372 All Ospreys!
Ling Zhenfeng stared at the "baby kitchen knife" in Zhou Dong's hand, almost drooling.
The kitchen knife had already turned into a dark blue sword light, floating around the Chudu grass carp, and it looked like a maggot on the tars. It was tightly attached to the fish scales. I saw layers of gray-white powder being forced out by the knife light, scattered in the air, and then quickly dissipated by the mountain wind.
Scales!
What is peeled off is the attachment formed by the outer layer of the fish scales over the years and the overhardened outer layer. After this layer is peeled off, the cross-section of the fish scales will appear jade-white. Through the thin fish scales, you can vaguely see the snow-white fish meat below and the capillaries inside the fish meat.
What a knife!
The scales are thin and smooth, and ordinary chefs just scrape the scales against the roots of the scales. However, with such a "simple" operation, many people cannot do it perfectly, let alone use their superb skills to cut off the outer layer of the scales.
Ling Zhenfeng was amazed, and was somewhat unconvinced. He would rather attribute it to this precious kitchen knife, otherwise Zhou Dong could do what he, the "Five Lakes Fish King", could not do? It can be seen that it is "to be sharpened first if you want to do something well". What I and him are just a kitchen knife...
Zhou Dong quickly finished cutting the Chudu grass carp above, and his palm slightly encouraged. The grass carp below immediately exchanged positions with the one above. The sword light started to slimly, and soon the scales of the grass carp were cut off again.
Then put the two fish on the old pine branches prepared in advance, and scoop on the fire to roast.
At this time, the pine wood in the fire pit just burned halfway through, and there was a faint pine wood aroma, but there was no smoke rising. The fire color showed a light yellow color, indicating that the temperature of the fire was not high or low, which was suitable for grilling fish.
Zhou Dong held the two hands of the pine branches and began a series of dazzling interlaced flying.
The Dragon God's eyes were almost straightened.
In his opinion, Zhou Dong's hands were like the hands of a magician. The two skewers of grilled fish rose to the outside of the wood and fire as his gestures changed, and the flames paused for a short time, and then fell to the root of the fire and almost stuck to the burning pine wood. They slowly passed through the flames and then quickly pulled away. They only baked outside the flames with the released heat. The peeled fish scales produced an incredible change...
"So the so-called scale-flavored grilled fish really need to use these scales?"
The dragon master clearly saw that the scales that had been peeled off gradually became soft under the heat baking, and finally turned into a fat-like liquid, like a special oil, which was absorbed by the fish body bit by bit.
The fish that absorbed these scaled fats showed a dark red color. This was not the color that the fish was about to be burned. It was obviously roasted to a light yellow by Zhou Dong, which was clearly the color that changed in an instant.
"So fish scales have such a wonderful use? Unfortunately, I can't learn the sword skills of Master Zhou, and I can't 'cutting scales'. Even if I understand it, I can't pretend to be X. Alas, I can't pretend to be X in front of girls, and I can only exaggerate the description in the novel. I pretend to be X in front of readers. This seems to be OK..."
"He really had this idea and actually used scales to turn grease!"
Ling Zhenfeng was shocked and frowned and looked at Zhou Dong.
At the same time, those who looked at Zhou Dong were Baiweisheng, Huailiangren, and Yan Yi. All of these experts had enough eyes, and they could see clearly than the Dragon God. They also knew their roots well. The shock in their hearts was naturally even more shocked than the Dragon God.
The essence of the fish body is hidden in blood and in scales, but fish scales are difficult to deal with. Generally, when fish scales are left behind, it is too fishy, and the heat is difficult to master. If you stew the fish scales softly, can the fish meat be eaten?
Therefore, even Lingzhenfeng, the Five Lakes Fish King, rarely leaves fish scales, unless there is a type called "Spring Fish" in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou. The fish scales are extremely soft because they grow in sweet spring water and do not have much fishy smell. When cooking this fish, you can first fry it thoroughly and then braised. The fish scales are also delicious.
Since he went to Kyoto to be the chef of the National Banquet, even if there are spring water fish, he still has to get rid of scales. The Russians who visited China rarely even eat fresh water fish. If you ask them to eat scale fish, then you have to call God one by one? Whether it is right or wrong, it will be a loss of national character.
But even Ling Zhenfeng, a person who has been dealing with fish for half his life, did not expect to use fish scales in this way.
After Zhou Dong cut off the outer hard skin, these fish scales suddenly became much more "soft". They were then roasted to the critical point by him using the fire of the civil and military Zhou Zhi, and turned into oil. The fish scales were naturally extremely fishy, but once they turned into hot fat, the fishy smell was forced out and turned into extremely fresh.
Ling Zhenfeng sighed slightly because he understood how difficult it is to use scale fat to increase freshness of grilled fish. Half of this layer of hot fat will be absorbed by the fish body, while the other half will remain on the surface. Once the chef can't control the heat, this layer of hot fat will condense a lot of heat, burning the fish meat, and even burning the scale fat by the firepower, turning it into a layer of black things.
"Chef Zhou is a good method, this layer of scale is excellent."
The two grilled fish were naturally not enough to divide them. Zhou Dong cut them into thin grilled fish fillets and tasted them with a few people. The fish was originally roasted red by Zhou Dong, because a layer of light yellow scale fat was left on the outer layer and turned golden red, which made people drool.
Even Ling Zhenfeng saw such a grilled fish for the first time. He really sighed in his heart that he had been making fish for half his life, but when it comes to grilled fish, it fell behind this young man.
Including the Dragon Master, the generals and the Cang Yanshan who arrived, both experts and the Bangmao were attracted by the beautiful appearance of the grilled fish. They picked up chopsticks and picked them up lightly and slowly, as if they were afraid that the more powerful they would be used, they would crush these delicious grilled fish fillets.
Baiweisheng put the grilled fish fillet under his nose and sniffed it. His breathing suddenly became a little rapid. He stretched out his chopsticks and gently pinched it on the fish fillet. The grilled fish fillet was pinched by the chopsticks and suddenly became slightly concave inward. However, the outer membrane melted by the scale fat did not break at all, and he also felt the rebound force from the tip of the chopsticks.
His eyes lit up suddenly, and he was filled with joy. It seemed that the Hundred Schools of Diligent Weapons are about to make a comeback. He ranked this young master eighth before, but I was afraid he really underestimated him.
These are all the later words. Let’s eat the food at your mouth first. The sixth sense of a professional foodie tells Bai Weisheng that this is not the time to show off his style. The so-called chefs around him will soon become ‘ostepreys’!
And there are also a group of ospreys that eat cooked but not raw, but love grilled fish...
Several people looked at each other and accelerated their eating speed at the same time.
‘Kake!
Krakka!’
The outer membrane formed by this layer of scale fat is much hotter than imagined. The hot guys stared at the same time, but none of them gave in. They didn't even affect their eating speed slightly. They just stared straight and bit them.
Suddenly, the fat smell filled my mouth, but it wasn't that kind of sweet fragrance.
The fat is also very fragrant, but you can try a few more pieces to ensure you have no appetite in the next meal. Although the scale fat is rich, it will not have any greasy feeling, and it has a unique cold and fresh fragrance.
Moreover, the fat layer made of this fish scale has a crispy taste. When I first bite it, I felt like eating the old oil residue that was slightly fried but had a very strong aftertaste. There was an indescribable joy and pleasure between my lips and teeth, which was something that many delicacies could not give.
After enjoying this rare scale fat, it is the white and tender fish meat. The fish meat with a slight pine aroma melts in the mouth, fresh and sweet. The most wonderful thing is that after it melts into the mouth, it immediately makes people feel saliva. The rippling saliva constantly echoes in the mouth, gradually making a person's heart feel restless.
When you were feeling a little lost and sighing why someone could grill fish to this level, you suddenly found that under the swelling of body fluid, a cool and fresh fragrance was found from the bottom of the tongue and the cracks of teeth. It was the unique smell of scale fat. It turned out that it had not dissipated at all, and it was squirting out again at this moment!
Nine of such people.
In ancient times, there was the sound of the surround of the Liang Dynasty, but now there was the fragrance of the surround of the teeth nine times!
A grilled fish with scales in Zhou Dong's hands was like a myth, which not only made people feel the sweet and fresh flavor of the fish, but also the rare fragrance of scales in the human world, which was circling around the teeth without interruption...
If Ling Zhenfeng’s “Steamed Lake Fresh” is a human change that fully retains the original taste of the ingredients, Zhou Dong’s “Scale-flavored Grilled Fish” deduces the human change to the extreme and is sublimated on this basis!
Baiweisheng, Huailiangren, Yan Yi and even Ling Zhenfeng, as his opponent, were all drooling and confused. These top chefs and food experts, the more experts they are, the more they understand how great this grilled fish is. In the face of this delicacy, they are even more likely to get lost than laymen like Cang Yanshan and Long Dashen.
Such grilled fish is simply hard to come by, but Zhou Dong was so stingy that he only roasted two!
So, these grilled fish should belong to me, and others don’t know how to eat them, that’s not a waste!
"Crack, bang bang bang!"
Several pairs of chopsticks intersected in the air, and refused to give in to each other. Several gazes with anger were also fighting at the same time. They all saw anger faintly. The dragon god looked down at the plate, and he was very surprised. The plate was empty, why are you fighting for?
Cang Yanshan laughed loudly, looked at Ling Zhenfeng, who was carrying two drops of fish oil at the corner of his mouth, and raised his thumbs up to Zhou Dong: "Brother Zhou, it's amazing!
Although I have always loved to eat fish, I always feel that this thing is not as satisfying as beef sauce. It is almost the same as the white wine used by foreigners. It is always a bit bad with our wine, but your grilled fish dish is different. Haha I eat the most!
Don’t look at me with this kind of gaze. Who makes you want to eat and face? Although the chopsticks are not slow, the way to pick up food is too gentle. It’s not like my old warehouse, I copy these chopsticks horizontally!”
"It's outrageous. Your way of eating is simply a waste of food!"
"A ordinary person may not have to meet such delicious foods that reflect craftsmanship several times in his life. How can he swallow it like Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit like you? It's simply not a son of man, not a son of man!"
"So wastes the resources!"
"I'm the one with Cang, next time I'll buy you good beef with sauce and let you have enough food. Don't waste good things?"
Ling Zhenfeng looked at Cang Yanshan helplessly: "Old Cang, you should think from the perspective of others. If you see the cow drinking nectar, what should you think?"
"What did you say!" Cang Yanshan glared and said, "Who dares to ruin fine wine like this? I can't spare him first. I will use the worst-quality white wine to get him drunk, which will make him suffer until he dies!"
Lao Cang just now had half a plate of grilled fish fillets and had a total of ten kilograms and three bowls, but Ganghe and the generals were in harmony. He said that he could not resist drinking like this. Now everyone is angry, but when facing Zhou Dong, he knew to restrain himself. He would not be able to restrain himself. The wine he had just drunk ran to the wine cellar and stolen. As the saying goes, the guilty heart of being a thief.
Ling Zhenfeng gave him a fierce look: "You are the one who just now, and you will never change your appearance in the future. Don't say you know me!"
When the mountain breeze blew, the alcohol was rising, and the foot of Cangyan Mountain became a little staggering, but the laughter became even louder: "Hahaha, I also said that my eating behavior, the oil on your mouth was not wiped clean..."
Ling Zhenfeng was stunned and quickly wiped the corner of his mouth. There was indeed a trace of oil on his palm. Baiweisheng, Huailiangren and Yan Yizheng wanted to laugh, but suddenly their faces changed and they raised their hands to wipe them towards their mouths.
Several people were moving very quickly. Before Master Long carefully observed life, he had already wiped the oil on the corner of his mouth cleanly. Baiweisheng coughed: "You have tasted both of you. The King of Lingyu is worthy of being the King of Fish. A "stewed lake" has the nature of a hundred fish. It is even more wonderful to use Houttuynia cordata to eliminate fish fish. A dish of stewed lake food almost touched the edge of the kitchen path..."
"Hehe, thank you Mr. Bai for your comment. You are giving me a face."
Ling Zhenfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Ling is still self-aware. I am not as good as Chef Zhou in this fish dish competition. I am willing to accept the loss. I lost this time!"
Everyone nodded slightly,
Everyone is an expert, so they can naturally understand and eat clearly. Not to mention the level of the two people reflected in the dishes, but in terms of usage and ingredients, Ling Zhenfeng has already lost.
He stewed and cooked, and was an original new cooking method. However, Zhou Dong used the simplest and most rough roast; he used Houttuynia cordata, local eggs, and frogs and eels, and used three fish heads alone, but Zhou Dong was two Chudu grass carp, and there was no other thing added together. The difference between the quality and inferiority of this was even an outsider like Long Da Shen.
Not to mention that Zhou Dong's plate of grilled fish almost made a group of insiders and outsiders almost fight. Even the drunkard, Cang Yanshan, who only recognizes sauce beef, was applauded. On the contrary, although Ling Zhenfeng's stewed lake food was also praised by everyone, they still couldn't let them put down the airs of gourmets and chefs.
