Chapter 2543: The new realm of Shanghai cuisine

Translator: 549690339 

It was said that Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills were good. Yang Wei definitely knew about it and he knew it in detail. However, knowing about it and seeing it and experiencing it personally were two completely different concepts.

Especially when he saw that Yuan Zhou was able to modify the cooking knife and finish cooking the bran and shiitake mushrooms in the blink of an eye, Yang Wei felt that what he usually cooked was probably a fake dish. Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with the ingredients and the process, yet completely unable to recognize them, as if he had cast a magic spell on them?

“It must be because I’m old and my eyesight is bad.” Yang Wei restrained the urge to rub his eyes.

Not long after, the dishes that he had been looking at were served. He felt a little complicated.

Shanghai cuisine has a saying,”you can try all the dishes with pepper, and all the restaurants and dishes are in Hangzhou.” Heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable. , Especially the dishes that used to be thick with oil and red sauce. Now, some dishes also seemed to be lighter, and four happiness roasted bran was one of them.

Of course, because the bran ate oil, it wasn’t very light, but it gave off a refreshing feeling. Although the four blessings ‘bran dish was dark in color, it was really nice.

There was the sponge-like bloodied bran, the smooth-looking black fungus, the fresh daylilies, and the beautifully cut winter bamboo shoots. The fragrance of the food filled the air, making people want to pour all the ingredients into their mouths to try it.

In any case, this was Yang Wei’s first feeling when he saw the dish, si Xi’s roasted bran. It was impossible for it to fall down, so he had to taste it carefully. He picked up a piece of winter bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth. With a gentle bite, the crisp and tender winter bamboo shoot was bitten off. The fresh and tender taste was mixed with the taste of the roasted bran and shiitake mushroom, and there was a rich juice inside, which was simply delicious.

It didn’t have the astringent taste of ordinary winter bamboo shoots at all, and it was smooth and tender. The black fungus was different from the texture of winter bamboo shoots, it was more crisp and tough, because it was not easy for the black fungus to enter the taste, and the general stir-fry would appear a little bland, but this piece of black fungus that entered his mouth completely subverted Yang Wei’s understanding.

It was light and pleasant, without any heavy ink or color, but it was just so suitable, just right to highlight the taste of the wood ear, a Mountain Treasure, fresh and crisp.

If the winter bamboo shoots and black fungus could be said to be a beauty with light makeup, then the bran and shiitake mushrooms would be exquisitely carved beauties. With a bite, the rich sauce rushed out. The soft and sticky texture, coupled with the strong sauce, was a completely different feeling from before.

“Oh, it’s delicious. No matter if it’s light or strong, it’s just right. It won’t be too obvious, nor will it make either side seem weaker. They reflect each other well. It seems like there’s still a lot to learn from this dish of mine.” Yang Wei was very emotional.

He couldn’t help sighing with emotion. He knew that Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills were very good and that the dishes he cooked were also very delicious. When there was no comparison, even if he was a professional chef, he was actually not much different from ordinary diners except for analyzing the ingredients, taste, and cutting skills. However, once there was a clear comparison, he would know that the gap was not that big. He had really overestimated himself.

“It’s indeed very delicious. It’s the best I’ve ever had. It’s much better than what you’ve cooked, master yang. ” Gu Xun’s mouth was stuffed with a yellow flower, but it didn’t stop him from speaking.

He was a straightforward person who was dedicated to studying cooking skills. He didn’t feel that what he said would embarrass others. The person who said it didn’t care, and naturally, the person who heard it didn’t care either. It was already a lucky thing for him to be able to compete with Yuan Zhou. It was a high affirmation of Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills. As for the other things, he didn’t even want a bicycle.

The four happiness’s bran looked like it had a lot of ingredients and filled a plate, but it was actually just like that. The two of them ate it one by one and it was finished in a short while.

Of course, Yang Wei didn’t ask Gu Xun to eat, but Gu Xun ate it on his own accord. It would be a shame if he didn’t eat such delicious food.

When his chrysanthemum and eggplant were served, Gu Xun automatically placed the dish between the two of them. Since there were only two of them, they did not have to share the food with each other like when there were three people.

“Wow, this is so exquisite and beautiful. I would believe head chef Yuan if he said that his cutting skills are the best in the world.”

Even though Gu Xun had seen Yuan Zhou cook it with his own eyes, he still felt like he was in a dream when he brought it to his eyes.

On the large snow-white plate, there were many chrysanthemums with silk drooping down. They had petals like Persian chrysanthemums, and the pistil in the middle moved. Together with the lifelike petals on the outside, it was as if one could smell the intoxicating chrysanthemum fragrance with a gust of wind.

Not to mention Gu Xun, even Yang Wei himself had never seen this dish before. Chrysanthemum and eggplant was actually a simple dish. Not only was the cooking method simple, the ingredients were also simple. It could even be considered as a home-cooked dish. However, when such a simple dish was served in Yuan Zhou’s hands, he realized that home-cooked dishes were also divided into different levels.

Ordinary dishes could be called home-cooked dishes, but this plate was so beautiful and beautiful that it made people reluctant to eat it. Wouldn’t his conscience hurt?

Yang Wei didn’t know whether or not other people’s hearts hurt, but he couldn’t bear to call out like this, for fear of being beaten.

The slightly transparent orange flower core and the Golden petals exuded an alluring fragrance. Gu Xun immediately picked up a chrysanthemum and put it to his mouth. He took a gentle bite, afraid that he would damage other parts.

It was very crispy. The key was that the outside was crispy, but the core inside was soft and tender. There was not much juice, but it could neutralize the dryness of the fried outer coat and become one with it, making it very delicious.

When he ate the pistil, it looked glossy and glossy because it was watered with gorse juice. It tasted very moist, as if it was really the pistil of a flower. The taste was completely different.

In short, there was only one word for it-delicious!

With the distribution method of the four happiness toast, the chrysanthemum and eggplant were naturally eaten the same way. It was quite harmonious.

The dishes ordered by Yang Wei also required a lot of effort. Even the four happiness’s roasted bran was served at the fastest speed because he had prepared a lot of it in advance. Of course, Yuan Zhou’s cooking speed was also fast. Even though it took a long time, it was still much faster in Yuan Zhou’s hands than others.

After the chrysanthemum and eggplant were finished, the fried pork chop was served. As a representative dish of Western Shanghai cuisine, this dish was now available not only in Western restaurants, but also in some ordinary Shanghai restaurants as a signature dish. It could be said to be a very representative Shanghai cuisine.

Yang Wei was famous for his fried pork chops in the Shanghai circle. His fried pork chops were golden and crisp, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They were also not greasy and were loved by the people in Shanghai. He was also given a funny nickname,’pork chop yang’. Almost anyone who wanted to eat high-end and delicious fried pork chops would definitely choose Yang Wei’s restaurant.

Yang Wei was still very confident about the fried pork chop. Even if the four blessings’s roasted bran had already shocked him, compared to this fried pork chop, the gap was really more obvious.

In fact, frying pork chops was very simple. It sounded like marinating the pork chops first, then frying them in a pan, but it was not so simple to do it. Otherwise, there were so many chefs who knew how to fry pork chops, how could Yang Wei be the one to take the lead in the transaction? was it because of his age?
