Chapter 278: Tofu! Bean curd!
Su Miao of Hongyun Tofu Workshop has not heard of it, but yesterday evening there was indeed a tofu workshop on fire and became the headline of Suzhou people, it is said that the tofu of that tofu workshop is quite delicious, and the owner of the tofu Shih Tzu is also very beautiful.
Tofu Shih Tzu came to the scene today, Ying Ying thanks, thank you for your help and care, when it comes to the emotional place almost choked, the people present are all pity and emotion, the game has just begun, someone has already booked the remaining rescued soybeans and other soy products, and some people proposed to help Tofu Shih Tzu rebuild the Hongyun Tofu Workshop, Tofu Shih Tzu smiled.
Of course, it is a good thing to help others, but this tofu Shih Tzu is indeed beautiful, Su Miao admired in her heart, and the eyes of those old men in the review committee were almost glued to the tofu Shih Tzu.
Hui Gan and Liang Chang didn't know if it was because they avoided suspicion in the decisive match or because Liang Min was not there, they just sat in the judges' seat and played soy sauce and did not participate in the scoring.
The difference between this competition and the previous two competitions is that in addition to the twelve professional judges, a special judge's seat has also been added, and the special judges will be replaced each round, and the special judge of this game is the tofu Shih Tzu Zhu Sanniang who provided these tofus. The duty of the special judges is to cast a special vote after the end of the three-game game, and the player who gets the special vote will not change the total score, but can get a special prize, as for what the special prize is, it will not be announced until the tournament is over.
Although Su Miao was surprised by this rule, she was still looking forward to being recognized by the special judges, although she felt that Zhu Xishi didn't like her, because after Zhu Xishi sat on the judges' seat, she glared at Su Miao unhappily. Then he cast his affectionate gaze on the suave Tong Ran and smiled shyly.
The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she whispered to Huiwei: "That Zhu Xishi seems to hate me very much." ”
"Aren't all women like that? will have an instinctive disgust for girls who are younger and more beautiful than themselves, because of jealousy. Aftertaste replied lightly.
Zhao He and Chen Sheng, who were sharpening their knives, invariably stopped what they were doing and looked at him with "shocking essence": It is also a talent to be able to say meaty words with an expressionless face!
Su Miao was also stunned by the sweet words that suddenly sounded, glanced at the aftertaste, laughed, bumped his shoulder, and said with a smile:
"You want to reconcile with me so soon?"
The aftertaste is avoided. He brushed his shoulder and looked at the tall stack of tofu boxes in the corner: "You better think about how to make so much tofu first." ”
Su Miao followed what he said and walked to the tall tofu box, although the tofu in the box was a little damaged. But the damage is not particularly serious, but with so much tofu, this game is not only a technical job, but also a physical work.
The time limit is before the sun sets.
She poked the tender tofu with her fingers. Sighing softly, "I don't like tofu at all." ”
"I think you like it." Aftertaste stared at her hand as he kneaded his hand. Say.
Su Miao was slightly stunned, and glanced down at her movements, and his words made her eyes twitch fiercely. There was a very fierce gaze projected, with a strong annoyance, from Zhu Xishi.
Su Miao was speechless, and said confusedly: "Did I do anything bad?" ”
"Chef, let's get started." Chen Shengxian couldn't bear the current unhurried situation and reminded him loudly.
Su Miao looked at the two assistants opposite Tong Ran, who had already moved down many tofu boxes. All poured on the large board, and the large kitchen knife opened left and right. One chops the tofu and the other chops the minced meat, and the remaining assistant whips and mixes the stuffing in a hurry.
Tong Ran stood alone in front of the board, no longer holding a folding fan, the meatballs squeezed out by a pair of slender and white hands like jade carvings were round and jade, smooth and soft, and the charming expression of gentle attitude made people want to turn into meatballs in his hands, looking forward to being kneaded by him.
There were already many girls under the stage who began to salivate at him, and Tong Ran's popularity exploded instantly because of his face and unpredictable warm temperament.
Su Miao sighed speechlessly, turned her head to look at the tofu box that was taller than a person, thought for a while, and ordered Chen Sheng and Zhao He to move the box down.
Let the aftertaste take the pork belly and chop the meat filling, and instruct: "The chop looks better!" ”
"How do you chop the minced meat so beautiful?"
"I'm here to make your chop look better."
Aftertaste glanced at her, sighed helplessly, and with a twist of the knife in his hand, he began to chop the meat filling and attract the attention of more girls.
Su Miao took out the tofu cubes, rinsed them with water, and cut them into pieces about five centimeters long with a knife.
Chen Sheng concentrated on cooking a pot of broth, and Zhao He put the chopped pork and fish meat into a basin and stirred it with chives, coriander, egg whites, and spices to form a meat filling.
Su Miao picked up a square tofu block, used chopsticks to pinch the meat filling directly into the tofu, and then gently sent it in, and the smooth and oily meat filling was embedded into the tofu block.
Real stuffed tofu is stuffed into the tofu with a single chopstick and just the right amount of force. Because tofu is fragile, special attention needs to be paid to the gestures and forces used to grasp the tofu during this process, which requires very skillful skills to ensure that the tofu does not break and that the meat filling is accurately embedded in the tofu without falling out.
Chen Sheng started to cook the broth, and looked at Su Miao's skillful and exquisite craftsmanship with shocked eyes, a piece of tofu and chopsticks with meat filling, no more, no less, not deep or shallow, fast and precise, in one go, in the blink of an eye, a long row of stuffed tofu had been neatly arranged on the long table.
Chen Sheng covered the soup pot, let the soup pot cook slowly on its own, walked to Su Miao's side, and was about to speak, Su Miao commanded:
"Cover the tofu with a clean cotton cloth and change the damp cloth every two quarters of an hour, and then the dry cloth after two quarters of an hour."
Chen Sheng was stunned, answered a "yes", took a clean cotton cloth, covered the stuffed tofu one by one, and peeked at Su Miao's fluent craftsmanship while covering, until all the tofu was covered, he walked back to Su Miao's side again, and Su Miao asked him to cut the tofu into small pieces.
Chen Sheng actually wanted to follow her example and help her make tofu, but because Su Miao told him to cut tofu. I had to answer.
Nicknamed "Knife Chef", his knife skills are impeccable, and even the tofu that has cracks and broken can be cut into pieces of the same size and thickness. To prevent air drying, the cut tofu cubes are all covered with a damp cloth.
It took him two hours to cut all the tofu, and the group of meatballs that had been kneaded into the size of pigeon's egg with minced tofu and minced meat were wrapped in a layer of glutinous rice soaked for an hour and drained in water, and the kneaded glutinous rice and tofu balls were put into a small steamer covered with lotus leaves.
Although the craftsmanship on his side is much simpler than that on Su Miao's side, he can't stand the number of productions that are too much, and Tong Ran is used to being a young master. Cooking is purely a hobby, and he is a little overwhelmed by standing and kneading the balls for several hours in a row, even if he is patient. The smile on his face disappeared, and although it disappeared, he received more attention than before because he looked more heroic and cold than when he smiled.
"Why do they keep changing clothes?" Assistant Tong Ning watched as the opponent changed the cloth every once in a while. I finally couldn't hold it anymore. Puzzled, he asked softly.
"The damp cloth is to ensure that the tofu does not lose moisture, and the dry cloth is to absorb the excess water that was absorbed in it before before drying." Tong Ran glanced at Su Miao's face, and said lightly, it has been two hours, this woman's physical strength and patience are even stronger than him, he feels a little hot in his heart, she has been repeating the same action for two hours, her stuffed tofu is many times more boring and difficult than his pinched balls. It's not easy for her to maintain a stable level. Even he admired her a little.
Although he admits that her craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, but she chooses to make stuffed tofu regardless of the occasion, and he glances at the faces of the judges in the audience, won't choosing this kind of theme kill you?
Thinking of this, he smiled, the smile was facing Zhu Xishi in the audience, and Zhu Xishi's soul was hooked, a pretty face was flushed, and he looked at Tong Ran with both hands on his cheeks, with a rippling face.
Su Xian sat diagonally opposite, looked at Zhu Xishi's rippling expression, and snorted disdainfully:
"That woman is a nymphomaniac, right?"
Su Chan looked at her with a pine nut candy in her mouth and kept looking at her.
"Why are you looking at me?" Su Xian asked with a slanted gaze at her.
"No, you're just thinking about whether you're qualified to talk about others?" Su Chan said coolly.
Su Xian was not annoyed, and snorted arrogantly:
"Don't compare me with a woman of that level, at least I don't look down on Tong Ran's kind of bamboo pole man who is different from the outside, I still like ......" She smiled softly, turned her eyes to Liang Chang who was sitting on the judges' seat, and when she saw him looking over, she blinked charmingly, and sent over a green autumn wave.
Liang Chang was full of excitement, and he turned his head uncomfortably.
"You don't want to do this, okay?" Su Chan frowned disapprovingly, "No matter how His Royal Highness King Wen looks at it, he is a serious man, and he is still a prince, if you want to play, you can find a similar one, and if you provoke him, you may cause trouble." ”
"I want a serious man, who said I'm playing? I'm serious. ”
"How serious are you, do you want to talk about marriage with the prince?" Su Chan sneered and looked at her with the eyes of a fool.
"Who said that you have to talk about marriage to be serious? How could someone like him talk to me about marriage? I just want to have a little with him, so that when I die, I will feel that my life has not been in vain, and I can write on the tombstone 'The old lady once slept with the prince', maybe it can become a legendary story, and be worshiped by the little lovers of later generations. ”
"Poof!" Lin Yan, who was sitting next to her and was drinking sour plum soup, squirted out a mouthful of soup, all of which sprayed on Su Yan's head in the front row.
"Ah, Sister Lin, what are you doing!" Su Yan jumped up, he had a habit of cleanliness, and he was angry and panicked when he was sprayed with sour plum soup, holding his head and trotting to freshen up.
"It's dirty!" Su Xian glanced at Lin Yan and said with disgust, "Just because you are always so stupid, your husband doesn't want you!" ”
"I'm sorry......" Lin Yan blushed and apologized while coughing.
Su Xian continued to eat melon seeds, glanced at her, and said: "The things in this world depend on what you think, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, you have more capital to show off than me, after all, you really slept with the prince of the world, and it is still justifiable, reasonable and legitimate." ”
"......" Lin Yan coughed even more.
"Eldest sister, don't encourage Lin Yan in that strange way, Lin Yan can't stand it." Su Chan chewed the pine nut candy and said coldly.
Su Xian flattened her mouth, glanced at these girls in her own house one by one, and said annoyedly: "Really, one or two are so useless, it seems that Miao'er is the most suitable temper for me!" ”
"What's wrong with me?" Su Chan said unhappily.
"That's it, big sister, what's wrong with me!" Chun Niang retorted unhappily.
"You two are the most annoying, you will become dry if you stay any longer, and you don't hurry up to find a man to marry when you are old, really, let me worry every day!"
"I didn't ask you to worry about it." Su Chan said nonchalantly.
"That's it!" Chun Niang echoed.
Su Xian glared alone.
On the stage, Aftertaste had already chopped all the meat filling, walked to Su Miao's side, silently picked up a piece of white and tender tofu, sandwiched the meat filling with chopsticks, and used the same technique as her to squeeze the meat filling into the center of the tofu block with chopsticks.
Su Miaoluo looked up in surprise, glanced at his skillful technique that was not lost to her at all, and smiled.
As far as the basics are concerned, the aftertaste is completely fine.
Chen Sheng saw it in his eyes, his heart was itching, and after all the wet cloths were changed, he walked to Su Miao's side and said with a smile:
"Chef, I'll come too, the three of you can hurry."
"Are you okay?" Su Miao asked.
"I've seen it, and there should be no problem."
Su Miao nodded.
Chen Sheng immediately walked to Su Miao's side, picked up a piece of tofu like her, held wooden chopsticks in his hand, and picked up a little meat filling to fill the center area of the tofu block.
Zhao He saw it and shook his head lightly.
What craft is the same, watching others do it is simple, but it is difficult to do it yourself, others are simple just because others have practiced skills, as the saying goes, it is easy to look at and difficult to do.
Chen Sheng is not new to the industry, and he understands this very well, and his mistakes are mistakes because he is too confident in his own experience and experience. Since he came to participate in the King Chef Competition, after seeing various types of masters, his mood has become more and more unsettled. He is different from Zhao He, Zhao He has reached an age and has a broader view of many things than young people, but Chen Sheng is at an age where he already has some small achievements and is waiting to fly to the sky. Su Miao promoted him from the third-class knife case to the position of the head of the knife case, so that he began to feel proud of his ability while he was happy to meet Bole, but after coming to Suzhou, the blows of capable people from all sides made him begin to doubt whether his ability was really as outstanding as he thought, so he became more and more anxious and began to rush to show his ability.
Under his "perseverance" operation, half a box of tofu was broken. (To be continued.) )
PS: I wish you all a happy New Year's Day!!
