Chapter 66 This is the ancestral recipe

"I'll try it too."

Seeing that Lu Jinsheng had his eyes closed and didn't speak for a long time, but his lips moved slightly, as if he was still tasting the fish head with chopped pepper, Lu Shuyao couldn't help it at this time.

She took a step forward, smiled at Jiang Yu, and took a pair of chopsticks from the side. She first picked a small piece of fish into the dish her grandfather cooked and put it into her mouth.

The fish meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth as soon as you take a sip, and your mouth is filled with the delicious taste of the fish head itself. This delicious taste is mixed with the fresh and spicy flavor of chopped pepper, which makes all the taste buds in the mouth come alive.

"Grandpa is really a treasure trove. He hasn't cooked in person for so long, but the food he cooks is still so delicious."

Lu Shuyao's heart was full of joy. She thought so in her heart, took another piece of fish and tasted it, then took the cold boiled drink that Lu Shuwu poured for her, rinsed her mouth, and commented,

"The fish head with chopped pepper made by my grandpa is bright in color and rich in aroma. It makes people very appetizing as soon as it is served.

Logically speaking, for such a big bighead carp, the fish meat is very thick, not easy to taste, and the taste will not be that good.

But grandpa handled it very well and controlled the heat just right. Not only did he retain the umami flavor of the ingredients, but the fish meat was so tender and smooth that it melted in your mouth.

The fried chopped peppers are fragrant and spicy, but they don't overwhelm the dish. Instead, they blend well into the flavor of the fish.

Hu Zhihai and others didn't think 9 points was good, but Lu Chunming and Lu Shuwu, father and son, looked at Lu Shuyao in surprise.

"Then it's settled!"

No way, he doesn't like reading as much as Lu Shuyao, and he has such a rich vocabulary to describe food from all aspects.

Although Lu Shuwu was full of joy, he still lowered his head and answered honestly.

But when I ate the fish head with chopped peppers that you made, a long-lost desire arose in my heart, and I was eager to take another bite. It felt like I was back to the time I felt when I first tasted this dish.

"

"Well, Grandpa Lu, can we start eating?"

He is just a foodie, and "holding the grass" is enough to express the deliciousness of the food!

After wolfing down the fish in his mouth, Lu Shuwu planned to take another bite, but was stopped by Lu Shuyao. She glared at her unreliable second brother and said angrily:

"Grandpa, you..."

Jiang Yu smiled, stepped aside, raised his hand and said, "Please do it."

Lu Jinsheng readily agreed.

Lu Shuyao looked at her grandfather in surprise. She didn't expect that her grandfather, who always looked above his head and refused to accept anyone, would actually say such words. It was simply unbelievable.

"Why are you so anxious? Boss Xiao Jiang hasn't even used his chopsticks yet!"

By the way, if Xiao Wu stays here with you, would you like to teach him how to cook Hunan cuisine?"

"Really? Then I won't ask."

What's more, it was only with the support of the system that I was able to create such a taste that even the culinary masters praised. Others did not have the assistance of the system, so the dishes they produced might not necessarily achieve this effect.

But now, Lu Shuyao gave her grandpa's fish head with chopped pepper a 9-point rating, which shows that this dish is indeed very good, even surpassing Lu Jinsheng's previous level.

Jiang Yu also thought about it during this period. Although the formula of the system is very important, people are more important. The same formula may taste completely different if another person makes it.

In terms of taste, the fish meat is also fresh and tender, but at the same time, it also has a hint of toughness, which prevents the fish meat from melting in the mouth and has a rich layered texture.

When Lu Jinsheng saw it, he burst out laughing:

"Boss Xiao Jiang, can I try your cooking?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yu waved his hands and said,

"It's been less than a month since I opened the store. Although I occasionally make this fish head with chopped pepper, I really don't make it much. It's really not as exaggerated as you and Junior Sister Lu said."

For this fish head with chopped peppers, grandpa has maintained a consistently high standard. If the full score is 10, I will give this dish 9 points!"

In addition, the marinated fish head has both the deliciousness of the fish itself and the spiciness of the chopped pepper. The two blend together without being confused. Instead, it is like some kind of wonderful chemical reaction has occurred, creating a wonderful flavor.

The taste makes people want to take a second bite after one bite.”

These words made Jiang Yu extremely embarrassed. He had been glad that this dish didn't require knife skills, but he didn't expect that Lu Jinsheng would see the truth with just one cut.

This girl has a keen sense of taste and her requirements for food are almost demanding. So far, only her grandfather and Mr. Zhang Bingkun from the "Shu Xianglou" in Sichuan can get food with a score of more than 8.5 from her mouth.

"Eat, everyone eats!"

"I got it, Grandpa."

When Hu Zhihai and others heard this, they immediately cheered, picked up their chopsticks and ran towards the stove:

In terms of ingredients, this dish contains extra perilla.

"At least it's 9.5 points! I deduct 0.5 points from you because I'm worried about your pride!"

"What exaggeration? I am so old, do I still need to lie?"

Lu Jinsheng smacked his lips, as if recalling the taste he had just tasted. He glanced at Jiang Yu and said meaningfully,

"By the way, your chopped pepper fish head tastes so good. In addition to perilla, there must be other ingredients added. Unfortunately, I tasted it for a long time and couldn't find out what the ingredients are..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Jinsheng, who had kept his eyes closed and did not move, suddenly spoke. He seemed very happy and burst out laughing.

After mixing perilla and chopped pepper, it can not only slightly reduce the spiciness of the chopped pepper, but also enhance the freshness and remove the fishy smell, making the aroma of this dish more intense.

After a while, she breathed out softly and commented thoughtfully:

"The fish head with chopped pepper made by boss Xiaojiang is comparable to the dish made by grandpa in terms of color and aroma. They are indistinguishable.

"Xiao Wu, since you want to stay here, then you should stay and work hard and study hard. You have grown up and you can no longer act like you did before."

I have eaten too much of this dish in my life. No matter who made it in the past, I would only eat one or two bites at most, and I would not want to eat any more.

Lu Jinsheng nodded understandingly and did not feel regretful at all. People in his lifetime knew better than young people that the ancestral recipe should not be passed down to others.

After Lu Shuwu heard this, his hand movements froze, he turned to look at Jiang Yu, smiled coquettishly, and had no choice but to shrink back.

In this case, what does it matter if he teaches Lu Shuwu how to cook a few dishes?

However, even if he wanted to teach him how to cook, Jiang Yu couldn't teach him now. He said,

"I also have a condition. Xiao Wu must stay with me for at least one year. After one year, I will teach him how to cook based on the situation."

"Grandpa Lu, you really deserve the award. I really can't bear it."

Look, the fish head you cut in half is a bit asymmetrical. Fortunately, this is a steamed dish. If it is stir-fried, the thickness of the meat will be uneven. Then half of the fried meat will be just cooked and the other half will be too old to bite.

move?"

On the other side, Lu Shuyao stopped Lu Shuwu who was about to feast, then walked to Jiang Yu and asked with a smile:

"If he wants to learn, I will teach him."

Everyone turned around and saw Hu Zhihai standing there with an aggrieved look on his face, stroking his stomach and glancing at the two large plates of fish heads with chopped peppers placed next to the stove from time to time.

He thought to himself that when he was waiting to start eating later, he must move quickly because the fat man opposite him could eat better than him!

Thinking about this, Lu Shuwu couldn't help but glance towards Hu Zhihai, and sure enough, he saw Hu Zhihai staring at him hatefully, as if the bite of meat he had just eaten was snatched from his mouth.

"Boss Xiao Jiang, this fish head with chopped peppers really makes me feel ashamed.

He is still in good health and can afford to wait for a year. If Lu Shuwu is unwilling to stay here or there are other circumstances, he can still take him home and teach him cooking skills.

Jiang Yu bit the bullet and said, "Well, this is an ancestral recipe..."

Lu Jinsheng frowned, obviously a little angry, but after thinking about it, he still said,

“But, Boss Xiaojiang, your chopped pepper fish head tastes really good, but your knife skills are a bit poor!

"Let me try it!"

But when the time comes, if Lu Shuwu is still unwilling to learn, I'm afraid Lu Jinsheng will really use his family's methods.

At this time, Lu Shuwu couldn't help it anymore. He walked forward in a few steps, picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as he took the entrance, his eyes suddenly widened and he whimpered.

shouted,

"Zhoucao! This dish grandpa made is even more delicious than before!"

He turned around and looked at Lu Shuwu, and said seriously,

"This basic skill is something a chef must practice. If you master it well, the taste of this dish will at least be taken to a higher level!"

Lu Shuyao pursed her lips and smiled, leaned over and looked at it carefully for a while, then stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a small piece of fish, put it into her mouth, and tasted it carefully.

As soon as Lu Shuwu finished speaking, a weak voice came from the corner:

You know, Mr. Zhang is also a dean of Sichuan cuisine just like Lu Jinsheng.

He raised his hand and patted Jiang Yu's shoulder and said,

"You are very good. If you practice your basic skills more, your future will be unlimited.

"Yes, yes, I still need to practice this basic cooking skill."

Speaking of this, Lu Shuyao looked up at Jiang Yu with a complicated expression.

"If I were asked to give a rating for this fish head with chopped pepper made by Boss Xiaojiang, I would give it..."

"Ouch, don't squeeze, you may knock over the dishes!"

"Fuck! Slow down, you're not afraid of choking!"

"Leave the fish mouth to me! Leave the fish mouth to me!"

"..."
