Chapter 8 Fengcheng Fish Skin Horn (2)

At noon the next day, a strong man in white suit and sunglasses came to his hometown hall and claimed to be Dalton's assistant. He asked Hao Xian to fill out the registration form for the second Street Food Overlord Championship.

Dalton himself also arrived as scheduled for dinner. In addition to eating three roast gooses in the wind and clouds, he also began to taste other dishes from Hao Xian.

The original menu has been sealed by Hao Xian, and the new menu is just a simple A4 printing paper with nine Cantonese dishes inherited from his father.

In other words, Hao Xian hid all the dishes he could not make, leaving only the plug-in dishes to save the reputation of his hometown restaurant.

The reason why all the ten dishes were not served is that the production of Fengcheng fish skin corners is too difficult and is not suitable for daily sales.

With these nine dishes alone, the business of the hometown restaurant has also begun to recover. Although it has not turned a profit, at least it has not lost so much.

On the right side of the hometown museum is a Korean barbecue restaurant, located at the corner of the main road and branch alley of Chinatown, and is one of the best shops in Chinatown.

Although most of the customers passing by will be intercepted by the barbecue restaurant, as long as Hao Xian can maintain the quality of the dishes in his hometown hall, he believes that one day he will beat the annoying Korean boss next door like his father.

Delicious food always shines.

The weekend was filled with sweat and sweat during the busy business, and time soon came on the Monday that I had agreed with Li Pengju.

The hometown museum is closed on this day. This is the rule set by Hao Xian’s father. Only by leaving one day a week to study new dishes can we innovate and continue to improve.

At the same time, Monday is also the busiest day for ordinary people. Those who should go to work and those who should go to school, so Chinatown business is often not as good as other times.

"Uncle Li, you are here!" Hao Xin asked the visitor to enter the hotel, carefully hanged the sign of "suspended business" and closed the store door.

Li Pengju was fat and honest, looking over thirties, holding a white refrigerator in his hand. After entering the store, he looked around with nostalgia on his face, and then greeted him in a loud voice:

"Be careful, have you taken good care of yourself recently? Why do you feel like you have lost weight?"

"No~" Hao Xin lowered her head embarrassedly.

"That's right, Uncle Li, are you joking. She has obviously gained nearly one pound these days." Hao Xian walked out of the kitchen.

He wore a mask and a white apron with a plate of lifelike dumplings painted on it, which looked very attractive.

"Hao Xian, how did you know! Have you peeked at me to measure my weight?" Hao Xin raised his head with a murderous look on his face.

"No, no, I'm talking nonsense, silly sister, why are you taking it seriously?" Hao Xian reached out to rub Hao Xin's head with a look of disgust.

Li Pengju smiled and watched the two brothers and sisters fight, secretly comforting that they seemed to finally walk out of the shadow of losing their father, squatted down and opened the refrigerator, and took out a big silver-gray fish:

"The turf you want! It's quite fresh when transported in an expedited air!"

Hao Xian walked over quickly, bent down and fished, and sincerely exclaimed:

"It's worthy of being Uncle Li!"

Dace is very common in southern China, but it is rare in this wonderful country. Generally, canned food can only be purchased.

Hao Xian's father wanted to develop a delicious new dish based on the Fengcheng fish skin corner, so he asked Li Pengju to regularly import frozen stalks. It is rare to get such fresh and not machining stalks. As for live fish, it is really too luxurious.

"Fengcheng Fish Skin Corner is a famous dish in Shunde, a city of food. The production process is very complicated and is a dish that is wandering on the edge of loss. Most stores simplify the steps for making convenience, so the taste is naturally not so authentic. But even the simplified steps are much harder to make than ordinary dumplings, and it is still a delicacy worth trying." Hao Xian said as cherished.

Fengcheng is an alias for Shunde District, Foshan City. The fish skin corner is a traditional local snack. It looks like dumplings, but it is not a real dumpling, because the skin it uses to make "dumplings" is not a flour skin, but a "fish skin" made of fish and fish meat with Zhujiang specialty. It is fragrant, fresh and tender, and has unique characteristics.

"I know, your family uses the most orthodox, most laborious and the best cooking method of fish skin corners. Nowadays, not many people know this. I don't know how many times I have heard this." Li Pengju smiled and shook his hands, "Let's start soon after you have a taste of it. I'm so greedy."

"I've sent a message to Sister Si, she will come here at noon." Hao Xin also smiled. She hadn't tasted this dish for a long time.

Hao Xian picked up the refrigerator and returned to the kitchen, walked to the spacious kitchen counter, took a sky-blue chopping board and placed it next to the sink.

There are seven colors of chopping boards on the kitchen counter, which are used to treat meat (red), fruits and vegetables with strong smell (orange), cooked food (yellow), odorless fruits and vegetables (green), river food (cyan), seafood (blue) and various other raw materials (purple), so as to prevent different ingredients from contaminating with each other.

It is a common method for using special cutting boards for different foods. Even if the shop is not particularly particular, it will generally be divided into two types of cutting boards: raw and cooked food. This set of polypropylene cutting boards in the hometown hall was designed by Hao Xian's father after referring to some restaurant methods and customized high-end products from Germany.

Hao Xian walked to the sink and began to thaw the turtle.

Li Pengju and Hao Xin stood at the kitchen door, watching Hao Xian take action while chatting with him.

However, as the thawing work was completed, both of them no longer spoke, for fear of interfering with Hao Xian's operation.

Hao Xianli went to the ground to clean up the internal organs, removed the scales and cut them into both sides, and removed the fish bones and heads. He nailed the cut piece of fish upwards on the sky-blue chopping board, and the other piece was temporarily placed on the plate beside him.

Li Pengju, who didn't have many opportunities to enter the kitchen, just praised Xiaoxian in his heart, indeed his spirit was different from before.

Hao Xin was a little dazed, her eyes were completely attracted by Hao Xian, holding her breath and reluctant to blink.

This was the first time that his brother had time to watch with all his attention after he suddenly improved his cooking skills. A few days ago, because he wanted to open a business, he often had to go out to entertain customers after a few glances.

Hao Xian focused on placing the sharp kitchen knife horizontally on the fish meat, pressed the kitchen knife with both hands, exerted force at the same time with both shoulders, and chopped off the fish meat slowly and finely.

The small pieces of fish were refined like cotton, just like the tender white snowflakes flying in winter. He was carefully scraped off with a wide kitchen knife, with a thread, a lot of concentration, as if he was afraid of breaking the most precious work of art...

In an instant, Hao Xin seemed to see another figure on Hao Xian, the tall figure that once protected their brother and sister and sheltered them from the wind and rain.

She shook her head and found that Hao Xian was still the same Hao Xian.
