A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot Chapter 497

  Chapter 497 [Zuan Tofu]

   Click! Click!

  Xiao Zhang can feel the flexibility of the venetian silk when his teeth fall down, and the crispness when he is bitten by the teeth.

   "So crispy!"

   "It's delicious, this taste is absolutely delicious!"

  Xiao Guo and the others also looked satisfied, eating happily.

Snapped!

  Xiao Zhang felt his head was slapped.

   Looking back, he found Liao Wendong standing behind him, asking with a straight face, "Why don't you leave me a bite?"

   "I ate the last bite, and they ate so much."

  Xiao Zhang pointed at Xiao Guo and the others to sue.

   "I just took a small bite."

"Me too."

  Xiao Guo and the others hurriedly explained.

  Liao Wendong snorted and asked, "How does it taste?"

"too delicious!"

  Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "It tastes like cabbage, it's too crunchy."

  Pony also echoed: "It's so finely chopped, and yet so crispy, the cooking is absolutely perfect!"

  Xiao Guo tasted it carefully: "Salty, slightly spicy, slightly sour, with the aroma of beef soup, this taste is too balanced, perfect!"

  Brother Jin was older than them, so he dared to joke with Liao Wendong, so he smiled and asked, "Boss, why don't you know this dish?"

   "I want to learn, but I have to be taught!"

  Liao Wendong looked at Li Yi who was walking towards the small pot stove with complicated eyes, and sighed: "It's not without reason that this dish sold for 168 a plate in the 1980s.

  In those days, a worker's monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan, and a catty of grain was two or three cents, and this dish could sell for more than one hundred.

   But even if you really have more than a hundred yuan, it's hard to get it.

  This dish can only be prepared by the top restaurants, and each plate is divided into ten portions for each table.

   One person can get one bite at most, which is nearly 17 yuan, which is equivalent to half a month's wages of a worker. "

   "So expensive?"

  Xiao Zhang exclaimed: "Then based on the current price, this bite is worth 1,700 yuan!"

"almost."

  Liao Wendong joked with a smile: "You are lucky, not even one remembers the master."

  Xiao Guo deliberately covered his mouth with his hands, and smiled: "It's okay, boss, I already know how to do it, and I will teach you later."

"just you?"

  Liao Wendong curled his lips and complained: "If you can learn it by reading it once, then I learned it eight hundred years ago.

  There are so many ways to make this dish! Without more than ten years of effort, it is absolutely impossible to do it. "

  Xiao Guo scratched his head and looked at Li Yi suspiciously: "Then how can he do it?"

   "You ask me who should I ask?"

  Liao Wendong looked at Li Yi who came back with a pot of soup, and his tone was somber.

   This question has been bothering him.

  The stir-fried pork that Li Yi made yesterday already made him doubt his life, and today's dish shocked him even more.

  As a chef of Hunan cuisine, a dish that even he can't cook was actually cooked by a chef from other places.

  This is too shocking!

  Boom!

  Li Yi put the soup pot on the desk, lifted the lid, and a strong aroma wafted out.

  Smelling the aroma, Dong Haiqiang, who was frying fried yellow beef on the stove next door, subconsciously glanced here.

  From his angle, he could just see the white and tender square tofu cubes floating in the soup pot.

   Such a fragrant taste, is it just tofu?

   No! This is definitely no ordinary tofu!

  He suddenly thought of a dish.

  【Zumian Tofu】!

  Since Li Yi can make [Zu'an Shark's Fin], there must be no reason for him not to make [Zu'an Tofu]!

  [Zu'an Tofu] is the same as [Zu'an Shark's Fin], both belong to the high-end genre of Hunan cuisine, Tanjia Zu'an cuisine.

   These two dishes are also the two most representative dishes of Zuan cuisine.

  The production of [Zuan Shark Fin] is already very cumbersome, but the method of [Zuan Tofu] is even worse.

  It is said that [Zuan Tofu] is a representative dish of eating meat without seeing meat. Although it looks like tofu, it is actually made of meat.

  After seeing the tofu in the soup pot, Xiao Zhang's expression was a little lingering, and he couldn't help asking Li Yi: "Is this considered ready?"

"alright."

  Li Yi explained: "Put them in separate bowls and pour a few drops of chicken oil on it."

  After hearing the exact reply, Xiao Zhang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   This dish had them tormented yesterday afternoon.

  Although the tofu inside looks like tofu, it is made by filtering tender tofu with the hard skin off and then mixing it with minced fish, minced meat and minced chicken, and steaming it again.

   And these tasks were all done by a few of them.

   Not to mention how troublesome and time-consuming it is to smash fish, pork, and chicken into fine meat, and to pick out all the fascia.

  Just talking about the most basic tofu, Li Yi was so insane that he wanted to grind and make it himself.

  He specially brought a bag of soybeans from the capital just to make this piece of tofu.

   Xiaozhang spent an entire hour grinding the soybeans into soy milk.

   Afterwards, after Li Yi made the soy milk into tofu, he asked him to knead it into mashed tofu himself.

  Yesterday afternoon, this dish was only half prepared, and only the meat tofu was made.

  This morning, Li Yi simmered it in broth for another two hours.

   Until now, this dish has not been completely finished.

  Counting the preparation time, it took almost a whole day just to make this dish.

  After so long preparations, Xiao Zhang and the others are already full of curiosity about this dish.

  They are looking forward to having a few pieces left after the meal is divided, so that they can also taste the taste.

  However, to their disappointment, after dividing the tofu, there was only one piece of defective tofu left in the pot.

  Under their envious eyes, Liao Wendong took the spoon, took out the last piece of tofu, and put it into a small bowl.

   Scooped up a spoonful of broth from the bottom of the pot and poured it on the tofu. He dipped the bottom of the spoon into the chicken oil in the chicken oil bowl and rubbed it on the tofu.

  The golden chicken oil quickly spread out, coating the surface of the broth with a golden film of oil.

   Smiling in satisfaction, Liao Wendong cut off a piece of tofu with a spoon, and put it into his mouth together with broth and chicken oil.

  The teeth were pressed down, and the taste was just like tofu, which made him really think that he was eating a piece of ordinary tofu.

  But the instant aroma of the broth and the gravy oozing from the tofu made him think he was eating meat again.

  This wonderful interweaving of taste and taste made him close his eyes in enjoyment, put all his attention on the taste, and savor it carefully.

  Looking at his expression of enjoyment, Xiao Zhang and the others swallowed their saliva, and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what does it taste like?"

Liao Wendong licked the tofu with his tongue, mixed it with broth and swallowed it, and slowly inhaled the aroma with his nostrils, feeling the enjoyment of the fragrance inside and out, and sighed sincerely: "One word! Fragrant! Two words! Really fragrant! Three Words! It smells so **** good!"

  Listening to his description, Xiao Zhang and the others couldn't hold back anymore.

  Brother Jin directly reached out and took the soup bowl from Liao Wendong's hand: "Try it! Let's have some soup too!"
