After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 96: The banquet is in progress

After the people who watched the ceremony came back one after another, Wang Ting and He Chen were extremely happy.

When a table is full, it means we can have dinner.

On the other side, Jiang Li was still making the last dish, steamed sea bass.

More than a dozen sea bass need to be prepared for more than a dozen tables, and Jiang Li is very skilled in handling sea bass.

After slaughtering, remove the scales, gills, and internal organs, and rinse with clean water.

After all the fish were washed, Jiang Li made cuts on both sides of each fish to make it easier to season.

Then apply cooking wine all over the body of each fish, inside and out, and then apply salt again to remove the fishy smell.

Then Jiang Li prepared the scallion whites, cut them into thin strips, put them into a bowl, added clean water, and made them bend and curl.

At the same time, Li Jie was also standing by, cutting ginger slices for later use.

Li Jie placed sliced ​​ginger on the fish and stuffed a few slices of ginger and broken green onions into the fish belly to remove the fishy smell.

Then place the sea bass in the steaming tray and prepare to steam.

Add boiling water to the steamer, put in the steaming tray after the water boils, and steam over high heat for 6 to 10 minutes.

The steamer is big enough to steam more than a dozen fish together.

During the steaming process, Jiang Li and Li Jie were also busy.

Take out the steamed rice and let it cool down a little.

After putting the rice into more than a dozen large bowls, Jiang Li and Li Jie simply cleaned up the table.

Soon, after the sea bass was steamed, Li Jie took the sea bass out of the steamer, removed the scallion and ginger, and poured out the steaming soup.

Then she sprinkled shredded green onion and ginger evenly on the fish, and drizzled it with steamed fish soy sauce.

Jiang Li heats oil in another pot, and when the oil is hot, pours it over the shredded green onion and ginger to bring out the aroma.

At this point, the final steamed sea bass is ready.

After it was done, the relatives sent by the He family to help quickly brought out the sea bass and the rice.

The people sitting in the front had already started eating. When they smelled the aroma of sea bass in the air, they were extremely excited.

"Do you have any iced beer? This weather is perfect for drinking something cold."

He Quan's fourth uncle said that such a sumptuous meal should be paired with some wine.

"Yes, there is, but..."

But He Quan's family's refrigerator had long been scrapped, so yesterday he ordered more than 20 boxes of ice beer from the grocery store.

"Brother Chen, why don't you go to the store and get some cold beer and drive over."

"Ah? You go ahead and I'll give you the key."

He Chen looked at the table full of delicious food, his butt sitting on the stool as if it was stuck with 502 glue.

How could he bear to move? If he left, the delicious food would be eaten up.
"It's okay. I drove here too. You can just drive my car."

He Quan didn't say much and stuffed the key into He Chen's hand. At this moment, his eyes fell on the dishes on the table and his eyes widened.

My God, this dish is so delicious. Although he had eaten many dishes cooked by Jiang Li before, he didn't expect that Jiang Li's dish could be so delicious.

He Chen, who had the key stuffed into his pocket, shook his head helplessly, grabbed the key and ran out.

Miscalculation!

He originally thought that they all wanted to drink white wine, so he forgot to bring the ice beer. When He Chen brought the beer over, as soon as he entered the house, he saw that the people in his main hall were already eating enthusiastically.

"He Chen, please sit down and eat."

He Quan's mother stood up and moved to the side while eating, making room for her on the long bench.

"Hey, you know what, this spicy lotus root slice is really delicious. It would be perfect to eat with wine."

"Yes, it tastes absolutely amazing. I don't know how they made such a delicious dish."

"Chef Xiao Jiang may not look very old, but he is very skilled. Just look at his knife skills. How come he can cut the meat so thinly, almost like paper? No wonder it is so tasty."

The relatives of the He family at the dinner table had been busy all day and were very tired when they came back, but the temptation of delicious food swept away all their previous fatigue.

Each man at the table took a bottle of cold beer from He Chen, and started drinking it with the side dishes.

He Quan even drank it down in big gulps. After finishing a sip, he picked up a large chopstick of food and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he praised Jiang Li's cooking skills.

"Grandma, I want to eat some of that dried fruit, can you give me a piece?"

He Dabao brought a bowl of rice to Aunt He Quan and asked his grandmother to help him pick up some dishes.

Because there was not enough space, the two children left the table and a small stool was moved for them to eat at the side.

The eldest aunt picked up some food with her chopsticks for her eldest grandson and thought the dish was very good.

Cold-mixed dried tofu is mainly made of dried tofu and some seasonings. It tastes fresh and refreshing, and is especially suitable for cooling off and stimulating the appetite in summer.

Dried tofu itself has a unique bean flavor, and after being processed into a cold dish, its delicious taste is more prominent.

As an appetizer, it is perfect.

Their family often cooks this dish, but Dabao never eats it.

The aunt thought about it carefully and thought that it might be because the food cooked by Chef Jiang was really delicious.

Putting aside other things, let’s just talk about the taste. This dried tofu itself has a unique toughness and chewiness. It tastes very elastic and not too soft.

My aunt could tell after just one bite that this was freshly made by hand and tasted much better than those sold outside.

But it is true. Jiang Li made the dried tofu several days in advance and kept it in the space until he took it out the day before.

After being served cold, the dried tofu retains this wonderful taste, and you can feel its unique chewiness and elasticity in every bite.

Let’s talk about its taste. The cold-mixed dried tofu is fragrant and delicious, with a hint of coolness, which is very suitable for consumption.

Dried tofu itself has a light bean flavor, and is paired with various seasonings, such as soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, chili oil, etc.

The flavor is rich and layered, with the bean fragrance of dried tofu and the freshness and spiciness of the seasonings, which is really unforgettable.

The eldest child can eat spicy food, but the second child can’t and keeps clamoring for fish.

The aunt picked a piece of boneless fish for Erbao and put it in his bowl, then picked up a piece for herself.

The meat of this sea bass is very tender and almost melts in your mouth.

When my aunt gently took a bite of the fish, she could feel the delicate meat slowly melting on the tip of her tongue, bringing an indescribable wonderful feeling.

He Erbao also likes to eat steamed sea bass, which has a light fragrance in its taste. It is a perfect combination of the deliciousness of the fish itself and the steaming cooking method.

Jiang Li did not add too many seasonings, but was able to highlight the original flavor of the sea bass, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

Moreover, the steamed sea bass has a subtle elasticity to its texture, which is due to the fact that the fish meat retains its original fiber structure during the steaming process.

This elasticity makes the fish meat chewier in the mouth and more delicious.
