I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 295 Octopus ([-])

On the long street of Huacheng, people come and go, so lively.

Two girls in gorgeous bohemian dresses hesitated for a long time at the entrance of the two newly opened restaurants. They turned on their toes and walked into the one with Japanese ornaments on the left. The cameras in their hands kept clicking and they muttered Hey: "Is this shop a neon sign? Hey, there's sashimi!"

Pushing open the door and entering, there is a white-faced young man who bows and salutes: "Welcome." I saw the signboard saying: Sashimi is available today.

The girl was overjoyed: "I want to order!"

In the first round of the business competition, Neon Country chose the most famous fish fillet sashimi.In the semi-open kitchen, stood an old man with handsome hair. Although he was old, his body showed that he was not lacking.The white-faced young student walked up to him in small steps: "Mr. Jintian, a platter."

The old man named Jintian nodded slightly, took out a thin-bladed washing knife from the cloth bag, and stretched it out to the whole big fish on the chopping board.I saw the light of the knife slashing, the fat of the fish was like snow, and was quickly sliced ​​into thin slices, which fell like snow one after another, and naturally formed into rolls.The fish fillets are as thin as paper and can be seen directly by the light. They are neatly handed onto the ice tray. From a distance, they look like plum blossoms blooming on the snow field, which is extremely enchanting.

"This knife skill!" The girl exclaimed, her open mouth could not be closed for a long time, as if watching a magic trick, watching a huge gray fish turn into crystal clear flower petals.

"Jiuhuiyu sashimi." A platter of sashimi decorated with flowers and emitting cold smoke was placed in front of the two of them, and the white-faced Xiaosheng said.

The girl lightly picked up a slice, soaked in soy sauce and then dipped in a trace of mustard sauce. After the stimulating spicy taste, the fish was fragrant and rich in sweetness, just like the feeling of kissing the first love, which is beyond words.

"Hmm—delicious!" the girl commented, a little curious, "I didn't seem to find your store on the map before, is it new?"

The white-faced young man smiled: "Now it's a competition, and this is the scene of the competition."

After asking clearly, the girl suddenly realized, and after paying the bill, she walked out of the door, still unsatisfied: "It's really rare and delicious."

Fang Zilu scratched at the door and turned his head pitifully: "Little boss, they have already welcomed the second guest, we are still empty..."

Yu Jian drank tea calmly: "Don't worry."

Half an hour later, there were more and more people on the street. Seeing more and more people crowded into the Japanese restaurant next door, Boss Yu finally stood up from the chair, did a stretching exercise, and moved Lower your muscles and raise your arms: "Open the door!"

Fang Zilu groaned, and cooperated with Chef Lai, quickly opened the curtains on both sides.The layout of the restaurant in the business competition is all done by themselves. Instead of using the traditional layout, they have made a semi-open design. As long as the surrounding windows are opened, the bright and clean cooking table can be seen at a glance, and it is connected with the tables and chairs of the same color. Together, it looks like a warm atmosphere.

Yu Jian put on a white apron, and fished out a big black and red carp. With a flash of the knife in his hand, the big fish, which was still wagging its tail, stopped moving in an instant, leaving only a slight undulation of its chest and abdomen, showing that it still had a little bit left. tone.

The first key to raw fish is the selection of raw materials. The freshness of raw materials and the quality of fish meat are the most important.

Second, is knife work.The raw fish should be thin, the size, skin texture and shape will affect the senses of diners.

She held the body of the carp with her left hand, held the knife in her right hand, and smoothly cut half of the carp's belly along the fish bone.After removing the fish skin, dry the blade again.

A crowd gradually gathered outside the door, and some people pointed out: "Is this sashimi? Can the chef know it? How do you use a kitchen knife? It must be a thick slice..."

Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face in an instant.

Under Yu Jian's hands, the fish's body actually flew up with layers of snowflakes.She held her breath and concentrated on it, the knife continued to move, the belly of the fish shrank and shrank again, and on the chopping board, only layers of fish fillets with uniform thickness were left...

Jin Yan, who was far away in Rao Township, silently clenched her fists. The sister of the Yu family's knife skills... was even better than when she was competing with her.The little girl pouted stubbornly, and secretly vowed in her heart that one day, like Sister Yu, she would also go to the world stage.

The speed of Yu Jian's blade aroused everyone's amazement. They were all tourists from all over the world. Taste, this is sashimi that comes out of an ordinary vegetable blade.

"I want a sashimi," said one.

Immediately after, another person also raised his hand: "Here, too."

More and more people poured into the Huaxia restaurant, those who had a seat sat down and looked forward to it, and those who hadn't waited for a seat patiently lined up, which stretched for several meters in a short time.

After a while, the first plate of fish was finally served on the diners' tables. The snow was like a glacier in winter, and the cold crystal fish meat covered the ice, like springs and waterfalls that formed into ice, revealing a trace of ice. chill.At the top, the thick soil on the top of the mountain is skillfully outlined with the secret sauce, and there is faint green grass that wants to break through the ground.

It's like melting snow in early spring.

The harsh winter has come, and spring is not far away.

The diner had short brown hair and a youthful face with some freckles. He didn't know how to use the chopsticks handed over by Fang Zilu, so he just picked up a slice of iced fish with bare hands.The clear water wave texture on the thin snow-colored fish is rolled in the soil on the top of the mountain and sent into the mouth.

The original raw fish is as fresh as a big fish swimming in the mouth. The meat is soft and delicate, but plump and full. The belly of the fish gathers the best essence, which is unbelievably sweet.

He seemed to feel that he had become that carp, swimming across mountains, rivers, lakes, and finally into a wider world.

He had just tasted the sashimi from the Neon Kingdom next door, and it tasted good, but he always felt that something was missing.Now that he had eaten this piece, his keen taste buds noticed it: "Metallic taste, there is no metallic taste on your fish fillets."

His high-pitched voice soon attracted a large crowd.

"Excuse my faux pas, I'm a professional food taster." He took out his business card.

Fang Zilu glanced at the long list of names, his eyes hurt, and immediately held his other clean hand perfunctorily: "Hello, hello."

The young gourmet said: "I also tasted the sashimi from the Neon Kingdom just now. I have a question. How did you keep the fish fillets from getting the smell of the knife?" , "Ordinary knives will have a little bit of metallic smell, which will remain on the ingredients. The sashimi from the Neon Kingdom just now tastes good, but I still tasted a little bit of metallic smell. You used An ordinary kitchen knife..." Shouldn't the taste be stronger?

Everyone's heads followed him and turned to Boss Xiaoyu who was still cutting the raw fish.

The little boss smiled inscrutably: "The word knife skills is not just a casual word."

As long as the knife is fast enough, the fish fillet is the most perfect fish fillet...
