While holding Lingxiang's waist, Shen Hao curiously watched the movements of Chef Zhang's hands in front of him.
Before catching the fish, the chef took a glove and put it on, then stretched it into the water, and a cold moon landed on the chopping board. Then he took out a long and narrow knife in his hand to remove the scales and disembowel the fish. It was done in one go, and even with Shen Hao's eyesight, he could only see a little bit of blood flashing across the chopping board, and then it was scooped out and rinsed away with water.
"What a fast knife!" Shen Hao frowned slightly. This cook could draw and retract the knife very quickly, and his movements were extremely concise, but this man was really just an ordinary person.
Is this the ultimate in practice makes perfect?
As soon as the thoughts in my mind turned around, I saw that the chef had completed the first step of preparing Hanyue Fish and Chowder.
The gloves were taken off and replaced with a pair of transparent gloves as thin as cicada wings.
"What do those gloves say?"
"Haha, sir, you have a keen eye. Those gloves are extraordinary. They are slowly molded out of rice milk. The main purpose is to prevent the cook's hands from coming into contact with the raw meat. At the same time, the rice milk gloves will not be contaminated with unclean things. Good luck."
"Throw it away after use?"
"Yes, only once."
Wearing such thin gloves was very troublesome, and it took me more than ten breaths to put them on tightly on my hands with the help of two assistants. Then he came out with a knife that was half a foot long and half an inch wide.
At this time, the fish on the chopping board was still swinging, and the neurological reaction had not disappeared.
An extremely subtle tearing sound of a blade: "Hiss..."
It was like gently slicing a piece of butter. When the knife was raised, the chef was obviously showing off his skills. He raised his hand and allowed Shen Hao and others to clearly see the piece of fish hanging on the blade. Only the edge was transparent. Some fleshy textures can be seen in parts!
Cutting it so thin eliminates the need to pick out the bones in the fish, and you won't even feel them when eating.
Cut it piece by piece and put it on the plate. The knife is like a fluttering butterfly, which is beautiful and amazing.
A fish was sliced into pieces in just a cup of tea, and was placed on a plate in a flower-like pattern. In the middle is a small plate of yellow and red dipping sauce.
Of course, if you want to enjoy the most original umami, you don’t need dipping sauce. Pick it up with chopsticks and put it directly into your mouth, which will instantly transport you to the depths of the Baijiang River and experience the most original taste of fish.
When you eat meat for the first time, it feels like it "melts in your mouth", and it's really like an explosion of umami. It stimulates your taste buds and also rushes back to the tip of your nose, giving you a strange fragrance, just like The kind of water vapor by the river on a midsummer night.
"tasty!"
After eating three slices in a row, Shen Hao nodded heavily. This was the first time he had eaten such delicious food.
Shen Hao moved his chopsticks, and the rest of the people also started to move their chopsticks, each of them intoxicated.
Even though this first fish weighed more than two kilograms, it was so delicious that it quickly disappeared after a few chopsticks per person, and even the dipping sauce on the middle plate was wiped clean.
When the chef saw that the food was finished, he asked the waiter next to him to serve ginger tea. It is said that cold air will accumulate in the stomach after eating raw vegetables, which is harmful to the body. Therefore, drinking hot ginger tea not only helps digestion but also drives away the cold air. It is a necessary combination for eating raw vegetables.
While drinking hot ginger tea, I watched Chef Zhang continue to cook the second Hanyue Fish...
The three fish were eaten for half an hour as if they were watching a show. Then there was the normal banquet, but the dishes that I thought were delicious in the past always tasted bad when I ate them in my mouth.
"I heard that the cold moon fish is not only extremely delicious, it can also be used as medicine to make elixirs and has the effect of purifying the heart." Liu Hengyi also had no taste for the dishes he was sitting on and just drank.
"Medicine?"
"Yeah. Sometimes you can meet monks collecting such fish from fishermen, that is, collecting them to refine medicine."
The banquet continued, and Shen Hao still dug two large bowls of rice to fill himself up. Then he got interested and competed with Liu Hengyi for wine. Moreover, he used the Wuliangye brewed for a year in his storage bag. Each person drank two jars before talking. .
As a result, Liu Hengyi, a self-proclaimed "drinker who can drink well", immediately shrank under the table after two drinks. Shen Hao blinked and blinked for a long time before he realized: You have the nerve to say that you are OK with such a small amount of alcohol?
As a result, Shen Hao couldn't find anyone to fight with as soon as he became addicted to alcohol.
Lianxiang? This woman never drank too much. She usually drank three glasses, but at most five glasses were enough.
The singer who accompanied Liu Hengyi very wisely asked the attendant to carry Liu Hengyi out of the room, saying that he could find a quiet place to sober up Liu Hengyi, but if that didn't work, he fell asleep here. On the way out, I informed Liu Hengyi's followers.
"boom."
The people in the wing closed the door again, and only Shen Hao and two women were left inside.
Lianxiang still hung in Shen Hao's arms as before, while Ning Ziyi sipped her wine and looked at Shen Hao's face with depression written all over it.
"Master Ning, didn't you say you wanted to listen to your new song for me? Now that you've had a good meal and a meal, it's the time to listen to music, why don't you show your hand to it, Master Ning?"
"not in the mood."
"Staying in one place for too long will definitely affect your mood. Ning and everyone should set off early and travel around the country and visit great rivers and mountains. Wouldn't it be fun?" Shen Hao drank and poured himself, and at the same time felt that Ning Ziyi was not leaving here. Extremely annoying. If this woman wasn't here, he would be able to communicate intimately with Reixiang again.
"You want to drive me away? Humph, stop dreaming. I will stay here for a while and watch Lianxiang, so as not to be killed by a hungry wolf like you." Ning Ziyi said as he pulled the crooked Lianxiang in Shen Hao's arms wanted to sit up, but the other person was as if he had no bones and couldn't pull him up at all.
Seemingly angry, Ning Ziyi patted Lianxiang's arm and said angrily: "Can you be more serious! Get up!"
"Hehe, I don't! I'm a singer, I can't be serious."
Although they didn't say it explicitly, the three of them knew it in their minds. At least Shen Hao knew that these two were not singers or piano players, but they were doing jobs similar to spies.
"I've always wanted to ask how you sell the information you collected in the Flower House? Or do you choose your customers?"
Lianxiang raised her head and glanced at Shen Hao, then buried her head in Shen Hao's arms, seemingly not planning to answer. On the contrary, Ning Ziyi looked at Shen Hao seriously.
"What? You still want to find out about us? Tsk, Mr. Shen, you should take care of yourself. I heard that you were almost killed on the street by someone using phantom killing before. Do you have any clues?"
"Everyone Ning, are you trying to spy on me?"
"There are not many people who are good at phantom killing, and if you dare to intercept and kill a Xuanqing guard on the street, your courage... is boundless. But in my opinion, killing you is the second best thing. I think The key is to make the matter bigger. But it seems that they failed." Ning Ziyi added another sentence without thinking about it, but it hit the point directly.
