Chapter 1562 Smooth Fish Balls
Time is like this. When you expect it to go by slowly, it goes by quickly. The guests sitting here naturally know that there will be a satisfaction vote after tonight's dinner, which means that the personal cooking show will Officially over.
Therefore, everyone tacitly hoped that it would end slowly. Even the business boss named Zhu who was usually most anxious to eat was not talking about dinner.
But even so, dinner time came as promised, and everything from appetizers to drinks was quickly served slowly according to the process set by Yuan Zhou.
"Hey." The person who sighed was none other than Francie. He had been doing this since dinner, and he sighed like this every time he finished a dish or a drink.
He had to sigh at least a few times since dinner.
After finally sighing again, August interrupted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, please don't affect my mood of tasting delicious food."
"Yes, Francie, if you have any questions, I think you can leave early. We are very willing to help you with the next food." Manfred also nodded.
"Yes, waste will be blacklisted by Chef Yuan." Chu Xiao nodded seriously.
"Waste is shameful, and I am willing to help." Salomon, who spoke very little, also spoke up.
"Oh, you guys are really not friends enough. You know what I'm sighing about and you still say that." Francie looked angrily at her friends who were staring at her dinner plate.
"No, I don't understand." August said without hesitation.
"Okay, I won't sigh. I'm just a little regretful that it will take a long time before I have the opportunity to eat such delicious food." Francie was also afraid that the people who were cooking would really snatch the food, so he could only say seriously.
"According to the current serving speed, the next thing will be the main course. After the main course, there will be two vegetarian dishes and a snack. The night is officially over." Salomon said sharply.
"And according to Chef Yuan's speed, this process will take less than half an hour, which means to be precise, Chef Yuan's personal cooking exhibition will officially end in half an hour." Salomon did not wait for anyone else to reply. , continued.
As soon as he said this, not to mention everyone at this table looked at him with collective condemnation, even the people at the next table who heard it couldn't help but look at Salomon with a bad expression.
"Are you the devil?" Francie couldn't help but ask.
"No, I'm just telling the truth." Salomon shook his head.
"You'd better shut up." August said to Salomon angrily.
Salomon shrugged and really didn't speak.
But with his words, everyone really felt a little melancholy for a moment. After all, it was a fact that this delicious meal would end in half an hour.
Fortunately, tonight's main course was served at this time, and the beautiful waiter who served everyone read the name of the dish in Chinese and English in a gentle voice: "Smooth Fish Balls."
"Is the main dish tonight going to be fish? It looks very good." August said.
"It's indeed good, this is seabass." Chu Xiao also nodded.
"Perch? That looks like it should be Japanese seabass." Manfred stared at the fish in front of him for a while and said.
"Yes, it seems so." August nodded.
"In China, this fish is called sea bass." Chu Xiao said calmly.
"This fish has no spines, so it should taste very good." Francie didn't care about the name of the fish, he just wanted to eat it.
"Of course, Chef Yuan's cooking is naturally good. After all, his cooking skills are unfathomable." Chu Xiao nodded.
After saying this, Chu Xiao lowered his head and started eating, and Salomon, August and Manfred on the side naturally started eating too.
The fish balls this time were served on a dark wooden plate like other dishes. The dark brown oily wooden plate contained snow-white fish balls of the same size.
If you look closely, you can see that the fish balls are not actually balls, but the fish meat is heated and curled into a ball shape. Each fish ball is cut with a delicate flower knife.
With August's eyesight, he could naturally see that the fish ball became spherical because of these flower knives.
The fish meat was so tender that August not only used chopsticks, but also held a spoon in his left hand, fearing that it would fall if he didn't hold it properly.
After carefully picking up the fish ball, August did not stuff it into his mouth immediately. Instead, he put the fish ball on the spoon and took a light bite with confidence.
"Crack" is the sound of teeth hitting the slightly burnt outer layer of fish meat, and then a very fresh taste hits your mouth.
The sea bass itself is tender and tender, and the fish is garlic-shaped. It tastes tender and tender with the sweetness of the fish.
But for this delicious fish ball, the fish is cut into 6 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 6 mm thick fish beforehand, deep-fried, and then thickened and stir-fried.
This approach makes the outer layer of the seabass a little more hard and crispy, making it taste richer.
Not to mention the clear soup that Yuan Zhou made himself when stir-frying.
As the saying goes, the opera accent, the chef's soup, and Yuanzhou's soup were all made by him in the past few days, and the care and attention to each soup was no less relaxed than a big dish.
This kind of soup is used to enhance the flavor, which makes this simple and smooth fish ball even more delicious.
Therefore, August couldn't help but ate half of the fish balls in one go.
"No, I just wanted to taste it slowly." August, who came back to his senses, looked at the half of the fish balls left on the plate and felt helpless for a moment.
"It seems that it is very difficult to eat Chef Yuan's food at a slower pace." August couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Next, because of self-restraint, August's eating speed did slow down. When he slowed down, he thought of what Chu Xiao said on the first day.
That's what Chu Xiao said about Yuanzhou's ability to adjust the dishes according to everyone's taste. The drinks were obviously different on the first day.
After that, everyone was basically the same, but August suddenly thought of another possibility for what Chu Xiao said, and immediately turned his head to look at Francie who was aside.
"Hey, give me one of your fish balls." August said to Francie with excitement and anxiety on his face.
Francie, who was eating delicious and smooth fish balls, ignored August at all. It wasn't until August pushed his arm that he realized what August said.
In an instant, Francie looked at August as if he were an idiot, and moved her plate warily, trying to stay away from August's eyes.
"That's impossible," Francie affirmed loudly.
"You misunderstood. What I meant was that we exchanged a fish ball. You eat one of mine, and I eat one of yours." August looked at Francie and couldn't guess that Francie thought he was going to rob him. Food, this was explained.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he explained, Francie moved the plate more obviously, and almost moved to Chu Xiao's side, and this time he protected his plate with his arm without leaving any trace.
"..." August, who had the intention of verification in his heart, was speechless for a moment.
