Chapter 1852 Slight Fluctuation

Because we were close, we could see clearly.

Because I can see clearly, I suspect that I am being dazzled.

"Did I get dazzled just now?" Molly resisted the urge to rub her eyes.

"It shouldn't be dazzling. I feel more like when editing a movie. There were several shots in between, and then what I saw was just two waves like this." Alma said this and gestured with Yuan Zhou just now. action.

No one answered Alma and Morley, because Angelo and Luca who were traveling with them were also stunned, even more so in terms of shock.

To put it bluntly, Morley and Alma are just people from the auction house, their knowledge base is only that, and their vision is just okay.

But Angelo and Luca, as independent curators and collectors, are much more knowledgeable, and they can go all the way from abroad to get engravings. Although they have the power of money, it is conceivable that they really like it. Sculpture.

Because they like it, they have a deep understanding of carving. They couldn't tell whether carving and knife skills have anything in common, but they knew very well how difficult Yuan Zhou's skill was just now.

Originally, in Angelo's imagination, or in the information he found, he should have cut the tofu into thin strips on the cutting board in a regular manner. Isn't this a routine operation?

Instead of using a kitchen knife, just use other weird knives. It's probably a master's quirk, but if you don't follow the rules and operate it directly with your hands, it's really bullying! It was nothing like what he found.

As for Luca, he is also very incredible. He doesn’t know what a cutting board is, but he knows how to cut the pudding-like tofu into thin strips on the plate in a very short time, or to be precise, in the span of his breath. .

Basically no one in the world can do this, but now he has seen the live version and is deeply moved.

As for the issue of the beanpole knife, Luka subconsciously ignored it. It doesn't matter what kind of knife the master uses. Although it doesn't look like a knife at all, it doesn't matter at all!

"Angelo, can every chef cook this dish like Yuan?" When Luka asked this, he felt that he was too harsh, because Yuan Zhou is the chairman of the Celebrity Chefs Association.

So Luka changed his mind: "In China, there are still people who can do this. It's like a magic swipe, and it's OK in your hand."

"..." Angelo didn't know what to say, because what he found was different from the scene in Yuanzhou, and he spent a lot of words to explain clearly to Luka that the scene just now was strange.

While Angelo and Luca were explaining, Yuan Zhou continued his work without stopping for a moment.

For Yuan Zhou, these are all normal operations and are not worth mentioning at all. Otherwise, would Cook Ding Jie Niu really think he could master it so easily?

In fact, if you were a chef here, you would have a clearer understanding of the value of Yuanzhou's knife skills.

Morley and Alma see the surface, Angelo and Luca go a little deeper.

But for Yuan Zhou's bean pole knife, he still couldn't get it due to the huge difficulty of using the bean pole knife.

"I haven't used a beanpole knife for a long time. I'm addicted to it." Yuan Zhou only felt this way in his heart.

Then Yuanzhou controlled the time and took out the shredded tofu for later use.

Cut the winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other side dishes into thin strips according to his own requirements.

Next is the essence of the Wensi Tofu dish.

Yuan Zhou feels that the Wensi Tofu dish not only requires extremely high skills in knife skills, but also the clear soup used in it is also a very critical thing.

This is also where he studied Huaiyang cuisine for a long time and improved it.

There are two types of clear soup, ordinary clear soup and refined clear soup. And in fact, it is easy to distinguish between ordinary and refined soup. The color is very clear. The ordinary soup is slightly white, while the refined soup is as clear as white water but clear and fragrant. It is a top-grade soup and a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine. Boiled cabbage Just use refined clear soup.

Many dishes require the use of clear soup, so Yuanzhou always keeps two kinds of clear soup on hand. Even if he does not use it for cooking, it can also be used to replenish Yin Ya's body.

Yin Ya especially likes to eat the clear soup wontons made by Yuan Zhou, and can eat about twenty at a time. Therefore, Yuan Zhou often takes a bowl to visit the class while Yin Ya is working overtime.

Closer to home, the clear soup used in Wensi Tofu was improved by Yuan Zhou on the basis of ordinary clear soup.

Originally, if you cook ordinary clear soup at the end, it needs to be simmered over low heat. If the heat is too high, it will become a white milk soup. If the heat is too low, the flavor will not be strong.

After Yuanzhou improved the raw materials and added some scallops and other ingredients, the color of the soup was white even on low heat, but it was not the milky white that looked very sticky, but a clear white. , transparent white, beautiful color.

Yuan Zhou moved very quickly. Anyway, Luca and the other four did not discuss anything in a low voice before Wensi Tofu came out of the pot.

Wensi Tofu belongs to the soup type and is packed in a dark can-shaped vessel.

The reddish-brown earthen jar is actually not very big. It has a bulge in the middle, the mouth of the jar is slightly smaller than the middle, and the bottom is the smallest. With the thin white and green colors inside and a little bit of black, the visual effect is perfect.

As Su Ruoyan came closer and closer with the jar, the aroma gradually spread. There was the deliciousness of chicken soup, the bean flavor of tofu, and a hint of sweetness. They blended together. Logically speaking, if there are too many flavors, it would be messy. But this Wensi tofu is different. Various flavors are mixed together to form a unique and fresh taste that makes people’s eyes light up and their taste buds are starting to get excited.

"Angelo, I think food needs to be shared." Luca took the lead.

"Yes, Mr. Angelo, you can get double the food if you share the food." Molly followed closely.

Although Alma didn't speak, she nodded fiercely, and it was self-evident what she meant.

"No problem, but I want to eat first." Although Angelo was also looking forward to it, he was not a stingy person, and it was okay to share a little.

Putting it in front of him, Angelo realized that calling it tofu filaments was simply too flattering. It was thinner than a hair. If it weren't for the many tofu mixed together, the shape would not be visible at all. The white and clear soup with white shredded tofu, I don’t know whether the tofu is whiter or the soup is whiter.

Although I was shocked by the knife skills, I still couldn't help but marvel when I saw such thin tofu.

Because it is too thin, you cannot use chopsticks to pick it up, you can only use a spoon.

"Well, the aroma is perfect." Angelo took a deep breath, and the aroma filled his nose. He quickly picked up the spoon, intending to eat some first before sharing it with others.

Although Luca and the others were anxious, it was not the dish they ordered, so they could only watch it eagerly, waiting for Angelo to taste it before sharing.

When you scoop up a spoonful, there are shredded tofu, shredded emerald green lettuce, and black shredded shiitake mushrooms. When you eat it, it fills your mouth with a fragrant aroma.

Even though the shredded tofu is very thin, it still retains the unique toughness of beans, coupled with the crispness of shredded lettuce, the oiliness of chicken breast, and the saltiness of shredded ham, the flavors are distinct but complement each other. , a perfect match.

It tastes very tolerant and is simply delicious. With Angelo's poor Chinese skills, he can only say a few words "extremely delicious", and he can only eat two more bowls.

So under the gaze of six pairs of eyes, Angelo moved twice as fast as usual. The spoon made the pot flow, and soon the jar bottomed out.

Luca and the others didn't have time to stop them, and then it was gone, gone...

"Angelo, sir, didn't you say you wanted to share?" Molly was the first to speak impatiently.

"It's wrong for you to treat your friends like this." Luka was also a little dumbfounded.

"Are you stupid? Can you order another one?" Angelo said calmly.
