Chinese chef

Chapter 62 Boneless Carp

62 boneless carp

Early the next morning, Shen Songtao called.

"Mufeng, yesterday I was only thinking about eating your dishes, but I forgot for a moment. Doesn't this carp have a lot of bones? It's hard for us to eat, let alone foreigners, how about another dish?" For dishes that don't have so many fish bones." Shen Songtao said with a smile.

"Uncle Shen, don't worry! What I prepared today is boneless carp." Mu Feng said with a smile.

"Boneless carp? Is there such a species? Could it be a genetically modified carp? Mufeng, we can't eat this genetically modified carp, it violates the laws of nature! No, let's change to a different kind of fish!" Shen Song Tao said in a hurry.

Mu Feng held the mobile phone, and listened to the voice from the other side of the phone, with a dazed expression on his face.

Isn't this old man Shen's brain too big? !

How did he think of the genetically modified carp?

Just as Mu Feng wanted to explain, Shen Songtao began to talk on his own again.

"...How about we change to crucian carp! Oh, yes, crucian carp also has a lot of bones, no, no, then..." Shen Songtao talked on the phone, and Mu Feng was stunned. Couldn't get in the mouth.

"Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen." Mu Feng called three times in a row, and Shen Songtao stopped talking temporarily.

"Mu Feng, you said, hehe, I'm just giving advice, you are the chef, what kind of fish do you think we should use?" Shen Songtao asked with a smile.

"Uncle Shen, the boneless carp I mentioned just now didn't mean that there is such a species of carp, but that I have a way to remove all the bones of the carp. I can guarantee that I won't be able to eat a single bone by then!" Mu Mu Feng said confidently.

"Remove all the bones of the carp?" Shen Songtao was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "Remove even the small thorns?"

"That's right, all the fish bones, not a single one is left, remove them all!" Mu Feng said.

"Can you still do this?!" Shen Songtao said in surprise.

"Of course! Don't worry! I guarantee that you will be satisfied with this banquet!" Mu Feng said confidently.

"That's good, that's good, hehe, it's okay, there's nothing else to do. Then you go to work first, we will arrive at Zhonghua Building at about 11:30." Shen Songtao said with a smile.

"Don't worry! No problem!" Mu Feng said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Feng began to prepare for the noon banquet.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and at about 45:[-], Shen Songtao and his party arrived at Zhonghua Building.

A total of five of them came. The Shen family was Shen Songtao and Shen Yaoguang, father and son, and a secretary named Li.

As for the other two foreigners, they are a couple who seem to be in their 30s.

Shi Nancheng and Mu Feng personally went to the gate to receive them.

"Uncle Shen." Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng greeted Shen Songtao with a smile.

"Mu Feng, Nan Cheng, come, let me introduce you, this is my son Shen Yaoguang." Shen Songtao said with a hearty smile.

Shen Yaoguang?

After hearing Shen Songtao's words, Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng were taken aback for a moment. Why does this name sound so familiar?

Think about it.

Isn't the owner of Le Cuiyuan, the largest real estate development company in Fengze City, called Shen Yaoguang?

Same name?

The two were stunned.

"Boss Shen, you and the boss of Le Cui Yuan..." Before Mu Feng finished speaking, Shen Yaoguang smiled and nodded.

Understood.

Seeing Shen Yaoguang's reaction, both Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng understood.

The two suddenly had a feeling of 'life is wonderful'.

The two met Shen Songtao by chance. They didn't expect that Shen Songtao was actually the Jade King, let alone that Shen Songtao's son was a real estate tycoon in Fengze City.

Mu Feng thought for a while, then laughed, he still has a cooking system in his mind, which is amazing!

Compared with the system, the real estate tycoon seems less surprising.

"Mu Feng, what's your name, Boss Shen? It seems alien. You call me Uncle Shen. He's my son. You can call him Uncle Shen. Haha." Shen Songtao said.

"Hi Uncle Shen, welcome to Zhonghua Building." Mu Feng said with a smile.

Shi Nancheng also followed Mu Feng's call and greeted Shen Yaoguang.

Shen Yaoguang nodded with a smile: "Hello."

"Yaoguang, these two are the general manager of Zhonghua Building, Shi Nancheng, and the chief chef of Zhonghua Building, Mu Feng." Shen Songtao smiled and introduced Mu Feng to his son.

When Shen Yaoguang heard that Shi Nancheng was the general manager, although he was a little surprised at Shi Nancheng's youth, he quickly accepted it.

The founder of Zhonghua Building is Shi Chunxin, who is a descendant of Shi's family by hearing Shi Nancheng's name.

Since he is a descendant of the Shi family, age is not so important.

However, this head chef...

Shen Yaoguang looked at his father.

Dad, are you right?

This young man is the chief chef of Zhonghua Building?

Dad, these two of my clients today are distinguished guests, you won't cheat on me, will you?

Shen Songtao also looked at his son.

Little brat, are your father and I the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?

Mu Feng's cooking skills are amazing!

The father and son of the Shen family had a tacit understanding, they didn't make a sound, but they were able to guess the meaning of the other party only through their eyes.

Although Shen Yaoguang had doubts in his heart, he had already arrived at the Zhonghua Building, and he would be safe when he came, and his father would not really cheat him if he thought about it.

Maybe, it's really unknown if a hero is born as a teenager!

He had also heard of a chef abroad who was already very famous in his teens.

Come to think of it, with so many folk masters in the country, it is not entirely impossible for a young chief chef to emerge among them.

"James, Elena, this is the chief chef of Zhonghua Building - Mu Feng, today's banquet will be cooked by him himself." Shen Yaoguang introduced Mu Feng to the two foreigners.

"Chef? Aren't all chefs old?" James looked at Shen Yaoguang suspiciously.

"Yeah, I heard from my friends that the chefs are all old people, 50 or 60 years old, how can they be so young?" Elena also felt very strange.

Although James and Elena are British, they have always liked China very much.I have learned about many things in China, and, in order to better understand China, I also deliberately learned Chinese.

Although their Chinese is not standard, they have already reached the level of normal communication.

"..." Shen Yaoguang was still in a daze, and he also wanted to know why.

However, he is the master, if he said he didn't know, he would be showing cowardice, so he had to give Mu Feng a credit endorsement for the time being.

I just hope that Mu Feng really has real talents and learning, so that he won't make a fool of himself in front of two foreign friends later.

"There are many masters in our Chinese folk. Oh, master means expert. Although Chef Mu Fengmu looks young, his cooking skills are already at the expert level." Shen Yaoguang said, looking at him Father Shen Songtao.

What he revealed is obvious, Dad, I can tell you what I said!Don't fool me~

Shen Songtao gave him a reassuring look.

After listening to Shen Yaoguang's words, James and Elena nodded.

"I thought the chefs were all old people, but I didn't expect there to be such a handsome one." Elena said with a smile.

"Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen, let's go up first!" Shi Nancheng said.

"Okay, let's go up!" Shen Songtao nodded.

Immediately, under the leadership of Shi Nancheng, a group of people entered the Zhonghua Building.

"It looks like a palace!" Elena said excitedly, pointing to the carved beams and painted buildings in the Zhonghua Building.

"This place is very..." After thinking for a long time, James finally came up with a suitable adjective, and said to Shen Yaoguang, "It's amazing!"

Although the word still sounds a bit vague, everyone present can understand what James means.

Seeing the two foreign friends so happy, Shen Yaoguang was naturally in a very happy mood.

The group took the elevator to the top floor.

Mu Feng wanted to go back to the back kitchen to prepare, so he didn't follow.

When entering the elevator, James saw Shi Nancheng took out the access control card, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Do I need to use the access control card here?"

"Yes, you can only go up to the top floor by swiping the access control card, so make sure no one else disturbs you." Shi Nancheng said with a smile.

"It feels very similar to our private club over there." James said to Shen Yaoguang.

"The top floor of the Zhonghua Building is not accessible to just anyone..." Shen Yaoguang smiled and talked about the history of the Zhonghua Building with James and his wife.

After a while, the elevator reached the top floor. After getting out of the elevator, James and Elena strolled around the top floor before following Shi Nancheng into the box.

The two are also quite powerful businessmen in the UK, so they have seen many novel things.

However, they have always felt that Chinese things are full of mystery, so no matter where they go, they can't help but look at them carefully.

After entering the box, everyone sat down, and Shen Songtao signaled Shi Nancheng to prepare to serve the food slowly.

----

Three cold dishes were served first.

The [Cold Salad with Three Shredded Sauce] was fine, but when the [Red Oil Vegetable Leaf] and [Ginger Preserved Eggs] came to the table, Shen Yaoguang was a little confused.

[Red oil louver] is made of beef louver, which is also tripe, which belongs to internal organs, and foreigners generally do not eat internal organs.

Shen Yaoguang just wanted to remind James and Elena, who knew that James had already picked up some beef louvers and tasted it.

"Shen, hiss, it's so spicy, this looks good, it's delicious! Eat it quickly," James said.

Shen Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, looking at the plate of [red oil venetian leaves]. Of the three dishes on the table, this [red oil veiled leaves] looked the best.

After cooking, the beef louver is no longer the original gray black, but has turned bright yellow, with red chili oil on it, which looks very attractive.

"James, this... this is tripe, that is, cow's stomach." Shen Yaoguang said with some embarrassment.

Seeing that he was eating so happily, Shen Yaoguang originally didn't intend to tell him, but after thinking about it, if he didn't tell him the truth, it would be even worse if he knew it himself in the future.

"...cow, cow stomach?" James was taken aback.

He had a solemn expression, his eyes were fixed on the plate of [Red Oil Blinds] on the table, as if he was engaged in a battle between heaven and man in his mind.

Then, about ten seconds later, he picked up another chopstick, and after hesitating for a moment, he tried again.

When James was hesitating, Elena had already picked up two chopsticks and began to taste the beef louver.

James also saw how Elena was eating with gusto, so he decided to taste it again.

The shredded beef is delicious, crispy and tender, and the aroma of spicy oil is tempting...

This is the stomach of a cow?

James was puzzled at first, and then slowly turned into surprise.

"It turns out that cow's stomach is so delicious! I only know that steak is delicious, but I didn't expect that cow's stomach is also delicious!" James said in surprise.

"Yes, cow stomach is a very popular food in our country." Shen Yaoguang said with a smile.

"China is amazing!" Elena said with a smile.

Seeing that James and Elena accepted Niu Baiye, Shen Yaoguang was relieved.

Although James and Elena had said in advance that they wanted to eat the most authentic Chinese food, Shen Yaoguang still had no confidence in offal.

After all, foreigners have a natural repulsion towards animal offal.

"What animal's egg is this?" Elena asked, pointing to the plate of [Ginger Preserved Eggs].

"This is a duck egg." Shen Yaoguang said.

"Duck eggs? Why are duck eggs black?" Elena asked suspiciously.

Then, she took a piece of preserved egg and tried it.

"It's delicious." After eating, Eileen nodded her head in praise.

She is full of curiosity about everything in China, so she is very receptive to strange things.

In addition, although this preserved egg looks strange, it is a duck egg after all, and psychologically, it is easier to accept than animal offal.

She accepted the [Red Oil Blind Leaf] dish just now faster than James, let alone this [Ginger Preserved Egg].

"James, please try it, it's delicious!" Elena said to James, and then she said to Shen Yaoguang and Shen Songtao, "Shen, and Shen's father, you eat eggs too."

"Okay." Shen Songtao and Shen Yaoguang nodded with a smile, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the beef basil and preserved eggs to try.

"This Niu Baiye did a good job." Shen Yaoguang said to his father Shen Songtao with a smile.

"I introduced your dad correctly, right? Haha" Shen Songtao said, and then, looking at Secretary Li, who was a little reserved, said, "Xiao Li, you eat too."

"Okay, okay, please." Secretary Li said with a smile.

After the cold dishes, it is served with meat and vegetables.

At the beginning, [Fujian-Zhejiang Style Drunken Ribs], [Ground Pot Chicken], [Scratched Tofu Balls] and [Mushroom Stewed Cabbage] were all fine, and everyone ate them with relish.

But when the [Sesame Oil Sausage Roll] came up, Shen Yaoguang was stunned again.

In fact, if the waiter didn't mention the name of the dish, the [Sesame Sausage Roll] would not look like a pig's large intestine from the outside.

Because [Sesame Oil Sausage Roll] is cut into slices, it looks not much different from sausage in appearance.

However, James and Elena are very curious. They will ask what ingredients are made of each dish and how it is cooked.

They admire and are full of curiosity about the superb cooking skills of Chinese chefs.

Especially James, it seems that the [red oil louver] just now left a little shadow in his heart. Even though he has fully accepted the fact that cow stomach is delicious, he still can't help but think about "animal offal" 'This point.

Shen Yaoguang looked at his father again.

Dad, this dish is really special...

Shen Songtao looked at him with a smile and made eye contact.

This is authentic Chinese food!

"..." Shen Yaoguang turned his head, thinking about how to explain this dish.

However, before he could think about it, James spoke first.

"Shen, what is this? What is sesame oil sausage roll?" James looked at Shen Yaoguang curiously.

"..." Shen Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, forget it, just tell the truth.

"This sesame oil sausage roll is made of pig intestines..." James was dumbfounded as soon as Shen Yaoguang said the word 'pig intestines'.

"Pig large intestine?" James was stunned for a moment, then asked with some uncertainty, "Large intestine? Intestine? The intestine in a pig? That intestine?"

Seeing James' appearance, Shen Yaoguang didn't know what was wrong. He didn't think there was something strange about the pig's intestines, but when James kept mentioning it, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling about the pig's intestines.

He shook his head slightly, and quickly put this strange thought out of his mind.

"Don't get excited, listen to me first." Shen Yaoguang comforted.

"Say it, say it." James also felt that his reaction seemed a little big, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"The raw materials of this sesame oil sausage roll are mainly pork and chicken. The main function of this pig's large intestine is to wrap these pork and chicken, and this pig's large intestine is cleaned with salt and vinegar before use." Shen Yaoguang explained carefully road.

"But, it's still pig intestines..." James said hesitantly.

Shen Yaoguang smiled awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Shen Yaoguang's explanation, Elena grabbed a piece of sausage roll and ate it without hesitation.

James was taken aback after reading it.

"Well, it's delicious! It really tastes like chicken!" Elena said in surprise after eating.

James was still looking at her, his eyes full of hesitation.

"Didn't you always say that you want to try real Chinese food? Why don't you even dare to taste pig intestines now?" Elena said to James in English.

"Who said I dare not?" James also replied in English.

Among the people present, only Shen Songtao could not understand English, so he took Shen Yaoguang's hand, wanting to know what James and his wife were talking about.

"They are discussing whether this dish is delicious or not, and whether it can be eaten." Shen Yaoguang looked at his father helplessly, "Dad, this pig is too authentic~"

"You get used to it after eating!" Shen Songtao said with a smile, and then asked Elena, "Linna, is it delicious?"

"Dad, it's Elena." Shen Yaoguang said.

"Isn't it more kind for me to call you that?" Shen Songtao glanced at him.

"It's delicious, eat it quickly." Elena said with a smile.

"Okay, as long as it's delicious, haha." Shen Songtao said cheerfully.

Elena then picked up another piece of sausage roll. Seeing that James was still hesitating, she said speechlessly, "Eat! You'll know if it's good after you eat it!"

James hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to give it a try.

Putting a piece of sausage roll to his mouth, he hesitated again, and looked at Elena who was eating with gusto.

Taking a deep breath, he put the sausage rolls in his mouth and chewed them a few times.

Ok?

Is this the smell of pig intestines?

No, is this pig intestine?

Why is it so delicious?

James looked at the plate of [Sesame Oil Sausage Roll] with a puzzled face, and picked up another piece of sausage roll to try.

The sausage rolls did not feel greasy at all, but the fresh and rich taste kept echoing between the mouth and mouth.

"This large intestine is so strange! Why? Is this large intestine? How can it be so delicious?" James looked surprised and puzzled.

"Look, I just said that you will get used to it after eating!" Shen Songtao looked at his son with some complacency and said.

"Well, you're still smart!" Shen Yaoguang laughed.

He shook his head and smiled, the breath in his heart was letting go, but then the waiter brought another dish and lifted his breath again.

"This is [Qingbo Yellow River Carp], please use it slowly!" The waiter introduced while bringing the dishes to the table.

carp?

Shen Yaoguang was completely dumbfounded.

This carp is famous for having many bones!

It is difficult for us to eat it ourselves, let alone foreigners.

Maybe people will think that we are deliberately making things difficult for them!

Shen Yaoguang looked at his father Shen Songtao, his eyes were full of doubts.

He is depressed, he is at a loss, he is puzzled...

It seems that I haven't done anything to make the old man unhappy recently, right?

Even if there is, the old man wouldn't cheat him like this, would he?

He frowned slightly and looked at Dad.

At this time, Elena had already reached out to pick up the fish.

"The fish looks good," Elena said.

Shen Yaoguang looked back, the fish meat in Elena's hand was almost up to her mouth.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Be careful of fishbone!"

"Fishbone?" Elena was stunned, and carefully looked at the fish in front of her, "There is no fishbone!"

"This carp has so many small thorns that you may not be able to see it with your eyes." Shen Yaoguang said with a smile, and then called the waiter who was waiting at the side, "Hello, please serve another dish! The carp will be removed first. Drop, too many thorns."

"Sir, this carp has no thorns." The waiter said with a smile.

Shen Yaoguang looked at the waiter speechlessly, are you kidding me?

Who knows, his father also spoke.

"This carp has no thorns." Shen Songtao said.

"No thorns?" Shen Yaoguang looked at his father suspiciously.

"Mu Feng said that what he makes is boneless carp, and he guarantees that there is not a single thorn in it." Shen Songtao said.

"Really?" Shen Yaoguang asked.

"You'll know if you try it." Shen Songtao said.

Shen Yaoguang had no choice but to nod, and said to James and Elena with a smile, "I'll give it a try first to see if there are any fishbone."

James and Elena nodded.

"President Shen, let me do it!" Secretary Li said.

"No need." Shen Yaoguang said.

Then, I picked up a piece of fish and carefully tried it.

This fish is fresh and tender, with a spicy taste and no fishy smell at all. The taste is nothing to say, very delicious...

More importantly, this fish really has no bones!

After Shen Yaoguang took a bite, he still had doubts, so he took another piece of fish to try.

He tasted it carefully, and the fish meat melted in his mouth, but the tiny fish bones in his impression still did not appear.

"This carp really doesn't seem to have fishbone." Shen Yaoguang couldn't believe it.

He thought about it, but he was still uneasy. After all, if the fishbone got stuck in his throat, it would be a big deal.

So he took another piece of fish and tried again.

This time, there was still no fishbone.

I tried three times in a row, but I didn't eat any fish three times.

Shen Yaoguang was puzzled at first, then surprised, and finally admired.

Just thinking about it, he knew how much effort it would take to handle this carp like this.

In fact, it took Mu Fengguang a full hour to deal with the thorns on this carp.

Although he has the skill of deboning whole fish, he has never tried to remove all the small thorns so meticulously.

When handling this carp, he first cut the carp open along the belly, but did not cut it completely, because the integrity of the carp must be preserved when it is cooked later.

He just opened the carp to remove the bone easily.

After removing the main thorn and most of the random thorns with a knife, Mu Feng pulled out the remaining random thorns one by one with clips.

In addition to needing enough patience to debone a carp, it is also very important to have an understanding of the internal structure of a carp, thanks to the [whole fish deboning] skill he acquired from the system.

The master-level 【Boneless Whole Fish】In addition to various deboning techniques, it also comes with a lot of information about various fish.

Mu Feng used master-level techniques and enough patience to make this [clear boiled boneless Yellow River carp].

The reason why Mu Feng chose to make this dish is also to challenge himself. After all, the skills given by the system are systematic. Only when he really uses and thinks about them, these skills will truly become his.
