Husband, Have Dinner

Chapter 177: Chrysanthemum tofu (part 2)

Ayao didn't know that Mochizuki and the bird's nest were inside. She was surprised that the maid took the tray and walked into the box. The curtains were fluttering. She vaguely saw the woman inside, but she could see the golden step.

Probably some noble person.

In front of the box, several judges sat in a row, and the maid passed by, and the person at the very end looked at the soup bowl with a hint of surprise.

The maid squatted and held the soup bowl and stayed for a few seconds in front of the princess so that she could see clearly what was in the soup bowl, and then calmly got up and left. She did the same before, and these dishes are already great for the chefs to read in front of the princess. Fortunately, only a handful of people and dishes caught her eyes.

"Wait, you put it here, take a spoonful and I'll taste it."

The eldest princess stopped her from leaving.

A few chrysanthemums float in the clarified soup, and the golden-yellow soup base sets off the snow white of the chrysanthemums, and a medlar is dotted in the middle to show the stamens.

"I remember correctly, your little apprentice only got a piece of tofu at the scene. A piece of tofu can make such a few chrysanthemums. It's like water lotus." The princess said, she used her chopsticks to poke "good idea and clever hands." "

Mochizuki replied, "Mochizuki thanked the princess for the compliment on behalf of the disciple Jiang Yao."

"Tell me how to do this."

Mochizuki explained.

The chrysanthemum is cut with tofu, not as thin as hair, and you can see that there are edges and corners on the "petals". This is a knife craftsmanship, which tests the chef's knife skills extremely. Cut the tofu lengthwise and crosswise, without cutting to the end, to ensure that the bottom can become a "calyx" when it is picked up and can hold the petals. If the distance between each knife is too sparse, it will not bloom like a flower after being placed in the water.

But Ayao’s thoughts on the top are not only that, a piece of tofu was cut into four pieces by her, two of which were divided into two and turned into four small pieces, and the larger piece was cut into a cylinder by her. Started to cut more than 30 knives longitudinally and more than 30 crosscuts.

When I got the water and boiled it, I used a knife to cut the top into petals in the water, and finally drained the water and moved it to the soup bowl. Pour the broth on the edge of the soup bowl to avoid breaking the tofu shreds, and steam it in the pot.

The princess looked like she liked it, scooped a spoonful of a whole chrysanthemum and soup, blew the heat into the mouth, chewed it, and then smiled, indicating that the maid could take the soup out.

Mochizuki's heart tightened, as expected.

The appearance and color matching of this dish are beautiful, but in terms of taste——

Tofu itself only has the taste of beans, if you choose soft tofu, you can still taste tenderness. The appearance of this knife can not make people appetite, even if it is eaten, it does not have much taste. It depends on the seasoning of the broth, and the quality of the broth is very important.

And A Yao's mistake is in this broth!

She could smell that the ham inside was not used well, and the ingredients purchased in a short time could not be controlled by the cook, and the quality was inferior.

The maid went in for a while, and the judges outside were talking about it.

The spectators upstairs are also whispering

"I remember this little girl correctly. I only grabbed a piece of tofu an hour ago?"

"It was her, that piece of tofu made a chrysanthemum?"

"It's too far, it seems to be seen vaguely, right? A piece of tofu was really made by her. I know how to carve the tofu with radish."

"It's nothing more than knives, no surprises."

"Since there is no unusual knife cooking dish, tell me why the dish has been left in it for so long?"

A Yao cheered herself up in her heart, waited for the maid to come out, gave the judges a bowl of soup, and the chrysanthemum tofu was finished.

They tried a bite and let A Yao go down and wait.

The censer on the table used to keep track of the time has been burned, and the eunuch, the eunuch, inspected the incense feet and announced loudly, "Time is up-those who exceed time are eliminated!"

No one in the kitchen hasn't finished it yet.

The maid reported that the judges and the eunuchs were satisfied and relieved that this was the first time the princess had come to watch the competition. Fortunately, there were no moths. Several people and judges began to comment and write down the outstanding dishes.

Participants who come to participate in the competition have their own unique dishes, and they have to fight for four divisions and six rounds. As for the winner of the final prize, it depends on the officials' ladies' preference for those dishes.

When they were drawing up their rankings, A Yao was summoned and was able to enter the box.

"Look, it seems that this little girl has a promising future."

"..."

Ayao followed the maid into the box, and the person in it had been raised beforehand as the eldest princess. After entering, he bowed to the maid's sign.

"Please, this is not in the palace, and there is no need for complicated etiquette."

The eldest princess's person is pretty good, and the voice is nice, sounding very gentle. A Yao thought to herself, she stood up from Shan Shan Ru Liu. Before she raised her eyes to see what the princess looked like, she saw the bird's nest behind her and Mochizuki beside her.

How is this going?

The bird's nest is here, she can understand, but...what's the matter with Mochizuki? Mochizuki did not return to the capital because of his sensitive identity and the old case of the previous dynasty?

But Bird's Nest and Mochizuki didn't give her extra eyes, and looked down at the ground. What can she do? A Yao can make up a lot in an instant.

Long princess "Your chrysanthemum tofu looks good. Can you cut this tofu finer?"

All brain replenishment came to an abrupt end now, Ayao retracted her thoughts and answered seriously, "Go back to the princess, it's okay. But at the time, the folk girl considered that if all food is made to be extremely thin and thin, it will lose its original taste. Chrysanthemum. The same is true for tofu. There are more than sixty knives in it, and you can see the edges and corners carefully. If you cut to more than 80 knives, it will be like clouds and flowers, but in this way, it will have a mere appearance and no taste. ."

"Even if you use the broth, you can't adjust the taste?" the princess asked again.

"It needs to be sketched into a thick soup to give it another flavor. The broth can be adjusted, but the princess must also be able to taste it. The taste of this broth is lacking, and the ingredients are insufficient. , So I can only think of a way from the ingredients to balance the lack of broth with the taste of tofu."

A Yao answered, then quietly raised her eyes to look at Mochizuki and the bird's nest. Master Mochizuki, what do you think of my answer? Is it too honest?

However, the eldest princess is used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, and the broth is often used in cooking. Whether it is good or bad, it must be hidden from her tongue.

"You little apprentice is sincere." The eldest princess turned her head and said to Mochizuki, "it's not like you at all."

"The princess has sensitive taste buds, how dare you deceive." Mochizuki said.

The eldest princess and Master Mochizuki... are they old acquaintances?

"Little girl, are you interested in cooking at my princess house?"

The eldest princess suddenly turned to invite A Yao.
