403 Dragon and Phoenix Carving Knife

Su cuisine pays attention to the fine color of the dishes, the utensils are beautiful, today's set of utensils is also extraordinary, all are Lang red kiln roast boutiques, and finally this Wensi tofu as the main dish is placed in a Lang red big cup, open the lid of the cup, inside is a shallow half cup of clear chicken soup floating on all kinds of filaments, jade is bamboo shoots, black is shiitake mushrooms, white is chicken shreds and tofu shreds, because they are cut as thin as human hair, floating on the soup noodles, just like countless stamens, making this dish look like autumn chrysanthemum blooming.

Mr. Huang glanced at the arrangement of the various filaments in the soup cup, and sniffed the soup carefully, then nodded slightly, he is a contemporary 'imperial chef', not to mention an ordinary chef, even if the diligent master accidentally cooks a little off-standard, he can also be seen by him at a glance, there are not many people who can make him nod, let alone taste it himself.

After nodding slightly, he actually picked up the spoon, gently scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and began to taste it with a slight squint.

"This kind of style, just like those old men......"

Su Momo muttered in her heart, remembering the four old men she had seen in the big wine tank, these old men are now convinced by Zhou Dong, and they will naturally not be like this for Zhou Dong's dishes, but when they meet the dishes made by several of Zhou Dong's students, they also have to look at the dishes and smell them twice, as if they are worried that the dishes are poisonous, and they are the most annoying people who work as waiters in the hotel.

The middle-aged fat man has long been stunned, he is not an ordinary person, not to mention the eight major cuisines on weekdays, even some small cuisines that are not very famous in China have also been eaten, but he has just come to Chudu for a short time, and the waiters here don't know him yet.

Let's just say that this Wensi tofu, he has also eaten it dozens of times, but whether it is the taste of the soup base or the delicacy of the knife skills, this is the first time I have seen it today!

The crisp chicken soup does not feel greasy and fat at all, but it is like a flowing energy liquid, and wherever you go, there is a comfortable ironing, which makes people feel calm and happy, as if they have been replenished with three points of vitality in an instant.

In particular, the various 'silks' floating on the broth, when they touch the tongue and teeth, they only feel that the silk is lingering, like love, but when you are just ready to taste it, they will melt away, and the flavors of various ingredients are intertwined and blended in the mouth, as if it has evolved into all kinds of flavors in the world and all kinds of things in the world in an instant, which makes people feel that this is not an ordinary dish, but a life.

I have eaten Wensi tofu dozens of times, but it was not until this time that the fat man understood why this dish was named 'Wensi', he was not a surging talent, but at this moment, he felt that Wensi was surging, and it was a great pity not to make a poem to praise this dish.

I was thinking about where this poem should start, how to make it amazing, and how to make a good relationship with this chef Zhou without leaving a trace, but was interrupted by an inopportune dry cough, and suddenly my heart was furious, and I turned my head to look, and saw that it was Mr. Huang who was coughing, and suddenly my anger turned into curiosity: "Mr. Huang, who are you?"

"Hehe, I'm nothing, I just feel sorry for this Wensi tofu......"

"It's a pity?"

The middle-aged fat man secretly said that this is a pity, do you know that this is the most delicious and 'Wensi' Wensi tofu I have ever tasted?

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to say this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang said that it is a pity, then there must be something wrong with this dish, this girl, is it convenient to invite Chef Zhou over?"

He is an understanding person, and Mr. Huang and Chef Zhou can't afford to offend him, and these words sound polite enough at both ends, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Su Momo smiled: "Sir, is there something wrong with this dish?"

"Hehe, this Wensi tofu is the best dish I've ever tasted, of course, excluding the ...... I made myself"

Mr. Huang was not modest, and said with a smile: "No matter how the soup is hung, the flavor is combined, and the heat is grasped, there is nothing wrong with it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the level of the grandmaster, but it is a pity that this sword skill is ......."

"What's wrong with the sword skills? I heard that you are a diligent senior, you have to explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't agree!"

Without waiting for Su Momo's interface, two people had already walked into the private room, one was Zhou Dong, who came to meet this diligent senior, and the other was Lu Luxin, who was puffing up, the middle-aged fat man took a deep look at Zhou Dong, and quickly got up and said: "Hello Chef Zhou, my surname is Lu ...... I ......"

"Oh, hello Mr. Lu, please take a seat, Mr. Lu. ”

Zhou Dong's gaze swept over the tiger's mouth on the right hand of the fat man, and he immediately knew that this was not an insider, so he turned his head to look at the mysterious Mr. Huang.

Lu Luxin, like him, found the target at a glance, and looked at the surnamed Huang angrily.

If she is really a diligent senior, of course she will not be presumptuous, but she has also participated in many diligent activities with her senior brother and Old Man Huang, not to mention the provincial and municipal level, even the Chinese Cooking and Food Association has also been there, and the famous chefs in the world are basically familiar, but no matter how she recalls, she has never seen the one in front of her, needless to say, this is most likely a mallet pretending to be an expert.

You have a mallet, and you dare to accuse your aunt and grandmother of having a problem with her knife skills, have you ever heard of a knife?

Lu Luxin is willow eyebrows are upside down, apricot eyes are round, at this moment, don't say that this person in front of her may be a fake expert, he is a real master, since her temper has come up, the other party does not leave with two hands, and does not want to leave easily.

"Since it's a 'senior', then let's follow the rules, please?"

Diligent rules, accusing the chef of cooking skills in public, you have to say what the problem is, or show your hands to show your cleverness, otherwise you have to make a tea in public to make amends, and allow people to spread the matter to the whole Qinxing, if this Mr. Huang is a consumer to find faults, even if he can't get to the point in the end, Lu Luxin may not care about him, but since he claims to be a diligent senior, he has to follow the rules.

"Oh, so this Wensi tofu isn't Chef Zhou's chopping board, it's yours?"

Mr. Huang was slightly stunned, feeling a little headache, he thought it was Zhou Dong's chopping board, but he didn't expect to provoke a female chef, as the saying goes, a good man doesn't fight with a woman, not to mention what is his identity......?

looked at Zhou Dong and said: "Chef Zhou, isn't it right for you to do this? Wensi tofu is different from other dishes, not to mention that you are still a private dish here, even in a public restaurant, the chef who cherishes a little feathers will definitely not give the cutting board to others, not to mention that he is still a female chef, you, you, you, ......."

Lu Luxin was even more angry when she heard this, okay, this mallet actually discriminates against women and sex, how can it be reasonable!

"What's wrong with the woman? You can tell me, what's wrong with my female chef's knife skills, if you can't say it, you have to set me tea today and admit your mistakes, this is the rule of diligence, I don't care if you are a real senior or a fake senior!"

Zhou Dong frowned slightly: "Boss Hua......"

This Mr. Huang may be blowing a little bigger, but after all, he is also over fifty years old, almost the same as his father, Zhou Dong thinks that the 'old man' should still be respected, there are some bad people who have become old these years, but this Mr. Huang is not like that kind of person.

"Don't worry about it, it's my business!"

It's no wonder that Lu Luxin is angry, she was originally famous for her sword skills, and many diligent seniors praised her, even Old Man Huang said that she was extremely talented, and her talent in knife skills was not even below Zhou Dong.

If someone else found fault with her stir-fry and the cold dish she didn't make properly, she wouldn't be so angry, but this fake expert awesome mallet said that her knife skills were problematic as soon as she came up, and she couldn't bear this breath anyway.

"Hehe, Chef Zhou, everyone says that you are the only young grandmaster in Huaxia Qinxing for fifty years, will you tell me that you don't see that there is a problem with this female chef's knife skills, right?"

Mr. Huang is also clever, and he threw the question to Zhou Dong first.

Zhou Dong smiled: "Lu Anvil asked you, and it was you who said that there was a problem, why did you let me answer? If you are really a diligent senior, shouldn't you do this?"

"Hehe, that makes sense, okay ...... then"

Mr. Huang glanced at Lu Luxin and said, "Lu Anvil, I wonder if you can give me a bowl of water?"

Lu Luxin nodded: "Momo, bring a bowl of water to this Mr. Huang!"

Su Momo had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when she heard the words, she ran to the back kitchen and quickly brought a bowl of water.

"Look carefully, chef. ”

Mr. Huang smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks and shot like lightning, every time he dipped in this cup of Wensi tofu, and then clicked it in the clear water bowl, and every time he clicked, there would be an extra shredded tofu in the clear water bowl.

"In this Wensi tofu, all kinds of ingredients need to be cut into thin strips like hair, the finer the better, and there is no end to it, among which cutting tofu shreds is the most difficult.

This female chef's knife skills are actually quite good, in terms of knife skills alone, even if she is listed as a first-class chef, she deserves her name, so there is no problem with the shredded mushrooms, shredded chicken, shredded bamboo shoots, and shredded ham you cut, but is this shredded tofu ......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Huang suddenly stopped his chopsticks, pointed to the clear water bowl with a smile and said: "In order to save time, I will pick out eighteen problematic tofu shreds, you better look at it yourself, if you can't see clearly, it's best to borrow a magnifying glass." ”

Zhou Dong frowned secretly when he saw it on the side, when he was in the back kitchen, he saw that Lu Luxin's knife skills were slightly flawed, but it was only a flaw, not a mistake, and in terms of the knife skills required for this Wensi tofu, Lu Luxin was already more than ninety percent of Huaxia chefs, and it was definitely excellent.

What's more, she is still a girl, not to say that she discriminates against women and sex, after all, women are born with little strength, and they still have to maintain their skills and breathing extremely stable while carrying a heavy kitchen knife, which is more difficult than men in itself, so although Zhou Dong saw some flaws, he didn't say it, just because Lu Luxin had done a good enough job, and it was too hypocritical to find fault with it.

But Mr. Huang, who claims to be a diligent senior, is a hypocritical person!

"There's a problem, what's the problem?"

Lu Luxin rubbed her eyes, approached and took a closer look, she really didn't see anything for a while, and finally found a magnifying glass in anger and leaned on the soup cup to watch carefully.

Through the five-fold magnifying glass, I finally saw clearly what Mr. Huang was talking about.

The eighteen shredded tofu were first of all slightly different in thickness, either thicker or slightly thinner than the soup cup, and almost all of them were not completely cut, that is, the hand holding the knife was not warm enough when she put down the knife, or her breath was not uniform enough.

There was even one that was almost cut off, and the incision was already seemingly connected, and it was estimated that if it was soaked in the soup for a while, it might become two.

Gently putting down the magnifying glass, Lu Luxin didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly turned her head to look at Zhou Dong: "No wonder you didn't make a comment when you were in the back kitchen, in fact, you have already seen it, right?"

When Mr. Huang heard this, he also looked at Zhou Dong with a smile: "Chef Zhou has already seen it on the cutting board? ”

He waited for the dish to be ready, and the shredded tofu was floating and scattered on the soup noodles before he saw the problem, but Zhou Dong saw it at the stage of the chopping board in the back kitchen, although he also saw the problem, the difficulty was very different.

"Hehe, Mr. Huang said with a smile......

Zhou Dong diverted the topic and said: "In fact, in my opinion, your requirements are too strict, I'm afraid there are not many chefs in Huaxia who can do it, after all, this dish is inextricably linked, who can guarantee that every piece of tofu shredded will not have problems?"

What's more, the problems you pointed out will not affect the finished dishes, and even the impact on the taste is negligible and almost zero, even the top gourmets probably won't find fault with it like this. ”

Although the words are polite enough, in fact, the meaning in and out of the words is that the surname Huang is too hypocritical, and he is picky to the extent that he surpasses the poisonous tongue. ”

Although Lu Luxin was convinced, she refused to accept it, and said: "This 'senior' is right, my sword skills may not have reached the level of perfection, but if the predecessor is you, can I do it?"

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger, which means that in diligence it means to challenge face-to-face.

"Hehe, I can't imagine that after decades, people in the diligent line have forgotten about me...... old guy"

Mr. Huang smiled: "Chef Zhou, on the Qinxing weapon spectrum decades ago, I, Huang, was also famous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is your senior, right?"

"Sir?"

Zhou Dong was stunned for a moment, remembering that Ling Zhenfeng did not hesitate to find all kinds of excuses to fight with himself for the sake of the ranking of the diligent weapon spectrum, and suddenly felt a headache, could this 'senior' in front of him also come for himself?

"Don't worry, I'm not challenging you, because I'm ranked ahead of you, and many years ago I had a not-so-nice nickname, Dragon and Phoenix Carving Knife!"

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "But I can give you a chance to challenge me, I wonder if Chef Zhou is interested?"

"You...... You're the dragon and phoenix carving knife?"

Lu Luxin looked at Mr. Huang with wide eyes,

Although the ranking of the diligent weapon spectrum is just a family's words, and whether it is the old score of Baiyusheng back then, or the new score of Baiweisheng today, it is not the comprehensive strength of the chef that is examined, but a certain strength, such as the dragon and phoenix carving knife in front of him, if you let him go to the steaming dog and ignore it, it is estimated that he will not be able to win against Zhou Dong no matter what.

However, the Qinxing weapon spectrum has a huge influence in Qinxing, and all the sword masters in China regard this dragon and phoenix carving knife, which ranks second on the old score, as an idol, and Lu Luxin is no exception.

Losing in the hands of his idol doesn't seem to be embarrassing, Lu Luxin's anger suddenly subsided, how did you see how Mr. Huang was unpleasant before, but now how do you see how comfortable he is, well, if he is dozens of years younger, he can basically catch up with Lao Zhou's heels, and he is barely a handsome old guy?

"There can be no mistake. ”

Mr. Huang smiled slightly, just looked at Zhou Dong and said, "Chef Zhou, I wonder if you can let me see the sword skills of you, a diligent young master?"

Don't forget, I'm a guest today, and as the chef of private dishes, I should come up with the best dishes to satisfy the guests, and obviously this Wensi tofu can't satisfy me......"

What is this called? The one who is ranked behind him wants to fight, obviously he is ranked in front of him, but he also has to find an excuse to fight, Zhou Dong only feels that his head is as big as a fight.

The fat middle-aged man watched it with relish on the sidelines, good guys, a bunch of chefs are as good as martial arts, and what other weapons are there?

Lu Luxin suddenly whispered in Zhou Dong's ear: "Old Zhou, if you can win Mr. Huang, my idol will be you in the future!"

Zhou Dong suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this is messy enough, what kind of mess are you still wrapping up.

However, Mr. Huang really had nothing to say about him as a guest, so he could only nod and say: "Since Mr. Huang said so, I will remake a copy of Wensi Tofu, and ask Mr. Huang for more advice." ”

"Hehe, I don't dare to advise, I'm just waiting to taste Chef Zhou's craftsmanship!"

Mr. Huang laughed, there are countless chefs in the world, as an 'old man', if you want to find a master of diligence to be the head chef, you can find a few at will, but not just anyone has the opportunity to meet his old man, at least, if Zhou Dong can't pass this level, Mr. Xiao will directly veto it.

Only twenty minutes after Zhou Dong left, he personally brought a piece of Wensi tofu, gently placed it on the dining table and said, "Mr. Huang, please taste it." ”

"So fast?"

Mr. Huang frowned slightly, even if the broth was hung in advance, and all kinds of ingredients had already been prepared, but this dish took a lot of time just on the knife skills, and he had already reported his name, so it was said that Zhou Dong should be cautious, even if the knife skills were good, it would take about half an hour to be safe.

I remade Wensi tofu so quickly, didn't I take my dragon and phoenix carving knife to heart?

Gently lifting the lid of the soup cup, Mr. Huang stared intently at the shredded tofu floating on the soup noodles, with his experience and eyesight, if Zhou Dong's knife skills were slightly flawed, he could see it at a glance without a magnifying glass.

"Is there any flaw?"

Mr. Huang's eyes widened, and he looked at this cup of Wensi tofu over and over again, only to see that the filaments cut into various ingredients were listed, even the most difficult tofu shreds, no matter the length or thickness, were the same, and the front and side knives were full of heat.

"Is this possible! Could it be that there is anyone in Huaxia who has such sword skills besides me and those hidden god chefs?"
