"No, it's the color of the fish that has been stewed for a long time." Cellululu replied with a smile.
Western fish soup is usually transparent and slightly yellow in color due to the short cooking time and the addition of spices such as tomatoes or saffron. It’s not like I have never seen fish soup with this color.
Seeing that the assistant director and Director Victor still looked like they didn't understand, she simply explained it carefully.
"Fry the fish with onion and ginger, then put it into boiling water and cook it slowly. When the time is up, it will naturally turn into a milky white color like milk. It tastes mellow and delicious, with only the fish flavor."
"Listen to what you said, I definitely need to drink it."
Victor laughed and took the lead in filling a bowl. He was surprised when he saw the tofu inside.
"Isn't this tofu usually eaten fried? It turns out that it can also be cooked in soup? However, the tofu is bland and cannot complement the strong taste. It feels fresh when put in the soup."
Tofu itself is tasteless, so people here like to use Japanese cooking methods to make fried tofu, with soy sauce and green onions, and the taste is extremely rich. No wonder Director Victor has this doubt.
Cellululu smiled, you will know if it is good or not after eating it.
Sure enough, when Victor took a sip of fish soup, his eyes lit up and he drank loudly.
“It’s so fresh, my God, so it’s just the fish soup that tastes so good? Adding other things to it makes it take the spotlight!”
He spooned another piece of tofu and ate it in one bite. The tofu slid into his mouth like jelly, but it was countless times more tender than jelly. Before he bit it, it had already spread out on its own. It was as delicate as grease, but it was not Victor. As expected, it may be tasteless or full of beany smell. The loose texture makes it full of delicious fish soup, but the taste is more dense than drinking pure fish soup.
"Okay, tofu and this fish soup are a match made in heaven. This combination is really a genius!"
Director Victor was completely obsessed with this taste and stopped eating the local mixed fish soup. He specialized in fish soup made from celluloid, and the fish in this soup was not completely removed like the fish in the mixed fish soup. It is edible, the meat is firm and chewy, a bite of tofu, a bite of fish, and a bite of soup. Victor couldn't stop eating this trio.
After Menqi slowly tasted it, his face looked surprised and a little complicated.
"Because fish is fishy, the cooking thinking has always been to use spices to remove the fishy smell. Later generations of people improved it and just kept adjusting or increasing the spice ratio. However, they did not expect that they could actually consider subtracting and using only green onions. The two flavors of ginger can bring out the original flavor of fish and eliminate the fishy smell. Miku, you have taught me another lesson, make good use of subtraction!"
Cellululu was also secretly surprised that Menqi could understand everything at once. She was truly a genius in the cooking world. At least she couldn't make such inferences. She only gained a broad perspective by standing on the shoulders of countless ancestors. thinking.
However, fish soup must have its original taste, and Cellululu doesn’t think that is entirely the case. At least, after she tasted the local mixed fish soup, she felt that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, although it is true that the fish itself is delicious. It covers up a lot, but the compound taste of multi-spice vegetables, seafood, and fish soup is another level of deliciousness. It has the freshness of fish, the fragrance of vegetables, and the strong fragrance of spices. Even because of the addition of A bit of butter, a whiff of milk, and the unique umami flavor of shellfish, it can be called a Western-style Buddha jumping over the wall. This rich and fragrant soup is fragrant but a little bland and dry. The hard baguette is delicious when dipped into it.
Celluloid praised sincerely.
"It is indeed a local famous product. This addition is simply perfect." She smiled and winked at Menqi.
Menqi also smiled. Addition and subtraction are just a way of thinking. She was shocked just now and actually had a trace of doubt about past cooking concepts. It was probably because the impact of celluloid on her was too great.
There are just a lot of people in Chrollo. No matter what the cooking philosophy is, deliciousness is the last word. Therefore, a few people tasted it and found that the fish soup of Celluloid is also delicious, and the mixed fish soup is also delicious. However, Based on the mentality of loving the house and being a gangster, it is naturally more of a place for showing off the celluloid. The others just had a taste of the fish soup, and it was all wrapped up by a few men, leaving the rest of the people who were not satisfied with the food to look at it eagerly and greedily. Empty pot bottom.
After finishing the soup, Menqi wiped his mouth and looked at Celluloid with interest.
"Then my dishes and the dishes from the Villa are considered staple food, but I see that you have several dishes that seem to have a mix of light and rich flavors? It's up to you to introduce them."
Cellululu did not refuse, stood up and introduced them one by one.
"Staple food is easy to fill your stomach, so let's try the dishes I cook first. These three dishes are steamed Eastern Star Spot, steamed baby abalone and scallops to eat first. Sai crab is tender and slightly sour, suitable for appetizers, and then there is the sweet and sour squirrel. Fish and braised fish with rice dumplings stuffed with wine, followed by the salty and rich sauce-braised aconite, garlic catfish pot, and finally the spicy fish head with chopped pepper, pickled fish with green peppercorns and Wanzhou grilled fish.”
Everyone was drooling after hearing this. As soon as Cellululu finished speaking, everyone's chopsticks went towards the third dish of steamed vegetables.
The small abalone and scallop are elastic and tough. The unique deliciousness of the shellfish is stimulated by the soy sauce, which makes the eyebrows and beards fall off. The Eastern grouper fish meat is standard garlic braid meat, and it is a complete and snow-white piece in one pinch. Pour the hot oil on the shredded green onions, dip it in the steamed fish drum oil, mix it together and eat it, the taste is so delicious that there is nothing to say.
The knight liked this steamed fish very much, and one person cooked a whole fish. Celluloid only steamed four fish in total, and it was shared by so many people, which shows that the knight liked it.
However, others saw that he was robbing so fiercely and did not fight with him. Their stomachs were limited and there were still so many delicious things to eat. They all started to spoon crabs into their own bowls. When the name Miku was spoken, In fact, everyone was very puzzled. It was obviously not made from crabs, so why did it have a crab in its name? But after eating it, they were all stunned.
"This...is this a crab? But it's obviously not made of a crab, right?"
Victor blurted out in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief, why can fish meat and egg whites added with a little vinegar simulate the taste of crabs? This simply subverted his common sense!
"That's why it's called crab racing." Cellululu couldn't help laughing.
"No matter how you eat it, it always looks like a crab? How can it be so fake and fake?"
The assistant director also ate one bite after another with suspicion, but he still thought it was crab.
Menqi was no less shocked than Victor and the assistant director. Using one ingredient to imitate the taste of another ingredient to the point where the fake one resembles the real thing is another new concept in cooking, even more shocking than subtracting food. She was so shocked that she even felt inexplicably in a trance. This was the real state of being full and idle, right? Otherwise, how could she come up with such a strange idea? she asked in a daze.
"How did you come up with this idea?"
"Uh... Probably because... I'm poor..."
Cellululu looked at the sky for a moment, and then she felt a little embarrassed to answer. At least as far as she knew about the history of crab racing, it was indeed because the poor could not afford to eat real crabs that they invented this dish with a similar taste. She thought about it, And he said,
"Of course, this kind of imitation dish is not entirely for the poor. There are also some for the greedy. For example, our famous vegetarian banquet can use vegetables, mushrooms and soy products to make it taste exactly like meat, poultry and seafood. , which was invented for those who want to fast but can’t give up eating meat.”
"Poor and greedy..." Menqi was speechless and a little heartbroken. "If I could invent so many dishes out of poverty and greed, then I would, too. After all, my imagination is too limited."
After being slightly depressed, Menqi perked up again and looked at the celluloid with expectant eyes.
"Hatsune, you must make a vegetarian banquet for me to try in the future. I really want to know how to make meat dishes from vegetarian dishes."
"Of course." Knowing that Men Qi was probably going to be stimulated today, Cellululu agreed without any hesitation, lest she not be able to eat and become a demon in her heart.
Only then did Menqi feel better, and then continued to try the next dish, but the next dish still had a surprise, it was squirrel fish that focused on shape. Speaking of which, Western food also pays attention to shape, but it is a geometric pattern shape, unlike Chinese dishes. Dish, this shape usually refers to a specific plant and animal image that exists in nature or a sculpture like a work of art.
The fish is cut into flower knives and fried in a slightly tilted position. The finished product looks like a golden squirrel with its head raised and fluffy hair. It is poured with tomato juice and sprinkled with pine nuts. The finished product is red and yellow in bright colors. ,striking.
"Squirrel fish, it really looks like a squirrel, and it also uses pine nuts, which makes it feel...pointy?"
Menqi looked at the shape and had already discovered the inherent aesthetics of Hatsune's cooking school.
"Well, squirrels shouldn't eat pine nuts." Celluloid joked.
This dish is the most suitable to everyone's tastes that I have eaten so far, because the cooking method is actually very Western. Fried fish and tomato sauce base are common Western techniques, but this combination has never been seen before, so the taste is both Familiar yet fresh.
Hisoka had a high degree of approval for this dish. He held the knife and fork as if he were tasting steak, and enjoyed eating it piece by piece.
Chrollo also prefers sweet dishes, but the tomato sauce is too greasy for him, so the braised fish with fermented rice dumplings is more in line with his taste. It is sour and sweet with a slight smell of sweet rice wine, the dumplings have a soft and waxy texture, and the fish meat is delicate. Soft and tender.
However, sweet dishes are not Feitan's cup of tea. He likes desserts, but not sweet dishes, so he only tasted the squirrel fish and the braised fish with fermented rice dumplings. On the contrary, I had a few more bites of the sauce-roasted aconite.
As for the garlic catfish stew, due to the avoidance of garlic, although this dish tastes good, most people only tasted it briefly, and almost no one touched the garlic. Only Victor smiled happily and took several pieces without hesitation. pellets.
"Garlic is a good thing. It's an energy booster. If you don't want to eat it, I will."
The garlic had been burned to an unusually soft consistency, and there was no smell of garlic at all. Victor praised it so much that he ate all the garlic in this dish.
Finally, it’s time for spicy dishes. The level of spiciness varies from person to person, but generally speaking, those who are accustomed to eating Western food are basically not the type who can tolerate spicy food, so whether it is spicy fish head with chopped peppers or spicy and sour green fish heads, After eating the first bite of pepper fish fillets or the spicy Wanzhou grilled fish, these people took a swig of water. But the charm of spiciness is that the spicier it is, the more you want to eat it. Even though it is extremely painful, you still want to eat it. There were quite a few who were self-inflicted, so they picked up another chopstick to continue the challenge, and then paired it with a large glass of water. They didn't eat a few mouthfuls of fish, but drank several glasses of water, and everyone was full.
Illumi is still the main spicy foodie, and he doesn't need to drink water at all. He can eat it one bite at a time. Feitan can't eat mustard, but the spiciness of chili peppers is bearable. However, among the three spicy dishes, he prefers not to use Sichuan peppercorns. The numbing fish head with chopped pepper was inconvenient to eat. Cellululu saw him frowning and trying hard to fiddle with the fish, but she cleaned out a lot of meat for him.
This thoughtful gesture was naturally appreciated by others. Illumi didn't say anything. He just picked up a plate and glanced at it, letting Cellululu understand the meaning. Of course, Cellululu knew what he meant. She seemed to like him more. Wanzhou grilled fish, with a large piece of belly meat placed on his plate.
The knight was willing and wanted to fight, but he had a standard cat's tongue. He was afraid of hotness and even spicy food. He stuck out his tongue after eating a few mouthfuls, and drank a lot of water to no avail. Naturally, he had no choice but to give up at this time.
Hisoka and Chrollo both have a sweet and light taste. Although they are not unable to eat the spicy and spicy food, they don't like it very much. They both moved their chopsticks slightly and put it down.
Menqi was indeed a gourmet hunter and could adapt well to any food, so even though he was sweating while eating, he fought from beginning to end and shared the three dishes equally with Illumi.
After eating Celluloid's dishes, many people in the production team were actually full, but when faced with Menqi's crispy grilled golden squid and squid ink seafood noodles, they still couldn't control their mouths and just stuffed them down. Quite a few, but when Menqi saw their expressions of happiness and pain, they were both funny and angry. Don't hold on if you can't eat.
Chrollo and the others exercise a lot, so their appetite is naturally much greater than that of the production team. Cellululu eats less of everything, so she naturally has an appetite. Menqi’s leftover dishes were divided among them. .
After the banquet was finished, each of the producers slumped down on their chairs. Even when they stood up, they looked like pregnant women who were nine months pregnant. They all held their waists and slowly rubbed their bellies with their hands, and kept moaning and groaning. Walk slowly.
"No, it's reaching my throat."
"I feel like I can't even lower my head. As soon as I lower my head, the food rushes out."
"It's so painful. My stomach is almost bursting, but I still want to eat. The power of delicious food is really terrifying!"
"It's so scary, you idiots! Don't you know when enough is enough?" Director Victor held his waist and rubbed his belly to stop himself from scolding.
"Haha, Victor, you are eating and drinking like crazy." The assistant director looked at Victor with an expression that said, "You can laugh at a hundred steps at a time."
"I'm really proud of myself today, but how much time do I have to spend in the gym tonight~"
Yuri smiled bitterly. As an artist, he shouldn't eat more. However, Miku and Menqi both made them so delicious that he couldn't help it.
"Hiccup~" Kirby was so full that he didn't want to say anything. The feeling of being full and full made him feel lazy. He even stopped chasing Hatsune Miku. The power of delicious food gave him a storm of xi nao, Only the three words "eat, eat, eat" kept echoing in my mind.
The production team digested their food and continued working, but Chrollo and the others were still refreshed and calm. However, after eating too much, they naturally needed to be consumed, so these few were lazy and immobile throughout the day. , at night, they all went out for a walk, not knowing what they were doing.
Cellululu and Menqi are continuing their own way of processing seafood. After listening to Cellululu's explanation, Menqi is helping to clean the fish fins, fish bones and fish lips to remove excess blood and debris. After the meat is cooked, soak it in water.
Celluloid is processing jellyfish. Jellyfish are poisonous and cannot be eaten directly. They need to be processed with alum to neutralize the alkaline toxins in the jellyfish and evaporate excess water. Although the people in the villa first heard that Celluloid asked for alum. , and it’s very baffling. It’s just a chemical preparation.
The two were chatting and working, and the production team was diligently following and filming. By the time all the seafood was processed, it was already late at night. Seeing that the two of them were tired, Victor automatically canceled the arrest for the night. However, what happened today also gave him inspiration. Victor felt that he could definitely make it a sea-lake-mountain theme. Today is a seafood feast, tomorrow he can have a collection of lake delicacies, and the day after tomorrow he can have a banquet of mountain delicacies. .
He shared this idea with Menqi and Hatsune. They thought it was quite novel and interesting, and they all agreed. Victor happily changed his plan.
Menqi stretched his waist and said full of fighting spirit.
"Lake, I cook very little fish and shellfish in the lake, because there is always an inexhaustible earthy smell, and the fish have many spines, and the shellfish meat is old. I have always felt that the quality of the ingredients is too bad. , no matter how you cook it, it will not be delicious, but seeing your cooking method today gave me a lot of inspiration. I will try my best to turn the unpalatable food into delicious food.
"Yes, but Huxian is as delicious as seafood~, so stay tuned tomorrow!"
After Ce Lulu nodded, her smile was also full of expectation and eagerness to try. She grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, so in fact, compared to seafood, fresh food from the lake is her specialty.
