"Is this mandarin fish?!" Zhou Yun blinked and stared at the dish on the table with a surprised expression on his face.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this dish looks so similar to a squirrel.
As a food bucket judge, he has seen many strangely presented dishes, but this is the first time he has seen this.
You must know that the shapes of fish and squirrels have nothing to do with each other. What kind of presentation can connect the two?
Compared to Zhou Yun, Zhou Qing is much calmer.
Although he was equally surprised at first sight, after careful observation, he, who is extremely familiar with fish, quickly saw the clues.
"Is this squirrel head made of the small fins behind the fish head?" Zhou Qing nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that from this angle, it would be so similar to the squirrel head. This is something I have never noticed before."
After careful observation, he quickly discovered more clues.
The fish meat is cut into strips with fine knife skills, and the surface is coated with starch and fried?
I didn’t expect that this technique could be used on fish.
At this moment, Zhou Qing was somewhat glad that he had chosen to test Qin Lang in this way, allowing Qin Lang to surprise him again.
Since it is cooked by deep-frying, it is normal for it to have a strong aroma.
"Then excuse me." Qin Lang nodded politely, with expectation in his eyes.
This is a copper badge with a fish scale pattern on the front and a leaping koi carp, with the words "Dongxia City·Fish Scale" underneath.
After chewing it for a while, the taste changed again.
The slightly sweet and sour aroma of oranges perfectly neutralizes the greasy feeling of fried starch, which is undoubtedly a plus point.
He took the fish scale badge into his arms with great care, and couldn't help but show joy on his face.
During lunch, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
In contrast, the fish meat is fresh and tender inside.
"But there's one thing I'm sure of."
"Grandpa Zhou, I will take my leave now."
"Thank you!" Qin Lang took the badge and looked at it carefully.
While my father was still savoring it, I quickly ate more.
Sensing Qin Lang's joy, Dan Bao couldn't help but cheer.
Delicious.
It also contains the fishy taste of mandarin fish.
Otherwise, there will be a little residue at the end of the fish shreds, which will bring an unpleasant dining experience to obsessive eaters.
When they communicated with each other at the dinner table, it was not only Qin Lang who was touched, but him as well.
He couldn't help but admire it.
But at this moment, the fish had just the right flavor, making him couldn't help but nod.
This little move was noticed by Zhou Qing, and he immediately glared at his son angrily.
Zhou Qing picked up the chopsticks.
Only if each knife is accurately cut on the fish skin without cutting the skin, can each fish thread be broken from the root.
His first chopstick was caught on the squirrel's tail.
Through the cross-section, you can clearly see the tender and juicy state of the fish inside.
Is this a first-level food recommender badge?
The eleven first-level food recommenders are also the eleven final judges in the municipal cooking competition.
"Click!"
After eating the squirrel mandarin fish cooked by Qin Lang, he felt itchy and wanted to show off his skills.
As it happens, Zhou Qing has some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
…
He also wanted to see how good the cook was, who was said to be very good at cooking fish dishes.
After thickening, the slightly thick sweet and sour juice hangs better on the surface of the starch shell. The sweet and sour taste with orange flavor makes people energetic and whets their appetite.
What's more important is that it contains many cooking methods and ideas native to the world of food.
very good.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but look at the remaining half of the chopsticks.
This made him feel better about this dish.
Zhou Qing must have accurately judged Qin Lang's strength.
Don't pay too much attention to gorgeousness, focus on agility.
Qin Lang's knife skills are also excellent.
He already has a plan on how to obtain the Eater's Badge next.
Then, Zhou Qing slowly stood up, walked to the cabinet on the side, and took out a badge from it.
I hope the next two badges will go as smoothly.
The cooking methods of the two worlds cannot be said to be stronger or weaker, but each has its own characteristics after long-term development.
Watching Qin Lang leave, Zhou Qing slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Okay, you can come here often if you have nothing to do." Zhou Qing had a smile on his face.
If the aroma of fried starch dominates, then Zhou Qing is not satisfied with this dish.
Although it was only a few precautions that did not involve secrets, it also gave him a little more confidence in obtaining the other two food recommender badges.
"I will definitely do it." Qin Lang nodded, turned and left Zhou's house.
"This is a badge that belongs exclusively to me, the fish scale badge." Zhou Qing solemnly handed the badge to Qin Lang, "The dishes you cooked have been approved by me. Now, I will award it to you."
The smell is impeccable, as is the appearance.
"Father, what ranking do you think he can get in the municipal cooking competition in a week's time?" Zhou Yun had already assumed that Qin Lang could successfully obtain three badges.
This made Zhou Qing nodded slightly.
After the meal, Qin Lang's name for Zhou Qing became even closer.
"What ranking?" Zhou Qing shook his head, "There is a certain amount of luck in the ranking of the competition. If the event you are drawn is not conducive to you, it will be difficult to show your full strength. I can't say that."
The golden squirrel is so vivid and lifelike that it can still occupy a place among all the dishes Zhou Qing has seen.
Zhou Yun on the other side remained silent as his chopsticks had already picked up the fifth shredded fish.
The words that this young man with unique insights occasionally mentioned made him feel refreshed.
With just one glance, Zhou Qing could roughly tell that the orange flavor came from the sauce poured on the surface.
Got the food recommender badge!
Getting the first badge successfully is a good sign.
Zhou Qing bit off half of the shredded fish and chewed it slowly.
How can you control the heat so well?
The fried starch shell is crispy with a bit of glutinous texture, which is the result of the loose outer layer being soaked by the sweet and sour juice. The coexistence of the two greatly alleviates the greasiness of the shell, and at the same time the taste
The levels are richer.
During lunch, Zhou Qing told him some stories about other eaters.
What's even better is that the fragrance also has a hint of orange.
With a very slight crunching sound, he broke off a fish thread by its roots, leaving only a bit of fish skin exposed at the end.
Zhou Qing's cooking skills in cooking fish dishes are naturally not weak.
But Zhou Qing also noticed that the aroma did not come entirely from fried starch.
The initial taste is sweet and sour.
"It's almost noon, let's stay for a light meal." Zhou Qing said with a smile.
"I look forward to seeing you at the cooking competition in a week."
"It won't be long before you can see him at the state level."
