"A bowl of wonton and a serving of fried egg. Gourmet, please have a taste!"
Shu Yu carried the wonton to him personally while Gu Zheng took out a small digital camera and took a few photos of the bowl. He had already taken several photos before, including the photos of the restaurant and the entrance.
A gourmet review must be done with pictures and text. If there were only text without pictures, it wouldn't be a qualified review. A gourmet review must be done with pictures and text, and the food must be pleasing to the eyes to attract more people. Gu Zheng knew he was going to review Shu Yu's restaurant today, so he specially brought his camera.
After taking the photos, Gu Zheng sat upright and took out a bottle of water to rinse his mouth. The job of a gourmet reviewer wasn't as easy as one imagined. Since it was a review, one must be serious. One must calm down before eating and remove the impurities in one's mouth. Only in this way could one truly taste the food and make a correct review.
"The wonton is not bad. It belongs to the big wonton category with thin skin and lots of stuffing. It's just right to eat. In terms of appearance, it's above average!"
Gu Zheng spoke slowly as he scooped up a wonton with a spoon. If it were someone else, he would not have said these things. He would only write down the draft in his heart, which parts should be written and which should not be written. However, because Shu Yu and Hu Yueyue were classmates, he said a few more words.
"Big wonton? Are there small wontons?" Hu Yueyue asked curiously.
"Of course there are. Wontons are divided into different sizes. Big wontons are more common in the south and also have different names. For example, it's called Wontons in Sichuan Province, Clear Soup or Wontons in Gan Province, and in some other places, it's called Baomian or Bian Shi. In the north, it's more uniform and most of them are called Wontons, mostly Small Wontons!"
Small wontons had thinner skin and were smaller. With chopsticks dipped in the meat sauce, they could be wrapped into a wonton. The appearance of small wontons was similar to big wontons, but the taste was different. Small wontons were more bland and the skin melted as soon as it was sucked in the mouth. They were usually eaten with a bowl of chicken soup. It was very delicious.
Big wontons had thicker skin and could be cooked with noodles. Different stuffing could also be used. Therefore, big wontons were more common in the market.
"You are indeed a gourmet. You know so much!"
Hu Yueyue praised. Gu Zheng smiled and didn't say anything. He put the wonton into his mouth and slowly tasted it.
Wontons were somewhat similar to steamed buns and dumplings. To taste this type of food, one had to taste the skin first, followed by the stuffing. The skin had to be crispy. The fermenting requirements for the noodles were very high. The fermenting time had to be neither short nor long, and there couldn't be too much water. This way, the rubber bands made would be crispy and chewy, and the texture would be better when eaten with the stuffing.
............ of the famous soup dumplings he ate in the Central Plains... of it.......................
That was half a year ago when Gu Zheng went there out of admiration. Bian City's number one soup dumpling was famous throughout the country. It had thin skin, juicy juices, and thick meat. Every bite was oily, and it was very comfortable to eat. After he finished eating the dumplings, he chatted with the people inside and learned about an allusion.
The First Soup Dumpling in Bian City was praised by Taizu. It was an indispensable staple food to entertain important guests. It was said that the successor of the steamed buns had a son and a disciple. The disciple was equivalent to an adopted son and had the same surname as him.
The master of the steamed buns valued his disciple as much as his son. He wanted them to be united in the future and not be separated like brothers. Therefore, he taught them his skills separately. The son learned to make the skin, and the disciple learned to make the stuffing. It meant that the son was in charge of the outside, and the disciple was in charge of the inside.
After the master, Fu Xian, passed away, the son and the disciple finally fell out and separated.
The son inherited the master's shop and operated the First Soup Dumpling. The disciple went out and opened another shop, named after his surname. Gu Zheng ate the steamed buns that his son inherited. What his son learned was the skin. Gu Zheng only gave 80 points for the skin of his steamed buns. Shu Yu's 70 points were indeed not a small number.
However, the reason why he gave 80 points was because the steamed buns were not made by the master's son. If the steamed buns were made by the master or his son, the skin would definitely be more than that.
After taking a bite of the skin, Gu Zheng started to eat the stuffing.
Shu Yu gave Gu Zheng the commonly seen meat stuffing with spring onion, which was also commonly known as pork stuffing. After taking a bite, Gu Zheng nodded silently.
"The fine meat is mixed with Zhangqiu green onions and Fujian soy sauce. It's a pity that there is a little too much chicken essence. If there is less chicken essence, the taste would be better!"
After eating a wonton, Gu Zheng said slowly. Shu Yu opened her eyes wide.
She bought the recipe at a high price. Of course, she knew best what was used. Gu Zheng was not wrong at all. Zhangqiu green onions, Fujian soy sauce, and some other ingredients that Gu Zheng did not mention. However, to be able to say these were already very scary.
If it were other people, without knowing the ingredients, how could they tell where the green onions in the wonton came from and where the soy sauce came from?
"Not bad, Great Talent Gu. You are really capable. You can even tell?"
Hu Yueyue was also very surprised. She did not know what was in the stuffing, but she knew how to look at people's faces. Just by looking at Shu Yu's expression, she knew that Gu Zheng was absolutely right.
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. He slowly drank the soup.
Since he was going to write a review, he had to write a complete review. The wonton could be eaten less. The soup should be tasted while it was hot. The soup of the wonton was also very important. It could increase the freshness of the wonton and also supplement the nutrition of the wonton.
The soup was chicken bone soup. It was a little ordinary, which made Gu Zheng feel a little regretful.
"Gu Zheng, try this fried egg. What do you think?"
Together with the wonton, there was a whole fried egg with a golden yellow oil. From the appearance, it was very ordinary. Gu Zheng had learned Gokusen's skill of frying eggs. Although he had not practiced it yet, just by looking at the appearance of the fried egg, he knew that it was not good. Gokusen's fried eggs were completely round. White was white, yellow was yellow, and there was no oil stain. It looked like a painting.
The oil stain on the fried egg affected Gu Zheng's appetite. So he did not taste it just now. After being reminded by Shu Yu, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the fried egg.
The fried egg was a little cold. This was a mistake. Food like fried egg must be eaten while it was hot. Cold had a great impact on the taste.
"Hey!"
After taking a bite, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly. His mouth made a soft sound. The fried egg was indeed cold. It had a slight fishy smell, but the taste was not bad at all. It was crisp with a hint of sweetness. The egg white in the mouth seemed to be clear, filling the mouth.
The egg white was very crisp. It was chewed up in a few bites and swallowed into the stomach. There was also a hint of coolness, which made people feel very comfortable.
"Although this fried egg is ordinary, the taste is not bad. Why is it like this?"
Gu Zheng put down the leftover omelette and raised his head to ask. He had eaten a lot of omelettes. Now that he had learned the best omelette cooking skill, it could be said that he was very familiar with omelettes. Even so, this omelette still gave him a feeling of surprise.
"Finally, there is something you don't know!"
Shu Yu smiled proudly and looked very proud. She continued, "Look at the price list. I have two types of fried eggs. One is two pieces, the other is five pieces. They are all fried by one person, but the ingredients used are different. The two pieces are ordinary eggs, and the five pieces are special eggs that someone sent to me. My purchase price for this egg is more than three yuan, so it must be sold at five yuan!"
"That's right. I didn't understand at first, but after eating both types of fried eggs, I understood. You get what you pay for!"
Hu Yueyue chimed in from the side. Gu Zheng stood up and walked to the kitchen. As he walked, he said, "Do you still have the five pieces of eggs? Can you take one out for me to see?"
"Yes, I still have a lot. They are right there. Take a look!"
Shu Yu pointed to Gu Zheng. The kitchen staff did not stop Gu Zheng. He went straight to the kitchen and picked up the egg that Shu Yu mentioned.
"Egg, second-grade ingredient!"
Holding the egg, Gu Zheng's eyes were constantly shining with various kinds of lights. He had searched for two days and couldn't find any second-grade eggs in many breeding bases. He actually found one here. It was really like the saying, "One can wear out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find it by chance."
