The camera language of Chapter 705 [Soup-filled Yellow Croaker]
When a chef goes to the kitchen of his fellow chef, he cannot cook casually unless he is invited.
Because the dishes served from the back kitchen of a restaurant represent the quality of the restaurant’s food.
When restaurants are open for business, it is very important to maintain a stable level of food delivery.
If the workmanship is not good, it will affect the dining experience of the guests, which will directly affect the business.
If the craftsmanship is too good, it will ruin the place and affect the livelihood of fellow chefs.
It will be even more troublesome if something goes wrong again and the guests are hungry.
So when Zhao Wenzhuo asked Dai Long just now, Dai Longcai said that he was a food connoisseur and had no intention of cooking.
But now that Li Yi has invited him, he can do it.
But he did not agree immediately, but signaled to Li Yi: "Let me see what you do first."
Hearing this, Li Yi didn't say much, and turned around and continued to handle the fish.
The two kilograms of large yellow croaker is not light, and the fish offal taken out is only half a kilogram.
After discarding the fish offal, Li Yi inserted a slender fish knife into the belly of the fish and cut off the intestines connected to the dung door.
Then, he used the blade of the knife against the inner side behind the fish's gills to remove the fish bones.
After picking all the way to the fish tail, Li Yi pinched the fish tail with his hands and broke it hard. The fish bone broke and he pulled it out of the fish's mouth.
At this time, only a complete fish body with a head attached to the large yellow croaker was left.
Arriving at the vegetable sink, Li Yi turned on the faucet and poured water into the fish's mouth.
Clear water entered the belly of the fish, but not a drop leaked out.
Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room was filled with admiration.
“Oh my god! There really isn’t a drop of water leaking!”
“This swordsmanship is excellent!”
“It’s Brother Yi after all! Not only is he good at solving cattle, but he’s also great at solving fish!”
“It would be great if the burrs could also be removed. That would be perfect.”
Looking at the yellow croaker in Li Yi's hand, Dai Long clapped his hands and praised: "Good work."
He was sincerely impressed, and his eyes were even a little surprised.
He can also make [yellow croaker in soup]. This dish is actually not very difficult to make, mainly because the raw materials are hard to find.
Getting fish offal and deboning it may look fancy, but after practicing it a few times, ordinary chefs can do it.
What surprised him was Li Yi's efficiency.
The process of removing the bones took Li Yi less than thirty seconds. He cut off the meat in three strokes without hesitation.
Including the time for removing the guts, it didn’t take him even a minute to process the fish.
At this speed, even Dai Long himself could not achieve such speed when he was young.
Hold clean gauze with chopsticks, put it into the belly of the fish, and after scrubbing it a few times, Li Yi poured out the water in the belly of the fish.
Following that, Li Yi prepared the soup for the yellow croaker.
On the stove, a white casserole has been warming over a slow fire.
Li Yi stepped forward and opened the lid, and a rich aroma wafted out.
In the casserole is half a pot of milky-white soup, which Li Yi cooked yesterday using crucian carp. After three hours of boiling, the bones of the crucian carp were almost melted.
The soup in [Yellow Croaker Filled with Soup] has no fixed combination.
The local delicacies from rivers and mountains are used at a lower level, and the eight delicacies from the sea are used at a more high-end level.
But Li Yi is going to reproduce the version in the movie this time, so these materials will not be used.
Coupled with the small pieces of cabbage sticks scattered on the fish, it looks very weird. However, in order to restore it, Li Yi still used his own understanding and tried to be as close to the movie version as possible.
Taking the spoon, Li Yi stirred the crucian carp soup in the pot.
The milky white crucian carp soup was stirred by the spoon, and translucent **** the size of pearls suddenly appeared, rolling in the thick soup.
This is sago, the raw material commonly used in milk tea.
But after being cooked in crucian carp soup, it has absorbed the fragrance of crucian carp soup, and also integrated its own starch into the crucian carp soup, making the fish soup extremely viscous.
Seeing that the cooking heat was almost done, Li Yi took the washed spinach on the side, quickly cut it into thin strips, and put it into the bowl.
Following that, he sprinkled some fine salt on the spinach, pinched it with his hands and stirred it.
After a while, a layer of green spinach juice oozed from the bottom of the bowl.
Bringing the bowl over, Li Yi poured the spinach juice into the pot and stirred it evenly with a spoon. The soup in the pot suddenly turned slightly light green, just like in the movie.
Seeing this scene, Dai Long couldn't help but ask: "Who did you learn this from?"
“Of course I learned it from the movies, otherwise why would I make soup in such an outrageous way?”
Li Yi said casually without looking back.
Dai Long was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Because the version of "Soup-filled Yellow Croaker" in the movie was designed by him, and the method was exactly the same as Li Yi's operation.
After a pause, he explained: "The authentic [yellow croaker in soup] is indeed not done this way, but making a movie requires visual effects, so I changed the method."
Hearing his words, Li Yi turned back and glanced at him, but didn't say much.
But Dai Long understood the meaning: So you made this version?
In the live broadcast room, after hearing his words, the audience also excitedly posted comments.
“Did you make the [yellow croaker in soup] in the movie?”
“That’s the ugliest yellow croaker I’ve ever seen!”
“That [yellow croaker in soup] is not authentic, you won’t make it once you see it.”
Dai Long stood behind Li Yi and could just see the display screen in front of him.
Looking at the barrage on the display screen, he became more and more embarrassed and tried to explain: "This method tastes good, and it combines seafood and river fresh food, and has the taste of sago. It is OK to go with rice."
Hearing this, Li Yi nodded: "The taste is definitely not bad, but the color is a little off. The cabbage sticks that were sprinkled on it were a failure. It looks like it has been irradiated, which is very unappetizing."
“This is what the director requested.”
Dai Long explained helplessly: "The plot of that part is that Master Liao came back from the mainland. Although he remembered his cooking skills, his sense of taste failed and the dishes he cooked were unpalatable.
But the audience cannot eat the food and can only judge whether the food is delicious or not by its appearance.
I didn’t add cabbage slices at first, and the soup in the fish belly was not light green.
The director said no, it looked too delicious. Even if the actors acted like it didn’t taste good, the audience wouldn’t understand.
So he asked me to change the dish so that it may look delicious, but in fact it is not delicious and is a bit unappetizing.
I didn’t know how to change it, so he came up with the idea of turning the soup in the belly of the fish green to make it look like it was poisonous. He also sprinkled some raw film on the fish to make it look like it was poisoned. He said that was the language of the lens.
After finishing it, I felt unappetizing even when I saw it. "
Hearing his explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized.
“No wonder! Why is that [yellow croaker in soup] so ugly? It turns out it was designed by the director!”
“It turns out it’s because of the lens language! Years of doubts have finally been answered for me!”
“Xu Ke is really not a good man, but the effect is really good, at least it takes away my appetite.”
“Is it because Xu Ke didn’t enjoy filming “City of Monsters” that he designed this radiation-mutated soup-filled yellow croaker?”
