Chapter 437 The Confusion of Appearance

The dish in front of you looks a little golden in color, and the tender "tongue slices" are as white as pure jade, as if you are swimming in a golden ocean. The first impression is very good.

But what makes people wonder is, why is there no steam coming out of the surface of this freshly cooked dish?
After Chu Yunfeng sprinkled some coriander sporadically on the surface, it made people even more appetizing.

A faint smell of fish wafted in the kitchen, making Yueyue want to taste it immediately, but after taking a look at Chu Yunfeng's serious expression, she gave up the idea.

"Teacher Jiang, you can serve it now. Just get two bowls and two spoons, serve them and put them aside. Don't do anything else."

Chu Yunfeng told Teacher Jiang that this was a very critical step and that it would only be effective if two people took it together.

Looking at Chu Yunfeng's very serious and determined eyes, Teacher Jiang nodded and picked up the tofu soup, which had no heat at all on the surface.

"Oh, why is it so hot?"

Teacher Jiang's hand just touched the edge of the bowl, and suddenly realized that the bowl was very hot. Fortunately, he retracted his hand quickly, otherwise he would definitely have been burned.

Strange~!

There was no trace of heat coming out of this dish since it was put on the plate, which made me think that the dish was not hot at all, so I just served it with my hands.

It seems that I have been deceived by this external appearance. After thinking about it, I should understand, how can this freshly cooked dish not be hot?
But what exactly caused this phenomenon, Teacher Jiang didn't understand. It seemed that this was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, which was indeed a bit strange.

I wanted to ask Xiao Chu what was going on first, but seeing Xiao Chu's anxious expression, I hurriedly brought the dishes over first.

Picking up two wet towels, Teacher Jiang walked in front with this seemingly magical dish. Yueyue immediately followed with two small bowls, two spoons, and a soup spoon.

I originally wanted to get an extra pair of bowls and spoons, but when I saw Chu Yunfeng glared at me and bit my lip, I gave up.
At this time, the chess game in the yard was reaching a tense and intense moment. The battle situation was very stalemate, especially the old man who shouted the loudest.

"I want to be the general, you have to be careful." The old man seemed to have the upper hand in this round, and his tone could not hide his inner excitement.

"You don't even have two cents left, so what are you talking about? If you have the ability, will you come and take a look?"

Mr. Wei was unmoved at all and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not affected by the old man's words at all.

Teacher Jiang put the big bowl on the table, took the small bowl from Yueyue, then used a spoon to scoop half of the bowl into the two bowls, and then put the spoon in.

What made Mr. Jiang even more puzzled was that he was already holding a wet towel, but even holding it in his hand, he could still feel the superb temperature in the big bowl.

But when I was scooping out the tofu, I scooped it up from the bottom of the bowl, but I still didn't notice a trace of heat. This was simply too strange.

After placing the two small bowls next to the two of them, Teacher Jiang hurried back toward the kitchen, making sure to ask Xiao Chu what was going on.
Yueyue originally wanted to see what the deep intention of Chu Yunfeng's arrangement was on the spot, but when she saw Teacher Jiang's accelerated pace, she knew she had to go back and ask.

Rather than waiting here by myself, it's better to follow up and find out sooner.

Yueyue has the same question as Teacher Jiang, that is, why is there no heat in this dish? It looks like there is no temperature at all, but it is actually very hot?
"You want to know the reason?" Chu Yunfeng knew that everyone was curious about this matter, so he began to laugh.

In fact, this is the most distinctive part of this dish, that is, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

The biggest feature of many classic dishes in Huaiyang cuisine is that they look inconspicuous on the surface, but when you taste them, you will feel amazing.

"Yes, Xiao Chu, please tell me carefully. This dish feels very hot when you hold it, but why does it seem like there is no heat at all?

You don't know, I almost got burned just now. "

Teacher Jiang now began to have some premonitions that the dish Xiao Chu made might actually work.

“Haha, this is the first characteristic of this dish, that is, it doesn’t look hot at all, but you only know how hot the tofu is when you eat it!
Only in this way can a huge psychological contrast and surprise be created, and it can also bring a huge impact to people's hearts, making them understand why they cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry. "

Chu Yunfeng explained the principle of this dish, which was also the reason why he chose this dish, that is, to let such a sudden contrast shock Mr. Wei's heart.

"How did you do it? I see you didn't put any seasoning in it. Why did it have such an effect?"

The person who was most curious about this matter was actually Peng Yue. As a chef, he didn't understand Chu Yunfeng's deeper intention in making this dish.

And even the principle of sealing the heat, I didn't understand.

"What did I put in when I was about to start the pot?" Chu Yunfeng reminded Peng Yue with a slight smile.

"at last.
let me see.
It seems like lard? "

Peng Yue had been carefully observing Chu Yunfeng's cooking, so he immediately remembered it when he recalled it.

"Bingo! It's the lard that seals the temperature of the soup, so it doesn't look hot at all, but as soon as you put it in your mouth, you'll know how powerful it is."

As soon as Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, everyone heard a "scream" coming from the yard.

"Ouch, why is it so hot?" came the old man's exclamation, and everyone heard the "amazing" surprise.

"Let me just say that you are old, and you are afraid of getting hot things when you eat them. When I was in the army, there were many more hot things than this. Have you ever seen anyone scream like you?
Such a small bowl of food has no heat at all. What do you think it will be like?Is it a shame?

Let me teach you, don’t yell and scream all day long, a small bowl of tofu soup can surprise you.”

In fact, Mr. Wei had already smelled the aroma from this bowl, especially the fresh aroma of the crucian carp soup. After the coriander was heated, the smell was even more striking.

Moreover, there was tofu in the soup, which made Mr. Wei even more "itchy".

Seeing that the old man was so burned that he seemed speechless, I felt a little depressed secretly, thinking that he was probably lying to me.

If you still want to "tease" yourself like this even though you know you have no appetite, then try it yourself and expose his lies.

Mr. Wei picked up a spoonful, demonstrated to the old man, and immediately put it all into his mouth.

"Oh, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot."

Mr. Wei said several hot words in succession, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of the old man.

But then, the old man laughed, continued to pick up the spoon and started eating, without any sign of surrender in his expression.

Seeing this, Old Wei also made the same movements as the old man
