Gourmet Food Supplier-Chapter 2544
There was no such cheap thing in the world, and Yang Wei naturally couldn’t encounter it. The fried pork chops he made were probably made with a unique skill of slaughtering chickens, so the pork chops were very soft and tender. Not counting the crispy outer layer, the inside could be said to melt in the mouth, and the texture was unique, making people always feel like they were lingering after eating it.
Yang Wei had always felt very proud of himself. However, as soon as Yuan Zhou’s fried pork chop was served, he felt that the blow he suffered just now was really nothing. No wonder people always said that the best way to defeat an opponent was to defeat him in the field that he was best at.
Although Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to compete with him at all, he did in his heart. As a senior in the cooking industry, it was nothing to lose to a junior. It was normal for the new generation to surpass the old. However, he should be the only one who lost miserably in the part that he was most proud of, right?
Yang Wei was thinking too much. With Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills, as long as it was a cuisine that he owned, no matter who came, they would definitely lose.
The color of the fried pork chop in front of him was very beautiful. It was not just golden yellow, but also not like the bright yellow color that Yang Wei had guaranteed himself. It looked very bright and dazzling, but a little dark. Logically speaking, this color should not be beautiful. It must be beautiful if the color was bright.
However, this fried pork chop looked very nice. The color was uniform, and the fried pork chop was much bigger than a palm. It was laid flat on a rectangular plate, looking like a whole piece.
In any case, even with Yang Wei’s eyesight, he had to carefully compare them one by one to see that they had indeed been cut based on the subtle changes in the yellow particles on the surface.
Gu Xun, on the other hand, did not have such keen eyes.”Master yang, I’ll split it in the middle. How about we each take half?”
Everyone had the same amount, and no one was to blame. It was good. Gu Xun’s idea was good. He had agreed in advance to save fighting. It was still necessary to respect the old and love the young.
Yang Wei, who was still immersed in the shock, was stirred up by Gu Xun. He came back to his senses and said,”it’s not the first day that I know that head chef Yuan’s cooking skills are good. Other cuisines are so perfect, so there’s no reason that they can’t be done so well when it comes to Shanghai cuisine. There’s no reason for that. Our Shanghai cuisine also has its own standards. If I can’t beat him, I can continue to work hard to surpass him.”
...He was one year away from turning 60 this year and still had time to study it, so Yang Wei reorganized himself and began to pick up the chopsticks, intending to eat more, taste it carefully, and improve it when he went back.
Before Gu Xun could divide the pork chops, he gently lifted his chopsticks and touched the front part of the pork chops. Then, the pork chops were like dominoes, falling down one by one in an orderly manner, like the wheat seedlings being bent by the wind. It was a very beautiful sight.
The fried pork chops were of the same size. Even when they fell down, the contents inside were not revealed. Every angle of fall seemed to have been measured with a ruler in advance, just right for the thickness of the fried coat.
“It’s that magical?” Gu Xun widely opened his eyes.
He had thought that it was a whole piece. It wasn’t like he had never eaten such a fried pork chop before. The most important thing was to hold it and gnaw it with pleasure. Therefore, it didn’t matter if Yuan Zhou’s pork chop wasn’t cut. However, he didn’t expect that he didn’t see it clearly because of his poor eyesight.
Yang Wei did not care about Gu Xun’s surprise. He directly picked up a piece of pork chop and put it in his mouth. A crisp ‘Kacha’ sound was heard, like a crispy coat being bitten to pieces. The breadcrumbs that were fried just right did not have any water at all. With just a bite, they broke directly.
Although it was crispy, because it was dry and clear, it didn’t look greasy at all, but a little crunchy. But as his teeth went deeper, the pork chop inside revealed its true color. When he first touched it, Yang Wei’s first reaction was that it was really tender.
It was as tender and smooth as tofu, but it had a little more flavor. Its tenderness was divided into different layers. The part near the outer layer was also tender, but because it could directly come into contact with a part of the oil, it appeared to be more crisp and tender. If it went a little deeper, it would be ordinary tenderness. At the end, the center part really melted as soon as it came into contact with the oil.
Not to mention that after the marinating, there was not so much juice, but it still tasted good. At least, it was just the right degree of richness. It was really to the extent that it would be too much and too little.
The taste was layered. It was just a piece of pork chop, but it gave people several layers of taste experience. It was exquisite and was indeed much better than his, which only had crunchy and melted in the mouth.
And this was when he was eating it empty-handed; if it was dipped in the special spicy soy sauce, the taste would probably be even better.
The application of spicy soy sauce in Shanghai cuisine was quite wide and special, especially when fried pork chops were matched with the spicy soy sauce that was a specialty of Shanghai. It was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Gu Xun was a loyal fan of spicy soy sauce, so unlike Yang Wei who was eager to taste the taste of the authentic fried pork chop, he picked up a piece of pork chop and directly dipped it into the plate next to him.
The plate was filled with spicy soy sauce. Compared to ordinary soy sauce, the color of the spicy soy sauce was more beautiful. It was not as light as raw soy sauce, nor as strong as old soy sauce. It had a little red, which was particularly beautiful.
“Swish!”
When the crispy outer coat came into contact with the spicy soy sauce, the soy sauce filled up the dense holes and let out a satisfied moan, which was very pleasant to the ear.
When he stuffed it into his mouth again, the crack was filled with spicy soy sauce, so the sound was no longer crisp. Instead, it sounded a little dull, as if it was the sound of a chime-Bell, heavy and heavy.
When the slightly spicy soy sauce mixed with the crunchy flavor, it didn’t feel out of place. Instead, the spicy soy sauce seemed to make the crunchy outer layer more active. As the soy sauce danced on the tip of the tongue, the originally dry outer layer became a little more moist after soaking in it. However, the spiciness made it more unrestrained.
The contradictory feeling was finally neutralized by the plump steak, making the slightly plump meat even more juicy and refreshing. The taste was really great.
Anyway, Gu Xun was also a person who liked fried pork chops, but he had never eaten such a perfect fried pork chop before. He could even find some flaws in Yang Wei’s fried pork chops. For example, it was a little greasy, some places were very tender, some places were a little old, and some were not uniform. Although there were some minor flaws, as a professional chef, he could still pick out them. This was the pride of a professional chef.
It was totally not suitable for Yuan Zhou. He couldn’t find any fault with it anyway. Of course, if the portion was too little, it was also a shortcoming. But he could still do it.
It was only when Yang Wei ate the last piece that he remembered that he hadn’t dipped it in spicy soy sauce to test the taste. He smacked it in his mouth and didn’t have the sticky feeling of eating fried food. Instead, it was very refreshing, and there was no residue except for the fragrance.
For the last piece, Yang Wei still decided to eat it with spicy soy sauce. The completely different taste made him feel that it would not be a problem to have two more plates. He was very good!
The two of them were eating the fried pork chop in full swing as if it was their favorite dish. However, when the new dish was served, they immediately abandoned the empty plate and threw themselves into the arms of the new dish. Their swift actions were like scumbags who loved the new and hated the old.
