The fish meat in your mouth is delicious and rich in flavor, and its unique texture reverberates in your mouth.
Lu Xining squinted his eyes, enjoying the delicious taste, while nodding towards Father Li, and vaguely praised: "Uncle Li, what kind of fish is this? It's so delicious!"
Father Li laughed and said, "This is called catfish stewed with potatoes. Not only is the fish meat fresh and tender, but you can also taste the potatoes, and that's the essence!"
Lu Xuning couldn't wait to pick up a piece of potato. He didn't bother to burn his mouth and tasted it while inhaling.
The soft stewed potatoes melt in your mouth and are covered with thick soup. If paired with a mouthful of rice, it will be heavenly.
Lu Xuning turned to greet Li Yan: "Hey, try it, it's really delicious!"
Li Yan frowned, watching Lu Xuning chewing fish in his mouth. He quickly picked up another piece of potato from the plate and put it on the plate in front of him, while his eyes were fixed on the plate, searching for the next food to be eaten.
Tsk, look at this worthless look!
Then he turned around and looked at his father, with an expression that said, "This delicacy should only be found in heaven." He tasted the dishes with relish.
Is it really that delicious?
At this time, the waiter brought a plate full of garlic cloves.
The plate happened to be placed in front of Li Yan.
Li Yan stretched his head and took a look, and couldn't help but be stunned.
What's this?
Laba garlic?
Stir-fried...fish?
It doesn't look like it.
What kind of fish is so fat?
It looked full of grease.
However, it smells quite fragrant, with the fresh aroma of fish mixed with the unique smell of Laba garlic.
The taste is very special.
Just now, in order to lighten the atmosphere, Lu Xuning made a random joke that Li Yan was motion sick and in a bad mood.
This is a false statement.
I got up late in the morning and was busy running errands with my father. I didn't bother to eat, and I just missed the meal at noon.
In the afternoon, he also took a trip to the suburbs. The air in the car was a bit stuffy. His stomach was empty and bumpy for more than three hours. He really felt a little carsick.
The sour and slightly spicy taste of laba garlic made his mouth water just by looking at it.
Lu Luning enjoyed the meal himself, and did not forget to share the good things with him. He turned around and persuaded: "Li Yan, try it. Really, his food is really good! Especially the anchovy stewed with potatoes, it is so fragrant!" "
Li Yan was not interested in potatoes, but his eyes were fixed on the Laba garlic on the plate.
Pursing his lips, Li Yan picked up the chopsticks.
never mind.
Only fools can have trouble with themselves.
Li Yan stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of Laba garlic, but the chopsticks were too slippery and he couldn't pick it up even after picking it up twice.
Tsk!
When he tried again, he picked up a piece of Laba garlic stuck to the fish meat and wanted to pick it all up.
As a result, the chopsticks flew into the air, and the laba garlic was like a flexible little fish, which bounced out directly due to the force of the chopsticks clamping together.
groove!
Li Yan simply picked up the fish and put it in his mouth.
Li Yan: "!"
This fish is very tender and tasty. The fragrant soup has been locked in the meat. The fish is not fishy at all. It has no fishy smell at all. It has a rich aroma and a tender and smooth texture. It tastes completely different from ordinary fish. .
So delicious!
After taking a mouthful of fish, Li Yan couldn't wait to pick up another piece of fish and looked at it carefully first. The light white shiny fish meat is tightly wrapped in dark black fish skin, with brown-red sauce drizzled on top.
It tastes delicious and has a strong aroma.
Lu Xuning asked casually: "How is it? It tastes good, right? Hey! What kind of dish is that of yours? Is this... Laba garlic?"
When Father Li saw Li Yan moving his chopsticks, his tone became gentler: "This is the Eight Garlic Burning Chong Chong."
Lu Xuning was stunned: "Is this a Chongchong fish? It doesn't look like it!"
Father Li showed a smile: "This is their special dish. They use the fish lips of Chong Chong fish. The most delicious part of Chong Chong fish is the fish lips. Cook it with the appetizing Laba garlic. It tastes great." It’s absolutely amazing!”
Lu Xuning became interested. The fish lips looked tender and smooth, and the Laba garlic was not easy to hold, so he simply took two spoonfuls of it on the plate.
This taste immediately opened the door to a new world.
Good guy!
How many insect fish were used in this dish?
No wonder Father Li is planning to come here to try it, it’s really worth a try!
Li Yan's expression changed slightly, and he silently picked up two more pieces of insect and fish lips.
No wonder it tastes so good!
Then he took two cloves of Laba garlic with a spoon and ate them.
Suddenly, my mouth and tongue are full of fluids and my appetite is whetted.
At this time, the last dish, the special fish head soup, was served.
A large porcelain bowl with a wide rim and a wide mouth, filled with milky white fish soup, with a complete fish head lying in the middle, and fish fillets of even thickness inside.
The waiter smiled and announced the name of the dish: "The special fish head soup is ready. Guest, all the dishes on your table have been served."
There were three people at the table, and all six eyes looked at them.
Father Li took the lead in picking up the soup bowl, and while serving the soup with a spoon and scooping out the fish fillets, he said: "Qianlima's fish head soup is very famous, everyone in Bei'an knows it!"
"I came here for dinner once, and a friend happened to know the chef of the restaurant. I was lucky enough to follow him to visit the back kitchen. I saw the chef in charge using a small iron plate to put a ball of fish paste, and then use a small handful of Use a spoon to scrape pieces of fish paste out of the pot. The fish paste flies directly into the pot from the chef's hands and floats on the hot water. After a while, the hot water in the pot boils and pops up one by one. There were small bubbles, and there was a layer of white foam floating on the water.”
Lu Luning asked with great interest: "So this fish fillet is made of pure meat? I always thought it was mixed with flour."
Father Li said with a smile: "No, fish fillets are made by removing the bones and spines of fresh fish, cleaning the meat, and chopping it into pieces. Add minced ginger to remove the fishy smell, and then add salt, sugar and MSG in proportion. Mix the fish with your hands. Rub the seasonings together until the fish meat becomes elastic. After the fish paste is rubbed, put it directly into the seasoned soup, and a steaming bowl of fish fillets is ready."
After all, Li's father was a layman and knew almost nothing about cooking. So at that time, apart from the chef's dictation and his own seeing, he did not have a deep understanding of the making of fish head soup, nor did he know how quickly the chef was rubbing the fish. The quick movements are to keep the fish hot and avoid losing the original flavor of the fish.
This is why Chollima’s specialty fish head soup, which is also fish head soup, is praised as a unique cooking trick.
Seeing Father Li eating it, Lu Lining and Li Yan also stood up and filled a bowl.
The fish soup is piping hot, the fish head is soft and rotten, the fish fillets are fragrant and tender, tender and refreshing.
With a table of six dishes, one soup, and two plates of specialty mackerel dumplings, the three of us were very satisfied.
While eating, Lu Xuning said sincerely: "Uncle Li, this is really a treasure restaurant! All the special dishes are delicious and delicious."
Father Li smiled and said: "They are a century-old brand. If we have the opportunity in the future, let's come and taste it again."
Lu Lining nodded and couldn't help but look at his friend next to him.
Although Li Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end, his attitude of working hard was not inferior at all.
Lu Xining smiled secretly, feeling that his friend's posture was like the "really sweet" emoticon.
He smiled silently, remembering this time-honored restaurant with amazing taste.
