prepared to pick up the fish to eat.
Zhou Shijie, who tasted it first, had already squinted his eyes and set out for the next fish fillet.
At that time, the fish fillet of Chu Xiao had just entered his mouth.
Speaking of which, the cooking method of the Sliced Silk Fish was really very simple. It was nothing more than cutting the fish fillet into butterfly shapes and then wrapping it with the egg mixture and deep-frying it. Finally, he scooped it up and put it aside to control the oil. After that, he simmered the syrup over a small fire and finally put the fish fillet inside to stir-fry.
Speaking of which, this dish was only a matter of a few words.
"Ka La". As soon as the fish fillet entered his mouth, Chu Xiao bit it lightly. The crispy outer shell wrapped with the sweet honey syrup split open and revealed the fresh and tender fish fillet inside.
"Hiss. It's quite hot." Chu Xiao said vaguely.
After the outer shell split open, the gravy that flowed out along with the fish fillet immediately poured onto his tongue. As it was a little hot, Chu Xiao slightly retracted his tongue. Then, he obviously felt a burst of fresh and sweet spread out on the tip of his tongue.
As a matter of fact, everyone's tongue had a similar ability of taste. Edwin G. Boleyn, a psychology professor at Harvard, once published a paper saying that different parts of the tongue could distinguish different tastes. However, this theory was later disproved by Virginia Collins.
As a matter of fact, there were only differences in the sensitivity of the tongue to taste. Moreover, the difference was very small. However, as one of the top chefs, Chu Xiao's tongue was undoubtedly extraordinarily sensitive.
Therefore, the fresh and sweet soup wrapped in the crispy shell made Chu Xiao feel refreshed, like a nimble fish swimming past.
"Ka Ca Ka Ca". Chu Xiao bit into the shell with two bites, and the tender fish meat inside immediately met with the crispy shell. On one side was the astonishingly tender fish meat, on the other side was the fragrant and crispy fish meat, and in the middle was the fresh and delicious fish meat gravy, which directly dominated the two tastes.
It was as if a ball was being held in his mouth. Everyone was the protagonist, but they were being led in an orderly manner. Wave after wave of extreme taste enjoyment exploded in Chu Xiao's mouth and flowed into his stomach.
"I didn't expect fish could be cooked this way." Chu Xiao sighed with emotion. Then, he quickly picked up a piece of fish.
"Exactly. It's not sweet at all. Moreover, it's extraordinarily chewy. It's simply specially prepared for this old man. You juniors should eat less of it." Zhou Shijie said honestly and immodestly.
"You are wrong. The fish meat is fresh and sweet and maintains the perfect freshness and tenderness. The shell is crispy yet very easy to chew. Besides, it has a beautiful butterfly shape and interesting patterns. Such a gorgeous dish is naturally suitable for us young people." Chu Xiao didn't give in at all and said that.
"Teacher, it's not a trivial matter." Li Minghui swallowed a mouthful of fish and said solemnly.
Of course, it would be more convincing if he moved his hands a little slower.
"Yes, yes, yes. Master's wife has instructed us not to eat anything too sweet. Besides, you also said so for the previous few dishes." Liu Tong, who had promised to eat only one piece, had long forgotten it. He picked up the fish meat from Li Minghui's mouth ceaselessly.
"You little brats. How dare you snatch food from this old man? You are really shameless." Although Zhou Shijie was panting with anger, his hands were not slow at all. He picked up the fish meat from Li Minghui's mouth agilely.
His actions could be compared with those of the old men and women who strode quickly at the entrance of the supermarket every morning to fight for the special vegetables. He was extremely steady, accurate and fierce.
"No wonder the teacher thinks highly of him. He can make such a simple dish of Candied Silk Fish so sweet and not greasy. Besides, he can perfectly bring out the freshness of the fish meat." Li Minghui put down the chopsticks contentedly and sighed with emotion inwardly.
"Where's the promised ordinary Candied Silk Fish? How can it be so delicious? I can't even refuse the sweet fish." Liu Tong couldn't help sighing.
Surprisingly, there was such a master like Yuan Zhou in such a small restaurant. Liu Tong and Zhou Shijie were really convinced.
As for Chu Xiao, he took out his small notebook again and wrote down the dishes with a sound of "Shua Shua".
Candied Silk Fish: a simple and quick cooking method with superb and skillful skills. The freshness of the fish is perfectly brought out and the proper sweetness is blended into it.
Chef: Yuan Zhou.
In Chu Xiao's small notebook of delicacies, only one dish would be recorded in it. This was the second dish of Yuan Zhou.
The two names of the chef, Yuan Zhou, were quite conspicuous.
"I think you can just write your name. Otherwise, it won't fit." Zhou Shijie glanced at it and said smilingly.
"It's not the right time yet." Chu Xiao closed the small notebook and said earnestly.
"Whatever you want." Chairman Zhou didn't say much.
While the four people were eating happily, Wuhai, who had just entered the restaurant, couldn't sit still anymore.
"Zhou Jia, I also want a serving of All-Fish Banquet." Wuhai said generously.
"Excuse me, is there any important day today?" Zhou Jia didn't write it down, but asked that way.
"Why do you ask that?" Wuhai suddenly had a bad premonition.
To be more specific, it was as if some unruly people wanted to stop him from eating the delicious fish.
"Mr. Wu, please check the requirements of this dish." Zhou Jia smiled on the surface, but she was a little helpless in the heart.
There were still so many requirements for such an expensive dish. As expected of her boss, she was always capricious.
"What do you mean by only ordering it when it's important?" Wuhai didn't understand.
"My boss said it's probably an important treat or a birthday." Zhou Jia answered smilingly.
"Birthday?" Wuhai's heart jolted. That was so damn funny.
"Yes. So you want to change another one?" Zhou Jia suggested.
As a painter, Wuhai was usually treated to meals by others. He seldom treated others to meals. Only his younger sister or his agent, Zheng Jiawei, had come to eat with him. He wasn't willing to take others to his restaurant.
Therefore, it wasn't easy for Wuhai to treat others to a meal. As for the birthday, Wuhai couldn't help getting angry.
"Boss Yuan, what do you mean by this? Are you purposely making things difficult for me by serving a new dish?" Pointing at the All-Fish Banquet, Wuhai stroked his small mustaches and asked while glaring at him.
"Just follow the rules." Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"Rules? You can't eat two servings of other dishes. I don't mind that you almost starved to death at the beginning. I don't mind that you closed the restaurant to rest and almost starved to death. But what do you mean by only ordering it on my birthday? "Wuhai counted Yuan Zhou's crimes one by one and asked him bitterly.
Looking at the agitated Wuhai, Yuan Zhou felt a little puzzled in his heart. However, he still said lightly, "It's the rules."
"Nonsense. I think you just don't want me to eat this dish because you know it's my birthday in the leap month of a leap year. That's so horrible. How can you be like this, Boss Yuan? It's meat, not vegetables." Wuhai's tone was quite sorrowful. Anyone who heard it would feel sad and cry.
However, Yuan Zhou couldn't help rolling on the ground with laughter inwardly.
"A birthday in the leap month of a leap year means I can't celebrate many birthdays in my life." Yuan Zhou indicated that he really didn't laugh. Really.
"Then do you celebrate your birthday?" Yuan Zhou asked primly with a straight face.
