Chapter 121: Tofu
Chapter 121 Tofu
"Everyone, I'm sorry for the delay on the road, but I'm glad I made it to this competition. The manager of Ma said, but the voice of this voice is different from the previous Aunt Ma, the previous Aunt Ma spoke femininely, and now it sounds very masculine???
"First of all, congratulations to the five people on the field, you are all masters of Yunnan cooking, you are here today to compete high, the last dish I will give you is tofu. Manager Ma said.
This guy's current expression and momentum of speech are far different from Aunt Ma???? Could it be that I recognized the wrong person??If you think about it carefully, how could Aunt Ma become such a person who has studied cooking skills so well??Could it be that this guy is the same as Li Mu, just a person who looks like Aunt Ma in ancient times??? But I still have to inquire, it's better to talk to this guy face-to-face to see if he's Aunt Ma or not.
"Tofu ??????"
"I'll cook such a simple dish????"
"yes??? Ha ha??? Tofu ?????"
??????
The whole person who could keep up with the sweat was discussing, as if they thought the question from Manager Ma was too simple, but the expressions of the five people on this occasion were all nervous.
Maybe this is just the layman looking at the lively, and the insider looking at the doorway.
"Hehe, don't think that this tofu is easy to cook, the simpler the dish, but it is the most difficult to reach the highest level of cooking, I hope that the five people present can think carefully about how to use the few pieces of tofu in your hands, and the game time is still a stick of incense." The results of the competition are based on the color, aroma, taste, shape, and nourishment of several final dishes, but at the end there is also a personal additional score of mine, which accounts for 200 points, which is based on your creativity in tofu dishes. I hope you all get my 200 points. Manager Ma said with a smile.
At this time, the people in the crowd understood that the question from the manager of the horse was not simple. The five people on the field also seemed very serious, and the five contestants talked with the assistants next to them.
"Okay, everyone has decided, then the game officially begins. Manager Ma said loudly.
Then another gong sounded. The race is on.
All five of them started to get busy. Not for a while. The scent of the field wafted over.
I deliberately looked at the Golden Cauldron King, and the Golden Cauldron King's face also looked relaxed at the moment, and the three apprentices beside him had also been busy preparing various ingredients. It seems that this old man has good confidence.
"Sister Xiao, look at that fat pig, your eyes are always staring at that girl, it's disgusting. Wang Zhi said on the side.
I looked at it with my eyes, that Huang Yanxiu was indeed disgusting, and his eyes were staring at the little girl of the Gu family, and the little girl of the Gu family turned her face to the side and looked very angry.
"Wang Zhi, tell you to watch the competition, why do you see people laughing at girls. I said with a smile.
"Sister Xiao, I'???? I just hate that fat pig. Wang Zhi said.
"Haha, I also said that I don't like people, hum. I said.
"Me?? I didn't ????." Wang Zhi stammered, his face already red.
"If you like it, you like it, watch the game well, and talk about it when the game is over. I said.
"Hehe, I know that Sister Xiao is the best. Wang Zhi said happily.
Hehe, this guy, but this little girl's long voice is beautiful, Wang Zhiqing's Dou Chu opened, but this fat pig is quite troublesome, let's find a way to do it afterwards, see if I can help Wang Zhi, this little girl, get it.
As time passed, the game of five people on the field also entered the final stage, and the aroma kept wafting from this one.
"It's so fragrant???" Wang Zhi on the side couldn't help smacking his lips and said.
It's time for a stick of incense.
A gong sounded.
"Okay guys, it's time, stop by. Shopkeeper Liu stood up and said.
The five people in the room stopped, and the prepared dishes were served on their plates.
"Let's go to the rostrum from left to right. Shopkeeper Liu said.
The first one on the left was a short old man with gray hair, and as soon as Shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, he walked up to the rostrum with the dishes.
"In the indecent zhangzhu, the dish of the competition is called shiitake mushroom tofu, please taste it. The old man said in a loud voice.
The people on the rostrum tasted the old man's dishes one by one, and their faces showed happy looks.
Mr. Ma was the last to taste.
"Eun??? Not bad?? Not bad???? This mushroom-stuffed tofu tastes really good, first hollow out the tofu, then chop the mushrooms, mix them with good mustard, and mix them with starch??? Wrong??? You should also add shrimp powder to this starch. Chief Ma asked the old man.
"Mr. Ma is really a master, and he immediately tasted the shrimp powder I added in it, and he admired and admired it. The old man said with a smile.
"Hehe, the umami of shiitake mushrooms with shrimp powder is stronger, well, very good. Mr. Ma nodded.
"Okay, second place, please play. Shopkeeper Liu saw that Manager Ma didn't say anything anymore and shouted into the field.
The second is a middle-aged man with a relatively fat figure, and this man is also excited, and the dishes in his hand are served.
"I'm Luo Gang, this dish is called Guifei Tofu. The middle-aged man said in a loud voice.
The people on the same rostrum tasted it one by one, and arrived at Mr. Ma's.
"Haha, master, absolute master!" said Mr. Ma with a smile.
"The taste and texture of this concubine tofu are just right, and this concubine tofu is said to be a favorite dish of Yang Guifei back then. First beat the eggs and add a little salt and water to steam for a few minutes, then cut the eggs into pieces with the tofu, and then put these two things in the oil pan and fry for 2-3 minutes in the pot, the tofu is poured into the plate where the cauliflower was prepared before, and finally the tomatoes are mashed and stir-fried in the oil pan for a few minutes and then poured on the tofu, a very good dish, although this dish is not the first for you, but the biggest highlight of this dish today is the tomato juice you use, the juice is thick and delicious. The ratio of sweet and sour is also just right, haha, at this time, the concubine tofu I have eaten is the best. Manager Ma said excitedly.
"Thank you Mr. Ma for the compliment. Luo Gang said with a smile.
"Okay, please take a break, and the next one will come up. Manager Ma said with a smile.
The middle-aged man walked over with a smile on his face, and at this time he came to the stage was a middle-aged man who was the thinnest of the five, this person's facial features were relatively plain, but there was an extra black mole the size of a fingernail on the upper right side of his forehead, which made people look a little uncomfortable.
"My name is Wang Yuxing, and the dish I participated in the competition is called tofu balls. The man's voice whispered.
The people on the rostrum tasted the man's tofu balls with a happy face.
It's time for Mr. Ma.
"The entrance is dry and smooth, and the combination of water and water is also very reasonable. Manager Ma said.
"Thank you for the compliment. Wang Yuxing said with a slight smile.
"It's just ???" Manager Ma's face changed.
At this time, the man's face also became nervous.
"It's just that this tofu should be boiled in boiling water for one to two minutes before it is mashed. It's a pity. Manager Ma said.
"That's what Mr. Ma said. It was my negligence. The man followed.
"Hehe, it's pretty good in general. I won't talk about this tofu ball, please go down and rest first, and the next one will come up. Manager Ma said.
Wang Yuxing walked off the stage with a depressed face.
The fourth is the old man called the Golden Cauldron King.
"In the next person called the golden pot king Xiong Gangbin. The name of the dish is tofu monkey brain. The old man said confidently.
"Golden Cauldron King???? The crowd erupted in cheers. It seems that this guy has a lot of fans.
Listen to the name of this dish, you know that this guy uses tofu to make this traditional famous dish monkey brain. I've heard of this dish in modern times, it's very difficult to make, and I want tofu to make it into the taste of monkey brain. This is something that countless chefs dare not challenge.
The people on the rostrum were also curious, the name of the dish itself is very famous, but it is very rare for people to really do it, and today the Golden Pot King chose to do this It also made them feel very excited.
"Well, it's so delicious!" Huang Yanxiu, the fat pig man on the rostrum, shouted.
"I'm going to ask my father to recruit you into the Huang family and cook this dish for me every day, haha. The fat pig man continued.
"Hikoshu ???" The Lord Wang next to him stopped the fat pig man's performance.
"It's delicious. Lord Wang also opened his mouth and praised.
The rest of the rostrum, including the little prince of the Mu Palace, all opened their mouths to praise this dish of the Golden Pot King, and it seems that the Golden Pot King has a high chance of winning the championship.
"Well???? This taste???? It's really the taste of monkey brain????" Mr. Ma gently scooped a spoonful into his mouth, then closed his eyes with a satisfied smile on his face.
The Golden Cauldron King also had a triumphant smile on his face.
"Tofu monkey brain, let the tofu have the taste of monkey brain, this kung fu is indeed very good, carefully taste and find that the tofu itself has no taste, on the contrary, the mellow feeling of this monkey brain is very strong, yes, Dali is really full of talents, this tofu in your hands are all done very well, Ma admires and admires, and asks the Xiong seniors to rest first, and the last one can determine the first place today. Manager Ma looked very polite and said to Xiong Gangbin, depending on the situation, this Manager Ma also confirmed that the champion of the Golden Cauldron King belonged to him.
"The last one to come up. Shopkeeper Liu said on the side.
The last one is a man who looks the youngest, this man's expression has always been dull, maybe the current situation is not good for him, this dish of the Golden Cauldron King is indeed very strong.
"In Xia Yinluo, this dish is called clear soup tofu. The man said lightly.
"Clear soup tofu?? Haha? How can you compare it to this monkey brain???" Many people in the crowd suddenly talked about it.
Indeed, the name of the dish doesn't sound like there's any chance of winning.
But the expressions of the people on the stage who tasted it were very surprised.
"Yike???? Delicious?????" Na Mu Ang cried out in a lost voice.
"The best???" The fat pig man also screamed.
What is the situation???? Why did this man's dish make these people on the rostrum feel so excited, is this guy's clear soup and tofu really delicious, let's see what Mr. Ma has to say.
The whole audience seemed very silent at the moment, and these thoughts were in line with mine, waiting for the final comment of the horse manager.
I saw that the manager gently scooped a spoonful into the soup bowl with a small spoon, then slowly put it in his mouth, and then closed his eyes.
The expression on Manager Ma's face became very intoxicated, and a minute had passed, and he had not opened his eyes.
There was silence in the audience.
Three minutes passed, and the guy still looked intoxicated and didn't open his eyes.
???????
Another three minutes passed.
"Grace ????????????" Only then did the horse manager let out a long sigh.
The crowd on the field also began to talk.
"The fragrance is delicious, the aftertaste is endless, and it is the best in the world. Manager Ma said slowly.
In just a few words, this dish is already very good. (To be continued......)
