Chapter 2576: Dragon-body Phoenix-tail shrimpTranslator: 549690339

He probably knew Zhan Changfa’s intentions, so he ordered the two dishes together-Phoenix-tail prawns and Dragon Phoenix-tail prawns.
To be honest, one was a Jinling dish while the other was a Fujian dish. The cooking method was naturally different. Relatively speaking, the Phoenix-tail shrimp was more exquisite.
In particular, Yuan Zhou’s cutting skills had improved. Whether it was a parasol tree or a parasol flower, the word “remarkably similar” was not enough to describe it. It could be said that it looked like a real flower. Not only did it have the shape, but somehow, it also had a little fragrance of the parasol flower. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was a miniature version on the plate, one would really think that they had seen the legendary Grand occasion of a Phoenix resting on a parasol tree.
The green peas were like the leaves of the Phoenix, and they looked very delicate.
On the other hand, the Dragon body Phoenix-tail shrimp was the result of deep-frying ham and shrimp to form a shape. The body was like a dragon, and the tail was like a phoenix. In fact, one could tell the specific appearance of this dish from the name.
Zhan Changfa deeply felt that this dish of their min cuisine really lived up to its name. It seemed to be a cross-breed of dragon and phoenix. It was born with this shape, and not later made with ham and shrimp tail. The natural beauty of the carving was really shocking.
At the very least, even the inheritor of this dish, Qu Yun, had not been able to produce such an effect. This was no longer a simple dish. Qu Yun had also made it very vividly, but there was always a hint of craftsmanship in it that reminded people that this was all man-made.
However, Yuan Zhou’s prawns were different. He didn’t have such concerns at all. Just like the Phoenix-tail prawns just now, they seemed to be born like this and didn’t have any traces of artificial sculpting.
“Which of these two dishes do you think looks better?” Zhan Changfa couldn’t figure it out himself, so he began to ask Xiang Yang and Wu kun.
Wu kun and Xiang Yang’s eyes were almost glued to the two dishes. They really hated that their parents didn’t give them a pair of eyes. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to look at the tail of the Phoenix and the body of the Dragon without delay....
Hearing Zhan Changfa’s question, it took them a while to understand what he was asking.
Xiang Yang’s usual dull expression was replaced by one of shock as he stared at Zhan Changfa with his eyes wide open,””President, I don’t want to say this, but aren’t you being a little too arrogant? what are you thinking when you let Kunzi and I judge the dishes of our future master?”
“Let’s not talk about this. Look at these two beautiful dishes. How are they going to decide the winner?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Xiang Yang was afraid that his saliva would fly into the dish and affect the taste, he would have performed a spittle flying show to Zhan Changfa. He was obviously a little excited.
Then, Zhan Changfa said expressionlessly,”there are only two dishes left.”
After saying that, he quickly reached out with his chopsticks and picked up a prawn without any hesitation. He then put it into his mouth and started working.
At this time, Xiang Yang saw that just when he was pained by President Yu Zhan’s boldness, his good brother directly started to fight. He ate a shrimp on one side, and it was quite even. It felt like no one was at a disadvantage.
He didn’t have time to reflect on whether their Brotherhood was fake from the beginning or when it began to change qualitatively, so he quickly joined the ranks of shrimp-eating.
Subconsciously, he chose the Dragon-body Phoenix-tail prawns of Fujian cuisine first. Because it had been deep-fried and shaped, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With the seasonal vegetables, it was fresh and natural, which highlighted the sweet taste of the prawn meat.
In order to match the meaning of dragon body and Phoenix tail, Yuan Zhou chose the flower style of auspicious clouds. It was like a huge Dragon that soared straight into the nine Heavens. Its lofty body penetrated the clouds, but its tail was also like the tail of a Phoenix, swaying freely. With its bright color and luster, it looked like a dragon yet not a Dragon, like a phoenix yet not a Phoenix, giving it an indescribable beautiful artistic conception.
With the actions of a few people, the overall layout was destroyed, but it was impossible to affect the taste.
From not having the heart to destroy the overall appearance to enjoying it with just a few words, it was impossible to not have the elegant and fresh fragrance constantly attract people’s attention. It really made people feel embarrassed not to eat.
After eating the Dragon Phoenix-tail prawns, Xiang Yang naturally aimed for the Phoenix-tail prawns. Unlike the Dragon Phoenix-tail prawns, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the prawns of the Jinling cuisine really brought out the freshness and tenderness to the extreme. It was so fresh and sweet that it was unbelievable. Anyway, Xiang Yang had never known that the seemingly tasteless prawns could be so rich and sweet.
The taste was completely different, but it was still very delicious. There were only eight prawns on each plate, and two dishes only had sixteen. Each person had five prawns and only one was left. Although Wu kun had quietly taken the lead, no one was slow in the face of delicious food.
If he was really slow, he probably couldn’t blame anyone for his hand being crippled.
The three of them finished off their five prawns almost at the same time and had their eyes on the last one.
If a shrimp could speak, it would definitely say,’don’t stare at it like that, it’s a little squishy’.
Everyone wanted to eat it, but the three pairs of eyes stared at it for a long time without reaching a consensus. Therefore, they all reached out their chopsticks at the same time to pick at three places on the tail of the shrimp.
“Pa”
With a crisp sound, each person quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it into their mouths. No one was at a disadvantage. Anyway, no matter how much it was, they all ate a little.
“Tsk, you should have prepared 10 to 20 prawns. Only 30 per plate would be enough. Eight is too little.” Zhan Changfa shook his head, extremely dissatisfied with the number of prawns.
To put it bluntly, he really felt that he had only tasted a little bit of it and it was gone. This feeling of being unable to go up and down was really uncomfortable.
“Although you’re the master, the portion of this dish is indeed a little small. Even the amount of roe deer just now was too small.” Xiang Yang said.
Wu kun blinked his eyes and didn’t join in. Although he agreed in his heart, he had his eyes on the next dish that was about to come.
He had the most sensitive nose among the three of them, so the moment the dish came out of the kitchen, he could already smell it before anyone else could. He couldn’t wait to turn his head and look.
The portion was small, but how could it be more important than the next dish? moreover, he was the one who ordered the dish, so he was naturally more familiar with it.
Sure enough, Wu kun turned his head and saw the plate getting closer and closer to him. Zhan Changfa and Zhan Yunfei, who were affected by Wu kun’s actions, also smelled the fragrance.
The main reason was that not only was Wu kun familiar with this dish, but Xiang Yang and the other two were also familiar with it. It was well-deserved to be the dish of the min province celebratory banquet and was an indispensable dish. Naturally, it had a high appearance rate.
Many people knew how to do it, but as the old saying went, everyone knowing how to do it and being proficient were two different concepts.
Theoretically speaking, this dish only had a few difficulties and could be considered as an easy dish. However, when the fish lips with rice and meat cooked by Yuan Zhou was carried to the table, they realized that sometimes, the difference between the two dishes could not be distinguished by the difficulty.
All three of them knew how to cook this dish. It wasn’t easy for them to mess it up with their cooking skills. However, after seeing this dish, they still felt that they really only knew how to cook it in the past.
