"I see."

Sui nodded suddenly, and then sighed: "It's not easy for the fungus to be cut into dragon whiskers!" ”

Li Yi showed a hint of a smile: "Do you want to learn?" I teach you? ”

Sui looked at him, and he was really a little moved for a while.

But Li Yi didn't wait for him, turned around and ordered Zhao Jinmai: "Go and get a piece of southern tofu, and the fungus I soaked." ”

Seeing that Li Yi took out a piece of board and began to clean it, Sui suddenly asked: "I saw Lao Gao two days ago, it was Gao Wenlin, he made a dish of chicken bean curd, it tasted very good, he said that he learned it from you, is it really fake?" ”

"Really."

Li Yi glanced at him and asked with a smile: "He spent 40,000 yuan, do you think it's worth it?" ”

"Huh?"

Sui was stunned: "Only 40,000? He told me it cost 400,000. ”

As soon as the words came out, he also realized that he had been deceived by Lao Gao, and immediately shook his head with a smile.

Turning around to find the camera, he smiled and scolded at the camera: "Lao Gao Ling is a big liar, I was almost deceived by you, you wait, I'll clean you up next time I drink." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Yi again, a little puzzled: "That chicken bean curd is a bit doorway, especially suitable for high-end catering, and you can sell it for 40,000 yuan in the secret recipe?" That's a bit of a loss, isn't it? ”

"It's not difficult for those who know, but it won't be for those who are difficult."

Li Yi didn't think about it, and then smiled: "Moreover, if I sell it more expensively, then this dish will really be lost." ”

Sui was stunned when he heard this, his smile disappeared, and then he praised it: "There is a pattern, but I am shallow." ”

While speaking, Zhao Jinmai had already sent the ingredients that Li Yi wanted.

Putting the fungus aside, Li Yi put the southern tofu on the cutting board, and then took out a willow leaf thin knife from the knife box, and cut off the hard skin of the upper and lower left and right front and back surfaces of the southern tofu, leaving only the most tender inner core.

Sui quietly watched Li Yi's operation, did not speak, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

The practical tofu shredded, he also tried, and he can do it.

He wanted to see how Li Yi's knife skills were.

Before coming, he had contacted Lao Tang and Lao Gao.

Those two are very good at cooking and eating, but when they mentioned this Li Yi, they all praised each other, and they almost didn't boast to the sky.

This made Sui have a strong interest and curiosity in Li Yi, who he had never met.

He watched the video of Li Yi cooking fried rice before, and also watched some live broadcasts in the past two days.

Li Yi's anti-heaven speculation really left a deep impression on him.

But in terms of knife work, Li Yi did not show anything special.

For a good chef, knife skills are the most basic.

Li Yi's frying skills have a super-first-class level, and his knife skills will definitely not be worse than frying skills.

So after Sui came to the restaurant, he directly ordered Tai Chi Fushou soup, which is the most testing knife work, and wanted to see Li Yi's knife work.

Li Yi didn't notice Sui Ben's scrutinizing eyes, he just casually cut the tofu around neatly, and then cut it at an oblique 45° angle on the top of the tofu.

"Huh?"

Seeing this knife, casually frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

How did he cut diagonally?

Does he want to cut diagonally?

Impossible, right?

The shredding has always been straight, and there is never such a thing as a bevel cut.

Diagonal cutting is generally only used when cutting celery, cabbage and other vegetables with more fiber, which can cut off the fiber while retaining more meat quality and making the ingredients more juicy.

Generally, people only use an oblique knife to cut sections, at most, when cutting meat, use an oblique knife to cut slices, but that is also when cutting meat.

It is absolutely impossible to cut tender tofu into shreds as thick as a human hair with an oblique knife.

No one in the world can do it!

However, just when Sui Ben was sure in his heart, Li Yi went under the knife!

He rubbed some water on the sides of the blade, and then slashed diagonally along the cut that had just been cut by the oblique knife.

The slender blade sank into the delicate tofu without the slightest sound or blockage.

Li Yi pressed the tofu at the broken point with one hand and the knife with the other, and cut the knife steadily and lightly one after another, cutting into the tofu again and again, and then pulling it out without delay, and then cutting in again.

Looking at Li Yi's operation, Sui's eyes widened instantly.

This is the knife technique of oblique blade meat!

Li Yi is really using the knife method of oblique blade meat to cut tofu slices!

Because of Sui Benmei's identity as a food connoisseur, several people present were paying attention to him.

Seeing his surprised face, Liu Yifei on the side asked, "Teacher Sui Ben, is Brother Yi's knife technique okay?" ”

"I don't dare to say it now, I have to see the final result."

Sui stared at Li Yi's movements, his eyes didn't dare to blink, and his expression looked a little dignified.

If Li Yi really used an oblique knife to slice the tofu into dragon whisker shreds, then he may really be called the strongest knife worker!

It is more than ten times more difficult for an oblique knife to be cut into a straight knife.

The straight knife is the least difficult and the most convenient knife method, you only need to master the strength, straight up and down, you can slice and shred.

Take shredded potatoes as an example, the average apprentice who learns to cook can basically master the knife technique of a straight knife after a year and a half of study, and cut it decently.

But if you want to cut the same slices and shreds with an oblique knife, it is at least ten times more difficult.

And most importantly, it is not necessary at all.

Straight knives can also cut shreds, so why practice oblique knife cutting?

If an apprentice usually asks Sui Ben why he doesn't cut shredded potatoes with an oblique knife, Sui Ben will definitely say that he takes off his pants and farts, which is too much.

But if it was placed at this moment, Sui would not dare to say it.

Because from a theoretical point of view, the finished product will indeed be better if the tofu shreds are cut diagonally.

Because the tofu is too tender, if it is cut with a straight knife, the slices will easily collapse and the bottom may be folded together.

In this way, when shredding, it is easy to cut out small pieces and minced pieces.

Although most of the tofu slices can still be cut into shredded tofu, there will still be a certain proportion of small pieces and minced pieces, and the overall visual sense is not extreme.

But oblique knife cutting is different.

The oblique knife cut will make the cut tofu slices affected by gravity, and they will be stacked diagonally one by one, like collapsed dominoes, even and neatly.

In this way, when shredding, the tofu slices can also be cut into thin strips to the greatest extent, and the proportion of small pieces and minced will be greatly reduced.

But just to make the tofu shredded more, it is really necessary to use the oblique knife cutting method that is more than ten times more difficult?

At this time, Li Yi had already cut to the end of the tofu.

When he was still a centimeter away from the end, he stopped and pulled out the end of the tofu.

As he pulled the piece of tofu away, the tofu in the center collapsed on the board in turn, as if it had lost its support.

Thin slices of tofu are stacked on top of each other, like dragons drawn from playing cards on the table.

Seeing this scene, Sui was completely shocked!

He also really used the oblique knife cutting method to cut out the tofu slices!
