Chapter 443 Golden Lionfish

"Of course there is a difference! Just like some knowledge, you understand it and teach it to students in depth. This requires the chef to have rich experience and full control of the kitchen! The former is an excellent cook, and the latter is an excellent chef who can support a top restaurant!"

Xiao Cai: “Wow!”

Although I don’t quite understand…

Anyway, she just needs to know that Sister Zhi is super awesome!

"but……"

The old man's expression suddenly became complicated.

"In my opinion, this Wangchuantu sample should have been made by the chef Nan in charge of the kitchen."

Xiao Cai curiously asked the old man how he knew that.

The old man said helplessly, "She has to cook all these dishes herself. It will take at least a day and a night."

Xiao Cai suddenly realized:

"Oh yeah! That makes sense!"

The old man didn't know what to say.

His mood was very complicated, so complicated that it could not be summed up in words.

Probably just...jealousy.

I think he was once a genius praised by everyone, chased after, admired, yearned for and even envied by countless successors.

But now compared with Nanzhi's achievements, what he has achieved at the same age is simply not worth mentioning! Is this what it feels like for ordinary people to look up to geniuses?

The old man was a little melancholy.

It was as if I was struck by the sorrow that had come from the Wangchuan Tu sample over a thousand years, and was drowning in it together...

"Grandpa, Grandpa, another dish is coming!"

Xiao Cai's lively voice interrupted the old man's melancholy.

The old man suddenly realized that his choice to sit at the young man's table was undoubtedly the right one.

Because this can pull him out of the gloomy old age thinking and make him feel the vitality of young people.

After the cold dishes, two hot dishes were served.

Usually these two hot stir-fried dishes are cooked by stir-frying, soft stir-frying, deep-frying, sautéing, braising, and roasting.

So, one of these two dishes is the famous fried double crispy.

Xiao Cai recognized the fried double crisps that he had seen thousands of times on TV, and he let out a small exclamation on the spot! "Grandpa, it's fried double crisps!"

The old man was surprised: "You still recognize this dish? Many restaurants don't make it anymore... Wait, is this what you saw in the live broadcast again?"

"Of course!"

Xiao Cai raised her chin with pride and said that her sister Zhu openly live-broadcasted the entire cooking process.

The old man pondered:

"She is quite frank and has the demeanor of that person..."

"Ah? Who?"

Xiao Cai looked up blankly.

The old man comforted: "No one, eat."

Xiao Cai has been wanting to pick up his chopsticks for a long time.

She used the food-grabbing skills she had learned in the university cafeteria and picked up a piece of the fried crispy dish with her chopsticks steadily and accurately.

Of course, she did not forget the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young. She gave the first chopstick to her rice and kept the second chopstick for herself.

The old and the young enjoyed the meal very much.

Xiao Cai was happy because he ate the delicious food he had seen on the Internet.

The old man realized something else.

Both of these hot dishes are designed to highlight the technique and the taste is not too strong.

It seems to have continued the taste buds that were awakened by the Wangchuan Tu Xiaoyang, and also paved the way for the next dish, playing a role of connecting the preceding and the following.

Finally, the first dish was served.

Generally speaking, this dish will use precious ingredients and must shock the guests' taste buds.

So what everyone imagines are dishes like sea cucumbers, abalone, etc.

But Nanzhi used fish.

It is not a rare and precious species, just an ordinary carp.

However, no one could say anything like "not qualified".

Because the fish that appeared before his eyes was no ordinary fish—

It looks more like a giant lion's head! The fish meat is cut into strips with exquisite knife skills, each strip is slightly thinner than a chopstick, and there are more than 200 strips of fish in total. They are coated with batter and fried until each strand is distinct, fluffy and golden, just like the lifelike hair of a lion.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The fish's eyes were fierce, and its slightly opened mouth seemed to be about to roar! "Golden Lionfish."

The waiter announced the name of the dish and poured the freshly made sweet and sour sauce on it.

With a sizzling sound, hot steam rose.

The sweet and sour smell that stimulated the taste buds continued to spread in the air, entering everyone's nostrils, attracting their saliva secretion and swallowing unconsciously.

However, an even more exaggerated scene is coming.

The fish's hair, which was originally standing upright, did not droop down after being poured with the sweet and sour sauce. Instead, it was stimulated to stand up even higher! "Ah! The fish is alive!"

Someone exclaimed on the spot!

But no one laughed at him, because they were no less shocked than this man.

What is this, a cartoon scene come true?

Xiao Cai, a level 10 cartoon lover, was so excited that he almost cried:

"It's actually true... Everything in the cartoon is real..."

The old man hesitated to speak.

He really wanted to explain that this scene was planned by the chef. The carp had just been fried in the pan and the vinaigrette was also boiling hot. The collision of the two caused the fish meat to shake momentarily, which was nothing unusual.

But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed like a simple trick, but not many chefs could do it! Because you need to have precise control over the temperature of the fish and the sweet and sour sauce, so as to calculate the temperature when they arrive at the table and ensure that it is just the right temperature.

When the old man looked around, he saw that the golden lionfish on almost every table were stretching with the hair, which showed that this was not a coincidence, but the chef's 100% confidence in his ability! The old man suddenly lost his words, and his mood could no longer be described as shocking.

Numbness, only numbness.

He picked up the chopsticks and put the fish into his mouth.

The rich sweet and sour taste and the crisp taste intertwined in his mouth, just like the collision when pouring the sauce just now, gentle yet intense, but it gave his tongue and taste buds great stimulation.

The old man had not really tasted the flavor of a dish for a long time, but this golden lionfish refreshed his cognition.

This made him suddenly realize that he thought he had reached the top of the mountain in this life, but in fact, when he looked around, there were always mountains higher than the one he was looking at.

"I am not as good as him."

The old man was convinced.

Xiao Cai had no idea what the old man was thinking. Her eyes were simply purified by the beautiful golden lionfish!

Why is there such a beautiful dish? The bright red and oily sweet and sour sauce hanging on every strand of hair made her think of the blood-stained golden lion, which was a kind of heroic poetry.

Of course it’s delicious too.

When she took a bite, she could feel the air wrapped in the fish shreds. The texture was exceptionally crispy, but the delicate and tender fish meat inside was retained, layer by layer, which was very magical.

The sweet and sour sauce on the surface subtly neutralizes the greasiness brought by frying, complementing each other and enriching the thin sweet and sour taste. It is simply the best taste in the world! Oops! I forgot to take a photo!
