Chapter 108: This is the aesthetics of top knife work!

Although Sui Ben couldn't get started, he was very happy to be able to touch this level of kitchen knife.

Li Yi picked up the knife and began to cut the fungus shreds again.

Looking at Li Yi's skillful knife technique, Zheng Jun looked at it vigorously: "This knife technique, a real cow, if it was placed in ancient times, it would definitely be a well-known swordsman." ”

"yes..."

Wu Lei answered, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly seemed to have found something and sniffed at him.

Zheng Jun moved out a little weakly, but Wu Lei still smelled the smell.

Then, Wu Lei turned around, hurriedly ran to the side of the counter, and opened a small bowl covered with plates.

There are only a few red peanut skin left at the bottom of the bowl, and the fried peanuts inside are empty.

"Huh? Brother, have you finished eating? ”

Wu Lei wanted to cry without tears: "Didn't you say that one person and half of it?" ”

Zheng Jun smacked his lips in embarrassment, laughed embarrassedly, and then put on a disapproving look: "Why don't you eat a few peanuts from you?" Won't you just let Li Yi blow it up for you later? ”

Wu Lei looked at him with resentment, but he could only helplessly walk back with the bowl.

Here, Li Yi has already cut all the prepared fungus leaves into thin threads of dragon whiskers that can be threaded through needles.

Looking at the crystal clear fungus silks, Zheng Jun teased at Sui: "Teacher Sui, your 100,000 yuan seems to be in vain." ”

Sui smiled and shook his head.

How to cut the fungus dragon whisker silk, Li Yi has completely demonstrated it to him.

But after reading it, he found that he couldn't learn at all.

He doesn't have such a good knife as Li Yi, and even if he has such a good knife, he may not be able to have such a good knife work.

Sighing, he waved his hand as if to cheer himself up: "Not in vain!" To be able to see such a strong knife work, the money is well spent! ”

Li Yi's knife work is the strongest Sui Ben has ever seen in his life.

Even his master didn't have such fierce knife work.

This is the state that can only be achieved by doing one thing to the extreme.

But Sui suddenly remembered something.

It seems that Li Yi's frying skills are also the strongest he has ever seen!

The strongest frying skills and the strongest knife skills are all gathered on the same person, which makes Sui Ben can't help but be a little envious.

However, envy is envy, and Sui Ben did not have the slightest jealousy.

He knows very well that one minute on stage, ten years of work off the stage, behind any skill, is the dedication of countless sweats.

If you want to achieve such a state, it is definitely not something that can be summed up by a sentence of talent.

Li Yi has definitely made unimaginable efforts for this.

After putting all the cut fungus shreds into a bowl, Li Yi cleaned the knife, dried it with kitchen paper, and put it back in the knife box.

The next step is to make the soup.

Tai Chi Fu Shou Soup is made into a thick soup by making shredded tofu and fungus respectively, and then poured into the same soup basin, according to the principle of different fluid densities, so that two soups of different colors form the appearance of Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish in the basin.

And the key to the deliciousness of this soup is also in the broth.

It was still the vegetarian soup out of the house, Li Yi opened the lotus leaf above the Sushan Zhen soup pot, and the fresh aroma suddenly spread.

"Yo! Is this the soup stock you hang? ”

Sui was immediately attracted to it.

He beckoned above the soup pot with his hand, took a deep breath, and then asked with some surprise, "What good things do you have in here?" It smells so good! ”

"Mainly mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, lamb tripe, chicken fat, green heads, there are all there should be."

Listening to Li Yi report the names of a series of mushrooms as if reporting the names of the dishes, Sui was very surprised: "You are really willing!" That's too expensive, isn't it? ”

"There is a give-and-take."

Li Yi scooped out two large spoonfuls of broth with a soup spoon and said, "It's all about this mouthful of broth to enhance the taste!" ”

After the soup was served, he re-covered the lotus leaves and re-tied them with cotton thread to avoid the taste.

And just in a moment, the whole kitchen was already full of aroma, full of the umami of broth.

Smelling the fresh fragrance of the house, Sui Ben's mood was a little complicated.

This heat, yes!

Why did Li Yi even hang the broth so well?

Divide the broth into two portions casually, and Li Yi started the fire.

Place one serving of stock in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat until nine minutes hot.

When the soup was about to boil, Li Yi quickly turned off the heat and moved the pot to the edge of the stove.

Then, he took the glass bowl containing the shredded tofu and poured the shredded tofu into the pot along with the purified water in the bowl.

The tofu silk is still gathered together, like a ball of unsorted cotton thread.

But at this time, it must not be pushed away by force, which will break all the tofu shreds.

Li Yi took the soup spoon, gently pressed it into the soup with the back of the spoon, only touching the surface, and then turned it gently.

Use the back of the spoon to drive the soup little by little, and then use the rotation of the soup to drive the tofu shreds in the soup.

As he stirred, he saw strands of tofu shredded tofu pulled out of the "thread ball" and mixed into the soup little by little.

Seeing that the tofu shreds had all been dispersed, Li Yi was just about to turn around and order, so Sui asked, "Do you want starch water?" ”

He is also a professional chef and knows that Li Yi should be thickened.

"Excuse me."

Li Yi smiled.

Sui came to the desk with a smile, took a small bowl, found the starch, and helped him adjust the starch water.

While tuning, Sui then joked: "I'm here to be a food connoisseur, I haven't eaten a bite, so I'll help you start first." ”

"Doesn't that make you feel a little engaged, too?"

Li Yi took the bowl from his hand, poured starch water into the pot little by little, and kept pushing the soup with the soup spoon in his hand, joking: "This is the starch you adjusted, if you are not satisfied with the drink, it is your own problem." ”

Sui was happy: "Good guy! Waiting for me here? ”

"Out of the pot."

Li Yi adjusted the concentration of the soup, added a little salt to it, stirred it well with a spoon, and then brought the pot out.

Sui had already helped him take the basin and put it in a convenient place for him.

Watching Li Yi pour soup into the basin, Sui then taught Wu Lei his experience: "To be an apprentice is to have work in your eyes, when I was an apprentice, if the master didn't have anything to serve in the pot, he had to take off my hat and pour it into my hat." ”

Wu Lei scratched his head with a smile, and was immediately attracted by the soup in the basin: "It's so beautiful!" ”

In the transparent soup in the basin, there are slender white needles, which are all the same length and extremely slender tofu silk.

"This is the aesthetics of top knife work!"

Sui Ben couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

On the other side, Li Yi had already poured another share of broth into the pot, ready to make Taiyin soup.

The same operation as Sun Soup, except that the tofu is replaced with fungus shreds.

Before coming out of the pot, Li Yi also sprinkled a spoonful of salt, but in addition, he added another spoonful of four-leaf ginseng powder.

Four-leaf ginseng is one of the four famous medicines of Mount Tai, and it is also a symbol of "longevity" in Tai Chi Fu Shou soup.

After stirring well, Li Yi put the soup into another basin.

At this time, one white, one black, two pots of soup were placed in front of Li Yi.

I found a larger soup pot again, Li Yi picked up two pots of soup one in one hand, and then poured it into the soup pot at the same time.

The two completely different soups are also clearly distinguished, one left and one right, one white and one black, which is extremely clear.

But with the tilt of Li Yi's hands, the two strands of soup gradually rotated half a circle along the bottom of the basin, forming the shape of a white and a black yin-yang fish.

Seeing this scene, Wu Lei couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! Cool and spicy! ”

Leaving a little soup base at the bottom of their respective pots, Li Yi exchanged his hands and pointed out the less yin and less yang on the head of the yin and yang fish.

Immediately, a Tai Chi Fushou soup was ready.
