Chapter 1851 Knife Skills Are Almost Magic

"Wensi Tofu, oh? Finally someone ordered this dish." Yuanzhou couldn't help but sigh when he heard Su Ruoyan reported the name of the dish.

Ever since Yuan Zhou mastered the complete Huaiyang cuisine, he has been waiting for someone to order this dish. He never expected that a group of foreigners would order it in the end.

Wensi tofu is a traditional Huaiyang famous dish. It was created by monk Wensi from Yangzhou during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Nowadays, many people introduce this dish. In order to highlight the knife skills, they will erase this history. They say that the reason why it is called Wensi is because the tofu shreds gush out like a spring of Wensi, which is very vivid and so on.

But in fact, it’s not that complicated. Wensi is a person’s name, which is clearly recorded in history. Yu Yue of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Tea Xiangshi Congchao": "Wensi, also known as Xifu, is good at making sweet tofu soup. Pulp porridge. Those who follow his method to this day are called Wensi tofu."

Monk Wensi not only likes to dance and write, but also likes to study food. This Wensi Tofu is the masterpiece of his knife skills that he has studied for many years.

The system once said that when the time is right, it will obtain the lost dishes of celebrities, but so far it has not been seen. Yuanzhou wondered if the system had forgotten about it?

Well, more than two years have passed since he received Su Cai, and Yuanzhou himself has forgotten about it.

"Is there really nothing wrong with Angelo's dish?" Molly asked with certainty, because when ordering, Angelo had saved the Chinese name of the dish on his phone.

"No problem, this dish is very good." In Angelo's opinion, Wensi Tofu is equivalent to cutting pudding into shreds.

After reading the adjectives at that time, Angelo's first reaction was that Chinese chefs really know how to joke, how could that be possible?

Luka and the others did not have such twists and turns in their hearts. Although they felt that even the money offensive was meaningless if Yuan Zhou did not agree to the carving, they gave up their thoughts and planned to have a good meal.

Although they didn't know much about Yuan Zhou before coming, they still read the news about Yuan Zhou being invited to join the Celebrity Chefs Federation, so the goal of Luca and the others was steak.

So after Angelo, they all ordered steak according to their own habits. After all, they had just flipped through the menu and found that even if they were used to eating steak, they had learned a lot today. It turns out that there can be so many types and variations of steak.

"Chairman of the Chinese Celebrity Chefs Federation, I think this menu alone will kill many chefs in our country instantly."

"There are hundreds of types of steaks, even a dedicated steak master can't do it."

"Anyway, it's so complete. This is the first time I've seen it."

Luca and the others whispered, their anticipation reaching its peak.

Yuan Zhou didn't pay special attention to Luca and the others. For him, the afternoon's events were over. Although he rejected tens of millions, did Boss Yuan care about money?

Do you care?

Of course... I care.

But cooking skills are still important.

After Angelo finished ordering, the other diners also finished ordering. After receiving the menu from Su Ruoyan, Yuanzhou began to cook them one by one in order.

In the vast Chinese food civilization, most cuisines are divided into northern and southern cuisines, and tofu is no exception. There are northern and southern tofu. There is no difference between sweet and salty. The main difference lies in the different ingredients used to order tofu.

Nan tofu is made with gypsum. The solidified tofu has a delicate texture due to its high moisture content, with the moisture content being around 90%.

Northern tofu is mostly made with brine or physalis. The solidified tofu has less water content and is older in texture than southern tofu, with a moisture content of about 85%.

To sum up, northern tofu contains less water, so the tofu flavor is stronger and easier to cook soups, while southern tofu is suitable for mapo tofu.

Due to the production method, Wensi Tofu uses northern tofu cooked with salt brine.

As a man who masters five cuisines, Yuanzhou will make some frequently used ingredients that can be prepared in advance, and tofu happens to be one of them.

Fortunately, the God of Cooking system also has a name: Kitchen Black Technology System...

Yuanzhou took out a piece of tofu from a bucket on the kitchen floor.

Because it is dotted with salt brine, it is not as white as jade as dotted with gypsum. Instead, it is slightly yellow, and there are a few tiny pores on the cut surface, which are the signs of old tofu.

Since they were just behind Wu Hai and Zhou Xi, everyone was sitting along Wu Hai and Zhou Xi. They probably wanted to be closer to Wu Hai even if they couldn't talk to him. 'Talent'?

Therefore, several people could see Yuan Zhou's movements very clearly.

"This doesn't look very tasty?" Luka said purely based on appearance.

"You can see there are holes. I think there must be no problem with the ingredients on Chef Yuan's side. It must be like this from the beginning." Mo Li also has a good eye.

Alma also felt that his appearance was not good, but after thinking about it, he remembered an old saying in China, which probably meant that you can't tell the appearance of a powerful person.

For example, roasted gluten didn't look that delicious, but Alma loved it because she had eaten it once by accident.

So Alma said: "I think I can give it a try then."

"You don't understand Chinese cuisine, why do you act like you know it?" Molly protested to Alma in a low voice.

"We'll find out later." Angelo ended the discussion.

External discussions have never affected Yuan Zhou's performance.

When Yuan Zhou picked up the tofu, he did not use a kitchen knife to cut off the old skin, but a bean pole knife, a special kind of knife.

Angelo looked straight at it. This knife looked like a toy. It was normal. Not only had foreigners never seen this knife before, but only Yuan Zhou could use it in China.

Furthermore, only Yuanzhou's knife skills can make Wensi tofu with a bean pole knife.

I saw Yuan Zhou dragging the tofu with his left hand. If you look carefully, you will see that he did not touch the side surface with his hand. His hand was slightly dimple. Only the front of his palm and a small part of his fingers were in contact with the skin below the tofu. And this layer of skin also needs to be peeled off.

This is to prevent the tofu from being stained with human smell and to ensure the original taste of the tofu to the greatest extent.

"Shua"

I saw a light yellow shadow flashing before my eyes, and there was an extra piece of tofu on the dark brown plate next to me. The slightly yellowish part on the surface was peeled off, revealing the white and tender part that had not been exposed to the air. It looked in good condition, much better than the one just now. Much better looking.

Before Angelo could recover from the change in appearance of the ingredients, what happened next made Angelo and the others feel that they had just watched a magic feast rather than a chef cooking.

I saw the bean pole knife in Yuan Zhou's hand flying. After a minute, he stopped. At this time, the water in the pot was boiling, and the timing was perfect.

Yuan Zhou picked up the seemingly unchanged brown plate and tilted it slightly. The whole piece of tofu slid into the pot. When hit by the boiling water, the tofu changed. It began to separate bit by bit, gradually spread out, and finally dispersed. Make a pot of shredded tofu.

"Um??"
