"You didn't lie to Grandpa?" Man Chengde felt that Man Qing was exaggerating. How could such a delicious food exist? Any delicacy has its own unique flavor, but it is too exaggerated to say that after eating one kind of delicacy, you will feel bored with other delicacies.
"If you don't believe it, you will know if you come with me and try it. Recently, whenever I have time, I will go to Yipin Fish Restaurant. Unfortunately, the pure fish there is not cheap, and my salary this month is a bit unreasonable. Spend it!" Manqing said with a pout.
The pure fish in the fish restaurant is not cheap. The cheapest ordinary wild fish costs several hundred yuan, while the expensive ones often cost thousands or even tens of thousands. Even though it is so expensive, this expensive one is the most popular and often out of stock. Manqing couldn't help but sigh, how come Chinese people are so rich?
"Hahaha!" Man Chengde laughed heartily, "I finally figured out what you little guy is trying to do! It turns out you want to blackmail me!"
"What do you mean I'm blackmailing? I'm sharing my latest discovery with you. If you don't want to, I'll go there by myself. But if you want to go, I'll have to work hard without any credit, right? You have to reward me, right?" Man Man Qing smiled.
"Okay, okay! Give me a reward! You lead the way, and I'll go with you to see if you lied to grandpa." Man Chengde said with a smile.

Jiangbian thought that he had mastered his knife skills and he would be able to enjoy a happy life. However, he did not expect that Liu Jiedong would always find a lot of work, leaving Jiangbian with no chance to stop.
Jiang Bian never thought that he would be so ingenious, and he would be able to practice this cooking skill with ease.
In fact, after Jiang Bian underwent marrow cleansing with the I Ching, not only did his body improve greatly, but his brain also functioned much better than before due to the smooth flow of his meridians. Therefore, it is much faster to learn things.
"Although you have almost practiced your knife skills, the next step is to practice garnishing. Garnishing is an important process before cooking. The appropriateness of garnishing is directly related to the color, aroma, taste, shape, quality, quantity, and quality of a single dish. The nutritional value also determines whether the entire banquet dishes can be coordinated.
The garnishing technique seems easy, but in fact it is not simple. It involves a lot of knowledge and is closely related to the renovation of dish varieties and the creation of new dishes.
Yes, you have a very magical ingredient. But your problem lies precisely with this ingredient. You are too dependent on this ingredient, including our fish restaurant, which is also too dependent on this ingredient.
? ? One fresh trick can be eaten everywhere. But have you ever thought about whether customers will get tired of the same flavor after eating it for a long time? What should we do when they get tired of the taste? Liu Jiedong asked.
Jiangbian has never considered this question, so he naturally has no answer. However, the answer seems very obvious. If we continue to rely so much on the secret fish soup, maybe the decline of the fish restaurant will not be too far away.
Liu Jiedong did not wait for Jiangbian's answer, "If you can master the side dishes, then it is possible to rearrange the ingredients to create new flavors and make the flavors of the fish restaurant more diverse. In this way, you will no longer There is a possibility of a cloying taste.¡±
When Man Qing brought Man Chengde to the fish restaurant, Jiang Bian was studying side dishes there.
"Hey! Reporter Man is here again?" Yan Yuan saw Man Qing walking into the fish restaurant and immediately greeted him.
Man Qing helped the fish restaurant a lot last time, but she came to the store several times and never accepted Yan Yuan¡¯s offer of free orders. Yan Yuan felt a little sorry.
"Stop talking nonsense, I brought an expert here today. You want your chef to do it yourself!" Man Qing was not polite at all. She knew that the chef of Yipin Fish Restaurant rarely did the cooking himself.
"What did Reporter Man say? If you bring someone here, the chef will of course cook it himself! In fact, even if the chef doesn't cook it himself, there won't be a big difference in the taste." Yan Yuan said with a smile.
Man Qing and Man Chengde ordered three dishes, but there were two fish dishes: one pure sea bass and one pure yellow tail.
"There is another condition. Not only do we like delicious food, but we are also very interested in cooking. We would like to watch the chef's cooking process live. What do you think?" Manqing added another temporary request.
Yan Yuan was a little embarrassed, he didn't have much confidence about the riverside. Although Jiangbian has been diligently practicing his sword skills recently, he is still sharpening his skills before battle, and it is difficult to predict whether the results will be effective.
Man Chengde was a little embarrassed when he saw Yan Yuan, thinking that Yan Yuan was jealous of others.?Look at the production process. For some people who make secret delicacies, even family members are not allowed to watch the making process. Only the heirs can receive step-by-step instruction.
¡°If it¡¯s inconvenient, forget it.¡± Man Chengde said.
Yan Yuan said apologetically, "Well, I'll go in and ask Master Jiang to see if he agrees."
"This is the best." Man Chengde said.
Yan Yuan walked into the kitchen and had just told Jiang Bian about the situation outside.
Before Jiangbian could speak, Liu Jiedong said first, "Okay! Why not? Jiangbian has no problem now. Instead, he needs such a test! Otherwise, when the competition starts, in full view of the public, will Jiangbian be able to let go?" , very worrying.¡±
Although Jiang Bian is the chef, at this time, he is enjoying the treatment of an apprentice in the kitchen, so he naturally has no right to object.
When Man Chengde saw Jiangbian for the first time, he was also shocked by Jiangbian's age. He did not expect that the master who was blown to the sky by his granddaughter turned out to be just a young man in his twenties.
"How can such a young chef have such good cooking skills? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? Hasn't this girl fallen in love with this little chef? He is tall and handsome, but it's a pity that he is a chef! It didn't matter at first. , but it¡¯s hard to say whether Yimin and Liu Ping can accept it! How can a family of officials tolerate a son-in-law who is a chef?" Man Chengde was thinking a lot.
Manqing did not expect that her grandfather would think so much. She stared at the neat hands on the riverside, cleaning the bass like a sculptor carving a work of art.
A fresh bass was caught very lightly by the riverside. From the bleeding to the removal of scales, the bass didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and the whole process wasn't too bloody. The sharp fish knife is flying in the hand of the river, like a dancing elf. In the blink of an eye, the fish was cleaned and put into a bowl by the riverside.
Since it has not yet reached the peak business period of the fish restaurant, the kitchen seems a little leisurely. The cooking process on the riverside was watched by not only the grandfather and granddaughter of the Man family, but also the chefs and apprentices who were temporarily idle in the kitchen.
The rapid progress of Jiangbian has a huge stimulating effect on these chefs and apprentices. With comparisons and goals, each effort seems to have more direction.
Clean up the bass and wash your hands by the riverside. Then clean the pot, simmer it over medium heat, and pour in an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil. After the rapeseed oil boiled, before smoke came out of the rapeseed oil, Jiangbian immediately put the bass into the pot.
After frying both sides of the seabass to golden brown, Jiangbian added the secret soup. Then put the lid on the pot. Then I cut a small amount of garlic and a small amount of ginger.
After cutting it, Jiangbian put the ginger shreds into the pot.
This made the people in the kitchen a little strange. The pure fish made by the fish restaurant before had never been added with these two seasonings.
"Did you make a mistake?" Manqing asked.
"Huh?" Jiang Bian raised his head and glanced at Man Qing. He knew Man Qing.
¡°I¡¯ve eaten so much fish at your place, but I¡¯ve never tasted garlic flakes and shredded ginger,¡± Manqing said.
"Oh! This time, you will eat it." Jiangbian said seriously.
"Are you ready to change the taste?" Man Chengde asked.
Jiang Bian nodded, "I have done some experiments recently and gained some experience. Ginger and garlic seem simple, but in fact they are the essence of Chinese food. Two very inconspicuous condiments, but they can make the taste of Chinese food ever-changing. , it must have its reason.¡±
"Yes, yes, the young man said it very well. The little ginger, onion, and garlic contain infinite flavor. Everyone is blindly pursuing the secret recipe, but they don't know that there are the simplest and best seasonings around them. If you want to use ginger, onion, and garlic, It's not that simple to use it well and to its fullest advantage. Just because of this little brother, I have a lot of admiration for this dish." Man Chengde said.
¡°You¡¯ll have to eat it to find out.¡± Man Qing was puzzled by Jiangbian¡¯s spirit of creating difficulties and rising to them despite no difficulties.
While Jiang Bian was talking, he began to prepare the second dish while the fish in the pot was not yet cooked. Several yellow tails were quickly cleaned up in Jiang Bian's hands.
Then he opened another pot, boiled the oil in an orderly manner, and put the fish into the pot. When the lid on this side of the pot was closed, white gas just came out from the other side.
Jiangbian opened the lid of the pot and put in the chopped garlic.
The white air carries a strong smell of fish and fills the kitchen.
"Well, this taste is very authentic! Just by smelling it, you can imagine how this fish must taste.Extraordinary. "Man Chengde said.
Man Qing disagreed. This fragrance didn't seem to be much different from the previous ones. Whether it tastes good or not, you won¡¯t know until you eat it.
Putting a pure taste of seabass into a bowl, Jiangbian began to prepare several common seasonings, cutting them very finely.
It seems that Jiangbian is also planning to add some ingredients to Yipin Pure Yellow Tail to complement the secret fish soup.
A few minutes later, two fish dishes were delivered to the table of the granddaughter of the Man family.
Man Chengde was the first to pick up the chopsticks and put them into the bowl.
There were a few people from Yipin Fish Restaurant standing on the side, and Yan Yuan and Jiang Bian were naturally among them. Everyone is looking forward to Man Chengde's evaluation of Jiangbian's latest improved pure fish.
The fish restaurant seemed to suddenly become quiet. Even the customers who had just walked into the fish restaurant stopped and watched with interest.
