Chapter 496: [Kumian Tofu]

Click! Click!

Xiao Zhang can feel the flexibility transmitted by the louver silk when his teeth fall, and the brittle elasticity when he is bitten off by his teeth.

"It's so crispy!"

"It's delicious, it's delicious!"

Xiao Guo and the others were also satisfied and ate happily.

Syllable!

Zhang felt his head being patted.

Looking back, he found that Liao Wendong was standing behind him, and asked with a straight face, "Why don't you leave me a mouthful?" ”

"I ate the last bite, and so much was eaten by them."

Xiao Zhang pointed at Xiao Guo and sued.

"I just took a small bite."

"Me too."

Xiao Guo hurriedly explained.

Liao Wendong snorted and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

"It's delicious!"

Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "This texture tastes like cabbage, it's too crispy." ”

The pony also chimed in: "Cut so finely, and still be so crispy, this heat is amazing!" ”

Xiao Guo tasted carefully: "Salty and fresh, slightly spicy, slightly sour, with the aroma of beef soup, this taste is too balanced, perfect!" ”

Brother Jin was older than them, and he dared to joke with Liao Wendong, so he asked with a smile: "Boss, why don't you know this dish?" ”

"I want to learn, and someone has to teach me!"

Liao Wendong looked at Li Yi who walked towards the small pot stove with complicated eyes, and sighed: "This dish was sold for 168 plates in the eighties, not for nothing.

At that time, a worker's monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan, and a pound of grain cost two or three cents, and this dish could be sold for more than 100 yuan.

But even if there are more than 100 yuan, it is difficult to eat.

This dish can only be made in the best restaurants, and each plate is divided into ten portions per table.

At most, one person can get a mouthful, which is nearly 17 yuan, which is half a month's salary for a worker. ”

"So expensive?"

Xiao Zhang exclaimed: "According to the current price, this bite is worth 1,700 yuan!" ”

"Almost."

Liao Wendong smiled and quipped: "You are blessed, and you don't even remember the master." ”

Xiao Guo deliberately blocked his mouth with his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, boss, I already know how to do it, I'll teach you later." ”

"Just you?"

Liao Wendong pursed his lips and complained: "If you read it once, you will learn it, then I learned it eight hundred years ago."

There are many ways to do this! Without more than ten years of hard work, it will definitely not be possible. ”

Xiao Guo scratched his head and looked at Li Yi suspiciously: "Then how can he do it?" ”

"You ask me, I ask who is going?"

Liao Wendong looked at Li Yi, who came back with a soup pot, and his tone was embarrassed.

This question has also been bothering him.

The small fried pork dish Li Yi made yesterday already made him doubt his life a little, and today's dish hit him even harder.

As a Hunan chef, even a dish that he couldn't cook was actually made by a wild chef from other places.

It's also too devastating!

Boom!

Li Yi put the soup pot on the table, opened the lid, and a strong fragrance wafted out.

Smelling the aroma, Dong Haiqiang, who was frying fried yellow beef on the stove next door, subconsciously glanced here.

From his point of view, he could just see the white and tender square tofu cubes floating in the soup pot.

Such a fragrant taste, it's just tofu?

Wrong! This is certainly not your average tofu!

A dish suddenly occurred to him.

【Kumian Tofu】!

Since Li Yi can make [Kumian shark fin], then there is no reason why he can't make [Kumian Tofu]!

[Kumian Tofu] is the same as [Kumian shark's fin], both belong to the high-end genre of Hunan cuisine, Tanjia Kuan'an cuisine.

These two dishes are also the two most representative dishes of Kumian cuisine.

The production of "Kumian shark fin" is already very complicated, but the preparation of "Kumian Tofu" is even better.

It is said that Kumian Tofu is a representative dish of eating meat without seeing meat, and although it looks like tofu on the outside, it is actually made of meat.

After seeing the tofu in the soup pot, Xiao Zhang's expression was a little palpitating, and he couldn't help but ask Li Yi: "Is this a good job?" ”

"Alright."

Li Yi explained: "Put the bowl separately and drizzle a few drops of chicken fat on it. ”

After hearing the exact reply, Xiao Zhang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This dish had tormented them yesterday afternoon.

Although the tofu looks like tofu, it is made by straining the soft tofu with the crust off the crust into a fine puree, then mixing minced fish, minced meat, and minced chicken, and then steaming it again.

And these jobs are all done by a few of them.

Not to mention how troublesome and time-consuming it is to smash fish, pork and chicken into a fine puree, and to pick out all the fascia.

Speaking of the most basic tofu alone, Li Yi was so mad that he had to grind it himself and make it himself.

He specially brought a bag of soybeans from the capital to make this piece of tofu.

Xiao Zhang, on the other hand, grinded for a whole hour to grind these soybeans into soy milk.

Subsequently, after Li Yi made the soy milk into tofu, he asked him to knead it into tofu puree by himself.

Yesterday afternoon, this dish was only half prepared, and only the meat tofu was made.

This morning, Li Yi simmered it in broth for another two hours.

It wasn't until now that the dish was completely done.

Including the preparation time, it took almost a whole day just to make this dish.

After so long of preparation, Xiao Zhang's curiosity about this dish has been filled.

They were looking forward to having a few pieces left over after the meal so that they could taste it too.

However, to their disappointment, after the tofu was divided, there was only a piece of defective tofu left in the pot with broken edges.

Under their envious gaze, Liao Wendong took the soup spoon, took out the last piece of tofu, and put it in a small bowl.

He scooped up a spoonful of the base of the pot and poured it on the tofu, and he dipped the bottom of the spoon in the chicken fat bowl and kneaded it on the tofu.

The golden chicken fat quickly spreads out, coating the surface of the broth with a golden oil film.

Smiling with satisfaction, Liao Wendong cut a piece of tofu with a spoon and put it into his mouth along with the broth and chicken fat.

The teeth were pressed down, and the taste was the same as that of tofu, which made him really think that he was eating an ordinary piece of tofu.

But the fresh aroma of the broth, as well as the gravy oozing from the tofu, made him think he was eating meat again.

This wonderful interweaving of taste and taste made him close his eyes in enjoyment, and put all his attention on the taste and savored it.

Looking at his enjoyment, Xiao Zhang swallowed his saliva and couldn't help asking, "Boss, what does it taste like?" ”

Liao Wendong sipped the tofu with his tongue, mixed it with the broth and swallowed it, slowly soothed the aroma with his nostrils, experienced the enjoyment of the inner fragrance to the outside, and sighed sincerely: "One word!" Fragrant! Two words! It smells so good! Three words! Really TM incense! ”

Listening to his description, Xiao Zhang and the others couldn't hold it back.

Brother Jin directly reached out and took the soup bowl from Liao Wendong's hand: "Taste it!" Let's have some soup too! ”
