Chapter 45: Mapo Tofu

"Sister Kou, if you don't come forward again, the reputation of this Shu cuisine will be completely ruined!" The shopkeeper of the Tiancantang is trying to persuade an old lady who is watering flowers, and the old lady's appearance still has a little charm of her youth, which makes people can't help but think about how beautiful and moving she should have been back then, this person is the mapo that Zhou Qian and Zhang Fu tried their best to find, and her real name is Kou Jingyue.

"Old Tang, it's not that I don't help you, according to our friendship for more than two years, if it is anything else, I will leave my yard again, but you are too disagreeable this time, you actually lost to two little dolls, what do you call me, do you want me to show my old face and fight with them? Ma Po shook her head disapprerovingly, and said: "It's okay if you lose this face, if you lose face, you will endure the humiliation and burden, and you can be brave after being ashamed, so why worry about not being able to get back face?"

"The truth is so, but people in the world will not look at us like this, Shu cuisine has always been one of the three flavors of the imperial dining room, if the reputation of Shu cuisine is discredited, then others don't care what your real situation is, they will definitely abandon you as if you were a shoe, and then you will lose the ranking of the imperial dining room, and the status of this Shu cuisine in the eight major cuisines will also be lost!"

"If you lose it, you lose it, what's the pity," Ma Po smiled faintly and said, "This dish is made for others to eat, others think you do well, they will naturally praise your field, if you can't do it as well as others, then you can't blame others for their cooking skills." ”

"But......" Old Tang, the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Dining Hall, was about to continue to persuade, when the door of the courtyard was slammed open, and Huang San, the chef of the Xiangxiang Residence, came out;

"Huang San, why are you free today?" Ma Poqi said, "Your Taibai Mansion has always been prosperous, how can you get out?"

"Don't mention it!" Huang San smiled bitterly: "I was kicked out of the hall by two children, but this face was lost outside Chengdu Mansion, how can I be embarrassed to sit in Taibai Building, this is not your old man's house to breathe the air." ”

"You also lost?" Old Tang sympathized with schadenfreude and said, "How did you lose?"

"I fought with the two little ghosts for a total of eighteen dishes, the first seventeen are not divided into winners and losers, the bad is bad on the last full moon soup, you must know that although this full moon soup belongs to the Shu cuisine, but it is more like the delicate knife work of Su cuisine, the taste is sweet, especially the crescent moon made of tofu in the full moon soup, but also to have the artistic conception of the moon in the water, I made the tofu crescent moon in the way of Shu cuisine, although the taste is unique, but it has lost the long distance of the full moon like water, the two little ghosts are also extraordinary, the full moon carved by tofu can form the beauty of the moon halo, this dish I lost the heart of the mouth!”

"If the full moon soup wants to form a moon halo, the soup must be superb, and the tofu carver must be fascinated, who are these two little ghosts? So powerful? Compared to the ...... back then," Ma Po shook her head. "Tell me about the characteristics of these two people's cooking. ”

"That Zhang Fu's cooking skills are old-fashioned, full of charm, obviously he has won the true inheritance of a famous teacher, and he is also very experienced, and his skills can be compared to our group of old guys, and the person called Zhou Qian is a geek!" Huang San organized the next words, "This kid talks about his cooking and ingredients, it is like the level of the most inferior roadside stall, but if you compare his knife ideas, the old man dares to say that there are few people today." If it is just one of them, the old man is not stunned at all, but if the two of them work together, with Zhang Fuzhi's cooking techniques, and then with Zhou Qian's knife creativity, I dare to say that in this world, you and the Yishan master of Shizuka Lou can compare. ”

"Who are the masters of these two?" Ma Po said curiously.

"It has been found out, Zhang Fu is a protégé of Yishan, a descendant of Su cuisine, as for this Zhou Qian, it seems to be a small house in Jingxiang Building, this Jingxiang Building is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, just a small house can have such a talent, I think his future achievements will not be inferior to Zhang Fu. Huang San shook his head with emotion.

"Hmph!" The kind-faced Mapo put down her face rarely, and said: "Yi Shan is a person who is not responsible, what good qualities can his apprentice have, even if this matter is not instructed by him, it must be related to him, hum! At this age, he is still so hypocritical, I saw through him back then, if it wasn't for him, the eldest sister would not have died!"

"Sister Kou, what if these two boys continue to do this?" Old Tang said cautiously, he didn't know the grievances between this 'Sister Xiang' and Master Yishan.

"Send a message to those two boys, stop messing around, if you really want to see me, wait ......"

“...... After making the ninth flavor of mapo tofu, the old man will naturally take the two to the place where the mapo lives in seclusion, so is there a problem with the two of them?" Huang San returned to Taibai Building and said to the two.

Zhang Fu and Zhou Gan looked at each other, could this Ma Po be unpredictable?

Zhang Fu frowned and said: "This mapo tofu only has eight flavors, numb, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh, and live, where does the ninth flavor come from?"

Huang San laughed: "I don't know, but when it will be made into the ninth flavor, and when will I take the two to see Mapo." However, before that, the dining hall of Taibai Building could be borrowed for two people. ”

After Huang San left, Zhang Fu said irritably: "Obviously there are only eight flavors, where is the ninth flavor? That old woman must be so intentional! She just doesn't want the two of us to see her!"

"Don't worry, you will definitely make this mapo tofu, let's make one first, we are researching and researching!" Zhou Qian comforted.

The two came to the dining hall, Zhang Fu skillfully selected the ingredients, and explained to Zhou Qian: "The eight flavors of mapo tofu are the signs of testing the unqualified chefs in Shuzhong, and the hemp is made of Hanyuan Gong pepper, which is so spicy that it is a watercress made of red robe oil.

Zhang Fu looked at the ingredients in his hand with satisfaction, and said: "This Huang Laosan is still a little open-minded, and the materials are the best, which is a little worse than Jingxianglou's......"

And Li Sanshan and Li Second Brother, who were thousands of miles away, cried and mourned, and said: "I said master, is it really ten years before I can return to Middle-earth? My three brothers, the eldest and the third must be in a hurry now, can't you let me go back to see them first?"

Dozens of zhang of Shenzhou carved beams and painted buildings, the construction is exquisite and ingenious, the outside of the boat body is also filled with purple gas, and the palaces are disillusioned and born in the purple gas, which seems mysterious and abnormal. At this moment, Shenzhou was speeding westward at an extremely fast degree, and the sound of air explosions was heard from time to time in the surrounding atmosphere.

In the Shenzhou, Li Sanshan was frowning and whispering to an old man in Tsing Yi with a treacherous face with two beards and a treacherous face. The old man smiled and let go of the little turtle in his hand, but Li Sanshan didn't dare to underestimate this little turtle, he was transformed from yesterday's Baizhang monster.

"Let you go naturally there is a reason to let you go, the next ten years will be more and more intense The dispute between the demons and demons will become, no monk can escape this whirlpool, you have not yet achieved the Dao Fa, maybe that day will be refined by the evil Taoist soul, the second catastrophe of the old Tao has just passed, and he is about to cultivate, but there is no time to cultivate another mantle heir, you can give me peace of mind on the road, there are thousands of overseas islands, countless small countries, there are you to play, don't worry!"

"But my two brothers still don't know where I am! If they find out that the big ship has been destroyed, maybe where they secretly shed tears!Especially the third brother, this kid can't stand the blow, master, you have to help me~~ Who doesn't know that master, you are wise and martial, and your temperament is dashing......" Second Brother Li squandered one after another, and suddenly slapped the obscene old Taoist priest with a smile.

"Good boy, he has understanding, he has bones, and this cleverness is also very suitable for my appetite of the real people of the Great Wilderness, so let's help you again as a teacher!" The old Taoist priest opened his mouth and spit out, and a bright sword light flew to the east. "With my flying sword to pass the book, you can rest assured!"

Li Sanshan let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly there was another burst of sycophants, and he said at the end: "Master, what kind of immortal cultivation method are you going to teach me?"

The Great Wilderness True Man laughed and said: "My vein is the true inheritance of the ancient immortals, and the wheel and path system is not inferior to the seven major sects and the five major demon sects, with a total of two fundamental methods, a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and a hundred treasure maps......"

Zhang Fu skillfully cooked, fried and fried, and after a while, a plate of red oil and white curd, fragrant mapo tofu was made, Zhou Qian hurriedly tasted it, and praised: "It's so spicy, so slippery, so delicious!" Zhang Fu frowned and said: "Eat it, these eight flavors have exhausted the true meaning of this tofu dish, one point is more, and one point is less, so where does the ninth flavor come from?"

As soon as Zhang Fu raised his head, he saw that Zhou Qian was eating really fragrant, and a large plate of mapo tofu was quickly swept away, touched his mouth, and said with emotion: "It's so fragrant! It's delicious! This mapo is also a powerful person!"

Zhou Qian saw Zhang Funa's expression of wanting to eat himself, and said helplessly: "How can you taste the eight flavors if you don't eat them?

Zhang Fu said angrily: "Then you have come up with the ninth flavor?"

Zhou Qian shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "No." ”

"Hey~" both sighed at the same time.

In the next few days, the two of them ate and lived in the dining hall, and they painstakingly studied what this ninth taste was, but they were always puzzled! Zhou Qian felt that it was like practicing a sword, and it was clear that there were only eight moves in the sword book, but he had to find out the ninth of them, which made people almost scratch their scalps.

"If there is no ninth flavor, how about we create a ninth flavor?" Zhou Qian was lying on the ground, surrounded by a full of tofu slag, and suddenly said.

"Create the ninth flavor?" Zhang Fu was stunned. "Is that okay?"

"Why not?" Zhou Qian asked rhetorically.

"Yes, why not?" Zhang Fu said to himself, "Yes!

"But how to do it?" Zhou Qian couldn't help but scratch his head again, and the two glanced at each other, both of them seeing a confusion in each other's eyes......
