Chapter 9 Tofu Carving

The dishes are freshly cooked, but a lot of preparations have been done in advance. There are many time-consuming dishes in the Man Han Banquet, and this time in the evening alone is not enough. Shen Long quickly started to prepare the first main course.

"The first main dish, Hongmei Zhuxiang, is a Hunan dish. Boil the pigeon eggs and remove the yellow, fill them with lean ham, dried shrimps, mushrooms, scallops, etc.; then remove the shells and deep-fry the prawns into pearls. plate." Shen Long introduced while cooking, the Man-Han banquet included the essence of many cuisines, including the classic dishes of the eight major cuisines.

"The pigeon eggs are only that big, and you still need to remove the yellow and stuff them? This is very difficult!" The diners all stared wide-eyed, planning to see how Shen Long would operate.

Shen Long rubbed the pigeon eggs between his ten fingers, and the egg shells were all peeled off, and then the knife in his right hand flashed a few cuts, and several yolks of pigeon eggs the size of corn kernels appeared on the chopping board, these diners were stunned. I didn't see how Shen Long did it.

"Hey, this is really a great deal! Fortunately, I didn't go shopping with my girlfriend today, or I would have missed it." In the eyes of some diners, food is more important than girlfriends.

Soon, this plate of red plum and pearl incense was ready and sent to the private room. In the middle of the plate were fried golden red shrimp balls, surrounded by a circle of white pigeon eggs. The shrimp balls were as red as plums, and the pigeon eggs were as white as pearls. This is probably how Hongmei Zhuxiang got its name.

Careful diners counted, and there were exactly ten pigeon eggs and shrimp balls, and everyone could get one. Bring it to your mouth and taste it.

"The shrimp balls are delicious, and the pigeon eggs are rich in flavors. Not only do they have the taste of sea rice and ham, but they seem to be cooked in old hen stew. Now few chefs are willing to work so hard." Some diners He closed his eyes comfortably, and soon became depressed again, "It's just that the portion is too small, and I don't even want to have a second bite."

"The authentic Hongmei Zhuxiang should be twenty-four pigeon eggs and twenty-four shrimp balls. It's just that there are a lot of dishes prepared today, so everyone should try it. There are still many delicious dishes in the future." Shen Long explained road.

"The second main dish, Kung Pao Hare, is cooked with European hares that can run at a speed of 72 kilometers per hour. The lean meat accounts for more than 95%, so you don't have to worry about high cholesterol." Both are good, after all, during the Qianlong period, there was no way to eat European hares.

"The third main dish, anchovy shark's fin, put the shark's fin, old hen, minced ham, and pork together and stew twice for five hours each time; then spread chicken oil on the spoon, smash in quail eggs and steam in a cage; Put the shark’s fin on a plate to form an anchovies, and use steamed quail eggs as anchovy eyes.” This dish is prepared in the morning.

"Wow, I don't want to eat this dish." As soon as the dish was on the table, everyone took out their mobile phones and cameras and snapped pictures. One hundred and twenty likes.

Seeing this scene, Shen Long smiled, what he wanted was such an effect, so long hard work was not in vain! People in the circle of friends will definitely ask where this is eaten when they see it, and pass it on to the other. I believe it will not take long for this restaurant to worry about business.

After posting in the circle of friends, the diners stared blankly at the anchovy fin, whether to eat or not, this is a question, if you eat it, I am afraid it will destroy this perfect picture, but if you don’t eat it, the scent will drill into your nose for a while, it is really delicious Can't help it.

"Eat it! I can't bear it if I don't eat any more!" After all, the appetite prevailed, and the phoenix tail disappeared without a trace after hearing the clang of the plates.

"Let's take a break first and have some snacks, bean noodles, pastry, and milk corner." The Man-Han Banquet is not like ordinary banquets where all the dishes are piled up on the table and eaten in one meal, but the appetizers, main dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes Vegetables, snacks, dried fruits, and candied fruit come in turns, and they are divided into meals, one for each small table.

The meal sharing system is too troublesome and wasteful to cook.

All Shen Long changed to a large table, and the process of serving food was based on the practice of the old man and Han banquet, and then improved according to the situation.

These two snacks are also exquisitely made. They are piled on the plate like works of art, and they have gained a lot of praise in the circle of friends. Almost everyone's mobile phone is ringing. Don't ask, it must be watching I went to the circle of friends to ask which restaurant I ate at.

"Eight Treasure Wild Duck, using high-quality wild ducks raised in the wild as raw materials, with fresh ginkgo, red dates, Gorgon fruit and high-quality shiitake mushrooms, ham, pine nuts, duck gizzards, glutinous rice and other "eight treasures" fillings from Taihu farmers, stuffed duck belly, served Steam in a cage for ten minutes." While they were eating dim sum and posting to Moments, Shen Long had already started cooking the next dish.

"Lianpod tofu, use tofu to make lotus pods, green beans to make lotus seeds..."

"Three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, cooked with chicken breast, shrimp, and eggs..."

"Shanzhen bracken, wild bracken from Shouyang Mountain, fermented with sea rice water, steamed with cooking wine..."

"Fried Golden Cake, Dajiujia, Lotus Roll, Roasted Deer Preserved..." One after another, the sound of mobile phones and chopsticks can be heard endlessly, and all the diners have been satisfied with their appetite and vanity like never before.

"The next dish, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea! This dish adopts the traditional tofu carving technique, using tofu to carve out the shape of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea..." Feeling that he had almost finished eating, Shen Long showed his unique skill.

Pick up the tofu and put it into the water, and carve it carefully with a carving knife in your hand, and carve out lifelike immortals. When this dish is served on the table, everyone loses their voices.

"Isn't this too realistic?!" The diners stood up one after another, staring at the Eight Immortals carved from tofu, with their eyes wide open. How can it be carved so finely?"

However, it is indeed made of tofu. It is not only beautiful but also delicious. After taking the photo, I dug a spoonful and put it in my mouth. The tofu melted in my mouth. An unprecedented taste made my taste buds explode instantly People couldn't help but sighed, "I thought this dish was good because of the skill of the knife, but after eating it, I realized that the skill of the knife is nothing compared to the deliciousness of tofu."

The lotus seed porridge is finished, and then the fruit plate and Dongting Biluochun are served for the guests to digest, and the meal is considered as finished.

Shen Long walked into the private room, and before he had time to speak, he heard several diners shouting at the same time, "Boss, do you have a dinner here at noon tomorrow? Reserve a table for me."

"Two tables at noon and evening tomorrow, I will bring my whole family to eat for a whole day."

"Just now I was worried about how to receive big customers tomorrow. Needless to say, they must be satisfied when they come here."
