Chapter 17
Chapter 17
Zuo Danqiu heard this news from her sick uncle.She came here with a skeptical attitude, but because she hadn't written anything new for a long time in her food column recently, she wanted to see if she could find some inspiration here.Zhou Shudi's previous Zhudao restaurant had been to her before, and the taste was good, at the level of an excellent fifth-level chef, but that's all.
The way Cui Mingxu and the others ordered every dish quickly attracted the attention of others.They all have a copy of the menu of the dining hall. During the trial opening period, only ten dishes are served every day, but the total cost is tens of thousands of stars. These young people are really willing to do so!
But they are also very curious, especially the steamed saury, which is so expensive that no one cares about it. They don't know what is so special about it.Among the people present, apart from Zhou Shudi, only Qin Kai had eaten this dish and understood its beauty, even Huo Xuan had no chance to taste it.As a dish that is very good for spiritual power, Zhou Jinnan will make a separate portion for Qin Kai from time to time. Huo Xuan only knows that this dish is good for spiritual power, but Huo Xuan is not clear about its specific effect .And its function is why Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi have positioned it as the only signature dish that will not change during the trial opening week.
Although they didn't expect people to order this dish so soon, both Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi are very clear that as long as the effect of this spiritual food dish spreads, even if the price is doubled and then doubled, there will be people flocking to it.
Zhou Shudi deliberately wanted to increase the weight of this miraculous spiritual food, so Zhou Jinnan was asked to serve this dish at the end.When Zhou Shudi saw Zuo Danqiu in the restaurant, he felt more at ease and confident. With the presence of a famous reporter, the reputation of this dish would spread faster than he expected.Tomorrow, the trial operation will be completely different, right?Zhou Shudi thought to himself.
The other dishes that Cui Mingxu ordered were served by robots one after another.A series of delicious delicacies are beautifully arranged on the plate, full of color, fragrance and taste, and the visual impact of all of them is doubled.Cui Mingxu was the first to move his chopsticks. What he was looking for was garlic-flavored eel segments. Each eel segment was half the length of a finger, which was exactly one mouthful. The eel meat was fresh and tender, and the dry-stir-fried cooking method made the eel segments crispy. , exuding a slight burnt aroma, the taste of garlic has never been liked by Cui Mingxu, but this dish handles the garlic just right. Only then did Cui Mingxu understand the saying in the food industry that "there are no unpalatable ingredients, only those who can't cook them." what does "cook" mean.
One of the reasons why Min Ziqian was willing to come to this restaurant with Cui Mingxu was because he wanted to see the extraordinary chef Zhou with his own eyes. It would be even better if he could make friends with him or even find him in his own restaurant.Therefore, after serving the dishes, he did not move his chopsticks immediately, but instead rated the dishes in his mind from the perspective of a chef.
The first dish he chose was the well-known traditional dish of Longjing Shrimp. The Longjing Shrimp served is placed in the center of a blue-white corrugated square plate. Each shrimp is very complete and is crystal clear jade white. They are all the best Mingqian Longjing bud tips, and the fresh and tender green color still retains the perfect color after being fried out of the pan, without any sign of yellowing.The freshness of the shrimp and the aroma of Longjing complement each other. The shrimp is smooth and slightly elastic, and it is full of the fragrance of tea leaves, which brings the freshness of this dish to the extreme.
The Longjing Shrimp made by his grandfather was even higher quality. Min Ziqian could tell the difference after taking a sip, and his anticipation for Zhou Jinnan was even higher in his heart.The color of the soup is clear, the lotus is white and red, and the pink, glutinous and slightly sweet lotus seeds are floating in the clear soup, which is really gratifying.
From the very beginning, Tao Bo didn't have much expectations for this trip to relax. He was worried about something hidden in his heart. Min Ziqian and Cui Mingxu's insistence on pulling him together showed that he had something on his mind.But he didn't want to tell his friends to make them worry about him in vain, so under the contradiction between the two, Tao Bo's mood became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't even arouse his interest in the dishes in front of him that would make people's index fingers twitch.Although... the aroma of these delicacies makes me hungry just by smelling them, they must all be delicacies that can soothe the spirit.
"Brother Tao, what's the matter with you? You have such a bitter face after eating such delicious food," Cui Mingxu asked with a happy face holding a piece of rose yogurt in his right hand. His trip was indeed not in vain!
Tao Bo glanced at Cui Mingxu: "You foodie, what else do you know besides eating?"
"The last dish, steamed saury, please use it slowly. This dish is best eaten while it is hot. The chef said that the shorter the cooking time, the better the effect." The service robot served the last dish with a good attitude, and did not forget Tell Cui Mingxu and the others.
On the oval porcelain plate, which was bigger than all the plates on the table, the saury, which was over a foot long, held its head up and flicked its tail, looking imposing, as if it was still alive.There was nothing on the whole plate except the body of the fish and the dipping sauce dripping from under the belly of the fish.
Even Cui Mingxu, who has blind trust in the delicious food of Jushanlou, was a little stunned when he saw such a simple presentation, let alone other people.This dish doesn't seem to be as exquisite as the rose custard in his mouth, but it is actually the most expensive among the ten dishes?And if he remembers correctly, it seems that this dish is the only signature dish among the ten limited dishes available today?Cui Mingxu silently recalled.
But Cui Mingxu has been amazed by those previous dishes, so maybe this dish of steamed fish, which is not very good looking, will be even more delicious?With this thought in mind, Cui Mingxu dipped a piece of fish belly into his mouth with some sauce.
Immediately, his expression changed: "Ziqian, Brother Tao, please try this dish! It's different from the others!"
Cui Mingxu is a soldier, and a soldier with a high level of physical fitness and mental strength, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the rank of major at a young age. With A-level mental acuity, Cui Mingxu noticed the energy and unusualness contained in this piece of fish the first time he ate it. He quickly took another piece and tasted it, wanting to check whether his judgment was wrong.
However, still the same result.After eating the fish, his mental power seemed to have self-awareness, and he actively clamored for more. This situation can only show that this dish is really good for mental power!
Min Ziqian and Tao Bo noticed the changes in Cui Mingxu. They looked at each other, and each took a piece of fish to taste suspiciously.The same shocked expression as Cui Mingxu's before appeared on the faces of Min Ziqian and Tao Bo in an instant, which made the other diners who had been secretly watching and paying attention to them couldn't help being surprised.
The three young men ordered the menu all over the place as soon as they arrived, and they were not ordinary people at first glance, but it was just an ordinary-looking steamed fish that made them change their faces at the same time?What is so unusual about this dish?Thinking of this, the diners couldn't help but ponder, and the eyes they looked at the steamed fish began to look a little different.
Min Ziqian was just shocked, while Tao Bo was completely shocked and more excited and ecstatic. He seemed to be drowning in the sea and suddenly grabbed the only straw to save the people. Rufei, gobbling it like a beggar who sees food after starving for many days.
"I'm going to Brother Tao, you're not kind!" Cui Mingxu, who came back to his senses, rushed to grab food with Tao Bo, "Why do you only want to eat alone! I ordered this!"
Min Ziqian also joined the battle at the dinner table at the right time: "Don't rob, everyone else is watching, pay attention to your image."
"Let us not grab it, you should put down your chopsticks!" Cui Mingxu was not polite.
A large steamed fish dish was divided among three people in less than 10 minutes.Tao Bo recruited a service robot: "This steamed saury, we have another serving, no, two servings." Such a good thing, no matter how much he can eat!
"By the way, can you go to the back kitchen and ask, we want to meet your chef, and we have something very important to discuss with him alone, about this dish." Min Ziqian pointed to the empty plate in front of him and added.
"There is no need to discuss, each table of steamed saury is limited to one serving per day," Zhou Jinnan walked over in a clean white chef's robe, with a clear look in his eyes, "As for the effect, it is the same as what you eat, it is indeed Good for mental power."
Everyone: ! ! !
Zhou Jinnan's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which instantly ignited the discussions among the diners.
"What did I hear? This little chef actually said that a dish of steamed fish is good for mental power?!"
"Should it be just that the effect of soothing the spirit is particularly obvious? The effect is very good. If this is the case, it is understandable that the price of this dish is so high."
"But the expressions on the faces of the three people who ate it seem to be different?"
"How do you feel after eating?"
Tao Bo and the others paid no attention to their questions, but stared straight at Zhou Jinnan, especially Tao Bo: "What do you mean by saying that it is good for spiritual power? What is the specific effect?... Yes, it can be repaired." Do you have mental strength?" Tao Bo's voice trembled a little later, which was caused by anxiety and excitement.
Even Huo Xuan, who has been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help casting a surprised look at this time, and the reporter Zuo Danqiu immediately turned on the live broadcast of his personal terminal after realizing this. , she had a hunch that what happened next must be extremely explosive!
Sure enough, when Tao Bo asked if he could restore his mental power, Zuo Danqiu and the others couldn't help but gasped in surprise. They all looked at Zhou Jinnan in unison, wanting to hear more from him.
Zhou Jinnan's calm expression reveals pride: "It's not just about repairing mental power, it's more important role is to improve people's mental power potential, and it can also treat mental breakdown, although this process is very slow."
Treatment for mental breakdown? !Some people didn't believe it at all, and looked at Zhou Jinnan like a madman, while others were thoughtful.After Tao Bo heard Zhou Jinnan's answer, he seemed to have taken a reassurance. He asked anxiously and earnestly: "Look at my current situation, how long will it take to treat mental breakdown?"
Min Ziqian and Cui Mingxu suddenly turned their heads to look at Tao Bo, their eyes filled with disbelief: "Brother Tao, something is wrong with your mental strength?! When did it happen?!"
But Zhou Jinnan didn't answer: "I'll talk about this question later," he turned his head, noticed Zuo Danqiu's leaving figure, frowned as if remembering something, and called out to stop Zuo Danqiu a second before Zuo Danqiu was about to disappear. : "Madam, please stay."
Zuo Danqiu was busy rushing back to pick up other people to come to the dining room together, and was planning to plan a big interview. The news about the steamed fish that can cure mental breakdown just now has exploded in her live broadcast room.Hearing Zhou Jinnan calling her to stop, Zuo Danqiu thought that Zhou Jinnan was dissatisfied when she found out that she had broadcasted the situation before, so she quickly said, "Do you want me to delete the live broadcast?"
"It's not about this." Zhou Jinnan's face darkened, "I'm not interested in your live broadcast of the actions in the restaurant,"
"It's just that you didn't pay the bill just now?"
Zuo Danqiu:? ? ?
