When Liu Yifei heard this, she first looked back at Li Yi, and when she saw Li Yi nodding, she said happily: "You can do it, please sit down first, wait a while, drink some tea, and the dishes will be fine for a while." ”

As she spoke, she beckoned the family of three to sit down, and Liu Yun hurriedly went to get a cup and prepared to make tea.

Li Yi clapped his hands, turned around and went back to the kitchen, and began to prepare food.

The first customer came to the door, Huang Xiaoming was very nervous, greeted outside, and ran into the kitchen to ask: "Li Yi, do you want to help?" ”

"No, you just need to call outside."

Li Yi waved his hand.

Among these dishes, salted tofu, dried tofu with sauce and Taishan Sanmei soup are all simple, the ingredients are ready, and you can shine at hand.

Only the Qilin offering blessings is more troublesome, and you have to waste some effort, but others can't help much, so Li Yi can only come by himself.

"One piece of northern tofu, three pieces of southern tofu, and one piece of dried tofu, go get it."

Li Yi gave an order to Zhao Jinmai, and quickly cut the green onions.

Zhao Jinmai hurriedly ran to the fresh-keeping cabinet, and quickly brought tofu according to Li Yi's request.

"Put it here, go get the hair cabbage."

Li Yi motioned for her to put the tofu down, then rinsed the knife, then picked up the dried tofu and cut it into long strips.

Among these four dishes, the easiest to make is the dried tofu with sauce.

The soy sauce Li Yi has already been boiled, and you can use it directly.

"Isn't that it?"

Zhao Jinmai took a bag of dried seaweed like hair and sent it over, and asked Li Yi.

"Well, find a plate, take a loaf of bread out, and put it on the plate."

When Li Yi took Zhao Jinmai to the farmers' market, he taught her to recognize the hair cabbage.

"Okay."

Zhao Jinmai found a round porcelain plate and took out a round pancake-shaped fat cabbage from the bag and placed it in the center of the plate.

This hair cabbage is an A-grade product that Li Yi bought from the boss of Fu Province in the market, it is clean and free of sediment, and it is also gathered into a round cake shape, which is easy to use.

Zhao Jinmai prepared the hair cabbage, and Li Yi also cut the dried tofu.

He placed the square, brick-like dried tofu on top of the fat cabbage.

First six, then seven, then eight, and after two layers, back to seven.

Like a stack of building blocks, he arranged the dried tofu into a narrow bottom and a middle width, and narrowed a little at the top.

Looking at the shape of the dried tofu, Zhao Jinmai hesitated a little, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Yi's shape of the dried tofu seems to be a little... Sort of..."

She wasn't too embarrassed to say it.

But Li Yi knew what she wanted to say, so she said it for her: "It's like a coffin, right?" ”

"Oh yes!"

Zhao Jinmai nodded embarrassedly.

"Do you see if this tofu coffin has been cushioned by the cabbage?"

Li Yi pointed to the base of the dried tofu and said with a smile: "This is called promotion and fortune." ”

"Oh, it has a meaning!"

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.

"Of course, there is a meaning, the dishes on the banquet are all exquisite, and the different identities of the diners will also affect the shape of the plating."

Li Yi said with a smile: "If in ancient times, if you really cook for the emperor, you must not be able to put it in this shape, it is a big rebellion." ”

Zhao Jinmai asked curiously: "Then if you serve this dish to the emperor, how should you arrange it?" ”

"Vertically."

Li Yi explained: "Cut into the shape of bamboo, poured with soy sauce, it is the South China Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, and then put a tofu engraved Guanyin behind, meaning Guanyin blessings." ”

"Wow! Sounds good! ”

Zhao Jinmai admired.

Zheng Jun, who was helping to choose vegetables on the side, couldn't help but be amused: "It's still the chefs who will fool the emperor, and cutting a few dried tofu is the blessing of Guanyin." ”

Li Yi also smiled: "It's a person who wants to eat, and he still wants to eat something delicious, and the emperor is also a human being, and he is no exception." ”

After speaking, he picked up a round spoon, scooped a spoonful of soy sauce, and poured it on the dried tofu.

Then, he put the chopped green onion on the dried tofu, scooped a spoonful of soybean oil pressed by the ancient method with a frying spoon, put it in a pot and heated it over a fierce fire, and then poured it on the green onion.

Zila!

The flavor of green onions mixed with the original taste of compound soy sauce, as well as the flavor of dried tofu and soybean oil, Zhao Jinmai took a deep breath and exclaimed: "Wow! It smells so good! ”

Zheng Jun was also attracted by this fragrance, and looked at it curiously: "It smells quite fragrant." ”

"That's it."

Li Yi raised his hand and pressed the food bell at the mouth: "Serve!" ”

"It's coming!"

Hearing this, Qin Lan hurried over and prepared to serve the dishes.

Approaching the kitchen door, she held her breath.

The childhood memories in her mind made her particularly sensitive to the beany smell of tofu.

She was afraid of smelling the beany smell of tofu, and when she did, she would be nauseous.

Therefore, she planned to hold her breath on the way to the food, so as not to smell the beany smell and lose her temper.

But when she came to the food outlet, she was dumbfounded when she saw the trembling dried tofu on the plate.

This dried tofu is arranged as narrow at the bottom and wide in the middle, and it is not easy to serve at first glance.

If it fails, the presentation will be ruined.

Seeing her coming, Li Yi advised: "Be careful when you end it, don't collapse it." ”

Really.

Qin Lan was a little embarrassed, but in front of the camera, she still responded: "Oh." ”

This sound made her deflated, and she subconsciously took a small breath of air.

Finished!

She chuckled in her heart.

If you smell the beany smell, it's over.

However, the scent of a wisp of green onion entered her nasal cavity and attached to her nasal mucosa, gently stimulating her olfactory nerve.

Huh? The smell of this green onion is quite fragrant, and it doesn't seem to smell beany smell.

But she didn't dare to bet if she would smell beany in the next bite.

So, she continued to hold her breath, carefully holding the plate, and walked to the front hall.

But with such a plate of trembling dried tofu, she couldn't go fast at all, so she could only move in small steps.

And her heartbeat has also become a little faster because of the tension, and the consumption of oxygen is even greater.

There was a distance of twenty meters from the back hall to the front hall, and when she walked more than ten meters, she couldn't hold it back.

She had no choice but to take a small breath carefully.

Suddenly, a smell of green onions mixed with sauce and beans was inhaled into her lungs.

Finish... Huh?

She was startled at first, but then turned into surprise.

In this taste, there is not the beany smell that she imagined to make her sick, but a rich nutty bean flavor, just like the nut crisp sold in the cake shop.

How could it be this taste?

She sniffed again with some confusion, but there was still only the smell of beans, not the smell of beans.

This tofu doesn't seem to be quite the same.

She was still in front of the camera, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she brought the dish to the guests and put it on the table: "This is dried tofu with sauce, please use it slowly." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the shape of the dried tofu and was a little puzzled: "Why is it like this?" ”

"This is called promotion and wealth, good meaning."

The middle-aged man smiled and said the meaning of the shape.

As he spoke, he picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of dried tofu, put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly a few times, and suddenly exclaimed: "Eh! This dried tofu is delicious! ”

"Really?"

The middle-aged woman also picked up a piece of it in disbelief, tasted it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she beckoned to her son on the side: "Taste it, this is delicious!" ”

Qin Lan watched from the sidelines, feeling a little complicated.

If it was before, when she saw someone eating tofu, she would only think about avoiding her eyes and not looking.

But watching them eat this sauce mixed with dried tofu, she actually had a trace of curiosity, and wanted to ask if this dried tofu was really that delicious.

That's weird too!
