Chapter 548: Where is the Jade Man?
"Well, fortunately, it hasn't been thrown away. After preparing everything for plating, Liu Mang turned out a black marble slab from under the kitchen board.
This slate is left over from Liu Mang's renovation of the kitchen, and it is about one meter long and half a meter wide.
Originally, it was going to be thrown away at first, but later because of the pickles, it was left to press the altar lid.
After carefully cleaning the slate, Liu Mang put the various food carvings he had just carved on it.
With white radish carved into a white arched bridge, green lotus leaves made from cucumber skin, pink lotus flowers carved from beautiful radish in the heart, and marble slabs as black as ink, an ink landscape painting scroll slowly unfolds in front of you.
"Wow!" Wang Ruoxi and the young man stared at the stone slab, letting out one admiration after another.
"Boss, you must have studied art, right? How else would you be able to pose like this?" said the young man with a swear.
"yes......! It's heartbreakingly beautiful!"
"Oh, I studied Chinese painting when I was a child, so I guess I have a little bit of skills. Liu Mang did not deny this, and replied lightly.
"No wonder!" The young man had already thrown away his initial doubts about Liu Mang, and he was only full of admiration in his heart - such a poetic plating, those foreign Michelin chefs couldn't do it, right?
The legs in the steamer were steaming, Liu Mang looked at the time, walked to the side of the steamer, and fanned the hot air coming out of the gap in the steamer with his hand: "Hmm...... It's almost time for the heat. ”
Remove the leg from the steamer, cut the rope tied to it with a knife, and then uncover the skin.
The tofu in the hole trembled, and after the heat of the smoke, it seemed to be about to melt.
Liu Mang carefully scooped it out with a spoon, then took a sharp knife and placed it on top of the stone slab, with the blade facing up.
"Hey, what is the boss trying to do?" the young man said in surprise, rubbing his eyes.
With a flip of Liu Mang's wrist, the mystery was instantly revealed. The tofu that slipped off the spoon immediately divided into two neat pieces as soon as it touched the sharp blade, and fell lightly on the stone slab, turning into two round protrusions.
"Obey! There is still such an operation!" the young man's eyes were about to pop out.
Next, Liu Mang did the same and cut the rest of the tofu in this way.
Suddenly, on the stone slab that had been shaped, twenty-four full moons appeared, which just fit the theme of the ancient poem of the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges.
"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! The food I ate was not like this at all. The young man rubbed his hands and said to Wang Ruoxi next to him.
"Oh, what is that like?" asked Wang Ruoxi.
"It's served directly with the ham, and the artistic conception can't be compared with the boss's current dish. ”
"Please try it. Liu Mang handed over two spoons.
"Wait, I'm going to take a picture first. Wang Ruoxi hurriedly took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the dish on the bar.
The tofu on the stone slab is yellow and translucent, exuding a faint halo under the illumination of the light, with the small bridge, lotus leaves, and lotus flowers next to it, it has not yet tasted, it is already fascinating and dreamlike.
"Eat it, once the tofu cools, the taste will be greatly reduced. Seeing that the two of them were still looking left and right, and refused to move their chopsticks, Liu Mang couldn't help but urge.
"Hey, I'm really reluctant!" The young man held a spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other: "How can I feel guilty about eating such a beautiful dish?"
The young man used chopsticks to pluck the tofu on the slate into a spoon, and then brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
'Ziyu', as the tofu enters the mouth, and then sucks on, the delicious taste immediately bursts out in the mouth.
After soaking the chicken broth, then steaming with heat, and moistening the ham, all the umami is absorbed by this ordinary tofu.
This umami stimulates the taste buds, like a rushing tide, surging in waves, endlessly.
The young man closed his eyes slightly, feeling the taste in his mouth, and his face was intoxicated.
"It's delicious!" Wang Ruoxi tasted a spoonful of tofu and felt like her tears were about to fall.
This tofu is very tender and smooth, and the taste is very light, with only a faint salty taste, but the deliciousness contained in it seems to overshadow all the flavors of the world.
Pure, very pure, and this kind of dish that uses pure freshness to impress people, this is the first time she has tasted it.
"It's wonderful!" the young man opened his eyes: "Boss, you are a waste of your talent in this small shop! You should compete for the position of the chef! You should go and make a state banquet!"
"Chef God...... Isn't the God of Kitchen amazing?" Liu Mang smiled faintly, hiding in his eyes behind the thick lenses, revealing a trace of silence that could not be concealed: "It's just a name." ”
On the moonlit night of the twenty-fourth bridge, where does the jade teach - today's dish, Liu Mang is deeply integrated into his emotions, and the shadow in his heart is the direction he is looking for.
"You eat slowly, I'll clean up. Liu Mang replied, silently walked to the back kitchen, and cleaned the kitchen utensils.
"Xiaoxi, why do I think the boss is becoming more and more familiar the more I look at it, as if I have seen it somewhere before?" the young man leaned into Wang Ruoxi's ear and asked softly.
"Yes, no, it seems that the boss has only been open for a long time, and this is the second time I've been here. ”
"I don't know. The young man shook his head: "Anyway, it feels familiar, maybe ...... Maybe I'm dazzled. ”
"Boss, thank you so much for today's dishes. "After Wang Ruoxi and the others tasted this 'Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night', they got up and thanked Liu Mang.
"Well, if only you liked it. ”
"By the way, how much?" the young man pulled out his wallet.
"Oh, a total of three thousand, the cost price. Liu Mang replied.
"It's not expensive at all. The young man happily counted out a stack of bills: "Even if it doubles again, I think it's worth it!"
"Do you have anything to eat next time?" boss?" asked Wang Ruoxi again as he left.
"Oh, no, the ingredients used to make this dish have been used. ”
"That's right. Wang Ruoxi sighed faintly: "Okay, next time I'll try the boss's other dishes." ”
"Goodbye. ”
"Goodbye. ”
After the two left, the prompt sound of the kitchen god space sounded in Liu Mang's mind.
[Feeling the Heart of the Holy Chef, Current Progress 31/10000]
"10 o'clock, this time there is actually 10 o'clock?" Liu Mang was a little surprised: "Is it because I have absorbed too many feelings?"
Liu Mang stared at the small bridges and lotus flowers left on the stone slabs, and was a little sad: "Touching the scene is sad, probably like this." It's really tiring to make such a dish. ”
