2284 A comfortable environment
of course, wei wei didn’t need to think about it anymore. the moment they finished their osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, a new dish was served.
this was zuozuo’s raw fish. if there was anything good about raw fish, shunde would be the best place to eat fish. it was said that the food was in yangcheng, and the taste was in shunde. it was not an exaggeration.
in summary, shunde fish was very famous. zuozuo especially liked this dish. of course, she didn’t like Japan raw fish slices. she felt that the two dishes were similar but different in spirit. they were completely different.
as a product of chinese traditional food culture, the containers used to store fish were very particular. they were either placed on painted plates or ship-shaped containers. one had to admire the wisdom of the ancient people. they were all based on color, fragrance, and shape. later on, shape and shape were added in modern times, but in fact, in ancient times, they were already very careful about the containers.
yuan zhou was using the lacquered plate. the entire round plate was dark red in color. occasionally, there were dark edges and some floating cloud patterns, making the entire plate slightly dull. however, it was different when the raw fish was placed on it.
the crystal clear, jade-white fish was arranged in the shape of flower petals, and in the middle were several spices.
with the snow-white fish meat serving as a foil, the originally dark-colored plate immediately became lively and fragrant, adding a more gorgeous color to the fish meat.
for traditional sashimi, having more than a dozen types of seasonings was considered rare. master chef restaurant only chose the more classic five types of seasonings, namely shredded onion, shredded pepper, shredded taro, shredded pickled mustard, and fried vermicelli. they were neatly arranged in the middle of the flower, making it look like a colorful stamen.
“this is too exquisite.” zuozuo didn’t have the heart to eat it anymore because it was too beautiful.
it was like a snow lotus blooming on the top of a snowy mountain. it was pure and beautiful, and people didn’t dare to profane it, especially those that had been frozen in the freezer for a few minutes. when they were taken out, they emitted some white smoke, which added a lot of color to the dish.
wei wei didn’t have this concern. she was used to the exquisite food in the restaurant. if she couldn’t bear to eat it because of its exquisite design, she would starve to death.
“why don’t i eat it first and ruin the overall look? then you won’t have such concerns anymore.” wei wei looked as if she was the one who would enter hell.
without waiting for zuozuo’s reaction, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of snow-white fish meat. only then did wei wei understand why they had used such a dark-colored plate. they were afraid that if the color faded, they would really not be able to find the fish meat, because it was really too thin.
he had clearly seen that he had picked up a piece of fish just now, but after it left the plate, if he didn’t look carefully, he really wouldn’t have seen it. the thinness of the fish was obvious.
to be able to cut a fish into a thickness of 0.5 mm, it was as thin as a cicada’s wings. it was extremely beautiful and the skill level was at the master level.
however, yuan zhou’s cutting skills couldn’t be generalized. he had already reached the limit of 0.3mm, which was the extent where it would definitely break if it was any thinner. it was really normal for it to disappear after being picked up.
He placed the chopsticks into his mouth based on his feelings. The temperature and the coldness in his mouth met, and an extremely fresh and sweet taste spread in his mouth. Because the fish meat was really thin, it also melted under the effect of the temperature. Even without dipping it in any seasoning, it still tasted quite fresh and sweet. The mouth was full of fragrance, leaving an endless aftertaste.
The three flavors of freshness, sweetness, and tenderness were reflected to the extreme in this dish. After eating one piece, Wei Wei immediately picked up a second piece and began eating. This time, she put in a few pieces of preserved vegetables and rolled them up to eat.
From the moment Wei Wei offered to help to the moment she ate a piece, only a minute had passed. Zuozuo could only watch as the beautiful and colorful flower that had bloomed just now directly withered.
Then, Zuozuo realized that if she waited any longer, there would be nothing left. She picked up her chopsticks without hesitation. The best way to preserve good things was naturally to eat them and preserve them in her stomach.
The plate of raw fish was cut very thin. Therefore, after covering the entire plate, one would only find that it was layered in two layers. In order to not stick together, it was not completely stuck together. If one was not careful, one would not notice it.
Even if they ate one piece at a time, it would not be enough, not to mention that there was not a lot of fish. Therefore, the raw fish was quickly finished.
“How is it? is the food good?” Wei Wei leaned closer and asked.
“It’s indeed very delicious. Not only is the taste good, but the plate presentation is also very beautiful. Most importantly, I feel very comfortable eating in this small restaurant. The food is delicious, the place is comfortable, and the guests around are also very nice. ” Zuozuo nodded.
It had been about a week since she came out, and she didn’t feel anxious at all. However, after eating a dish, all she could think about was food. Food could calm people’s hearts. This was true.
In particular, when the cold fish entered his stomach, he felt his entire body calm down. It wasn’t that it was some kind of immortal pill or magical medicine, nor was it that mysterious. It was just a sense of satisfaction that gushed out from the heart after eating delicious food. It made him feel very fulfilled and comfortable.
“If I’m lecturing in this kind of environment, I have no problem with it.” Zuozuo thought to herself, but the audience at the storytelling venue was much messier.
“I told you the food here would make you happy, right?!” Wei Wei was very happy when she saw her friend eating her recommendation.
Usually, she would come with Mr. Wei and take care of things. This was Wei Wei’s first time handling things on her own, and it felt good.
Then, the dishes were served one after another. First, Wei Wei ordered steamed eggs with prawns, then Zuozuo ordered sausage and glutinous rice cake, and finally, a Kungfu dish, Osmanthus salad.
The dish was a famous dish in Guangdong Province. It used quite a lot of ingredients, and of course, it took a long time because marinating and steaming took time. Therefore, this dish was served last.
The name sounded very beautiful, but in fact, when one saw a dish, one would think it was a sausage-type food, and a big sausage at that.
The dish was cut into round slices. The slices were not very thick, only 0.1 cm in thickness. However, the contents were rich and varied in color. There were yellow, meat, and white.
Of course, the Osmanthus bouquet was different from sausages. Sausages were filled with meat into the small intestine, while the Osmanthus bouquet was rolled up with fresh duck intestines.
One of the most important criteria to determine whether the Osmanthus was tied up or not was whether it was rolled up tightly. If it was not rolled up tightly, it would fall apart easily when cut, which would not look good. Of course, the taste would not be good.
The Osmanthus bouquet served now was definitely perfect. There was salted egg yolk, lean meat, fat and lean meat inside, and the duck intestines were rolled up tightly, showing that each slice was very solid.
Because it had just been steamed, it was steaming and had a very strong fragrance. The taste of the salted egg yolk was already very fragrant. Not only did it have the rich smell of oil, but it also had the unique taste of marinating. Together with the fragrance of the meat after marinating, it was very attractive.
“I’ll try it. ” Zuozuo didn’t give Weiwei a chance to speak. She picked up her chopsticks and put a piece into her mouth.
