Chapter 684 Dundun: As a noble cat, you have to have some different afternoon tea! [Please subscribe]

"Isn't this too beautiful?"

Shen Jiayue finished taking the close-up and was about to adjust the camera position to take a taste test. Wei Qian and the others walked in and saw the butterflies floating on the soup surface, and they couldn't help but marvel.

They know about butterfly sea cucumbers and have seen pictures.

But the picture is static, and there is no such shocking feeling as floating on the soup surface.

Zhu Yong whispered:

"Before, the master chefs said that butterfly sea cucumber is the least affordable sea cucumber dish. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. I feel like the money is wasted."

The soup stock is as clear as boiling water, and the big black-edged butterfly seems to come alive, which is really impactful.

Lin Xu said to them:

"The tasting session is about to be filmed. After the filming, I will let my senior brother and Chef Yuan teach you how to make this dish. As long as your hands are steady, it is not very difficult."

It is definitely not easy for ordinary people to do it.

But Wei Gan, Zhu Yong, Zhuang Yizhou and others all came from Diaoyutai and Yanjing Hotels. They have superb cooking skills and solid basic skills. It will definitely be easier for such people to get started in making butterfly sea cucumbers.

Not to mention anything else, just knife skills and so on can leave ordinary people several blocks away.

After hearing this, everyone immediately went to the kitchen door, preparing to come in after the filming was over.

Since there are two head chefs from Diaoyutai here today, it is not suitable for Shen Jiayue to comment. After all, Xie Baomin and Yuan Debiao are too high-ranking, and it takes professionals to appreciate the excitement of the dishes and the good intentions of the chefs.

It would be too much of a waste of natural resources if you just ate it like a cow chewing peonies and then praised it for being delicious.

Today’s taster has already arrived, none other than Geng Lishan.

Others commented on Lao Xie and Yuan Debiao's craftsmanship as somewhat inappropriate, but Geng Lishan had no such concerns.

He is not only a gourmet but also a cultural celebrity, so he is suitable for commenting.

Putting aside whether the review is objective or not, just the fact that he can speak out a lot of professional terms and food allusions every time he tastes it is very comfortable.

The chef who cooks the food feels comfortable, and so do the netizens who watch the video.

"There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road... Are you ready? Then I'll start quickly."

Geng Lishan did not go to Happy Media today, but went to Peking University with Ren Chongmo to attend a symposium in the cultural circle. After the end, there were too many students surrounding the door, so he arrived a little late.

Lin Xu said:

"It's not too late, it's just made, you're just in time."

Geng Lishan walked to the workbench and casually glanced at the butterflies on the plate, with a shocked expression on his face:

"Oh, this butterfly looks like it has come alive. The craftsmanship of the three of you really opened my eyes. Just for this butterfly that came alive, today's trip is worth it."

Butterfly sea cucumber is a dish that relies on its appearance to win. It may have many shortcomings, but as long as it looks good, it is worth it.

Just like a sports car, you can point out a bunch of shortcomings, such as a low chassis, high fuel consumption, and the inability to carry people and goods, but as long as it is handsome and beautiful enough, there will be no shortage of consumers.

This is a dish that makes customers willing to pay for its appearance.

If you put aside the appearance, this dish is full of shortcomings. The meat is too little and it is not affordable. The soup is not light enough. If you eat a whole portion, you will not even feel full after eating half a steamed bun.

But in terms of pricing, high-end hotels have to start at least three digits, and it’s not uncommon to sell for prices like 399,499.

Although I think it is not a good deal, there are many people who are willing to pay for it.

Shen Jiayue muttered:

"This dish is just like me. It has nothing but beauty."

Lin Xu:?????????

Are you bragging yourself in a different way?

Geng Lishan was ready, and the tasting began.

"Although I consider myself a gourmet and have eaten a lot of delicious food since I was young, the one that left a deep impression on me was the butterfly sea cucumber."

Geng Lishan did not try it directly, but looked at the camera and talked about his understanding of the dish.

"The first time I ate this dish was at an event held by the Calligraphy Association. At that time, the Calligraphy Association invited Mr. Guo Jichang from Diaoyutai to cook the dish. There were many dishes, but now I remember one dish floating on the soup surface.

Butterfly sea cucumber, at that time I was like a fool, I had no idea that sea cucumbers could be eaten like this."

This scene is very similar to a young man who sees a sports car for the first time and thinks it's handsome, ignoring all other shortcomings.

"Later I became famous and went to some high-end restaurants to eat butterfly sea cucumbers, but they didn't look like butterflies floating on the water. Many people even couldn't make butterflies. They were just bugs covered in plastic... Today

I was very excited to see this soup again. Thanks to Xiaoyou Lin, Chef Xie and Chef Yuan for fulfilling my dream of many years."

After Geng Lishan finished speaking, he picked up the spoon and prepared to try it.

In fact, for him, seeing the scene of butterflies flying in the water is already a taste of this dish, and the taste is secondary.

But when it comes to tasting photos, it’s not enough to just look at the dishes on the plate and praise them without actually tasting them.

You should not use chopsticks to eat this dish, but use a spoon to scoop up a butterfly and eat the whole thing into your mouth.

The sea cucumber slices are very thin and there is very little minced chicken. If you eat it in one bite, you can still get something to eat. If you eat it in small bites, you will feel lonely from beginning to end.

After scooping up the butterfly, Geng Lishan brought it to his mouth, smelled it, and said to the camera:

"The soup stock is perfectly cooked and smells very pleasant. It's obviously not a thickened soup."

After saying that, put the butterfly on the spoon into your mouth together with the soup.

At this point, Geng Lishan actually planned to get up after praising it for a few more words. Anyway, his greatest enjoyment of the dish was the visual aspect and the taste, which was not important.

However, when the sea cucumber was put into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up and his face was full of surprise.

"I didn't expect that the taste of sea cucumber is so unexpected. It's so delicious. It's so delicious!"

The thin sea cucumber is rich in colloid, which absorbs the flavor of the broth, making it delicious and delicious in your mouth. The minced chicken in the middle is also tender and has a strong aroma.

When you taste it carefully, you can also taste the saltiness of ham and the freshness of bamboo shoots, which make the taste of the dishes richer.

It’s a mouthful of dishes, and the taste and texture are so rich that you can even take a sip and chew them to have different feelings.

What is top food? This is it.

It is visually beautiful, like a dancing butterfly; it tastes delicious and full of texture.

Only dishes like this deserve top-notch praise.

After eating a bite of butterfly, Geng Lishan wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with emotion:

"I have feelings for this dish. I came here today because of its appearance, but I didn't expect that I would be attracted by the texture and taste in the end... Maybe this is what you young people say, starting with appearance and falling into talent.

Anyway, from my superficial knowledge, I can’t fault this dish at all, it’s absolutely beautiful!”

Although he praised me non-stop from beginning to end, the people around me didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Unlike those paid review videos and store tour videos on the Internet, where you open and close your mouth with all kinds of clichéd words of praise, it’s almost like the emcee’s speech at a wedding.

Although Geng Lishan praised it, it was always his most intuitive personal feeling.

First, it brought back memories, and then lamented the failed experience of ordering this dish many times, then tried it, and was shocked after eating the delicious food, all of which were clearly expressed.

His words and performance were so immersive that Wei Qian and the others even started to swallow their saliva at this moment.

Finally, the tasting is over and the shooting is completed.

Geng Lishan looked at Shen Jiayue and asked:

"Is the camera off?"

"Off."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately picked up the spoon, put a butterfly on the plate, put it into his mouth, and said while chewing:

"It's so delicious. I have to take more bites. I didn't expect that just one bite of meat can have so many changes in texture and taste. It's amazing."

As soon as he tasted it, Shen Jiayue, Wei Qian and others also picked up their spoons to taste it.

Everyone who ate it was shocked. Even if they were mentally prepared, the rich aroma still refreshed everyone's understanding of delicious food.

"It's really delicious, wow, I can eat a hundred of these lucky butterflies!"

Shen Jiayue ate with surprise on her face. Seeing that Lin Xu didn't come over to taste it, she scooped up a butterfly with a spoon and fed it to Lin Xu's mouth. Wei Qian and the others suddenly felt that there was a bit more in the delicious butterfly sea cucumber. It smells like dog food.

“It’s really delicious, and the hard work is not in vain.”

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he brought over the remaining sea cucumbers he had just picked and said to Wei Qian and others:

"While my senior brother and Chef Yuan haven't left yet, come and practice your skills. If a customer who reserved a table orders this dish, we have to make it."

Normally, the store will most likely not sell new ones because the price is too high and the pressure of food preparation is too high.

But if you book a table, especially if you book it many days in advance, there will be no problem. As long as you have enough time, there will be no problem in finding sea cucumbers.

When Wei Qian and the others put down their spoons and came over to start making, Lin Xu said to Zhu Yong:

"From now on, you can go to the Ginkgo Garden in shifts, for half a month or a month at a time. Anyway, there is a place to live there, so you can all take turns to experience what it's like to be a head chef and accumulate some experience."
