Chapter 366 The image of the omnipotent boss is shattered
"I think so too! How about packing a portion for Nie Xiuqi?" Su Yuchen took several sips before putting down the bowl.
Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the aunt who was serving dishes, running to the cashier, and helping to collect plates, as well as the waiters running back and forth, "Forget it, we have to ask them to buy more fish. They seem to be very busy, and the soup is not easy to carry. Drink a few more sips while it's hot, remember the taste, and go back to study it later."
Su Yuchen nodded and filled another bowl.
Zhao Xiaojing tasted the difference carefully while looking at the soup bowl.
The fish soup here is whiter and is not made from chicken soup. It tastes like fish soup. Although it lacks the richness of chicken soup, it seems to be just as good.
The fish soup plus fish meat tastes fresh and slightly sweet. The white vinegar is added just right, which brings out the aroma, but it does not dominate the fish soup, it just serves as a good foil.
Moreover, the fish meat was not broken into pieces, but rather in strips and was tender, and it was obviously not steamed.
Although the system says that the shredded ham inside is not of high quality, the taste after processing is better than Nie Xiuqi's version. Moreover, a layer of shredded ham is sprinkled on the soup surface and is cut into thin pieces, which looks very good. It is just right to stir it into the soup when drinking.
Since the restaurant is not big and the prices are not high, this bowl of Song Sao Fish Soup only costs 1, 2, 8, which is really the conscience of the industry.
"Do you want to have some staple food? Do you want to order a few more dishes?" Zhao Xiaojing nudged Su Yuchen with her elbow.
"Eating staple food? There are two shops behind you, make room for yourself! I'm half full after drinking the soup." Su Yuchen glared.
Although the two of them had already eaten two meals, Zhao Xiaojing planned to eat at four restaurants, so neither of them dared to eat the staple food. Even the dishes they ordered were mostly packed up, leaving only two dishes for themselves.
"Eat without worry, we won't go to the next two restaurants." Zhao Xiaojing smiled and patted Su Yuchen, "Order whatever you want, this restaurant is pretty good, it's rare, I'm quite satisfied, you don't need to go to the next two restaurants, order now."
"Okay, I think this one is delicious too." Su Yuchen quickly pulled over the menu, "Waiter, add more dishes!"
……
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they had enough food and drink. They had thought that since they were already here, they might as well go shopping in Yucheng, but with four large plastic bags of vegetables to carry, they looked at each other and unanimously decided not to go shopping with the food boxes.
Let’s go back to Jiangcheng first. We can come back next time at worst.
After returning to the restaurant and having lunch and a short nap, the three chefs started working in the kitchen when they saw the two men coming back with four large bags of snacks and dishes. They just looked at them curiously but no one could finish them, so they had to temporarily put them on the dining table in the hall.
Yun Yongyuan originally wanted to pull Zhao Xiaojing to watch him fry the stir-fried double crispy dishes again, but Zhao Xiaojing had eaten the authentic Song Sao fish soup at noon and was thinking about it. So, she made an excuse to take a nap and ran away with Su Yuchen.
Zhao Xiaojing originally wanted to go back to the virtual space to study directly, but then she remembered that Nie Xiuqi was still waiting, and he happened to be there too, so she said goodbye to Su Yuchen who went back to take a nap, and rushed to the vegetable market without stopping.
There were no fresh fish left in this supermarket, so Zhao Xiaojing looked around and finally bought four sea bass from the fresh produce section of the supermarket.
"Yes, fish soup, this is the original soup made from the original food!" After returning to the restaurant, Zhao Xiaojing told Yun Yongyuan about her discovery today, and Yun Yongyuan smiled and clapped his hands.
Zhao Xiaojing had originally just told Nie Xiuqi about her findings and ideas, wanting to study them together. But as soon as she walked up to Nie Xiuqi and started talking, the other two came over very seriously, as if they were about to discuss something together.
"Then should we try fish soup? Or fish soup and chicken soup?" Wan Yuyue said excitedly.
"I think we should try both! Who knows which one will be better." Yun Yongyuan got excited.
"What do you think?" Zhao Xiaojing looked helplessly at the two people who were too lively, then turned to look at Nie Xiuqi who was too dull.
"Try the fish soup first?" Nie Xiuqi asked.
"Then try it."
The two of them started working right away. Zhao Xiaojing was in charge of butchering the fish and slicing the fish jerky, tasks that she was already familiar with and didn't need further practice, while Nie Xiuqi handled the auxiliary ingredients.
After killing this fish, Nie Xiuqi's other side ingredients were also prepared.
"Steam it or shred it?" Nie Xiuqi looked at the fish jerky hesitantly.
"Steam half using the original method, and cut the other half using his method. Try both and make small portions. You steam it, which will be more stable, and I'll cut it."
Nie Xiuqi nodded, picked up a piece of fish jerky, and marinated it in the same way as before, occasionally glancing at Zhao Xiaojing as she was shredding it.
Zhao Xiaojing picked up another piece of fish jerky and looked at it several times. After thinking for a while, she put the fish jerky on the chopping board and continued to slice the fish with a flat knife. She sliced off the fish skin and a small amount of fish bones at the bottom, then sliced out the boneless part of the fish belly from the top, cut it into fish fillets, and then cut it into strips of similar thickness according to her memory.
"Don't you want this piece? Don't you have enough shreds?" The boneless fish belly that was sliced off was only a small piece. Wan Yuyue turned over the remaining fish breast. Not only was there the bottom part with the fish skin and small bones that were sliced off, but there was also a large piece of fish meat with slanting bones in the middle.
"Well, let me try." Zhao Xiaojing took the remaining fish jerky with some hesitation.
After a few cuts, Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan were more serious than each other, their mouths tightened and their eyes widened. Nie Xiuqi also turned his head frequently, his mouth twitching, and Zhao Xiaojing's face became darker and darker. She silently picked up the cut fish shreds, put them at the bottom of the bowl, and barely covered them with the other half of the fish shreds. "Ahem, this is my first time cutting fish shreds..."
"Hahahahaha!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Yun Yongyuan and Wan Yuyue finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Even though Zhao Xiaojing was an expert in knife skills and had cooked fish countless times, she still didn't know the internal structure of fish like the back of her hand. The palm-sized fish jerky, with tender meat and small, fragile bones, eventually became a mess of broken meat strips under Zhao Xiaojing's knife.
"You have come to this day!" Wan Yuyue laughed wildly, not forgetting to show off. "It's so shredded, if you don't know, you would think it was pawed by a cat!"
Zhao Xiaojing took a deep breath and silently said to herself that at least she was safe after shaving off all the thorns, which was better than cutting even the small thorns in neatly.
This is a food safety issue. This is a food safety issue. This is a food safety issue.
"You take care of the shredded fish. I'll cook the fish soup." Zhao Xiaojing was mentally prepared for a long time before finally trying to block out the two of them. She carried the bowl of shredded fish and walked over to Nie Xiuqi, who was adjusting the heat to steam the fish.
"Pfft." Nie Xiuqi, who took the fish thread, couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed softly.
Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan laughed even harder.
The last straw that broke the camel's back for Zhao Xiaojing was late, but not absent.
The image of a serious, skilled and omnipotent boss was finally shattered.
