Day 195 Cooking food (1)
On December 24th, Yuanting Cuisine finally reopened to attract customers. The generals of Qingshang were naturally the first group of visitors. Bao Chao led dozens of people to the door of Yuanting. This time the situation was very different. The snow had been cleaned up. There was a red carpet at the entrance of the restaurant leading to the mountain road. Seeing this, everyone was not able to gallop. They got off the horse from afar and hiked up the mountain. Hanako took the girl's junior high school and Kabuki in the store and his two sisters to welcome customers outside the store in kimonos, "I want to give a hard time."
Lu Bingli walked in front and stopped in one step, "Yeah, is this sister-in-law?" This sentence made everyone laugh.
Bao Chao blushed and went forward to hold Huazi's arm, "Since I know it's my sister-in-law, I'll be polite to me! If anyone makes your sister-in-law unhappy, don't be merciless."
Hanako couldn't understand what they were saying, and guessed that he was making fun of himself. He held Bao Chao in public and felt even more shy. He struggled hard, "Don't move!" After he scolded him, he was so scared that he couldn't resist anymore. He blushed with his cheeks and let him hold his waist. "Lao Qing, you are your territory here, what should I do next?"
"Military Gate, please come inside, my sister-in-law is ready."
"Let's go in and take a look."
When he entered the store, the sixteen rooms had already prepared wines and food such as authentic chrysanthemum and sushi. The Japanese woman dressed in a beautiful manner bent down again and said welcome words, "I want to give you a lot of money."
Bao Chao and the others were like Liu Laolao who had entered the Grand View Garden. Facing the delicious food in the hall, they didn't know how to start. In fact, if they didn't even understand how to sit down, they didn't even understand how to sit down. Thirty or fifty people were stunned for a moment. Hanako and Sakurako and the sisters of Shiroko exchanged glances, both of which were both funny and disgusted. They were inevitably filled with regrets of secretly throwing these dishes passed down from their own country.
But others don’t understand. Qing'an understood. He smiled and waved his hand, "Military, please come with Beizhi." At the growing table, there was a Japanese man holding a knife in his hand, wearing a white and neat chef's uniform and bowing, "Sir, this is called tuna. It is the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine. It is very good and should be tasted for the first time, but the reason is extremely complicated. The military affairs of adults are busy, so there is no need to explain them in detail one by one." After that, he nodded to the chef and said something in Japanese.
The chef obviously had a skilled hand, and his hands were very fast. He cut off a piece of Guizhou black part and handed it over. The two of them took it by hand and put it in their mouths and chewed it heavily. Bao Chao felt a chill from his tongue, which was actually a scent that was unheard of. He blurted out a vaguely, "Okay!" He turned around and smiled at Hanako, and gave a thumbs up.
Hanako nodded, smiling at the corner of her mouth, but no matter how she looked, she had a sarcastic expression.
Qing'an swallowed the food and said, "gari."
Even Hanako was stunned. Over the past few days, although Qing'an had everything in Yuanting, he didn't speak easily. His duty was to serve as a translator for both Chinese and Japanese and never expressed any opinions. In Hanako's opinion, this person was just like Bao Chao and others. He was just a Chinese who could speak Japanese. He didn't understand his own food and cuisine at all, and he was also a fool. But this sentence "geri revealed his secret.
It turns out that tuna is the most common fish-salt. But the Guizhou black cut by the chef is a secondary part. This is not intentional for the chef - the person who cuts the fish-salt before the challenge. The life and death of the guests are all in his hands. There are no certain rules for settlement of accounts. It is almost entirely based on his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. Usually, at the time of checkout, his chef's sharp knife cuts a few times on the chopping board and calls out exaggerated numbers. If you don't like it, it will become astronomical numbers.
This time, these Chinese people naturally dare not ask for a price, but it is inevitable to do something bad in secret. Moreover, the Chinese people do not understand the rules of cooking at all. In his opinion, they are simply natural fat sheep, and they can do whatever they want! However, if there is one more Qing'an, he deserves to be ugly.
Gari is in Japanese, and the pronunciation of "ginger" in sushi. This is to use sweet and sour ginger slices to rinse your mouth. In Japanese, the pronunciation of ginger is "shiyoga," and when using various dishes, you must not make this pronunciation, because it will make the other party look down on you.
Listening to Qing'an's words, he noticed the people in the door. This time, Hanako didn't dare to underestimate him. He nodded to the chef and gave a wink. The latter understood it and said a few words in Japanese, "Military, the Japanese are deliberately trying to make things difficult for us!" Qing'an said with a smile.
"Oh?" Bao Chao and his colleagues around him were all attracted by Japanese cuisine that they had never tasted before. He knew nothing about the Japanese tricks. At the moment, he could only rely on Qing'an's guidance. "How do you say this?"
"Here you." Qing'an looked at the plate of abalone brought to him with care. "This is called abalone. Although it is genuine in the sea, its taste is actually a little hard. The best part is its intestine, called wata. It just looks green and few people dare to eat it raw."
After saying that, he picked up a piece, opened his mouth and put it in, "Sir, you can try it too, it's so delicious!"
Bao Chao looked down and saw the green ball, which was extremely disgusting. "I said, Lao Qing, is this... possible?"
Qing'an's eyes swept across everyone's faces and laughed, "This thing tastes good, but it looks ugly. It's nothing if you don't want to eat it. Let's try something else."
Although the dietary path is related to face, everyone is completely confused about the secret. At present, he is the only one who can rely on. Therefore, those who do not take Qing'an seriously on weekdays can't help but use respectful words, "Mr. Qing, I heard that most Japanese food is eaten raw, right?"
"It may not be all raw." Qing'an smiled and shook his head, saying a few words to the chef. The latter nodded respectfully, "Ha!" He took a salmon from under the table, cut off a piece of meat from the fish belly with a knife, placed a small pan on the stove on the other side, put the fish belly meat on the stove, but did not add oil. He fryed it for a while, then left the pot, put it on a plate, and served it.
While watching his movements, Qing'an explained to everyone, "This is what Xiaguan just told Lord Lu. The Japanese don't eat all raw food, just like this, right? This ingredient is called salmon, and the part of it is called belly tendons. In Japanese, uarashu is the fattest piece on the fish - am I talking about it?" The next half sentence is what the chef said in Japanese.
Everyone couldn't understand Japanese, but they could tell the truth by just looking at the chef's repeated nodding. He only heard him say, "This kind of thing is also a very high-end enjoyment in Japan; fry it in a pot without adding oil, because it is already very fat. Once heated, the oil will flow out naturally. Half of it is paste and half of it is meat. One of the delicious foods in the world - please try it?"
Bao Chao was the first to do it, and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It turned out to be a bit fragrant and full of taste.
"Actually," Qing'an smiled bitterly and said to everyone, "There are no salmon in the best Japanese shops, and they are all things to deceive foreigners."
"So, what's really good?"
"A more advanced catfish..." Qing'an looked at Wang Yu's face and couldn't help but smile, "The way this fish is written is the same as Chinese characters, but the pronunciation is different, and it is not the same fish at all. In China, this refers to a small fish of loach. In Japan, because it is as thin as cucumber, its whole body is shiny and the meat tastes very fragrant, it is also called a fragrant fish, but it is not eaten at the moment. Because this fish is born in clean streams and the water is dirty, it will die, so it should be roasted immediately after fishing. The meat is extremely sweet, but the more beautiful one is the internal organs, which have a little bitter taste. After eating, it feels sweet and addictive!
Bao Chao and others were curious and thought it was fresh, so they couldn't help but urge him to talk more; Qing'an was indeed in his belly and continued to talk, "There is also the snapper, which is called (sound spicy) fish in Guangdong and Guangxi. Hong is the most popular among the Japanese because of the good intentions?"
“What…good?”
"That's right, people in Guangdong and Guangxi pay attention to their intentions. Simply put, they want to get a good start. The pronunciation of red fish is omeretai. This word is somewhat similar to the pronunciation of celebration in Japanese, so the Japanese think it will bring them good luck. When the fifth master visited Japan, it was said that he was also used in Yuanting."
"There is another whale. This fish is the largest in the sea. It can be thirty-fifty tons in size. It is not easy to salvage. It is precious because it is rare, so it became famous all over the world. Unfortunately, it was only heard of this fish and has never tasted it."
"Oh, I have heard that after returning to China with my colleagues who visited Japan with the prince, he said that he had seen big crabs in Tokyo, so big! They were as big as washbasins. Is this considered good?"
"That's called eagle-foot crab. If you straighten the crab legs, it's nine feet long and stand taller than a person. However, the meat tastes average, nothing is particularly delicious, it's just a big one." Qing'an explained, "If you talk about the deliciousness of Japanese crabs, the first thing you want is pine leaf crabs. You can eat them raw. Cut the crab legs and soak them in ice water. They look like pine leaves, so they get the name."
Cai Gengyang was stunned on the side, picked up a piece of sushi and dipped it in soy sauce and mustard a few times, put it in his mouth and started eating it in big mouthfuls, "Why do Japanese people eat everything raw?"
Qing'an couldn't help looking back and sighed, knowing that he was not paying attention, the Japanese chef was playing tricks on his colleague again, "Mr. Cai, can you still eat?"
"You can eat it, you can eat it! You can eat it if you have another few."
Qing'an nodded and walked to him, "This way of eating is wrong, I'll teach you." After saying that, he said a few words to the chef in Japanese. The latter knew that he was an expert and dared not refute it. He brought a plate of soy sauce and mustard again and placed it on the table.
Qing'an put a small pinch of mustard on the fish, then immersed the fish in soy sauce. The soy sauce in the dish was still clear and cute, and handed it to Cai Gengyang, "Isn't this the same?"
Qing'an sighed in his heart. When he met such a person who was not ventilated, his pretentiousness was really in vain! "Eat slowly and you can taste the difference."
Cai Gengyang opened his mouth wide, stuffed a small piece of sushi in, and swallowed it a few times, "Isn't that different?"
Chapter completed!
