Chapter 292 Fried Water Snake Slices
"I wish I could have met you sooner."

Ou Zhaofeng said regretfully: "If I had met you earlier, my culinary skills would definitely be better than now. I can be a state banquet chef!"

"Wow! You can say this kind of thing? You don't have to be ashamed!"

Long Kunbao smiled and walked over with a plate of dishes.

"Eh? That's true!"

Ou Zhaofeng hurriedly said: "It's easy to find a good master, but it's hard to find a good diner! It's a chef's blessing to have a diner who really knows how to eat. It's rare to meet him. If you knew him when you were young, I dare say you will be famous at least Can it be five years earlier, believe it or not?"

"I still believe that."

Long Kunbao didn't deny it: "But it's not too late for me to know Anan now?"

"Ah? Are you bullying my old man?" Ou Zhaofeng feigned anger.

"How dare I?"

Long Kunbao put down the dish and said with a smile, "Try my dish of fried water snake slices!"

"Is there a snake to eat? Make up!"

Ou Zhaofeng took the chopsticks, picked up a piece, but put it into Xiaobai's mouth first.

Seeing that Xiaobai was eating deliciously, he smiled and picked up another slice, and fed it: "Is it delicious? Another slice."

"Master Ou, those who don't know think this is your grandson!"

Long Kunbao liked to make jokes about Ou Zhaofeng.

"That's not good?"

Ou Zhaofeng lowered his head to tease Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, will you be my grandson?"

Xiaobai looked at him with his mouth open, then suddenly turned around and hid in Feinan's arms, hugging his neck tightly and refusing to let go.

"Eh? This brat is really smart!"

Ou Zhaofeng laughed and cursed.

"Of course, follow me."

Feinan made a joke, picked up a slice of water snake with his chopsticks, looked at it, and asked, "This snake is fat enough! It's thick."

Long Kunbao nodded with a smile: "When the autumn wind blows, the three snakes are fat. It is the season, and this dish is the most suitable for eating. There are no such fat snakes in other seasons."

Snake meat is a relatively common ingredient in Guangdong, especially the Shunde cuisine inherited from Long Kunbao. There are various ways to eat snake meat. This fried water snake slice is a famous dish in Shunde.

This dish has the most obvious feature of Shunde cuisine, which is the exquisite knife skills.

The so-called water snake slice is to remove the bone and shave the meat of the water snake, and cut it into slices. Naturally, its difficulty is not as exaggerated as the pheasant roll, but it is not easy.

The water snake slices are patterned by Long Kunbao, and the depth of the pattern is just over half, which makes the snake slices more flavorful without damaging the meat texture in the snake slices, and still maintains elasticity.

Long Kunbao made a simple arrangement, and the snake slices showed a coiled and curved shape according to the original shape. With the green vegetables on both sides, it looked like a little white dragon burrowing around among the blue clouds, very beautiful.

Feinan praised: "This dish is so beautiful, it should have a nice name."

"No matter how nice the name is, it's just a local dish of Taoism. It's better to call it simpler and more down-to-earth."

Hearing what Long Kunbao said, Feinan couldn't help asking curiously, "Why is there no dish made with snakes in the Manchu Banquet?"

Ou Zhaofeng explained: "It's very simple. It is impossible for dishes with a risk of poisoning to appear in the palace."

"So it is."

Feinan suddenly realized: "It seems that the emperor is still not as lucky as I am! Haha!"

Put the snake slice into his mouth and chew it carefully, Feinan tasted the taste.

Snake meat is a bit like chicken, but it is more tender than chicken, and has a unique sweetness, which has a special flavor.

Ou Zhaofeng teased Xiaobai with the snake slice, wanting to feed him another bite.

But maybe Xiaobai was upset by his words just now, so Xiaobai deliberately turned his head away from him, buried his head under Feinan's chin, and kept his mouth shut, refusing to open his mouth.

"The snake meat is white in color, and the vegetables are green and emerald. The appearance is very good. After the entrance, the sweetness and smoothness of the snake meat and the fragrance of the vegetables are blended together, and they complement each other."

Feinan praised him.

Long Kunbao said with a smile: "You can directly talk about the problem!"

"Haha! Then I'll just say it straight!"

Feinan put down his chopsticks: "Actually, it's still a matter of heat. After you marinated the snake meat, the water was not drained. When you pulled the oil, it came out of the pan a few seconds earlier, which made the snake slices a little soft and not crispy enough. There is a little more sesame oil. The pepper is a little less, and the salt taste is a little bit worse..."

"Okay, okay! Stop talking."

Long Kunbao stopped him helplessly: "I don't even have the confidence to cook anymore after you talk about it."

"To be picky, it's purely to be picky." Feinan said politely.

Long Kunbao smiled and said to Ou Zhaofeng who was persistent in teasing Xiaobai: "Master Ou, it should be ten years."

"what?"

Ou Zhaofeng was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about. He waved his hand and said, "Never mind you for a few years, hey! Anan, he refuses to eat! Is he choking?"

Feinan looked down and saw that Xiaobai was turning his head from side to side, avoiding the chopsticks that Ou Zhaofeng fed to his mouth, feeding one old and one young, and hiding the other, persevering.

Reluctantly patted Xiaobai's head, Feinan comforted him and said, "Okay, okay! He was joking with you! Don't be angry."

Seeing this, Ou Zhaofeng hurriedly handed the snake piece to Xiaobai's mouth again expectantly.

Xiao Bai looked up at Fei Nan, and then reluctantly opened his mouth.

With his mouth wide open, Ou Zhaofeng fed the snake slices into Xiaobai's mouth, watched him eat it, and then breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had accomplished a great event, he felt a sense of pride, and even His face glowed a little.

Looking enviously at Feinan who was holding Xiaobai, Ou Zhaofeng choked out: "I really want to hug my grandson!"

Fei Nan pointed at Zhao Gangsheng, who leaned over to pick up snake slices with his chopsticks: "Go find him!"

Ou Zhaofeng looked at Zhao Gangsheng thoughtfully.

He looked a little hairy, and the snake piece that Zhao Gangsheng picked up fell on the table with a clatter.

Snapped!
Ou Zhaofeng patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, are you willing to pick on my daughter?"

"what?"

Zhao Gangsheng was dumbfounded.

"If you are willing to marry my daughter, I will not only teach you all the cooking skills I have learned all my life, but when I am old, this restaurant will also belong to you."

Ou Zhaofeng obviously spent all his money.

"Don't want it? Master?"

Zhao Gangsheng said with a bitter face, "I have a sweetheart."

Feinan fanned the flames from the side: "Your sweetheart has been in Canada for more than a year, and she might have married a long time ago. It's better for young people to keep their feet on the ground!"

"Wow! Brother Nan, are you hurting me?"

Zhao Gang was furious.

"Ok?"

Ou Zhaofeng's eyes widened: "Did you feel wronged by soaking in my daughter?"

"Master, that's not what I meant."

Zhao Gangsheng looked at Long Kunbao for help, and the latter pretended not to see it, and raised his hand: "Oh! My panlong eel is almost ready."

With that said, he walked towards the steamer.

"Ha ha!"

Feinan laughed: "Don't be afraid, Master Ou was just joking with you."

Ou Zhaofeng curled his lips: "I dare say you really believe it? With your virtue, if you want to rape my daughter, I still don't agree!"

"Yes yes yes!"

Zhao Gangsheng heaved a sigh of relief, found an excuse and slipped out of the kitchen again.

They tasted and ate one after another, and it was almost eleven o'clock after a meal.

Ou Zhaofeng sent Feinan out of the restaurant and helped him hail a taxi.

"It's okay, just take it easy, you can definitely win."

Feinan comforted him before getting into the car.

"hope so!"

Ou Zhaofeng sighed, smiled and waved to Xiaobai: "Goodbye! Xiaobai, if you want to eat delicious food in the future, come to Grandpa Ou's place!"

Xiao Bai hiccupped and shook his hand perfunctorily, which made his face bloom.

As the taxi drove to Central, Feinan was rubbing Xiaobai's chubby belly while thinking about the conversation he had just had with Ou Zhaofeng.

During the chat just now, Ou Zhaofeng's words revealed anxiety inside and out, as if he had no confidence in this competition.

Although his winning or losing had no effect on Feinan's completion of the task, Feinan still hoped that he could win.

Or let Ah Ren go to the mainland, go to Guangzhou and find that Liao Jie, if you want to taste the complete Manchu Banquet, maybe you need the cooperation of that guy!
