Chapter 1897: The legendary tofu delicacyTranslator: 549690339

“Hello, aunt Tong.” Wu Hai also moved closer. His eyes and expression were totally like that of a Husky.
“Little shadow, have you learned how to wash your own clothes? have you been eating well?” When aunt Tong saw Wu Hai, she also felt very kind.
“I was busy with my painting and didn’t have time. Jiawei took care of it. He brings me washed clothes every week.” Wu Hai answered.
Compared to Zheng Jiawei, Zhou Xi was really lacking.
There were already three cold dishes on the table in the courtyard. They were all made of tofu-tofu with scallions, tofu with preserved egg, and cold tofu. The ingredients were all tofu, and they were all cold, but the flavors were different. The plate presentation was also very pleasing to the eye.
However, aunt Tong and Yin ya were busy chatting, which meant that most of Wu Hai’s eyes were fixed on the dishes.
Previously, aunt Tong had thought that it would be difficult for little Yuan to find a girlfriend given his character. She had even thought of introducing people to go on blind dates. However, she did not expect that he would find a girlfriend not long after. Moreover, she was a little beauty.
What was Yuan Zhou doing at that time?
He was making a dish, the auspicious sign of dragon and phoenix. To be precise, he was carving a dish.
Of course, the auspicious dragon and phoenix was not stewed with chicken and snake, which would not fit the tofu banquet. The auspicious dragon and phoenix was also a tofu banquet.
This dish was very famous and could be found in many TV series, especially Hong Kong TV series. However, Yuan Zhou had checked some historical materials and found that this dish didn’t really exist. Therefore, it was quite controversial.
One of the reasons was because of the carving technique. It was not difficult to carve a dragon and phoenix out of tofu, but it was a test of hand speed. The preservation of tofu had a time limit, especially when it was in the hand. The temperature of the palm was not low, and if the preservation was not good, it would affect the taste.
Some information said that there was such a dish in the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, but some information said there was no such dish. There were different opinions.
To put it arrogantly, even in the Jinling cuisine, a chef who focused on cutting skills was rare to find a chef who could complete the auspicious dragon Phoenix.
Yuan Zhou didn’t think it was that difficult to achieve the auspicious dragon and phoenix stage. After all, the collector’s level knife skills weren’t just for show.
Not only that, but Yuan Zhou also made it more difficult for himself. He had to use the bean stick knife to carve the tofu and he couldn’t touch the tofu with his hands to maintain the complete taste.
After increasing the difficulty by himself, even Yuan Zhou had a hard time. Therefore, he couldn’t be distracted at all. This was also the reason why Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything when boss Tong came in previously. It wasn’t that he was impolite, but he couldn’t give up halfway.
“Phew, it’s good that it’s done. It looks perfect.” Yuan Zhou put down the knife in his hand and looked at the dragon and phoenix in the big soup bowl. He was in a good mood.
Yuan Zhou directly soaked the tofu in the cool water and then carved it, which was equivalent to half-blind carving.
The cooking method of Yuan Zhou’s auspicious dragon-Phoenix dish had been referenced from the cooking method of West Lake vinegar fish. The Dragon had one taste while the Phoenix had another taste. They were clearly separated, yet they blended and complemented each other.
Soon, the main dish was completed. Yuan Zhou put it on a big light blue Plate and carried it out.
“This is so pretty.” Yin ya opened her small mouth and looked at the auspicious dragon and phoenix dish that Yuan Zhou carried over.
“It looks delicious.” Wu Hai said.
“Little Yuan’s cooking skills are getting better and better day by day.” Boss Tong also said.
“This is today’s main dish, auspicious dragon and phoenix. Aunt Tong, please wait a moment. There are a few more dishes and we will be able to eat soon.” Yuan Zhou went to the kitchen after he put down the dishes.
He hoped that aunt Tong could have a smooth journey in the future. Also, he knew that aunt Tong still wanted to go out to play after the new year. Therefore, Yuan Zhou prepared 18 dishes in total for the tofu banquet.
18 dishes for four people might sound like a lot, but it was different with Wu Hai around. He would tell you that even 18 dishes wouldn’t be enough for him.
“This dish is so beautiful. I have to take a photo to keep as a memento. Otherwise, I won’t bear to eat it later.” Boss Tong stared at the auspicious dragon and phoenix for a long time and said with a pained expression.
Indeed, the dragon and phoenix, which had great knife skills, looked especially beautiful. The two sauces blended by Yuan Zhou were basically light in color and transparent. Therefore, the scales and feathers on the dragon and phoenix were clearly visible. The most eye-catching part was The Eyes of the Dragon and phoenix. No one knew how Yuan Zhou had handled it, but it looked very lively and vivid.
“I’ll also take a photo and save it. ” When Yin ya saw Auntie Tong take out her phone and take a picture, she also couldn’t bear it.
Although Wu Hai didn’t understand their behavior, it didn’t stop him from drooling at the dishes. He was distributing how many mouthfuls the dragon and the phoenix would take in his heart. Of course, he had to wait until the two finished shooting.
After boss Tong took the video, she directly posted it on her WeChat moments with a note that it was little Yuan’s treat.
Mo Qian, who was standing guard outside, got boss Tong’s news at once. When she saw the splendid dishes on the menu, she said,”can this really be done with tofu? But I’m sure Tongtong will love to eat it. ”
Old man mo had seen a lot. As one of the world’s top designers, he had eaten countless delicacies. However, he was still shocked to see a Dragon and a Phoenix in front of him.
During the time when boss Tong and Yin ya took the photo, Yuan Zhou carried out the remaining dishes one after another, such as first-class tofu, fermented tofu, pan-collapsed tofu, and so on. All kinds of tofu dishes were served one after another.
Of course, the tofu pudding was also served. When boss Tong was about to leave Chengdu, Yuan Zhou invited her to eat the tofu pudding. Boss Tong liked it very much.
A large bowl was placed next to the auspicious dragon and phoenix. It was very eye-catching and made people’s appetites increase with one look.
“Little Yuan’s memory is really good.” When boss Tong saw the familiar tofu pudding, the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually widened.
“Before aunt Tong left, she said that she wanted to eat the tofu pudding I made. I’ll definitely remember it. Try it and see if it’s the taste you want to eat.” Yuan Zhou sat down only after he had served all the dishes.
At that time, Wu Hai sat up straight like an obedient baby. His eyes were fixed on boss Tong, waiting for her to start eating. Only after that would he start to eat.
“Little Yuan’s craftsmanship is something that I can’t forget even if I wanted to. It’s really good.” Boss Tong had a bit of reminiscence in her eyes.
“I’ve been practicing every day, trying to improve. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“That’s a good idea, but you still have to take care of your health. I’m getting naggy as I get older. Let’s stop talking and start eating.” While saying that, boss Tong raised her chopsticks. Her target was, of course, the tofu pudding.
The tofu pudding cooked by Yuan Zhou was very tender. Boss Tong felt that it was just a slight touch with the chopsticks before a small piece of tofu pudding fell off. She then dipped it in the sauce and put it into her mouth. The tender tofu pudding spread out on the tip of her tongue along with the taste of the chili oil and garlic. The flavor of the tofu, chili, and garlic blended together and the taste was very good.
“Little Yuan’s cooking skills are really good.” Boss Tong revealed a very comfortable smile on her face. Then, she picked up another piece with her chopsticks and even called Yuan Zhou and the others to eat together.
Wu Hai didn’t stand on ceremony. He directly picked up the chopsticks and served the dish. Yuan Zhou and Yin ya looked at each other and then also picked up the chopsticks and started eating. For a while, only the sound of chewing food could be heard.
There was another thing. Even old man mo and the others were shocked by the auspicious sign of a Dragon and a Phoenix. The ordinary people were even more shocked.
Therefore, before boss Tong knew it, her WeChat message had been reposted by many people.
