Volume 1 What about me crossing you? Chapter 45: This Dish Is 'Cold'
"Gu Baijun doesn't have to take it to heart, I am also ready to taste this bowl of 'Wensi Tofu', such a delicious dish, if you miss it, you may regret it. So I hope to make friends with Gu Baijun, and have the opportunity to taste such superb dishes in the future! As he spoke, the young man picked up the 'Wensi Tofu' and prepared to taste it.
Gu Bai saw what the young man was doing, looked at Chuangzhen on the side, and suddenly understood why he couldn't find a heart-to-heart friendship in the original world.
In the original world, on the one hand, I had too few contact with my peers, and on the other hand, I was always competing, and the competition became a habit, so that when I looked at others, I had some defenses in my heart.
Indeed, in real life, many people are like this, they are wary of others in their hearts, although it is said that 'the heart of guarding against others is indispensable', but sometimes such precautions will also make you miss a sincere friendship.
Taking Chuangzhen as an example, Gu Bai had no defenses against him, so the friendship between the two soon became close.
But Gu Bai didn't have such thoughts about this young man. Gu Bai reacted violently to the frivolous words of young people, which caused such consequences.
At this moment, Gu Bai saw that the young man took the initiative to taste 'Wensi Tofu' and made concessions, and sincerely established friendship with himself in his heart. Gu Bai also took off his guard and released his suspicions.
This dish is Gu Bai's work with a sense of revenge. If Gu Bai is not surprised by the 'Wensi Tofu', the emotions that bring diners taste are anger and conquest.
Thinking of the purple flame that burned everything in the kitchen world before, as the cooking was completed, it was all condensed into this 'Wensi Tofu' that looked white and pure on the surface, Gu Bai's face changed color in an instant.
By this time, the young man's lips were almost touching the edge of the bowl. There was no longer any hesitation, Gu Bai rushed up and reached out to take the soup bowl in the young man's hand, "Don't!" ”
Young people originally looked at this 'Wensi Tofu', exquisite, light and fragrant, smooth and moisturizing, and they also had a feeling in their minds before they ate it - the silky tender and smooth clear soup has a clear entrance, and the shredded tofu swims in your mouth, and it melts in your mouth with a gentle sip of your tongue, which makes people get triple enjoyment from the visual taste sensation. Superb and delicious, it's a work of art.
It's just that when young people want to enter, they are inevitably a little hesitant. After all, this cooking is essentially a demonstration to young people, and once they eat it, it is equivalent to young people admitting their defeat. Although he has apologized and relieved his depression, in front of so many people, he still has some bitterness in his heart to make up for it with practical actions.
It was this hesitation that gave Gu Bai the opportunity to reach out and grab the bowl, and the young man finally didn't have to feel uncomfortable.
Gu Bai felt that his action was a bit reckless, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained to the young man, "This dish has been sitting for a long time, it's cold!" It loses the flavor and mouthfeel that 'Wensi Tofu' should have. The essence of this famous Chinese dish is also folded in half. So if I have the chance, I'd like to cook it for you later. ”
Gu Bai deliberately accentuated the words 'cold' and 'should have' to convey to the young people that this dish did not respect the diners.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, stood up and bowed to Gu Bai sincerely, "Gu Baijun, thank you, I understand your hard work." My current forging skills are not enough to create a truly top-notch Chinese blade knife. If I can, I hope Gu Baijun can give me some time to delve into it. I am confident that I will create a unique and unique knife! Give it to Gu Baijun, you are a real chef and deserve the best kitchen knife. ”
Gu Bai nodded, thanked him and said, "I believe in you." You have the true courage and sincerity of a swordsmith. ”
The young man straightened up, "If Gu Baijun thinks that the kitchen knife used for cooking today is handy, he can take it away first, and use it as a substitute for the time being, which can also be regarded as a gift between friends." And the young man next to him, if I'm not mistaken, it's called Chuangzhen. Santoku knives are also available. Today's events have touched me a lot, and I want to retreat for a while and study hard. ”
"This... What do you think? Gu Bai turned his head and asked.
"Of course I'm fine," Kohei Soma nodded.
"Thank you so much, I don't know your name yet?" Gu Bai asked.
"In Shimohigashino Takeichi, Gu Baijun, is the etiquette of Chinese friendship a handshake?" The young man said and held out his hand.
"Yes, I'm Gu Bai, a native of Huaxia." Gu Bai said, and the two shook hands.
In the next half hour, the young man took Gu Bai and Xingping Chuangzhen to choose two sharp kitchen knives, and made a detailed record of their hands and knife habits.
After that, Gu Bai and the old man Xingping Chuangzhen said goodbye and returned to Xingping Restaurant.
"Chuangzhen, why do you want a Chinese-style knife at the end?" On the way, Gu Bai asked strangely, thinking that Chuangzhen had already selected the Sande knife, but when he saw the young man handing Gu Bai the knife, he suddenly changed his mind and asked for a knife.
"Well, because you gave me a gift, I think this kitchen knife is used to commemorate our friendship. And I'm going to learn Chinese cuisine from you in the future, so I think it's more professional to pick a knife like you. Kohei Soma said.
Hearing Xingping Chuangzhen's words, Gu Bai nodded in admiration, he didn't expect Chuangzhen to think so deeply, "Then let me briefly introduce the slice knife, the slice knife is the main knife when cooking Chinese food, mainly used for cutting vegetables." A large number of fruits and vegetables are used in Chinese cuisine, and in order to quickly cut them into thin slices and filaments, a special knife is required, so the unique Chinese slicing knife is produced. ”
"Hmm... The Chinese slice knife is much larger than the Santoku knife, and it is quite heavy to pick up" Kohei Soma weighed the weight of the box, this kitchen knife looks very large, and it is not the same type as the Santoku knife used before.
But Kohei Chuangzhen recalled that in the kitchen today, the kitchen knife in Gu Bai's hands was like a soul dance performed by a blade dancer, and the knife work was as touching as a dragon between square inches of tofu.
"The Chinese slice knife has a large area and has an appropriate weight, and the gravitational acceleration when the knife is dropped, which can greatly improve the precise chopping ability. This is how the master can complete all the cuts and auctions. Gu Bai explained simply.
"In this way, the knife marks on the board are also deep when you cut the knife." Kohei Soma looked at the video carefully.
"Look at the road, don't look at your phone, it's almost there." Gu Bai patted his forehead, thinking in his heart how to delete the video from Chuangzhen's mobile phone.
