I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3449 Question
"Oh my god, how did you do that?"

"It really is like a magic show. It only took a few seconds from demoulding to completion. It's really amazing."

The audience's reaction was also quite astonished. They really didn't expect that someone could actually cook like this. It can be said that they were all shocked by Liu Maoxing's skill.

"Then let's start tasting." Linton said directly.

Soon Linton picked up a spoonful of tofu. The moment he put it into his mouth, the spicy and tender taste instantly filled his entire mouth.

This dish of Mapo Tofu was obviously not the first time that Linton had eaten it. His niece had made it before, Asuna could make it, and even Toosaka Rin had made it for Linton.

But the Mapo Tofu in front of me is obviously the best tasting.

Linton remembered that the animation mentioned several key features of Mapo Tofu at the beginning: numbing, spicy, hot, fresh, fragrant, crispy, tender, and lively. The Mapo Tofu in front of him was a work that combined all the above key features.

Not only that, this time a sweet taste was added to the work. Linton originally thought that this sweet taste would be strange, but in fact, it didn't feel strange at all, but instead highlighted other characteristics, which can be said to have sublimated the whole flavor.

Of course, this was Linton's reaction after he had already tasted the food of this world and had certain psychological expectations. Looking at Yalan next to him, it was obvious that she was enjoying the food of this world for the first time, and her expression was visibly happy as if she had eaten the best food.

"Hmm, delicious." After a long while, Ya Lan opened her eyes and said, "Impressive."

Yalan's adjectives are obviously simpler, after all, she certainly can't cook. It is estimated that her level of evaluation of food is at the same level as Linton.

But the little niece Fubuki on the other side was obviously different. She also showed a very enjoyable expression and then she began to ask about the situation. After all, she also likes to make delicious food and of course she wants to know how this mapo tofu is made.

"This black tofu is sweet tofu, and the taste is quite perfect. What is it made of?" asked Fubuki.

"I added brown sugar to the black bean tofu." Liu Maoxing replied.

"Oh, what else?" Fubuki continued to ask.

"Ah?" Liu Maoxing was stunned. "That's all. There's nothing else added."

"Huh?" Fubuki was stunned. "There's no way there isn't something else."

"Uh... there are really only these two things." Liu Maoxing said.

"Impossible. If nothing else, the color can't be just these two ingredients." Fubuki said, "Tell me, how can this tofu be black with just these two ingredients?"

"Shouldn't it be black?" asked Linton next to him.

"Uh...what color do you think soy milk will be if black beans are ground into it?" asked Fubuki.

"Black?" asked Linton.

"It should be white, okay? Only the outer shell of black beans is black, and the inner part is still white, okay?" Fubuki said.

"Isn't there still brown sugar?" Linton said.

"Then how much brown sugar do you think we need to add to achieve this color?" asked Fubuki.

"Uh..." Linton certainly didn't know.

"So with only these two raw materials, it is 100% impossible to make this kind of pure black tofu. At most, the color is just slightly darker than this tender tofu." Fubuki said, "To achieve the current color, some special dyes should be added, such as iron oxide or plant charcoal. However, adding these two pigments will change the taste more or less, but I couldn't taste it, so I wanted to ask what was added, for example... maybe squid ink will work. "Look, this is called professionalism." Linton pointed at Fubuki and said.

"But...but I only used two raw materials." Liu Maoxing was also confused, because he only used two raw materials and did not add any colorants.

"But..." Fubuki wanted to say something, but was stopped by Linton next to her.

"Magic, magic has been added here, do you understand?" Linton said quickly.

"Oh, I see. That makes sense." Fubuki nodded. "That's what I thought."

"Hey? What magic? What is that?" Liu Maoxing was completely confused. He had no idea what magic was.

"Anyway, you just used it, understand?" Linton said directly.

"but I……"

"Continue your comments." Linton interrupted quickly.

"This Mapo Tofu maintained a fairly high temperature when it came out of the mold. I guess it was cooked in the mold, right?" Fubuki asked.

"That's right." Liu Maoxing nodded.

"How did you do that?" Fubuki asked curiously.

"Please look at my mold." Liu Maoxing immediately showed his tofu mold, and everyone saw a grid structure under the mold. Seeing this, everyone suddenly understood how the tofu was cut. At the moment when Liu Maoxing removed the mold, he had already cut the tofu into cubes with this grid.

"I first put a layer of lard on the bottom of the mold, then pour white tofu on it, and then put more lard, and then black tofu, layer by layer. This way, the tofu materials between the layers will not mix or stick together. When it comes to demolding, they can be separated from each other and become what they are now," said Liu Maoxing.

"Oh, is that so?" Fubuki nodded.

"Then heat the bottom of the mold with charcoal fire in advance. The lard in the middle will melt due to the heat, and the tofu will also be cooked..." Liu Maoxing continued.

"So that's how it is. Amu, you weren't idle at that time. You were just looking at the fire, right?" Zhou Meili, who was standing next to her, thought of Liu Maoxing squatting next to the mold. She thought he was in a daze, but now she realized that he was not.

"That's right." Liu Maoxing nodded.

"Then how do you manage to bake or smoke the tofu over charcoal fire without letting the tofu have the smell of smoke?" Fubuki suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Liu Maoxing on this side was suddenly stunned.

"Generally speaking, charcoal-grilled and smoked dishes will have unique charcoal-grilled and smoked flavors, right? And tofu is an ingredient that is more easily tainted with odors. How do you prevent it from being tainted with these odors?" Fubuki asked seriously, because she really wanted to know how this was done. These were all problems she had encountered in her own cooking.

"Huh?" Liu Maoxing was stunned for a moment. He felt that what the other party said was right. Charcoal grilling and smoking would indeed encounter such problems, but... he didn't seem to have thought of this at all.

Originally, this unexpected problem should not have existed, but now that Fubuki suddenly asked about it, this problem seemed to exist.

Liu Maoxing had no idea how to answer this sudden question.

"It's magic." Linton, who was standing next to him, said quickly when he saw that there seemed to be a bug.
