Chapter 9 Tofu carving

The dishes were freshly made, but a lot of preparations had already been made in advance, and there were a lot of time-consuming dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets, and this little time alone in the evening was not enough, so Shen Long quickly began to prepare the first main course.

"The first main course, red plum beads, this dish is the practice of Hunan cuisine, the pigeon eggs are boiled and yellowed, filled with lean ham, sea rice, mushrooms, dried scallops, etc.; Then remove the shell and fry the prawns into beads and put them on a plate. Shen Long introduced while doing it, the Manchu and Han banquets included the essence of many cuisines, and the classic dishes of the eight major cuisines were available.

"The pigeon eggs are so big, and they have to be yellow to fill them? That's a lot of difficulty! The diners' eyes widened, intending to see how Shen Long operated.

I saw Shen Long holding the pigeon egg between his ten fingers and rubbing it slightly, and the eggshell was all peeled off, and then a few knife flowers flashed out of the knife in his right hand, and a few pigeon egg yolks the size of corn kernels appeared on the board, and these diners were stunned and didn't see how Shen Long did it.

"Hey, this hand is amazing! Luckily, I didn't go shopping with my girlfriend today, or I would have missed it. "For some diners, food is more important than girlfriends.

Soon, this plate of red plum beads was ready to be sent to the private room, the middle of the plate was stacked with fried golden shrimp balls, and there was a circle of white pigeon eggs on the side, the shrimp balls were as red as plums, and the pigeon eggs were as white as pearls, and the name of red plum beads probably came from this.

Some attentive diners counted the pigeon eggs and shrimp balls, and there were no more, no less, just ten, and each person could get one; At this time, everyone couldn't care about being reserved, and they started to pick up shrimp balls and pigeon eggs and put them in their mouths to taste.

"The shrimp balls are fragrant, the pigeon eggs are rich in flavor, not only the taste of sea rice and ham, but also the taste seems to have been cooked in old hen stew, and now few chefs are willing to work so hard." Some diners closed their eyes comfortably, and then became depressed again, "It's just that this amount is too small, and I don't want to eat a second bite." ”

"The authentic red plum beads should be twenty-four pigeon eggs and twenty-four shrimp balls, but there are a lot of dishes prepared today, so everyone can try it, and there are many delicious ones in the future." Shen Long explained.

"The second main course, the Kung Pao hare, is cooked with a European hare that can run at speeds of up to 72 kilometers per hour, and the lean meat accounts for more than 95%, so you don't have to worry about high cholesterol." I'm afraid this dish is better than the original Manchu and Han full banquet, after all, I am afraid that during the Qianlong period, I am afraid that there will be no way to eat European hares.

"The third main course, anchovy shark fin, is simmered twice with the old hen, minced ham and pork for five hours each time; Then apply chicken fat to a spoon and steam the quail eggs into the basket; Place the shark fin on a plate and make a phoenix tail suit, and use the steamed quail egg as the anchovy eye. "This dish has been prepared since the morning.

"Wow, I don't want to eat this dish." As soon as the dish was served, everyone took out their mobile phone cameras and clicked and snapped, and with this plating skill, they could collect at least 120 likes when they were posted to the circle of friends.

Seeing this scene, Shen Long smiled, what he wanted was such an effect, he hadn't worked so hard for so long in vain! People in the circle of friends will definitely ask where to eat when they see it, one pass two two pass three, I believe it won't be long before this store doesn't have to worry about business.

After the circle of friends was posted, the diners looked at the anchovy shark fin in a daze, whether to eat it or not, this is a question, if you eat it, you are afraid that it will destroy this perfect picture, but if you don't eat it, the fragrance will drill into the nose for a while, and you can't help it.

"Eat! I can't stand it anymore! After all, the appetite prevailed, and the phoenix tail disappeared without a trace after listening to the tinkling of plates.

"Let's rest for a while, eat some snacks, bean noodles and milk corners." The Manchu and Han banquets are not like ordinary banquets where all the dishes are piled up on the table and eaten at once, but appetizers, main dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes, dim sum, dried fruits, and candied fruit come in turn, and they are also divided into meals, a small table.

It was too troublesome and wasteful to divide the meal, so Shen Long changed it to a large table, and the process of serving the food was based on the practice of the old Manchu Han full banquet, and then improved according to the situation.

These two kinds of dim sum are also exquisitely made, piled on the plate like a work of art, and have harvested a wave of likes in the circle of friends, almost everyone's mobile phones are tinkling, no need to ask, this must be looking at the circle of friends to ask this is eating in that restaurant.

"Babao wild duck, using wild free-range high-quality wild duck as raw materials, with Taihu farm's fresh ginkgo seeds, red dates, gourd and high-quality shiitake mushrooms, ham, pine nuts, duck gizzards, glutinous rice and other "eight treasures" fillings, stuffed duck belly, steamed for ten minutes. In between them eating snacks and posting on Moments, Shen Long had already started to cook the next dish.

"Lotus pod tofu, make lotus pod from tofu, and make lotus seeds with green beans......"

"Three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, cooked with chicken breast, shrimp and eggs......"

"Mountain delicacies, choose wild bracken from Shouyang Mountain, steam it with cooking wine after sending it with sea rice water......"

"Crispy fried gold cake, big rescue, lotus roll, roasted deer breast ......" dishes were served one after another, and the sound of mobile phones and chopsticks was endless, and the diners were satisfied with their appetite and vanity like never before.

"The next dish, the eight immortals cross the sea! This dish adopts the traditional tofu carving process, using tofu to carve the shape of the Eight Immortals when they cross the sea...... "I feel that I have almost eaten it, and Shen Long has come up with his own unique skills."

Pick up the tofu and put it in the water, hold the carving knife and carve it carefully, carving a lifelike immortal, and when the dish is served, everyone is silent.

"That's too realistic, isn't it?!" The diners stood up one after another, stared at the front of their heads with wide eyes, and looked carefully around the eight immortals carved from tofu, "This is definitely not carved by tofu, you want to say that the jade carving is almost the same, and the tofu can be carved so finely?" ”

However, it is indeed carved from tofu, not only beautiful but also delicious, after taking the photo, I was reluctant to dig a spoonful with a spoon and send it to my mouth, the tofu melts in the mouth, an unprecedented taste makes the taste buds explode instantly, and people can't help but sigh, "I originally thought that this dish was good because of the knife work, but who knew that after eating it, compared with the deliciousness of the tofu, the knife work is nothing." ”

The lotus seed porridge was swept at the end, and then the fruit bowl and Dongting Biluochun were sent for the guests to eat, and the meal was finished.

Shen Long walked into the private room, and before he could speak, he heard several diners shouting at the same time, "Boss, will you have a table here at noon tomorrow?" Book me a table. ”

"Tomorrow at noon and in the evening, I will bring my whole family to eat all day."

"I was just worried about how to receive big customers tomorrow, I don't need to say anything, they will definitely be satisfied when they come here."
