"Sister, choose quickly!" Just as Wen Rou was distracted, Wen Ting's voice pulled her back to the ring again.
"Quickly choose! Quickly choose!" The crowd yelled in unison at the moment.
Facing a knife expert like Liu Yidao, everyone wanted to know what dish this little girl would choose as the main ingredient.
At this time, the gentle, white and tender hand slowly lifted up, and the slender fingers drew a circle among the many ingredients, and finally landed firmly on a piece of snow-white and tender tofu.
"Tofu!" Everyone present exclaimed.
This girl actually chose tofu!
Ordinary tofu that can be found everywhere!
This girl actually chose tofu!
Soft and tender tofu that can hardly be picked up!
Not only Mr. Songtao was taken aback, but even Liu Yidao was taken aback.
However, in an instant, a contemptuous smile filled Liu Yidao's face.
Wen Shouzheng was also taken aback at first, but soon his face blossomed with joy.
This girl is really considerate, this tofu is soft and smooth, needless to say cutting it, even if she wants to cook the whole piece intact, it is not an easy task. Using this kind of tofu as the main ingredient, even Liu Yidao, a master knife maker, must be looking forward to the tofu!
Thinking of this, Wen Shou couldn't help gloating at Liu Yidao.
However, seeing Liu Yidao's face remained unchanged, it seemed that there was still some complacency in his eyes.
Hey! I still don't believe it, you can also cut flowers out of this tofu? Wen Shouzheng muttered to himself.
Cai Mi was hidden among the crowd, seeing Ruan Rou choose a piece of tofu from a distance, and couldn't help squinting her eyes.
This girl finally learned from me in vain, she has brains, now there is a good show to watch!
Cai Mi leaned against a corner of the front hall of Zuixian Tower with great interest, and wanted to watch quietly, but there were so many people, and he was not as tall as Sheng Yaoshan, so he searched around. Finally, I found a stool, stepped on it, and could see clearly from a distance.
"Okay! Since girl Rou chose tofu, let's use tofu as the main ingredient. Make a tofu dish. The competition will last for an hour, and the winner will be determined by one dish!" After seeing Rurou's careful selection, Master Qiao decided on tofu. , presumably this girl must know it well, and couldn't help declaring loudly.
The hearts of everyone in Zuixianlou were in suspense, even Sheng Yaoshan couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly.
The onlookers were all very interested in the tofu the girl chose, and Liu Yidao's knife skills. Hey, it's really interesting!
"Cang!" As the pillars beat the gong, the game began.
I saw Liu Yidao unhurriedly shoveling up the tofu with a piece of reed leaf, holding up the reed leaf containing tofu with his left hand, and with a slight twitch with his right hand, the reed leaf containing tofu was pulled away with a swish. come out. The smooth and tender tofu is still in the hand, not damaged or deformed at all, but not even a scum is broken.
"Wow!" All the people present exclaimed in unison.
This brisk and skilful skill is truly something that Liu Yidao can do!
At this moment, Liu Yidao was not affected by the crowd's exclamation, and naturally touched his waist with his right hand. The handle was pulled out of the leather case, and the black iron kitchen knife immediately emitted a dazzling light.
All the people present all made a covering movement.
When he put down his hand again, he saw that Liu Yidao was holding an old knife handle in his hand, and the other end of the handle. The silver light is shining, and the wind is blowing, and the true appearance of the black iron kitchen knife is just like this in the envy of everyone.
The second exclamation did not come out, just now it was a complete piece of tofu, but now it has been divided into several small pieces that are square. With Liu Yidao shaking his hand lightly. Each piece of tofu, the size of a fingernail, rolled steadily from Liu Yidao's hand into a clean black porcelain plate next to it.
The black bottom of the plate, the white tofu, black and white are distinct, and the pearl-like tofu cubes stand quietly on the plate.
This cutting is too fast, isn't it, with just such a horizontal and vertical stroke, the whole piece of tofu is cut open? !
The sweat on Wen Shouzheng's forehead came off with a splash.
Immediately after, his gaze moved from Liu Yidao's plate to Wen Rou's side, his heart beating drums, Rou'er, you must cut it well!
However, Wen Shouzheng has also taught gentlemen the skills of cutting tofu, but most of them are common cutting methods, nothing more than cutting into pieces, slicing, making some stir-fried tofu, roasted tofu, Pingqiao tofu soup, etc. Are you going to use these to challenge Liu Yidao's tiny cubes of tofu
Wen Shouzheng is nervous, this is the first group arena match!
One dish decides the outcome!
Wenrou didn't get up to go to the food area to get tofu, but first set up a pot to boil water, and then unhurriedly selected the most common crucian carp from the food, handled it quickly, and fried it in oil on both sides , then throw it into the pot and cook, and add ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, and it takes a while to finish tossing the fish.
"Is this for fish stewed tofu?"
"It's too simple! I can cook such a homely dish!"
"Tsk tsk, you guys are so serious, that girl is so old, it's very rare to be able to make stewed fish and tofu, you still expect her to have knife skills like Liu Yidao!"
For a while, there was everything in Zuixian Tower.
Liu Yidao's eyes glanced at Gentleness slightly, and saw that for a long time, the girl opposite had no intention of making tofu at all, but was just playing with crucian carp blindly, Liu Yidao smiled, and casually said: "Girl, be careful when cooking fish." ! Also, don’t break the gall.”
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me!" Rourou raised her delicate face, and smiled sweetly, without the slightest hint of annoyance.
At this moment, Liu Yidao continued to make his tofu.
A small piece of good pork belly was taken from the ingredients area, and the fat and thin were separated with a light stroke of the black iron kitchen knife.
"Crack, crack!" The fat meat was chopped into puree.
"Papa papa!" The lean meat was chopped into minced meat.
"Shua, Shua, Shua!" Smear the fat meat, spread it on the lean meat, and then gently roll the white fat meat paste, using the strength of a knife, to melt into the lean meat foam.
Finally, put the mixed meat into minced ginger, minced green onion, cooking wine, salt, etc., grasp it and the meat evenly with your hands, and then use chopsticks to stir vigorously for sizing.
A bowl of colorful meat paste is ready.
"What is this meat for?" The crowd began to speculate.
Immediately, Liu Yidao made a movement that puzzled everyone.
He rolled the kraft paper used to wrap dim sum into a cone, held it in his hand, and used a small spoon to briskly take out the meat slurry in the bowl, and filled it firmly into the cone made of kraft paper.
After filling everything, tighten the meat pulp in the kraft paper again.
At this moment, with the kraft paper roll in hand, Liu Yidao skillfully set the pan and poured oil with one hand. When the green smoke in the pot was slowly rising, he took the cut tofu pieces from the black porcelain plate one by one, holding a small piece of tofu in his left hand. Holding the kraft paper roll with the right hand, the tapered tip pierces the tofu block quickly, squeezes it slightly, and then easily throws the tofu block into the pot; then takes another tofu block, and stabs it with the kraft paper cone Put it in, squeeze it with a little force, throw it into the pot again, and repeat it faithfully. The movement is quick, coherent, and familiar. It's dizzying.
Before everyone could understand, Liu Yidao's pot was filled with aromas. Just now, the tofu was white and soft, but now it was golden in the oil temperature. It changed from soft and tender to a bouncy tofu block.
With Liu Yidao's action of sprinkling thin salt to the end, a plate of golden fried tofu is out of the pan!
If it is said that Liu's actions of cutting tofu across the board and frying tofu made people applaud, but the last action of filling tofu really made people dumbfounded.
The small golden tofu cubes fried in the pot are not laid flat on the plate like ordinary dishes, but stacked one on top of the other like bricks.
Wait until the last piece of tofu is served. Everyone present did not dare to take a breath!
Because the plate of tofu in front of everyone is like a towering golden needle, thin and long, shining golden, no matter from any angle, it looks like a square tofu block. They are all straight and straight.
It seems that this is not cut out of a piece of tofu, but a whole!
The slender tofu tower stood in the front hall of Zuixianlou, and everyone dared not breathe, for fear that if one breath was too heavy, the tofu tower would collapse.
It really is a master of knife skills——Liu Yidao.
Everyone's eyes focused on Liu Yidao's exquisite tofu tower.
Suddenly. Someone remembered the tenderness on the side.
I don't know if the girl's fish soup is ready. Compared with Liu Yidao's tofu tower, the common dish of stewed fish and tofu is simply heaven and earth. Because tofu for stewed fish is nothing more than cutting everything and stewing it together, nothing more than shape, size, and thickness.
However, when everyone's gaze shifted contemptuously from the tofu tower to Wenrou, everyone was stunned, even Liu Yidao couldn't help opening his mouth wide.
Seeing that the gentle pot of fish soup was now milky white, she scooped up all the fish and ginger slices with a bamboo strainer, and carefully sieved the milky white fish soup with fine gauze. Transfer to the casserole, still simmering with low heat.
At this time, Wen Rou was concentrating on a large basin of clear water.
Both hands were soaked in water, as if they were operating something.
When everyone took a closer look, they couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that two gentle hands were playing with a piece of tofu in the water.
The color of the water is getting muddy, and the shape of the tofu can't be seen clearly, only the gentle hands are moving.
"Girl, don't play around, Chef Liu has already done it!" someone mockingly urged.
"Girl, it's almost enough. As long as this fish stewed tofu is cooked, it's still delicious!"
"Girl, the tofu is tender, if you don't know how to cut it, just throw it all into the pot and cook!"
Even Wen Shouzheng became anxious, "Rou'er, what are you doing?"
"Miss Wen, don't worry, take your time." Although Sheng Yaoshan was extremely nervous in his heart, he still gave gentle encouragement from the side.
Only Cai Mi still squinted his eyes, stood on the stool, watched from afar, and nodded with a smile.
