"Damn it. If anyone praises me like that again in the future, I will fall out with him." Liu Tong drank another mouthful of the soup resentfully.
"It's extremely fresh and delicious. The purple perilla was used very well." Zhou Shijie squinted his eyes and said with enjoyment.
"It's indeed good. The purple perilla removes the earthy and fishy smell of the freshwater fish and the original fishy smell of the fish. The rice crust absorbs and turns into a burnt fragrance. The delicate fragrance is the final taste of the stewed purple perilla. It's really a perfect combination." Chu Xiao drank up the soup in the bowl in one gulp and said earnestly.
"Exactly. I thought the purple perilla would be inedible after it was stewed. Unexpectedly, the taste is not bad. It's surprisingly soft and soft. Compared with the burnt and crisp rice crust and the fresh and tender fish meat, I can taste three different textures at once." Zhou Shijie also said earnestly.
"Fried Rice Crust and Fish Head Soup. Interesting." A smile appeared on the flamboyant face of Chu Xiao.
"It's indeed very good. The tail is pulled back just right. It feels like the heart is missing." Zhou Shijie stroked his goatee and said contentedly.
"The rice crust tastes better than the rice you provided last time." Chu Xiao suddenly said to Zhou Shijie.
"Exactly. Those old men are good at deceiving people." Zhou Shijie got angry when he thought of those people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He gnashed his teeth and said that.
"Master, if this person is so awesome, why is he willing to stay in such a small place?" After Liu Tong drank up the soup, that was the first question he asked.
"Do you think everyone is like you and can't wait for the whole country to know you? But Boss Yuan doesn't like to show off." Zhou Shijie first glared at Liu Tong angrily and then said with a sigh.
"You guys should also learn from him. Don't always think about being famous all over the country. You should stop and study the culinary skills. Boss Yuan has the culinary skills, but he doesn't like fame and fortune. Instead, he is obsessed with the culinary skills. That's the real gourmet." Zhou Shijie not only talked about Liu Tong, but also preached to Li Minghui.
However, Yuan Zhou expressed his agreement at the side. Well, he doesn't care about fame or fortune. He only cares about others and is the successor of socialism.
"Yes, Master." Li Minghui nodded and listened carefully.
Liu Tong looked serious on the surface, but he was very unconvinced in his heart. His eyes rolled around, and no one knew what bad ideas he had.
"This is the last dish of the All-Fish Banquet, Mandarin Duck Fish Dumplings. Please enjoy." Yuan Zhou's expression was natural, as if he didn't hear the compliment. He served the last dish, which was a dessert.
As for post-meal fruits, Yuan Zhou said that he didn't have any. After all, fruits couldn't be made from fish.
The plate that Yuan Zhou served was like a Tai Chi diagram. It was divided into two sides. On one side, the dumplings that looked like ingots were golden in color, as if they were wrapped in fragrant egg skin. On the other side, the dumplings were snow-white. Through the thin dumpling skin, one could see the white and tender fish inside and the bright ingredients inside.
One side of the Tai Chi Fish's eyes was dripping with black vinegar, while the other side was dripping with fiery red chili oil. The color combination was bright and eye-catching, and it looked very appetizing.
"The fragrance, sour and spicy, is really appetizing." Zhou Shijie stroked his goatee and said contentedly.
"It's so thin. It must be wrapped according to the wonton skin. It's so fragrant." Looking at the cute little ingots, Li Minghui couldn't help praising them.
"He's really skillful." Obviously, Liu Tong thought of Yuan Zhou's kung fu of peeling off the fish skin with a knife.
"That's not the point." Chu Xiao had been frowning tightly since the dish was served.
"Oh? What do you mean? "It was the first time that Chu Xiao showed a different opinion. Zhou Shijie asked curiously.
"Boss Yuan, show me the board." Chu Xiao paid no attention to Zhou Shijie, but said to Yuan Zhou who had turned around.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhou didn't know what he meant.
"That board." Chu Xiao pointed at a white board erected in front of the chopping board on the azure stone countertop and said earnestly.
"Oh. Okay. But you can't take it out." After saying that, Yuan Zhou handed the board to Chu Xiao.
"As expected." Chu Xiao got the board and immediately pinched it to feel it and then said with a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shijie still didn't understand.
The board in Chu Xiao's hand was just a foam board. There was nothing new about it.
"Chairman Zhou, please have a look yourself." Chu Xiao handed the board to Zhou Shijie.
"Okay. Let me have a look." Zhou Shijie was also quite curious.
Once the board was in his hand, Zhou Shijie knew it wasn't foam, but some unknown soft board that looked like soft glue.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you said the point wasn't the dumplings." Zhou Shijie also heaved a sigh after seeing it and said with emotion.
On the white board, there were fish bones of all sizes densely packed. That wasn't the point. The point was that these fish bones were all arranged in the shape of fish, except for the fish head and fins.
Furthermore, the force used to insert each fishbone was the same. There was probably no one else who had the skill to pick out fishbones like this.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. After all, I'm not good at knife skills." Chu Xiao said bluntly.
It was just that Chu Xiao was a chef who specialized in carving and plate presentation, but now he said his knife skills were not good, which made Li Minghui and Liu Tong completely surprised.
"It's indeed too difficult." Zhou Shijie nodded and admitted.
"Master, I want to have a look." Li Minghui said aloud.
"Me, too." Liu Tong echoed immediately.
"It's good to have a look." After saying that, Zhou Shijie handed out the board in his hand.
"Hiss, can you do that?" Liu Tong was sitting next to Zhou Shijie. Naturally, he saw it first, and the surprise was directly shown on his face.
Then, Li Minghui kept silent for a while and then said, "In this way, all the fish bones are picked out, but the fish meat is rotten, right?"
Li Minghui swore that he didn't mean to make trouble. He just wanted to know if that was the case.
"Boss Yuan, you answer this question yourself." Zhou Shijie was a little hesitant in his heart.
Only Chu Xiao didn't think it was a problem that the fish meat would become rotten. First of all, he believed in Yuan Zhou's skills. Second, he saw with his own eyes that the fish bones that Yuan Zhou picked out were intact. There wasn't even a hole, and the knife mark was basically invisible.
"You only need to know where each bone of the fish grows and then pick it out. Just like one plus one equals two, there is a rule." Yuan Zhou's tone was quite indifferent and relaxed, as if it were very easy to pick out the bones to make the shape of the fish.
"I can't help but want to hit someone, master." Liu Tong took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Shijie for help.
"Hahaha, this old man has finally seen a real genius. One plus one equals two. Yuan Zhou, I think you want to go to heaven!" Zhou Shijie was angry and amused at the same time. He was simply speechless.
"Master, let's go first." The steady Li Minghui felt that he couldn't stay calm anymore. If this was called one plus one, then what was the name of the dishes they usually cooked? Playing with mud?
The culprit, Yuan Zhou, frowned and looked at them and said, "The bones of these fish grow in a regular pattern. Just follow this pattern."
Regarding Yuan Zhou's explanation, Li Minghui and Liu Tong replied with a "Ho Ho" at the same time.
At the same time, the same sentence appeared in their hearts, "I have a curse and I want to say it now."
