The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 234 Eat!
"To make braised silver carp head, you must use large grey carp. Compared with silver carp, large grey carp has more tender meat. You can take a closer look at this dish before you touch it with your chopsticks. Did you notice that although you can still see the shape of the fish head when the braised silver carp head is served, there is actually no bone at all."

"The key to this dish is to remove every bone from the silver carp head after it's cooked, while still keeping the shape of the fish head. It shouldn't be broken, rotten, ugly, or in pieces."

"I've seen some food critics comment that stewed silver carp head is a dish that requires showmanship, but I disagree. It's true that this dish requires very high knife skills, but if knife skills alone can make it the main dish of the three-head banquet, Wensi tofu should also be on this list."

“Normally, the fish face is the most tender. But in the dish of braised silver carp head, you will find that every piece of meat is as tender as the fish face!”

"The milky white soup used to stew the fish head is the stock that my father specially prepared a day in advance. Winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms and ham are added to the chicken soup. It tastes fresh and tender, and the first feeling when you put it in your mouth is definitely smooth."

"Removing the fish bones is not just for showing off, but because it makes the fish more flavorful when it is stewed in broth. The final stewed silver carp head will be more tender, and you don't have to worry about bones when you eat it."

"Every step of this dish is not in vain, and is to make the guests enjoy it better."

After saying that, Huang Anyao couldn't help it anymore, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of delicious meat, and when he picked it up he showed it to everyone.

“See? Although the fish head looks soft, it won’t be crushed or broken in mid-air. This is the best reflection of the chef’s skill in using fire when cooking this dish.”

"Gulp." Ouyang swallowed helplessly.

"Gulp." Wang Gensheng spit out a mouthful of saliva.

"Why didn't Master Jing make this delicious dish when he was working in the state-owned restaurant?" Wang Gensheng's eyes widened as he looked at the fish on Huang Anyao's chopsticks.

"If we have to make it, it's for the leaders to eat. Of course you, an accountant, don't know that." Chen Juan also stared at the fish on Huang Anyao's chopsticks, but didn't pick up the chopsticks.

Everyone thought that Huang Anyao picked up the fish with chopsticks to show them how well the fish was cooked, and they didn't realize that Huang Anyao couldn't help but wanted to take another bite.

Seeing everyone’s reactions, Qin Huai wanted to invite everyone more often when he had a banquet next time.

He is so well-mannered that he can resist picking up his chopsticks when seeing such delicious food in front of him.

Of course, Qin Huai didn't move either.

He wasn't that greedy, he had eaten stewed silver carp head when he was cooking for himself. Since no one else was eating crabs, he didn't want to be the first to eat crabs.

Huang Anyao finished the meal in one satisfied bite. Just as he was about to utter a "hmm" to express his highest appreciation for the food, he realized that he was now a gold medal tour guide and forcibly held back the interjection.

Huang Anyao took another piece of food with chopsticks: "Everyone, eat it. This dish should be eaten while it's hot, and it's best to pair it with the soup below."

"There is no rice now. When I was a kid, I liked to eat the leftover soup from the stewed silver carp head with rice."

Huang Anyao said this, and everyone dared to pick up their chopsticks. Soon, the whole portion of braised silver carp head was eaten up. Huang Anyao was the first to eat the fish head, so he was two chopsticks ahead of everyone else and ate a full four mouthfuls.

No one wasted the last bit of soup. Ouyang asked the waiter outside for a few bowls of rice, and ate it with Xu Tuqiang, Chen Huihui and Director Liu's daughter.

That is to say, the fermented rice wine steamed buns have not been served yet, otherwise Ouyang Gaodi would have to use the steamed buns to dip the little soup left on the plate and return a clean new porcelain plate to the kitchen.

After eating the stewed silver carp head, Director Liu's daughter couldn't help herself and reached out her chopsticks to eat other dishes, but was stopped by Director Liu on the spot.

"Listen to Brother Xiao Huang. Let's eat whatever he says. Eat in order."

Huang Anyao: ...That’s not necessary.

"Most of the dishes are already on the table. You can eat whatever you want. There is no order in which to eat the dishes at the Three-Head Feast."

Everyone nodded in agreement, then stared at the crab meat lion head with one eye and looked at Huang Anyao with the other.

Huang Anyao could only continue to introduce.

"I think everyone is familiar with crab meat and lion's head. You must have eaten it or something similar."

"There are two differences between the crab meat and pork stew at Santouyan and the regular ones sold in restaurants. First, there is no starch in the pork stew. Instead, it uses crushed water chestnuts to increase the texture. Pure meat fillings can sometimes taste too tight. After adding water chestnuts, the texture becomes looser and crispier."

"Secondly, the meat for making crab meat soup needs to be finely chopped and roughly chopped. When cutting the meat into shredded meat and meat cubes, you need to cut it finely with multiple knives. When chopping the shredded meat and meat cubes into minced meat, you need to chop it roughly with several large knives."

"The meatballs made in this way will be chewier than those made with a meat grinder. Each head of the three-head banquet has a different taste. The silver carp head should be soft and rotten, while the crab meat lion head must not be soft or loose. The meat must be firm and the broth must be stewed to make it tasty."

"This crab meat lion's head that will fall apart if you stir it lightly with a spoon is not the crab meat lion's head from the Three Heads Banquet."

"Moreover, the raw materials of the lion's head in San Tou Yan will change according to the season. In spring, it is served with river seafood, in autumn, it is crab meat lion's head, and in winter, theoretically, it is often served with bean sprouts and chicken lion's head. However, each restaurant has its own signature dish. Our Huang Ji is the best at crab meat lion's head, so we serve crab meat lion's head all year round."

"If you want to hold a wedding banquet, birthday banquet, first birthday banquet, or 100th birthday banquet in the fall, please contact me. We at Huangji only prepare three-head banquets for banquets for old customers, and the crab meat lion head is the most delicious at that time."

After saying that, Huang Anyao grabbed a spoon and scooped off a big piece, taking the opportunity to eat more.

I’m tired of explaining, so I guess it won’t be a problem to eat a few more bites of crab meat and lion’s head.

The crab meat lion head was eaten up in no time.

"Eat other hot dishes as well. Eat them all. Eat the dishes while they are hot. They won't taste good if they are cold." Huang Anyao urged everyone to eat more dishes.

If everyone continued to eat in a semi-starved state, all the dishes would be tender and not filling, and the more they ate, the hungrier they became. By the time the roasted whole pig's head was served, Huang Anyao felt embarrassed to eat more.

Although the young master is not good at socializing, he knows a little about Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Qin Huai saw through Huang Anyao's thoughts at a glance and waved: "Waiter, give me some rice."

The soup from the stewed silver carp head is delicious, and the crab meat lion head is also very appetizing, but the human stomach capacity is limited. If you waste the precious opportunity to eat the staple food on these two dishes, it would be a bit of a shame to the roasted whole pig head that is about to be served.

If the three heads in the Three-Head Banquet were to be ranked, the roasted whole pig's head would definitely be the first.

You can tell from the price that when Huang Ji was still selling three-head banquets, the price of a roasted whole pig head had one more zero than the remaining two.

Under normal circumstances, the roasted whole pig's head is the first dish to be served at a three-head banquet.

This is the first one.

But today is actually an internal gathering, so the order of serving dishes is not so particular. Just serve what is available and what tastes good. The roasted whole pig head has not been served yet. I guess it is because the pig head is particularly large today, so it is a bit troublesome to prepare and the time is not well controlled.

As for why Qin Huai knew that the pig's head was particularly large today...

He saw it while at work.

What a huge pig's head! Huang Shengli started preparing it last night. After making snacks at noon, Qin Huai almost couldn't help but sneak a bite.

Qin Huai was so reserved when eating just now, because of the roasted whole pig's head that had not been served yet.

Huang Anyao was shocked to see Qin Huai actually calling the waiter for a bowl of rice. He secretly sighed that he had made a mistake and underestimated the enemy. He was blinded by the expectant and trusting eyes of everyone at the table and forgot that there was an experienced person sitting next to him.

Sun Tzu's Art of War was used incorrectly!

In fact, his biggest competitor is sitting next to him!

"I'll have a bowl of rice too!" Huang Anyao said hurriedly.

"I want another bowl, too." Ouyang finished the last bite of rice in his bowl. "I want a big bowl, this one is too small!"

"Today's food is so delicious, I feel like I can eat at least eight bowls of rice!"

Huang Anyao:?!
Eating rice requires motivation. Seeing Huang Anyao, Qin Huai and Ouyang all asking for food, everyone in the box also felt that it was time to eat some rice. Even Chen Huihong, who originally did not plan to eat rice and wanted to save her stomach for snacks, asked for a portion of rice and shared it with Huihui.

As he watched bowls of rice being served on the table, Huang Anyao knew that something was wrong.

This is what a roasted whole pig head looks like. It is already at least 95 points delicious. It is a top-notch meat dish with thick oil and red sauce. After several hours of stewing and steaming, the meat is very soft and chewy, and the soup with full collagen on it is even more mellow.

It is the kind of food that you would think you would get sick of after eating a few bites, but in fact, you can't stop eating it. People who don't like to eat meat on weekdays and say that eating meat is unhealthy and eating more vegetables is good for the body will throw away all the previous ideas in their minds after eating a few bites, and their stomach and tongue will shout like crazy: I must eat meat, I must eat meat!

High calories and fat can stimulate the body's most primitive love for food.

Eating alone is already like this.

If you eat the roasted whole pig's head with a bowl of white rice, each grain is plump and chewy, steamed to perfection, warm and easy to eat, it is full of carbohydrate happiness.

The deliciousness of this dish will directly rise to 105 points.

Carbohydrates + fats + protein, the three-piece set for happy weight gain.

Take a bite of the roasted whole pig head, a bite of white rice, and then gently pour the rich sauce on the rice and mix it. Even if it is not paired with meat, take a bite of rice...

Anyone who knows rice knows how complicated it is.

Huang Anyao didn't dare to think about it anymore, as he would start drooling if he did.

The others at the table were surprised, wondering why the young master didn't introduce the dishes. Aren't the remaining dishes worth introducing? They looked delicious, but they were not very tasty when I ate them. I always felt that it would be more delicious if the young master could say a few more words.

Just as everyone was eating and wondering, the food was served.

Grilled whole pig head!
Extra large pig head, very dark sauce color, beautiful pig face, nice presentation, and fragrant flavor.

As soon as the dish was served, the other dishes beside it immediately pale in comparison.

The roasted whole pig's head seemed to be telling everyone present in a resounding voice who was the real protagonist of today's meal.

"Gurgle." Ouyang swallowed helplessly again.

I really can't blame him, it's just too delicious. And although Huang Anyao introduced a lot of dishes just now, everyone ate two bites and didn't eat much. With Ouyang's appetite, the dishes and rice he had just eaten were at most appetizers.

Ouyang actually planned to eat less dishes and more snacks.

Although he had eaten a lot of dim sum during this period, he had not sat in Huang Ji to eat dim sum since Huang Ji became popular. He always packed up and took it home or directly took the raw dough to steam. Ouyang always felt that it was not quite right.

It was a rare opportunity for Ouyang to sit in a private room today, so he planned to eat a lot.

just now……

Ouyang could only say sorry to Dianxin in his heart.

"Waiter, bring another bowl of rice, a big one!"

Huang Anyao did not give much introduction to the roasted whole pig head.

This dish needs no introduction, just eat it.

Pig head with rice is the best introduction!

For a moment, everyone in the box was concentrating on eating.

Chen Huihui even surpassed herself. The little girl who could only eat half a bowl of food at each meal performed beyond her level today and managed to stuff a whole bowl of food, eating like Qin Luo did when he was a child.

The reason why Qin Luo can eat as much as she does today is closely related to her hard work in eating over the years.

After eating a bowl of rice, Chen Huihui basically finished her meal for the day. She leaned back in her chair and whispered to Chen Huihong, "Mom, I'm a little sleepy."

"Let's go home after dinner, finish the remaining question and go to bed." Chen Huihong said while showing off her meal, "Huihui, you're full, right? Mom will help you eat this piece of meat!"

There is maternal love but not much.

A large portion of roasted whole pig's head was served on the plate.

It was a real clean plate, as clean as new, and Ouyang dipped the steamed bun in it three times.

In fact, Ouyang was not the only one who wanted to dip the steamed buns in the soup, but in the end, Ouyang was the only one who did it.

It’s not that everyone is being polite, it’s mainly because they can’t eat enough.

After eating several bowls of rice, Ouyang, who had only eaten 5 bowls of rice, still had some room left for two more steamed buns with glutinous rice wine.

When it comes to eating, all the Art of War by Sun Tzu is not as useful as having a big appetite.

Everyone slumped back in their chairs, satisfied with the wine, savoring the delicious meal they had just had.

Dr. Zhou suppressed the urge to hiccup while muttering, "The wedding banquet will be held in the fall, which is still eight or nine months away. How can we convince Minmin to postpone the May Day wedding banquet for a few months?"

"Director Liu, is the crab roe better in September or October?"

Director Liu: ...

Director Liu started to search online. This was very important because she would definitely have to attend Dr. Zhou's wedding banquet.

Xu Tuqiang was taking pictures of the empty plate on the table frantically. He also set his eyes on Guo'er, trying to get Uncle Qian to give him half of it so that he could send it back to his daughter to try.

Uncle Qian told Xu Tuqiang to get out.

Grandma Ding began to wonder what she should send to Qin Huai so that she could upgrade her small kitchen from providing enough fermented rice wine buns to providing enough fruit.

Ouyang was still eating fruit.

Qu Jingze whispered to Chen Juan explaining that Uncle Wang's condition was not really Alzheimer's disease, he might just be not paying enough attention, and it had nothing to do with his age.

Chen Juan decided to go back and enforce justice on her husband.

Uncle Wang was very satisfied with the meal, and even a little moved. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his eyes were a little red. He felt that the atmosphere had been set to this point, and he opened his mouth:

"When I was working as an accountant at a cotton mill, I followed my friends to the state-owned restaurant to enjoy Master Jing's birthday banquet."

Chen Juan was about to tell him to shut up, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue she suddenly realized, "Oh, I've never heard this before."

"Master Jing is holding a birthday party?" Chen Juan was shocked.

"Do, but do little." Uncle Wang said.

"Why didn't I know you had eaten it?"

"I wasn't dating you at that time, thinking back then..."
