Chapter 81 Crab Roe Lion Head with Tofu and Gavins

Put eight cents of lard in the wok, add the cross-cut greens and stir-fry until they turn emerald green, then add some shrimp and salt, pour the pork soup, boil over high heat, and put the wok aside.

"Huaiyang cuisine is eaten with its original flavor. For a dish like this, the seasoning here is enough."

Su Chen took a clay pot and put it on the fire, smeared a layer of oil on the bottom of the clay pot with pig skin, and stir-fried the green cabbage heart into the clay pot.

Liu Shengnan looked at the two big meatballs and the small pot of soup, "This looks light, can it be delicious?"

Jingzhou people have a heavy taste, and they eat a lot of oil and salt. When they first saw this kind of soup with light meat, they naturally thought it was not very delicious.

Su Chen smiled and said, "What a pity, I should have made a few more meatballs for you to eat one."

Liu Shengnan pouted, thinking that I have made so many dishes but never seen you eat them for me.

Put the choy sum in the bottom of the casserole, put the two meatballs with crab roe on top, then pour the boiling pork soup into the casserole, and put the green leaves on the surface of the soup.

After the broth in the casserole boils again, turn down the heat to keep the soup inside in a slightly boiling state.

"Done!"

Su Chen clapped his hands and looked at the casserole on the stove with satisfaction, "This thing has to be stewed. There is still one o'clock before the customer comes. This time is almost up."

After all, there are only two meatballs in the pot. If you make more, you have to stew it for two hours.

"This thing requires a technique." Liu Abao watched Su Chen's whole process of making it, "The lion's head can't be too tight, and it can't be too loose. It tastes fishy and it's a complete failure. It's really not easy to make."

Tight means that it's too strong, so it tastes chewy.

Not to mention loose, it's a complete failure.

Su Chen nodded in agreement, "I don't know who it is, but he actually specifically asked for Huaiyang cuisine. This thing should not be touched if it can be avoided."

The first dish was hot, so the second dish had to start.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, "Why don't you go out first?"

This Wensi tofu is not difficult to make, it depends on the knife skills, but Su Chen's knife skills are too shocking, and he really doesn't want people to see it.

"How can that be!" Liu Abao was the first to disagree, "The production process of Wensi tofu is a top-level enjoyment. If I don't see it, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Liu Shengnan was also quite excited, "Yes, yes, boss, I haven't seen you use knife skills yet. I have seen the method of making Wensi tofu on the Internet. Can you really cut tofu thinner than a hair?"

"I don't dare to believe it either." Aunt Fang was even more interested.

If I really saw it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I would have to practice secretly when I go back home at night.

Seeing that everyone was determined not to leave and had to watch, Su Chen dug his toes into the ground and waved his hands awkwardly, "Everyone, step back."

Liu Abao: ???

We have to step back just to cut vegetables?

Although they were confused, the three of them still took a step back obediently.

"Keep backing up."

Liu Shengnan stepped back again, "Boss, what are you doing? If you step back again, you'll be out!"

Su Chen sneered, don't blame me if you don't step back now!

He picked a ceramic thin knife. If it was a kitchen knife, the speed would be too fast and the back of the knife would produce a "collision" effect when it passed through the tofu. Thin knives are much better.

Liu Abao was still standing only two meters away from Su Chen, staring at him with interest.

Su Chen followed the method in the practice room and trimmed all four corners of the tender tofu, leaving only a square block with neat corners.

He measured the middle position with his eyes, and under the effect of [Precision Strike], that position was firmly remembered in his mind.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling when I was stabbing darts in the big market that day.

Holding the thin knife in his hand, his mind moved.

Su Chen's entire center of gravity moved down, and he held the handle of the knife in his palm, a bit like holding a dagger, and his energy sank into his dantian.

"Ha!"

He shouted suddenly, and then swung his arm.

All this happened in a flash, and when Su Chen stood up again, the three people on the scene were directly stunned!

Liu Abao had already subconsciously retreated behind the door.

'No wonder Boss Su asked me to retreat, this is too scary, right? '

'But it's just cutting a piece of tofu, why is it so exaggerated? '

'Is it just to make the visual effect more impactful and want to show off? '

Liu Abao was really puzzled.

You just use the knife to stick to the tofu and slowly cut it in.

As a senior technician, Liu Abao believes that he can't cut tofu shreds thinner than a hair, but it's okay to cut it roughly, but if he really lets him cut it like this.

The knife might have gone somewhere!

Liu Shengnan was even more shocked.

The piece of tender tofu on the table still looked like a piece of tender tofu, without any change at all.

But Su Chen actually used his hand to gently divide it into two pieces, which means that the knife just now really cut it accurately?

Before the few people wanted to ask more questions, Su Chen half-squatted with one hand behind his back.

He took a deep breath with the thin knife in his right hand.

This is so fucking embarrassing!

Why is my knife skills different from others!

Bang bang bang bang bang!

With his hands up and down, accompanied by the sound of the knife and the chopping board colliding, Su Chen scooped up clean water with his left hand and sprinkled it on.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

He repeated the previous method again, chopping the tender tofu on the chopping board with only one hand!

Liu Shengnan watched in disbelief as the originally smooth and tender tofu gradually turned into a pile of dregs.

Is this the boss's knife skills?

This looks like a pile of scum!

If this is Wensi Tofu, then so can I!

Anyway, just hit the tofu with the kitchen knife and bang bang bang!

But when Su Chen put the pile of tofu residue into the bowl of water.

Liu Shengnan’s expression ranges from ( ̄_, ̄)

It became w(Д)w

What the hell!

It's obviously tofu dregs, why does it turn into something like this when it comes into contact with water?

The pile of scum is like a blooming flower, with filaments floating in the water. It’s so beautiful!

Su Chen didn't waste any time, and immediately chopped up the fungus, green cabbage leaves and carrots with his "embarrassing knife skills". They were also like hair and placed in the fence by Su Chen.

"It's amazing! It's amazing!"

Liu Shengnan: "Can you change your lines?"

Liu Abao clapped his hands, "There are no words in the world to describe this scene. Boss Su's knife skills are absolutely unique in the country!"

Su Chen snorted.

The form of wielding a sword may indeed be unique, but when it comes to sword skills, Su Chen knows that he is still far from it.

Although Wensi Tofu is indeed one of the top dishes in terms of knife skill difficulty, it is only for cutting, and Su Chen's [Precision Strike] fits perfectly with this knife skill.

If it was to do other sword skills that required the use of 'carving', then Su Chen wouldn't be able to do it.

To put it bluntly, it is still a bit tricky. I know how much I weigh.

Blanch the shredded cabbage in the grate and set aside.

Then he mixed a bowl of gravy with cornstarch, "To make this dish thicken, cornstarch is used. This kind of flour is translucent and bright when made."

Put the filtered chicken soup back into the pot. After the heat is raised over low heat, keep it from boiling. Pour a quarter of the gravy into the bowl and stir it continuously with a spoon.

"You have to thicken the soup many times. That's the difficulty of this dish."

Even Su Chen himself did this step carefully.

The thickened soup must achieve one effect: the tofu shreds and vegetable shreds must float in the middle of the soup.

If the hook is too clear, the silk will sink to the bottom. If the hook is too thick, the threads will stick together or be unable to sink when placed on the surface of the soup.

That would be ugly.

After pouring a bowl of gravy twice, the chicken soup in the pot looked unchanged, but Su Chen, who was in charge of the soup, knew in his heart that it was in place!

Immediately put the blanched vegetable shreds and the tofu shreds soaked in water into the pot.

During this process, the chicken soup didn’t even boil!

"Use the bottom of the spoon and swirl it in the pot like this! It must be at the bottom, otherwise it will get smashed."

The spherical bottom of the spoon is constantly rotating on the surface of the soup, and the soup juice carries the thin threads of ingredients inside and also rotates. The original lump of threads gradually begins to become organized!

It began to have circles of lines, white with red, red with black, and green embellishments. It looked so good!

After the silk inside had completely turned into strands, Su Chen pointed at Liu Shengnan and said, "Bring a transparent glass bowl."

This dish must be served in a transparent bowl, so you can clearly see what's going on inside through a layer of glass.

Every filament floats in the soup, separated from the bottom to the surface without disturbing each other.

Liu Shengnan and Aunt Fang looked at this Wensi Tofu, and their throats trembled unconsciously.

If you take a bite of this, you can even imagine that the hot soup will flow from your mouth through your esophagus and into your stomach, and your whole body will feel warm!

And those shredded tofu don't need to be chewed at all, just sip lightly and it will melt in your mouth immediately.

As for the few vegetable shreds, they will definitely emit their own unique aroma when chewed.

Oh my gosh!

I really want to eat it! Is there any!

Liu Shengnan counted on his fingers, "This portion of tender tofu only costs five yuan, but making a soup costs several hundred, tsk!"

Liu Abao smiled, "Don't you see how much effort Boss Su put into making this dish? Is that knife skill something that humans can master? And that pot of chicken soup, it can't be made without an afternoon of cooking." In total, two or three hundred is really not expensive.”

What's the most expensive these days?

Of course labor is the most expensive!

Moreover, it is a technique that few people can master. No amount of money is too much for this kind of thing. Those who know how to appreciate it will naturally spend the money, and those who don't understand will just feel that it is not worth it.

It can only be said that the customer groups are different.

"I won't eat it anyway," Aunt Fang said against her will, "unless someone treats me."

The four of them were chatting away in the kitchen, waiting for the guests to come for dinner.

On the other side, Zhang Yi finished his fried chicken and eggs and left the restaurant with satisfaction.

This is actually quite good. You have already paid your bill before coming here, and you can just leave immediately after eating.

When getting off the elevator, he met a couple walking in, and Zhang Yi didn't think much about it.

He just joined the group chat of the food team and was not familiar with the people in the group. Only Zhan Yang was his old classmate.

In the elevator.

"This place? Uh!"

Brother Fang Chang hugged his partner, "Although this place looks ugly, the food is delicious! I brought you here to eat because I believe in the boss's skills!"

The girl elbowed Brother Fang Chang and said, "Pull him down. My family owns a restaurant and I grew up eating Huaiyang cuisine. If you plan to receive my parents here, I think you will be embarrassed!"

Lai Ri Fangchang didn't speak, he just giggled.

He didn't know for sure, he only knew that the boss's fried chicken was delicious, but since he dared to do business under the banner of delicious customization, he must have good skills.

Besides, Brother Fang Chang didn't have this idea at first. During the live broadcast that day, he saw the masters of the state banquet giving praise to the boss, so he decided to give it a try.

In three days, his prospective mother-in-law and her family will come to Jingzhou to inspect his family situation.

Brother Fang Chang was quite fond of his father-in-law.

"Your father is also strange. I have seen people who are afraid that their daughters will be bullied and wronged. I have never seen people who are afraid that their daughters will not have enough food and drink!"

The girl pinched Brother Fang Chang's waist and turned it 360 degrees, "My dad thinks Jingzhou is a food desert, and I grew up eating food from my own restaurant. Isn't it normal for him to be worried? If you dare to speak ill of my father again, I will be angry!"

Brother Fang Chang endured the pain and smiled, "I won't say it anymore. I also attach great importance to this first official meeting. I've searched all over Jingzhou and still can't find a suitable place to receive your parents. I think this place is good, let’s try it first.”

The girl then let go and said, "Don't be nervous about the meeting. My parents are really nice. But it's about the bride price."

"Don't be stubborn with me. Just agree to how much he wants. I still have some savings, so you can use them first when the time comes."

Brother Fang Chang's nose felt sour, and he hugged his partner tightly, "It's okay, I will agree to whatever your father wants as a bride price. If I can marry you, everything else doesn't matter!"

The elevator became ambiguous for a moment.

If I remember correctly, Brother Fang Chang and his partner knew each other when they were in high school.

I met him online.

For countless nights, the two talked to each other through the Internet, and gradually fell in love. Later, after going to college, they began a four-year long-distance relationship.

After graduation, the girl could no longer endure the pain of lovesickness, so she left her hometown without hesitation and rushed to Brother Fang Chang's city, which was separated by 1,500 kilometers. In that era when high-speed rail was not yet developed, green cars required The journey took a full 29 hours!

[The Day is Long] I remember clearly that when he saw his girlfriend's face red from the cold at the station, his heart was crying at that moment. He endured being moved and secretly swore.

In this life, I will not marry you unless I am, and I will never let you down!

While talking and laughing, the elevator stopped at the 19th floor.

Jiang Yuan stretched out her head and took a look, "You're not going to the wrong place, are you? This is an office building company?"

Brother Fang Chang laughed, "It's the same reaction as when I first came here. Yes, it's right here. You'll know later."

Walking in with her girlfriend's stride, Jiang Yuan curiously looked left and right along the way, always feeling that she was in the wrong place.

"Sit inside or outside?" Su Chen leaned against the door of the cafeteria and greeted Brother Fang Chang with a smile.

He had the impression that this man was from the same group as the customer who bought buns in the morning.

"Where can I sit outside?" Jiang Yuan pointed to the workstations, very curious.

"Just sit wherever you want." Su Chen spread his hands.

When the rent is paid, I will have to buy some dining tables!

Brother Fang Chang turned around and said, "Let's go and sit inside. There is a small square table inside."

"Okay!"

The two entered the cafeteria. Jiang Yuan keenly observed the various A4 papers posted on the door and said in a low voice, "You are really cheated. Their tea eggs cost 5 yuan each!"

"What?" Brother Fang Chang took a step back, "Boss, do you still have the tea eggs?"

Su Chen was walking to the kitchen, "Yes. I cooked some tonight. Do you want some?"

"Okay, okay, give me two!"

I feel comfortable this time!

Brother Fang Chang laughed secretly in his heart. That bitch Zhan Yang has been showing off those tea eggs in the group all day!

We also took photos from multiple directions and angles to show them off!

One moment he said the tea was fragrant, the next moment it was sweet and delicious, and then he actually said he was about to take off!

‘I have to try it! ’

"You're stupid!" Jiang Yuan was a little dissatisfied.

Brother Fang Chang pulled her to sit down and said, "It's okay. We've already eaten the five hundred yuan meal. Are there still ten yuan left?"

"You are so bloated now!" Jiang Yuan said disdainfully, "Even if your business is good recently, you can't waste it like this, right? We can't finish the five hundred yuan dish."

"It doesn't matter! In the worst case, we can pack it up and take it home to eat."

Brother Fang Chang did not work after graduation and followed his family to engage in breeding. Later, he opened several boutique butcher shops of his own, which can be regarded as self-produced and sold.

Because the quality of the meat is reliable, his business is pretty good and he is quite famous in Jingzhou City. Many people even drive to his store to buy meat rolls when they eat hot pot or something.

The two of them sat down.

Su Chen returned to the kitchen, where the casserole sitting on the low fire was still steaming.

Open the lid of the casserole and carefully pick out the green cabbage leaves on top.

"Can't you eat the leaves of this vegetable?" Liu Shengnan asked curiously.

"It's edible, but it's used to absorb grease, so it won't be eaten by guests."

Looking again, just as Su Chen said, there is almost no oil splash on the top of the soup in the casserole. It is hard to imagine that this is the soup where the meatballs have been cooked for so long!

Put the lid back on the pot and turn the heat to maximum.

Because it has been simmered for an hour, the meatballs inside have been shaped, so there is no need to worry about them being dispersed by boiling water.

But it was only on for a moment, and then the fire was turned off directly.

"Liu Shengnan, please help me get a plate to cushion it. Aunt Fang, please serve the dishes."

"Okay!"

Aunt Fang put on heat-insulating gloves and held the casserole, and Liu Shengnan carried the plate and walked out together.

"I'll do this." Liu Abao also served the dishes with the Wensi tofu.

Unlike the employees of Delicious, Liu Abao is a person who has worked in a formal hotel.

Wensi tofu was placed on the table, and Abao said professionally: "Your meal has been served, do you need rice?"

Jiang Yuan, who was about to lift the lid of the pot, stopped her hand in the air and looked at Liu Abao with a very strange look.

As if saying: Are you kidding me?
