Chapter 121: Seven Grades of Tofu in Manchu Banquet

Twelve o'clock arrived in a blink of an eye. I don't know if it was because they were attracted by the aroma of beef noodles, the entire staff of Haitian Company were attracted to the cooking room to compete with Ye Chui and Jun Lexiang's cooking skills. aroused great interest.

Qin Yue was in a delicate mood at the moment, so he didn't make a sound to drive away these employees of his company.

He is the judge who judges whether the cooking is good or not, so he didn't understand why Ye Chui knew that he planned to appoint Wang Jianhua, but he was still confident enough to participate in this cooking competition. Now he finally understands, That's because Ye Chui has enough confidence in himself, confident that he can conquer him with the delicious food he cooks...

It has to be said that Qin Yue feels that Ye Chui is so confident in his strength.

The five dishes made by the two parties have been placed on the square table in front of him at this time, Wang Jianhua smiled lightly, and said to Qin Yue: "Boss Qin, please taste it."

Ye Chui's cooking seems to be of a very high level, but Wang Jianhua has already returned to his composure. After all, he has already made an agreement with Qin Yue in advance, no matter what the competition is, he will win...

It's just that his smile quickly disappeared, Qin Yue chose to taste dessert first.

The crunchy apples of Ye Chui are against the sweet potato syrup of Junlexiang.

Not knowing if it was because Wang Shiyu's revenge made him too greedy before, Qin Yue couldn't wait to pick up a piece of crispy apple with a fork and put it into his mouth.

The crispy apples made by Ye Chui are somewhat similar to the candied apples, but the candied apples need a lot of syrup to form sugar whiskers on the surface of the apples, and the sweetness is also extremely dense. There is only a thin layer of syrup on the surface, like a crystal covering, which makes this dish look very outstanding, and at the same time it does not lack the fragrance of apples.

Eat it in one bite, it tastes sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a unique taste. Fragrant and crunchy are undoubtedly the most charming aspects of this dish, but the sweet taste is the next best thing, becoming an embellishment, without overwhelming the original sweet and sour taste of apples. Impressive.

Qin Yue ate a piece of crispy apple in a few mouthfuls, nodded in satisfaction, thinking that he was indeed worthy of his expectations just now, and then subconsciously wanted to eat a second piece, but at this time. Wang Jianhua coughed lightly before he came to his senses, put down his knife and fork with some nostalgia, and went to taste the sweet potato syrup made by Wang Jianhua.

The recipe for sweet potato syrup is also quite simple. Wash and boil the sweet potatoes until overcooked, then add brown sugar and ginger slices to taste. After all, it is a dessert, so the method can’t be too complicated.

Qin Yue scooped up a spoonful of it with a soup spoon and put it into his mouth.

sweet.

Sweet and greasy.

This made Qin Yue couldn't help but frowned. Speaking of which, this sweet potato syrup was pretty good. But when he commented on the delicious taste, he didn't know how much worse it was than Ye Chui's crispy apple - after eating a piece of crispy apple, he wanted to eat it second, but he didn't want to drink a second spoonful of this sweet potato syrup up...

So Qin Yue put down the spoon.

"Boss Qin, which of these two desserts do you think is better?" Wang Jianhua asked impatiently.

Qin Yue hesitated, and then pointed to Ye Chui's side: "I'm sorry, Boss Wang, but I think Mr. Ye's crispy apple dish is better."

Wang Jianhua's face suddenly changed slightly.

Qin Yue hastily winked at Wang Jianhua: the level of the two dishes is too different, even if he is biased, he can't go too far, after all, so many people in the company are watching... But he also asked Wang Jianhua to rest assured, isn't there five dishes? It's three wins out of five, wouldn't it be enough for him to let Wang Jianhua win the other dishes?

On Ye Chui's side, Han Yuyan, Wang Shi, Yutian Xiaodu, and Xing Sen all showed joyful expressions. This is considered to have won the first round, but Ye Chui's expression was very calm. He smiled and said to Qin Yue: "Boss Qin. Please continue to taste other delicacies."

Qin Yue nodded, and the next thing he chose was cold dishes.

The cold dish made by Ye Chui is pearl tofu, while the cold dish made by Wang Jianhua is emerald tofu. Although both dishes are made of tofu, there is a big difference between the two dishes. Ye Chui’s pearl tofu is golden yellow. A dish made of meatballs. Dotted with green lettuce as a foil, and Jade Tofu is a whole piece of white and tender tofu, topped with emerald green sauce.

When Ye Chui made this pearl tofu before, he deliberately stood in front of the chopping board to prevent others from seeing how it was made. After all, this dish is a confidential recipe - pearl tofu is a classic cold dish in the Manchu banquet.

The dishes of the Man-Han Banquet can be divided into four grades: [fanpin], [delicacy], [imperial taste] and [shangshan]. This pearl tofu is a cold dish belonging to the [delicacy] level, compared to what Ye Chui made for Mr. Han back then. The [Royal Taste] cold dish Hongzi Shredded Chicken and Cucumber is a bit inferior, but it is still a delicious dish.

There are various ways to make tofu in the Manchu Banquet, and the most delicious one is [Seven Grades of Tofu].

The product here is not a product of grade, but a product of taste.

Among the tofu dishes in the Manchu Banquet, there are seven dishes that are put together, namely Penglai Tofu, Almond Tofu, Yipin Tofu, Fragrant Sour Tofu, Jintang Baiyu, Yunpian Tofu and this pearl tofu. These seven tofu dishes are [ Seven products of tofu], the seven dishes correspond to each other, taste them one by one, and you can appreciate the ultimate delicacy of tofu.

At this moment, this bright pearl tofu is put together with the emerald tofu made by Junlexiang's chef.

From the appearance point of view, Pearl Tofu seems to be slightly inferior to Jade Tofu. The color of Jade Tofu is crystal clear, and it looks quite attractive at first glance. When the two dishes are placed together, a smile appears on Wang Jianhua's face. He felt that even if he hadn't greeted Qin Yue with this second dish, he could definitely beat Ye Chui.

Picking up the bamboo chopsticks, Qin Yue tasted this emerald tofu first, picked up a piece of white and tender tofu, and put it into his mouth along with some crystal green sauce, and then there was a complimenting expression on his face: "Good! This emerald tofu dish is very good, the emerald green sauce seems to be made from vegetable juice, and seasonings such as sesame paste are added, the taste is fresh and strong, and the taste is very extraordinary when eaten with a bite of tofu!"

Hearing Qin Yue's evaluation, Wang Jianhua nodded with a smile, then looked at Ye Chui's Pearl Tofu, and said with a smile: "Boss Qin, next, please taste Mr. Ye's Pearl Tofu."

At this time, Han Yuyan became nervous, and asked Ye Chui in a low voice: "Master, is our tofu good? It seems that no one else's emerald tofu is as delicious."

"Don't worry, it's fine." Ye Chui said to Han Yuyan with a smile, his face full of confidence.

Qin Yue had already picked up a piece of fried golden tofu ball with bamboo chopsticks, looked at it a few times, and put it into his mouth.

The meatballs did look a little bland. After putting the meatballs into his mouth, Qin Yue wanted to say a few polite words, and judged that Wang Jianhua's dish was the winner. However, the tofu meatballs took a bite After a while, Wang Jianhua's face froze. He was stunned for a while, and then picked up a piece of tofu balls and put them in his mouth. He chewed and ate them, his expression still in that puzzled look. After thinking for a while, he He took another one and put it in his mouth.

Wang Jianhua was originally full of confidence, but when he saw Qin Yue's reaction, he immediately felt a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Boss Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Qin Yue stop his chopsticks, and looked at Ye Chui strangely: "What do you use for this dish?"

"Tofu." Ye Chui said with a smile.

"But...why doesn't it smell like tofu?" Qin Yue said with a puzzled look on his face, "There is an indescribably strong fragrance, but I'm sure it doesn't taste like tofu!"

"That's tofu." Ye Chui's reaction to Qin Yue was not surprising, "It's just that after my seasoning, tofu is more like a carrier in this dish, and what this dish focuses on is the concentration of spices. The scent produced."

The method of Mingzhu tofu seems simple, but there is a hidden secret. Grind southern tofu into bean paste, pour egg whites to make the bean paste have a certain viscosity, and then Ye Chui mixes it with a soup made of several spices.

Although the soup made with spices has a strong aroma, the taste is definitely not delicious. However, after being fused with tofu, the tofu can perfectly absorb this aroma, knead into balls, deep-fry, and then under high temperature The wonderful texture of tofu is completely changed by the spice soup, not tofu is better than tofu, another delicious taste is brewed from tofu.

Originally, Qin Yue was not optimistic about this dish, but now he felt a huge gap. Compared with Wang Jianhua's emerald tofu, he didn't know how much he won.

Mingzhu tofu can be listed as one of the seven kinds of tofu in the Manchu Banquet, which naturally has its own advantages.

"Boss Qin, which of the two dishes do you think is better?" Ye Chui asked with a light smile at this time.

"This..." Wang Jianhua had originally made up his mind to pay attention to the judgment that Wang Jianhua's side would win this time, but now he couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he finally made up his mind, "These two cold dishes are still your pearls, Mr. Ye." Tofu is even better!"

Wang Jianhua's complexion immediately became very ugly: Qin Yue, what does this mean?

Qin Yue hastily winked at him again: It's impossible for Ye Chui to have every dish so delicious, right? The difference between the first two dishes was so great that he couldn't help but judge Ye Chui's side as the winner. However, there are five dishes in total, three out of five rounds, and the next three rounds will be given to Wang Jianhua...

That's what he said, but Wan Jianhua then looked at the three remaining dishes of Ye Chui, his eyes were involuntarily full of anticipation, and he was already a little desperate to taste it!

On Ye Chui's side, Han Yuyan, Tian Xiaodu, and Xing Sen were naturally happy, and at the same time, they understood why Ye Chui knew that Wang Jianhua was colluding with Qin Yue, but he was still full of ambitions—in front of the absolute delicacy , just to make Wang Jianhua feel ashamed to cheat!
