From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 335: Using fakes to compete with real ones (please vote for me)
Boss Wang has been in Quancheng for a while, so naturally this is not the first time he has eaten the Nine-turn Large Intestine.

Even this dish has different tastes in different restaurants in Quancheng. Boss Wang has almost tasted it.

But today, Feng Zhengming’s plate of nine-turn large intestine gave Boss Wang a different taste.

It can be said that the nine-turn large intestine that Boss Wang has eaten at other restaurants has a relatively strong sweet and sour taste.

It once made Boss Wang think that the Nine-turn Large Intestine is just a sweet and sour large intestine?

When I ate this dish made by Feng Zhengming today, Boss Wang suddenly had a different taste.

Sour, sweet, salty, bitter.

These four flavors can really be tasted.

It's really a kind of sour and sweet, and after chewing, you can taste the salty taste of the large intestine.

When you chew it to the end and taste it in your ears, you will taste the spiciness of pepper and the last bit of bitterness of Amomum villosum and cinnamon powder.

“It’s really delicious, the taste is really different from other restaurants.”

Mixed with the soft glutinous rice of the large intestine, and the fat of the large intestine itself.

Boss Wang said: "We have eaten at many places here, and the taste is basically the same. They are all sweet and sour, some are sweet and some are sour. After eating it, I feel that they are all the same."

She knew very well how authentic the nine-turn large intestine dish made by Feng Zhengming was.

Tao Mengran came back to her senses and said: "Yes, this is the most traditional taste. If it is just sour and sweet, whether it is sweet or sour, and cannot taste salty, bitter or spicy, it is wrong. .”

This taste may be something that almost no restaurants or restaurants in Quancheng can produce nowadays.

Perhaps for most Quancheng locals, this taste of Nine-turn Large Intestine is not what they remember.

On Feng Zhengming's side, he was steaming and taking out the flesh of the large yellow croaker that had been cooked in the fish soup, and then kneading the flesh into strands, and then mixed it with the eggs.

She has also eaten in other restaurants and restaurants over the years.

It turns out that the most authentic version of Nine Turns Large Intestine should taste like this.

Because I was too young at that time, so my memory of the taste is wrong?
The nine-turn large intestine should taste like the ones made in big restaurants outside.

Finally, stir-fry the egg white mixed with the yellow croaker meat at the bottom, then cover it with the fried egg yolk mixed with the large yellow croaker meat, and pour in some ginger vinegar, and add a small dish of ginger vinegar next to it. In this way, the crab game is complete .

Maybe it’s because no one has made this flavor for a long time.

Then Boss Wang pointed to the plate and said: "But today's nine-turn large intestine is different. It's sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy. You can really taste it. The flavors are well integrated and the sourness is revealed." Sweet, followed by salty, bitter and spicy, it’s really a different taste and it’s delicious.”

As a person who grew up in Quancheng, Tao Mengran used to eat the nine-turn large intestine made by old chefs with his father.

Feng Zhengming’s nine-turn large intestine dish tonight really surprised everyone.

Tao Mengran responded with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the compliment. I'm actually not very good at eating. I just tasted this when I was a kid."

"Yes, you really can't get such a taste in other restaurants."

Others also thought about it and couldn't help but praise it.

Tao Mengran didn't pay attention to her brother for the first time. She was actually shocked by the nine-turn large intestine.

After eating a nine-turn large intestine, the intertwining of several flavors is really just right.

Fry with low heat and water throughout the process to allow the eggs to slowly coagulate.

"Is this the authentic taste of the nine-turn large intestine?"

Tao Mengran had tasted the nine-turn large intestine made by the old chef with her father before.

But the taste they made was not the taste Tao Mengran remembered eating for the first time.

Now Tao Mengran can be sure that it is not his memory that is wrong. Jiuzuan Large Intestine does not only have the taste that is made in big restaurants outside.

Tao Mengran once thought that maybe the taste in his memory was biased?

After listening to Boss Wang’s serious comments, everyone knew that Boss Wang was very satisfied with this plate of nine-turn large intestine.

It’s not that the food made in big restaurants doesn’t taste good.

Sweet and sour, salty, spicy with pepper, and a little bit of bitterness at the end.

This adds some color and brings out some saltiness.

Boss Wang ate it and thought about it for a while, and finally sighed: "It's delicious, it's really delicious."

When Tao Jingwu saw that his sister was ignoring him, he could only go and talk to Boss Wang and the others.

"Hahaha, that's right. Everyone should remember this taste. If you taste something different in the future, you must point it out in time." Feng Jiandong naturally helped his nephew immediately.

The nine-turn large intestine served by Feng Zhengming today was really the first time Tao Mengran tasted it in his memory.

Boss Wang said: "Since Miss Tao tasted this when she was a child, then this must be the most authentic."

"The nine-turn large intestine here really tastes different. It's different from other local restaurants. This is the first time I've tasted such a taste."

Then Feng Zhengming put the fish meat mixed with egg whites and the fish meat mixed with egg yolks into a pot of water and fried them.

Part of it is mixed with egg white, and part is mixed with egg yolk, and Feng Zhengming also added some salted duck egg yolk to the egg yolk.

Boss Wang looked at Tao Mengran with a smile: "It seems that Miss Tao is also very good at eating."

Tao Jingwu thought about it carefully and whispered to his sister next to him: "This nine-turn large intestine really tastes different."

This dish came out of the pan, but even before it was served, the apprentices present were shocked.

Shen Rongsen said in disbelief: "So this dish really exists? I heard a chef talk about this dish before, saying that it can be made to look just like the real thing, and is even more delicious than real crabs."

Xia Hui looked at it carefully and asked, "Is this similar to the imitation bear paw we have?"

Chen Anbang said: "It's really beautiful."

Sun Hai suddenly said: "If there is another crab shell, no one will doubt that it is not a crab."

Yang Bin said: "You are even more fake than what Master taught you."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "I just made a little improvement, okay, okay, let's serve it."

This time Feng Zhengming did not go in person, but handed the dish to Xia Hui to serve.

When this game of crabs was served, the people present were in awe.

Boss Wang asked: "Is this crab meat? Is it possible to eat crab meat like this during this season?"

This statement made everyone feel incredible.

Because now is obviously not the season for eating crabs. Such a large plate of crab meat, with very beautiful crab roe on it, really makes everyone feel unbelievable. Is such a large plate of crab meat freshly made?
Seeing that everyone was guessing, Xia Hui said with a smile: "This is not a crab. This dish is called Sai Crab. It was made by my uncle using other things. Does it look very much like a crab? Please try it."

After listening to Xia Hui's words, everyone found it even more unbelievable.

A dish that looks like crab meat is actually not made of crab meat.

Tao Mengran stared at it for a while. She really couldn't tell that this plate was not crab meat. It could be fake and real.

When everyone scooped it up with a spoon, they put it into their mouths along with the crab meat and crab roe.

After chewing it carefully, I slowly realized that it was not crab meat.

"It's not really a crab, but it tastes a lot like crab meat, with the feeling of strands of crab meat."

"It's really similar. Said crabs are usually made with eggs, right?"

"There must be eggs in this, but it's definitely not just eggs. You can't make this kind of taste just using eggs."

Everyone began to guess, what is such a crab game made of?
It can be said that everyone present had various speculations, but they still felt that it didn't look like it.

The key is that this dish of Sai Crab has the texture of crab meat and a little bit of the fishy smell of crab meat. In this way, it is really difficult for everyone to guess.

Everyone can't understand that if you can simulate the taste of crab meat, how can you simulate that kind of umami taste?
Fortunately, everyone didn't have to wait long. When Feng Zhengming came in to serve the food in person again, he was naturally asked questions by everyone.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Feng Zhengming replied with a smile: "I made this crab dish with eggs, salted duck eggs and meat removed from large yellow croaker."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Boss Wang quickly understood.

"It turns out that it tastes very much like crab meat, or large yellow croaker meat."

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, remove the large yellow croaker meat, steam it with onion, ginger and cooking wine, and then mix it with eggs."

This point really makes everyone feel very good.

Boss Wang said: "Chef Feng is amazing. He actually thought of such a method. It's incredible."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the compliment. You should eat it while it is hot. It will taste fishy when it is cold. Please eat more vegetables."

Boss Wang said: "We are waiting for Chef Feng's next delicious dish."

Feng Zhengming naturally knew that Boss Wang probably wanted to try his fried conch slices in vinegar and pepper fish soup.

But I can't serve it yet, because there is a dish cooked by the third senior brother to be served next.

Everyone didn't wait long, Yang Bin came and served Fulu Duck to everyone.

When the Fu Lu Duck was served, Yang Bin said with a smile: "With this Fu Lu Duck, I wish everyone a happy year."

Boss Wang was naturally filled with joy when he saw such a dish on the table, especially since the meaning was still so good.

"Okay, okay, this dish is also good."

The last time Feng Zhengming made sweet and sour carp, he had figured out that Boss Wang is a person who prefers festive connotations, so the addition of Fulu Duck was naturally carefully designed by Feng Zhengming.

Sure enough, this Fulu Duck is also very popular with Boss Wang.

Although this dish was not made by Feng Zhengming, the beautiful shape still made everyone feel great.

After Yang Bin left, Tao Jingwu whispered to his sister: "It seems that Feng Zhengming's food stall is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. His senior brother is also very good. He is really good at making such a lucky duck."

Tao Mengran responded: "They must be powerful. After all, they are the same master, and they were both chefs at Yanxi Tower."

Tao Jingwu couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that the chef of Yanxi Tower would actually be working as a food stall on the street."

Tao Mengran looked at her brother and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think I've lost my position?"

Tao Jingwu shook his head: "Of course not. If you are at this level, you can certainly make money by working as a food stall. Moreover, by working as a food stall, they are simply bullying other food stalls."

Luo Qing, who was sitting next to Tao Mengran, heard Tao Jingwu say: "They are here only temporarily. When the shop is renovated, they will return to the shop. If they want to eat their food in the future, they can only go there." The Feng family has set up a restaurant."

Tao Jingwu looked at Luo Qing. He already knew that Luo Qing was Feng Zhengming's girlfriend.

At this time, he carefully compared his sister and Luo Qing.

What surprised Tao Jingwu was that Luo Qing did not lose to his sister.

Tao Mengran has the temperament of a quiet lady.

Luo Qing has a capable temperament.

Two young girls were sitting together at this time. They really had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Tao Jingwu wanted to favor his sister, saying in his heart that his sister was slightly better than Luo Qing.

But after carefully looking at the two girls, Tao Jingwu really couldn't give his sister the advantage against his will.

Tao Mengran saw her brother staring at her and Luo Qing. She didn't know what her brother was thinking about?
I just think it's not okay for my brother to stare at himself and Luo Qing like this.

Tao Mengran quickly reached out and gently patted his brother awake.

"What are you looking at? You stared at the two of us for a long time. Don't you know it's rude?"

Luo Qing said openly, "It doesn't matter."

Tao Jingwu still apologized: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about other things just now, so I just stared at you all at once. I'm really sorry."

Luo Qing still said generously: "It really doesn't matter."

Tao Mengran reached out and turned his brother's face away: "Don't look at us, go talk to others."

Turning his brother's face away, Tao Mengran looked at Luo Qing and said, "Don't give him a good face. I know my brother just likes to rub his nose into his face. If you give him a good face, he will definitely continue to pester you. "

Hearing Tao Mengran talk about her brother like this, Luo Qing also laughed, then picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to have a drink with Tao Mengran.

"Here's a toast to you. Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Luo Qing, Feng Zhengming's girlfriend."

Tao Mengran also picked up his wine glass: "Tao Mengran, a classmate of Feng Zhengming Driving School."

The two girls clinked glasses and drank. This scene was witnessed by everyone present.

Boss Wang smiled and said: "Are you two beauties drinking by themselves? You two are the two pearls on our table tonight. You are really beautiful. If you have a chance in the future, please come to our place together." Come on, let us people over there see how beautiful the northern beauties are."

Luo Qing and Tao Mengran looked at Boss Wang together after hearing this, and then the two girls saluted Boss Wang together.

When Boss Wang saw this, he could only smile happily and drink all the wine in the glass in front of him.

Feng Jiandong looked at this scene and had a bold idea in his mind.

Then when he turned his head, he happened to catch Tao Jingwu's eyes. The two made eye contact, and then they both laughed almost at the same time, as if they both understood the bold idea in the other's heart.
