Chapter 2699: Chapter 243 steamed bait thread
Translator: 549690339
As soon as master Qin finished speaking, the customers who were listening at the side immediately understood. Give me some anchovy and delicious food. I don’t care about anything else, just give me a serving.
Therefore, with master Qin taking the lead, those who had never heard of the name of the dish all decided to order and try the dish that had been misunderstood by others as not being able to cook by Yuan Zhou. They wanted to see exactly what kind of deliciousness it was that made people feel that Yuan Zhou couldn’t cook it.
Those who had heard of it or had eaten it in Lai Feng also wanted to try it and see how delicious it was.
There were many people who came to eat anchovy today. There were ten people in the first line, and that was not including the people in the second line who were listening at the door.
Even master GE wanted to try it, not to mention the others. He knew that since master Qin had ordered one, he would definitely be able to try it, so he did not make any unnecessary moves.
Master Qin didn’t think too much about it, or perhaps he didn’t expect that his small action would cause such a big reaction. There was no other way. Anything related to Yuan Zhou, no matter big or small, would always attract people’s attention.
He was already thinking about whether he should take it away or ask master GE to help him eat. However, master GE’s next action dispelled his idea.
“I’d like a serving of Gaoli groandée, a serving of pork liver, a large slice, a serving of steamed fish strips, and a bowl of Eight Treasures tribute rice.”
Master Qin had a good point, so master GE couldn’t wait to start. He listed a few dishes at once, which stunned master Qin.
He subconsciously looked at master GE’s stomach and didn’t realize that his stomach looked different from ordinary people ‘s. Why did he order so many dishes?
At first, he had wanted to ask for his help, but now it seemed that it would be good if he didn’t ask for his help. For a moment, even master Qin didn’t know what to say.
...
After su Ruoyan memorized the menu and took her leave, master Qin quickly asked,””Old GE, you’ve already prepared the supper?”
He thought that since master GE ordered so much, he would definitely order some takeaway later. Otherwise, four dishes and rice would be difficult for master Qin to finish even when he was young. After all, when he was young, he did physical work such as kneading mud, preparing embryos, and so on. All of these required strength, so he naturally ate a lot, but it didn’t seem to be this much.
Now that master GE was about the same age as him, he naturally wouldn’t be able to eat it.
“Of course not. We’ll eat here. You have to have a good dinner, okay?” Master GE said proudly.
It was as if he had found out about some secret martial arts manual. His expression was even more smug than before. Master Qin was dumbfounded.
Why did it feel like master GE was so different from the last time they met at the exchange meet? was it really because he was old? That’s why I occasionally get a stroke!
Master Qin felt that he should be considerate. Therefore, one of them was pleased to know how delicious Yuan Zhou’s dishes were in advance and just waited to see him make a fool of himself, while the other thought that Yuan Zhou was stupid and thus was more tolerant. Although they were not on the same line, they still seemed to be quite harmonious.
Until the first dish was served, the friendly atmosphere between the two was broken.
Anyone who had a little knowledge of Yunnan cuisine would know and eat this dish, but this was the first time master GE had eaten it in the restaurant.
As a veritable big thin slice, even though many people had already eaten it, they were still stunned by master Qin and master GE’s first meeting. It was because of their excellent cutting skills.
It was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and each piece was about three fingers wide. It had clear veins, beautiful colors, and unique patterns. The specially made pig’s head was already very eye-catching when cut into such a shape. When it was matched with the sour, spicy, and numbing spices, it was even more powerful.
Master Qin, who originally didn’t feel the need to pay attention to the other party’s order, couldn’t help but stare at it.
Not only did he stare at it, but his hands also began to move. He couldn’t help but pick up his chopsticks, pick up a piece, dip it in the delicious-looking sauce, and put it in his mouth.
The sour, spicy, salty, and fragrant taste instantly hit the taste buds. The meat that had originally melted in the mouth had many meridians distributed, adding a crisp and tough chewy texture, making the whole piece of meat appear crisp and tender, and chewy when chewed.
It was both delicious and entertaining. No matter how he ate it, it was delicious. By this time, Grandmaster Qin had already eaten the third piece. He couldn’t control his hands at all. It was such an appetizing and delicious thing. If he didn’t eat it, it would be a waste of G.o.d’s gift.
Master GE took the time to glare at him a few times, but he didn’t notice. He was immersed in the delicious food and was afraid that he would eat less if he was distracted.
When the whole plate and the sauce bowl were empty, master Qin finally came back to his senses.
“Master Yuan’s dish is simply too delicious. This is what a cold dish should be like. It’s fine. You can eat as much as you want when my fish is served.”
Master Qin felt a little embarra.s.sed, but he believed that the pot should belong to Yuan Zhou. Who asked him to cook so well and eat so much? therefore, he didn’t feel embarra.s.sed at all. However, he didn’t want to be too rude to master GE, whose face had already turned black. Therefore, he generously planned to share the dishes that were still on the way or on the chopping board in the pot.
Having no idea that a wok would fall from the sky, Yuan Zhou still cooked seriously and diligently. Even though he was observant and alert, it didn’t hinder his hand movements. He raised his hand and cut the kitchen knife cleanly with a unique rhythm. He directly looked at some of the head chefs among the silly foodies.
Perhaps it was because master Qin was really popular today, the next dish was steamed fish strips, which was ordered by master GE.
As a famous ingredient in Yunnan cuisine, it could be made in a variety of ways, and steaming the bait was just one of the most popular ways.
The special soy sauce and meat sauce, together with other fresh vegetables and all kinds of sauces, the fragrance was very different from the silent large slices, and it was particularly Grand.
“This is definitely delicious.” Grandmaster Qin said.
Master GE didn’t say anything. He had already picked up his chopsticks. The reason why he didn’t look so good just now wasn’t because master Qin had s.n.a.t.c.hed his dish, but because he had failed to do so. This was something he couldn’t bear. Therefore, he made preparations in advance this time. He felt that he must have been too careless just now. It was impossible for him to lose to master Qin who knew nothing about Yuan Zhou’s dishes even though he clearly knew that Yuan Zhou’s dishes were delicious. This was simply illogical.
As soon as su Ruoyan put down the steamed bait, master GE reached out his chopsticks at lightning speed and picked up a piece of bait and put it into his mouth. The thin bait was wrapped with meat sauce, and the dark soy sauce dyed the originally white bait into a different color, as if he had changed his clothes.
However, no matter how he changed it, he couldn’t change the intrinsic soft, sticky, and sweet texture of the fish bait. After being rendered by the heavy soy sauce, the fragrant and sticky texture of the fish bait became even more prominent. The meat sauce with its bountiful gravy was also a ruthless character. The tender, juicy texture attracted people’s attention as soon as it was served.
The meat sauce, which had been seasoned by spices, fully highlighted its rich taste. Coupled with the unique spicy taste of the red-skinned garlic, the flavor was even better.
The delicious taste of the shredded bait stimulated master GE’s strength. He moved his chopsticks faster and faster, almost as if the first chopstick had just reached his mouth, and the next one was already near his mouth. Probably only a tornado had such speed.
