A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Liao Wendong only ate a quarter of a piece of tofu, Xiao Zhang and the others each took a small bite and ate the rest. They even drank the broth.

"This is too fragrant!"

Xiao Zhang was amazed: "If those foreigners eat it, can't they swallow their tongues?"

Xiao Guo also nodded again and again: "Where have those foreigners seen this kind of dish?"

"Don't talk about foreigners, I haven't seen them either!"

Xiao Ma said with emotion: "Today I really learned a lot."

Listening to their emotions, Liao Wendong felt very uncomfortable.

As a chef of Hunan cuisine, he knows how to cook more Hunan cuisine than a chef from other places.

What frustrates him the most is that even what he can cook is not as delicious as others.

"Take everything with you."

Liu Wei's voice came from the other side of the desk.

He asked the help chefs behind him to bring the prepared ingredients, left the back kitchen, and went up to the banquet hall on the top floor from the staff elevator.

He wants to practice his own design philosophy and personally make banquet dishes for diners.

No one cared about his departure, everyone was busy with the work in front of them.

In front of the five-burner stove, the chefs and kitchen assistants are busy.

"Out of the pot!"

"Serve!"

The chefs shouted and shouted one by one.

After dividing [Zu'an Tofu] and serving, Li Yi brought over the simmered shark's fin, divided it into ten portions, and took it out.

This time, Xiao Zhang and the others were out of luck. The amount of shark fin was just divided into ten portions, and there was not even any soup left.

Watching the shark's fin being brought out, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't this top-quality ingredient be the finale and served last? Why was it served at the beginning?"

"Finale?"

Li Yi smiled: "Shark's fin is nothing more than a meal. It can't be overwhelmed. It can only be regarded as a warm appetizer. The main course is the real finale."

"Shark's fin isn't considered a main course?"

Xiao Zhang didn't understand.

"Of course not."

Li Yi explained: "The main course of a banquet must be the most important one, or it is the most expensive, or the most precious ingredients, or the most complicated and complicated.

This shark fin dish can definitely be the main course in an ordinary banquet.

But it wasn't quite the main course at the table I was preparing. "

"Then what is..."

Xiao Zhang asked subconsciously, but soon remembered something. He looked at a large earthen pot in the corner of the stove, and a large porcelain plate on the side table, and the top of the porcelain plate was carved with pumpkins. A soaring phoenix.

Among all the dishes prepared by Li Yi, this dish was the only one with such momentum that it could be the main course of a whole banquet.

But it wasn't time for that dish to be served.

"Prepare twelve soup cups."

Li Yi ordered, and while coming to the small stove, he picked up a large casserole with a wide mouth and a low belly, brought it back and put it on the desk.

He took the gauze, put it on the lid of the casserole, and lifted the lid, a strong smell of fish fat mixed with steaming heat came out.

The heat dissipated, revealing a square piece of fish belly in the casserole.

The fish belly was soaked in the dark red thick soup, and the residual heat of the casserole was still heating the soup, and bursts of bubbles were churning from the bottom of the pot.

The air bubbles lift up the fish belly, and the tender belly meat is like butter. It is easily stirred by the air bubbles, trembling, and DuangDuang bounces up, looking very attractive.

This was the freshest and most tender piece of fish belly taken from Qian Banban's belly. Li Yi put it in a casserole and stewed it for three hours.

Xiao Zhang and the others came over curiously, and were immediately surprised by the tenderness of the fish belly.

Xiao Guo couldn't help but marvel: "No wonder it's called [Sugar Heart Fish Belly], it really looks like a candy heart!"

Just looking at it, the fish belly gives people a smooth and tender feeling of the cream cake sandwich layer, as if you can eat it like jelly without teeth, just suck it gently with your mouth.

Hearing Xiao Guo's exclamation, Dong Haiqiang, who was on the stove beside him, couldn't help but glance over here.

Candied fish belly? Is it the [sugar-heart carp] in Zuan cuisine?

It is said that this dish is made by simmering carp with a slow fire to form a sweet heart, and the taste is as smooth as suet protein. I don't know if it is true or not.

Is this kid really going to bring all the legendary Zuan dishes to the banquet?

Dong Haiqiang looked away and looked at the mandarin fish that was being stewed in the pot, feeling a little complicated.

Originally, he was quite confident in his pine nut mandarin fish dish.

But in such a comparison, why does he feel a little overwhelmed?

After Li Yi put down the casserole, he took a thin, thin knife with a length of one foot, and slashed the fish belly in the casserole twice horizontally and three times vertically, dividing the fish belly into twelve parts. piece.

The blade did not transmit any resistance, as if cutting a puddle of water.

Seeing the number of times Li Yi cut the knife, Xiao Zhang and the others immediately became excited.

Twelve pieces were cut out, so that meant two pieces would stay and fall into their mouths.

Brother Yi is so interesting!

After cutting the fish belly, Li Yi took a large flat wooden spoon and carefully dug in from the side of the fish belly, sticking to the bottom of the casserole, and dug out a piece of fish belly.

The soup pot prepared by Xiao Zhang and the others has been put away, Li Yi carefully put the fish belly into the soup pot, and poured some soup on top.

Pick up a few pieces of emerald green scallions and put them on the fish belly, and a serving of 【Candied Fish Belly】is ready.

Xiao Zhang and the others couldn't wait to pick up [Sweet Hearted Fish Belly], put it on the tray, and sent it to the food delivery port.

"Serve!"

On the outermost side of the stove, Xia Zhuo also finished [Braised Fish Nuggets] and motioned for the cook to serve.

The helper picked up the [Braised Fish Nuggets] and walked towards Chuancaikou, just in time to meet Xiao Zhang who was carrying [Candy Heart Fish Belly].

Smelling the aroma wafting from the soup pot, the cook couldn't help but look towards Xiao Zhang.

"What kind of dish is this?"

He couldn't help asking.

"【Candied Fish Belly】."

Xiao Zhang said something with his head held high, while looking at the tray in his hand.

Seeing the 【Braised Fish Nuggets】in the tray, Xiao Zhang curled his lips and said nothing.

But seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth, the chef could read his mind.

He was clearly teasing: "That's it?"

After sending out the 【Braised Fish Nuggets】, the kitchen assistant hurried back to the stove.

Leaning close to Xia Zhuo, he whispered a few words.

Xia Zhuo was a little puzzled when he heard this, and then looked towards Li Yi with serious eyes.

After Xiao Zhang served the food, he couldn't wait to run back.

With Liao Wendong in charge, Xiao Guo and the others didn't dare to do anything wrong, they only dared to watch Liao Wendong take up the bowl containing [Sugar Heart Fish Belly], cut off a trembling fat and tender fish belly with a spoon, and brought it to his mouth side.

Liao Wendong pouted and moved to the spoon, sucked it lightly.

Ziliu!

The belly of the fish slid directly into his mouth like jelly.

I didn't squeeze it with my teeth at all, but just hit the soft meat on the tongue, and the belly of the fish instantly melted into a thick soup.

Tasting the fish belly juice carefully, Liao Wendong admired sincerely: "It's really delicious!"

Suddenly, Dong Haiqiang's voice came from behind: "Can I have a bite?"

When Liao Wendong heard this, he turned around and saw that it was him, he couldn't help being taken aback.

It was the critical moment of serving food, why did he leave the stove and come here?

But just stunned for a moment, he stepped aside: "Yes, yes! Master Dong, there is just one piece left!"

"..."

Xiao Zhang and the others looked at Dong Haiqiang who was reaching out to pick up another piece of fish belly, thinking that the knife man's eyes could no longer be hidden.
