Chapter 2326: The prefecture etiquette

Translator: 549690339
Most of the time, you could tell the history and cooking method of Qin cuisine just by looking at the name. The dish invented by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was directly called Emperor Ming tofu, which was very nice.

Although it could be understood this way, the real Emperor Ming tofu had nothing to do with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was a dish related to Emperor Ming of Tang.

Therefore, sometimes, it was not enough to just look at the surface.

“Is this how it was dealt with?” Gan Zhong looked at the slightly green tofu that was served. The threads of green seemed to be wrapped around the tofu, like fine threads in Jade. It was very beautiful.

Actually, the authentic cooking method of Emperor Ming tofu had been lost. At most, only a few words were left behind by some foodies, such as ‘Jade-like color’ and ‘tender as milk fat’. The rest were self-created.

Gan Zhong had been researching for several years without any specific findings, but he had made one. However, no matter how he soaked the tofu, he couldn’t find the dark green threads in it like jadeite. The tea fragrance didn’t last long either. In addition, after being soaked for a long time, the taste of the tofu wouldn’t be as good. Therefore, although this treasure of the eight Treasures sounded simple, it actually made gan Zhong feel defeated.

However! When he saw the Emperor Ming tofu cooked by Yuan Zhou, his first impression was that the Emperor Ming tofu recorded in the ancient books had reappeared.

In the great Tang era, especially during the era of Tang Ming emperor, many people liked tea, while Ming emperor liked tofu. That was why the Royal chefs combined the two into one dish.

“The appearance is really similar. I wonder how head chef Yuan made this. Did he add tea water into the soybean milk?” Director Wang was also very curious.

…

“No, I’ve tried it before. It’ll be green tofu if I do that. It won’t have such a color.” Gan Zhong said with self-awareness.

“There’s still a lot of room for us to learn Qin cuisine. ” Yan Xiliang said.

Before they had met Yuan Zhou, they had always felt that as a Qin cuisine master, they didn’t dare to say that they could cook all the Qin cuisines, but they were quite good at the part that they were good at.

However, ever since the dinner started, he didn’t dare to have such a thought anymore. He looked at Yuan Zhou’s dishes and then looked back at his own dishes. He felt like he was stuck for a long time.

Regarding this point, there was a saying in the circle of chefs called “Zhou’s ceremony”, which was also Yuan Zhou’s baptism.

“The rain has stopped and the sky has brightened. You think you can do it again? Oh heavens and earth, you think you’re invincible. Come and accept Yuan Zhou’s baptism and let you return to the hard work you had when you were an apprentice.”

“We’re still young and can learn more. We just need to put in some effort. ” Miao Zhonghua said with certainty.

That was what he really thought. He had been told by Chairman Wang that it was a good thing for a chef to be in good health no matter what age they were. Only then could they do whatever they wanted. Miao Zhonghua didn’t feel that it was wrong to apply this theory to learning how to cook.

“I think this tofu is very delicious. It has the fragrance of tea and the unique fragrance of beans. Furthermore, it was prepared in a cold dish. The cold texture highlights the fragrance of tea. It makes one feel as if they are at the seaside in the hot summer. It is pleasant and natural.” Huo ting took advantage of the time when they were studying the tofu and ate it.

Of course, he wasn’t a person who ate alone. After eating, he would definitely share the taste of the dish with his good friends. As for eating half of the dish before speaking, that was a small matter and he didn’t have to care about it.

The tofu was eaten very quickly, and the cold fragrance was still lingering in his mouth. Finally, the last dish was served. It was Yan Xiliang’s dish.

“Head chef Yuan is too extravagant. This is really too much. This wine, this wine …” In a moment of excitement, Huo ting’s calm and composed image changed and he suddenly stood up. His face was red, clearly showing that he was extremely excited. He could not even speak clearly.

Besides cooking and practicing calligraphy, Huo ting’s favorite was wine, especially the Xifeng wine produced in Qin province. It was his favorite, just like how the grandpa liked tea and almost beat Yuan Zhou up the first time he ate the tea egg. Now, Huo ting also wanted to beat Yuan Zhou up.

Just as he was about to climb up the table, Miao Zhonghua grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back with absolute strength.

Yan Xiliang, who came over from the other side, heaved a sigh of relief. They had wanted to communicate with Yuan Zhou in the afternoon, but he had beaten them up in the afternoon. Yan Xiliang felt that they were all going to die.

Yuan Zhou naturally saw Huo ting’s action. He knew very well why he did that. The Xifeng liquor was not an undeserved reputation.

In ancient times, there was a famous saying,”when you open a jar, ten miles of incense will burn, and the three families next door will be drunk.” Not to mention, the West Phoenix wine provided by the system was naturally of a higher quality than ordinary wine.

“This fish in milk soup requires Xifeng wine to light the fire to boil the milk soup. I’m just a chef, so I have to follow the authentic principle and make the Orthodox fish in milk soup.” Yuan Zhou said in the heart.

He looked at Huo ting, who had been restrained, and estimated that he would not hit him. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to cook seriously. Anyway, he could fight three people of Huo ting alone, and there would be someone to support him. There was no need to be afraid!

“This dish smells like wine. I wonder if Compass’s pub has this kind of wine?” Wu Hai was attracted by the rich fragrance and started to make a small plan.

“I think we can try drinking tomorrow.” Although Mao Xiong didn’t smell anything, she believed in Wu Hai’s judgment and thus suggested directly.

“That’s possible, but I wonder if I can try this dish?” Wu Hai stared at that beautiful copper pot with shining eyes.

“I think they are chefs and they probably have something to do. If we Rob them, we might delay boss Yuan’s business.” The furry bear knew how to tame beasts.

“We’ll order by ourselves after we’re done. ” As soon as Wu Hai heard that he would delay Yuan Zhou’s work, he could only suppress the primeval force in his body.

“Big brother hai, you’re so mature.” The bear stroked his fur.

Huo ting’s movements attracted the attention of many people, but they were quickly suppressed. Everyone just looked up and continued to bury themselves in the great cause of eating delicious food. There was not enough food to eat, so how could they have time to pay attention to other people’s Affairs?

“Huo ting, what’s wrong with you? why are you disturbing head chef Yuan’s business?” Yan Xiliang’s face, which had always been smiling, sank.

“You’re not usually like this. Although this dish is very fragrant, isn’t your reaction a little too big?” Even director Wang’s always smart brain couldn’t quite wrap itself around it.

The main reason was that Huo ting’s image of being indifferent to worldly affairs was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He suddenly became so popular that they almost thought that he had changed.

“Is it this wine?” Gan Zhong knew that Huo ting was an alcoholic.

He sniffed the wine’s unique fragrance and had a guess.

Upon hearing the word wine, Huo ting, who had calmed down a little, almost went berserk again.”This is a waste of God’s gift. I must suggest to head chef Yuan to use Xifeng wine. It’s fine. It’s authentic, but you can’t do this!” It’s such a waste. ”

While saying that, Huo ting even mustered up his courage and glared at Yuan Zhou. It could be seen how resentful he was about Yuan Zhou using this kind of Xifeng liquor to cook the milk pot.

“Hasn’t this milk pot always been boiled with Xi Feng wine?” Yan Xiliang still couldn’t understand.

He didn’t know much about wine. Although he felt that the XI Feng wine used by Yuan Zhou was indeed a little more fragrant than the usual Xi Feng wine, the ingredients used by Yuan Zhou here were all of the highest grade. Therefore, it didn’t matter if the wine used to cook it was a little better.

“It’s Xifeng wine, and it’s of a better quality than the Willow forest tribute Xifeng wine I’ve had once. Don’t you think it’s a waste?” Huo ting said unhappily.

He couldn’t wait to find Yuan Zhou and ask him if he could exchange some of the liquor for it. He had to burn it for fun!
