787. Eat a big meal
This time, I didn't come directly to the door for nine days, and the business of the floating restaurant has been very good, and if you don't say it in advance, it will be difficult for people to do it. After returning to Immortal King City yesterday, Jiutian told Cai Zhengquan that he was going to eat today, so he arranged the place in advance.
When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, Jiutian saw Cai Zhengquan waiting at the door with Shitao, which made him somewhat flattered. It stands to reason that now is the meal, and when there are the most guests, Cai Zhengquan should be very busy.
"Brother Cai, you are too polite, why did you come out to pick me up, did you delay your work. "Nine Heavens greeted him.
"The main thing is that Shitao knows that you are coming, so she has to come in advance. Cai Zhengquan said with a smile, "And there are other masters in charge of cooking, and they are not too busy, so today is mainly to entertain you." ”
Jiutian looked at the little girl, and then reached out and hugged her, "Do you miss your brother?"
The little girl nodded again and again, "I've thought about it...... Well, cat, come here!" the little girl said perfunctorily, but her eyes were on Groot, and she reached out to catch Groot.
It's been a lot of hurt in the next nine days, Shi Tao doesn't miss him, she just thinks about Groot.
Shovel presumptuously!Groot glanced at Shi Tao contemptuously and easily dodged it.
"Cats are so bad, don't run!" the little girl pouted, looking unhappy.
Jiutian smiled, grabbed Groot and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, and gave Groot a warning look, telling him to accept the ravage honestly.
The little girl smiled and laughed like a silver bell, and Groot had nothing to love. Paralyzed, shoveling, don't you love me?
The door was not a place to chat, so Cai Zhengquan took them to the box. The floating restaurant not only has an outdoor pavilion, but also an indoor private room. After all, the weather is cold, and eating in the open air is refreshing in the summer, but eating in the open air now is a bad thing.
The house is large in size and has an open plan kitchen attached. The location of the box is also very good, open the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the lake is as far as the eye can see. Today, the weather is sunny and the view is wide, and eating in such a place makes people feel good and look forward to it.
Cai Zhengquan asked the waiter to arrange for them to sit down for nine days, and served tea and snacks, and Shi Tao also followed to the table, and then he went out to change into a chef's uniform and walked in. The family understood in nine days that Cai Zhengquan not only cooked for them personally, but also demonstrated it on the spot.
Guan Ziping's eyes widened, and he muttered: "Absolutely! Absolutely! I didn't expect that one day I, Guan Ziping, would not only be able to taste Cai Zhengquan's own cooking, but also see him cooking himself, and his ancestors would manifest themselves!"
When Jiutian heard this, he sprayed him with a mouthful of water, he felt that if Guan Ziping's family heard this, it was estimated that he would be given a beating, and the ancestor appeared just to let you have a big meal?
Soon someone brought in a whole giant scale fish, but it had already been processed. The giant fish is huge, and when you put it up, it takes up the entire table. Jiutian looked at his own people, and estimated that he might not be able to eat this fish.
Cai Zhengquan was very thoughtful, and when the fish came up, he didn't cook it immediately, but let Jiutian and others choose, which part he wanted to eat directly, and he started cooking after choosing. After all, if they follow the entire giant scale fish feast, there are more than 20 dishes, and they will only have three adults and one child, they will definitely not be able to eat them all, it will be too wasteful.
Jiutian chose the location of the belly of the fish, he didn't eat much fish, but he knew that this part had the fewest spines and the most tender meat. As for the second part, he had a bit of a hard time.
Cai Zhengquan gave advice in a timely manner, saying: "You can choose gill meat, this is the most essential part of the giant scale fish, the meat is tender, thornless, it can be called the best, and it is suitable for making yusheng"
Jiutian happily accepted this suggestion, believing that with Cai Zhengquan's professional standards, it would definitely be better than his own choice.
After the three of them chosen, Cai Zhengquan began to do it, and all three of them chose fish belly meat, so this part should be made in three parts. The fish is already processed, so there is no need for external processing. Cai Zhengquan took the knife, carefully cut into the texture of the fish, and took off three palm-sized pieces of rose-red fish.
The texture of the meat is beautiful, and the red fish flesh and white fat complement each other, like a work of art.
Cai Zhengquan took three pieces of fish belly meat in a row, cut them into thin fillets, sprinkled some salt and condiments, then sprayed some grease with an oil spray can, and finally wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator for freezing.
This mode of eating is not just for eating, sometimes it is more like the performance of a chef. Seeing him handle the fish like this, Jiutian asked with some curiosity: "What kind of processing method is this, why don't you just start cooking?" ”
Cai Zhengquan smiled: "You'll know later." ”
In fact, it's not troublesome, after Cai Zhengquan chilled the shellfish, and then wrapped it in aluminum foil and put it in the oven, there was an original scorching river fresh.
Giant scale fish is a delicacy, with the umami of freshwater fish, but without the fishy smell of freshwater fish, simply grilled with fire, no need to add oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, just wait for the roast to be eaten.
In fact, looking at Cai Zhengquan's method, Jiutian didn't have much expectation, and it didn't feel like there was any taste.
The fish is thinly sliced and almost white jade when picked up with chopsticks, and the transparent soup flows down the meat, and the sunlight from the lake shines faintly through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
I looked at the fish, stuffed it into my mouth for nine days and chewed it gently, and first tasted the umami of the fish soup, which is the unique taste of river fresh, and the delicious taste is appetizing.
The meat of Hexian is generally too strong, and it may be very dry to chew, but the meat of giant scale fish is tender, especially when Cai Zhengquan also cut the meat into thin slices, which is even more tender. Eating the fish meat on the plate into his mouth, Jiutian was satisfied.
Next came the second dish, Jiutian originally ordered gilll meat, but Cai Zhengquan's final presentation was not gill meat, but another. On the plate in front of Jiutian was a piece of grilled fish, slightly charred on the outside, sprinkled with a little crystal salt, exuding the burnt aroma of fat, but it was unique.
"I don't see any of you ordering this, but this one is also delicious, this part of the giant scale fish has the firmest meat, and after the fire, the oil flowers are grilled, and the fragrance permeates every part of the meat, please taste it." ”
Jiutian put a piece of chopsticks into his mouth, this fish meat has no fishy smell, because of the fire, the fat fragrance is very strong, and there is a sweet taste echoing in the mouth after eating.
Chewing on the fish, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "It's a delicacy recommended by the chef, it's really amazing." ”
