Chapter 102 Cold Pot Fish(1/2)

Author: Nian Beifeng

After having lunch and resting for a while, the three of them waited obediently in the back kitchen because they knew that Zhou Mochen would teach how to make new dishes today. Basically, when the new dishes were mastered, they would show the menu and see the diners.

their reactions.

After confirming that there are no major problems, Zhou Mochen will teach new dishes again, which will save one employee in the restaurant. Zhou Mochen is willing to spend money and let the three of them cook for the staff meals.

After drinking tea, Zhou Mochen went downstairs and went to the kitchen.

"Yingying, go catch a silver carp and process it, a smaller one will do." After Zhou Mochen said that, he started to prepare the ingredients. What he was going to make was cold pot fish, which is a similar dish to boiled fish.

Just watch Jiang Yingying's little hands holding the big fish, knocking it out, removing the scales, disemboweling it, and cutting the gills in a smooth and smooth manner.

"Okay, Master!" Jiang Yingying cleaned the fish.

"Well, I'll teach you how to make cold pot fish. It's not complicated. It's just a matter of seasoning." Zhou Mochen said and started to fillet the fish. Remove the head and tail of the fish. After the fish is filleted, it is seasoned and sizing.

"The taste and sizing must be done, otherwise the meat quality will change during the cooking process and the freshness and tenderness requirements will not be met." After Zhou Mochen said this, he started to light the fire and heat the pot.

Add the bean paste and stir-fry over low heat. After the oil is colored, add the dried chili peppers, green peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger slices, and scallions into the pot and stir-fry over medium heat for a few minutes, then add the chopped pickles.

Stir-fry peppers, pickled ginger and kimchi together. After stir-frying until fragrant, add broth and boil. At the same time, add appropriate amount of salt and chicken essence, and cook lightly. After the soup is cooked, turn off the heat and let it cool. The soup will have a thicker flavor. Add egg white and a small amount of gravy.

Adjust the fish fillets, bring the pot to a boil again, add the fish heads and bones, and finally the fish fillets. After the fish fillets change color, turn off the heat and garnish with coriander.

"Master, it smells so good." Jiang Yingying saw the oily cold pot fish, smelled the fragrance, and swallowed.

"Teacher, can we have a taste?" Bai Chenghuan, who had just eaten but was tempted by the smell, said.

"Try them all." Zhou Mochen also took out his chopsticks, tasted a piece, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm, it's spicy and fragrant, the fish is tender and delicious, the spiciness has distinct layers, and it's rich and mellow." After Guan Ziqi ate a piece, he immediately fell in love with this dish. Most of the classic Sichuan flavor is made of Sichuan peppercorns.

It is made. In order to make it stand out more, green peppercorns are specially added to this dish.

"Wow. It's so delicious. I also want to add a bowl of rice." Jiang Yingying said as she pulled the fish in the bowl.

"Stop eating the rice, just finish the fish. It's not good to be too full." Zhou Mochen said helplessly. This snack food has been cultivated, and he is better than his master. It is far beyond Zhou Mochen's realm.

"Uh-huh, okay, teacher." Bai Chenghuan responded, but the chopsticks did not stop and moved towards the fish head.

Jiang Yingying saw that the situation was not good and started to buy the fish heads at the bottom. The two of them fought for each other. The official chess game did not care about their hobbies, preferring fish tails and fish soaks. They quickly put them into the bowl.

"Ziqi, you don't have martial ethics." Bai Chenghuan lost a game first, and when he went to find Yupao, he found that Guan Ziqi had robbed him.

"I'll admit it, hehe!" Hehehe smiled and started eating deliciously.

"Let's try making one tonight. I know how to cook boiled fish, so this is easy to make." Zhou Mochen didn't bother them when they were having a good time, and said after a while.

"Okay, Master!" "Okay, Teacher!"

After saying that, Zhou Mochen went to the tea room upstairs. When he opened the door, he saw that Su Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep at some point. He shook his head and reached for a blanket to cover her. He was beside him, reading a book and drinking.

Tea, try not to make any noise.

Ling Zihan came to the tea room after handling the accounts downstairs. When he opened the door, he saw that Zhou Mochen was there.

"Shh!" Zhou Mochen heard the sound of the door and rushed towards the person, making a silent gesture. Only then did Ling Zihan see that Su Xiaoxiao was asleep and slowly backed out.

The sudden episode did not ruin Su Xiaoxiao's sweet dream. Zhou Mochen sat next to him and continued to read the book, looking attentive.

Time passed by minute by minute. Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a daze, blinked first, and then when she saw the person next to her, her eyes lit up and she jumped forward.

"Hehe, brother Mo Chen." Xiao Naiyin blurted out after just waking up.

"Did you sleep well?" Zhou Mochen asked, stroking the little girl's hair.

"Hmm, I slept well, and I'm still dreaming." Su Xiaoxiao said happily.

"Huh? Tell me what you dreamed about, brother, so happy." Zhou Mochen asked curiously.

"Hey, I dreamed about eating chicken drumsticks. It's delicious." Su Xiaoxiao said seriously. As she spoke, she thought about it, as if she had actually eaten it.

"You are such a foodie. How about my brother making chicken legs for you tonight?" Zhou Mochen said dotingly.

"Okay, okay. Thank you, brother Mo Chen." Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands happily.

"Master, Master! We have a guest, and we have your order." At this time, the intercom rang, and Jiang Yingying's voice came from it.

"I know, just go down." He picked up the walkie-talkie and responded.

"Xiaoxiao is playing here by herself. If you get bored, go to the bar and play. Don't run around in other places." Zhou Mochen reminded.

"I know, brother Mo Chen, I still need to practice calligraphy." Su Xiaoxiao stood up and took out the things from her schoolbag.

"We Xiaoxiao are so good. Then brother Mo Chen is going downstairs." After saying that, he went downstairs.

He walked to the stove, took a look at the list, and started to match and light the fire. Every day was a repetitive task, but Zhou Mochen never found it boring. He could do whatever he liked. Ever since he accidentally entered that state last time,

He didn't study it specifically.

I just follow my heart, but it will appear once or twice from time to time. Now it only has a 50% probability of entering when making egg fried rice. I still can't completely control it independently.

Zhou Mochen is not in a hurry. His basic skills are also improving through continuous practice. Skilled operation is only the basics. Observing, thinking, and summarizing during operation are important factors for improving his cooking skills.

There are two outcomes between being careful and not being careful. This is something he often tells the other three people.

While sweating profusely, Zhou Mochen stopped moving. Having completed the continuous order, he washed his face, took off his clothes, and sat at the bar to drink tea and rest for a while.

"Brother Zhou, would you like to have a drink?"

"Okay, let's have a drink."

After Zhou Mochen finished speaking, he took his own drink from the bar and walked over.

"Brother Zhou, I don't know if you have heard that someone has started to challenge Ouyang Shaoqi, the god of cooking in Hell."

"Oh? I really don't know. I don't pay much attention to it."

"He's from the Shangguan family, a family of culinary experts. The two families have been fighting for many years. If it hadn't been for a genius from the Ouyang family this time, I'm not sure who would have taken over the position of God of Cooking."

"It seems there is something else going on here? How did you know?"

"Hey, he's a friend of mine. He's a top gourmet. His resources are quite powerful. I'm lucky enough to see two of them competing."

"What's the result?" Zhou Mochen became interested when he heard this.

"You don't know. You don't believe it even if I tell you. It was originally a competition, but Ouyang Shaoqi asked Shangguan Qingyun to taste his cooking. If he can withstand it, he will compete with him. As a result, after Shangguan Qingyun finished eating

Immediately he became decadent. He couldn’t even compare. You said he was a god or not.”

"Really?" Zhou Mochen's eyes flashed after hearing this. Is this the suppression of the realm? If you are not strong-minded, you will be easily infected by the food, just like the egg fried rice he made, and he himself will be affected from the beginning.

Until now, I basically never lose my mind, let alone being assimilated by my emotions.

"It's true. I didn't know until I heard about it. These top chefs are incredible people. They're amazing. We haven't eaten it either. The best we've ever tasted was the food cooked by a third-level star chef.

And it’s as good as Brother Zhou’s.”

"Brother, I'm so impressed. I still have a lot to learn, and I'm still a first-level star chef."

"Hey, I don't know about you yet. Although I'm not a top-notch gourmet, my tasting skills are not bad either. Your craftsmanship is definitely up to the mark. Of course, I hope you can break through that level one day, and at least let us

Let these people try what the master’s cooking tastes like.”

"Haha, this is easy to say. I will definitely have a chance in the future."

"Okay, then I wish you success. Cheers!"

"Thanks, do it!"

Zhou Mochen was very happy after hearing this, raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"Brother Mo Chen, I'm hungry." Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt her stomach growling after practicing calligraphy. She quickly packed her things, patted her belly and went straight downstairs. As soon as she walked into the lobby, she saw Zhou Mochen chatting with others.

.

"Okay, I'll go cook for Xiaoxiao." After hearing this, Zhou Mochen hurriedly replied. After saying that, he put Su Xiaoxiao on the bar and went to the kitchen.

When the little girl wanted to eat chicken drumsticks, Zhou Mochen didn't try any new tricks and just served Kung Pao chicken, which was suitable for the little girl.

It was ready in a short while. I put some rice on it and brought it directly to the single table next to the bar.

"Xiaoxiao, the food is ready, come and eat." He put the food down and called Su Xiaoxiao to eat.

"Hmm, it smells so good." The little girl looked hungry and kept moving her mouth.

"Eat slowly." Then he handed over the yogurt.

Ling Zihan looked at the side and shook his head. He thought to himself, does Xiaochen have the potential to be a daughter? I really don't know how she will pamper her when she has her own child. If Zhou Mochen hears her voice, he will definitely tell her how to pamper her.

If your daughter doesn’t know, I can tell you how to pamper your wife. Your wife must come before your daughter.

Sitting like this, one big and one small, formed a unique scenery in the restaurant. This also depends on the appearance of both of them. If they are not good-looking, you can taste them carefully.

"Master, it's time to eat." After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yingying and others prepared the staff meals.

"Here we come." After saying that, he went to the dining table. On the table were three pots of cold pot fish with unusually bright colors.

"Master! I made this, the middle one was made by Brother Chenghuan, and the last one was made by Brother Ziqi." After Jiang Yingying saw Zhou Mochen sitting down, she pointed at the three pots of fish and said.

"Well, let me try it." In order to taste the difference, Zhou Mochen specially prepared a cup of warm water for gargling. After tasting them one by one, he had the answer.

"Everything I did this time was good, there was progress, and I put all my effort into it. Chenghuan's work was overdone, but Ziqi's seasoning was a bit lacking." She commented one by one, and the one she was most satisfied with was Jiang Yingying. Different paths lead to the same goal, Shui Qi.
