At this moment, everyone is tearing the bean sprouts with their hands, tearing off the yellow leaves and putting them in the basket. The white vegetables are thrown aside to make vinegar-braised cabbage later.

"Let's get some more spinach and shepherd's purse. Let's make more. Let's make some more rapeseed. Everyone is not satisfied with it at noon. Let's eat more in the evening."

Lin Xu gave the order and went to the Pastry Department to start making Shaomai Skin.

After the siu mai stuffing is done and the skin has been kneaded and relaxed for a while, the stuffing begins.

Lin Xu did not participate in this matter anymore, because the difficulty of making siomai is not very difficult, and the masters in the pastry department can also easily do it.

He is killing fish now and plans to cook these fish according to his own ideas.

The mandarin fish, rat grouper and one of the Eastern star groupers will naturally be cooked according to the original vinegar-stewed method, but for the largest Eastern star grouper, Lin Xu plans to change the method.

He first slaughtered all the fish and then fried them in batter.

After the fish is fried, all the vinegar-stewed fish is poured with vinegar sauce and brought outside for Shen Guofu and others who have just come to have dinner to taste it and relive the amazing experience of eating this kind of vinegar-stewed fish at noon.

As for the fried Eastern Star Pancake, Lin Xu arranged it on the plate, then put a wok on the stove, added a spoonful of lard to the pan, and heated it up over high heat.

Add a handful of soaked Sichuan peppercorns to the pot and fry them until the numbing smell comes out. Then add the dried chili pepper segments. When the spiciness comes out, add a spoonful of chopped bean paste to the pot and stir-fry until the red oil comes out.

Pour into a large bowl of pork bone broth, add a large spoonful of light soy sauce, half a frying spoon of dark soy sauce, a small spoonful of salt, a small spoonful of pepper, and a few rock sugars.

Bring to a boil.

Wait for the rock sugar to boil, break out the residue in the pot, and then thicken it.

Finally, boil a spoonful of chili oil on the stove next to it, heat it and pour it into the soup to bring out the spicy flavor. Then, holding the pot, pour the red oily soup evenly over the fish.

In this way, a spicy vinegar-braised mandarin fish is ready.

However, calling it braised mandarin fish in vinegar is a bit far-fetched, because the sauce is not vinegar braised sauce, and the fish used is not mandarin fish. It just follows the method of braised mandarin fish in vinegar.

Smelling the spicy smell emanating from the fish, Wei Gan sniffed and said with a smile:

"Since the spicy flavor is so strong, why not just call it fish in spicy sauce? The taste is really different from the smell of fish simmered in vinegar."

The vinegar-braised mandarin fish has a strong sour taste, a bit like pot-roasted meat, and the aroma of vinegar can be smelled from a long distance.

But this fish in spicy sauce is quite spicy.

Originally, Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies were fried in lard, and finally a large spoonful of hot spicy red oil was poured on it. The smell was really fragrant and spicy, and the smell made people want to eat.

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"Let's put this dish on the menu together with the vinegar-braised mandarin fish. Mark the recipe. If you want to be jealous, eat jealous braised fish. If you want to eat spicy, eat spicy."

After saying that, he carried the plate and came outside. As soon as he went out, the spicy smell wafted into the nostrils of everyone outside:

"Hey, where are the fish?"

"Is this mandarin fish braised in vinegar? Does it smell spicy?"

"Is it an improved version?"

"I didn't expect there would be a new surprise. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxu."

Shen Guofu was a little overjoyed. Although he enjoyed eating a few dishes of vinegar-braised fish, the taste was simple and he would easily get tired of it if he ate too much. Relatively speaking, he still wanted something spicy.

Finally, I was able to spread it out and eat it once. I must eat better.

Lin Xu said:

"I tried pouring a spicy sauce. Let's have a try and see how it tastes. I added sugar and the spicy taste should be neutralized a lot."

As soon as the plates were put down, everyone raised their chopsticks and started eating.

The fish is very crispy because it has been fried three times, and the spicy taste of the soup on the outside makes people feel like eating boiled fish.

But unlike boiled fish, the fish in front of you tastes more crispy and crispy.

It's a bit like dry pot fish fillets, but compared to dry pot fish fillets, the fish in this dish is more tender and the crispy texture is stronger.

All in all, this is an eye-catching dish.

Although the spicy flavor is quite strong, due to the proper seasoning, the numbing taste is not bitter and the spiciness is not dry. Coupled with the tenderness of the fish and the crispiness of the batter, it actually feels like the way fish should be.

Geng Lishan, who was not satisfied with his lunch, also came in the afternoon. He took a bite of the spicy fish and immediately praised:

"It's delicious. Xiaoyou Lin doesn't stand on his own laurels or stick to the rules. He makes bold innovations based on tradition. This courage alone can put many chefs to shame."

Many chefs have mastered the recipe or inheritance of a certain dish, just like clinging to the golden chicken that lays eggs. They neither try to innovate nor allow others to try.

He often labels people as disrespectful of tradition.

But where did the traditional dishes come from? Was it mastered by the Zhoukoudian Hominins? Was it known from the Shandong Cave period?

Those were all innovations in the past, the result of repeated attempts by predecessors.

Therefore, it’s okay to respect tradition, but don’t reject innovation, or at least don’t reject new attempts. Only in this way can cooking continue to move forward.

"The host has understood the essence of dish innovation, made a perfect innovative dish, completed the hidden task [Cooking Innovation], and obtained a basic cooking technique upgrade card. Congratulations to the host."

Basic cooking skills upgrade card?

Lin Xu was a little confused when he heard the notification sound in his mind.

When I got the card, I discovered that it was a card for upgrading basic cooking techniques.

At first glance, this card didn't have much use, but after he checked the basic techniques he had mastered, he discovered that it was actually very useful. For example, if his basic knife skills had been at the Excellent level before and had not been upgraded, he could use this card to upgrade to another level.

Lin Xu wanted to upgrade his basic knife skills several times, but every time he saw the points required to upgrade to perfect knife skills, he was a little discouraged.

For example, now, if you want to upgrade your sword skills, you need to pay 8888888 points, and you also need to trigger a trial mission.

Putting aside the difficulty of the task, more than eight million points alone can be redeemed for many tasks and dishes, so he has never tried to do it.

Now that the upgrade card is in hand, it's time to make up for the shortcomings of the knife skills.

Lin Xu is actually quite satisfied with his knife skills.

The excellent-level flower knife technique that I had used to exchange points for was actually upgraded to the perfect level because I focused on carving the Pisces during the competition.

The basic knife skills that have been a headache for a long time have now been upgraded.

I remember that many experts on the Internet have said that many headache problems can be solved by delaying them for a while.

I originally thought it was procrastination, but I didn't expect it to happen today.

Procrastination YYDS!

Lin Xu did not hesitate to use this basic cooking skills upgrade card on basic knife skills. He first earned 8888888 points from it.

Well, saving more than eight million points is equivalent to earning this much. Is this reasonable?

"Consuming a basic cooking skills upgrade card, the excellent basic knife skills have been upgraded to the perfect level. Congratulations to the host."

"Excellent-level basic knife skills are upgraded to perfect levels, and the trial task is automatically triggered: The host is asked to use the acquired knife skills to make three dishes that are good at knife skills within a week. Requirements: 1. The dishes must be dishes for which the host has not mastered the skills;

2. During the mission, you cannot use the points mall to redeem related dish techniques; 3. The dishes must be of perfect grade."

Wow, you really think highly of me!

Lin Xu didn't expect that the system would actually give him such a big problem.

But thinking about the branch tasks of Huaiyang cuisine, I feel that this cuisine has many dishes that are good at knife skills, and I can try to make them.

For example, boiled dry silk, Pingqiao tofu, and chrysanthemum tofu that foreigners are full of praise for...
