Chapter 2330 (1/2)
Most of the time, you can know the history and practice of Qin cuisine by looking at its name. The dish invented by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is directly called Ming emperor tofu, which is very nice.
Although it's OK to understand this, the real Ming emperor tofu has nothing to do with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It's a dish related to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
So sometimes it's not enough to just look at the surface.
”Is it handled like this?” Gan Zhong looked at the slightly green tofu brought up, in which the strands of green seemed to be wrapped in the tofu, like the filaments in the emerald, which was very beautiful.
In fact, the specific and authentic method of Ming emperor tofu has been lost, and what remains is at most a few words of some eaters, such as adjectives such as ”color as Emerald” and ”tender as cream”. Others are played by themselves.
Gan Zhong has studied it for several years and has no specific findings. Instead, he has made one. But how to soak tofu doesn't feel like there are green filaments in jadeite, and the aroma of tea won't last long. In addition, after soaking for a long time, the taste of tofu won't be so good, so this one in Bazhen sounds simple, but to tell the truth, it frustrates Gan Zhong.
however! After he saw the Ming emperor tofu made in Yuanzhou, his first feeling was that the Ming emperor tofu in ancient books had reappeared.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, especially during the Ming emperor of the Tang Dynasty, many people liked tea, while the Ming emperor liked tofu, so the imperial chef combined the two into one dish.
”The appearance is really restored. I don't know how chef Yuan made this. Is it adding tea water to soybean milk?” Wang Li is also curious.
”No, I've tried. It's green tofu and won't appear like this.” Gan Zhong knows his own way.
”We still have a lot of room to learn about Qin cuisine.” Yan Xiliang said.
Before they had met Yuanzhou, they always felt that as a master of Qin cuisine, they didn't dare to say all the Qin cuisine, just what they were good at was OK.
But since the dinner started, the idea has never come to me again. Look at the dishes made by Yuanzhou, and then look back on the dishes made by yourself. Well, the road is blocked and long.
On this point, there is a saying in the chef circle called ”state ceremony”, which is the baptism of Yuanzhou.
The rain has stopped and it's dawn. You think you can again. Heaven and earth, you think you are invincible. Come to accept the baptism of Yuanzhou and let you return to your apprenticeship.
”We are still young and can study again. Just work hard.” Miao Zhonghua affirmed.
He really thinks so. President Wang has always instilled that it is a good thing for a cook of any age to have a good body and can do whatever he wants. Miao Zhonghua feels no sense of contradiction when this theory is applied to learning to cook.
”I think this tofu is very delicious. It has both the aroma of tea and the unique smell of beans. Moreover, the cold taste highlights the fragrance of tea, making people feel as comfortable and natural as being on the beach in the hot summer.” While several people were studying tofu, huoting ate it directly.
Of course, he is not a person who eats alone. After eating, he must share the taste of this dish with his good friends. As for those who speak after eating half of it first, it's a small matter. Don't care.
Tofu tastes fast, and a cold smell lingers in his mouth. The final dish finally comes up. This is the dish ordered by Yan Xiliang.
”Chef yuan is too extravagant. It's too much. This wine, this wine...” Huo Ting suddenly stood up after changing his indifferent image. His face was red, which was obviously a sign of great excitement. He couldn't even speak clearly.
In addition to cooking and practicing calligraphy, Huo Ting's favorite is wine, especially Xifeng wine produced by Qin Province, which is his favorite. Just like the old man likes tea, he almost beat Yuanzhou when eating tea eggs for the first time. Now Huo Ting also wants to beat Yuanzhou.
Finally, when he was about to climb up the table, Miao Zhonghua clasped his shoulder and pulled him back with absolute strength.
Yan Xiliang, who came from the other end, breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to communicate with Yuanzhou this afternoon. He beat people at noon. Yan Xiliang felt that they all had to be cool.
