Little Penguin Courtship Diary

"No problem, I accept the challenge!" Francois said confidently, then raised his chin and looked at Zuo Yu, waiting for his reaction.

Zuo Yu also nodded, and said modestly, "I also accept the challenge." This competition was not only between him and Francois, Shen You would also be on the side, and he must win for him!

"There are ingredients in the cold storage. I just brought them today, and there is an East Star Spot in the aquarium." Shen You said, "Then who is the referee for this competition?"

"The four of us vote after tasting, whoever gets the most votes wins." Shen Xiu said, the four of course refer to Ding Shang, Shen You, Shen Xun and him.

"No, big brother, you have always favored Shen You, who doesn't know!" Even though Shen Xiu's prestige was very strong, Shen Xun had no choice but to jump out to stop him.Anyone with eyes can see Shen Xiu's love for Shen You, and the person behind him seems to be with them. If they team up to cheat, he will be at a disadvantage!Shen Xun shouted, "No, I have to find someone else to be the referee, otherwise I won't accept the competition!"

"What kind of competition, let's be the referee!" A low-pitched male god came from outside the door.

"Dad, you're back." Shen Xiu spoke first, and the person who came was Shen Xiu and Shen You's father, Shen Bochang.

Shen Bochang was about to celebrate his [-]th birthday, although his temples were already grey, his face was ruddy and he spoke with a lot of air.After he spoke like this, Shen Xun didn't dare to escape.

"It seems that I came at the right time. Shen Xun, what new tricks are you trying to do? Let me try it too!" After Shen Bochang came in, another middle-aged man who was younger and looked a little like him also left. It was Shen Xun's father, Shen Jichang, who came in.

When Shen Xun saw his father, he flinched reflexively, then thought again, although his father has a bad temper, he wouldn't favor Shen You, right?

The two of them, Zuo Yu, didn't know each other. Shen You turned his head and explained to him in a low voice. Yu."

"Tianhai seafood?" Shen Jichang thought for a while, but he couldn't think of such a hotel in this city.Most of their meals are in restaurants under the Shen Group, but they seldom come into contact with restaurants outside, especially ordinary restaurants, and their knowledge is not very grounded.

"I know." Shen Bochang said, "Your restaurant has been featured in gourmet magazines several times. The former chef was named Master Wan. When he retired, I wanted to invite him to come to Shen's as a catering consultant, but unfortunately he was rejected." Shen Bochang shook his head.

"You know my master?" Zuo Yu didn't expect his master to have such a relationship with Shen You's father.

"How many times have we met?" Shen Bochang said, "Are you his apprentice?"

"Yes." Zuo Yu said.

"Since we are Master Wan's apprentices, we must taste it!" After exchanging greetings with Zuo Yu, Shen Bochang said a few words to François, and then asked them to make their own preparations, and he and Shen Jichang went to drink kung fu tea.Before leaving, ask Shen You to come over to taste after the competition is over.

After watching them leave, Ding Shang quietly heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that Mr. Shen did not recognize him. The relationship between them 16 years ago was really not pleasant.

"I'll take you to the ingredients section." Shen You said, and then encouraged Zuo Yu in a low voice, "Come on, little Zuo."

This was the first time that Shen You called him that. Zuo Yu was already used to being called this name, but when the words came out of Shen You's mouth, there would always be a sense of intimacy that he could only dream of.

Zuo Yu nodded obediently, and followed Shen You to the cold storage, completely ignoring the others in the same group.

Of course, the venue for the competition is in the huge kitchen in the basement of the Shen family.The Shen family has a tradition of holding dinner parties at home. The kitchen in the basement is specially used for dinner parties. It is completely built according to the standards of a star hotel, and all the equipment inside are first-class.

And for this birthday banquet of Mr. Shen, the entire Shen family has been busy for more than half a month.From guest list to seating, from tableware to drinks, from menu to chef, as well as the procurement of raw materials, the arrangement of service personnel, there are so many things, it can be called a thousand and one thousand.

"Tsk tsk tsk, those who don't know think it's a state banquet!" Shen You has complained to Shen Xiu a long time ago. The idea is to contribute, but I didn't expect Zuo Yu to be included in the end.

Although Zuo Yu is Tianhai's chef, but he looks juicy and tender, Shen You instinctively felt that he would be bullied, so today's incident was not his business, so he dutifully accompanied him throughout the journey.

"Hey, have you got Boss Ding done yet?" Zuo Yu and Francois went to choose the ingredients, Ding Shang wandered around in the kitchen and said that he wanted to study, Shen You quietly went to Shen Xiu's side, gossiping.

"Don't ask nonsense, little brat!" Shen Xiu's tone was terrible, and Shen You seemed to have kicked an iron plate.

"So angry? People are still angry with you? Why did you do something that is beyond the law?" Shen You was not discouraged, and continued to ask.

Shen Xiu's face darkened again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Is this the image of your brother in your heart?"

Shen You shrunk his neck, let out a haha, and continued his efforts, "Boss Ding seems to have a good temper, maybe you will agree if you say a few soft words."

This time Shen Xiu's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, and finally he could only smile wryly.Ding Shang seems to have a good temper, but only those who are very close to him know that this is a master who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he has really committed something he cares about, and he is completely resolute.

Shen Xiu has learned enough about this dog's temper.

Shen You saw Shen Xiu's wry smile, but he didn't want to let go of the great opportunity to make things difficult for his omnipotent brother, so he continued to pursue the victory, "When did you guys meet? How long have you known each other? You fell in love with him first?"

Shen Xiu glanced at him, "Mind your own business."

Shen You shrank his neck, his brother was really angry, and shut up resentfully, wanting to see Zuo Yu's progress.

Zuo Yu found a box of chilled Antarctic krill in the cold storage, and asked someone to fish out the East Star Spot in the aquarium for him.I plan to use krill as a cold dish and steamed Dongxingban as a hot dish.

Krill is delicious and a go-to meal for whales and penguins foraging in the Antarctic.Moreover, this box was obviously freshly caught after being caught, and Zuo Yu's index finger was already twitching after he opened the box lid to take a look.If such fresh krill is eaten cooked, it will be ruined. The best way to eat it is to peel and remove the shrimp line, and eat it raw with some wasabi and soy sauce.

The grouper is the best in the perch family, and the Dongxing grouper is the best among them. Its meat is fresh and tender, rich in nutrition, and it is not inferior to any deep-sea fish in terms of taste and value.

Zuo Yu is well aware of the delicacy of seafood, so he always seeks to restore the original taste of food when cooking.Chef Wan has always told him that the most important duty of a chef is to let diners taste the most natural taste of food.

Krill is a shrimp-like invertebrate. In fact, it looks more like a crayfish, but its size is only about six centimeters, and it is divided into shrimps.The shell of krill is not very easy to peel. It does not have a gap in the abdomen like ordinary shrimp. It only needs to be peeled from the middle to both sides.There is also a layer of shell on the belly of the krill, which is connected to the shells on both sides. There is no gap when peeling off, and the shrimp shell can only be cracked by brute force.

Moreover, there are hard thorns at the place where the shell on the back is connected to the abdomen. If you are not careful, you will hurt your fingers. If human blood gets on the shrimp, the taste of the shrimp will be ruined.

If you just want to finish it quickly, Zuo Yu can certainly use tools.But metal tools will also spoil the taste of food, so Zuo Yu patiently peeled the shrimp shells with his hands little by little.

Compared with Zuo Yu's carefulness, François's movements were smooth and smooth. The assistant picked out the crab meat, added spices and seasonings, and put them all into the blender. The sound of machinery resounded through the kitchen.When Francois was busy, he still didn't forget to glance at Zuo Yu, seeing him poking at the shells of the shrimp, he couldn't help showing a triumphant smile.

"The big gear you found is not very good, what are you doing?" Shen Xun mocked.

Shen You has been paying attention to Zuo Yu's movements here. From the time he picked the ingredients, he never took his eyes off the work in hand.With a concentrated expression, the corners of his mouth will rise when he successfully peels off a shrimp, and he will frown when he encounters a difficult place. The rich expression fascinates Shen You.

"If you have time to worry about me, why don't you think about how to comfort your Frenchman later. It's a three-star Michelin star, and it's not very honorable to lose to a big stall chef!" Shen You said confidently.
