Chapter 38: [Tofu Feast]

Familiar colored fog space, familiar wooden monument.

Li Yi once again returned to the dream space.

Everything around him was no different from what he had left last night.

The only difference, perhaps, is that the colored mist behind the stele has thinned a little.

Looking at the vague stele behind the mist, he was a little curious.

Is that stele the same as this wooden stele, hiding countless magical skills?

After thinking for a moment, he gathered his thoughts.

It was useless to think so much, there was a fog wall blocking him, and he couldn't see clearly, let alone go over to check.

Let's learn everything in front of you first!

Turning the ring, he pricked his finger with ease and touched the wooden tablet.

The next moment, he appeared in a large misty kitchen.

The noisy sound swept through Li Yi's surroundings in an instant.

"Gachai! The soy milk has to be rolled to make the brine melt! ”

"Hurry up! The more you are afraid of getting hot, the slower your movements will be! Peeling the bean skin is to be fast! ”

"These ten plates of tofu are going to be sent to the palace, be careful on the way, if it is broken, I will ask you!"

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar big kitchen, Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Why wasn't he in the dining room?

Without making a sound, he went straight out and came to the eaves outside the door.

There is usually a water tank filled with water outside the kitchen to prevent fires.

Taking a picture of the water tank, he immediately recognized his identity.

"Lao Wang?"

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces on the water, Li Yi was a little surprised.

is familiar because Li Yi knows him, his name is Wang Kui, he is a full-time chef who makes tofu dishes in the imperial dining room, and he is nicknamed the Tofu King.

The strangeness is because in Li Yi's impression, Wang Kui and his master, Song Yushan, the king of fried rice, are of the same age.

When he came in to learn to cook twice before, when he saw Wang Kui, he had to call him Master Wang.

But Wang Kui in front of him was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old elementary school apprentice at this time.

Raising his head, Li Yi looked at the surrounding environment and guessed where he was.

Since he was Wang Kui when he was young, he should be in Huainan Shou County, in the tofu workshop of Wang Kui's family.

Shou County is located in the Huainan region of Hui Province, in the area of Bagong Mountain.

It is a small area, but it is a special ingredient, the birthplace of tofu.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the Huainan region was the seat of Liu An, the king of Huainan.

More than 2,000 years ago, Liu Anya was good at Taoism, wanted to seek the art of immortality, and spared no expense to recruit magicians, among which there were a total of eight people who were more famous, known as the "Eight Princes".

Liu An took the eight of them to climb the North Mountain to build a furnace and refine the elixir in order to live a long life.

They took the clear water of the three springs of "pearl", "big spring" and "horse run" in the mountains to grind soybean juice, and used the bean juice to cultivate danmiao.

But unexpectedly, the alchemy failed, and the bean juice and salt were combined, turning into a white and tender thing.

Liu An asked a local farmer to try it, and it was delicious.

So he named it Tofu, an ingredient known as the "Oriental borneol", and was born.

Li Yi remembers hearing Wang Kui say that his family originally ran a local tofu factory in Shou County.

Because he likes to eat tofu and study dishes made with tofu.

So his family sent him to learn how to cook, who would have thought that he would learn the way.

He soon surpassed his master in cooking, and began to research new dishes.

Later, his fame spread to the capital.

Because Queen Xiaoxianchun prayed for blessings and was vegetarian, the palace issued an order to summon him to the palace to cook a tofu banquet for the queen.

His cooking skills were exquisite, and he won the hearts of the queens.

The title of his tofu king was also given by Queen Xiaoxianchun.

After confirming his identity and time, Li Yi roughly understood.

When he came in this time, he should have learned the craft of making tofu.

In that case, let's learn!

So, in a blink of an eye, twenty-four years have passed.

When Li Yi returned to the Colored Mist Space again, he took a long time to recover his senses.

Wang Kui (March 19, 53rd year of Kangxi to April 4th day of 56th year of Qianlong)

Male, a native of Shou County, Hui Province, 16 cooks, Qianlong was ordered to enter the palace in the 12th year, burned a tofu banquet for Queen Xiaoxianchun, and was given the first number of tofu kings, and died well.

Looking at the newly appeared inscription on the wooden tablet, Li Yi slowly exhaled.

This time I actually stayed in it for more than 20 years...

Recalling the experience in the dream space, Li Yi still has palpitations.

He didn't expect that he would stay in the dream space for so long this time.

In the second year after entering, he learned Master's specialty dishes.

But he didn't get the task and returned to the Colored Mist Space.

After several verifications, he vaguely guessed that he should have learned to make Wang Kui's tofu banquet before he could return to reality.

But he hadn't eaten Wang Kui's tofu banquet either, and many of the dishes were designed by Wang Kui himself, so he couldn't learn anything if he wanted to.

Therefore, he can only use the stupidest way to solve this problem.

That is to use time to learn the production of all tofu dishes, and rely on your own strength to reproduce Wang Kui's tofu feast.

If you want to learn, start from scratch.

Grind tofu, peel the tofu, press the dried tofu, and sauce the tofu...... He started with the basics.

As the saying goes, there are three things in the world: supporting the boat, striking iron, and grinding tofu.

In order to learn to make the best tofu, he slept three shifts every day and got up five shifts, and after a lot of hardships, he finally made the ideal tofu.

Then, he collected all the tofu production methods and learned them one by one, opening his eyes to be tofu every day, and closing his eyes to tofu.

After more than 20 years of study, he finally mastered the production methods of all tofu dishes, and successfully returned to the Colorful Mist Space.

Standing up, he looked back at the metal plate behind him, and saw that there was indeed an extra piece of information in his personal specialty column.

Li Yi

Personal Occupation: [Chef]

Personal specialty: [Supreme Emperor Fried Rice], [The World's Best Beef Noodles], [Tofu Banquet]

Looking at the three words [Tofu Banquet], Li Yi still had some heart palpitations.

The difficulty of learning this [Tofu Feast] is much more difficult than the first two.

However, if you pay, you will gain, and now he knows the ingredient of tofu anymore.

He has mastered dozens of different materials and states of tofu production methods, as well as hundreds of tofu dishes.

Even with just tofu, he can make a table with a variety of flavors and flavors.

Looking over the wooden tablet, he noticed that the fog wall was a little lighter than the last time he had entered.

He came to the wall of fog and tried to press it hard.

This time, he kept his hand to elbow depth so that he couldn't move any further.

Obviously, the gold content of [Tofu Banquet] is much higher than that of [Supreme Emperor Fried Rice] and [The World's Best Beef Noodles].

Because the ingredients eaten in those two dishes are not low.

The ingredients used in the tofu feast are all very cheap tofu.

Naturally, this will require more skill from the chef.

Withdrawing his hand, Li Yi did not explore further.

Twenty-four years of dreaming made him very tired, and he returned directly to reality.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound.

There was an extra stone mill the size of a basin at his feet.

This is what he brought out when he entered the dream space this time.

It was a stone mill carved out of a single piece of sesame black granite, which he had made with a lot of money in the dream space.

The hardness of this stone mill is high, the wear resistance is good, the texture is delicate, and the tofu that is ground out is also as white as jade and crystal clear.

Under the high level of mental fatigue, he was too lazy to touch the stone mill, so he simply let it be placed at his feet.

It was still dark outside the window, about the same as when he first fell asleep.

But the time on his mobile phone told him that twenty-four hours had actually passed, a whole day and a night.

There were a dozen missed calls and dozens of messages in the phone.

Li Yi didn't have time to look, he was already asleep.

What he didn't know was that at this time, countless netizens on the Internet were eagerly discussing the latest episode of "Challenging the Limit" that had just aired.

And Li Yi is the core of the topic that everyone is talking about.
