Chapter 287 The Most Perfect Dishes
Agou carefully drove the speedboat into the vicinity of Ap Lei Pai Beach, which extends into the sea from the south of Ap Lei Chau. He was relieved when he saw the dark coastline.

It is very dangerous to sail a boat in the dark without lighting and charts. Even if he went out to sea on a fishing boat with his father since he was a child, this trip made him break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, guided by the perennial lights of the power plant, he managed to reach his destination.

Teng Teng Teng!
The speedboat engine blew a few times and turned off.

Why is it out of gas now?

Agou groped for the oil barrel, and suddenly, a dazzling light hit the bow of the ship, making him unable to open his eyes.

"This is the Xianggang Marine Police..."

In the north of Hong Kong Island, Fei Nan, who was sitting in a taxi, looked at Agou surrounded by marine police on the map, and was a little surprised.

Feinan wrote down Ap Lei Chau just casually, but he didn't expect this kid to actually go there.

However, with his cursor, Feinan also noticed from a distance that the water police around Ap Lei Chau had been closely patrolling since before he paid attention.

Is it repairing submarine cables?Or looking into what happened that night in the bay?Or both?
Feinan was not sure, he only knew that he would not go near that water area until he found out the details of the two monsters.

Jingle Bell!
The phone rang, and after Fei Nan connected, Xu Xi's voice came from the other end.

"We have something to report to you."

Is there any clue to let them investigate?
"Wait for my call."

Feinan hung up the phone first, then called up the map and looked at it.

What he asked Xu Xi and Ruo Lan to investigate was related to "happiness". After fighting against the boss suspected of this plot line, he was very sensitive to the relevant information of this plot line, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

The map shows that both Xu Xi and Ruolan's cursors are in a remote factory in Tuen Mun, and there is no one else around.

Moreover, the cursor colors of the two of them are also normal, which means that they are not hostile, and the threat can be ruled out for the time being.

After dialing Xu Xi's number again, Fei Nan said briefly, "Come to Wanchai and find me."

"it is good."

Xu Xi also gave a brief answer without asking any further questions, and hung up the phone on her own initiative.

Rubbing Xiaobai's head, Feinan decided that, just in case, it's better to go to see Xu Xi alone later.

……

"Master, you should rest for a while! If you continue like this, your body will not be able to hold on."

In the back kitchen of Manhan Building, Zhao Gangsheng couldn't help but persuade him.

"Yes! Master Ou."

The helper at the side also persuaded: "Your body is important, it's still early, there's still time."

Ou Zhaofeng also understood in his heart that this was indeed the case, so he put down the kitchen knife, stepped aside, and said to the cook, "You do it."

The assistant cook is the second chef seconded from Lu Yulou, and his skills are not bad at all. Hearing this, he immediately stepped forward to pick up a kitchen knife and prepared to make dishes.

"Treat the geoduck first."

After Ou Zhaofeng said something, Zhao Gangsheng took the chair courteously, put it behind him, and helped him to sit down.

The help cook fished out the geoduck from the ice water, removed the shell and took the meat, and processed it.

"Master, drink water."

Zhao Gangsheng took the thermos and handed it to Ou Zhaofeng.

Ou Zhaofeng reached out to pick it up, but he couldn't grasp it firmly, and the thermos cup almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Gangsheng had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed it, and put the thermos back on the table: "Master, you should rest for a while before drinking."

Shaking his head, Ou Zhaofeng said regretfully: "It's not good to refuse to obey the old!"

"Master, you are just too tired, just take a rest."

Zhao Gangsheng had been in Manhan Tower for a few days, and he was convinced of Ou Zhaofeng's culinary skills. Under his care, Ou Zhaofeng, who had been at odds with his daughter all the year round, also rarely felt a bit of family happiness. Some regarded it as their own, and began to teach him a few tricks intentionally.

"Ah Sheng, do you know how to cook a perfect dish?"

He suddenly asked a question.

"The perfect dish?"

Zhao Gangsheng thought for a while: "With the top cooking skills, of course you can cook the most perfect dishes?"

"not that simple."

While staring at the kitchen helper, Ou Zhaofeng took the time to teach Zhao Gangsheng: "Let me give you an example. The dish I am cooking now is called boiled geoduck. Do you know what it means?"

"Just boil it in boiling water?" Zhao Gangsheng still knows some basic culinary terms.

"On the surface, it is like this, but in fact there is a lot of truth in it."

Ou Zhaofeng explained: "Boiling is one of the essence of Cantonese cuisine, which mainly highlights the freshness of ingredients. Our Cantonese cuisine pays attention to the taste of meat and vegetables, and strives to return the authentic taste of ingredients. Boiling is what we often use. a method."

"It looks really simple, just boil the ingredients with plain water, but how to choose the ingredients? With plain water or broth? How high is the temperature for the ingredients? How long do different ingredients need to be boiled? These are all particular, Without a few years of hard work and hard work, it is impossible to be handy."

After talking a few words, the fatigue of Ou Zhaofeng's arm muscles eased a little, and he reached for the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, spit the tea back into the cup, and continued: "Take this boiled geoduck as an example. In fact, it is very simple, just cut the geoduck into thin slices, put it in boiling water, and serve it with dipping water. But without ten years of hard work, it is absolutely impossible to make this dish.”

"The first is the geoduck. According to its size, the thickness of the slices will be adjusted accordingly. The most basic thing is uniform thickness. The thickness should not be cut too thick, otherwise it will be difficult to chew, and it should not be cut too much. Thin, so it won't be brittle."

"When passing through the water, the time must be precisely measured. From entering the water to serving it on the plate, and then serving it on the table, and being eaten by the guests, every second must be accurately calculated. , to reach the most perfect ripening state, it can be regarded as the best boiled geoduck."

After a pause, Ou Zhaofeng sighed and said: "So, to present a perfect dish, you need not only a good chef, but also a good team and a good diner."

"Perfect dishes require everyone's joint efforts and tacit understanding. The chef will not cook for a second, which will affect the taste of the ingredients. Chuan Caisheng will also ensure the speed of serving the dishes, so that the natural aging time of the dishes before serving Just right. The service staff will be responsible for taking good care of the diners, so that the diners feel comfortable and have a good appetite. And the diners will not be distracted by other things, and choose the timing of chopsticks according to the actual situation of the dishes to ensure that the ingredients reach the most perfect ripening state when they enter... ..."

"It's a natural state, everything is just right, and it naturally presents the most harmonious and perfect appearance of a dish, the unity of nature and man."

A trace of yearning flashed in Ou Zhaofeng's eyes: "I've only heard about it from my master, but I never knew what kind of feeling it was."

"My greatest wish in life is to cook a perfect dish."

Sighing, Ou Zhaofeng said sadly: "This competition may be the last chance in my life to make a perfect dish. I must not miss it."
