Taro Kugawa finally finished his hibiscus shrimp. In his opinion, the hibiscus shrimp he made can be said to be somewhat extraordinary, and it should definitely be able to exceed 80%.
But when he heard Ye Fei's rating, the guy's face suddenly turned bitter.
fifty points!
Ye Fei didn't think twice and just gave this guy fifty points. The meaning was very obvious and there was no room for negotiation. You can only get fifty points for this dish at most.
To be honest, Taro Kugawa's hibiscus shrimp dish is really quite good. If it were in an ordinary hotel, this would be the signature dish.
When making it, Ye Fei had already said that this delicacy was more successful than the previous Genghis Khan barbecue because Taro Kugawa had perfected the shape and color of this delicacy.
The color, flavor and shape of a dish, this product embodies two characteristics in this delicacy, but even so, it is still fifty points.
Although the audience can't smell the hibiscus shrimp dish made by Taro Kugawa, or taste what the dish tastes like, they can see the appearance of the dish through the video in Ye Fei's live broadcast room.
In the eyes of many people, the appearance of this dish is already very good, and it can at least be rated 70 points or more. Therefore, many people do not understand why Ye Fei gave 50 points to Taro Kugawa.
"What's wrong with Ye Shen? Fifty points? This dish of Kuchuan Taro has the same score as the previous Genghis Khan barbecue."
"Holy crap, what the hell is going on? I think this guy's delicacy is pretty good. At least it's much better than the last one."
"I think that's the case too, but why did Ye Shen only give him fifty points?"
"What do you mean by this? Are you doubting Ye Shen's judgment? Let me tell you, Ye Shen said this delicacy is fifty points, so it can only be fifty points."
"That's right, I still trust Ye Shen's judgment very much. He said this delicacy is worth 50 points, so he must have a reason. Let's see how he reviews it."
"Such a beautiful delicacy is only given 50 points. It seems that Ye Shen's requirements for delicacies are really too high."
"What I'm most concerned about right now is Ye Shen's review of Taro Kugawa's delicacy. Why on earth did he only get fifty points?"
Everyone was very curious, and they were all waiting for Ye Fei to give a detailed evaluation of Taro Kuchuan's delicacy.
Taro Jiuchuan also looked at Ye Fei.
Nanako Matsushima also looked directly at Ye Fei. She is Taro Kugawa's assistant. She knows Taro Kugawa's skill in making this dish. It can be said that the plate of hibiscus shrimp in front of her is definitely made by Taro Kugawa. The most ideal hibiscus shrimp I have ever had, but for such an ideal plate of hibiscus shrimp, Ye Fei actually gave such a low score. Are you going to be so cruel? I know that your cooking skills are very good, and I also know that you have very high requirements for delicious food, but even so, you can't just stare and give points randomly.
"Mr. Ye Fei, I want to know what is wrong with Jiuchuan Jun's delicacy. I would like you to comment in detail."
Before Taro Kugawa spoke, Nanako Matsushima asked directly for him.
Ye Fei glanced at this beautiful woman who seldom spoke, then looked at Taro Kuchuan, and said with a smile: "What? Are you not convinced by this score?"
Taro Kuchuan did not speak.
It was Matsushima Nanako who said: "If you want to convince people, you have to give sufficient reasons. In my opinion, Jiuchuan-kun's hibiscus shrimp has reached a very high level in gourmet food."
"Oh? Okay, then let's talk about this hibiscus shrimp. I will give you a good reason. First, let's talk about this dish. This is a Cantonese dish, and it is also a Chinese dish. Our Chinese cuisine is very particular. It’s the color, fragrance, and appearance, right?”
This time Matsushima Nanako didn't speak, but Kugawa Taro nodded. He was still very clear about this. He had also studied Chinese cuisine and knew several characteristics of Chinese cuisine.
Ye Fei continued: "Looking at the appearance of this dish, it does meet the two characteristics of Chinese cuisine, that is, color and shape. Its color is golden and attractive, which makes people appetite after seeing it. Although its shape is not It is said to be perfect, at least it is pleasing to the eye, and even the aroma of this dish is very good. If you look at these characteristics alone, this delicacy can be rated more than eighty points, but Mr. Taro Kugawa, if If I read it correctly, when you were cooking this delicacy just now, you started putting shrimps in the pot when the oil in the pot reached 80% heat, which is what we in China call "high oil pot", right?"
Taro Kugawa nodded and said: "Yes, according to my research on Chinese cuisine, an oil pan that is 80% hot is best for frying and stir-frying. Am I wrong?"
Ye Fei shook his head and said, "You are right."
"But why do you ask that question?"
"I said you were right, but I didn't say you were right. The oil pan is suitable for quick stir-frying and deep-frying. This is correct, but it also depends on what ingredients are used, and whether stir-frying and deep-frying are required. How long does it take to fry? The ingredient you use for this dish is shrimp. Shrimp is a seafood ingredient. What is the characteristic of seafood? It is fresh! In order to pursue the ultimate umami taste of seafood, people even eat many seafood raw. , although shrimp is rarely eaten raw, if you cook it too well, the meat will become old and the skin will change, which is often said to be over-fried. You are a Japanese Man, I think you know the ingredient shrimp better than I do. Whether it is fried, steamed or boiled shrimp, the control of heat and time is the most important. To make them cooked but not old, fresh and fresh. It has to be tasty.”
"Think about what you did just now. You used 80% hot oil to fry the shrimps, and it took a long time. Although the shrimps are wrapped with a layer of egg liquid and bread crumbs, these are basically It’s not enough to guarantee that the shrimp meat will not be fried. If you don’t believe it, you can try a shrimp and see how it feels. If the shrimp still tastes fresh and delicious, then I lose this game.”
Ye Fei said a lot in one breath, and then looked at Taro Jiuchuan.
Jiuchuan Taro was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Ye Fei to observe so carefully while he was doing it.
However, in order to prove whether Ye Fei's words were true or false, he slowly picked up a hibiscus shrimp, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
The outside of the shrimp has been fried to a golden crisp. When you take one bite, it makes a crisp clicking sound, and then a little bit of bread crumbs fall out.
He didn't even bother to catch it with his hands, but hurriedly tasted the shrimp meat in his mouth.
It’s just that you don’t know until you taste it. This time, Taro Kugawa... In front of everyone, he spit out all the shrimp meat in his mouth into the trash can nearby.
Taro Kugawa's face was ashen, standing there, holding the remaining shrimp meat in his hand, looking straight at Ye Fei, unable to say a word.
Because just now, after he ate the hibiscus shrimp he made, he felt that the shrimp meat was obviously overcooked, very hard, and tasteless like chewing a piece of wax in his mouth. Eating this kind of shrimp is simply... Suffer.
When the audience saw Taro Kugawa take a bite of the hibiscus shrimp he made and then spit it out, they all understood that Ye Shen was right about this delicacy.
Ye Fei looked at Taro Jiuchuan with a smile and said: "Although a dish is about color, aroma and shape, I think the most important thing than these three characteristics is taste. Taste is divided into the aroma smelled by the sense of smell and the taste tasted by the taste buds. Fragrance, in the final analysis, when you cook a dish, it is for the sake of eating. Only when it is eaten in your mouth and stomach, can your dish have the meaning of existence. Your dish is very beautiful, but it is not delicious. There is another problem. The reason is that your three basic shrimps are missing a step in the processing. You retain the shrimp shells. Even if you dip them in the egg liquid, the egg flavor cannot match the fresh shrimp flavor. The Tao is mixed together, so I say that you failed in cooking, and I will give you fifty points... Haha, it is still high."
After saying that, Ye Fei didn't look at Taro Kugawa and Nanako Matsushima anymore. He just started to pack up the tools that Taro Kugawa pulled out, then turned around, opened a storage compartment, stretched out his hand, and grabbed it out. Three prawns…
