As the waiter approached, Su Zifang faintly smelled a familiar sweet and sour taste.

Looking at the tray in the waiter's hand, Su Zifang clearly saw a huge fish plate. Su Zifang and Zhao Xiaoman looked at each other and said with certainty: "Squirrel mandarin fish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter placed the plate on the table and opened the lid: "Squirrel mandarin fish, chef: Mei Yuanbai, from Mei Mansion Family Banquet."

"I'll go!" Su Zifang heard the introduction and almost couldn't hold his chopsticks steady.

Zhao Xiaoman and Xue Xinjian on the side also changed their expressions, showing shock.

Looking at the surrounding seats, everyone was filled with emotion. Only Mu Fei, who came from Dian City, asked unknowingly: "Brother Fang? What's wrong? Is this Mei Yuanbai famous?"

"It's more than just being famous!" Su Zifang opened the encyclopedia page and called up the Meifu family dinner, and handed the phone to Mu Fei.

"It's normal that you are not familiar with Huaiyang cuisine. The reason why Meifu's family banquet is called this is because Mei Lanfang designated this restaurant as Meifu's private kitchen. In the early years, it only operated in the imperial capital. In the past few years,

In order to promote Huaiyang cuisine culture, we opened a branch in Guanglin in 2008, but the chefs are all from the main store and are quite qualified."

"What about Mei Yuanbai? Why did they react so loudly?" Mu Fei was still confused.

"Let's put it this way, my master, your Grandpa Xue, is already a well-deserved top chef in Huaiyang cuisine, but when you see Mei Yuanbai, you have to call me senior brother, do you understand?"

Mu Fei:......

Su Zifang thought Mu Fei was stunned by Mei Yuanbai's identity, and asked proudly, "What? Do you feel like you have learned a lot?"

Mu Fei swallowed his saliva and shook his head, "No, then this dish is so delicious!"

After saying that, he stared straight at the mandarin fish that exploded into a flower.

After being reminded by Mu Fei, Su Zifang also reacted.

What on earth was he doing just now? Without tasting this top-notch food first, he actually took the time to popularize the Meifu Family Banquet and Mei Yuanbai to Mu Fei... How much love does it take to do such a thing?

Watching the heat rising from the fish's body, it gradually escaped and floated to his nostrils.

Su Zifang felt that all the pores in his body were relaxing.

Looking at the others, Zhao Xiaoman and Xue Xinjian had already finished the fish and started picking shrimps and green beans. While eating, they did not forget to communicate with each other: "This dish is really delicious! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, orange in color, sweet and sour in taste,

It feels like compared to what I ate before, I just made do with it.”

"My grandpa also made this dish. The shape of the fish is similar to that of fried fish, but the taste is not as good as Master Mei's. I think it's because of the sauce. It's not the usual tomato sourness, it seems to have..."

"Wumei!" Mu Fei replied after eating.

As a Diancheng native, he has a very good understanding of condiments, otherwise he wouldn't have smelled the fillings made by Su Zifang the first time he arrived.

"Yes, it's black plum." Xue Xinjian and Zhao Xiaoman confirmed after taking another bite.

"Why add ebony plums?" Su Zifang remembered that he had never learned any precedent about the need to add ebony plums to squirrel mandarin fish.

"It should be homemade. Many chefs often do not fix the seasoning ratio in order to season and present the effect of the dishes. It is summer now, and simple tomato sweet and sour sauce may be a bit monotonous, so I use ebony to arouse the appetite deep in the taste buds.

Accelerate saliva secretion."

"Have you ever watched "The Little Master of China"? Liu Pleiades once made fried rice and added dried plums with the same effect." Xue Xinjian's cooking class used knowledge points to popularize the uses of plums.

"No wonder!" Su Zifang nodded and continued to hold out his chopsticks. There was still a small portion of the squirrel mandarin fish, so he wanted to study the master's works.

"Well, this fish is fried so well!"

"Ah... the seasoning is good too!"

"Huh? No more?"

Although several girls at the table were very careful about their figures and put down their chopsticks after taking two bites, the whole mandarin fish couldn't stand up to Su Zifang and Mu Fei tasting it bite by bite.

After a few chopsticks, only the fish head and tail were left on the plate.

Looking at the last plate of red sauce on the plate, Su Zifang clicked his tongue: "If there is a bowl of rice, wouldn't it be delicious to eat with bibimbap?"

Just when I was thinking about whether it would be strange to add rice on such an occasion, I saw Mu Fei beside me raising his hand and saying: "Waiter, add a bowl of rice."

Su Zifang:......

Forget it, someone has already started, so it’s not too much for me to do so. I quickly raised my hand and made a gesture: "No, add two more bowls."

waiter:!!!

Xue Xinjian:……

Zhao Xiaoman:???

Fortunately, the waiters who could attend such an occasion today were all excellent waiters who had been trained and selected from ten. They were stunned for only a second, then put on a good and no problem expression and walked towards the kitchen. In less than a minute, two dishes were delivered.

Bowl of white rice.

Su Zifang thanked Mu Fei, then brought the plates in front of him, each spooning out the sauce and pouring it on the rice.

Mu Fei excitedly picked up the bowl and mixed the sauce thoroughly. Halfway through, he turned his head and found that Su Zifang only ate the top layer and stopped.

"Brother Fang, why don't you eat?"

"etc……"

"What are you waiting for?" Mu Fei said a little vaguely while holding the rice in his mouth.

"Wait and see if there are more delicious dishes." Su Zifang chuckled. "Otherwise, if you wait until the food is served, wouldn't it be a loss if you are full and can't taste the food?"

Mu Fei looked at the clean bottom of his bowl and suddenly felt that the rice he had just finished didn't smell good!

Before he could finish worrying, the waiter who had just served the rice appeared again: "White-robed shrimps, chef: Huang Sheng, from Jingling Hotel."

When it was brought to the table, the presentation was very simple. There was a plate of shrimps on a blue and white porcelain plate, about thirty of them, as white as snowballs. There were no side dishes except for the first time.

"I know this dish, Huai Fried Shuangfeng, which is the same as Longjing Shrimp. My grandfather said that it was the first dish at the state banquet that year." Mu Fei shook his head and showed that he was happy to praise me.

"Uh, you remembered it wrong." Su Zifang struck mercilessly.

"This dish is the first dish at the state banquet, but it is different from Longjing shrimp." Zhao Xiaoman shook his head.

"You just ate the Huai stir-fried Shuangfeng, which was soft pocket eel and this white-robed shrimp." Xue Xinjian blinked.

Mu Fei:......

“I’m in Guanglin, I just had a big meal, I’m asking for help online, and I’m pretending to be in a field that others are better at than me, what should I do?”

"Actually, it's not entirely wrong." Xue Xinjian helped to save the situation.

"White Pao Shrimp and Longjing Shrimp, one is mainly original and the other is seasonal, which is indeed the pinnacle of shrimp dishes in Huaiyang cuisine. Part of the cooking process is similar, and it is easy for people who are not familiar with it to confuse them."

"The white-robed shrimps are made from Hongze Lake large green shrimps. This plate may be the best wild species, so hurry up and try it." Xue Xinjian explained a few words briefly and asked everyone to start eating.

As a senior Longjing shrimp cuisine chef, Su Zifang is naturally more interested in comparing his shrimp dishes with those of his colleagues.

However, as soon as he entered the mouth, he knew that he was very wrong.

If the self-made Longjing shrimps are only 6 points in crispiness, the plate of white-robed shrimps on the table is almost as crispy in the mouth as live shrimps.
