Chapter 42: Do You Want to Eat My Tofu?
Chen Mo held three plates firmly in both hands and walked from the kitchen to the dining table.
There was white heat bubbling from the three plates, blocking Chen Mo's face.
At this time, there was no one in the store, except for Ni Shuai's table, there were only four customers left in the other two tables.
Chen Mo placed three plates of mapo tofu in front of the three of them, and sat on the bench opposite the three of them to rest.
In fact, when he was in the kitchen just now, Chen Mo heard what Chun Xia said.
Sitting here staring at the three of them, especially Chun Xia, Chen Mo's purpose was to let them know that the taste of RB's mapo tofu was definitely no match for China's mapo tofu.
Seeing Chen Mo staring at him, Chun Xia was a little embarrassed.
"Handsome guy, do you want to eat my tofu?" Junxia handed over the spoon and said delicately.
It seems that Chun Xia misunderstood Chen Mo.
"Enough, Shumei, eat your mapo tofu well!" Ni Meili couldn't bear it.
Only then did Chun Xia seriously begin to examine the food in front of him.
At this time, the white heat gradually dissipates, and the mottled color, tempting appetite, and aromatic mapo tofu is completely and clearly presented in front of Chunxia's eyes.
"It looks pretty good. ”
Junxia also seems to have seen a big scene, and uses a spoon to very carefully scoop up a whole piece of tofu with the soup and put it in his mouth.
Chew slowly and carefully.
"Huh?"
It was the expression that Chen Mo wanted.
"This tofu is gypsum tofu, but it is very smooth and tender, not only chewy, but also completely inedible gypsum and beany flavor, how did you do it?"
Faced with Chun Xia's question, Chen Mo replied neatly: "Before putting it in the pot, blanch it with boiling water, add a little salt to the water to remove the gypsum and beany smell, and then put it in clean water to shape it to make the tofu tender and chewy." ”
Chun Xia actually nodded slightly, not too surprised, but made Chen Mo a little surprised.
Chun Xia scooped up a small black meat cube and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm... This minced beef is very chewy, and Q bomb, this should be the crispy in spicy tofu?"
Chen Mo's eyebrows raised, he didn't expect that the RB beauty in front of him had a very professional evaluation of mapo tofu.
"Yes, I stir-fry the minced beef until fragrant, so that the minced beef is crispy and springy to chew. But..."
Chun Xia's eyes widened and looked at Chen Mo.
"However, the taste of crispy does not actually refer to the crisp of minced beef, in fact, this crisp comes from the Sichuan dialect 'crispy', which means that the heat should be sufficient. In the production of this mapo tofu, that is, when the minced beef is fried, it should be cooked on high heat, and the minced beef should not be old at the same time, and the heat should not only be sufficient, but also controlled just right. ”
Junxia showed a thoughtful expression and nodded slowly.
According to Chen Mo, the crispy of the magic mapo tofu on the anime is actually wrong to understand, but it's no wonder, after all, it is not produced in China.
Junxia scooped up another spoonful, this time with the tofu and minced beef.
"Mapo tofu has a rich texture, and the flavor of the soup and seasoning is locked inside the tofu and minced beef, and it gradually spreads as you chew until it fills your mouth, which is really great. ”
"The moment I come out of the pan, I pour hot oil on it, and it instantly locks in the flavor. When Chen Mo saw Chunxia looking at him, he immediately explained.
Junxia nodded again, then leaned down and stared at the garlic sprouts standing on a piece of tofu.
"It's... Ha, I know, this is organic garlic sprouts cultivated in a vessel, you really have the idea to replant the fresh garlic sprouts in the tofu, so that this dish is not only delicious, but also beautiful, fun, and full of fresh breath. ”
Chun Xia ate a few more spoonfuls before she raised her head and stretched out her thumb to Ni Meili, and said with a whimper: "I am in RB, I have never eaten such delicious mapo tofu, and I didn't expect that there is a better dish in China than RB." ”
Although Ni Meili smiled back, Chen Mo was a little unhappy.
What is the meaning of "there is actually a better dish than RB", this mapo tofu is originally a Chinese dish, and now the mapo tofu I make is orthodox, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best mapo tofu.
If it was in the world before Chen Mo, how could RB cuisine compare to Chinese cuisine.
When Chen Mo was still a little angry, Ni Shuai's voice came from the side.
"Big brother, can you add another one?"
Just when Chen Mo was communicating with Chun Xia and Ni Meili, Ni Shuai had already wiped out a plate of spicy tofu!
"Wow, it's delicious. Ni Shuai's mouth was full of red and rich soup of spicy tofu, and he looked funny, which didn't match a formal outfit at all.
"No, you can only order one per person a day. Chen Mo was righteous.
"Hmph, it's a limited edition again, forget it. Ni Shuai was not as knowledgeable as Chen Mo, so he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.
When Chen Mo turned around, the two beauties opposite had actually been liquidated.
How can it be so fast!
Just now, I was still eating spoonful by spoonful in a ladylike sip, but I turned my face around and ate it all.
Chun Xia patted his little belly, showing a satisfied look, but after a while, his brows furrowed slightly, his little face fell, and he said, "Oh, I have eaten too much today, and my weight will definitely rise tomorrow." ”
"Okay, Shumei, your small body, no matter how much you lose it, it's not pretty. Ni Meili comforted.
"Uh... I have a question. Chen Mo suddenly spoke.
Seeing the three of them looking at him, Chen Mo was a little embarrassed.
"I heard this girl introduce herself, her name is Junxia Hoshino, but why do you all call her Shumi?
This question is indeed something that Chen Mo has never been able to figure out.
"Yo, are you interested in our family?" Ni Meili quipped.
"Don't, don't, just forget it. After speaking, Chen Mo quickly stood up and prepared to pack up the dishes and leave.
I don't know when it started, Chen Mo seemed so unnatural and involuntarily nervous when facing girls.
Hey, no experience after all.
It's too hard.
Ni Meili hurriedly waved her hand, motioned for Chen Mo to sit down, looked at Chunxia and said: "My RB friend, the name is indeed Hoshino Junxia, the reason why we call her Shumei, because her nickname is Yo Simi, this is the Japanese pronunciation, it is too strange to call in China, and Yo Simi's corresponding Chinese character in Chinese is called Shumei, so generally as friends, we will call Chun Xia's nickname, or nickname, Shumei." ”
It turned out that this was the case, and Chen Mo figured it out.
"Hey, Chen Mo, you can also call me Shumei, and we can also be friends. Chun Xia's eyes smiled into crescent moons, staring at Chen Mo and smiling.
"Oh, hey, hey. Chen Mo immediately turned red-faced, hurriedly packed up the plates, and walked back to the kitchen, he hadn't come out for a long time, and he didn't have the courage and confidence to cook.
When the three of them were about to leave, Chun Xia suddenly stopped Ni Meili and said, "Why don't we invite him to your birthday party? ”
"Invite him to my birthday party?" Ni Meili repeated.
"That's a good idea!" Ni Shuai immediately chimed in.
"I think they'll want to meet this amazing, young Chinese chef too. ”
Ni Meili looked at Chun Xia's expression, not like she was joking.
