Chapter 63: The Mysterious Material
A spoonful of bean curd is sent to the mouth, everyone's first feeling is tender, tender can hardly withstand chewing, with a gentle tongue will slide into the teeth, mixed with the fragrant and rich clear soup with indescribable lusciousness to fill the mouth, so that the heart wells up with a warm taste.
A mouthful of bean curd swallowed unconsciously, and everyone scooped up another spoonful in unison.
The noodle shop fell into a strange silence again, everyone was seriously tasting Fang Yu's "high-end bean curd", and no one had time to talk.
After eating a few spoonfuls in a row, Ou Yang, who had been trying to find the source of the deliciousness, suddenly exclaimed, "No, this is not bean curd." β
The guests who were feasting were taken aback, and they all looked at the bean curd in the bowl carefully, there was nothing wrong with the white and tender.
Everyone looked at Ouyang in confusion, although this bean curd is tender and fragrant beyond everyone's imagination, but judging from the appearance and taste, it should be bean curd.
Ou Yang raised his head and stared at Fang Yu: "This is definitely not bean curd, it doesn't have a beany smell!" β
A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yu's mouth, "For a first-class chef, it is not difficult to neutralize the beany smell." β
Ouyang: "Yes, many chefs can neutralize or even remove most of the beany smell, but it is impossible for me to taste it. What's more, your bean curd looks like it is brine, but it doesn't taste like brine at all. β
"That makes sense, but if it's not bean curd, then what the hell is it?" Fang Yu asked rhetorically.
"This maybeβ" Ou Yang had a puzzled expression on his face, "... Eggs, right? After speaking, he looked at Lin Maozhou with some unconfidence.
Everyone also followed his gaze to Lin Maozhou, this top chef should always be able to tell what this dish is made of.
Lin Maozhou was still expressionless and unhurried tasting the "bean curd" in the bowl, as if he couldn't feel everyone's gaze at all.
The lotus leaf bowl was not big, and Lin Maozhou scooped every spoonful very full, so although he didn't eat it quickly, a bowl of "bean curd" was quickly eaten.
He gently put down the spoon, turned his head and glanced around, his eyes swept over Su Agarwood with a smile, Guo Hui with admiration, Liu Zhenqiang with relief, Wang Jinrong with surprise, Ouyang with doubts, and Du Changfeng with a shocked and panicked face.
His gaze finally returned to Zhao Lei, who was a little lost and depressed, and sighed: "Don't think too much about it." β
Zhao Lei lowered his head, held the bowl with both hands, and said weakly: "I thought that under your supervision, I would be able to surpass Uncle Fang in two weeks of special training, but I didn't expect that the gap with him would be even greater." β
Lin Maozhou shook his head helplessly: "It's not your problem, even your master doesn't have this understanding and skill at his age." And for chefs, it's not necessarily a good thing to win, the road is always there, you don't have to go faster than anyone, as long as you keep going, you will always meet at the finish line. β
After enlightening Zhao Lei, Lin Maozhou stood up and faced Fang Yu, "Senior Brother Fang, to be honest, I won't be as surprised as I am now by what kind of soup and dish you make today." That day, I thought you could guess how I made the 'clear soup and liver paste' just by listening to the recipe. I didn't expect you to not only grasp the essence perfectly, but also to innovate and come up with such a wonderful dish, which really convinced me. β
Fang Yu smiled at Lin Maozhou and nodded, "Senior brother, you have won the award, I know that I can hide it from anyone, but you and I can't hide it." In fact, this dish is also thanks to you. If I hadn't tasted that wonderful 'consommΓ© liver paste' one day, I wouldn't have had a chance to make this dish. β
"It turned out to be a clear soup liver paste, and I probably know what it's made of. Liu Zhenqiang also stood up, and Fang Yu gave a thumbs up, "Brother Fang, your dish is really amazing, it's really surprising that the ingredients that everyone has seen can have such a change in your hands." β
Listening to Lin Maozhou and Liu Zhenqiang's words, Ou Yang also showed an expression of sudden realization, "It turns out that this is the case, I also understand, Gao Ming, indeed Gao Ming." β
Lin Maozhou works in the capital most of the year, so Ouyang naturally didn't have the opportunity to taste Lin Maozhou's "clear soup liver paste". But as a well-known head of the food media, I still have a good understanding of the peculiarities of this famous dish of Huangmen. So he became the third person to discover the secret.
The dumb riddle between these people made the guests present confused and itchy, Guo Hui was the first to can't help it, and asked the question they wanted to ask the most on behalf of all the unaware public:
"Lao Liu, Xiao Ou, tell me, what kind of special ingredients is this dish made of?"
Liu Zhenqiang shook his head at him: "This is not a special ingredient, the cost of this dish is a bit high, and the main ingredient is actually not rare." β
Ou Yang said: "Yes, although I guess this main ingredient must have been carefully selected by Boss Fang, but the real value of this dish is still in its cooking method." β
Guo Hui said helplessly: "Lao Liu, Xiao Ou, don't play mysterious." Please, to tell me what kind of special material this is made of? β
Ou Yang smiled and replied loudly: "It's chicken, if I guessed correctly, it should be chicken breast." β
Most of the guests were in disbelief when they heard this, and they started talking about it.
"Chicken breast? It's impossible, this dish has nothing to do with chicken breasts in terms of taste and appearance. β
"That's right, you see that the clear soup as an ingredient is so delicious and delicious, it must have been made with a lot of high-end ingredients, how can the main ingredient be such an ordinary chicken breast."
"I don't think so, in terms of texture, I think it's more like an egg than a chicken breast."
"Not necessarily, maybe it's chopped chicken breasts and boiled."
"It's even more impossible, that thing is chopped up and boiled in water, how can it be so tender and delicious."
"Look at what you said, it's like you've done it."
"I've really done it, when I was losing weight, I ate boiled chicken breast for three months, and I tried all kinds of cooking methods."
"Have you ever lost weight? I don't see it yet. Since you are so experienced, let's talk about how to make chicken breast so delicious. β
"Hell, if chicken breast could really be this delicious, would I still be the size I am now?"
"It's not chicken breast, what is it, just now the editor-in-chief Ou said that it was chicken breast, he is a big name in our Shudu food industry, and many cooking duels have asked him to be a referee."
"You ask me what I'm doing, how do I know that Boss Fang is the chef of this dish, you should ask him."
Everyone focused on Dao Fangyu, waiting for him to announce the final answer.
Fang Yu was silent for a few seconds, and everyone was a little disappointed, because the chef had the right not to answer questions about the recipe and ingredients in order to protect the secret recipe of his dish.
Just when everyone thought that Fang Yu would not speak, Fang Yu suddenly showed a bright smile and nodded without hesitation: "Editor-in-chief Ou is right, the main ingredient of this dish is chicken breast." β
