"Master Liu Mang, is this dish ready?" asked Andy.

"Well, it's done. Liu Mang nodded.

"But...... What about the tofu flower that was carved just now?" Andy felt a little strange and even more disappointed.

At the beginning, the tofu magnolia flowers carved by Liu Mang were so beautiful, it stands to reason that the finished product should be more amazing, but I didn't expect the effect to be like this.

"Hey, isn't that right?" replied, pointing to the tofu balls placed on the root carving.

The tofu dough on the root carving has a golden skin, shaped like a duck egg, which is not ugly, but it is not good-looking.

"What's going on? Is the magnolia flower carved from tofu like this after it is fried? It might as well not be fried. ”

"yes, that's a bit too big. ”

The audience began to talk about it.

"Master Liu Mang, do you mean to show the Buddhists 'quietly watching the flowers wither and look down on the clouds'?" Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, Andy made a round.

"Well, no. Liu Mang shook his head, looking dazed: "I didn't think about it at all." ”

"Come on! Lao Liu is going to start pretending to be forced!" Lin Xiao in the audience said excitedly.

"Pretending to be forced, pretending to be forced?" The five eyes next to him looked surprised.

"Just wait and see!"

"Mr. Liu Mang, can you taste it now?" asked Basad.

"Not for the time being, this dish still has one last step to complete. ”

"What process?"

Liu Mang smiled, walked to the table with the kettle, and poured the hot soup from the kettle through the opening on the top of the food carving.

"Now...... It's time to witness miracles. ”

The photographer with the camera on his hand immediately pointed the lens at the food eagle on the plate, and came up with a large close-up.

"Alright. After pouring the hot soup in the pot, Liu Mang stopped and stood aside and waited quietly.

"It doesn't seem to have changed. After a while, Andy thought to himself.

"Mr. Liu Mang, what are you waiting for?" asked Basad after about five minutes.

"Shhhhhhhh......h Do you hear the sound of flowers blooming?"

"The sound of flowers blooming?" Bassard was stunned for a moment, and immediately pricked up his ears.

After Liu Mang poured the hot soup into it, the whole food sculpture plant became steamy, as if shrouded in a veil-like mist.

When the mist dissipates, a drop of water drips off the tofu dough and falls into the plate with a crisp 'tick' sound.

"No response?" Bassard looked surprised.

"It's moving, it's moving!" but then one of the audience members in the auditorium shouted.

"It's moving! The tofu ball is moving!" exclaimed more from the audience.

Basad stepped forward, and when he looked carefully at the tofu ball on the food carving, his expression immediately froze on his face: "This...... How is this possible?"

The tofu balls placed on the food sculpture trembled slightly, as if guided by some invisible force, slowly expanding.

"Damn! what's going on?" the five eyes in the audience opened their mouths wide and could stuff a fist.

"Lao Liu is really smart!" Lin Xiao sighed: "The root carving made of his pumpkin is empty, and there must be a small hole reserved under the tofu ball." When the hot soup in the pumpkin seeps out of the hole and soaks the tofu, the tofu ball naturally begins to expand. It's the same as He Donglin soaking fried tofu in clear soup. It's just that this method works more slowly, but it's more visual. ”

"The boss is the boss, I'm really convinced!" Five-Eyes thought about it and sighed in admiration.

In the exclamations of the audience in the hall one after another, the tofu ball placed on the root carving became larger and larger, and finally cracked at a critical point, and the magnolia flowers that Liu Mang began to carve were re-displayed in front of everyone!

"Wow!" A loud commotion resounded through the hall, and although the principle was not clear for the time being, many people involuntarily stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

"Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young. This is the artistic conception of my dish. Liu Mang smiled.

The blooming magnolia is dotted with half-dead branches, and it looks so vibrant, like a living scene animation.

"Master Liu Mang, you ...... Can you tell me, this ...... How did this happen?" said Andy, stammering a little excitedly.

"Okay. Liu Mang took a pair of chopsticks and took a magnolia flower off the food carving.

"See? There's a hole here. ”

The camera zooms in. Sure enough, there was a toothpick-sized hole inside the hole where the magnolia flower was placed, and clear soup was bubbling out.

"The tofu I carved is fried in oil and the moisture inside is completely forced out, and then it curls up into a ball. When I place it on this hole, when it refills up the soup coming out of the hole, it will naturally open again. This is the same principle as soaking dried fungus by yourself. ”

"I see!" After an explanation, everyone understood. I admired Liu Mang even more in my heart.

Being able to apply common physical phenomena to dishes and create such a magical scene is far from being something that ordinary people can do.

"Mr. Liu Mang, can you tell me what it means that the flowers have a reblooming day and no one is young anymore?" asked Bassard as he stepped forward.

"Oh, it means ......," Liu Mang retranslated the meaning of this ancient poem in the vernacular.

"Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young anymore......" Bassard's mouth turned over and over twice: "It's beautiful...... Is this the charm of Chinese culture?"

"Taste it, Monsieur Bassard, if you overbrew it, it will affect the taste, and now is the good time. Liu Mang reminded.

"Okay...... Okay......" Basad, who was still in a trance, picked up chopsticks, picked up a tofu flower from the food carving, and brought it to his mouth.

The petals on the outer layer of the tofu flower have a slight toughness, which is due to the effect of soaking in the soup after frying.

The petals inside are soft and tender, with a hint of sweetness on the palate. With the fresh aroma of tea, the whole person is refreshed.

"It's a wonderful taste!" Bassad gave a thumbs up after tasting a tofu magnolia flower: "I am very honored to see such a dish." ”

【Ding!The bounty task is completed, and the reward is 1 million emotion points, 1,000 exchange points, and 500 points of Divine Chef's Heart Perception. Current Progress: 5565/10000]

The wonderful prompt sound of the kitchen god space sounded in Liu Mang's mind.

"Master Liu Mang, can I taste it too?" Andy on the side couldn't hold back for a long time.

"Absolutely. ”

"Mr. Liu Mang, you are a culinary artist with excellent talent, will you come to this World Chef Competition?" asked Basad again.

"I don't know yet. Liu Mang shrugged: "Look at the mood." ”
