A mouthful of fried rice at a sky-high price, Old Tang apprenticed on the spot

Chapter 93 This fish is so tender!

"Come on, son, try it."

The middle-aged man who was a diner greeted his son, picked up the spoon and looked at the plate.

But looking at the golden fish floating in the thick clear soup on the plate, he was not willing to do it.

"This dish is so beautiful!"

The son of a high school student looked at the tofu fish on the plate and couldn't help admiring it.

There are blue patterns of lotus flowers and lotus leaves on the edge of the deep plate, and there are fishes swimming in it.

But the bottom of the deep plate is pure white, making the tofu red scale fish floating in the transparent soup seem like it is really in a pool of water.

The green onions above are like fallen leaves falling into the pool water, and like duckweed growing out of the water.

And the tofu red scale fish with different shapes seems to jump out of the water, opening its mouth to eat fallen leaves and duckweed.

"Isn't this a vegetarian dish? How come there are fried fish?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Qin Lan stepped forward and explained: "This is carved out of tofu."

"Carved from tofu?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback, and looked carefully at the fish on the plate, only to find that the color of the fish was very uniform, unlike ordinary fried fish, which had a darker head, tail and back, and a whiter belly.

"Isn't this too similar?"

He was amazed: "Good craftsmanship!"

As he spoke, he dipped his spoon into the plate, and scooped up a spoonful of tofu red scale fish covered with gravy.

Seeing that he destroyed the integrity of the dish with his hands, the son on the side felt a little pity, but he followed him, scooped one up, and put it into his own bowl.

Looking at the browned tofu red scale fish in the bowl, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then scooped it up and put it into his mouth.

His teeth fell, and he felt his teeth touch a thin crust.

Although the crispy shell has been softened a lot by the gravy sauce, there is still a little bit of crispness in the innermost layer, just like the part that is poured by the sauce when the sauced rice crust is just served, it tastes good .

Sand~!

He could feel with his tongue that the tofu fish's dorsal fin, abdominal pectoral fin, anal fin, caudal fin and other thin parts had been fried to a crisp.

After the gorgon juice is hung, these parts absorb the water and become soft again, absorbing the soup.

After the entrance, these parts melted instantly, and the soup quickly melted on the tongue, and the umami taste permeated instantly!

"Eh?"

He looked down at the half-bitten tofu fish in surprise.

Taste told him that this was clearly a real fish!
It has the umami taste of fish, the texture of fried fish, and the shape of fried fish.

If he hadn't been told in advance that it was made of tofu, he would have thought it was a real fried fish!

But even if he knew that it was made of tofu, he would still have the illusion that he was eating fried fish when he ate it, which made him not used to it, but it was extremely novel.

"Wow!"

The son on the side also took a bite, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "This fish is so tender!"

Reminded by his son, the middle-aged man noticed that the taste of the fish was unbelievably tender.

After biting through the outer crispy shell, the teeth quickly cut open the fish's body.

Without any bones or fish bones hindering, the whole body of the fish is full of extremely tender and smooth meat.

No, it should be tofu.

The middle-aged man looked at the cross-section of the tofu fish after he bit it off, and couldn't help admiring: "This tofu feels as tender as Yuzi tofu."

Yuzi tofu is also called egg tofu. Although the name is tofu, there is no soybean in the raw material, only water, eggs, vegetable protein, edible salt and additives.

This kind of tofu is characterized by tenderness, even close to the tenderness of jelly.

But the middle-aged man was obviously amazed by the crispy outside and tender inside of the tofu fish, so he made such an analogy.

The southern tofu made by Li Yi is not as tender as Yuzi tofu, if it is so tender, it will be difficult to carve.

The reason why this middle-aged man has the illusion of eating Yuzi tofu is because he ate it in time, and the crispy shell on the outside of the tofu fish has not been completely softened, so it forms a sharp contrast with the tofu inside, making the tofu inside The tenderness is more prominent.

The middle-aged woman also picked up the spoon and tasted it, and immediately covered her mouth in amazement.

After swallowing the fish in her mouth, she asked curiously, "Why do I feel like I'm really eating fish? It's amazing!"

Qin Lan didn't know how to answer, so she turned her head and looked towards the corridor entrance for help.

Wu Lei and the others were standing there, drooling as they watched.

Seeing Qin Lan looking over, they quickly got out of their way and pushed Li Yi out.

"That's because the gravy in this dish is blended with vegetarian broth."

Li Yi explained: "The umami of this dish mainly comes from seafood such as kelp and kelp in the vegetable broth, so the soup will have a fishy and salty taste of seafood.

When making the gravy, I used pepper to adjust the fishy and salty in the broth, so that the freshness and sweetness were highlighted, so when I ate it, I felt as if I was eating real fish and shrimp, with seafood Fresh and sweet. "

"Good craftsmanship!"

The middle-aged man praised him: "I have eaten real dry fried red scale fish, but this dish you made is much better than the ones I have eaten! And it is made of tofu, beef, real beef!"

"As long as you eat to your satisfaction."

Li Yi smiled and said politely, then nodded and said: "You guys take your time, there is one last soup, it will be here soon."

After speaking, he turned and walked to the kitchen.

Stretching his neck, Wu Lei watched his high school student son scoop up a spoonful of tofu fish, eating it deliciously, and couldn't help swallowing.

Zhao Jinmai also licked the corner of his mouth, and then pulled him: "Let's go! Don't disturb others' dinner."

Wu Lei was still a little reluctant to part with him, but Zheng Jun who was at the side ran in small steps, followed Li Yi to the kitchen, and asked, "Hey? Chef Li, can you make me a bowl too? I'll pay for it." Can't you buy it?"

Wu Lei was shocked, turned around and chased after him: "Teacher Zheng Jun! Give me a bite! Just one bite!"

Seeing a group of them rushing to the kitchen, Qin Lan stood by the front hall, hesitant.

Seeing the family of three diners eating up all the tofu fish and Gorgon sauce on the plate one spoon after another, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

Gollum~!

There was a rumbling sound in her stomach.

She only ate one apple in the morning, and it was almost noon now, so she was a little hungry.

It seemed that she looked away from the kitchen outlet.

She didn't realize that when she glanced back, she was vaguely expecting more subconsciously.

"Serve!"

Li Yi's voice came from the dining outlet.

"coming!"

She responded, and quickly trotted two steps towards the dining outlet.

After running for two steps, she suddenly realized why she was so happy?
Obviously at the beginning, when she went to serve the food, she had to muster up her courage and hold her breath.

But now she actually started running on her own initiative.

Full of wonder, she came to the dining outlet, and then saw a small soup pot.

In the soup basin was a bowl of plain-looking... cabbage and tofu soup.
