Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 75: Fried hemp tofu

This round of Ningxi and the chef of Wanfuju went in together, and the final round of competition between Shuangxilou and Wanfuju officially began.

The ingredients chosen by the chef of Wanfuju are more than 30 eggs and a plate of good scallops and shrimp.

Ningxi's choice of ingredients was a little embarrassing. The name of the dish she reported was fried hemp tofu. What is hemp tofu? That's something that's pretty out of the question.

The people at the bottom of the capital all like to drink something called "bean juice". This is actually the leftovers of the powder room. The powder room is the place where the powder skin and starch are produced. Add water, grind the thing, the top becomes soy milk, which is used to make mung bean vermicelli and starch, the remaining scraps, after fermentation, boil with fire, after filtering with cloth, what flows down is soy juice, and cloth The one that controls the moisture on the top is hemp tofu.

So, bean juice and hemp tofu are inconspicuous scraps, and they can't catch the eyes of those powerful people, but because of the cheap price, they are very popular among the common people.

Thanks to the servants of the Princess Chang's mansion, they were able to follow Ning Xi's request and prepared for her these ingredients that only poor people would buy, a small piece of goat tail oil, asparagus, green beans, and green chives. A handful, and a little dried chili.

Sheep's tail oil is very fat, white, and has a smell of fishy mutton, which is also disliked by the upper class.

Ning Xi actually regrets it a little now. You said she did something bad, why did she choose this fried hemp tofu?

Ningxi got the materials, but she wasn't busy doing it. First, let's see what the chefs at Wanfuju plan to do.

I saw him take out a large bowl, then knocked out a small hole at the top and bottom of the egg, put the top end to his mouth, and blew down with all his strength, blowing the egg white out of the egg shell, blowing continuously Thirty or so, filled with most of the pots.

Then take out the frying pan, fry the scallops and fresh shrimp in the frying pan until golden brown, sprinkle them in the egg white liquid, and finally steam them in water.

Ningxi can understand, he is steamed scallops and shrimps with egg whites. After the egg whites are steamed, they are white in color, and then the golden-yellow scallops and shrimps are embellished. The appearance is really good, but these three ingredients are too many At least there is a fishy smell. He didn't take any measures to remove the fishy smell. The taste should not be too good.

Ning Xi thought that she couldn't match her hemp tofu, so she could only match the taste.

Ningxi hastily cut the sheep tail oil into small cubes the size of small dice, then chopped chopped green onion, minced ginger, soaked green beans in water, and cut into small pieces.

While she was doing these preparations, the dishes of the chef at Wanfuju also came out of the pot. I saw the water in the porcelain basin was as white as jade. In order to reflect the smooth and flowing texture of the river water, the egg white liquid was not completely steamed. It is cooked, but steamed until it is seven mature, shaking slightly as the person carrying the porcelain basin walks.

The golden-yellow scallops and shrimps are dotted in the middle, like a bright moon reflected in a pool of water, and these bright moons are either round or absent, such as silver plates and jade hooks.

The chef of Wanfuju brought the pots to the judges' table and announced the name of the dish: "Spring River Flower Moon."

Ning Xi's heart moved, no wonder Wan Laosan was so confident. If this dish was served on a flower boat, when the bright moon reflected on the river, it would be very fitting and unparalleled in elegance!

After the dishes were served, the judges nodded: "Chunjiang Huayue, this name is good!"

It's just the taste, Ning Xi smiled lightly. How can a pot of half-cooked egg whites taste good?

Ningxi heated up the oil pan and started to fry the hemp tofu. The hemp tofu had to be fried twice. For the first time, use chopped green onion in the pot, then put in the hemp tofu. All the oil is sucked in, and at this time, the hemp tofu is put out first.

Then use chopped green onion and minced **** to fry the pan, start to stir the mutton tail oil, and patiently stir all the mutton oil with high heat, then put in the hemp tofu that has just been fried, add salt, yellow sauce, mustard and Green beans, during the frying process, all the oil that was absorbed by the hemp tofu will be fried out. The whole pot of hemp tofu is fried loosely. At first glance, it looks like meat floss.

The smell of mutton oil was covered up by the smell of onion and ginger, and the only thing left was the strong meat smell. The judges sniffed: "Fragrant, too fragrant."

The chefs who came to participate in the election still choose to make vegetarian dishes. There are not many chefs who can stir-fry the dishes with such a fragrance, which immediately whetted the appetite of the judges.

Finally, Ningxi sprinkled green chives on the hemp tofu, put it on the plate and adjusted the shape a little, then pressed a nest with a spoon in the middle, fried the chili oil with dry chili and poured it into the nest, with noodles. With a smile, he sent the dish up: "Fried hemp tofu, please try it. If you can eat spicy food, please start from the middle, and if you don't like spicy food, please start from the side, thank you!"

Even if the judges are good-bye and knowledgeable, after all, they have always been pampered. How can they think that scraps such as hemp tofu can be eaten by people? Therefore, almost no one knows the source of the ingredients for this dish, and they only think it is a dish made of tofu.

"Hey, what about tofu?" Everyone looked at the meat floss-like dish, "Is this meat or vegetarian?"

However, no matter if it is meat or vegetarian, the enticing aroma is enough to prompt the judges to pick up their spoons and put some into the small bowls in front of them. The first bite feels a little weird. There is a special smell in hemp tofu. The sour aroma of the sauerkraut is a bit difficult for those who come into contact with it for the first time, but the aroma attracts them to take a second bite. After getting used to the taste, they can experience the tenderness, smoothness, incense.

After tasting it, the judges had different expressions. This was the most bizarre dish they had ever eaten, but it was fatally tempting. I just finished eating it, and I couldn't help but want to eat it a second time. .

After some hesitation, the judges raised the signs in their hands, passed, passed, passed...

Yes, they all want to eat again at the cruise party.

Such a dish of poor people who can't make it to the table, can actually convince all the judges with its taste and get the result of unanimous votes, except for Ning Xi, I am afraid that no one can do it.

Suddenly I heard a strange voice. I looked up and saw that it was the chef of Wanfuju. His face was pale, his teeth trembled slightly, and he made a faint knocking sound. Is he afraid?

The judges smiled apologetically at him, there's another person waiting for the result! It turned out that the appearance of the "Spring River Flower Moon" was so beautiful that no one could bear to destroy it, but the judges have not tasted it yet!

Pick up the spoon, scoop up the trembling egg white cubes, and put them in the mouth. The judges frown, maybe because their expectations are too high, the taste of this dish is really disappointing, especially when it is cooled. After that, the smell became more obvious.

However, the appearance and occasion of this dish are really unbearable. In the end, this dish was approved by eight votes.

Wanfuju's chef's face was ashen, and he walked out with Ning Xi, who was looking as usual.

The people outside knew what was going on when they saw the expressions of the two of them. Without saying a word, Wan Laosan rushed over and slapped the chef in the face: "Damn, what is it? How did you cook it? Didn't you say that this dish is guaranteed to win?"

The chef was slapped by the slap in the face and ran for several steps. He managed to stabilize his body, turned around, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Shop, the shopkeeper, spare your life!"

Ning Xi sneered: "Boss Wan, it's not right for you to do this. This master has won eight votes, which is quite remarkable, and this 'Chunjiang Huayue' is indeed a form. The taste is unparalleled, even Ningxi is amazed, but the taste is a little worse, as long as it is improved a little, it will definitely become the signature dish of your Wanfuju, but if you treat your chef like this, who will be sincerely in the future. Work for you?"

Wan Laosan roared, "It's not your turn to take care of my Wanfuju!" He pointed to a few chefs who had just participated in the competition, "Go away, leave it all to me, Wanfuju doesn't stay, it's useless. Waste!"

Rong Daquan walked up and said to the chefs in Wanfuju: "I think you should change your business as soon as possible. With such an owner, you will not have a good life."

Ning Xi also said: "If you can't find a good place to go, we will open a branch in Shuangxi Tower in the future. You are welcome to apply."

The former imperial chef glanced at Ning Xi, snorted heavily, and walked away. The remaining two chefs still wanted to ask Wan Laosan for mercy, but when they saw his face as black as the bottom of a pot, I was too scared to go forward.

An Mingyue is not afraid of him, she said proudly: "How is it? Wan Laosan, obediently give up on the boat!"

"I don't agree. All three of our chefs have passed, so why should we quit!" The cruise ship will be held every five years. He has been preparing for five years. give up.

The steward of the eldest princess' mansion, who was just invited by them, was unhappy: "Dare you invite me to come here just to tell a joke?"

"Don't dare!" Ning Xi said, "This competition was originally provoked by Wanfuju looking down on our Shuangxi Towers and deliberately trying to kick us out of the cruise party. Now our Shuangxi Towers are lucky enough to win. The boss is in charge of us.”

The steward cleared his throat: "I hereby announce that Wanfuju is disqualified from participating in the boat flower party!"

"That's great!" Meng Shuangshuang and An Mingyue both jumped up, Wang Dongping was overjoyed, only Ning Xi and Rong Daquan were able to keep their composure.

It wasn't until she left the eldest princess' courtyard that Ning Xi remembered that her original intention was to be angry with Jun Qianyu, and she deliberately failed the selection.
