75. Stir-fried hemp tofu

This round of Ningxi and the chef from Wanfuju went in together, and the last round of competition between Shuangxilou and Wanfuju officially began.

The chef at Manfuju chose more than 30 eggs and a plate of fine scallops and shrimp.

And the materials Ning Xi chose were a little more embarrassing, the name of the dish she reported was fried hemp tofu, what is hemp tofu? That's pretty uncatchy stuff.

The people at the bottom of the capital love to drink a thing called "bean juice", which is actually the scraps of the powder room, the powder room is the place where the powder skin and starch are produced, the mung beans are placed on the stone mill, and the water is added with the milling, and the things that are ground out are made into soybean milk at the top of the thin, which is used to make mung bean vermicelli and starch, and the remaining scraps are boiled with fire after fermentation, and after filtering with a cloth, what flows down is the bean juice, and the cloth controls the moisture on the side is hemp tofu.

Therefore, bean juice and hemp tofu are inconspicuous scraps, which cannot enter the eyes of those powerful people at all, but because of the cheap price, it is the favorite of many ordinary people.

It is also thanks to the ability of the descendants of the eldest princess's mansion that they were able to prepare these ingredients for her according to Ning Xi's requirements, such as a small piece of sheep's tail oil, a handful of snow mushrooms, green beans, and green leeks, as well as a little dried chili.

The sheep's tail oil is very fat, white, and has a fishy smell, which is also disliked by the upper class.

Ning Xi actually regretted it a little at this time, what did you say she did badly, why did she have to choose this fried sesame tofu to death?

Ning Xi got the materials, and he was not busy making them, so let's see what the chef of Wanfuju planned to do first.

I saw him take out a large basin, and then knock a small hole in the upper and lower ends of the egg, put the upper end to his mouth, and blow it down with all his strength, blowing the egg white out of the eggshell, blowing more than 30 in a row, filling most of the basin.

Then remove from the pan, put the scallops and shrimp into the pan and fry them until golden brown, sprinkle them in a full basin of egg white liquid, and finally steam them through water.

Ning Xi can see it, he is an egg white steamed scallop shrimp, the egg white is white after steaming, and then the golden scallops and shrimp are dotted with it, and the appearance is really good, but these three materials are more or less fishy, he didn't do any measures to remove the fish, and the taste should not be too good.

Ning Xi thought, fighting for appearance, her hemp tofu must not be able to fight, then she can only fight for taste.

Ning Xi unhurriedly cut the sheep's tail oil into small squares the size of small dice, and then cut the green onions, minced ginger, soaked the green beans in water, and cut the snow mushrooms into small short pieces.

Just when she was doing these preparations, the dishes of the chef of Wanfuju next to her were also out of the pot, and she saw a pool of clear water in the porcelain basin as white as jade, in order to reflect the texture of the clear flow of the river water, the egg white liquid was not completely steamed, but steamed to seven ripe, and shook slightly as the person holding the porcelain basin walked.

Golden scallops and shrimp dotted in the meantime, like a bright moon reflected in a pool of clear water, and these bright moons are round or absent, such as silver plates, like jade hooks, the shape is different, indeed the shape is unique.

The chef of Wanfuju sent the porcelain basin to the judges' table and announced the name of the dish aloud: "Spring River Flower Moon." ”

Ning Xi's heart moved, no wonder Wan Laosan would be so confident, if this dish was sent out on a flower boat and when the bright moon reflected the river, it would really be very suitable for the occasion, and the elegance was unparalleled!

After the dishes were delivered, the judges nodded one after another: "Chunjiang Huayue, this name is good!" ”

It's just this taste, Ning Xi smiled faintly, what can be delicious about a pot of half-cooked egg whites?

Ningxi heated the oil pot and began to fry the hemp tofu, this hemp tofu should be fried twice, the first time with green onion in the pot, and then put in the hemp tofu, the hemp tofu is particularly oil-absorbing, and it will instantly suck all the oil in the pot in, at this time, the hemp tofu will be served out first.

Then use chopped green onions and ginger to boil the pot, start to stir-fry the sheep's tail oil, patiently stir-fry all the mutton fat out with high heat, and then put the newly fried hemp tofu in, add salt, yellow sauce, snow mushroom and green beans while frying, this stir-fry process will fry all the oil that the hemp tofu has just sucked in, and the whole pot of hemp tofu is fried loosely, at first glance, it is the same as meat floss.

The fishy smell of mutton fat was covered by the smell of green onions and ginger, and all that was left was the strong aroma of meat, and the judges sniffled: "Fragrant, too fragrant." ”

There are still many chefs who choose to cook vegetarian dishes, and there are really not many who can stir-fry the dishes with such a fragrance, which immediately whetted the appetite of the judges.

In the end, Ning Xi sprinkled green leeks on the hemp tofu, put it up and slightly adjusted the shape on the plate, and then pressed a nest with a spoon in the middle, fried the chili oil with dried chili peppers and poured it into the nest, and sent the dish up with a smile: "Fried hemp tofu, please taste it." If you can eat spicy, please eat from the middle, and if you don't like spicy, please start eating from the side, thank you! ”

Even if these judges are well-informed, after all, they have never been pampered, where would they have thought that this kind of scraps like hemp tofu can actually be eaten by people? As a result, almost no one knows where the ingredients come from, and they only think that it is made of tofu.

"Hey, where's the tofu?" Everyone looked at this plate of meat floss-like dishes, "Is this meat or vegetarian?" ”

However, whether it is meat or vegetarian, this tempting fragrance is enough to prompt the judges to pick up the spoon, each put some into the small bowl in front of them, the first bite feels a little weird, a special sour aroma in the hemp tofu, the first contact is a little difficult for people to accept, but the fragrance attracts them can't help but eat the second bite, after getting used to the taste, you can experience the tender, smooth, fragrant.

After tasting it, the judges had different expressions, this was the most bizarre dish they had ever tasted, but it was fatally tempting, and they had just finished it, and they couldn't help but want to eat it a second time.

After some hesitation, the judges raised the signs in their hands, Tong Guò, Tong Guò, Tong Guò......

That's right, they all want to eat again at the boat cruise.

Such a dish of poor people who can't be on the table can actually convince all the judges with its taste and get a unanimous result, except for Ningxi, I'm afraid no one can do it.

Suddenly I heard a strange voice, and when I looked up, it turned out to be the chef of Wanfuju, his face was pale, his teeth trembled slightly, and he made a faint knocking sound, was he afraid?

The judges smiled apologetically at him, there was another person waiting for the results! It turns out that the appearance of the "Spring River Flower Moon" is so good-looking, no one can bear to destroy it, but the judges haven't tasted it yet!

Picking up the spoon, scooping up the trembling egg white cubes, and putting them in the mouth, the judges' brows furrowed, perhaps because the expectations were too high, the taste of this dish was really disappointing, especially after it cooled, the fishy smell was even more obvious.

However, the appearance and appropriateness of this dish are really inseparable, and in the end, this dish still won eight votes.

The chef of Wanfuju had a face like ashes, and walked out with Ning Xi, who had a normal face.

The people outside understood what was going on as soon as they saw the looks of the two, Wan Laosan didn't say a word, strode over and slapped the chef in the face with a heavy slap: "Bastard, how do you cook the dishes?" Didn't you say that this dish is sure to win? “

The cook was so slapped that he staggered out a few steps, finally stabilized himself, turned around, and wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth: "Palm, the shopkeeper's life!" ”

Ning Xi sneered: "Boss Wan, it's not right for you to do this, this master has won eight votes, which can be regarded as a very remarkable, and this 'Spring River Flower Moon' is indeed unique, even Ning Xi is breathtaking, but the taste is a little worse, as long as it is slightly improved, it will definitely become the signature dish of your Wanfuju, but if you treat your chef like this, who will really work for you in the future?" ”

Wan Laosan roared: "It's not your turn to take care of the affairs of my Wanfuju!" He pointed to a few chefs who had just participated in the competition, "Get out, get out of here, Wanfuju doesn't leave such useless waste!" ”

Rong Daquan walked up and said to a few chefs in Wanfuju: "I think you should change the owner as soon as possible, with such a host, how can there be a good life." ”

Ning Xi also said: "If you can't find a good place to go, he opened a branch in Shuangxi Building, and you are welcome to apply." ”

The former imperial chef glanced at Ning Xi, snorted heavily, and brushed his sleeves away, and the remaining two chefs still wanted to plead with Wan Laosan, but as soon as they saw his face as black as the bottom of a pot, they were too frightened to step forward.

An Mingyue was not afraid of him, and said triumphantly: "How is it?" Wan Laosan, obediently give up on the boat! ”

"I'm not convinced, the three of us chefs are obviously all clear, why do you want us to quit!" The cruise flower party is held every five years, and he has been preparing for five years, and finally waited for this opportunity, how can he be willing to give up like this.

The steward of the eldest princess's mansion who had just been invited by them was unhappy: "Dare you invite me over just to talk about a joke?" ”

"Don't dare!" Ning Xi said, "This competition was provoked by Wanfuju looking down on our Shuangxi Building and deliberately trying to drive us out of the cruise ship flower party. ”

The steward cleared his throat: "I hereby announce that I will cancel the qualification of Wanfuju to participate in the cruise flower party!" ”

"Great!" Meng Shuangshuang and An Mingyue both jumped up, Wang Dongping was also overjoyed, only Ning Xi and Rong Daquan could still maintain their composure, in fact, they also had a sense of pleasure in their hearts.

It wasn't until she left the eldest princess's courtyard that Ning Xi remembered that her original intention was obviously to be angry with Jun Qianyu, and she deliberately didn't know how to choose, why did she get so happy when her brain was hot?
