"Hey, let me tell you, who is this person? He's so arrogant!" Seeing that the situation was not going well, Master Qiao quietly approached a guest who was about to leave, and asked softly.
"You don't even know about him? He is Duan Qi from the 'only one' restaurant opposite, also known as Qi Ye, who specializes in cutting off other people's money! Do you know why the restaurant here couldn't open before? That's all Master Qi is here!" The man whispered, then ran away without a trace.
"Duan Qi?" Although Master Qiao had never heard of this Qi Ye, he probably understood a little bit now.
"What are you looking at?! Sit down and eat!" At this moment, the leading man named Duan Qi sat down crookedly at a table in the middle, and he couldn't sit properly. He raised one leg and placed it on a chair beside him.
"Wow!" The group of people standing at the scene, as if well-trained, sat down together, but just sat down, but no one dared to move their chopsticks.
For a moment, only a clear panting sound was heard in the vestibule.
"Let your boss come out!" After Duan Qi sat down, he began to speak.
"Employee?" Shopkeeper Li had been following Master Qiao just now, and Shopkeeper Li naturally heard what Master Qiao asked the people beside him, but he just looked at Duan Qiye as if he was here to kick the house, but he always kicked the house to find trouble. , shouldn't everyone call the shopkeeper to come out? Shopkeeper Li hesitated.
"I don't know what the seventh master is doing?" Master Qiao stretched out his hand to gently block in front of shopkeeper Li, and stood up by himself.
"Are you the boss here?" Duan Qi raised his head and cast a slanted glance at Master Qiao.
"That's exactly Qiao!" Master Qiao said respectfully.
"Drunken Immortal Building? Hehe, what a big tone! Even immortals can get drunk? Hahahaha!" Duan Qi's smile revealed strong unkindness and coldness.
"Hehe, I have never seen the immortal Qiao, but he is intoxicating, hehe, people have their own judgments." Master Qiao was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay! Now that your Zuixian Tower is open today, I, Duan Qi, will bring someone to taste it. If it catches my eye, I will stay here for now. If it's just for nothing, hum, get out of here immediately! "Duan Qi snorted coldly, his eyes were cold.
Hearing something strange in the front hall, the back kitchen was also in a state of embarrassment.
Wen Shouzheng couldn't help it when he heard that someone was coming to play in front of him.
On the first day of opening, there were people who found fault, and even complained about the dishes of Zuixianlou. Isn't this a challenge to your own craftsmanship
As the chef of Zuixianlou, Wen Shouzheng had to come forward.
"Father!" Rourou put down the spatula in her hand, seeing Wen Shou rushing out in a hurry. I'm afraid that he will do something irrational on impulse. Immediately followed out.
A large group of people in the hulala kitchen. I thought about following them, but I was afraid that Master Qiao would be displeased when he saw it, so we all lay down at the door of the back kitchen, poking around to see what was going on.
"Who are you? Why do you have to taste the dishes before you can decide whether we will stay or stay in Zuixianlou!" Wen Shouzheng stood in front of Duan Qi angrily.
"Yo! Who are you! Could it be that you are a more powerful character than your boss? Your boss hasn't spoken yet, why are you barking!" Duan Qi glanced at Wen Shouzheng slantingly, and said with a strange air.
"You!" Wen Shouzheng was about to get angry, but was held tightly by the gentleness behind him. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "I'm Wen Shouzheng, the chef of Zuixianlou! What's the matter?" Ask, just open your mouth!"
"So it's a cook, hehe. You came just in time, and I, Duan Qi, can't eat much, so let's have a fish!" Duan Qi said coldly.
"Hmph, I think I'm here for some weird stuff, isn't it just to eat fish? As for such a motivator! Wait!" Wen Shouzheng left a sentence. He went back to the small kitchen without looking back.
"Father, what fish are you going to give to that Duan Qiye?" Rou Rou chased him in, a little worried.
"Hehe, he just opened a restaurant across the street, so what good or bad can he eat? At best, he just scares people. When I make this squirrel mandarin fish and fill his mouth, let's see if he dares to yell!" Wen Wen As Shouzheng was speaking, he took out a frisky mandarin fish from the tank.
"Father! I don't think Duan Qi is an easy-talking person. He ordered fish, so he must have come prepared. Just to be on the safe side, you'd better make more preparations!" Rourou persuaded from the side.
"Hehe, don't worry, he's not a cook, at best he can only tell if it tastes good or not! He can't make a name out of it!" Wen Shouzheng was full of confidence.
Rourou stood aside, although her heart kept beating, she still took the mandarin fish from Wen Shouzheng's hand and helped to deal with it.
This mandarin fish weighs about half a catty, which is exactly the weight of the plump and tender meat.
Gently and swiftly remove the scales, gills, fins and internal organs of the mandarin fish, remove the leather coat on the fish head, wash it, chop off the fish head, spread it out and flatten it. And use a knife to cut off the fish bone on the back of the fish. The whole action is done in one go. The belly of the fish has not been cut, and only about one finger of spine is left at the tail.
"Father, here!" Rourou handed the cleaned mandarin fish to Wen Shouzheng.
Everyone was stunned, even Wen Shouzheng was suspicious, when did this girl practice such a unique skill!
Cai Miyin was behind the crowd, seeing Wenrou's skill from a distance, with a slight approval on his face, and joy in his eyes.
Duan Qi in the front hall was still waiting, and without hesitation, Wen Shouzheng immediately took over the mandarin fish after being treated gently.
Remove the bones of the mandarin fish with a copying knife, spread the skin down, and cut into flowers with an oblique knife. The knife pierces the fish deeply, but still retains the thin skin.
The crowd sighed again.
The craftsmanship of Wen's father and daughter is simply a visual feast!
Just when everyone was sighing, they saw that Wen Shouzheng made a small cut in the mandarin fish's tail, and with a simple pull, he pulled the tail out from the cut.
The whole process was like turning flowers, a whole fish changed shape in Wen Shouzheng's hands, from flat to three-dimensional.
"Father, let's start!" Rourou stood aside, sprinkled salt, pepper, and wet starch evenly on the mandarin fish, grasped it evenly with his hands, and handed it to Wen Shouzheng.
At the moment when he was gently wiping the fish, Wen Shouzheng had already prepared the hot oil pan. When the oil was 70% warm, accompanied by the gentle smoke, he held the fish tail with one hand, and put the mandarin fish gently into the pan. oil pan.
"Hiss!" There was a cheerful sound, and the mandarin fish in the pot changed color instantly.
Wen Shouzheng manipulated two chopsticks with both hands, and quickly turned the mandarin fish in the pot. After a while, the mandarin fish, which was still slightly white just now, was now golden on both sides.
The father and daughter cooperated seamlessly.
Even Chef Tang who was present felt sincere envy in his heart, his gaze first stayed on Wen Shouzheng's hands, and then shifted to Yuanzi beside him.
well! When will Yuanzi and I have such a tacit understanding!
Chef Soup sighed in his heart!
"Father! It's time!" Rourou kept watching the changes in the pot.
"Get up!" Wen Shou's face brightened, and he picked up the fried mandarin fish and put it on the plate.
"Is that all right?" Someone beside him asked.
"Hey, how can it be so fast!" Wen Shouzheng smiled, and immediately dipped the fish head in starch, put it in the oil pan and fried it until it was golden brown, took it out, and turned the side with the flower knife up Put it on the fish plate, adjust the direction of the fish head so that the head of the fish is upright and stands proudly.
"Renrou, fried pine nuts!" Wen Shouzheng said to Ruan while posing the fish head.
"Father, here it is!" As soon as the words finished, Rourou had already handed the fried pine nuts to Wen Shouzheng.
Wen Shou stared blankly, raised his head and glanced at Wen Rou, the eyes of the father and daughter met in the air, and immediately turned into a knowing smile.
"Let's put it!" Wen Shouzheng said with a smile, and he was familiar with adding a little clear soup to the pot with a small amount of bottom oil. Although the frying spoon was large, he accurately selected salt, sugar, special tomato juice, and vinegar. , the fire was violently closed, and it was boiled.
When fine bubbles appeared in the pot, Wen Shouzheng took the watery starch from the gentle hands, thickened the juice, added a little hot oil and stirred it evenly, and then started the pot.
"Hiss!" The hot sauce was poured on the mandarin fish, which was red and bright, as if a layer of magnificent rosy clouds had been cast on it.
"Okay!" With Wen Shouzheng's long yell, the gently fried pine nuts were finally sprinkled on the mandarin fish.
A plate of squirrel mandarin fish with color, aroma, taste, meaning, shape and maintenance is complete!
Looking at this bright plate of squirrel mandarin fish, everyone present made a swallowing movement in unison!
Just this plate of fish, even if you don’t eat fish, just with the bright red sauce, is enough for a person to eat a big bowl of white rice!
This sweet and sour, there is absolutely nothing to say!
"Chef Wen, I'll deliver it right away!" Zhu Zi ran up swiftly, picked up the plate of squirrel mandarin fish steadily, put some bowls of white rice on it, and walked quickly towards the front hall.
One hot worth three fresh!
Zhuzi has been sitting around for a long time, and he also knows the importance of speed of serving food to the taste of food.
"Here we go! Squirrel mandarin fish just out of the pan!" With the shout of Zhu Zi, the plate of fish dishes made by Chef Wen appeared in front of Duan Qi.
"My lord, please use it slowly!" Seeing that Duan Qi didn't move his chopsticks, Zhu Zi kindly persuaded him.
Unexpectedly, not only did Duan Qi not move his chopsticks, he didn't even lock his Adam's apple.
Could it be that this plate of squirrel mandarin fish is not to his liking
Not only the pillars, but all the people present, Master Qiao and shopkeeper Li, all had strange expressions on their faces.
"My lord, this fish won't taste good when it's cold!" Zhu Zi persuaded again.
"Hmph." Duan Qi sneered from his nose.
"Qi Ye, but what's wrong with this fish?" Shopkeeper Li tentatively stepped forward to ask.
After all, everyone in the front hall is watching!
"Hmph! How good I am as the chef of your Zuixian Tower! It turns out that I'm just an idiot copying an ordinary way!"
"You! You haven't even tasted it, why do you say that?" Someone has already informed Wen Shouzheng of the back kitchen about the movement in the front hall! Wen Shouzheng was furious when he heard the words, and rushed out with a frying spoon in hand!
