"The key tasting time for this dish is within thirty seconds of the ham being opened, so please try it as soon as possible. ”

After a pause for a few seconds, the waiter continued to speak: "This sentence was personally explained by Master Gu. ”

Gu Pingping asked them to completely restore their appearance when they were walking.

"Then we're welcome!"

"Eat quickly, eat quickly. ”

The reaction of the surrounding chefs was the same as that of Suzifang, and they all stretched out their spoons into the middle of the ham.

"Oh, why is there still soup. Mu Fei scooped up the balls and found that there was a puddle of soup under the tofu.

"This is not soup, it is the essence of all the ingredients condensed in the steamer, and it is very fresh. "Xue Xinjian has eaten it once, and he is obviously more experienced.

"Is that so?"

Su Zifang looked at the tofu balls in the spoon, and blew lightly, and the balls that looked like fish balls shook slightly, showing a softness that did not match the appearance.

When you bite the meatballs, the tender tofu slides into your mouth instantly.

"Fresh!"

"Extremely fresh!"

Su Zifang only felt that he had really encountered a legendary dish that could even swallow his tongue.

The saltiness of the ham, the mellow aroma of the chicken soup, the warm aroma of the ginger, the heaviness of the barrel bones, the intensity of the shiitake mushrooms, and the elegance of the bamboo shoots are all gathered in half a spoonful of tofu in the mouth.

Different from the freshness of a single ingredient, this complex umami presents an extremely complex but harmonious umami after being swallowed in one bite, as if it has tasted the entire change of seasons, understated, thick and colorful, and finally put pen to paper into a vivid picture.

The whole ham hanging from the eaves gradually withered and oily over the years, and after several months of fermentation and maturation, it became shiny and purple-red.

In the mountains and forests, the plump mushrooms rise from the trunks of the trees and open their umbrellas, and a bamboo shoot is dug up by the diligent bamboo shoot-pickers and cleaned by the stream.

The rushing Luhua chicken fell chicken feathers from the wall, and the big white pig in the corner of the wall lazily arched the soil in front of him, and climbed the child more widely.

......

Feeling the rich taste in his mouth, Su Zifang slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood that all the freshness before, whether it was seafood, river fresh, or ground freshness, was all overshadowed before the bright moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridge.

I finally understood why the Hong Seven Guild would be satisfied with such a dish.

Because, it's really delicious enough!

The best taste in the world, but that's it......

Looking at the small half spoonful of tofu in the spoon with emotion, Su Zifang swallowed it almost without hesitation.

However, with the second bite of tofu, the picture changes from natural to full of fireworks.

The two chefs carefully cut out the holes in the ham with a wire saw, and each hole was determined according to the texture, density, fat and thinness of the ham.

The proud Luhua chicken is stripped and placed on a cutting board with the cleaned barrel bones, blanched in boiling water to remove blood foam, and put in a pot to stew with the washed shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

The chef carefully takes out each tofu ball and puts it into the ham, and then carefully covers and seals the ham.

Heat the steamer on the grid, simmer slowly over low heat, and the curling steam soaks in the gaps of the ham, locking the whole pot in the tofu.

After a while, the aftertaste is over.

Su Zifang turned his head to the side and asked Xue Xinjian: "Is this dish a restored ancient dish or is it created by Master Gu?"

Xue Xinjian shook his head: "I don't know much about this, the last time I ate it was a few years ago, Master Gu invited a group of chefs, including my grandfather, to go to Wudi's house to taste the dishes, and this dish was suddenly served during the banquet, which startled us." ”

"But even if it is restored according to ancient books, Master Gu must have made improvements, because the taste is much better than the last time. Xue Xinjian recalled the last time he ate the food and commented.

"The last time I ate it, I steamed half a slice of ham alone, and the taste of tofu was far less strong than it is now, so I thought about the broth, ingredients, and plating. ”

"And these decorations on the ham are probably not only for the sake of beauty, but should also have the effect of circulating air and balancing air pressure. ”

Xue Xinjian pointed to some holes of different depths on the base of half of the ham: "For example, these holes should be specially pulled out to allow the steam to penetrate into the inside of the ham more evenly, so that after the steam seeps into the ham along the ham, all the essence will be absorbed and precipitated, and finally the condensation under the tofu will be formed." ”

"In addition, the position of these tofu is selected to ensure that the aroma and oiliness of the fat are maintained to the most appropriate degree. ”

Xue Xinjian's advantage of having eaten many delicacies was finally reflected, and only a few details deduced the handling method of the bright moonlit night of the Twenty-fourth Bridge.

"I see. Su Zifang instantly understood the key to the cuisine in front of him, and at the same time admired Gu Pingping's creativity to the ground. Being able to use a whole ham as a cooking prop and being willing to spend time and effort to figure out the mysteries of this is indeed the spirit of a true chef.

"Speaking of which, this is only the fifth dish, right? It's already at this level, wouldn't the next few dishes be more delicious?" Zhao Xiaoman put down the spoon and muttered quietly.

Su Zifang was stunned when he heard this, and pinched his finger and said: "Soft-pocketed eel, mirror box tofu, squirrel osmanthus fish, white-robed shrimp, and the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges." ”

Sure enough, there were only five dishes.

But how do you feel that you are already a little full?

"It must be Mu Fei's plan, so that I can eat more by myself after I am full, it must be so. ”

"Damn, I knew I shouldn't have ordered that bowl of rice with him!"

Su Zifang looked at the rice he had only eaten two bites in his hand, showing a deep look of chagrin, and turned his head and complained: "Scheming boy!"

Mu Fei: ???

He didn't do anything!

Before he could ask, Mu Fei was greeted by the waiter: "Hello, there is a dish here, please be careful." ”

A modest casserole is placed on the table.

"Three Ducks, Chef: Xiong Jie, from Deyi Building. ”

Probably just saw the extra-large steamed grid, and the three ducks did not make any waves when they were placed on the table, only Mu Fei, who had the least knowledge, showed a trace of expectation: "I heard that this dish is more particular about eating!"

However, among the few people present, Xue Xinjian and Zhao Xiaoman said that they knew how to pay attention but did not want to do it.

After Mu Fei looked around, he could only look at Su Zifang with a blank eye: "Brother Fang!"

Su Zifang: ......

He just wants to eat melons quietly, why is he forced to pick up a knife and open for business?

Fortunately, I still have an impression when I watched Xue Yi's work before, and the whole process is also presentable, and even the origin of "Seven Smacks Soup" can be popularized for Mu Fei while opening his stomach.

Within a few minutes, there were several more bowls of soup on the table.

Mu Fei took the bowl and took a big sip, tiǎn)tiǎn) lips: "It doesn't seem to be particularly delicious?"

Xue Xinjian tasted it, frowning slightly: "The taste is average." ”

Zhao Xiaoman nodded: "It's a little average." ”

Su Zifang heard the words of the three of them, and picked up the bowl unbelievingly: "How is it possible?"

After a few seconds, he put down the bowl with a complicated expression, revealing the same look: "It seems to be ...... Really average. ”

"Brother Fang, is it because you didn't open your stomach well that you ruined this dish?" Mu Fei asked cautiously.

"Hmm......" Su Zifang twitched the corners of his mouth, "It shouldn't be, right? ”

"I know, it has nothing to do with him!" Xue Xinjian suddenly said!
