    There is a story circulating in Qiantang. A Japanese cooking exchange group came to Qiantang. After watching the cooking show of a chef from Qiantang, the master chef who accompanied the group thought that the cooking method of Qiantang's famous dishes is extremely simple. A dish can be cooked in a few minutes, and the seasonings are also very convenient.  It’s also extremely simple, with only oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar.  〾:〾Sui〾meng〾小〾说〾网〾

    So the master chef also used the same ingredients and seasonings to make a dish according to the script, but the taste was very different.  Let the proud and arrogant Japanese lose face.

    Jiang Bian is preparing to cook Qiantang famous dishes in the cooking competition. One of the biggest obstacles is that Jiang Bian has never tasted the most authentic Qiantang famous dishes and has no idea what the authentic Qiantang famous dishes taste like.  Although Liu Jiedong is also a good chef, he cannot cook authentic Qiantang famous dishes.

    “Brother Yan, where can I eat authentic Qiantang famous dishes?” Jiangbian asked as soon as he entered the fish restaurant.

    "Yes! Of course there is! But only a few places have it. Most of the others are not authentic. Many responsible cooking techniques are simply omitted. They look similar, but in fact the flavor is very different. I know  There is a place where you can definitely eat authentic Qiantang famous dishes. Tianxianglou! You can definitely eat authentic Qiantang famous dishes there." Yan Yuan replied.

    “Then let’s go have a meal!” Jiang Bian said.

    "Is it a little late to go now? You have to participate in the competition tomorrow!" Yan Yuan asked.

    "Not too late, not too late! I have basically understood the cooking process, which is to determine what the authentic taste is like. Besides, no matter where it is, you can't say that yours is the authentic taste of Qiantang's famous dishes, right?  " Jiangbian said.

    "Okay, we'll go there right away. Don't even think about finding a seat when it's time to eat at that place. Private rooms must be reserved in advance. But we can just find a seat casually!" Yan Yuan said.

    Tianxiang Tower was founded by Lu Lengnian in the autumn of 1927. It was originally named Wulin Tianxiang Tower. It was named after the famous line by Song Zhiwen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, "The osmanthus falls in the middle of the moon, and the fragrance of the sky floats outside."  At that time, among the people in Hangzhou, there were sayings such as "Tianxiang Tower in the city, tower outside the city", "If you want to eat, go to Tianxiang Tower; if you want to visit the West Lake, go to the Sixth Pier", etc. Its outstanding reputation is evident.

    Tianxiang Tower is not very far from Yipin Fish Restaurant. It didn’t take long for the two of them to get to Tianxiang Tower.  Tianxiang Building is decorated in an antique style, and compared with Yipin Fish Restaurant, it looks like a street stall.

    "Look at the decoration and the pomp! Tsk tsk! Compared with our fish restaurant, it's like the sky is on the ground." Yan Yuan said to the river.

    "We are different from them! We are following the mass line. If we decorated like this, would customers still dare to come?" Jiang Bian said with a smile.

    "As long as the price remains unchanged, I will definitely come to the door. But if the price does not rise, do I have to decorate like this?" Yan Yuan scratched his head.

    The waiter from Tianxiang Tower came over and said, "Sir, how many of you are there in total?"

    Yan Yuan said, "Both of you. Steamed anchovies and West Lake vinegar fish, those are the two dishes!"

    Without even looking at the menu, Yan Yuan ordered two signature dishes.

    "Do you want to order any other dishes? Also, do you need any drinks?" the waiter asked again.

    Yan Yuan shook his head, "Just these two dishes, um, some rice."

    Since it was not the peak passenger flow period yet, there were not many customers in Tianxiang Tower, so it didn’t take long for the two dishes ordered by Yan Yuan to be served.

    After the food arrived, the two of them did not move their chopsticks. After the waiter walked away, Jiangbian began to taste the food.

    After studying with Liu Jiedong for a while, Jiang Bian also has a little understanding of another skill that chefs need to master, which is food tasting.  Tasting food is not a simple task. It is not an easy task to taste the color, fragrance and flavor of a dish.  But for Jiangbian, there is no need to be so professional.

    However, in order to fully grasp the authentic flavor of these two famous Qiantang dishes, Jiangbian still strictly follows the basic steps of tasting the dishes.

    Jiangbian first rinsed his mouth with cold water, then picked up a small piece of fish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and slowly savored the taste of the fish.  Steamed anchovy is a soup dish, and Jiangbian even took a small sip of the soup with a spoon to taste the taste carefully.  Jiangbian takes every step very carefully. Every time he takes a bite, he must wash it off first. He must not choke on the food he has tasted and then spit it into a small plate.

    Yan Yuan never moved his chopsticks, watching the river carefully and tasting these two dishes.?A famous dish in Qiantang.  The Jiangbian at this time has changed a lot from the Jiangbian Yan Yuan met a few months ago.  Although the local accent is still relatively strong, it no longer affects communication and I am more sophisticated in my work.

    As soon as Jiangbian put down his chopsticks, he immediately asked, "How is it, Jiangbian? How does it taste?"

    "Try it yourself! Wait a minute, let's talk about our opinions together and see if it's the same!" Jiangbian said.

    Yan Yuan took a piece of fish meat from the steamed anchovies and put it into his mouth. He chewed it for a few times and choked it into his stomach. Then he immediately took a piece of fish meat from the West Lake vinegar fish, and again  I ate it in big gulps.

    Then Yan Yuan put down his chopsticks and said, "This fish doesn't taste as good as the fish in our fish restaurant! But that's it! Our fish restaurant can also make famous Qiantang dishes, which can also be said to be authentic Qiantang famous dishes."  Dishes. As long as they taste authentic, who can deny that our famous Qiantang dishes are not authentic?"

    In fact, even though Yan Yuan said this, he still likes the taste, but since he is a caterer, he can't let others' ambitions grow and destroy his own prestige.

    Hearing what Yan Yuan said, Jiangbian's eyes lit up: That's right!  Who can say that what they make must be authentic?  As long as the taste beats others, no one can deny it.  There is no need to care about the taste of Qiantang's famous dishes.  Qiantang's famous dishes cannot have a fixed taste, because different chefs, different cooking methods, and different ingredients will ultimately affect the taste of the dishes.  As long as you make unique dishes, you will be recognized by people.

    "Let's go!" Jiangbian said.

    Yan Yuan was about to eat the food. When he heard what Jiang Bian said, he almost dropped the bowl on the ground, "What? I haven't eaten it yet! The signature dishes here are so expensive! It would be a pity not to eat them. Otherwise we will eat them."  Go back again?"

    "Let's go. I'll just cook it for you when I get back. Anyway, this trip is not in vain. I finally understand a truth." Jiang Bian said.

    "How about I pack these two dishes back. It's a pity that I didn't eat any of them!" Yan Yuan looked at the two dishes with some reluctance.  Although to Yan Yuan, the price of these two dishes was nothing, it was always a pity that the money was spent and nothing was touched.

    Jiangbian looked at the two dishes and had no idea of ??eating them, "Whatever you want!"

    Hearing what Jiang Bian said, Yan Yuan glanced at the two untouched dishes and said with a smile, "Forget it, let's have a little luxury this time. But when we go back, you have to make a few servings for us."  The fish restaurant’s version of authentic Qiantang famous dishes is out.”

    Two people came in a hurry, ordered two dishes, but didn't taste them, and left in a hurry, making the waiter very nervous, fearing that these two people were going to eat the Overlord meal, they followed them all the way until the service.  When I saw the two people paying the bill, I was relieved. I had found the security office's phone number on my phone and it was not broadcast.

    Jiang Bian and Yan Yuan didn't notice the closely watching waiter at all. After leaving Tianxiang Building, they got into Yan Yuan's car and immediately ran to the fish restaurant.  @ya
