Chapter 248: The Most Authentic Way to Make Mapo Tofu!
Mapo tofu is a dish produced in the early 20th century, created by Liu, the owner of a small restaurant in Chengdu, because Liu's face has pockmarks, known as Chen Mapo, so she created the roast tofu, called "Chen Mapo Tofu", and gradually evolved into Mapo Tofu.
Mapo tofu is a vegetarian dish in many people's minds, but in fact, the original recipe of this dish is to put beef.
Mapo tofu is mainly spicy, the taste of hemp comes from Sichuan pepper, and the spicy taste comes from chili, it is a typical Sichuan dish, and its reputation is far and wide, because the time for this dish to appear has reached the late Qing Dynasty, so there is no chance to join the luxury feast of the Manchu and Han banquets, but as far as Ye Chui is concerned, this dish is definitely qualified to rank among the Manchu and Han full seats, and compared with the famous tofu seven products in the Manchu and Han full banquets, they are not fading.
In addition to the spicy characteristics, the characteristics of this dish are "hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh, live", plus hemp and spicy, to eat authentic mapo tofu, these eight flavors are indispensable, and the crisp refers to the crisp of the beef filling. When making this dish, the beef filling is used as an ingredient, and after cooking, the beef becomes golden in color, red and crispy, and the grains are distinct, crispy in the mouth, and melts in the mouth.
In this world, because of the vegetarian movement, there is no beef in the making of mapo tofu, don't look at the whole dish of beef only occupies a very small part, but the crispy taste it brings is indispensable, and the addition of beef has sublimated the taste of mapo tofu in this world.
Lin Zhengdao's eyes lit up when he saw the mapo tofu brought by Su Xin, and he couldn't wait to take a bite, just because he had eaten Ye Chui to make this dish - at that time, Ye Chui was made for Lafayette to eat, and at that time, Lafayette ate more because it was too delicious.
The vegetarian movement has caused animal poison for 80 years, and the authentic practice of mapo tofu has been lost.
Lin Zhengdao's three henchmen. Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Chen heard Lin Zhengdao's praise for this dish, so they naturally became extremely curious, and hurriedly took a bite to eat, they had all eaten mapo tofu in various restaurants, but Ye Chui's dish completely brought them a new sense, so that the three of them couldn't help but have a touch of "this dish is really delicious" expression on their faces.
They naturally don't mind patting the boss's ass when they are subordinates, but the surprise at this moment is worthy of the name.
"This mapo tofu seems to be different from what I used to eat, is it a new method?"
"The taste is really much better than what I used to eat. Looks like there's beef in it? ”
"This dish looks greasy, but it feels fresh in your mouth, and it's really delicious."
The three of them were busy praising each other.
"Authentic mapo tofu is not like this at all, this dish is made randomly at first glance, how can it be delicious!" Lu Bing was anxious when he saw this, and couldn't help but accuse, "There's still beef in here?" Ha, it's the first time I've heard that you have to put beef in it to make mapo tofu......"
"Master Lu!" Lin Zhengdao's face was already faintly angry, "Do I still need you to talk about whether the food is delicious or not?" ”。
Lu Bing was slightly shocked. Hurriedly said: "Of course not, Mr. Lin, you ...... to eat."
Lin Zhengdao snorted lightly, his expression softened slightly, and then he thought of something again. looked at Lu Bing and said, "You say, this dish was made by a teenager?" ”
"That's right." Lu Bing thought that Lin Zhengdao was dissatisfied with this matter, so he hurriedly continued, "Only seventeen or eighteen years old. I just came to the hotel yesterday, and I brought my girlfriend with me...... What did he think of this place? ”
Hearing Lu Bing's words, Lin Zhengdao's face was slightly stunned. This flavor of mapo tofu, teenager, with a girlfriend...... Lin Zhengdao suddenly understood something, and smiled bitterly: "This little rabbit cub ...... Scold! ”
Lu Bing was a little puzzled by Lin Zhengdao's reaction, and looked at Lin Zhengdao strangely.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhang next to him asked strangely.
"You've got a blessed mouth today." Lin Zhengdao smiled a little mysteriously and said, "Look forward to the delicious food you will eat, I promise you will not be disappointed." ”
Lin Zhengdao's reaction made Lu Bing's face look ugly, and he felt that Lin Zhengdao's words were deliberately aimed at him, just now he accused the current chef of Honglou of being a young man with poor cooking skills, but Lin Zhengdao said that this dish is very delicious, and he has a good mouth - this is actually Lu Bing thinking too much, Lin Zhengdao is a person who likes it, and if he doesn't like it, if he hates Lu Bing, just say it directly, where will he use the dish as an excuse to fight Lu Bing?
For Lin Zhengdao, Lu Bing is also a small person, the kind he doesn't have to care about at all.
When a dish of mapo tofu was about to be eaten, the next dishes were also served one after another - scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, white-cut lotus root, and tiger white pepper......
Lin Zhengdao is more and more sure that it is Ye Chui who is cooking below, although he is not a gourmet, but the food is delicious and unpalatable, this difference can still be tasted, Ye Chui's cooking skills he has already seen, simple dishes can also exude amazing charm in his hands, these dishes are definitely Ye Chui's works.
At the same time, Lin Zhengdao also quietly glanced at Lu Bing, who was completely left on his side.
Lu Bing looked at Lin Zhengdao's food so sweet, and it was not impossible to walk awkwardly standing awkwardly, and when he came into contact with Lin Zhengdao's eyes, Lu Bing immediately said apologetically: "Boss Lin, since you are eating, then I won't bother......"
"Hehe, if you meet, you just wait here first, I'll finish eating soon." Lin Zhengdao said with a smile.
He didn't know how Ye Trai and Lin Wei offended this Lu Bing, and let Lu Bing play with right and wrong just now, but since this matter had been bumped into by him, he naturally wanted to help Ye Trai and Lin Wei.
"This ......" Lu Bing couldn't guess Lin Zhengdao's plan, so he had to nod and say, "Okay then." ”
One after another the dishes were served, Lin Zhengdao and his three subordinates all ate very happily, before Lin Zhengdao told the three henchmen that they had taken it orally, the three of them still didn't understand, but now they fully understand why the boss said so.
Although these dishes are all simple dishes, the taste in the mouth is different and endless.
They chose to eat in Honglou, originally to discuss some important matters, but now it seems that they have forgotten all the important things.
The dishes were served one by one, and soon came to the last dish, which was also the simplest dish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Inside the kitchen.
Su Xin saw Ye Chui pour the red and yellow tomato scrambled eggs into the plate, and immediately went to serve the dish, but Lin Wei took the plate first: "Sister Su, I'll serve this dish." ”
"Oh, okay." Su Xin nodded.
Ye Chui went to wash his hands, wiped his hands with a towel, and took off the apron on his body: "I'll go up with you." ”
The two left the kitchen, and Pan Qingguo and the others were very interested in the relationship between Lin Weiye and Lin Zhengdao, and hurriedly followed, wanting to go up to see the excitement.
All the way to the third floor.
Yu Yan stood outside the box, he had already re-lit a cigarette in his mouth, and was looking left and right vigilantly, when he saw the figures of Ye Chui and Lin Wei, he was stunned, and couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and found that the girl who walked in front was indeed Lin Wei, and the cigarette butt in this honest and tall mouth fell directly to the ground: "Weiwei!?" ”
"Hehe, hello Brother Yu." Lin Wei greeted with a bit of sly.
Yu Yan stepped on the cigarette butt on the ground, thought about it, picked it up again and threw it in his pocket, his eyes scanned the faces of Lin Wei and Ye Droi: "You...... Why are you two here? ”
"I'll deliver food to my father." Lin Wei shook the plate in her hand proudly and said with a smile.
Yu Yan: "......"
Not to mention that Yu Yan is a little petrified here, and Pan Qingguo and the others who came with him are also petrified: Dad?
Ye Chui smiled bitterly, nodded to Yu Yan as a greeting, and pushed the door of the box open, while Lin Wei tried to pretend to be serious and walked in with a plate.
In the box, Lin Zhengdao was eating a bowl of rice very sweetly, and he didn't look at it when someone came in, thinking that it was the waiter who delivered the food, but he saw the plate of tomato scrambled eggs in front of him, and a crisp voice said: "Sir, your tomato scrambled eggs." ”
"Thank you......" Lin Zhengdao said, then he was stunned, turned his head to look at the waiter beside him, the expression on his face was quite wonderful for a moment, "Weiwei...... What are you doing? ”
"Hehe, isn't it a surprise?" Lin Wei said with a somewhat mischievous smile.
Lu Bing didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw Ye Chui, his face subconsciously showed a little disgust, and he didn't seriously think about why Ye Chui and Lin Wei came here, he immediately accused Ye Chui in a serious voice: "What are you doing here?" Do you understand the rules, do you think what is the place on the third floor of the Honglou, you can come if you want? Can you afford to disturb your guests' meals? ”。
Ye Chui glanced at Lu Bing with idiot eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face, but he didn't say anything to Lu Bing, but smiled at Lin Zhengdao and said, "Uncle, hello." ”
Lin Wei also hugged Lin Zhengdao's shoulders and said with a little coquettishness: "Dad, Ye Chui and I came to Yanjing to see you, are you very moved?" ”
Lin Zhengdao glanced at his daughter, and said helplessly: "You two are really messing around, Ye Chui, Weiwei is going to mess around, why do you follow her as a boyfriend?" ”
"This ...... This is ......" The expression on Lu Bing's face was already stiff, looking at Lin Zhengdao and then at Ye Chui, the amount of information seemed to be too large for a moment, and his head was already about to short-circuit...... (To be continued......)
