The size of the smoked fish silver noodles is the same as the clear soup noodles, which is equivalent to a bowl of 2 taels of noodles outside. For young people, this portion is really not much.
This person finished eating quickly, but he was reluctant to open his mouth, but there was still a delicate, smooth and chewy texture of noodles in his mouth.
After a while, the young man felt that all the aroma in his mouth had been swallowed, and then he said, "Boss Yuan, why does your smoked fish not have the burning smell of smoked fish? Instead, it has a sweet taste."
"Yes, I also want to know what this young man asked." A middle-aged man next to him also looked curious.
"Smoke it twice." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Huh? Wouldn't it be more delicious if smoked twice?" The young man looked like he was teasing me again and again.
"It's so stupid. The second time I ate it, I knew it was cold-smoked with lychee shells." Li Yanyi just happened to swallow the last mouthful of soup, glanced at it, and said with a serious face.
"Lychee shell? Cold smoked, what is this?" Most of the diners looked puzzled.
"Hmph, let's have another honey fungus." Li Yanyi ignored these people and ordered another meal.
"Sorry, sir, this dish is not available for the time being." Zhou Jia said apologetically.
"What do you mean, the new product you just launched will be gone if you don't have it." Li Yanyi looked dissatisfied.
"Yes, because one of the main ingredients in this recipe is royal jelly, and we only use fresh ones, which are then cooked by Boss Yuan himself, which is quite rare." Zhou Jia's work quality is very good, and she is also careful. explanation of.
This explanation was much better than Yuan Zhou's feeling of watching bees. At least Li Yan didn't want to hit anyone when he heard this explanation. If it was Yuan Zhou, he would definitely be talked about to death by Li Yan.
"Can royal jelly be used for cooking?" Li Yanyi frowned.
"Yes, the taste is extremely crisp and unique." Zhou Jia now has absolute confidence in Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.
"It's indeed unique enough." Li Yan snorted. Since he couldn't eat, there was no need to stay, so he turned around and walked away.
"This old man has a bad temper and still doesn't want to explain it to anyone." The young man muttered.
It’s not easy to ask Yuan Zhou again at this time, after all, the business hours are too busy.
Smoked fish is indeed difficult to make, but for Yuan Zhou it is a matter of time and skill.
For example, the first one is to choose fish. Yuanzhou thinks it is best to use crucian carp, because the crucian carp from Longchi is different from other fish. The larger the individual, the more tender the meat, and there are very few spines.
And at that time, Yuanzhou directly asked what kind of fish the system provided.
"Do you have a choice of fish provided by the system?" Yuan Zhou looked at the ingredients of the smoked fish silver noodles and asked involuntarily.
The system now reads: "Fish and meat optional."
This time the system's answer was very straightforward, but it did not provide a range of choices. Yuanzhou knew about Longchi by chance, so he directly asked for the fish here.
The system now reads: "Materials are provided and can be used by the host."
But Yuanzhou became curious at this time.
"Is the crucian carp provided by the system a descendant of the dragon?" Yuan Zhou knew the legend of the dragon pond.
After a while, there was no response from the system. When Yuan Zhou was about to cook, the system showed up again.
"Folklore... the child bride married Oolong, lived freely in Longchi, and gave birth to many descendants. The big crucian carp in Longchi is their descendant." These four words of folklore were created when the system found the words. It was extremely big, as if he was afraid that Yuan Zhou wouldn't see it.
"Each crucian carp in Longchi weighs more than a pound. Longchi crucian carp is a tribute to the imperial palaces of all dynasties. It is famous all over the world for its small head, fat body, tender and delicate meat, and delicious taste."
"Curian carp is good because of its fresh taste, and crucian carp belongs to the soil and likes to be nestled in the mud. Therefore, crucian carp in turbid water is plump and has crispy meat. In winter, crucian carp has plump meat and many eggs."
After this introduction to the system, Yuanzhou once again caught crucian carp in the deep pond where shrimps were raised. Its body was flat and white.
"This is how the fish should be, so that the meat is loose and tender." Yuanzhou sighed as he caught the fish, and then began to cut and wash it.
When smoking, it is mainly marinated in autumn oil for one night, soft-fried in vegetable oil, and when slightly cold, coated with sesame oil and placed on a rack for smoking. When smoking, sprinkle with fennel, minced ginger and pepper.
After washing some dust again, dry it and fry it again, simmer it with rice wine and sweet sauce, remove the excess sauce and smoke it with lychee shells.
The smoked fish produced in this way has a sweet taste, soft and delicate taste experience, and of course there is definitely no smoke smell.
As for the silver noodles, Yuanzhou chose the method of making Bazhen noodles.
This noodle making method was also used by imperial chefs in the past, so Yuan Zhou still took a lot of effort to make this noodle.
The aroma and umami of Bazhen are removed, and the eight flavors are combined in the noodles. As for the method, of course, the Lanzhou people’s noodle making techniques are used. Bazhen is put into white flour and kneaded with egg white.
Although it takes a long time to knead, the dough can be easily kneaded into thin strips with your fingertips, and it will not break even if it is one foot long.
Only then did the chewy texture of silver noodles appear. However, the details of making the noodles or smoking the fish were not obvious to outsiders, and the young man began to taste the next dish.
The business hours at noon were very busy because of the new products, and of course Zhou Jia was very tired.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Ming brought people to Yuanzhou's store early.
"My grandson, why don't you treat me to a treat today?" The tall and thin man nicknamed KFC put his arm around Sun Ming's shoulders with a smile on his face.
"It's really not me. If I say it, they are not lucky. Pi is treating them today." Sun Ming said with a smile.
"I don't even believe it now that I'm talking about it. That guy, who has been waiting for a long time to treat guests, is suddenly asking for something to do." KFC looked puzzled.
"They say they want to try new dishes. Do you have any questions?" Sun Ming took KFC and went directly into the store.
"Here you go, please take a seat." Yuan Zhou stood in the kitchen and walked out of the kitchen to greet people when they came in.
"Pi, what's your kid's new dish?" Sun Ming hit the topic directly as soon as he came up. KFC was more reserved, so he sat aside and listened with open ears.
"Make dumplings with thin skin and make snacks." Yuan Zhou also said concisely and comprehensively.
"Sounds good, but do you want to increase the business hours?" Sun Ming asked curiously.
"No increase."
Yuan Zhou's straightforward answer made Sun Ming feel relieved. After all, we are all brothers. Sun Ming himself is a shop owner, so he naturally understands that it is very tiring for one person to open a shop. What's more, Yuan Zhou is still a restaurant, and the business is booming, which means it is even more tiring.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been here. There are so many new dishes added. Wait, what's the price?" Sun Ming stood up and started to look at the price list at the back.
"Welfare price." Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"If I had known about this price, I would have come here every day." KFC and Sun Ming said at the same time.
"No, come on, give us a piece for one dollar." Sun Ming said like an uncle.
Yuan Zhou: "..."
ps: I'm sorry, Caimao didn't make up for it today. I really had a bad cold and was dizzy. I'll remember to make it up to you when I get better. Thank you for your support, friends.
