Chapter 288: Full of Spiritual Power
When the rest of his life walked out of the Star Picking Building, the competition officially began.
led the two to the stove prepared in advance, and the little maid was just about to bring the prepared ingredients, but Mapo stopped.
"We are prepared ourselves. She told the old man to bring something carefully.
The cloth on top is opened, and a whole plate of yellowish tofu is arranged tightly but not loosely, with a faint enticing bean aroma.
There are always people selling "fish tofu" along the street in Yangzhou City these days, and everyone is no stranger to tofu, but it is the first time to see such exquisite tofu.
Gui Yidao and Shopkeeper Liu glanced at each other, and also opened the cloth on the tofu they prepared, which was actually comparable to the tofu for the rest of their lives.
This tofu is carefully ground by Xunwei Zhai with the best soybeans purchased from the Daqin people's grain team.
Before the competition, everyone couldn't help but be interested.
Standing in front of a cutting board made of wooden stakes, Mapo and Guiyidao glanced at each other before cutting tofu with a knife.
Gui Yidao still had time to look at Mapo, and felt that her knife skills were much better than her master.
Mapo used boiling water to remove the bean from the pot here, and Guiyi showed such an expression over there, he studied it himself.
Next, chop the minced beef, stir-fry over medium heat until golden brown, and continue to fry the bean cress, tempeh and spicy noodles to taste.
For a while, the whole star-picking building was filled with an attractive aroma, and many people stood up and looked at the stove, waiting for the dishes to come out of the pot.
The process of the two is similar, but the speed is different, the fast is mapo, and the slow is the unified knife.
Zhou Dafu thought about it for a while and understood that Mapo only made this dish all day long, but it was not, and he was more cautious because of the competition.
Huang Xiaochu was also in the Star Picking Building, and as soon as he saw the ratio between the mapo seasonings, he knew that he had taught it from the rest of his life.
The tofu was put into the broth, and soon it was time to collect the juice, and the two began to thicken it, and the mapo was divided into four ways, and then the pot was raised.
Soon, the two plates of tofu were labeled and shuffled and placed in front of the VIPs.
Look at the shape first, the two plates of mapo tofu are almost inseparable, bright red and attractive, the only difference is that there is a plate of the same size, and the tofu is not ** at all.
Zhou Dafu was measuring next to him, and when he saw that the two plates of mapo tofu were not steaming, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Yesterday, the rest of my life said that Guiyidao had shortcomings in this regard, and now it has actually made up for it?
In fact, it's a knife to be lazy, there are many guests in Xinglou every day, and he has to order a mapo tofu, he is too lazy to make it so exquisite.
Aunt Wang tasted it first, she picked up a piece of tofu, chewed it carefully, rinsed her mouth and tasted another one.
She tasted it very carefully, waited for a while after she fell into her stomach, and then pointed to the second one and said, "I choose this one." ”
This dish of hemp is different, its peppercorn noodles and tofu complement each other, while the other dish is a little worse.
The two gods came up and were just about to taste it, and Zhou Dafu spoke at this time: "Shopkeeper Yu said that mapo tofu dishes are very special, and it is best for everyone to taste them carefully after they settle down." ”
The two gods were disdainful, and after tasting each other, they pointed straight to another plate, which was just the opposite of Aunt Wang's.
It's not that the two of them have a bad conscience, it's just that the two of them don't care much about their appetite on weekdays, and they can't make subtle differences, so they are at ease and in tune.
Then three great witches went up to taste it, and two of them followed the gods to point out the plate.
The last Great Wuwu Mountain tasted slowly, and when he was about to give the result, a god suddenly said: "Slow!"
Wushan stopped and looked at the god in puzzlement.
The god looked solemn and puzzled, and he reminded Wushan, "You taste it carefully, and then taste it after you lose your stomach." ”
Wu Shan was puzzled, but he did as he was told, and he tasted the plate that the two gods affirmed again.
As soon as the tofu fell into the stomach and was about to be savored, I suddenly felt a warmth rise in the belly, and then flowed to the limbs and bones to nourish the whole body, making the body suddenly refreshed.
"This, this, this is spiritual power! Wu Shan pointed to the plate of tofu he had just tasted in surprise and said.
Shenshi nodded, there is spiritual power in this ingredient, and it is not a star, and I don't know who made this plate of tofu.
He raised his head and glanced at Mapo and Guiyidao, and when he saw Guiyidao frowning, Mapo was confused.
Wushan chose the plate that the gods affirmed.
Aunt Wang was disdainful, it was obvious that another plate of tofu had spiritual power, and there was no one at this tasting level.
Jinyiwei commanded the envoy to come on the field, and he was curious about the plate of mapo tofu with spiritual power that Wushan tasted, so he tasted it first.
It's just that he didn't see the spiritual power for a long time after he fell into his stomach, he glanced at Wushan inexplicably, tasted another plate, and said after a while: "I choose this way." ”
The commander of the Jinyi guard smiled and said to the gods: "This plate of tofu has pure spiritual power. ”
The two gods were stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Wushan.
Wu Shan's neck shrank back, just now he was negligent, and the unhappiness emitted by the spiritual power of the ingredients was forgotten, and it could also be the spiritual power of another mapo tofu.
Chu You and Zhou Baichuan in the back walked up, and after tasting it, they chose the plate of mapo tofu with spiritual power.
This made Guiyidao and Shopkeeper Liu's faces worse and worse, because they knew that the mapo tofu in Xunwei Zhai had no spiritual power at all.
They thought of the fried greens in the Yusheng Inn, and the greens also had a faint spiritual power in them, but they were inconspicuous, so they didn't pay attention to them.
To the masters present, those spiritual powers were so insignificant that they couldn't even be detected.
But now the commander of the Jinyi Guard feels very comfortable, and he thinks that this mapo tofu is full of spiritual power.
Shopkeeper Liu clenched his fists, he couldn't imagine that the shopkeeper Yu didn't come by himself, but he used this killer move.
After tasting it in a circle of VIPs, the vast majority of people chose the plate of mapo tofu with spiritual power.
When Bu Xiaomei finished tasting the decision, Gui Yidao suddenly said: "This is not fair!"
Everyone looked at him and took a step forward, "The cooking competition is skill, not the ingredients, otherwise you can compare the quality of tofu." ”
As soon as the people present began to discuss, Bu Xiaomei blinked and said, "But in terms of taste, this dish also wins." ”
She tasted it again: "This dish is numb and hot, which makes the tofu taste endless in the mouth, and the tofu itself has a fresh fragrance." ”
Bu Xiaomei pointed to another dish with chopsticks, "This plate is not hot when it is thickened, and there is slightly more moisture, so it can only be mixed with heavy thickening, which covers the taste of the tofu itself." ”
Zhou Jiuzhang came up and took the chopsticks in Bu Xiaomei's hand, tasted one bite of each of the two dishes, and quite agreed with what Bu Xiaomei said.
"Mapo tofu pays attention to 'spicy, fresh, fragrant, tender and hot', although it is not as good as what Yu shopkeeper does, but it has spiritual power. ”
"Compared with the other one, it is indeed much inferior in the hemp iron. Zhou Jiuzhang said.
Shopkeeper Liu took out a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile: "I'll taste it." ”
He tasted it very slowly, tasted it very carefully, and after a long time, Shopkeeper Liu picked up the plate and looked at the bottom of the plate, then looked at it and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Gui Yidao didn't say anything, and walked up to get chopsticks to taste.
After a long time, he said coldly, "I lost." ”
Zhou Jiuzhang picked up the plate, revealing the label attached to the bottom of the plate, which read "Mapo".
The lobby was in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Many of the guests who came were cooks, and they still remember the arrogance of Guiyidao when he first came to Yangzhou City.
At that time, Guiyidao challenged the top ten famous chefs in Yangzhou, and he never failed, but he didn't expect to lose today, and he was defeated in the hands of the rest of his apprentices.
For a while, everyone wanted to see the cooking skills for the rest of their lives.
