2024 What kind of tofu is this
This time, Atticus had brought a total of 13 people, four Japanese, four thai, two Vietnamese, one Philippines, Cambodia, and India.
The 13 of them could be considered a small group, but this group only stayed in Chengdu for three days. The only requirement was that they had to eat at least two meals in master chef Restaurant within three days and nothing else. This was the so-called food-claiming group.
It was very interesting to talk about today’s group in detail, especially since the four Japanese were all around 40 years old and dressed in smart suits. The four of them knew each other, and although they were in the line, it did not hinder their communication.
“RI xiangsang, what are you going to eat? I’ve prepared mapo tofu. Today, I must taste the difference between the mapo tofu made by a Grandmaster and the mapo tofu in our country.” A bespectacled man with a refined face asked the person behind him.
The person behind him was different from the thin and refined man in front of him. He looked much stronger and was much taller, but the suit on him looked a little sloppy.
“Don’t worry, ODA-san, I’m ready. I’m here to see how good Mr. Yuan is after being praised by Fujiwara Jiayuan and Mr. Dashi Hidekazu. I want to know if he’s exaggerating.” The Japanese known as Hinata was also a food critic who liked to ride on the popularity of the hot reviewers.
“Yes, I believe in nixiang-san’s review of food.” ODA nodded.
“In China, there’s something similar to our country’s sashimi and raw fish slices. It’s called fish. It’s four words and it’s a little difficult to write, so I copied it down.” RI Xiang said.
Atticus happened to be nearby, and he saw the four words “Jinku Jinku” with a glance. If he wasn’t a studious person, he probably wouldn’t be able to recognize these four words. It was too difficult for Japanese people.
“This little … Person with a good life is quite smart.” Atticus sighed.
The other two people also took out the small notes they had prepared, indicating that they were fully prepared.
On the one hand, foodies were looking forward to good food. On the other hand, they were curious about what the chef who was being praised like this looked like.
Of course, other than Hinata, it was said that he was famous in duanteng Plains, so he was prepared to pick bones from an egg.
For example, dashi xiujie, who was called the “son of Japan cuisine” by Fujiwara Jiayuan, was once evaluated by Hinata.
“From the food, I can tell that it’s filled with the arrogance of the upper class. It’s detached from Japan’s national conditions and eating his food only makes me feel like I’m eating leftovers thrown out by the upper class.”
First of all, dashi xiujie’s style was shangya huaishi cuisine. However, it was very unfair to be caught by hinxiang.
Moreover, da shi had already asked Yuan Zhou for advice after he won first place in the young chefs ‘exchange meet. He had discovered and was already solving this problem.
However, from the food review of dashi xiujie, one could also see what kind of food critic RI Xiang was.
Getting back to the main topic, the Japanese in the food group also had a special feature. Each person only ordered one dish. They were used to eating less.
“It’s time for lunch. The first 16 customers, please come in for your meal. ” Following su Ruoyan’s signature sentence, lunchtime began.
Atticus was a calculative man. When he brought his team here, he never snatched the first-level spots. He usually placed his team behind the second-level team and in front of the third-level team, half on each side. This way, it was convenient to serve the customers, and it would not cause dissatisfaction to others. It was quite smart.
With Atticus ‘instructions, everyone quietly lined up and went in in order when it was time to eat.
Fortunately, the four Japan were in the second line. After entering, they ordered four dishes that they had prepared for a long time with Atticus ‘help.
They were mapo tofu, Golden Jade rice, Drunken Shrimp, and red braised pork. The four dishes covered three to four different cuisines. When Yuan Zhou got the menu, he raised his head and looked at the four people. As soon as he saw Atticus ‘familiar figure, he knew that they were probably people from the tour group.
Yuan Zhou hadn’t really communicated with Atticus before, but Atticus was always the one who led the group during the previous nine-person meeting and many other times. Therefore, he was quite familiar with Atticus.
“By the way, system, according to logic, the Jinchan and Jinchan should be Qin cuisines, but su cuisines also have them. Which cuisines does this dish belong to?” Yuan Zhou asked in the heart.
“Host, this dish has different cooking methods in different cuisines. There’s no need to be so conflicted.” The system displayed.
Wasn’t that equivalent to saying nothing? how could Qin cuisine be the same as su cuisine?
Other than the mapo tofu, which was hot, the rest of the dishes were cold or even raw, so they were cooked very quickly.
Although the names all seemed very beautiful, the ingredients were simple. The Golden Jade rice was actually the bass rice. After the improvement, many people used carp or Chinese perch to cook it. However, Yuan Zhou definitely followed the ancient method.
As for the drunken Shrimp, it was even easier to understand. It was a small branch of Sichuan cuisine. Mixed with red raw was a type of Yunnan cuisine, which meant that it was minced pork tenderloin and mixed raw. Many people could not accept it.
Yuan Zhou’s cooking speed was fast to begin with. As most of the dishes were raw, he cooked even faster and soon, the dishes were served.
“This fragrance is really intoxicating. It’s as if the mapo tofu in China doesn’t have this kind of taste.” The gentle ODA said.
“As expected of a great Grandmaster. His cutting skills are truly superb.” One of the Japan who had no presence said.
After ordering the jadestar plate, he looked at the faintly red fish on the green plate very carefully. It felt like a little red in a sea of green. It was beautiful and exquisite, very in line with the position of a food.
Hinata knew that he could not find any fault with the plate presentation and knife skills.
“Mine looks good too,” He clicked on the Dao of bihong Sheng.
As for those who had ordered the drunken Shrimp, they had already started eating. Whether it was delicious or not, one could tell from his constant movements. He was mumbling in Japanese in a very low voice, probably no one else but himself could hear him.
“Ashimoto-san is too cunning.” Seeing this, the refined man, ODA, also began to eat.
“Oh, it’s so hot. It’s really hot. It’s numbing and hot. As expected of mapo tofu.”
ODA used his own spoon to scoop up a spoonful of it. With some sauce in it, it was particularly delicious.
It was mainly because he had eaten mapo tofu like this when he was in China. Otherwise, the tofu would be crushed.
Naturally, he also ordered rice. When he was eating, he changed to eating with chopsticks. The next second, he forgot to use the spoon and directly used the chopsticks to pick up the tofu. He thought that it would be crushed immediately. After all, he had never eaten such tender tofu.
In fact, it was not. The chopsticks picked up a piece of tofu very smoothly, and it was still intact. The refined man, ODA, widened his eyes and stared at the tofu in disbelief. “I’ve taken advantage of Kiyomizu-dera before, but I can’t do this either. How is that possible?”
Tofu was also very popular in Japan. It was often made with tofu that had been passed down for hundreds of years. ODA loved to eat tofu, so he had eaten a lot of it. However, the mapo tofu in front of him was still beyond his imagination.
