Living in the Hong Kong Film World

Chapter 291 As expected of the emperor's tongue

When Feinan returned to the back kitchen of Manhanlou, he saw Xiaobai attacking the beef in front of him. Ou Zhaofeng sat aside, looked at him dotingly, and asked with concern, "Is it delicious?"

"Ok!"

Xiaobai nodded vigorously, and continued to reach for the chopsticks to pick up the meat with his eyes shining.

"What? Master Ou, do you want to hug your grandson?"

Feinan laughed and teased Ou Zhaofeng.

"Of course I do! I'm getting old."

Ou Zhaofeng pinched Xiaobairou's little face, and couldn't put it down: "My daughter is crazy all day long, and she is not obedient, and I don't know when I will be able to hold my grandson..."

"Ah Sheng has a way."

Feinan smiled and patted Zhao Gangsheng on the shoulder.

"I'm going to see if the door is locked."

Zhao Gangsheng was very smart, so he ran out in no time.

"Wow! You guy, are you introducing me to an apprentice or a son-in-law?"

Ou Zhaofeng held back a laugh and scolded.

Feinan pulled out the chair and sat down: "Ah Sheng is a nice guy, isn't he?"

"It's not bad, it's not bad, it's willing to endure hardships, and it's smart..."

Ou Zhaofeng shook his head and said, "But he made a group of dubious friends, I don't like it very much."

"Who hasn't been young and frivolous?"

Feinan persuaded him, "You are his master, and it is your responsibility to teach him well!"

"Ah, you guy, you really know how to eat and talk."

Ou Zhaofeng joked with a smile, and said to him: "You came back just in time, and my dishes are almost ready, please help me taste it."

Teng!
In front of the stove, the flames in Long Kunbao's pot were rising, and the ingredients were flying in the pot. After a quick oiling, he picked it up and put it aside, but he was making a stir-fry.

Ou Zhaofeng came to the stove and lifted the lid of a casserole that was simmering with a simmer, and the fresh fragrance overflowed immediately.

Xiaobai smelled it, immediately jumped off the table, quickly ran to the stove, pulled Ou Zhaofeng's clothes and drool over the casserole.

Ou Zhaofeng looked at him with a smile, took a chopstick, dipped it in the casserole, handed it to his mouth, let him lick it, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Ok!"

Xiaobai smacked his lips, ran back to Feinan excitedly, pointed to the casserole and said, "That's delicious!"

"You are the one who is greedy."

Feinan scratched his nose, picked him up, got up and came to the stove.

Glancing at the casserole, Feinan gasped, "Take apart the stewed fish head? Does Master Ou know how to cook Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes?"

"Man-Han banquet gathers the directors of each family, of course there will be more."

Ou Zhaofeng handed him a chopstick: "Can you try it?"

Feinan took the chopsticks, dipped them in the soup, put them in his mouth and took a sip.

"How's the glue?"

Ou Zhaofeng asked a question.

"good."

Feinan nodded and asked, "Have you put the fish maw?"

"I know I can't hide it from you."

Ou Zhaofeng laughed and said, "Under the fish head."

This stewed fish head dish is a Jiangsu-Zhejiang dish. The method is very complicated. It needs to boil the fish head for a while, then put it in the water, and pick out the fish bones bit by bit.It is not easy to keep not a single bone and keep the shape of the whole fish head unchanged.

"almost."

Ou Zhaofeng turned off the fire, picked up the casserole with tongs, and carefully poured the fish head in the pot into the soup plate.

"Wow!"

As the fish head was poured out, the fresh fragrance became stronger again, Xiao Bai stared at the soup plate, let out a sigh of admiration, and a stream of crystal saliva dripped from the side of his mouth.

Ou Zhaofeng made a plate for the fish head before pushing the soup plate in front of Feinan.

"Excellent condition."

Feinan just glanced at it and then sighed in admiration.

The difficulty in dismantling the stewed fish head lies in the fish eyes. The skin and flesh around the fish eyes are delicate, and if you don’t pay attention, it will be rotten. Once the fish eyes are rotten, the shape of the fish head will disappear, and the whole dish will fail.

As for Ou Zhaofeng's stewed fish head, the whole fish head is not damaged at all, and it is very beautiful, which is already very difficult.

Taking the soup spoon, Feinan picked up a piece of thin meat from his cheek, mixed it with the soup, and put it into his mouth.

Guck!

Xiaobai watched eagerly, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva first.

Feinan closed his eyes, only to feel the delicious fragrance in his mouth, the fish meat melted finely with the tip of his tongue, the fat was thick and extremely smooth.

"The fish skin is glutinous and sticky, the fish meat is tender and delicious, and the soup is thick, delicious!"

Feinan couldn't help but praised: "This fish maw has such a large amount of glue, and the color is slightly yellow, is it yellow fish maw? The yellow sturgeon glue is not so small."

"I really know how to eat."

Ou Zhaofeng gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I just bought it today, isn't the quality good?"

The so-called fish maw is fish maw, that is, fish maw, which belongs to the eight treasures of the sea. It is as famous as bird's nest and shark's fin, and is called seabed ginseng.

The fish maw is a treasure of large fish maw, the most high-grade yellow-lipped fish, which can be encountered but not sought after.

Fish maw is rich in collagen, which can be made into biological glue, which has a good bonding effect.

Carpenters in ancient times usually kept the method of boiling isinglass as a secret means of passing on from generation to generation.

Fish glue can be used to glue wood, and the effect is much better than animal glue such as pigskin glue.

And because it's rich in collagen, it's also a great secret weapon in the chef's hands.

Thickening can make rough food easier to swallow, and the juice made from starch is far less delicious and thick than the juice made from fish maw.

Feinan scooped up another spoonful, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

Xiaobai was a little anxious: "Godfather, I want to eat too!"

"Come on, grandpa feeds you."

Ou Zhaofeng scooped up a spoonful with a smile and brought it to Xiaobai's mouth.

"Wow! Master Ou, are you taking advantage of me?"

Feinan's eyes widened.

"I'm dozens of years older than you, can't he call me grandpa?"

Ou Zhaofeng pouted, and handed the spoon to Xiaobai's mouth.

Xiaobai wrapped the spoon in one gulp, and narrowed his eyes happily.

"he……"

Feinan looked at Xiaobai with a strange expression. If his age was really counted, he, his godson, might be Ou Zhaofeng's grandfather.

"how?"

Ou Zhaofeng looked over.

"It's nothing."

Feinan shook his head, brought the topic back, and said, "Master Ou, you didn't want me to praise you for letting me taste the dishes, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Ou Zhaofeng said seriously, "Of course, I just want you to find fault, but it's okay to say it!"

"Okay, then I'll just say it."

Feinan said seriously: "Meat has the fragrance of meat, and bones have the fragrance of bones. Whether it's chicken, duck or fish, the meat picked out is not as fragrant as the meat with the bones. There is no need to say more about that."

"This stewed fish head is about deboning and leaving the meat, but in this way, the fish head will lose a little bit of bone flavor. That's why you, Master Ou, use high broth to cook it, supplemented by Jinhua ham. You want to fill it with the bone flavor of the chicken, duck and pork bones in the broth, right?"

"The bone fragrance in the broth and the salty freshness of Jinhua ham can enhance the flavor of chickens, ducks, poultry, bamboo horses, cattle and sheep, or vegetables, but it will inevitably be a bit harsh when used on fish. Overwhelm the guests."

"This dish is called stewed fish head. The word "fish" is the key. No matter how delicious the taste is, what you eat is the rich aroma of pork bone broth, which is not right. Master Ou, you obviously know this, so you use it Fish maw, on the one hand, can increase the unique umami taste of seafood, on the other hand, it can also increase the thickness of the soup and enhance the mouthfeel, but it still lacks a hint of fish bone fragrance."

"I suggest that before stewing, Mr. Ou, you can use the method of baking or frying fish oil to force the fish bones out of the bone, and then put them into the soup and stew together until the pot is ready Then pick out the fish bones, so that the missing bone fragrance can be supplemented for this dish.”

Ou Zhaofeng was a little dazed when he heard that, and then he took a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of soup, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

His eyes widened in a flash, he turned to look at Fei Nan with complicated eyes, and said with sincere admiration, "Master Fei, you really deserve to be the emperor's tongue!"
