Chapter 142: The Cuisine That Shocked the Four
"Old Xue, it seems to be your apprentice?" Gu Pingping was deeply impressed by this Puchu chef on the bright moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges of the Demon Reform.
"Hmm. Xue Yi nodded, acting calmly, but the next sentence still revealed the apprehension in his heart.
"Fire cube tofu, I don't know how many successes he can make for you. ”
Compared with Mei Yuanbai's belief in Wu Ping, Su Zifang, who did not make Longjing shrimp, always made him a little uneasy.
"Speaking of which, why doesn't he make your signature dishes, Longjing shrimp, Wensi tofu, crab roe lion head?"
Mei Yuanbai glanced at Xue Yi: "Don't say that you haven't had time to teach yet." ”
Xue Yi: ......
"Senior brother, you guessed accurately. ”
"Forget it, let's try it first. Mei Yuanbai didn't expect that what he said casually was actually the truth.
"Old Mei's apprentice's grades are so good, Old Xue, your apprentice's grades shouldn't be bad, rest assured!" He Jianmin comforted.
"Besides, it can't be worse than that junior chef, right?"
Xue Yi: ......
What kind of delusion did he have just now, so why did Jianmin speak to Shang Gao?
"That junior chef is Xue Lao's apprentice. ”
Gu Pingping still couldn't stand it, so he mentioned it on the side.
"I'll just say that Xue Lao's apprentice has a bottom line, and no matter how bad it is, there is a lower limit for a junior chef. It's not the same as those intermediate chefs who only know how to brush their certificates. ”
After Xue Yi heard this, his eyes when he looked at He Jianmin began to be wrong.
As a chef, if he used his research skills to study cooking, I'm afraid he would already be a master chef of Huaiyang cuisine, right?
I wanted to say a few more words, but the fire-side tofu set by Su Zi had already been served on the table and placed in front of the judges.
"It's cleverly conceived. Huang Sheng glanced at it and praised.
Huofang Tofu is considered to be Su Zifang's own dish, so the judges did not have a reference to the dishes, and could only compare them according to the dishes they had tasted in the past.
Four cubes of tofu and ham are spread on a very thin sheet of salt, wrapped in almost transparent cabbage, and tied with a strip of tofu at the mouth, like a famous dish of lucky bags, and some Cantonese famous shrimp dumplings.
Indeed, from the perspective of styling, it is not inferior to Wu Ping. Gu Pingping also spoke highly of it.
"Old Xue, your apprentice's creativity is still very good. He Jianmin seized every opportunity to mend his relationship with Xue Yi.
"Huh. Xue Yi sneered, he saw through He Jianmin's way, he would never believe this kind of low-level pat horse again.
"As soon as you look at this idea, you will know that you have your true biography, remember to eat the Longjing shrimp you made back then, that's it, three points of peach blossoms, four points of meaning, two points of agility, and one point of aftertaste. Now when I see this fire cube tofu, I have the same feeling, and I really inherit your craftsmanship. ”
This time, even the judges next to them turned their heads and couldn't bear to complain.
It is really a shameless person who is invincible in the world, and it really takes a lot of perseverance to be able to say such things.
"I can't say that, Zifang's enlightenment is not bad. Xue Yi smiled slightly, and accepted He Jianmin's praise.
After finishing speaking, he suddenly reacted that he had fallen into He Jianmin's way again. But the words have already been answered, so I have to treat it as if the angry thing just now did not happen, and continue to respond with a smile.
"It tastes good too. ”
When Xue Yi and He Jianmin were chatting, Gu Pingping had already picked one up and put it in his mouth.
Su Zifang stood in the audience and saw the judges start to taste, there was still some suffering, although he had already changed to the original heart buff before starting to cook, and he did see the original heart version written on it when this fire square tofu came out of the pot, but he had no experience in the dishes being evaluated.
I don't know how many points the fire cube tofu can score after the original buff.
With Gu Pingping's endorsement, the other judges were more assured and picked up the fire square tofu in front of them.
"When steaming, we use a glass to lock in the umami of the ham, but also let the salty and ham flavor penetrate into the tofu. The ingredients are also very well matched, seafood, ham and tofu fully bloom the taste of tofu, and because a large number of fresh ingredients are added to the soup, the soup condensed in the cup can condense enough deliciousness to create a dish that does not lose the moonlit night of the 24th Bridge. ”
"That's a bit high, isn't it?" Yang Tan said.
Gu Pingping didn't use this evaluation when he first ate chicken noodle soup and squirrel cinnamon fish, but now he gave it to a general chef, which shows the extreme of this dish.
"When I bite into the cabbage skin, a stream of soup that is still hot flows out of the inside, with endless deliciousness. ”
"What's going on?" Gu Pingping didn't see any skin frozen in the cabbage skin wrap, and the soup seemed very smart.
"Probably in the cabbage. Mei Yuanbai took a bite, and the look of relief in his eyes was about to flow out.
"His fire square tofu uses ham and tofu as the base dish distillation seasoning, cabbage is a watery plant, and this tofu will be absorbed by water, the water vapor of the steamer with the endless fragrance in the pot is immersed in the blessing bag, and then oozing out after leaving the fire, I think it's very good. ”
"Understood. Gu Pingping nodded, "That layer of honey stains is also very spiritual." ”
"What do you say?" Yang Tan didn't understand the scheming of the chef at all.
"Ham and salty are salty, and this dish uses ham, salt, tofu, and cabbage to neutralize the saltiness of the ham and the saltiness of the ham, which can reduce the saltiness of the ingredients and make the food more delicious. ”
"And it's a very creative dish, replacing large ingredients with cubes, which not only ensures the consistency of the flavor of the stool, but also reduces costs. ”
"Although it was created after reading your dishes, it is undeniable that this method may change some of the previous big dishes into smaller portions, so that there is a chance that more people can taste Huaiyang cuisine. Gu Pingping also analyzed one side from the perspective of the superstructure.
The judges quickly wrote down Su Zifang's scores, and only waited for the food reviewers to summarize the scores before completing the tasting.
"Is Elder Xue looking forward to it?" Gu Pingping looked at Xue Yi with the scorecard in his hand.
"Luckily, I didn't expect him to win first place anyway. Xue Yiyi said the truth without paying attention.
Gu Pingping: ......
Is it really worthy of an apprentice to tell the truth?
Seeing that the cue party was unsuccessful, it happened that the judges' scoring list had been synchronized, and Gu Pingping no longer sold the guanzi, opened the score card, and opened his mouth to read.
"Contestant Su Zifang, cooking: fire square tofu, the final score is 9.0 points. ”
The sigh of "......" came from Xue Yi.
Su Zifang didn't get the lowest score, and he finally saved face.
"Steady, steady!" The surprise came from Su Zifang.
Originally, he thought that his innovative cooking could only score 85 points at most, but a buff of the original intention made him counterattack in an instant and make a dish that shocked the four seats.
That's probably ...... Luck, okay?
