Chapter 73

The third dish was also served at this time, Guan Xing was overjoyed when he saw it, and glanced at Lin Yize: "This dish... looks familiar..."

"Really?" Lin Yize reached out and knocked on the table: "Then Uncle Guan, tell me, what is the origin of this dish?"

At this time, Fengzi put a dark green square plate on the table, Guan Xing moved over, slowly turned the plate, and observed it carefully.

I saw 24 squares of bright red ham neatly placed on the plate, and in the middle of each ham square was a snow-white tofu ball. The tofu was so tender that it seemed to tremble when placed on the table. Decorate with fresh mint leaves, red and green, very beautiful.

"If I'm not wrong, this dish is from Mr. Jin Yong's book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes!" "" Guan Xing smiled mysteriously. He took a sip of tea, took another look at Lin Yize, and said confidently, "The name is 24 Bridges of Moonlight Night. Back then, in order for Hong Qigong to accept Guo Jing as a disciple, Huang Rong used Food tempts him, and this dish is one of them, right?"

Lin Yize nodded, and said with a smile: "I thought the previous look was too ugly, so I specially improved it, but I didn't expect Uncle Guan to recognize it at a glance!"

Guan Xing also laughed, Fengzi put a piece on Guan Xing's plate, Guan Xing looked left and right with great interest, and sighed: "I ate this dish once in Huainan a few years ago. Bottom, dig a hole on the top and steam the tofu balls, the fat and flavor of the ham are melted into the tofu, the tofu tastes great, but the ham is useless, I also specially sandwiched a piece of ham to taste, the meat quality is much worse , so little firewood, it’s almost impossible to swallow.”

As he spoke, he took a spoon to fill up the snow-white tofu ball, took a bite, and kept nodding his head: "Well, the taste is much better than the one I ate before, the taste of tofu and ham are really blended just right , the fire is just right, smooth and delicious, not too old and not tender, the taste of ham is very strong... not bad..." He turned his head and praised: "Every dish you have here surprises me!!"

Lin Yize also picked up a piece, tasted it, and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows: "This is the first time I've eaten this dish, I didn't expect it to taste so good!" As he spoke, he took the ham filled with tofu He picked it up and tasted it in his mouth: "This ham is also good, you can try this ham..."

Guan Xing glanced at him: "Isn't this dish all about tofu? All the flavors are gathered in the tofu, and the ham is usually discarded..." That's what he said, but he still He picked up a piece of ham and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, then raised his head and looked at Lin Yize, his eyes widened in surprise: "This ham tastes great! It's not firewood at all! It also has a bit of sweetness, logically speaking The tofu should have absorbed all the fat from the ham, this...how is this done?"

Lin Yize wiped his mouth gracefully: "This ham is the best two-headed black ham in Jinhua. The traditional craftsmanship of the Wu family in Jinhua, the taste is naturally good! As for why not firewood..." Lin Yize paused when he said this , a mysterious smile appeared on his face, as if to whet his appetite.

Guan Xing really looked over curiously, and looked at him anxiously.

Lin Yize smiled, slightly proud: "The reason is very simple, this ham recipe was not cut into 24 pieces, but 48 pieces..."

After saying this, Guan Xing immediately understood, his eyebrows stretched, and he smiled clearly.

Lin Yize went on to say: "For the best Jinhua ham, choose the best part, cut into 48 cubes of equal size, dig a hole in the middle of 24, put tofu balls in, cook in a pot, and the other 24 cubes , add honey, osmanthus, salt and various seasonings and marinate for 2 hours, then cook the same to mature, but the time is much shorter, cook both, put the tofu balls in the ham square cooked separately The 24 pieces of tofu are naturally meaty and tight, so they can't be served on the table, so they can only be taken home at night to make fried rice or something to eat..."

While listening to him, Guan Xing took another piece: "Not bad, not bad, share and cook, each can keep his own taste, good way, good way..." He reached out and nodded Lin Yize's head, smiling Said: "You still have too many ideas!!"

The two of them were chatting and laughing while eating, and just as they were talking, the fourth dish was served.

The tofu served this time was still raw. There was a round grate on which 16 pieces of white and tender tofu cubes two fingers wide and square were placed in a circle and arranged in a pattern.

Guan Xing was wondering when he saw another person following Fengzi, aged 24,5 or [-], wearing a snow-white chef uniform, he looked good, but I don't know if he was too nervous, he kept pursing his mouth and frowning, When he saw them, he nodded nervously, and then nodded to Fengzi again.

Fengzi hurriedly motioned to the kitchen assistant behind to put a copper pot on the table, and then put the grate containing tofu on it, and the other two kitchen assistants brought over a utensil like a copper hot pot, put it aside, and then lit it on the bottom. fire.

The pot should be full of hot oil, and it boiled quickly. When the hot oil boiled to white smoke, the young man brought a copper spoon, scooped a full spoonful of hot oil, and quickly , Pricked and poured on the tofu.

Although Guan Xing had been prepared for a long time, he was still taken aback. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the tofu again. The tofu was like a chrysanthemum, unfolding layer upon layer, and curled up towards the center under the action of the boiling oil.

It turned out that each piece of tofu had been cut horizontally for hundreds of knives, and each piece was only one millimeter thick. The tofu was scalded with hot oil until it was golden brown. Looking around, it looks like a beautiful chrysanthemum.

The helper at the back brought another bowl, and the young man picked up the spoon again, filled some yellow-brown sauce, waved his hand beautifully, poured the sauce evenly on the tofu, and carefully moved the copper pot forward Pushed it, and said in a low voice: "Tofu with oil, please use it slowly." His voice was a little tense, and after saying this, he stepped back, pursed his mouth, stood a little nervously, with his eyes downcast, But he secretly glanced at Lin Yize.

The tofu made a sizzling sound and exuded a burst of aroma, but Lin Yize's attention was no longer on the dishes at this time, he also turned his head to look at the little chef, pursing his lips and smiling approvingly.

Guan Xing looked at this young man, very curious, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Lin Yize: "Yize, who is this?"

Lin Yize laughed, waved his hands, and said softly: "Qingshan, come here..."

He Qingshan hesitated a little, not daring to go forward, Lin Yize stretched out his hand to him, He Qingshan hesitated again, and moved over slowly.

Lin Yize pulled him to his side, touched his waist upstairs very intimately, looked up at his face, He Qingshan's face turned red all of a sudden, he secretly pinched his hand, and struggled slightly.

Lin Yize hugged him even tighter, and even patted his buttocks, turned his head and said to Guan Xing with a smile: "Uncle Guan must know, I fell out with my father because of a little cook..."
