Chapter 820: Xia Yu's Cottage (Part 1)
"Songjiang perch!"
Hearing Xia Yu's whisper, the energetic old lady Tang nodded with satisfaction to him, "You have not forgotten your roots at all, and you also recognize these ingredients that have been praised by sages in ancient times."
"Songjiang perch, produced only under Xiuye Bridge outside the Ximen Gate of Songjiang County, Shanghai, is a specialty of Songjiang County, Shanghai. It has been famous all over the country since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Its meat is fat and tender, fresh without fishyness, without fine burrs, and has a delicious taste. It is the most delicious one among wild freshwater fish. It is naturally praised as the four famous freshwater fish in China."
The old woman held the crutch and stood firmly in front of the No. 1 kitchen counter, talking to Xia Yu, and also looking at the camera and talking to everyone watching the audition.
Suddenly, her tone changed, and the change in her tone was shocking.
"I often hear Arqiong mention you recently. She said that you are amazing, so powerful that she can look up to you, but can't catch up..." Speaking of this, a trace of elusive strange color flashed through Old Mrs. Tang's eyes, "The title of this round of auditions was announced three days ago - Fish!"
“Fish cuisine!”
“Isn’t it very ordinary?”
The old woman was smiling, but the talented people on the stage were secretly sweating.
The other freshwater fish are fine, but it is Songjiang perch!
It is precisely because of its great reputation that the recipes of this freshwater fish have been developed by chefs from all walks of life. They are steamed, fried, fried, and cooked. Anyway, the cooking skills of ancient and modern times have shown their magical powers in the ingredients of "Songjiang Sea Bass". You should know that "innovation" is also a review and tasting point. It is quite difficult for the young and young girls on the stage to get points in this regard, but if they cannot get high scores, how can they compete for the top 10 on the list?
Today's three auditions are still in the 300-point ranking system, with only the top ten in each game, and there are 30 advancers in total.
"Ordinary?" Xia Yu also shook his head, "The more famous the ingredients are, the more pressure the chef will have on his shoulders. After all, as you said, Songjiang perch, which has been praised by sages in ancient times, has endured too much praise. If it does not highlight its praiseworthy side, it means failure."
Old Mrs. Tang's cautious answer to Xia Yu was quite surprised. Obviously, she did not expect that the boy with the nickname "Demon King" had no match for his words and deeds, and he was not arrogant at all.
"Cook more sea bass food, just treat it as a special care for me, the old lady."
The crutch hit the floor clearly, and Old Mrs. Tang said with a smile.
Xia Yu met her clear eyes that were all full of stories, and muttered in her heart, is this old lady the old monster hidden in the depths of the Tang family?
Before turning around with the crutch, Old Mrs. Tang paused, "By the way, I have a bad appetite recently. If it is a too mediocre dish, I may not have appetite."
Very obscure warning.
"Hey, is this considered ordering?" Xia Yu called out to Old Lady Tang in the camera, with a smile on her face.
“Order food?”
Old Mrs. Tang was stunned for a moment and heard what Xia Yu said. She was not a judge, but just a guest watching the game. According to the rules, she was not qualified to be taken care of by talented men on the stage.
"That's right, if your dishes are recognized by me, I won't eat a tycoon meal either."
The crutches hit the floor, and the sound of the crutches left.
Xia Yu looked up and raised his hand to the celebrating celebrating on the stage. "There is an extra mouth, and the ingredients may not be enough. Can you provide more ingredients?"
The emcee came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "No problem! No problem at all!"
So, in the next ten minutes, aquatic trucks took the stage and left the stage, and all the hundreds of kitchen counters were assigned enough live fish ingredients.
It is worth mentioning that there are two clean water basins at the No. 1 kitchen counter where Xia Yu is located, each with 3 fresh "Songjiang perch" swimming.
In these ten minutes, Xia Yu also thought of a recipe.
sea bass?
In fact, the simplest and most convenient thing about sea bass cuisine is fish sashimi, that is, sashimi and sashimi.
But, considering that I didn't bring my kitchen utensils, including carving knives, ice spoil knives, etc., the quality of fish sashimi is probably different from his cooking skills, and it is easy to be disliked by Mrs. Tang and Wei Qinglian.
Therefore, not only for Xia Yu, but also for all the talents on the stage, "fish sashimi" is the most difficult form of cooking.
"In the eight major cuisines, such as Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Hunan cuisine, there are steamed sea bass and braised sea bass."
Xia Yu can easily read the recipes of sea bass in various cuisines, and just searching them in his head will make the ocean of words.
Was it!
The sound of hot oil from the pot began to be heard on the stage, and there was movement on other kitchen counters.
A busy boy of the same age not far away looked at him and saw the onion, sesame oil bottle, and peppercorn granules on the stage. Xia Yu nodded secretly, "Hey, if you start from the Sichuan cuisine perspective, a fish dish is divided into taste, spicy, sour, peppercorn, etc., such as soaking sea bass in a sea bass, the method is to slaughter the sea bass, cut the fish into small slices, steam it on high heat and then stir-fry it with chopped green onions, then soak it in soup and peppercorn oil, and add seasonings. A large pot of delicious fish soup is completed..."
At this time, the staff came to the No. 1 kitchen counter and delivered a basket of ingredients.
"Chef Xia, this is the ingredients you ordered."
"Thanks!"
He picked up the basket casually and placed it on the table in front of him. Xia Yu didn't care about the camera being pulled closer.
Since basic seasonings such as salt, soy sauce, cooking wine and other ingredients are all available on the kitchen counter, players do not need to ask for the event logistics, so Xia Yu's food baskets are missing many bottles and jars.
Apart from a few pieces of ginger and two pieces of green onion, Xia Yu kept taking out bags of herbs from the basket.
The medicinal materials were all wrapped in yellow paper. As a camera, Xia Yu opened a pack at will, and it turned out to be a few small dried particles, grayish-white.
He lowered his head and smelled the faint astringent smell, Xia Yu's eyes shining, "This white cardamom is of very good quality!"
"Huh, cardamom?"
The camera gave him a close-up of the medicinal materials pack in his hand. There were discussions in every corner of the Longmen Pavilion, and a large number of viewers recognized this ingredient. It was said that it was an ingredient, but it was actually a Chinese medicinal material and a spice.
The private room elegant seat, Li Han and Tang Yuqiong, looked down at the stage on the ground. Seeing Xia Yu taking out at least seven or eight packs of medicinal materials from the basket, he couldn't help but wonder.
Medicinal food?
Suddenly, the venue caused quite a lot of riots due to Xia Yu's next move.
I opened the second yellow paper bag. This paper bag was very big, containing more than 20 black bean-shaped ingredients. Tang Yuqiong held her hands on the windowsill, and half of her body stuck out, staring at her eyes and losing her voice, "Fermented black beans?"
"oh--"
The venue is full of discussion, so people are naturally concerned about the boy with the nickname "Devil King". "Does he plan to make fermented black bean sea bass?"
In another private room in Longmen Pavilion, Fan Jiaorou, Yuan Lanzhi and Mu Xiaoyue were there.
Fan Jiaorou, who had just been turned away from Xia Yu a few days ago, opened her mouth so wide, "Fermented black beans?"
"Is this a coincidence?"
