Secretary Fang was watching intently.”It feels like a performance.” He had seen many chefs, and many of them could cook with ease, but he was definitely the only one who could cook like a painting.
As for Yuan Zhou’s ability, even his direct disciple, Cheng zhaomei, was far from it.
If they were focused on doing things or looking at things, they would not feel that time had passed very quickly. The three of them felt that they had just begun to look at the dishes and the dishes were already ready.
Everyone only came back to their senses when they smelled the fragrance.
The first dishes were the cold eating rabbit and the meatball with crab powder.
“You’re up so quickly?” Leader Zhao looked at his watch subconsciously and realized that only ten minutes had passed.
“It is indeed very fast.” Gao Fei was a little envious.
Yuan Zhou’s plate presentation had always been outstanding. Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract famous France chefs like Moliere and Dean.
The cold-eating rabbit didn’t have much of an appearance. It was just placed on a white plate, but the red chili, dark-colored rabbit meat, and all kinds of red ingredients contrasted with the White plate, making people drool.
As for the meatball, it was even more artistic. The meatball was as white as white jade and only a circle smaller than a woman’s fist. It was round in the milky white soup. In the small red bowl, there were a few pieces of green vegetables floating. The meatball was sprinkled with a little bit of orange crab roe. The color was clear and light, as if it could make people feel calm.
It was stewed meatball with crab powder.
“It does look exquisite,” Leader Zhao looked at Secretary Fang’s lion head and then stared at his own cold-eating rabbit.
At first, he thought that it was a haphazard and random cold-eating rabbit, but after a closer look, he found that it wasn’t like that. The meat and seasoning seemed to be in a 2: The rabbit meat was a little smaller than the ingredients, so it was easy to recognize. There was no need to worry about getting it wrong.
As he took a deep breath, the spicy smell filled his nose. Leader Zhao, who was used to eating Lu cuisine with thick oil and red sauce, felt a little uncomfortable. However, his saliva was clearly exuberant, indicating that his stomach was already starting to move.
Leader Zhao picked up his chopsticks and accurately picked up a piece of meat. The skin seemed to be connected to the rabbit skin, and it was red and shiny. The rabbit meat inside seemed to have shrunk slightly, but as the chopsticks got closer, the fragrance became stronger.
When he put it into his mouth, the chewy rabbit skin had a soft and sticky texture. The rabbit meat inside was slightly crispy and had a lot of juice. It was crispy at first, then soft and tender. It was very delicious. The spicy taste was just enough to stimulate the taste buds. After taking a bite, his hand immediately wanted to grab a second piece.
“It’s delicious and spicy. ” Leader Zhao didn’t stop eating.
Those who had eaten Sichuan cuisine, especially those who had eaten spicy dishes, knew that the more they ate, the spicier they became. The spicier they were, the more they wanted to eat it. It was as if they couldn’t stop eating after eating Stride Gum.
This was the current state leader Zhao was in. Sitting beside him, Gao Fei saw that leader Zhao was still a little reserved at the start and was eating slowly, but the more he ate, the faster he ate. In the end, he was practically moving his chopsticks at lightning speed. When he ate, he did not even let go of the side dishes. He put one chili after another into his mouth, and immediately,”ka Cha, ka Cha” sounds could be heard as if he was chewing on bones. It was crunchy.
Gao Fei’s eyes were burning with desire. The food he ordered had not arrived yet, so he turned to look at Secretary Fang. Perhaps he could get some of it. Then, he saw Secretary Fang slowly put down the small cup, gulping down the last mouthful of soup, and looking very satisfied.
If Gao Fei had an emoji pack right now, he would probably be staring with wide eyes in shock. This time, he would just open his mouth and pour it out. It was gone so quickly.
“The meat is fine and smooth. The crab roe is pink, glutinous, fresh, and sweet. It’s very delicious. Even the vegetables are crunchy and tender. I feel like I’ve probably eaten pig food before.” Secretary Fang praised.
Many chefs were offended by Secretary Fang’s words, including his mother, who was cooking at home.
Gao Fei looked at Secretary Fang’s mouth in confusion, then at his stomach. He turned around and saw leader Zhao sitting upright and drinking water. His plate was already very clean.
“Sichuan cuisine should be head chef Yuan’s best dish. The people who cook in this area should gain a few pounds.” Secretary Fang really wanted to eat, but this was a treat from the leader, so he couldn’t be reckless.
“Although I’ve tried some Sichuan cuisine before, I’ve finally tasted the true deliciousness of Sichuan cuisine today. I can somewhat understand what Chairman Zhou said. The thing that drives Taoxi road is not food, but head chef Yuan.” Leader Zhao said.
There was a hint of disappointment in his tone. At the moment, it seemed like he could forget about the food street.
Gao Fei had not eaten a single dish so far, and he felt a little guilty. Although he could tell from leader Zhao and the other two’s reactions that the food was really delicious, he could not imagine it without eating it.
Fortunately, Gao Fei didn’t have to wait long before the remaining dishes were served.
The most exquisite and eye-catching dish was naturally the swallow in the sea ordered by leader Zhao. It was quite exquisite and beautiful.
As an old Lu dish, Yanzi naohai was a dish that not many people could make well. Moreover, restaurants were rare, so it was very eye-catching when it was first presented.
As a pictogram dish, it was naturally very exquisite and beautiful both inside and outside the plate.
The big light blue Plate was surrounded by a circle of lifelike swallows. The sea cucumber in the blue sea was slightly rolled up, and the thick oil and red sauce were the essence of Lu cuisine. The outside looked fresh and delicious, and the inside was beautiful and eye-catching sea cucumbers. The swallow’s sea-roaming reputation was well-deserved.
“Plate presentation is also an art. Who says our plate presentation is not as good as French food? Whoever said that should come to master chef Restaurant to have a look. ” Leader Zhao almost put his head on the plate without any image.
Take the swallow for example. If he didn’t see that the back of it turned red and if he looked carefully, he could tell that it was a shrimp tail. He would have thought that it was a real swallow lying there quietly. It was really too vivid.
Leader Zhao had eaten this dish before, so he was even more surprised. When he had eaten it before, he could still tell that the swallow was made of shrimp, fish paste, and other ingredients such as cucumber for wings and red pepper for the mouth. To put it bluntly, he could tell the raw materials at a glance.
However, Yuan Zhou couldn’t see it at all. The only thing that could be seen was the circle of green vegetables around the sea cucumber.
Leader Zhao was only surprised by Yuan Zhou’s magnificent appearance. As for Gao Fei, he was amazed by Yuan Zhou’s knife skills and the heat control that had reached the point of perfection. He didn’t even have the time to look at his own dishes.
As a rising star in Shandong cuisine, Gao Fei naturally knew how to cook this dish. However, knowing how to cook and being able to cook it well were two different things. He had experienced it today.
Compared to Yuan Zhou, he really only knew how to cook this dish and was not qualified to talk about other things.
As for Secretary Fang, he was very smart. He only took a quick glance and immersed himself in his food. In his words,”you can only look but not eat. It’s better to look less. Otherwise, aren’t you just asking for trouble?”
He was indeed a smart one.
After leader Zhao was done marveling, he decided to start eating. The swallow was too perfect, so he decided to start with the sea cucumber, which was easier to accept.
