Pan-fried cod with pepper and sesame seeds?
Chu Yunfeng also put a lot of effort in making this dish. He didn't put the peppery flavor directly on the silver cod, but chose another way to deal with it.

The freshly ground pepper and sesame juice is made into a curved moon shape, surrounding the cod fish. This green pepper and sesame sauce is also used in other places to embellish it with starlight.

The whole shape looks like a starry sky. The silver cod fillets are hung in the vast and mysterious night sky, making people feel its magical and mysterious taste.

"Fried cod with pepper and sesame, please taste it!"

The waiter didn't explain too much about how to make this dish and how it was carefully prepared. Everyone here is a gourmand, and they should be allowed to experience it for themselves.

Pepper?

Looks like it’s Sichuan peppercorns again?

The Michelin reviewers all frowned, why is Sichuan peppercorns here again?

I had a close contact with Huajiao just now, and I had already experienced the feeling of being numbed until my soul left my body, and my tongue was so ecstatic that I still had lingering fears.

Regardless of the peppery sauce, the cod seemed to be cooked quite well. Judging from the crispy and golden appearance, the heat was already perfect.

And I gently brought my nose over and smelled it. It seemed that I couldn't smell the fishy smell on the cod, which was very powerful.

You must know that the fishy smell of this cod is very strong, and many chefs cannot handle it well. It will taste very fishy, ​​and it will also make people feel like vomiting.

Originally, according to Sichuan's taste, Chu Yunfeng wanted to put Sichuan peppercorns directly on the cod to remove the fishy smell, which would have a better effect.

However, considering the acceptance level of some people, I gave up this method and only used the traditional fishy removal artifact, which is scallions, ginger and cooking wine.

In addition, some lemon juice is added to remove the fishy smell and increase the flavor.

Secondly, a lot of spices are added to enhance the flavor. It depends on whether you can taste it?

"It looks very good, but I won't try this pepper and sesame sauce. It's too scary!"

"Indeed, I think the taste of silver cod is already perfect. I don't know why the chef would add extraneous things to it?"

"You don't know that I almost suffocated when I tasted the peppercorns just now. I swear to God, this is the first time I've tasted peppercorns. It's so scary!"

……

The Michelin reviewers discussed among themselves in a low voice. For this pepper, it seemed to have become a lingering nightmare.

"This shape is very good. There is a slice of lemon added to the cod and a small flower inserted. This flower should be molecular cuisine, right? This technique is simply amazing!"

Adolf had a complicated mood after seeing this dish, and he was very afraid that something bad would happen again.

There are already two dishes with low scores. Judging from the current situation, if another dish gets a score of less than 7 points, then this three-star rating will not be rated.

So, please, let yourself taste the last three dishes, okay?
And the last dish must be a dessert, so there must be no problem. The dessert made from this dish is simply too delicious, right?
The complex aroma of milk and fruits, I had never tasted such a rich flavor before, it was simply unbelievable.

"Oh, yes, you can see from all the dishes served that all the embellishments and decorations on the dishes are made of molecular cuisine, which is almost impossible to see in other restaurants."

Leon strongly agreed with Adolf. Many restaurants use real flowers to match them. They look good, but they don’t taste good because most of them taste very bitter.

“It is indeed the case, and only this store can achieve this level. If such a store is not rated as a three-star store, then we have ruined our own brand.

Let me remind the reviewers below that the pepper and sesame sauce in this dish has been separated and does not have a great impact on the dish, so the cod is the main one when scoring. "

Adolf had no choice. Originally, such words should not be uttered from the mouth of a person like him. It would give people a sense of command.

Under normal circumstances, reviewers will not listen to such "orders" because each reviewer is independent and has his own independent judgment based on Michelin's standards.

So Adolf can only play a side-ball and "kindly" remind everyone to put the overall situation first, which seems very helpless.

Leon also knew Adolf's difficulties. The current review process had reached this stage and he was already in a difficult situation. If he could not obtain a satisfactory result, neither he nor Adolf could bear the consequences.

"Understood, I will remind them from the side."

Leon also knew that Adolf could not tell everyone this directly, but he was the best "microphone". He hoped that everyone could understand the importance of putting the overall situation first.

Soon, everyone received this message and more or less understood the reason for this.

For a dish, the judging criteria are focused. If the cod is really perfectly cooked, then the small flaws in the pepper sauce can be completely ignored.

This approach did not violate the evaluation standards, so although everyone was a little dissatisfied with being given an "order", they silently accepted it.

The biggest reason is that this set meal is so delicious. If it were normal times, the reviewers would not blame Adolf, and they would not give him face even if the biggest boss came.

The long-term review advantage and right to speak give the reviewers arrogant self-confidence, and the standards stipulate that the reviewers are independent and will not be subject to any human interference.

So after seeing that everyone silently accepted his "suggestion", Adolf secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the cod in front of him.

Fragrant!
The presentation is indeed beautiful!
If this pepper sauce is replaced with white wine butter sauce, it will definitely be a perfect dish. Maybe I can meet the chef after the dinner?

It should be possible to see it. After the dinner, the chef should come out to meet everyone to celebrate. At that time, I must make a good suggestion to him to improve this dish.

Mmm~!

I think he will like this suggestion of his.

White wine butter is the sauce that I think goes best with pan-fried cod!

Please trust your own professional judgment!

Adolf smiled silently in his heart, feeling very confident in his suggestion.

However, what he didn't expect was that there seemed to be major problems with his "suggestions" to the reviewers...

Just as everyone began to slowly taste this exquisite cod, Adolf and Leon began to communicate.

The main content of the exchange was the future cooperation between the two parties. Adolf put forward some ideas for future work, and Leon also expressed his "loyalty" in a timely manner and would fully support Adolf's work.

As an incoming deputy, with Adolf offering advice, how could I not seize the opportunity to show my loyalty?

Although there are some disgraceful methods in his own position this time, it is also a helpless move. After all, only the chances of doing so will be great.

As Adolf's friend for many years, no matter what thoughts he had about this matter, as long as the dinner ended perfectly, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become the leader.

The arm can't twist the thigh, and there are high-level care on it. It seems that cooperation between the two is more in the interests of both parties than confrontation.

So although Adolf has all kinds of negative emotions, he also understands the necessity of cooperation.

Adolf was finally relieved by Leon's active cooperation and correct attitude. He was afraid that if he didn't cooperate with his work, both of them would look bad when there was a quarrel.

Fortunately, it seems that in the end, both parties were satisfied with this "heart-to-heart" test between each other.

However, just as the two of them nodded and smiled naturally and reached a tacit understanding between each other, they were about to taste the taste of the cod fish and celebrate this happy event.

Tragedy happened.
"What happened? How did they get this score?"

After Adolf withdrew his tacit gaze, while turning around to look at the silver cod in front of him, he inadvertently glanced at the big screen in front and saw a score that made him unbelievable.

5 points!
4 points!
5 points!
6 points!
God, what are they doing?
Don't you know that this is digging a hole for yourself?

Is this the rhythm of burying yourself with your own hands?
"Oh my god, what's going on? Isn't this cod fish to your liking?"

Leon immediately became anxious, because he knew what this score meant. It was like thunder rolling from the sky. His deputy position, which he was about to win, seemed to be in danger.
“There’s nothing wrong with the cod, it’s perfect. It can be said that no chef can handle it better than him, but I can’t complain about the peppery sauce.

I'm going to be numb to death."

A gold medal judge next to Leon heard his excited inquiry and reluctantly told the reason. Then he took a sip of water, stuck out his tongue and fanned it with his hand.

"What? Pepper and sesame juice?

Didn’t I just tell you to ignore this pepper and sesame juice?
what 's wrong? "

Leon's emotions seemed to be getting out of control. His voice was louder, his brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a faint hint of anger on his face.

“Originally I just wanted to taste the cod, but look at it, there are many places on this plate decorated with pepper sauce, and only the middle part is safe.

If we were not careful when cutting the cod, we would naturally get a little of the peppery sauce on the cod meat, and we would eat it together.

It’s all because the dinner plate is too small, even slicing a cod is limited, and the chef decorated the starry sky too much, not leaving much space at all! "

The reviewer next door to Lyon told the truth. It wasn't that everyone didn't want to ignore the pepper sauce, but that "Concubine" couldn't do it.
"I"

Leon immediately wanted to say a few words of curse, but looking at the dinner plate in front of him, it seemed that the starry sky was so dotted that there was very little blank space on the dinner plate.

Adolf looked at the scores in front of him with a gloomy expression, quickly calculating the total score in his mind, and his anxious mood began to stabilize slightly.

"Don't be anxious, there is still a chance. As long as the two of us get full marks and just reach the passing line for three stars, there is still a chance to save it."

Unlike Leon's agitation and loss of control, Adolf was very calm and calm at this time. After calmly calculating the score, he immediately picked up the cod with a fork and sent it into his mouth.

"Hurry up and don't be in a daze anymore!"

At this time, there was no time to cut it carefully with a table knife and taste it. The two of them had spent a lot of time discussing it, and all the scores on the Black Pearl's side had already come out.

"still have a chance?
I understand!

Shit"

Leon spat out the last word fiercely. The scene just now almost scared his soul out of his mind. Fortunately, there was an old comrade sitting next to him, and he was still hot when he was old!

Following Adolf's example, he picked up the silver cod with his fork and put it into his mouth. At this moment, he didn't care about the appearance of the dish, so he quickly ate the dish.

As for what to taste?
Is there time for that?

To be honest, the taste of this pan-fried cod is truly impeccable. The crispy exterior and tender interior make it truly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Moreover, it is mixed with the flavor of many spices. These spices seem to have never tasted such a comprehensive fragrance in Europe. It can be fragrant to the bones, making people remember it forever.

It should be spices such as bay leaves, star anise, and grass fruits, right?
"This processing technique is so powerful that I didn't taste the pepper, but I knew it was there. The chef's skills are really great!"

Adolf seemed to still be in the mood to discuss the issue of cooking, which made Leon have to sigh that the old comrade was still able to hold on.

"Indeed, it seems that the pepper is mixed with scallions, ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. After marinating, they are professionally wiped off, and then covered with other spices.

This technique is indeed very powerful, and only chefs who are expert in the use of spices can do it to this extent! "

Lyon still has some understanding of Chinese spices and chefs' fishy removal techniques, so his judgment is generally correct.

"You're right, but our reviewers didn't think of a better way to taste this dish, and it was actually affected by the pepper sauce. It's such a pity!"

After Adolf finished eating instead of tasting, he immediately picked up the water glass to clear his mouth, and then signaled to the host that he needed a microphone and that he needed to comment in front of the Black Pearl.

In this life-and-death situation, he needs to set a tone for this score and cannot let Black Pearl hold on to the situation.

So Adolf highly praised the handling method of this silver cod, boasting that it was the only one in the sky and rare on the earth.
Regarding the low score, Adolf strongly suggested that it was because of the peppercorns in the sauce. If it were replaced with a white wine butter sauce, it would be perfect.

Although Adolf has tried his best to eliminate the influence, such a statement is no longer convincing to the public, especially for the Chinese people, the word hypocrisy has been plastered on their heads.

What made Adolf feel a little relieved was that Black Pearl didn't seem to be entangled with him on this issue. This also made him relieved a lot, but he also felt very strange.

After An Zifang on the Black Pearl side expressed his opinion, Liang Haotian smiled mysteriously at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes glowed with murderous intent.
They say the most fatal blow is when the last dish is served. Just wait, the next dish will let you know what a fatal blow is.

Anxiety and uneasiness accompanied Adolf and Leon when the last dish besides dessert was served.

The two of them suddenly felt their eyes go dark, and they felt like they would faint soon.
"Ma Po Tofu, please try it!"

The waiter's gentle voice blew into everyone's ears like a reminder or a sound of nature.
