The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 183 The food tasting conference is in full swing

The third dish is Thousand Layer Tofu.

"There's not a single hard dish." Zhu Qingyou suddenly realized that they were all vegetarian dishes when she was cutting tofu. She said, "There's not a single dish with meat."

"I can't help it. I didn't know how to control the heat back then. Do you know how long you need to fry the meat?" Assistant Ling was also helpless. "If you fry it too long, the meat will be tough. If you fry it too tender, the meat will not be cooked at all."

"As far as I know, the only way to cook meat is to blanch it to make it cooked. I was going to cook a hard dish, but the person passed away before I could finish it."

Chef You was silent: "..."

Stir-fried meat dishes are indeed difficult, and the original author was right not to do it easily without anyone teaching her. For example, when she first cooked, she had no experience and ended up stir-frying dried meat.

She changed the subject abruptly: "Thousand-layer tofu has sweet, spicy, and salty flavors. Which one did you make back then?"

"..." Assistant Ling remained silent.

Chef You suddenly felt something was wrong, "You didn't forget, did you? I only bought four boxes, and I defrosted one box at a time. If I stir-fried them all, there would only be eight dishes."

Assistant Ling was not good at changing the subject, so she asked, "Which version do you want?"

"The version from my memory, without thickening."

Zhu Qingyou naturally had most of the memories clear. When she was a child, her original body didn't even know how to thicken the sauce. As for the recipe for the fawn, it was listed as a top secret in her memory and she didn't have the authority to do so.

Simply put, I know it happened, but I can't remember it.

While the two were talking, the thawed tofu had been cut and put into water for later use, just slightly controlling the water when using it.

"According to my memory and the recipe, there are two flavors of thousand-layer tofu, but I can't tell which one I made back then."

Chef You was incredulous: "You didn't remember them separately?"

Assistant Ling said guiltily, "Next to the spicy one is the sweet one, let's try them one by one. Four times to start, with a little luck, you might succeed in one try."

No matter how hard she tried to recall, she could not remember that when she took notes, she had written both the spicy and sweet versions together.

Chef You was helpless: "You command, I will do it."

As of now, that's all it can do.

"Wash and slice some green and red peppers. Cut them diagonally to make them look prettier." Assistant Ling gave the instructions online.

"What kind of pepper?" Sister You asked, and Assistant Ling replied: "It doesn't matter. When there is no pepper, I just use chili powder instead."

"Slice the green peppers and shred the red peppers. You can also cut them diagonally to make them look pretty. Don't use fruit peppers. Regular colored peppers look prettier and don't taste spicy."

Sister You’s knife skills have been honed over the years, and in just a few minutes, she had cut two servings of peppers into a full bowl’s worth.

"Add peanut oil and a little salt and stir-fry until hot. Then add two kinds of chili peppers and stir-fry until half cooked. Add the tofu slices."

Chef You skillfully put oil into the wok. Assistant Ling watched and directed from the first-person perspective: "No, after adding oil and salt, put in the tofu slices first and fry them until they are puffed."

According to Assistant Ling, after the tofu slices are puffed, a small amount of water needs to be added to cover the bottom of the pot and fry, and then chili, soy sauce and vinegar can be added.

Then, cook on low heat for two to three minutes before serving.

Assistant Ling commented: "You can add more water later, the tofu slices will stick to the pan, so just follow my previous instructions, or add more oil."

"For the sweet version of Thousand Layer Tofu, a little white sugar and brown sugar are needed to color it when adding seasonings later."

"It's spicy enough, just according to this standard. There's one condiment missing, but I can't remember which one it is."

After she finished speaking, she opened the kitchen door and asked the person testing the dishes outside to come in and serve the dishes. "Thousand Layer Tofu!"

Assistant Ling walked to the seasoning area and tasted each one, trying to find the brown-yellow powder in her memory. After trying the last one, she finally found it. She said to Sister You in her heart, "This is it. Add a little less and I'll taste it after you're done."

After that, there was a long process of adjustment and tasting. Finally, when it was done for the fourth time, Assistant Ling said, "Let's go with the first version. The thousand-layer tofu has been made many times and adjusted many times. The first version tastes closer to the original. It was the first time I made it, so there will be many immature parts, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

The food tasting team brought out four portions of Thousand Layer Tofu from the kitchen one after another, and found out about the next dish:

Tomato and Chinese toon noodles!

In a few minutes, a new conflict is about to break out between Chef You and Assistant Ling. Welcome to watch the food tasting competition in full swing.

Next is halftime.

When the chef needs a break, he puts all the ingredients in a fresh-keeping box so that the flavor of the ingredients can remain at the moment they are put in.

The assistant also needs to give his taste buds some relief so that he can correct the taste of the meal later.

The people who tasted the food needed to take a short break before continuing to taste the food. (Are you sure you are not using them as guinea pigs?)

Halftime is over and the game officially begins. (Race against time to successfully make the five delicious dishes in your memory before the deer cub wakes up.)
Assistant Ling came online: "Cut the tomatoes into pieces, no need to peel them, and put them in a bowl for later use. Add more chopped tomatoes and put a small half plate.

Heat oil in a pan, but do not add any animal oil as it will affect the taste.

Add peanut oil, a little salt, stir-fry until hot, and add tomato cubes. Because the tomatoes we bought are sour in taste and some are suitable for juice, the mixture of the two is the best seasoning. Therefore, just add soy sauce or a little dark soy sauce to adjust the color after frying, stir-fry and serve. ”

There was a sizzling sound, which was the sound made by the juicy tomatoes being poured into the pot and colliding with the oil.

Off-site commentary: Please note that when the oil reaches the hottest point, do not add water immediately, otherwise the pan will explode. Therefore, you can add vegetables or seasonings after it starts to smoke slightly, and there is no need to wait until the oil is completely boiled.

By heating it to the extreme, the chef in charge has no rich experience, and the collision between water and oil causes oil to splash, which will be very painful if it gets on the skin.

In addition, please do not watch closely when the chef is cooking. The chef is experienced and may be fine, but bystanders nearby are very likely to be in trouble.

"No need to wash the pot. After taking out all the dishes, add warm water." Assistant Ling spoke clearly to prevent Chef You from mishearing or making mistakes. "Wait for the water to boil."

Chef You turned down the heat before serving the dish, so it didn't matter if she slowed down now, she had enough time.

Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, Sister You turned up the heat, and soon the water boiled.

"Add dried noodles. Different noodles have different thicknesses and take different times to cook. You should know this. I don't need to explain it."

“Add the appropriate amount of noodles and stir with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together.”

There were many people in the food tasting group, and Chef You didn't even look at what kind of noodles they were holding. He took out two tubes and put them in the pot.

For them who are in the growth stage, if the food does not have sufficient spiritual energy, no matter how much they eat, it will soon be broken down into impurities and a small amount of spiritual energy stored in the body and into the meridians.

The same goes for the elders, so the ingredients must be full of spiritual energy, otherwise they will all be big eaters.

"One to two minutes after putting in the noodles, add a small amount of toon leaves." After Assistant Ling said this, she saw through her vision that Chef You took a handful of fresh and washed toon leaves and prepared to put them into the pot.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Chef You held a handful of Chinese toon in his hand and stopped in the air. She asked, "What's wrong?"

With the other hand, he found the switch and turned down the heat.

There is a bad feeling.

"Don't use fresh Chinese toon leaves! Even after blanching, fresh Chinese toon leaves still taste bad. What's more, you haven't blanched them yet, so there's still a lot of water in them."

"Then I'll blanch the water now." Sister You said, turning down the heat again and keeping it at the lowest setting.

She put down the toon leaves, took out another pot and placed it on the stove, preparing to blanch them.

Chef You was confident: "I have never picked this before. There are leaves and buds. The buds and leaves of Chinese toon are stored separately in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping layer. I can find whichever one you want."

"..." A long silence undoubtedly explained everything.

Assistant Ling adjusted her mood and replied, "The Chinese toon in the tomato and Chinese toon noodles must be pickled."

"Are you kidding me?" Chef You still had some sense left and asked calmly.

"Are you kidding me?" Ayase said desperately, "You're not unprepared, are you? I asked you before if you had bought all the ingredients, and you said you had."

Chef You was speechless: "..."

The noodles in the pot are boiling. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that there are more and more noodles. The water that originally occupied half of the pot is gradually decreasing under the attack of the noodles.

Qingyou changed to a water spoon and added half a spoonful of cold water into the pot. The tense situation eased again, but her mood still couldn't stop falling.

"Time is tight, and I've done my best to find fresh Chinese toon in the supermarket." Chef You couldn't hold it in any longer, "You didn't tell me you wanted to pickle it!"

"It's cooking right now, where can I find pickles for you?"

"Can't fresh ones be used?"

Assistant Ling didn't reply, and Chef You's mood fell to the bottom again.

"I was looking at the condiment list at the time, and I didn't pay attention to what I hadn't bought. I didn't realize it happened." Assistant Ling sighed, "Try to save it!"

“Do you have any pickles at home?”

"I have to find it now."

The noodles in the pot were completely cooked, the water was boiling again, Chef You turned off the fire, and she shouted outside: "Come in!"

He was in a bad mood and his voice was cold.

After Qingxuan came in, Sister You pointed casually and said, "The noodles in the pot are yours, eat them all, don't leave any leftovers!"

"Not much spiritual energy, understand?"

"Call one more person over. There's still a large plate of fried tomatoes left that can be used to mix with the noodles."

When Qingxuan brought a pot of noodles back to the table, everyone in the food tasting group was stunned, and he repeated his sister's original words.

"This seems to be a souvenir that Lao Ye brought back from his travels a few days ago. It's vermicelli noodles, and it's said that they can multiply indefinitely."

Siyuan looked at the pot of noodles that was still growing. He wanted to leave the table, but was held back by people on both sides. He said, "Even if there is not much spiritual energy, I heard that some monks who practice food and those who love food have challenged and all failed."

A group of people here hesitated and did not dare to take action.

In the kitchen, Chef You and assistant Ling worked together to rummage through boxes and cabinets, looking for pickled vegetables.

"Eat!" Huahua stood up, picked up the bowl, scooped up most of the tomatoes, and then picked up a few chopsticks of vermicelli without adding any water.

The tomatoes take up most of the bowl, and it looks like a lot, but no water is added, and the noodles only make up a small portion.

Zhe'er was the second one to take action. When the bowl was two or three centimeters away, she picked up another piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into the colorful bowl in a flash.

Huahua was stunned when she saw the extra noodles.

"you!"

Zhe Er added a few pieces of tomato into the bowl, filling it completely and even overflowing.

When he came to his senses and wanted to return the noodles to the other party, he found that they were nowhere to be found. The other party's bowl was even fuller than his.

"Eat it!" Zhe Er sighed, "In life, you have to dare to try new things!" She took out the digestive tablets that she had prepared long ago from her pocket and put them on the table.

A box of digestive tablets, taking four to five tablets, can immediately break down the food you eat, breaking it down into spiritual energy and impurities.

Impurities will be excreted from the body along with the decomposition of the medicine.

Safe and harmless, this is a special version of digestive tablets and is not suitable for ordinary people.

The essence of digestive tablets is to break down the food in the stomach into spiritual energy and impurities. If an ordinary person who does not practice Taoism accidentally eats one, you will feel like you have not eaten anything and will not be able to help but eat again.

Besides, the taste of Yayuan brand digestive tablets is very good. After eating one, I want to eat more. Then, just like Mengpo Soup, I have one after another.

There are also ordinary versions of digestive tablets, but they are not as strong as the special versions. They have no side effects, so it doesn't matter even if you take too much.

In the eyes of the monks, this is a healthy snack to kill time and also increase appetite.

Because the main material of the digestion tablets is a certain spiritual herb, orange peel and licorice are added. Foods rich in spiritual energy have healing properties and can heal hidden injuries without hurting the body.

Even if an ordinary person eats too many digestive tablets, he will just feel that his appetite has increased. However, for a cultivator, at the same time, his appetite has increased and the circulation of spiritual energy in his body will also speed up.

Therefore, this type of digestive tablet has another function, which is to be used for people with blocked meridians to clear the meridians and make the spiritual energy flow smoothly.

Rumor has it that Jiuwei's Yayuan's main business is the hospital, and it has also researched a lot of medical supplies, most of which are made with secret recipes using spiritual herbs and the Jiuwei clan's unique healing abilities.

All products have passed the review, among which the digestion tablets are the most popular.

The taste is also the most delicious among all the digestive tablets. People of all ages will love it.

Zhe'er had taken some digestive tablets while waiting, so it was no problem for him to finish this full bowl of noodles.

Seeing that the others didn't move, she said, "You probably don't want to see Sister You angry, right?"

"When you went to serve the dishes earlier, you should have also felt the unusual aura of Sister You."

That was it, and the rest of the people took action.

With the help of digestive tablets, it is not a problem at all. At most, you will feel tired from chewing and eat very slowly.

"We share the same hardships!" Siyuan swallowed the noodles in his mouth and expressed the thoughts of everyone in the food tasting group. There were too many people rushing to eat the food before, so he didn't eat much. It didn't matter if he ate a few bowls of noodles and took some digestive tablets.

The only difference is active or passive.

Actively, use spiritual energy and magic to dissolve the food in the stomach, breaking it down into spiritual energy and impurities; passively, use the assistance of digestion tablets to use the spiritual power and functions contained in the digestion tablets to dissolve the problem of food accumulation in the stomach.

Even with the digestive tablets, their eating speed still slowed down. They felt a little tired, and the delicious happiness was accompanied by a little pain.

The hearts of the food tasting group were highly unified at this moment:

As long as someone dared to leave, they would all work together to hold each other back and make him stay so that they could share the hard times together.

It's impossible to let him enjoy his happy time alone.

There are no restrictions on the use of digestive tablets produced by Yayuan, but other brands of digestive tablets have their own ways of taking and restrictions.

So read the instructions!
No matter what kind of medicine it is, even if it is a digestive tablet, please read the instructions or follow the doctor's advice before taking it.

Even if the food cooked by someone with a talent for dark cuisine looks delicious and tastes good, you should not try it. It's like an undercooked mushroom soup, which will kill everyone and cause food poisoning.

The cooking skills of the young deer and the folded ear are just as described above. The folded ear is slightly better, but the food made by the young deer is inedible. If you eat it, you will get food poisoning and need to be given an IV.

To this day, I still admire my best friend who ate all the noodles I made, was on an IV drip for a whole day, and I was also on an IV drip.

This is why I have been postponing the update these days. If I hadn't made that bowl of noodles, I might have completed this week's update goal today. Unfortunately, I ate it myself, and it hurt for several days. Finally, I completed the update goal.

Next chapter: The food tasting conference is coming to an end
