There was no such cheap thing in the world. Naturally, Yang Wei wouldn't be able to encounter such a thing. The pork chop he made was probably made with his unique massaging technique. Therefore, the pork chop was very soft and tender. Disregarding the crispy outer layer, the inside of the pork chop melted in one's mouth and had a unique taste.
Yang Wei had always felt very complacent. But when the Fried Pork Chop was served to him, he felt that the blow he suffered just now was nothing. No wonder people always said that the best way to defeat an opponent was to defeat him in the field he was best at.
Although Yuan Zhou didn't intend to compete with him, Yang Wei had made a comparison in his heart. As a senior in the culinary world, it wasn't a big deal for him to lose to a junior. As the saying goes, the new generation excels the old. But he was probably the only one who would lose miserably in the area that he was most proud of.
Yang Wei had thought too much. With Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship, as long as it was a cuisine that Yuan Zhou owned, he would definitely lose.
The color of the pork chop in front of him was very beautiful. It wasn't just golden yellow. Moreover, it didn't seem to be made by Yang Wei himself to ensure that the color was bright and dazzling. Instead, it was a bit darker. Logically speaking, this color shouldn't look good. Bright colors should look good.
But this pork chop looked very good. The color was the same, and it was bigger than a palm. It was laid flat on a rectangular plate, looking like a whole piece.
Even with Yang Wei's eyesight, he had to carefully compare it one by one. Only by looking at the subtle changes in the yellowish particles on the surface could he tell that it had indeed been cut.
Gu Xun didn't have such eyesight, "Master Yang, how about I split it in the middle and we each get half?"
Everyone got the same amount, so no one would blame the other. Gu Xun had a good idea. It was necessary to respect the old and love the young.
Yang Wei was still immersed in the shock, but Gu Xun's words woke him up. "It's not the first time I've known that Head Chef Yuan's cooking skills are good. The other cuisines are so perfect. It doesn't make sense that Shanghai Cuisine isn't the same. Our Shanghai Cuisine is also good. I can continue to work hard to surpass them if I can't compete with them."
He was one year away from turning 60 this year, so he still had time to study hard. Thus, Yang Wei regrouped and picked up his chopsticks, intending to eat more, savor the taste, and improve it when he returned.
Before Gu Xun could divide the pork chops, he gently lifted his chopsticks and touched the front of the pork chops. Then, like dominoes, the pork chops fell down one by one in an orderly manner, like wheat sprouts bent by the wind, falling in one direction. It was very beautiful to look at.
The pork chop of the same size didn't reveal its contents even when it fell down. Even when it fell down. Every angle seemed to be measured with a ruler. The thickness was exactly the thickness of the outer layer of the fried pork chop.
"So magical?" Gu Xun's eyes widened.
He had thought that the pork chop was a whole piece. It wasn't that he had never eaten this kind of fried pork chop before. The most important thing was to hold and gnaw on the pork chop. Therefore, it wasn't a big deal if Yuan Zhou didn't cut the pork chop. But he didn't expect that he had failed to notice it.
Ignoring Gu Xun's astonishment, Yang Wei picked up a piece of pork chop and put it into his mouth. "Ka Ca". It sounded like the crispy outer layer was bitten into pieces. The perfectly fried breadcrumbs had no moisture at all, so the moment he bit into it, it broke.
Although it was crispy, it didn't seem greasy at all because it was dry and clear. Instead, it was crispy. But as his teeth dug deeper, the pork chop inside was revealed. When he touched it, Yang Wei's first reaction was that it was really tender.
It was comparable to the tenderness and smoothness of tofu, but it also had some other taste. Its tenderness was divided into different levels. The part near the outer layer was also tender, but because it could directly touch a part of the oil, it appeared to be crispy and tender. If it went a little deeper, it would be ordinary tender. Finally, the center part directly melted as soon as it touched the oil.
Not to mention that it didn't have so much juice after being marinated, but it still tasted a lot. At least, it was just the right degree of fullness. It was really to the extent that one bit more would be too much and one bit less would be too little.
The taste advanced layer by layer. It was just a piece of pork chop, but it gave people several taste experiences and paid attention to the delicacy. Compared with his pork chop which was only crispy and melted in the mouth, it was indeed much better.
Moreover, it was eaten with an empty mouth. If it was dipped in the special spicy soy sauce, the taste would be better.
Spicy soy sauce was widely used and special in Shanghai Cuisine, especially when the fried pork chop was matched with the special spicy soy sauce of Shanghai. It was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Gu Xun was a loyal fan of spicy soy sauce. Therefore, unlike Yang Wei who was eager to taste the authentic fried pork chop, he picked up a piece of pork chop and dipped it directly into the plate beside him.
The plate was full of spicy soy sauce. Compared with ordinary soy sauce, the color of spicy soy sauce was extraordinarily beautiful. It was not as light as light soy sauce, nor as strong as old soy sauce. With a little bit of red, it looked extraordinarily beautiful.
"Huala"
When the crispy outer layer came into contact with the spicy soy sauce, the dense holes were filled by the soy sauce, making a satisfied moan, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Then, when it was stuffed into the mouth, the sound was no longer crispy because of the spicy soy sauce. Instead, it sounded a little dull, like the sound made by the chimes, with a heavy and deep feeling.
The slightly spicy soy sauce was mixed with the crispy fragrance, which didn't make people feel abrupt. On the contrary, because of the spicy soy sauce, it seemed that the crispy outer layer became more active. With the soy sauce dancing on the tip of the tongue, the originally dry outer layer became a little more moist after soaking, but the spiciness made it very unrestrained.
The contradictory feeling was finally neutralized by the rich meat chop, making the slightly plump meat more juicy and refreshing. The taste was really great.
Anyway, Gu Xun was also a person who liked fried pork chop, but he had never eaten such a perfect fried pork chop. He could even find some shortcomings of the fried pork chop made by Yang Wei, such as a little greasy, tender in some places, a little overcooked in some places, and so on. Although there were some minor problems, as a professional chef, he could still find them. This was the pride of a professional chef.
This was not applicable to Yuan Zhou at all. Anyway, he couldn't find any problems. Of course, if the portion was small, it was also a shortcoming, and he could still do it.
When Yang Wei ate the last piece, he remembered that he hadn't dipped it in the spicy soy sauce to try the taste. He smashed it in his mouth, but it didn't have the sticky feeling of eating fried food. On the contrary, it was very refreshing, and there was no residue except for the fragrance.
Yang Wei still decided to eat the last piece with the spicy soy sauce. The completely different taste made him feel that it was not a problem to eat two more plates. He was very satisfied!
The two of them ate the fried pork chop in full swing as if it was their favorite, but when the new dish was served, they immediately abandoned the empty plate and threw themselves into the embrace of the new dish. Their agile actions were like a scumbag who liked the new and hated the old.
