Invasion Of Alien Species? That's Not Enough For Us To Eat

"Waiter, bring me the menu and have a look.

Zheng Heqiu found a seat and sat down, beckoning to the waiter.

Wei Feng came across to him, opened the chair and sat down, his nose twitched unconsciously.

"It's very fragrant, the taste of this pickled pepper is very appetizing, and I want to eat when I smell it.~"

"I also smelled several different ingredients that blended well without competing-flavors."

As master chefs, Wei Feng and Zheng Heqiu had ten years of cooking experience before opening the restaurant, so they can perceive far more things than ordinary diners.

Zheng Heqiu didn't answer Wei Feng's words.

He studied the menu carefully and ordered a few dishes.

"Braised shrimp, garlic crayfish, spicy crayfish, have a serving."

"Dried pan tilapia, pan-fried and baked tilapia, also have a portion."

"Pickled pepper bullfrogs, dry pot bullfrogs, have come to be common."

Two people ordered seven dishes.

The waiter asked cautiously: "Two guests, this dish is too much. There are only two of you. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it later..."

Zheng Heqiu waved his hand lightly.

"Don't worry, we'll pack it up if you can't finish it. Go and report the food."

The two of them came here to study, so naturally they want to order as many dishes as possible and study these dishes carefully.

Wei Feng looked at the waiter next to him and nodded.

"The quality of the waiters in this store is good."

He was referring to the fact that the waiter just reminded them that they had ordered too many dishes.

Although the more customers order, the better, but this obviously abnormal number of orders is still worth noting.

It is best to remind the guests to avoid conflicts in the future.

Before the dishes came, they began to observe the situation of Su's shop.

The decoration here is the same as the previous morning tea shop, which is antique and looks very grand.

There were only four tables of guests sitting in the store, and they only had five tables, so the business wasn't too good.

But only four tables were served, but the rich aroma permeated the entire hall, whetting the appetite.

Wei Feng stared at the table where the two travelers, Yang Xu and Liu Ling, frowned.

"The shrimp shells and bullfrog bones were piled so high in front of them."

"These two guests, it's only been 20 minutes since they came in?"

"They can eat so many things in such a short period of time, which shows that the dishes in Su's restaurant taste very good."

Wei Feng observed very carefully.

As a professional chef, he can also see more things.

"Procambarus clarkii obviously needs to be shelled before eating, which is much more troublesome than tilapia."

"But in such a short period of time, they ate so many Procambarus clarkii, which can only show that the spicy crayfish tastes very good.

Zheng Heqiu also observed the other customers in the store.

"I kind of regret it now."

"The owner of Su's small shop is more capable than he imagined, so he should have taken it seriously earlier.

He frowned.

Zheng Heqiu learned from Zhang Guohao, a master of Cantonese cuisine, and has been a state banquet chef for two generations.

He once had the opportunity to stay in the capital Yanjing, become the chef of the state banquet, and take over the position of the teacher.

But in the end he couldn't let go of his hometown, chose to return to Yangcheng, and opened a night snack shop.

Therefore, his cooking skills are very high.

In his cognition, Procambarus clarkii, tilapia, and bullfrog, these three ingredients are not delicious, and the fishy smell is too strong to highlight the original taste of the ingredients.

In a sense, he agrees with Li Yuanyou's point of view.

Steamed crawfish, steamed tilapia, very bad taste.

How can something like this be delicious?

Zheng Heqiu didn't know that Li Yuanyou was deliberately providing negative public opinion after being bought by Wang Donghai.

The marinated shrimp is marinated in advance and can be served directly.

When Zheng Heqiu and Wei Feng were looking at Su's small shop, a portion of marinated shrimp was brought up.

Zheng Heqiu put on disposable gloves, and just about to pick up a shrimp, he looked at the plastic gloves on his hand again.

"His gloves are PVC gloves, not common PE gloves."

Wei Feng didn't know why he brought up the topic of gloves, and asked suspiciously: "What's so important about this?"

Zheng Heqiu narrowed his eyes.

"There are still some things to pay attention to."

"PE gloves are polyethylene gloves. Polyethylene has low density, poor air tightness, and is easy to penetrate in fatty solvents."

"In addition, the solubility coefficient of polyethylene is 16-17, which is very close to the solubility coefficient of cooking oil..."

Zheng Heqiu has a strong professional background, just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw Wei Feng's confused eyes.

He could only sigh and simplify his explanation.

"That is to say, even if the PE plastic gloves are not broken, the oil will still seep through."

"But PVC gloves are different, with higher air density and better oil resistance than ordinary plastic gloves.

"But PVC gloves are a little more expensive than ordinary plastic gloves, and you need to find the purchase channel yourself."

"From the waiter just now to this glove, it shows that the owner of this Su's small shop is willing to invest in the cost. There is something in this Su's small shop.

Zheng Heqiu has changed his mind and become serious.

"I told you earlier that the people who can make such a big commotion are not simple characters."

While talking, Wei Feng grabbed a Procambarus clarkii and looked at it carefully.

"How can this Procambarus clarkii be washed so clean?"

Wei Feng said in surprise.

Zheng Heqiu turned the shrimp over, looked at the clean belly, and shook his head in puzzlement.

Wei Feng observed the marinated shrimp in his hand again.

"The shrimp heads are gone, the shrimp feet are gone, and the shrimp threads have been pulled."

"Is this the solution to the fishy taste of Procambarus clarkii?"

"There is also a cut in the back, which makes it easier to taste."

He asked suspiciously: "Every shrimp does this, the labor cost is not cheap, right? How can you make money?"

"Don't even think about it," Zheng Heqiu peeled out a piece of lobster meat, "Taste the taste before we talk about it."

He stuffed the lobster meat into his mouth, relished the taste of the soup, and started chewing.

He tasted slowly and carefully.

"Can taste cinnamon, cumin, grass fruit."

Wei Feng continued: "I can smell some of Angelica dahurica and Amomum seed."

"There should be cloves, nutmeg, and other things. I can't taste it. But it's not bad from the general marinade."

"It's not that simple," Zheng Heqiu shook his head, "I'm afraid it's braised in broth."

"In addition to the taste of chicken soup, there is also the smell of pork ribs."

"You don't need to use pork ribs to cook the broth. The price is too high. It may be the ribs."

Zheng Heqiu is worthy of being a chef. After tasting the taste of a marinated shrimp, he analyzed the approximate ingredients.

Wei Feng sneered and said, "Old Ghost Zheng, you missed your mark this time."

Zheng Heqiu lowered his brows, did not speak, but picked up another lobster meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's not just as simple as a blind eye.

……… Ask for flowers…

Zheng Heqiu was a little shocked.

From this stewed shrimp, it can be seen that the owner of Su's small shop attaches great importance to cooking.

Use the best seasoning, use the best stock.

Really worth the money!

Just from the ingredients, one can see the excellent cooking skills of Boss Su.

Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that stewed food only needs to add more spices.

However, the tastes of many spices conflict with each other, and putting them together will have the opposite effect.

Even each ingredient has its own original fragrance. If you put it randomly, it will destroy the original fragrance.

For example, fried pork with chili is already fragrant, but if you add fried eggs, the fragrance will be even better.

If you add sautéed minced garlic, it will add another layer of fragrance, which is even better with rice.

Chilli, pork belly, fried egg, minced garlic.

The flavors of these ingredients complement each other.

But ingredients such as sesame oil are also seasonings that enhance the flavor. When placed in the dish of fried pork with chili, the aroma of sesame seeds will conflict with the fragrance of chili.

On the contrary, it will weaken the fragrance and appear greasy.

In addition to the well-matched spices, the processing of the ingredients is also quite in place.

I don't know how to deal with this stewed shrimp, not only tastes good, but also has a good texture.

The shrimp meat is smooth and tender, but it is very springy, the meat is firm and not loose, and it is full of soup.

A variety of flavors are perfectly blended together.

Zheng Heqiu was shocked.

While he was savoring the marinated shrimp and trying to decipher how it was made, the waiter brought a bullfrog with pickled peppers.

"Tsk, is this pickled pepper fried? The aroma is completely stimulated."

"The red oil of the bean paste is also fried, and the aroma is very strong."

"The most important thing is that pickled peppers and bean paste are both very flavorful ingredients, and they can't cover up the aroma of the bullfrog itself. There is one hand, and another hand."

Wei Feng said a few words in admiration, stretched out his chopsticks, and put a bullfrog leg into his mouth.

"Hiss, it's so spicy~.

As a native of Yangcheng, he is not used to such spicy food.

"However, the fragrance is very strong! The meat is very tender! So refreshing!"

Wei Feng tasted the pickled pepper bullfrog carefully, his eyes slowly opened wide.

"This thing is actually so delicious?"

"How on earth did you do it?"

He was shocked.

For a moment, Wei Feng felt that all the cooking skills he had learned over the years were wasted.

He looked up at Zheng Heqiu who was opposite, and said, "I feel like you didn't just miss it this time."

"You've overturned the cart."

Zheng Heqiu has already tasted a piece of pickled pepper bullfrog.

He stared blankly at the attractive plate of bullfrogs and was completely taken aback.

Yet another completely different combination of ingredients!

Pickled pepper and bean paste, the two heavy seasonings, not only did not cover the umami taste of the bullfrog itself, but even more highlighted the umami taste of the frog meat!

so strong!

He stopped talking, just picked up the meat one chopstick after another.

In Su's small shop, which can accommodate nearly a hundred people, there are only five tables of guests, a total of fourteen guests.

But the fourteen of them had the momentum of a hundred people.

The sound of chewing was continuous.

"Waiter, is there any room?"

Outside the door, a beautiful figure walked in.

Wearing a long dress and a mask, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face.

Er Ke is here.

She is holding a stabilizer in her hand and is broadcasting live!

"Brothers, have I come to visit the shop?"
