A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

  Chapter 42 People depend on food!

   Bean curd made with meat?

  The surrounding audience were stunned when they heard the boy's exclamation.

   Can you still make bean curd with meat?

  The girl couldn't believe it when she heard the words, so she quickly scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

"oh!"

  She covered her mouth in surprise.

   After entering the mouth, the smooth and tender bean curd melted on the tip of her tongue like cotton candy.

  The rich and fresh aroma of the broth exploded in her mouth like a bomb. She subconsciously closed her mouth and breathed through her nostrils.

  But she felt that the breath she exhaled was full of the aroma of broth.

   Swallowing it in one bite, she was amazed: "It smells so good! It's really bean curd made of meat!"

  Hearing that she also said that this is bean curd made of chicken, everyone around was shocked!

   "Can you make bean curd with meat?"

   "I can understand using meat to make beef noodles, and using meat to make bean curds? How is this done?"

   "Is there any high-tech added?"

   "emmm...It should be delicious..."

  After hearing the boy and girl's exclamation, Gao Wenlin seemed to have thought of something, stepped forward to look at the bean curd in the soup bucket, but became a little puzzled.

   "Well, boss, I'll have one too."

  He took out his mobile phone and scanned Li Yi's money.

   Received customers when there were any customers. Li Yisheng took a bowl and handed it to him.

   After taking the meat bean curd, Gao Wenlin gently touched the bean curd in the bowl with a spoon, which was as white as jade, floating lightly on the broth, like clouds, and lowered his head to sniff.

  Following, he scooped up a piece with a spoon, held it in front of his eyes, looked around carefully, and then put it in his mouth.

  When the bean curd was in the mouth, he didn't yell, but closed his eyes, savoring the taste carefully.

   After a while, he let out a sigh of relief and said with certainty: "It really is chickpeas."

  A fan next to him heard his words and asked in confusion: "Chicken Douhua? Isn't it Nuttouhua?"

  Gao Wenlin himself didn't dare to confirm it, so he asked Li Yi: "Boss, is this the chickpeas flower in the top ten classic dishes of Sichuan cuisine?"

  Li Yi didn't deny it when he heard this, but he still explained: "The meat bean curd is the general name of this dish, which means bean curd made with meat.

  As for the kind of meat bean curd I made today, it is indeed made of chicken, and it is no problem to call it chick bean curd.

  But it can be made with other meat, so I call it meat bean curd. "

   "Understood, thank you very much."

  Gao Wenlin clasped his hands together to express his thanks, but he couldn't stop admiring: "I'm so lucky to be able to eat this famous dish, Sansheng is lucky!"

  At this time, a girl next to her couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Gao, I'm from Sichuan Province. Why didn't I know that there is meat bean curd in Sichuan Province's classic dishes?"

   “It used to exist, but it was lost decades ago.”

  Gao Wenlin explained to her: "Go back and look up a book called "Chengdu General View", which contains records.

  Chicken bean curd is a housekeeping dish of Sichuan chefs in Dazhou, Sichuan Province more than a hundred years ago. It is very delicate.

  It pays attention to eating chicken without seeing chicken, eating meat without seeing meat, and making meat ingredients into the shape of vegetarian dishes, which is the so-called meat-based vegetarian. "

   "That's it!"

  The girl was ignorant and didn't understand.

   "Boss, can I take a picture?"

  Gao Wenlin asked Li Yi politely.

  Li Yi nodded, without refusing, Gao Wenlin motioned for the cameraman behind him to come up to the soup bucket, and took a close-up of the meat tofu inside.

Gao Wenlin looked at the cameraman taking close-ups, and explained to the camera: "The so-called chickpea flower, according to the records in "Chengdu General View", is to beat the sprouts in the chicken breast into a fine meat paste with the back of a knife. It is then cooked slowly in broth at low temperature into a bean curd-like dish.

  Sprout is a piece of meat on the chicken breast that connects the wings, that is, the tenderloin.

  Chicken tenderloin is the tenderest meat on the whole chicken, commonly known as chicken sprouts.

  Chicken sprouts are very rare, and a chicken can only produce about two taels, which are usually used to make velvet. "

   As he said that, he asked Li Yi, "Boss, how much chicken sprouts did you use in this bucket of meat tofu?"

   "More than two hundred!"

  Li Yi explained casually.

  Anyway, he bought all the chicken sprouts available in the vegetable market.

   "Tsk tsk! Pay attention!"

  Gao Wenlin gave Li Yi a thumbs up and praised him.

  There are more than 200 chickens, and only the tenderest chicken sprouts are used to make chickpeas. Not to mention the cost, the trouble alone has stumped many people.

  Gao Wenlin took another sip of chickpea curd, savored it for a while, and then asked curiously: "Boss, to tell you the truth, I have tried to reproduce this dish myself, but failed several times.

  I can’t pass the level of pureed meat alone. How did you chop the pureed meat so finely? "

   "Use the back of the knife, chop slowly, and pick out the fascia while knocking, until it's fine enough." Li Yi explained casually while rinsing the wooden spoon.

   "How thin?"

  Gao Wenlin was puzzled.

  Li Yi thought for a while: "It's almost as good as sesame paste or peanut butter."

   "..."

  Gao Wenlin was dumbfounded.

   Not only was he dumbfounded, but the audience in the live broadcast room also complained in unison.

   "Tahini? Anchor, do you want to hear what you are saying?"

   "That's meat! Chop it into sesame paste so evenly? You can just grind it with a millstone!"

   "Chop like peanut butter? Oh my god! How long does that take?"

   "Are you kidding? Is this an operation that humans can do?"

  Gao Wenlin was stunned for a moment, and then asked in admiration, "How long will it take you to chop a portion of minced meat?"

  Li Yi patted the soup bucket: "I chopped this bucket for three hours."

   "Hiss!"

  Gao Wenlin took a deep breath: "Three hours? When I re-enacted, I only chopped one copy for half an hour. No wonder the re-enactment was unsuccessful!"

"Three hours?"

  The audience around them clicked their tongues.

   "I find it troublesome to chop dumpling stuffing, but it takes three hours to chop this meat tofu?"

   "The boss chops for three hours, but you may not be able to do it for three hours, maybe six hours."

   "Good boy! Then this bowl of meat bean curd costs a few hundred yuan, which is really not expensive! This is a laborious job."

   "It's too troublesome. I would rather eat boiled chicken breast directly. Is it meaningful to spend so much effort just to make a bowl of meat bean curd that is the same as bean curd? No wonder this dish will be lost."

  Hearing the questioning voices from the crowd, Gao Wenlin couldn't help but look back, and retorted: "It's the essence of Chinese food culture, so why is it meaningless?"

  The person who questioned was a middle-aged woman, she saw Gao Wenlin turning around to refute, she was a little embarrassed for a while, but she still kept her mouth shut: "I mean, this kind of troublesome dish is out of date.

  People nowadays are busy earning money every day, who has the time to make a bowl of meat tofu that takes three hours to chop?

   During that time, the restaurant has turned over several rounds.

   And it’s so expensive! More than 600 bowls, more than 600 can drink ordinary bean curd for a month! "

Seeing that she was still fighting, Gao Wenlin turned around and explained to him: "Everyone has different needs for food. Some people eat only to fill their stomachs. It is enough to eat enough. The amount is large and affordable. It is best to have a heavier taste. Very satisfied.

  But some people are willing to spend time and effort to appreciate the beauty of the delicate taste in food.

   Take this bowl of meat bean curd as an example. Although it also uses broth, its main ingredient is the most common chicken.

  The most common chicken can be made into this form, the taste is so tender and the taste is so delicious, isn't this turning decay into magic?

   This is the essence accumulated over thousands of years of Chinese food culture, and it is also the most beautiful art.

  Because it confirms an old saying, people depend on food! "

  His last sentence was spoken so loudly that it immediately aroused applause from all around.

   "Food is the most important thing for the people! You are so right!"

   "It's really like this. The most amazing thing is to make the simplest ingredients into new ideas and make them into the most delicious taste!"

   "Old Gao Niubi! Boss Niubi!"

  Listening to the applause around her, the middle-aged woman blushed, muttered something, then turned and left in a hurry.

  The audience, who were aroused by Lao Gao's words, had already gathered in front of Li Yi's booth, and took out their mobile phones to scan the codes.

   "Boss! I want a bowl!"

   "Give me one!"

   "Don't squeeze! Step on my foot!"

  In an instant, the scene was in full swing.
