Chapter 72 Pseudo-S-Class Cuisine
In order for Xue Xinjian to taste an impeccable Longjing shrimp, Su Zifang spent a whole night thinking about ways to improve it. He could almost memorize the evaluation of the last Longjing shrimp in the recipe column, but still couldn't I can think of it.
"Forget it, just do what you can control, and let nature take care of the rest." Su Zifang gave up struggling.
When the Longjing shrimps were delivered, Xue Xinjian sent a WeChat message saying that he was still on the way.
However, Su Zifang found out about the news through Shen Anyan.
"Anyan, why did Miss Xue tell you but not me?"
"Maybe we have a better relationship?" Shen Anyan asked back, "Have you figured out what to do?"
"Not yet." Su Zifang shook his head.
When Xue Xinjian arrived at the store, the Longjing shrimps that had been delivered in advance were already being raised in the basin, swimming happily with their long beards swaying.
"I asked someone to fish this out. I didn't expect it to be quite lively in this water. How about it?" Xue Xinjian asked.
"It's the first time I've seen it. It looks pretty good." Su Zifang looked at the shrimps in the basin carefully. They were larger than ordinary river shrimps, with dark green tints all over their bodies, and their tails were very flexible as they swayed.
"Boss Su, this store is quite unique." Xue Xinjian looked around the kitchen and then returned to the lobby.
"This is my grandfather's old shop. He was also a chef. These may have been retained by him at that time." After Su Zifang said this, he felt a little sad.
Recently, he has been able to understand more and more why his grandfather was reluctant to leave the shop.
The joy of researching new dishes, getting compliments from diners, and tasting the food you made by yourself seems to be a real sense of accomplishment.
"Your grandfather?"
"There is no family history. I don't know what my grandfather did before. I only know that he was a chef back then. In my father's generation, he had already changed his career to selling dry goods. He only picked it up when he came to me. I still went to the Old South to learn cooking skills. of."
Although he wanted to admit this shamelessly, Su Zifang chose to tell the truth because of his conscience.
"The standard of Huaiyang cuisine in Old Nanfang is so high now?" Is this an exaggeration?"
"You are overthinking. Not everyone has the strength like me." This time Su Zifang was not polite. With the help of the system, he still dared to say such words confidently.
Anyway, Zhao Xiaoman is not around, but his talent in cooking is obvious to all!
"Okay, Su Shuai, hurry up and make Longjing shrimps. If it's ready, Xinjian will help you make an appointment with Grandpa Xue." Shen Anyan, who knew the inside story, did not expose what he said, but kindly reminded him.
"alright, please wait."
Su Zi put it back in the kitchen and changed into the [Original Intention] achievement, hoping that a story of explosive character would happen.
Even though Longjing shrimp and Taihu shrimp are different, the cooking method is the same.
Su Zifang put his hand into the water and grabbed a Longjing shrimp. He felt the rhythmic movement in his palm, as if he was holding a piece of living jade.
Slowly recalling the mentality and feeling of the last time I made A-grade Longjing shrimp.
Remove the heads, peel off the shrimp shells, and use a toothpick to pick out the shrimp threads.
No freezing, still processed perfectly.
Place the shrimps on the ice plate prepared aside, one, then two, and gradually increase the number until the whole plate is filled.
After peeling the shrimps, Su Zifang suddenly had the illusion that he could make S-level Longjing shrimps.
Calm down your mind, follow the previous steps to prepare the gravy, pickle the shrimps, and make tea.
Put it in the pot, stir-fry, thicken the sauce, and pour the tea.
A plate of Longjing shrimps is served.
Su Zifang's heart also rose, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
It wasn't until he took a bite of shrimp that his hanging heart finally dropped.
[A plate of nearly perfect Longjing shrimps, level S (original intention).]
A system prompt pops up.
Su Zifang silently told himself: "Succeeded."
When he was holding the plate, his joy was already full on his face, and even escaped, and even his steps became much brisker.
"It seems that he is very satisfied." Shen Anyan saw Su Zifang walking and turned her head to communicate with Xue Xinjian.
"How do you know?" Xue Xinjian asked.
"Look at him, he looks exactly like those monkeys in the animal world who show off after grabbing food. They even swing their arms when walking."
Shen Anyan was driving too fast, and she stepped on the car several times before she stopped.
"Uh...it's a bit similar." Xue Xinjian seemed to have really recalled the animal world.
"Spring is here, and it's the mating season of all things." Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang's friendly voice formed a familiar picture in his mind. Then it turned into a monkey swinging indescribably and strutting in the fields, leaving a huge footprint with every step he took.
Shaking his head to drive out unrealistic thoughts, Xue Xinjian began to face the Longjing shrimp in front of him.
It is different from ordinary Longjing shrimps.
The shrimp body of the Longjing shrimp that Su Zi put on the plate is not pure white. Even if it is wrapped in gravy, the original green color of the shrimp body can be seen. Moreover, the fresh aroma and tea aroma are mixed more evenly, and there is less added flavor.
"It seems more and more like the Longjing shrimps made by grandpa." Xue Xinjian sighed in his heart and cast an approving look at Su Zi.
After tasting it, Xue Xinjian was suddenly at a loss for words.
You must know that she is also a food critic, and she was so surprised by the taste of shrimp that she was speechless.
First, there is a thin layer of gravy, which is obviously wrapped around the shrimps, but it is only sweet and fresh in the mouth. The taste of Longjing then penetrates, causing a second storm between the lips and teeth.
"It's Tea Mountain!" Xue Xinjian closed his eyes and felt the delicious impact on his taste buds.
"There is a tea mountain covered with tea trees, and there are streams surrounding the mountain. The streams are full of tea shrimps like this. I also saw shrimps jumping out of the water, and then falling into the trickle with the tea leaves, and the tea leaves followed them. The water flow slowly dispersed, but the shrimps were quietly waiting for the fragrance of tea to infect the bottom of the water." Shen Anyan recounted all the scenes she "saw".
"What's going on?" Chen Aoyi, who was passing by, saw both of them closing their eyes with a look of satisfaction on their faces, so she stepped forward and asked.
"Maybe the Longjing shrimp I made was so delicious that it brought back their memories."
Su Zifang looked dumbfounded, and there was nothing he could do to stop others from recalling the past.
"Is it really so delicious?" Chen Aoyi also stepped forward to take a piece.
"It's delicious." Chen Fanyi nodded, "It's the most delicious meal you've ever had.
"That's good."
While they were talking, Shen Anyan and Xue Xinjian had already come out of their previous moods, and looked at Su Zifang differently.
If it was just a compliment before, it has now turned into admiration.
"If you go by the standard of this dish, I think you have reached the level of a senior chef. I will tell my grandfather, but whether you can get a meeting in the end depends on him." Xue Xinjian praised.
"As long as I have a chance, I won't force it. Thank you!"
