Chapter 399: The Strange Desire To Win As A Father(1/2)

While thinking so, He Yue picked up a spoon and dug a piece of tofu.

When retrieving it, I looked at the tofu trembling and seemed to loosen with a little force. Even the tofu on the plate looked softer, tenderer and fragile than jelly.

But even though it is such a tofu, it can still maintain such a complete state after it is released. This move alone requires a very good foundation.

After all, when making tofu, stir-frying it gently may cause some of the tofu to break down, which is common, unless the tofu is neatly placed on the plate at the beginning.

But it is obvious that the Mapo tofu in front of me is not.

If that were the case, a piece of Mapo tofu would not be evenly wrapped around the red sauce, nor would it be presented on the plate so naturally and casually.

It is casually placed but it is hard to hide its unique and attractive smell. The closer he gets, the more he can smell the various smells on the tofu.

Especially the taste of pepper and chili is particularly obvious.

The moment he put Mapo tofu in his mouth, his feeling was hot!

After all, this dish is just a freshly served!

When it was put into the plate, the soup inside was even gushing with small bubbles.

In addition, when making tofu, you need to add a little more oil, which absorbs heat. This makes people feel hot after entering the mouth. But this kind of hot is not pure hot, but an illusion formed by the spicy taste wrapped in hot air.

Just like when a person drinks a sip of hot water after eating spicy food, the pain caused will be doubled.

That's why there is a saying that you can eat barbecue, crayfish, and drink iced drinks or beer when eating hot pot.

This combination is not created by someone, but is the experience summarized by the general public in their daily lives.

Because only this way is the most enjoyable.

The tofu entered He Yue's mouth. Although He Yue felt it was hot, this kind of hotness was not that unbearable, but it would definitely not work if he just swallowed it like this. He Yue himself was a chef, so he knew that he could not swallow such hot food into his throat.

Therefore, he had to keep gently tentatively trying to chop the tofu, but the more he chewed, the more he could feel the taste, especially during the chewing process, he also ate the beef pellets that had been mixed in the soup.

The slightly crispy beef pellets that were stir-fried formed a sharp contrast with the tender and tender tofu. Under such a collision, He Yue also had a very wonderful feeling in his mouth, that is, he especially wanted to chew the beef pellets constantly.

However, when chewing beef pellets, the tongue and palate will purse the tofu together to let the taste spread.

The more this happens, the more rich the taste in the mouth.

After eating this, the aftertaste still lingers in my mouth and has not dissipated for a long time.

If you smash it, you can still feel the busy work in your mouth just now.

He Yue is from Jiangsu and is not particularly spicy. This bite of Mapo tofu directly makes him extremely transparent.

However, after eating Mapo tofu for a while, the taste in the mouth gradually began to decline, and the last thing left was the feeling of numbness and spicyness.

After a look at everyone talking and laughing, they also started to attack Mapo tofu. As a result, He Yue took another spoonful of Mapo tofu and seemed less abrupt.

"As long as I eat fast enough, the spicy ones won't catch up with me!"

He Yue thought so in his heart. He understood the diner's psychology very well, but at this moment he also turned into a diner.

In Honghong Hotel, except for newcomers, Mapo tofu rarely comes to the dining table for staff meals, so you can make Mapo tofu once in a while. No matter when this dish is served, it is one of the fastest dishes to be eliminated.

Because after taking a bite, you will feel like you can't stop. The numb pleasure in your mouth seems to be urging you to take another bite as soon as possible.

So soon Mapo tofu was seen. He Yue stretched out the spoon to Mapo tofu five times in total. But others saw that He Yue really liked to eat it, so they gave the opportunity to him quietly.

After all, He Yue is the main guest today.

It’s not because the amount of dishes is too small, there are so many people sitting on the table, and each person can’t take a few turns even if he gets a spoonful.

After eating Mapo tofu, He Yue finally realized the charm of Sichuan cuisine. To be honest, he was not very good at Sichuan cuisine before. After all, as a chef of Huaiyang cuisine, he must think that Huaiyang cuisine is the best in the world.

In addition, in his mind, Cantonese and Shandong cuisine may be pretty good.

But now he has made a huge improvement in Sichuan cuisine.

And the most important thing is that this dish is also a kind of home-cooked dish. Although it is definitely a chef's skill and skill when it is cooked in a restaurant, it makes sense that a dish can become a home-cooked dish that is popular all over the country.

"I just said that Boss Chen made all Huaiyang dishes, but I didn't expect that the next dish would come with Mapo tofu. It's really eye-opening!" He Yue said in admiration. After all, what he ate just now was indeed a little anxious.

It is obviously not appropriate if you don’t say a word after eating.

"That's not. My master is very good at cooking. Although he has just entered the industry for a while, he already knows a lot of dishes. If he continues at this speed, he may become a famous chef in Sichuan in a few years!" He Hai said proudly.

At the same time, I also wanted my father to see that he was not cheated when he came to Chengdu, nor did he find a restaurant to mess around.

"Yes, after eating these dishes today, I never expected that Boss Chen had only been a chef for more than half a year. When I was an apprentice for half a year, I was still helping people." He Yue said.

Originally, he was quite impressed by Chen Nian, but after his son spoke like this, he was a little dissatisfied. After all, this was his own son, and he had never seen his son praise him like this at the beginning.

As a result, he now blew a boy who was almost a whole generation younger than him.

It is said that he is a master, but Chen Nian is only six or seven years older than He Hai.

But after all, he is an adult, and everyone in the Honghong Hotel is very kind, so He Yue naturally couldn't show any dissatisfaction expressions.

I just talked about my past with emotion.

Of course, when I said this in front of everyone, I was quietly holding the old man.

"By the way, what's the next dish? I'm a little tempted to know the next dish now."

"Wensi Tofu." Xie Yu quickly replied.

"Wensi Tofu?" He Yue felt energetic as soon as he heard this. How could he not know about this dish?

Speaking of Wensi Tofu, it is a model of Huaiyang cuisine that is gorgeous and unreal. The taste is actually nothing special compared to other dishes, but the shape and appearance are too terrifying.

The pot of tofu shreds as thin as hair floated in the bowl, like a turning bright galaxy.

Generally, people who don’t know much about Huaiyang cuisine will be shocked and amazed when they see this dish.

But He Yue knew very well that although the dish of Wensi Tofu is very challenging to knife skills, it is basically a bit talented and has a little mature knife skills and can make this dish.

It's nothing more than the thickness and uniformity of the tofu shreds, but it basically won't have any impact.

The 0.8mm and 1mm are placed in a bowl of Wensi tofu, and you can basically not see any gap with your naked eyes.

After all, no one will look at this dish with a magnifying glass.

But this is just for chefs who are pursuing a little, and most small restaurants on the roadside in Yangzhou will not do this at all.

Wensi Tofu also has special tools. Just put the tofu in and then everything can be made evenly, with the same thickness and thinness as hair.

This way, this dish is no longer difficult.

But when he thought of this, He Yue couldn't sit still.

"Everyone, I'll make a call." He Yue found an excuse and left the box. He took out his cell phone and pretended to call for a while before putting the phone back in his pocket.

Come to the kitchen as if you are walking and curious.

After all, Chen Nian just said that he was welcome to go to the kitchen to take a look. He had been holding back and didn't run over to see it before, but when the Wensi Tofu dish was a dish, he finally couldn't help it.

I came to see how Aged is actually very simple to make this dish, that is, I want to see how Aged is made.

But in his own guess, Chen Nian probably used a machine to make this dish. After all, he has only been a chef for half a year and has so many dishes. No matter what, it is impossible to put much effort into Wensi tofu.

On the contrary, He Yue himself can make Wensi tofu, and he can cut it with a kitchen knife. Although the cut tofu shreds are not as good as those of top chefs, it is at least very pleasing to the eye.

He just wanted to see Aged Nian used utensils to make Wensi tofu, so that he could feel a sense of superiority in his heart. After all, his son praised Aged Nian in a tone that he had never praised him before, which made him feel a little unhappy.

But before He Yue entered the kitchen, he heard the constant pounding sounds of the cutting board inside. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but take two steps and enter the kitchen.

As a result, the scene he saw was stunned.

I saw Chen Nian holding a piece of tofu on the other side at a very fast frequency and it looked a little bit like it was cut randomly, because now the tofu looks like it was cut into crunchy shapes.

But He Yue knew that this was clearly the correct way to cut Wensi tofu, and looking at Chen Nian's ease and the frequency of cutting the knife, he didn't look like a novice at all!

"Did he spend most of his time practicing this dish?" He Yue guessed in his heart, "No, I have seen the menu here, there are so many dishes on it, and there are many more difficult dishes, many of which cannot be learned simply.

But just now, there was nothing to be picky about whenever I entered the taste of the dishes. In addition, I usually have to open a shop, so many people come to me every time I eat, so how could he have so much time to practice?"

"Uncle He, you are here." After seeing He Yue, Chen Nian couldn't help but raise his head and say hello, but the movements in his hands did not stop while talking.

"Well, I called me just now and came over to check it out." He Yue used the excuse I had just made, but he saw Chen Nian cutting Wensi tofu at an extremely fast speed while chatting with him, and couldn't help but say with some concern: "It's okay, Boss Chen, you cut it first. I won't talk to you for now, so as not to be distracted."

I'm not worried that the old age will be cut. After all, when cutting vegetables, I hold a kitchen knife in one hand and my fingers with the first knuckle against the kitchen knife in the other hand.

As long as you don’t have too much movement or distracted, you will basically not be able to cut your hands.

He Yue was mainly worried that what Chen Nian was distracted from talking to him would lead to the cut Wensi tofu not being as thick and evenly thick and beautiful as it was.

"It's okay." Chen Nian said, smearing the tofu that had been cut into thin slices with a kitchen knife and dipped it in some water, then began to cut it into shreds.

When cut into shreds, the appearance looks more like tofu crunch.

But this scene is a sign of confidence in He Yue's eyes.

But the more confident Chen Nian showed, the more confused He Yue was: "Boss Chen is so good at sword skills. Even if he puts it in our place, it will be very powerful."

"Uncle He is polite. I have been to Yangzhou before and participated in a young chef competition. The chefs there are basically the same as me, and there are also those younger than me. My knife skills can be considered ordinary."

Chen Nian said modestly.

He Yue was even more shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Chen Nian would go to Yangzhou to participate in a chef competition?

Although he doesn't pay much attention to these competitions, being invited to be a player also shows that he has certain strength, not to mention that Chen Nian is a chef in Sichuan.
