Chapter 1947: Suckling pig takes the lead in private foodTranslator: 549690339
“Roast pig, I also want a roast pig.” Wu Hai instantly felt better and no longer coveted Zhou Shijie’s meat.
“Wu Hai, you’ve already ordered more than 10 dishes. With the addition of the roasted suckling pig, can you finish them all?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“I’m here, no accidents!” Wu Hai said firmly.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and started to prepare the roast suckling pig. Strictly speaking, the roast suckling pig had to be ordered in advance. After all, the roasting could not be done in a short time. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou had prepared it in advance.
On the other side, Zhou Shijie was still in the stage of being shocked by Yuan family’s roast pig.
“No matter how I think about it, I can’t do this kind of knife skill and control of the fire.” Zhou Shijie said first.
“Little Yuan’s knife skills are even more flexible now,” he said after that.
“Uncle Zhou, try it. This is Yuan’s roast suckling pig.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Yuan’s grilled meat. Is this the first dish of Yuan family’s dishes?” Zhou Shijie sighed with emotion,”just the cutting skills and the control of the fire of this roast pig is enough to beat all the other private dishes.”
There was a poet called Zhang Ruoxu in the Tang Dynasty. He had a work called “a moonlit night with flowers on the spring River”, which was known as “suppressing the whole Tang Dynasty with only one work.”
This evaluation came from the late Qing Dynasty Wang Yiyun’s “Xiang Qi Lou poetry.” The original text: Zhang Ruoxu’s “a moonlit night with flowers on the spring River” was written in the style of the West continent. It was unique and outstanding, but it was actually well-known.
Even without the context, what Wang Jie meant was that in the Western Zhou Dynasty’s style of folk song poetry, the flower on the spring River and the moon on the night were the best.
However, it was mistakenly passed on by later generations and slowly became “suppressing the entire Tang” by itself.
And now, Zhou Shijie had said that in the next ten years or so,”suckling pig takes the lead in private dishes” was the original meaning and not a mistake.
Zhou Shijie clearly wanted to say that as the chairman of the chef’s Association, he had tasted all the other dishes, such as Duan family dishes, Tan family dishes, Wang family dishes, and so on. Not to mention Yuan family dishes, even the first dish of Yuan family dishes,”Yuan family’s roasted suckling pig”, had an insurmountable gap.
In the future, for private dishes, Yuan family’s dishes would be in the first tier alone, and there would be no second tier. The third tier would be Tan family’s dishes and Duan family’s dishes.
“It’s just the new year and you’ve already given me such a big surprise, little Yuan. ” “The customers are really blessed,” said Zhou Shijie.
On the other side, Chu Xiao’s pupils also shrank. He had a feeling that he was falling behind more and more, and even the taillights of the car were almost out of sight.
“Thank you for the compliment, uncle Zhou.” “I’ve put in a lot of effort in developing this dish. I hope uncle Zhou will like it,”said Yuan Zhou.
Zhou Shijie nodded his head and started to taste the dish. As Yuan Zhou had specially asked him to taste the dish, he had to be a little more serious.
“The fragrance is quite good. There should be some plum sauce added during the roasting.” Zhou Shijie didn’t move his chopsticks immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and smelled the food.
The color, smell, and taste were already visible to the naked eye. The dark reddish-brown outer skin was glossy and glossy. No matter if it was the parts that needed more heat or the parts that needed less heat, they all looked just right. The color was tempting, natural, and perfect.
Fragrant. Zhou Shijie could smell the sour and astringent taste of the green plum at once. Coupled with the pure fragrance of meat, it was fascinating.
The next step was the taste.
He stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. That’s right, it was a piece. Nobody knew when Yuan Zhou had cut the suckling pig into pieces. Of course, before he picked it up, it was definitely in the shape of a whole pig. But after he used his strength, the suckling pig that was originally placed together instantly collapsed like dominoes.
“Although I praised it a lot, this dish can’t be overrated no matter how much I praise it. Its cutting skills are excellent.” Zhou Shijie had previously felt that Yuan Zhou’s cutting skills were at their peak when he was dissecting an ox like a butcher.
But today, Zhou Shijie found that Yuan Zhou’s peak period was actually Yuan Zhou’s normal period, or even better.
Yuan’s roast suckling pig had a distinctive feature, unlike the Cantonese roast suckling pig or the current common roast suckling pig that had dipping sauce.
Yes, there was no dipping sauce.
“Ka Cha!”
Zhou Shijie put it in his mouth and bit it. The first thing he touched was the tough skin. The skin of many roasted suckling pigs was either dry and burnt. He couldn’t bite it or it was too much. There was no meaty taste at all. It felt like he was chewing foam.
However, the skin of the yuan’s roast suckling pig was different. It was chewy, soft, and tough. It was very delicious. It had the smoothness of jelly and the chewiness of meat. It was completely different from a roast suckling pig.
The skin was already amazing, and the meat was even more amazing. Near the skin, there was a little bit of fat, which had the unique fat. When matched with the soft and tender lean meat, it was juicy and spread out with a sip. The fragrance of meat filled the mouth. Just when you felt a little greasy, a taste mixed with green plums and mint spread in the mouth, perfectly combining the rich meat taste, making it feel like a fresh wind blew in the mouth.
“I think I can eat a pig by myself without any problem.” Zhou Shijie muttered in his heart.
His hand movements weren’t slow either. He ate a piece of meat with a pair of chopsticks and enjoyed it very much. He had originally wanted to let Zhou Xi eat with the barbecued pork before eating so that he could finish a whole pig.
Otherwise, it would be difficult if they couldn’t finish it. But who was this roasted pork now? Zhou Shijie indicated that he could eat all of them.
In fact, Zhou Shijie was thinking too much. It was impossible for Yuan Zhou to make such a mistake. The small fragrant pig provided by the system was only 10 Jin and that was still considered a complete one. After a series of cleaning and removing the feathers, the internal organs, the bones, and the marinating, there wasn’t much meat. It was just enough for an adult to eat.
Although Zhou Shijie was old, he still remembered to taste the meat while eating. His speed was really fast. The meat on the plate was reduced rapidly. After another 20 minutes, the plate was empty.
There was nothing on it, not even a single oil stain. It could be seen how deep Yuan Zhou’s Foundation was.
“This is really my biological father.”
Zhou Xiqing was drooling. He was looking at his father eating the meat piece by piece. He did not think about his own son who was sitting next to him.
“No, I can’t take it anymore. I want to order a serving later.” Zhou Xi said.
When Zhou Shijie saw Yuan Zhou come out with a dish, he also put down his chopsticks. He had already confirmed that there was no meat residue left.
“The taste is quite outstanding. It’s fat but not greasy, and it’s meaty but not dry. This dish can be said to be the Three Peaks of knife skill, taste, and fire control.” Zhou Shijie stroked his chin contentedly.
“It’s good that uncle Zhou is satisfied. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“What’s there to be dissatisfied with a dish like Yuan’s roast suckling pig? I can’t find any flaws. ” Zhou Shijie said.
“There’s a selection of private home cuisine every year. Little Yuan, do you want to participate this year?” Zhou Shijie asked again.
“Not for the time being. At present, there is only one Yuan family dish, and there is an exchange between China and France this year and the bogus world cooking competition, so I may not have much time.” Yuan Zhou said.
Zhou Shijie also nodded his head. He couldn’t let Yuan Zhou be too tired. After all, Yuan Zhou was definitely the most precious treasure to the Chinese cooking circle.
