Chapter 21: Tang Cheng wakes up from a dream
There was an extra puddle of what looked like tofu mash on the cutting board.
Monk Wensi took a bowl of water, picked up all the tofu puree with the blade of a knife and put it into the water, gently dispersed it in the bowl, and then slowly stirred it in one direction.
In an instant, the tangled tofu puree turned into thousands of hair-thin, white, tender and mellow tofu shreds swimming in the bowl.
Monk Wensi smiled at the performance of the shredded tofu in the bowl and began to prepare the other ingredients.
Shiitake mushrooms enhance the flavor, winter bamboo shoots increase freshness, and green vegetables are all indispensable ingredients.
Monk Wensi used the flat knife method to process the shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots into thin slices, and then changed the straight knife method to cut them into the same as shredded tofu.
A large pot of boiling water was boiling on the stove, and the monk Wensi blanched the winter bamboo shoots and shredded mushrooms to remove the earthy smell, and then took them out and set them aside.
The next thing is to boil the soup base, which is also the point that Su Zifang is most interested in, the temple prohibits meat, what does the monk Wensi do to make a fresh and sweet soup.
I saw Monk Wensi go to the corner of the kitchen to pick up a few times, and came back with cabbage, winter melon, and radish in his arms, and patted the dust off his body before washing his hands and vegetables.
Cut the cabbage leaves into thin strips, peel and cut the cabbage, radish and winter melon, and add them to the pot to boil the soup.
When boiling the soup, Monk Wensi didn't know where to touch a kelp, cleaned it, cut it into small pieces and put it in the pot together, and the rising breath instantly had a more sweet taste.
It's strange to say that the system shielded Su Zifang's sense of touch, but not his sense of smell, and the aroma that kept tumbling out of the pot drilled into his nose, which made him greedy.
After about half an hour, Monk Wensi scooped out a bowl of soup and tried it salty, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and instructed the little novice on the other side: "This pot of soup is ready, I will use two bowls, and save the rest until the time of fasting." ”
"Master Xie Wensi. Little Shami was delighted to see that he could make one less pot of soup.
Monk Wensi stopped the vegetables, only took out two bowls of clear soup and poured them into a small pot on the side, poured in the shredded mushrooms and shredded winter bamboo shoots, stirred well, hooked a thin layer of thickener, added shredded tofu and fine salt, gently rotated the shredded tofu on the soup noodles with a spoon to spread out, and finally added shredded cabbage.
After the soup is bright, fragrant, it is divided into two bowls along the edge of the pot, covered with the lid of the bowl, and the monk Wensi walked out of the kitchen with the tray in his hand.
"Is the mage ready?" Zheng Banqiao didn't know when he came to the hall, and he was immediately overjoyed when he saw Monk Wensi appear.
"It's the first time I've seen Mr. Itabashi so excited. It seems that the monk's words are not as good as the monk's fasting. Monk Wensi placed the tray on the table and uttered a long sigh.
"No, I have heard too much of the monk's words, and the monk's fast has not been eaten, so the two are not the same. ”
Seeing that the two were going to continue the conversation, Su Zi put it next to him and couldn't wait to open the lid of the bowl and taste two bowls first.
"Itabashi is reasonable, the monk can't say. Monk Wensi motioned for Zheng Banqiao to take a seat, "Then Mr. Banqiao has eaten the monk's fast, and then come and talk to the monk." ”
"Very good!" Zheng Banqiao stroked his beard slightly, his face full of joy.
When the bowl is opened, the ink outline outlined by the shredded shiitake mushrooms, the shredded tofu and bamboo shoots are left blank, and the shredded cabbage is green, and the bowl seems to contain a good splashed ink landscape painting.
"Is this tofu soup?" Zheng Banqiao was a little incredulous.
"I don't have a name yet, but the main ingredient is tofu, so let's guess it. Monk Wensi said indifferently.
"The mage's craftsmanship is really wonderful!" Zheng Banqiao's admiration is from the heart, he has seen and eaten a lot of delicacies in his life, but he is still the first person who can make tofu like this.
"Appetite, sin. Unexpectedly, Monk Wensi shook his head when he heard this, and stopped talking.
Zheng Banqiao understood the thoughts of Monk Wensi, and said with relief: "'Zi said: 'Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine', if the people of the world are not bored, how can they have a delicious appetite? ”
That's what Mr. Itabashi said. Monk Wensi thought for a while, agreed with Zheng Banqiao's statement, and immediately smiled: "This is very good." ”
"Let's get started. Zheng Banqiao persuaded Monk Wensi and couldn't wait to stretch out the spoon.
The hair-thin tofu shreds melt in your mouth, and the fresh and smooth taste makes Zheng Banqiao's brows stretch, and the softness of the shredded shiitake mushrooms and the crispness of the bamboo shoots complement each other, bursting out with an incomparable taste in the mouth. The occasional shredded cabbage is supplemented with the last hint of sweetness, and the aftertaste is endless.
With a spoonful of belly, Zheng Banqiao couldn't help but put down the reservedness of a scholar, picked up the bowl and ate the whole bowl of tofu soup like a wind, and let out a sigh of praise: "It's really delicious in the world!"
"Since Master Wen Si doesn't have a name for this dish, and it was made in the dining hall, it is not suitable for flashy and vulgar things, so it might as well be called Wen Si Tofu!"
"Mr. Itabashi is overrated. Monk Wensi was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't resist Zheng Banqiao and still accepted the name.
The picture paused here, slowly began to fade, and after a few seconds, Su Zifang stood in the silent back kitchen again.
Recalling the experience just now, Su Zifang was still excited, even the most advanced virtual reality technology could not realize what he experienced, and he was able to witness the birth of Wensi Tofu with his own eyes.
Turn on the system again, and a countdown will be displayed on the video screen: 47:59:47.
It seems that this video can only be watched once every two days.
In addition to being disappointed, Su Zifang was a little excited, fortunately it was not a one-time thing. It doesn't matter if you look at it, or wait.
"Buzz, buzz......"
In his pocket, Su Zifang's mobile phone began to vibrate, and when he took it out, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number in Jingling City.
He didn't have the habit of answering strange calls, but when he first came to Jingling, he had his own phone, and it should be a few neighbors on Xile Street, so after thinking about it, he pressed answer: "Hello, Su Zifang, may I ask who you are?"
"Boss Su, I wish you a good start. A familiar voice came from Su Zifang on the phone, but he racked his brains and didn't figure out whose voice it was.
It stands to reason that all the people on Joy Street who can call him have already come. There seems to be no one in Jingling City among the classmates in the old south.
After being stunned for a moment, Su Zifang still spoke honestly: "Hello, who are you? I don't have a number here, I'm sorry." ”
"Chai Ya. The female voice on the other end of the phone didn't expect Su Zi to be so straight, and specially added, "Government affairs hall, help you apply for the certificate." ”
"Oh, it's you. Su Zifang instantly had an impression, as if the girl said that she was going to come to cheer. He thought it was polite, but he didn't expect the other party to really call.
"Remember to save the number this time, Boss Su, don't let the nobles forget too much. Chai Ya's voice came softly from the phone.
"Okay, okay. Su Zifang hurriedly responded and asked, "You won't call just let me save one number, right?"
"Yes, I almost forgot, that is, Boss Su, will you make that kind of food that is delicious, but will not grow meat. I've recently lost weight, but I'm too hungry. Chai Ya's voice became smaller and quieter, and there was no sound at all, probably thinking that the request for food that does not grow meat is a bit excessive.
Su Zifang recalled the appearance of Chai Ya in his memory, as if, this girl is only more than 90 pounds, right? This is still going to lose weight! I really don't understand the girl's mind, but he didn't say it.
After all, just when he wanted to refuse, the system's taskbar appeared!
[Task: Ask the host to make delicious but not meaty dishes for diners, because the system rewards will be issued in advance because of the "admiration" for satisfying the achievement. 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe: shrimp cakes]
