48 Jin Ji Yu Kuai
When the anxious second manager saw who it was, he frowned and sighed.
“Chef Dong of the restaurant suddenly injured his hand. A customer ordered Chef Dong’s specialty dish. I was just worrying about it!” The second shopkeeper said in distress.
“What specialty dish?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen asked curiously.
“Jin Ji Yu Kuai.” The second manager was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. “In the entire Dingyuan County, other than Chef Dong, I’m afraid no one else knows how to make this dish…”
“I do!” Ji Zhao, who was in the crowd, said quietly.
“You know how to cook?” The second manager was extremely excited when he heard those two words. However, when he saw Ji Zhao’s young face clearly, he frowned again. “You really know how to cook?”
“Second Manager, can I borrow the kitchen?” Ji Zhao asked instead of answering. The smile on her face was confident and flamboyant.
When Ji Zhao walked into the restaurant’s kitchen, she finally understood what the difference was.
She estimated that the kitchen was at least 50 square meters.
“Ah Tao, do you really know the method of cooking Jin Ji Yu Kuai?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen looked at the confident Ji Zhao worriedly and asked softly.
“Actually, this dish is not difficult to make.” Ji Zhao smiled. “Eldest Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will definitely make it well!”
“There are records of this dish in the Qi Min Essentials Technique,” Shen Yao suddenly said. “If there are too many orange peels in Jin Qi Yu Kuai, it’s not aesthetic. Therefore, foxtail millet is added, which adds the golden color and gives it its sweet taste.”
“That’s right. Actually, the main point of this dish is the ingredients. Seven ingredients are indispensable.” Ji Zhao nodded in agreement and looked at Shen Yao with even more admiration. Indeed, knowledgeable people are the most charming~
“To make this dish, you need seven ingredients, but there’s one missing in the kitchen.” Ji Zhao suddenly faced the restaurant’s second manager and smiled. “Since this dish is the head chef’s specialty, the ingredient that’s missing should be the head chef’s secret recipe. Can I trouble the second manager to get the chef to send that ingredient over?”
Chef Dong, who was resting in the backyard, could not help but sneeze!
Immediately after, the second manager arrived in front of him.
After understanding what had happened, Chef Dong hurriedly returned to the kitchen.
When he saw Ji Zhao, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Second Manager, do you really believe this girl?”
“Chef Dong, you need seven ingredients to make Jin Ji Yu Kuai. The one you secretly made should start with the word white…” Ji Zhao suddenly spoke, but then stopped abruptly.
“I didn’t expect you to be an expert, little girl.”
“Chef Dong, you flatter me.” Ji Zhao smiled. “Eldest Brother has always been on good terms with the second manager. That’s why I stepped forward. I just wanted to resolve the second manager’s urgent problem.”
“Sure!” Chef Dong laughed heartily when he heard her implication. Then, he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it to her. “Try it, but the amount inside is only enough for one try.”
Ji Zhao smiled confidently. After washing her hands, she began to make this famous dish.
She picked out a medium-sized bass from the water tank and cut it down. After removing the bones, skin, and washing it, she began to slice the fish.
Seeing her swift movements, the contempt in Chef Dong’s eyes gradually turned into admiration.
Every piece of fish was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and the patterns on it were especially beautiful.
Immediately after, Ji Zhao began to add ingredients.
The most important step in making Jin Ji Yu Kuai is to learn how to make the Jin Ji sauce.
