Chapter 170 The priceless bluefin tuna
The food in any region of the world has its own unique features. Ye Chui Shangxuan is the world-recognized god of food for his lifetime. Although he specializes in Chinese cuisine, he still doesn't say that Chinese cuisine is the best in the world: whether the dishes are delicious or not, does not care about the cuisine, but about the chef. This is something that Ye Chui has always respected. ◇↓
Because of this reason, Ye Chui never minded asking famous chefs in other cuisines for advice. Ye Chui had had many communication with the other party with the Japanese "Sushi God".
In Ye Chui's previous life, the most authoritative way to evaluate the quality of a chef is Michelin's star rating.
The Michelin star rating is divided into three stars, the highest of which is three stars. If it is a Michelin judge, it means the dishes made by this chef, which is worth taking a long flight to taste.
Such an evaluation is the highest honor for a chef in his previous life. Ye Chui, in his previous life, had won the title of Samsung Michelin. He was awarded this title at the age of 27 and was recognized by the Guinness Record at the time as the youngest chef to win the title of Samsung Michelin.
At the same time, there is also the oldest chef in the Guinness Record to win the title of Samsung Michelin, and that chef is the Japanese sushi god.
The name of the Japanese sushi god is Jiro Ono.
Ye Chui once visited Japan and saw the ultimate way to cook sushi in his hands.
After inviting Iijima Yan Hao to visit Hainan chicken rice in the evening, Zhang Huabin left angrily with the lunch box. Dong Youyou looked at Zhang Huabin and felt relieved naturally, but at the same time, she looked at Ye Chui with some concern: "Ye Chui, are you okay? Can you make sushi?"
"Yes, Master, you can make sushi?" Han Yuyan also looked at Ye Chui with a worried look on his face.
Ye Chu shrugged his shoulders: "What's the difficulty? Isn't it just rice balls and raw fish. Then a little vinegar? Who can't make such a simple dish?"
"Young man, sushi is not that simple." The middle-aged man who spoke angrily before hurriedly said to Ye Chui, "Many chefs in restaurants on this food street have been planted on this sushi. Although I don't like this kind of thing, my skills will definitely not be so simple."
"Haha, sushi is not exclusive to Japan. We in China also have similar food cooking methods, don't worry. I know it again." Ye Chui said to the middle-aged man with a smile, "If you want tonight, please come and have a look."
The man in the middle was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "It seems that you are very confident in yourself. Well, I will definitely be there at that time and will bring my friends to cheer for you."
"Thank you." Ye Chui nodded with a smile.
After the middle-aged man waited for several diners to finish the meal, he left the hotel first. Ye Chui also started to prepare sushi in the hotel.
"Master, are you really confident that you can defeat that Japanese chef?" Han Yuyan still looked at Ye Chui with some concern on his face, "I heard from Grandpa that Japanese sushi is simple, but it is very difficult to make delicious. This focuses on skills, not recipes. Is it really OK for Master?"
"Believe me in cooking." Ye Chuan said confidently on his face. "But we still have to prepare carefully."
"Ye Chui, just say what you want to do, we will definitely help you well." Dong Youyou said with a smile and patted her chest.
"Oh well."
Ye Chu nodded and thought seriously. Then he started to post a task to several people in the hotel: "Ying Jing, stay in the hotel, the rice requirements for making sushi are very strict, so you must also be very serious about steaming rice. I will teach you how to make it later. In the afternoon, the rice will be taught to you. As for the heavy rain and Vivi..."
"Master, what are you asking us to do?" Han Yuyan immediately asked with great interest.
Ye Chui laughed: "I want you to buy something."
"Buy something?" Han Yuyan and Lin Wei were both stunned.
"Yes, you'd better go shopping around all the nearby shopping malls and buy me a bottle of any brand of vinegar you can see." Ye Chui explained that vinegar in sushi is a very important seasoning. There was a special sushi vinegar for sale in the last life, but sushi has not had that much influence in this life, so Ye Chui should choose the most perfect vinegar to make sushi.
When he heard Ye Chui’s request, it turned out to be so simple, Han Yuyan and Lin Wei immediately nodded.
"What about me?" Dong Youyou asked immediately.
"I want you to buy two ingredients for me, one is freshly unearthed tender ginger, and the other is wasabi." Ye Chui explained, "You should know enough about Hainan's vegetable market and find the best tender ginger and wasabi."
"It's okay to say that tender ginger is. I know many rural merchants who can get the best tender ginger, but this wasabi..." Dong Youyou asked strangely, "What is wasabi?"
"Watermelon is a plant mainly produced in Japan. Its roots can be used to grind out mustard." Ye Chu explained simply.
"So it's just mustard. Isn't it enough to buy mustard sauce just?" Dong Youyou said curiously immediately.
"No, that's not the same thing."
Ye Chui shook his head and said, "The mustard sauce we usually eat is not the same as the mustard sauce made from wasabi. The mustard sauce we buy on weekdays is ground with mustard seeds. my country has been eating this mustard sauce since the Zhou Dynasty. It is yellow in color, while the mustard ground from wasabi roots is green, that is, green mustard, which tastes similar to yellow mustard, but the taste is more fragrant. I don't know if it is sold here in Hainan. Dong Youyou hopes you can try your best to inquire."
"Okay, no problem, I'll cover it with me." Dong Youyou immediately said confidently.
"There are me and me!" Seeing Ye Chui giving everyone tasks one by one, but there was no one with Wang Shiyu, Wang Shiyu pulled Ye Chui's arm and said unhappily, "Brother, have you forgotten me?"
"Of course there is no more." Ye Chui smiled and patted the little head of Wang Shiyu, and continued, "Xiaoyu, the task you want to do is also very important. You can wait a moment..."
As he said this, Ye Chui hurriedly ran out, and after a moment he walked back with a few sugarcane more than one meter long.
"Brother, why are you buying sugarcane?" Wang Shiyu immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Your task is to peel sugarcane!" Ye Chui said with a smile.
"Ah?" Wang Shiyu was stunned. In fact, she liked to eat sugarcane very much. But because the sugarcane was too sweet, Ye Chui never let her eat too much. As a result, the task that Ye Chui assigned to her now was to peel sugarcane?
Happiness comes too quickly...
"Don't think too much. Peeling sugarcane is not something you can eat." Ye Chui reached out and looked at Wang Shiyu's forehead. "What I want is the skin of sugarcane. Don't eat too much sugarcane inside. I'm going to make a big meal in two days."
"Brother, what do you want sugarcane skin for?" An Jing asked strangely.
"The sugarcane skin has a certain sweet aroma and is used to smoke the fish. It can make the fish taste more delicious." Ye Chui explained, pointing to himself, "I will go to the nearby seafood market later. The best fish for sushi is tuna. I want to choose the fish myself. Okay, let's start the action now!"
After Ye Chu left Hainan chicken rice, he came to the nearest seafood market.
Tuna is a very expensive fish species, also known as tuna. It is also called tuna or subwinter fish, mainly divided into yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, albacore tuna, big-eyed tuna, masu tuna and other categories.
Among them, the bluefin tuna is the most expensive. In the last life of Ye Chu, I saw a bluefin tuna that had a transaction price of an astonishing 10 million rmb!
However, it has only been two years since the fish were put on the table due to vegetarian exercise in this world. It is far from the tight fish resources in the previous life. Even humans do not have a very detailed understanding of the taste of tuna, so the types of tuna are not so clear. The tuna sold in the seafood market is not classified in detail, and several tuna types are mixed together.
When Ye Chui discovered this situation, he still looked for precious bluefin tuna or big-eyed tuna with the mentality of picking treasures. It turned out that most of these tunas were ordinary yellowfin tuna, or mixed with some albacore tuna or mosu tuna, but there were no precious bluefin tuna and big-eyed tuna.
However, it is enough to make sushi by Masu tuna. In the last life, the sushi god used to make sushi by Masu tuna.
"Little brother, the tuna tastes similar, and they are all fresh. You don't have to choose so seriously, there is no need." The fishmonger saw Ye Chui's careful selection and reminded him with a smile.
"Is that?" Ye Chui's heart moved. It seemed that the preciousness of tuna had not been recognized yet. He thought about it and said to the fishmonger, "Uncle, although the taste of tuna is similar, I prefer to eat a kind of bluefin tuna. In the future, if you enter bluefin tuna, can you call me directly?"
"Bluefin tuna?" The fishmonger thought about it and nodded, "There is nothing special about this kind of fish except for being big. Two days ago, I bought a bluefin tuna weighing nearly 200 kilograms here. I originally wanted to sell the whole one, but no one was willing to take over and finally stinked."
Ye Chu: "…"
The 200-pound bluefin tuna was worth at least 100,000 yuan in the last life. I just stinked and threw it away here...
"Next time I meet bluefin tuna, please contact me and I will buy it all." Ye Chui said with a heavy face - the average price of 200 kilograms of bluefin tuna is only a few thousand yuan in the world, but the delicious meat of bluefin tuna is definitely worth the money.
"As long, I will contact you when the time comes." The fishmonger agreed quickly with a smile.
Then, according to his previous life experience, Ye Chui selected one of several tunas.
Because the tuna is huge, fishmongers generally do not ask for the whole one to be sold (the previous bluefin tuna is an exception), so Ye Chui specially chose a part of the back of the fish near the head and returned to Hainan chicken after the rice with heavy fish meat.
Children Wang Shiyu had peeled a pile of sugarcane skins. The leaves hunched in the kitchen and raised the stove. Throwing these sweet paper peels into the stove immediately. The smoke suddenly rose. However, the smoke was not choking, but it had an unspeakable sweet fragrance. The leaves hunched the whole piece of tuna on the sugarcane skin for smoke and roasting.
About half an hour later, the originally bright red fish had been dyed with a dark red layer, and the tuna was temporarily completed.
Han Yuyan and Lin Wei also returned to the hotel with a bunch of jealousy. Dong Youyou also called, but she actually found something like wasabi and was rushing back.
At this time, I don’t know whether it was the reason why Zhang Huabin deliberately announced it or the middle-aged diner. Many people actually knew that Ye Chui wanted to invite Yan Hao from Iijima to eat sushi. At night, the small restaurant was crowded...
This made Han Yuyan and Lin Wei Anjing a little nervous.
Ye Chui is still very calm-
"Haha, this Japanese restaurant wants to turn our four famous dishes in Hainan into its own sushi, so I will use their sushi to teach them a lesson!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
