"Oh? Chu Xiao, have a taste of this . " The moment Zhou Shijie tasted it, he turned his head and said to Chu Xiao .
"Okay . " Chu Xiao nodded his head .
After that, he drank some plain water provided in the Welcoming Set Meal and then picked up a fish slice to eat .
"It seems to be another dish that will be difficult to surpass . " Li Minghui sighed in the heart, but his movements were not slow at all . He also picked a fish slice up and prepared to eat it .
"Let me just pick one up and have a taste . " Liu Tong murmured with a low voice and prepared to pick one up and eat it .
Being the first that tasted the fish, Zhou Shijie had already aimed for the next fish slice while squinting at them .
At that time, Chu Xiao had just stuffed the fish meat into his mouth .
Speaking of which, the cooking method of Candied Floss Fish was really very simple . The process was no more than cutting the fish into the butterfly-shaped slices, wrapping them with the egg liquid and then frying them before they were scooped up and, finally, put aside to let the oil flow . The remaining work was to decoct the sugar syrup with a small fire and then put the fish slices inside it to stir-fry them .
On the whole, the entire process was nothing special and could be described in a sentence .
"Ka La" . As soon as the fish slice entered his mouth, the crisp surface wrapped by the sweet syrup broke lightly, revealing the fresh fish meat inside just as Chu Xiao gave it a bite .
"Hiss . It's so hot . " Chu Xiao said vaguely .
After the surface broke, the gravy also flowed out along with the fish meat toward his tongue . As it was a little hot, Chu Xiao slightly drew back his tongue . Then, the tip of his tongue felt a fresh and sweet taste filling his mouth .
Actually, everyone had more or less the same taste senses on their tongue . The Harvard psychology professor Edwin G Pauline once said in his published paper that every part of the tongue could distinguish different tastes . However, this argument was proven to be inaccurate by Virginia Corinth .
As a matter of fact, the tongue just had different sensitivities towards each taste and the difference was very slight . As one of the top-level chefs, however, Chu Xiao's tongue was quite sensitive .
Therefore, the fresh and sweet gravy wrapped in the crisp surface directly shocked Chu Xiao as if a flexible fish was swimming beside him .
With the sound of "Ka Ca Ka Ca", Chu Xiao bit through the surface . Then, the fresh fish meat inside met the crisp surface . At one side was the strikingly fresh fish meat while at the other was the fragrant and crisp fish meat . The fresh and delicate gravy of fish meat in the middle directly dominated the two different tastes .
It was just like a dance ball being held in the mouth . Everyone was the leading role, but they were each still dominated in good order . Waves of utmost enjoyment burst out in Chu Xiao's mouth and then flowed into his stomach .
"I never thought fish could be cooked in this way . " Chu Xiao sighed with emotion and then picked up another fish slice quickly .
"Exactly . It's not excessively sweet and is very easy to chew . I think it was simply prepared specially for me . You young people better eat less . " Zhou Shijie said immodestly and straightforwardly .
"You are wrong . The fish meat is so fresh and sweet that it maintains the most perfect fresh and tender texture while the surface is crisp but easy to chew . Apart from that, it not only has a pretty butterfly-like shape but also interesting decorative patterns . Such gorgeous delicacy is definitely suitable for young people like us . " Chu Xiao said persistently .
"Teacher, your 3H (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia) is a big problem . " Li Minghui gulped down a fish slice and said solemnly .
Of course, it would be more convincing if he didn't reach out his chopsticks so quickly .
"Yeah, yeah . Your wife told us that you cannot eat too many sweet things . Besides, you said the same for the previous few dishes . " Liu Tong had already forgotten his promise to eat one fish slice only . He picked up and placed the fish slices into his mouth ceaselessly .
"You little brats, don't steal my delicacy . Shame on all of you!" Zhou Shijie said with an angry manner, but his actions were, on the contrary, very fast . He swiftly picked up the fish slice that Li Minghui had prepared to eat .
He moved as fast as those old people who walked quickly to fight for their discounted vegetables at the entrance of supermarkets every morning . They did that extremely steadily, precisely and relentlessly .
"No wonder our teacher took a fancy to this guy . He could make such a simple dish Candied Floss Fish so sweet but meanwhile not excessively sweet . Moreover, he has perfectly displayed the freshness and delicacy of the fish . " Li Minghui set down the chopsticks contentedly and then sighed secretly .
