Before the dish was served, Wei Qi sat in the west seat facing the east, and said to everyone in the hall with a smile: "This first dish is naturally an open soup, which is made by Wei Shengzhi, who was the first in my Wei's cooking competition last year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A guest in the hall asked, "Dare to ask the master of the Wei family, is there anything special about this soup, and what is the name of this soup?" ”

"Tang Ming? Hehe, let me sell it, this time the opening of the soup ......" Wei Qi paused for a moment, and then said: "It is said to be soup, but it is not soup, it is not soup, but it is also soup." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall began to discuss.

"It's not soup anymore, it's weird, it's weird!"

"It seems that this year's young talents of Webster's Kitchen"

A wealthy merchant in a satin robe with a big belly in the hall got up and said: "Listening to what the head of the Wei family said, this first dish is quite innovative, and I really don't know what kind of soup it is, can you give more hints?" ”

Wei Qi replied with a smile: "This soup can be sweet or salty. ”

The rich merchant was quite surprised and said: "This can be sweet and salty, so can this soup be made into two flavors?" ”

Wei Qi smiled and nodded: "Exactly, but salty and sweet have their own merits, so I invite you to taste it today." ”

Cai Yong, who was sitting first on Wei Qi's left hand, spoke: "In this way, this old man Tang is a little clearer. ”

Wei Qi arched his hand slightly and said: "Naturally, you can't hide it from Uncle Cai, but it's ugly." ”

Cao Cao also interjected at this time: "Hahaha, interesting, it seems that the first question of this year's Wei's kitchen competition should be Tang Fei Tang?" Brother Bo Cha,, did you guess wrong? ”

"Mengde, you, guess you have to say it."

Wei Qi smiled and nodded a few times at Cao Cao's virtual point.

"Haha, Meng De's mouth is fast for a while, his mouth is fast, haha." Cao Cao, who was sitting on the right hand, laughed, completely ignoring Cai Yong's expression when he was interrupted by himself when he spoke just now.

"Soup!"

As soon as Wei Qi's voice fell, a group of maids came out of the back of the hall, each holding a small plate in his hand, and two small bowls on the plate.

"Bean curd?"

"Tofu brain?"

Several people in the hall came up with different names.

"This is tofu brain, which is made by Wei Shengzhi, the younger generation of my Wei's kitchen, one bowl is sweet tofu brain, and the other is salty tofu brain."

The guest who shouted Douhua just now looked very surprised, got up and asked, "Brother Wei, isn't this Douhua?" How can you make open soup? ”

Wei Qi smiled and waved his hand: "Oh, this is not bean curd, but tofu brain." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be ...... Tofu brain. ”

The guest still looked puzzled, but didn't want to show his ignorance, and after sitting down, he whispered to the people next to him, "Huh? Aren't these bean curd and tofu brains the names of this thing? What's the difference? ”

The person sitting next to him scolded in his heart, I have been in business all the year round and I don't often practice cooking, you ask me how much tofu is a dollar, I can answer you, you ask me how many dishes I know.

The other person thought for a while, then shook his head and whispered, "This, I don't know too much." ”

Because most of the guests invited by Wei's are businessmen, although many people here have practiced cooking, most of them only stay at the stage of cooking, they are half-aware of things in cooking, or hearsay, and few are people who have achieved success in cooking.

Wei Qi continued: "Although the tofu brain seems to be formed, it will break at the touch of a button, and the spoon will be scattered into countless pieces and integrated into the soup when it is gently stirred, so it can naturally be eaten as a soup. ”

"If the tofu brain is made by the chef according to the recipe of the cooking method with the spirit of food, ordinary soldiers can use it as a treasure to defend the city, when thrown down from the high wall, not only is it extremely hot, but when it hits the enemy, it can scatter in all directions, injuring more enemy troops, which is better than the stone."

At this time, Wei Qi, who was sitting on the main seat and speaking, also saw the small movements of the people in the hall whispering to each other, and his heart was slightly displeased: If it weren't for the fact that you have business dealings with my Wei clan every year, and my Wei clan has been in decline in the court for many years and has to engage in business, how could you let a group of people who don't know etiquette sit in the court.

What Wei Qi was thinking at this time, everyone in the hall didn't know, but the conversation between several people in the hall entered the ears of another person, but this person was not in this hall.

"The people invited by the Wei family are all blind, and this kind of person can also be invited to judge?"

"Master, I don't need to look at it, I understand it as soon as I hear it, the bean curd is old, and the tofu brain is tender, don't you know it by looking at it? It's ridiculous that these guys are still asking around. ”

The person who spoke was Wei Fan, and he was lying on the ground with a potato in his hand, using his 'local listening method'.

Although he can't go to the front hall, can't sit in the high hall, and is not qualified to participate in this competition, but it's okay to take a potato to listen to it, so he can listen to the radio broadcast.

But this time, Wei Fan didn't lie in the 'old place' anymore, although the 'old place' was close to the back kitchen and convenient for stealing teachers, but it was too far away from the front hall, and the smell was too big, and I couldn't stand it for a long time.

Although Wei Qi, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't hear what the hall was saying, an official who was close to the front row did.

I don't know if he is deliberately showing off his knowledge, or if he wants to show his face in front of Cai Yong, he said loudly at the moment: "Although bean curd and tofu brain are both made of soybeans, and the grinding methods are similar, they are not different in texture and taste, and the effects of the gourmet dishes made are also different. ”

When Wei Qi heard this, he swept away the displeasure in his heart just now, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Lord County Lieutenant, do you have a lot of study about this Dao?" ”

The official hurriedly got up and saluted to the place where Cai Yong was sitting: "Don't dare, don't dare, with Lord Cai here, how dare the lower officials talk about studying." ”

Cai Yong stroked his beard and said: "Well, it doesn't matter, the Tao has a sequence, the skill is good, and the old man is just practicing cooking for a few more years than everyone here." ”

"Then the next official will be ugly."

After the county lieutenant saluted Cai Yong, he said loudly: "Although the bean curd and tofu brain are both ground into juice from soybeans, there are slight differences in the coagulation and molding method of this bean juice, and I only know a few of the coagulation and forming methods of this bean juice." ”

A wealthy businessman sitting next to the county lieutenant was very embarrassed, and hurriedly accosted him and asked, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"Please also ask the county lieutenant to solve your doubts."

"Lord County Lieutenant, don't hide your secrets, I'll study hard."

The rest of the wealthy businessmen were not far behind, and they spoke out one after another, and Wei Fan, who was eavesdropping outside, was speechless for a while, thinking, I can also tell you this kind of problem.

The county lieutenant waved his hand lightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Let's talk about this bean curd first." ”

"To make bean curd, you must first filter out the bean dregs in the bean juice, boil and let it cool, if you use the cooking fire when cooking, you can make soy milk."

"After the soybean milk is cooled, add gypsum, stir quickly, there is flocculent generation, you can press it into a whole piece, remove the excess juice, wait for the tea, the bean juice will be completely condensed and layered, and the lower white layer will become a bean flower."

Immediately, there was a surprise: "Add plaster? Isn't this a stone? Can this thing be eaten? ”

The county lieutenant seemed to be asked this question, and was speechless for a while.

"Haha, of course you can, this itself is a medicine, when Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang wrote "Don't Record", as long as it is gypsum with high purity, add a little to the bean juice to make tofu." Cao Cao, who was sitting in the hall, seemed to see the embarrassment of the county lieutenant, and explained with a laugh.

Cao Cao hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "County Lieutenant,, speak fast for a while, you continue, continue." ”

"Who is this person, why do you like to curse so much?"

Wei Fan, who eavesdropped on the conversation in the hall, was very puzzled in his heart, why did he always hear a person swearing.

At first, Wei Fan thought he had heard it wrong, but after listening to it a few times, he was sure that there was a person who had been saying "" to others, and this time he actually scolded the county lieutenant? The county lieutenant probably will punish him, right?

However, what Wei Fan didn't expect was that it was too late for the county lieutenant to thank Cao Cao for relieving him from the siege, and his official position was not as big as Cao Cao's, how could he punish the crime?

The county lieutenant bowed his hand to Cao Cao and complimented: "Where, Lord Cao is well-informed, I might as well be too." ”

Cao Cao bowed his hand and saluted back: "Where, where, the county lieutenant is polite." ”

Hey? Odd!

Wei Fan was stunned when he heard it, this person kept swearing and swearing, and scolded the county lieutenant, and finally the county lieutenant had to thank him??

This...... What's the origin of this man?
