Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 293 Douluo Continental Version of Stinky Tofu?
The cooking of Mo Wutuan is not over yet.

But at this moment, in the nearby air, a unique smell of Mowutuan has begun to spread.

Indeed, as Ye Lingqing said, this smell is unacceptable to many people.

"Meow!"

Gulu couldn't stand this smell, so he jumped out of Qi Han's arms, jumped up to the wall beside him, squatted down where he could see Qi Han, and watched vigilantly from a distance at the strange smelling monster. booth.

Cats have a higher sense of smell than dogs, so the smell is really not something Gulu can bear.

Qi Han was slightly distracted by Gulu's movements, and when he was sure that Gulu was okay, his attention quickly returned to the booth.

Sniffing his nose, Qi Han's face was filled with obvious disbelief.

This is... stinky tofu?

Yes, the peculiar smell wafting in the air at the moment is at least [-]% similar to Lanxing's stinky tofu.

Such a coincidence made Qi Han unable to sit still, he stood up and asked aloud, "Can I take a look from the side?"

"It's possible." Ye Lingqing smiled, "Many people in our village know how to make the Mo Wutuan. It's no secret how we do it."

With the other party's permission, Qi Han moved closer and watched Ye Lingqing's movements carefully.

At this moment, Ye Lingqing's cooking was coming to an end. Holding a special spherical colander, he slowly fished out a sphere that looked like black coal from the hot oil, put it into a bowl, and then scooped out a spoonful of it from another pot. Pour the soup, sprinkle some seasoning ingredients and smile slightly, "Boss Qi, would you like to try it now?"

"Okay." Taking a deep look at the black sphere in the bowl, Qi Han took the initiative to sit on the side with the bowl in his hand.

Get closer, and the smell that is so familiar to Qi Han slowly pours into his mouth and nose.

Anyone who has eaten stinky tofu can smell a deeply hidden fragrance from this stinky smell, and Qi Han is no exception.

Looking at the black sphere whose surface was blown up slightly and was about the size of a fist, Qi Han felt a little more familiar.

Really stinky tofu?

Except for the fact that the shape is not quite right, there is basically not much difference between the Mowutuan in front of me and the stinky tofu in the previous life.

"Boss Qi, originally Mowutuan should be eaten with a small spoon, but after I came to Shrek City, I found that your chopsticks are more suitable for eating Mowutuan, so...you don't mind?" Ye Lingqing handed A pair of chopsticks came over and asked nervously.

Judging from his tone, he seemed a little embarrassed because he used the chopsticks that Qi Han introduced.

"Of course I don't mind." Qi Han smiled hoarsely, took the chopsticks from Ye Lingqing, and carefully pierced them against the surface of the Mo Wutuan.

"Crack!"

With a slight crisp sound, the crispy black skin was easily broken open, revealing the pale yellow inside, and a more intense smell of stinky tofu also poured into his nostrils as the skin was broken. middle.

Qi Han didn't show any signs of expression, picked up a chopstick and put it directly into his mouth, after chewing for a while, he nodded secretly.

It is indeed similar to the method of making stinky tofu.

Although the Mowutuan in front of me is still somewhat different from the real stinky tofu, the principles of the two are probably similar.

The unique black color on the surface of stinky tofu and the foul smell emitted during the cooking process all come from the brine.

The raw material used to ferment and make brine contains black tempeh, which will turn the brine black after fermentation. Therefore, after fresh tofu is cut into pieces and soaked for a period of time, the formed stinky tofu will show a deep black color, and the The smell also stems from this.

On the Douluo Continent where the simple process of ordering tofu with brine already exists, if someone discovers this black brine by chance, then there is a possibility that a delicacy similar to stinky tofu will appear.

Although I don't know who discovered this in Zhilan Village where Ye Lingqing lives, it is clear that Mo Wutuan is the Douluo Dalu version of stinky tofu.

Another chopstick was put into the mouth. With the process of chewing, the smell gradually faded, and a trace of fragrance became more and more obvious. The loose and porous structure inside the mowutuan made it full of soup. Now eat It looks very delicious.

As he tasted it, Qi Han gradually discovered the difference between the Mowutuan and the stinky tofu.

Some of the raw materials of the two brines may be the same, resulting in almost the same smell, but in actual tasting, because some raw materials are completely different, the flavor is different.

Of course, this is not a defect, but each has a different flavor.

On the other hand, Ye Lingqing, when Qi Han tasted it with his chopsticks without any hesitation, there was already an excited look on his face.

Boss Qi didn't care about the smell of Mowutuan!

Will he like it?
Seeing Qi Han take another bite with a relaxed expression after taking one bite, the boy's heart became more and more excited.

But he didn't open his mouth until he saw Qi Han finished eating the Mowutuan, so he restrained his excitement and asked cautiously, "Boss Qi, what do you think of the Mowutuan...?"

Only then did Qi Han come back to his senses, remembering that he hadn't responded to the anxiously waiting young man.

He smiled apologetically, and said encouragingly, "Very good."

Boss Qi really likes Mowutuan!
Ye Lingqing's eyes lit up, and with Qi Han's approval, all the grievances he had suffered before seemed to disappear at this moment.

This is the most powerful chef in Shrek City, he thinks the Mowutuan I made is very good!

Is there anything more exciting than this?
"but…"

As soon as Qi Han's voice changed, Ye Lingqing felt relieved again.

Seeing that the young man became nervous again, Qi Han smiled, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just offering some small opinions."

"Small opinion?" Ye Lingqing subconsciously repeated Qi Han's words, and after realizing Qi Han's meaning, her eyes became brighter.

Boss Qi gave himself an opinion, can it make the Mowutuan more delicious?
"You fried the Mowutuan with hot oil, right?" Qi Han paused, "Perhaps, you can try to deep-fry the Mowutuan in the pan until it is set, then take out the oil and wait until the oil temperature rises to the highest level. , and fry it again?"

Qi Han actually didn't know much about stinky tofu, so he could only make some suggestions on the taste.

Through previous observations, he found that Ye Lingqing did not know about the practice of re-frying. In fact, this step is the key to many fried foods being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

After all, there are too few fried foods on the Douluo Continent, so it is possible that this simple trick has not been discovered for the time being.

"Control oil...rebomb?" Ye Lingqing scratched her head in confusion.

Although there are some unfamiliar words in Qi Han's suggestion, he can still understand the general meaning.

Just fry the Mowutuan halfway, take it out, and wait until the oil temperature rises to the highest level before frying?

Can such a small change make Mowutuan more delicious?

He had some doubts in his heart, but it was Qi Han who made the suggestion, so he still believed it.

"Boss Qi, wait a moment, I'll try now."

He couldn't wait to go back to the booth, and fried Mowutuan according to Qi Han's instructions.

Soon, a new Mo Wu Tuan was freshly baked.

Except that the frying process was changed according to Qi Han's suggestion, everything else was exactly the same as before.

But at this moment, the surface color of the ink black ball in the bowl has obviously improved a little, and it seems to be more attractive.

Ye Lingqing carefully picked up some with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. After chewing for a while, her eyes lit up.

The surface has become more crispy than before, but the inside is more tender than before. The combination of the two directly improves the taste compared to before.

Can such a small change bring such a big change to Mo Wu Tuan?
At this moment, Ye Lingqing respected Qi Han even more.

As expected of the most powerful chef in Shrek City!
After witnessing the whole process, he was sure that the young man understood what he meant, Qi Han smiled slightly, "Okay, I should leave."

"Boss Qi, I'll see you off..."

"No need." Qi Han waved his hand, "Get ready to entertain the diners, maybe... there will be surprises tonight?"

After saying this, Qi Han walked towards the entrance of the alley, and stretched out his arms to embrace Gulu who had jumped into his arms again, with a smile on his face.

Maybe... When it's open at night, can I recommend Mowutuan to the guests?

Originally, Qi Han would not have such an idea, but after tasting the Douluo Continental version of stinky tofu, he suddenly felt that giving such a delicacy to his diners...

Seems like fun?
