Chapter 1558: A smart race
Chapter 1558: A smart race
Just as Yuan Zhou had said, they soon felt the charm of the Chinese cabbage sour.
For example, the dish Yuan Zhou made at the river Wu on the map was the river Wu tofu fish. There seemed to be a beautiful and clear river Wu on the plate, and there were two fish slices and a piece of tender white tofu in the river Wu, which was very suitable for the scene.
As for the landmark of Qingyan County, the top-notch gourmet champion hoof, Yuan Zhou had specially prepared the bones, leaving only the tendons and meat. After all, many regions in foreign countries didn’t have the habit of gnawing on the bones.
For example, many places overseas didn’t eat fish because they didn’t know how to spit out bones. River fish had many bones.
As he needed to show off a cuisine in a day, Yuan Zhou divided it into noon and afternoon. For lunch, Yuan Zhou used five Guizhou dishes as the main course, which were all five of the well-known top 10 Sichuan dishes and some dishes of other ethnic groups.
As for the dinner, he served five of the other ten famous dishes. Of course, the huajiang dog meat was replaced by another mountain Treasure.
The taste of these dishes was completely different according to time and place, but they all had one characteristic, that was, they were all mainly sour. However, this sour taste included the acids of various ethnic groups in Guizhou cuisine, such as Miao acid, Dong acid, Shui acid, bu Yi acid, and so on.
The sourness of each type of sourness was divided into high sourness soup, top sourness soup, double sourness soup, clear sourness soup, thick sourness soup, and so on according to the different types of soup. Sour chicken soup, sour fish soup, sour shrimp soup, sour meat soup, sour egg soup, sour tofu soup, sour spicy horn soup, sour vegetable soup, and so on.
It could be said that there was nothing in Guizhou cuisine that couldn’t be mixed with sour soup. All kinds of sourness and ingredients were arranged clearly in Yuan Zhou’s hands.
“Oh my God, every dish had a different taste yesterday, and it’s different today. Each dish has a sour taste. Head chef Yuan doesn’t seem like a chef, but more like a mage. Can sour really be divided into so many types?” Augustus tasted the dishes one by one in surprise. His face was full of surprise and disbelief.
As a group of top chefs, their tongues were naturally very good. Moreover, the sourness and taste displayed by Yuan Zhou were quite different.
To understand it, foreigners were still lacking in words to praise people, unlike China where all handsome men could be handsome, extraordinary, and dignified…
The mage Auguste had mentioned was already the highest evaluation.
“Impeccable cooking skills. Even if I don’t like sour food, I can’t be picky. This is a surprise, a surprise.” Manfeld also exclaimed.
“I don’t think there’s any other problem besides the small amount.” “I never thought that sour could be the main taste of a banquet,” Francis continued after a pause.
“Guizhou cuisine uses acid instead of salt. None of the dishes here have salt.” Chu Xiao savored it slowly.
It could be said that the atmosphere was very harmonious, but at this moment, someone suddenly spoke.
“I think I should remind you that this is the dinner for the third day of the cooking exhibition, and tomorrow is the last day.” The one who said this was ogyust’s nemesis, Salomon, who rarely spoke.
Manfeld was speechless.
Chu Xiao was “…”
Francis was speechless.
“…” Ogyust was speechless at first, then he said to Salomon in a bad mood,””That’s why I don’t like your personality. You say inappropriate things at inappropriate times.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” Salomon shrugged his shoulders, not minding at all.
The insiders looked at the tricks while the outsiders watched the fun. Yuan Zhou’s sour cooking skills not only amazed the foreign chefs, but also the famous chefs in China.
For example, Colin was eating every dish with a serious expression. He didn’t say a word, but his expression was full of satisfaction and pride.
As for the politicians, they were once again shocked by Zhou Shijie’s professional commentary.
“These dishes are all cooked using the ancient methods of Guizhou cuisine. There is no salt in these dishes at all. The specialty of Qiangang cuisine is to replace salt with acid.” Zhou Shijie said.
Upon hearing Zhou Shijie’s words, the politicians in the office exclaimed in surprise one after another.
“Is there really no salt?” Prime Minister Fiji carefully chewed the dish and found that there was no taste of salt.
When he first heard Chu Xiao say that, he thought that he wanted to reduce the amount of salt. He didn’t expect that he didn’t even have a single grain.
“It’s so delicious without salt, and it’s completely different from the sourness in our country. Obviously, the chefs in our country are not serious in the field of gourmet food.” The Prince of Thailand sighed as well, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the chef beside him.
The Thailand chef lowered his head, wondering why he had been shot without doing anything.
“Actually, this is because the Guizhou region in China has never produced salt since ancient times, which is why such a unique food culture has been formed.” Department head Hao said slowly after everyone’s shock subsided.
“This is truly amazing.” The Japanese cabinet minister, who was surrounded by the sea, said in surprise.
“The Chinese are very smart. It’s hard to imagine that they used acid to replace salt when they didn’t have it. While they followed nature, they could also create many flavors. They’re really an Amazing Race.” The Vice-President of Vietnam nodded his head seriously.
The difference between ethnic groups could be seen from the way they ate.
“It must be a beautiful place to be able to develop so many delicacies without salt.” The Prince of Thailand said with emotion.
After knowing the reason, the politicians of the other countries were not only surprised but also impressed.
After all, salt was something that couldn’t be missing for even a day. It was just that salt was too easy to obtain in the modern era, so many people didn’t think much of it.
However, these politicians in high positions naturally knew the importance of salt.
“The wisdom of the working people is infinite.” He Zhenghong said with a smile.
“Yes, I think so.” The politicians on the India side nodded and chimed in.
“But I feel that head chef Yuan’s cooking skills are endless. I’m already looking forward to what kind of delicacies I can enjoy tomorrow.” Prime Minister Fiji said with a smile.
“I definitely won’t let you down. You should know that there are many Chinese cuisines. Head chef Yuan has only displayed three of them.” Department head Hao also said with a smile.
“Yes. There are eight major Chinese cuisines, not including other cuisines. For example, the Guizhou cuisine that everyone is eating today.” He Zhenghong pointed at everyone’s empty plates and said.
I think we can strengthen the friendship between Thailand and China. Our two countries should exchange cooking and food culture more.” The Prince of Thailand said.
With the Prince of Thailand speaking first, the politicians of other countries also smiled and said that they wanted to strengthen the cultural and cooking exchange between countries.
Department head Hao and he Zhenghong looked at each other, then smiled and said, “That’s only natural. “
Just like that, the third day came to an end when everyone marveled at Yuan Zhou’s usage of the acid and the other purposes he achieved.
As usual, Yuan Zhou stood in his own open kitchen and watched them leave. The crowd had already gotten used to this and soon left one after another.
Except for master Cheng, there was one more person who stayed at the end of the exhibition today. It was Wu Hai, who had been acting mysteriously since the culinary exhibition started.
