I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 142 Interlocking delicacies

The tofu ball is not tightly stuck in the hole, and the hole carved by Zhou Dong has a gentle slope from the inside to the outside, and it will not roll out when there is no force. It landed on Cheng Yuqi's spoon.

The placement of this dish is also very particular. After the tofu balls rolled out, the real moonlight passed through the hole and reflected on the 'water surface'. Everyone suddenly found that there was a reflected moon on the plate.

"It's really interesting."

Cheng Yuqi was so engrossed that she forgot to taste the tofu in the spoon.

"Beautiful, this is the wonder of Huaxia's plate arrangement." Teacher Yu repeatedly exclaimed, imitating the example, and took a spoon to pick up the tofu.

In the blink of an eye, Teacher Huang, Dahua, and Teacher He all held a snow-white round tofu ball in their hands. As many tofu balls as they took off, there were a few rounds of bright moons on the dish.

"Of course the presentation must look good, and it's even more rare that there are changes, but in the end it must be delicious. I'll try it."

Teacher Yu glanced at the rolling tofu ball in the spoon, and with the caution of an old foodie, took a small bite first.

The tofu ball kept vibrating in the spoon, and it didn't look solid at first glance, so don't make jokes about foreigners eating soup dumplings, it will damage the reputation of "Uncle Yu".

Sure enough, after the tofu ball was bitten open, the soup gushed out.However, it doesn’t come out all at once like the soup dumpling, but gurgles out slowly, and the water flows in a long stream. Teacher Yu even saw blue light spots shining in the flowing soup, and couldn’t help wondering, what is this?
Based on the experience of an old gourmet, I can quickly tell that the soup is not very hot. Teacher Yu catches the soup and sucks it lightly.

Well, it's so delicious. The tender bamboo shoots just picked in spring blend with the fresh and salty aroma of ham, and the tofu with excellent texture adds enough layering to the delicious taste.
And those bluish spots are actually very thin and finely chopped bamboo shoots, which have soaked up the soup in the tofu balls, and then heated and steamed until half-cooked, retaining some of the natural and fresh taste.

This soup. Mr. Yu bit the tofu ball curiously and showed it to everyone.

It turned out that the tofu ball was not completely hollowed out, but Zhou Dong used his extremely clever carving skills to dig out an internal "pipeline" like a nine-curved Yellow River inside the tofu, so as to ensure the liquid content of the soup in the tofu ball. stock, and the tofu balls will not be easily broken due to excessive carving.

"What is a profession, this is a profession!"

Teacher Huang sighed, and imitated Teacher Yu to drink the soup first, and then stuff the tofu ball into his mouth.

The taste of this tofu ball steamed in ham is absolutely amazing. After it was stuffed into the hole by Zhou Dong, it was soaked with ham on the outside and swollen with soup inside. The umami taste and the unique smoked aroma of ham, plus the bean aroma of the tofu ball itself is the most compatible with the taste of meat. taste.

As the tofu melted on the tip of the tongue, layers of aroma bombarded everyone's taste buds in turn, and even the pickiest diners could only groan in satisfaction.

24 tofu balls entered the abdomen one after another in the competition of the guests, and immediately 24 beams of moonlight passed through the 'bridge hole', casting rounds of moon shadows on the 'water surface'.

On a moonlit night at 24 bridges, it turns out that foodies can only see their true faces through the joint efforts of foodies!
This is the real Chinese plate, not only beautiful, but also delicious!

Zhou Dong didn't brag, all the scenery he saw on the plate was something to eat.Cheng Yuqi was the most witty, picked up the white lotus with one chopstick, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed fiercely: "It's delicious, this is a radish? It's crispy and sweet!"

"It's the freshest and crispest white radish, carved from the core of the radish, and I carved thirteen holes in this white lotus, and I added wild honey into each hole with a syringe."

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "This time, I would like to thank the crew. The honey prepared in the kitchen is indeed original and the best wild honey. It must have been bought from the old Heizi in Fengqi Village, right?"

Gu Yacheng blushed when he heard the words. He bought it when he finished the program task in the afternoon. At that time, he suspected that the honey was not pure enough.

The white lotus was snatched away by Cheng Yuqi, and everyone's eyes were on those 'lotus leaves'. Teacher He took a slice first and ate it, and while chewing, he gave Zhou Dong a wild thumbs-up: "The lotus leaves are carved from spring bamboo shoots." of?"

"Not only the spring bamboo shoots, but also the radish skin of the green radish. Xiao Zhou used a seamless stitching technique to stitch them together perfectly."

Teacher Huang sighed: "The bamboo shoots in the tofu balls aroused our desire to eat bamboo shoots, but there were too few of them. As a result, these 'lotus leaves' immediately satisfied our desire.

Xiao Zhou has thoroughly studied the psychology of diners, so when we eat these 'lotus leaves', we will feel more delicious. "

"Hehe, my brother's methods are not limited to this."

Teacher Yu laughed and said, "Although the bamboo shoots are delicious, the taste is not enough after all. The addition of the radish skin is simply a stroke of magic, so crunchy! Brother, in this mushroom house, you are the biggest wrist today!"

"You can eat anything, really."

Teacher Huang nodded repeatedly, pointed to the bridge carved out of ham, and said, "There is no doubt that ham can be eaten, but eating ham like this should not be right. I wonder how you solved it, Xiao Zhou?"

Ham is a good thing, but it can be divided into two categories.The Spanish smoked ham focuses on eating fresh, while the Chinese method focuses on seasoning.

You've seen someone who gnaws braised pork legs and braised trotters directly, but I'm afraid you haven't seen ham directly.

The first is because it is too salty, and the second is that after being smoked, the fat is lost. It tastes astringent when eaten directly, but it is not very delicious.Therefore, ham is generally used to make soup, or to be re-fried after steaming, or to be used as a side dish.

For example, Zhou Dong’s 24 bridge moonlit night, if you want to divide the monarch and ministers, obviously the 24 tofu balls are the ruler, and the ham is the minister; after the ham is borrowed, there is not much value for direct consumption. After all, there are tofu balls and The 'Lotus Leaf' pearl and jade are in front.

Zhou Dong said: "Teacher Huang, can you try it?"

"Oh, can you make flowers out of this ham?"

Teacher Huang curiously stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the ham. He thought it would take a lot of force, but he didn't expect to pick up a piece with a light touch, without any astringent feeling.At the same time, everyone also took action, 'demolishing the bridge and breaking the fence', turning this beautiful bridge into a tofu project.

Dahua even pinched down the little lion at the head of the bridge. He had been staring at the lion for quite some time.

"The ham not only retains the proper smoked aroma, but also has no astringent feeling, and is very fat, tender and juicy. Brother, did you put pork belly in it and cook it together?"

Your uncle is still your uncle, Teacher Yu saw the mystery at a glance.

Zhou Dong nodded: "Actually, after taking out the ham and spring bamboo shoot soup, I cook it with thick pork belly and ham, so that the taste of the ham can be improved.

You just ate tofu, bamboo shoots, and radish skins. If you didn’t order hard dishes to keep up with, wouldn’t this dish have a false name? "

"It makes sense!"

After being reminded by Zhou Dong, everyone immediately felt that the food just now was delicious, but it was still not enough to satisfy their cravings; since the bridge made of ham is so delicious, can we let it go?If you hit me, you will eat up the whole bridge.

Dahua patted his stomach, feeling that he was not full. He saw Guo Daxia and Huang Nvxia on the bridge, and was about to put down his chopsticks, but was stopped by Cheng Yuqi: "You melon baby, don't dare!"

How can I say that Cheng Meizi also became popular in Jin drama, how can she watch Guo's heroes being eaten?
After eating the last part of hard vegetables, everyone suddenly found that the pile of spinach made of distant mountains is so delicious, and the rippling lake surface, they thought it was the broth hanging out, but how did they know it was the mountain of Fengqi Village? spring?

At this moment, isn't light spinach and tasteless mineral water what everyone desires most?

The people in the Mushroom House were all full, and suddenly they all looked at today's chef. Before that, who of them would have thought that there was a dish that was both beautiful and delicious, and it was linked together without wasting any ingredients?
This is Chef Gao!

Teacher Huang looked at Zhou Dong with admiration: "Xiao Zhou, are you giving me a problem? Although I have a thick skin, I can't say in front of the audience that I made this dish." Ah? What do you think we should do about this?"

"What to do, cold salad!" Teacher Yu said with a smile: "It's over if you just downplay it, no need to explain, let the audience guess for themselves. My brother has already said that he won't show his face, so don't worry about it."

Teacher Huang said with a wry smile: "Older, you know how to protect the new brother, and don't care about me as an old brother? Does this mean that only newcomers laugh and no old ones cry?
Forget it, let's not talk about this.Xiao Zhou, with your culinary skills, there shouldn't be any dishes that can stump you, right? "

Everyone nodded. A dish that was not described in recipes or novels can do this. What other dish can be difficult for this Chef Zhou?

Zhou Dong smiled wryly and said, "Of course I did. If I hadn't encountered a problem recently, I wouldn't have gone to Fengqi Mountain for vacation. I also came here to find inspiration."

"Really or not, is there any dish that can confuse you?"

Mr. Huang said strangely: "I'm really curious, Xiao Zhou, tell me what kind of dish is it? Our cooking skills are naturally not as good as yours, but sometimes the more you are a layman, the more you may be able to see the "Lushan Mountain" "True face', wouldn't it be a good thing if it could help you?"

"I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but because I live in this mountain?"

After hearing Teacher Huang's words, Zhou Dong was slightly taken aback.That's right, I was thinking hard, and even Fatty and Mr. Yi helped me to think about it, but everyone is a diligent person, and it is inevitable that the existing knowledge will hinder the imagination.

These celebrities are well-informed, experienced, and they are all laymen. Maybe they can really help me?
