The longer the food was left on the table, the more the aroma lingered on the tip of the nose and did not dissipate.
Bai Na coughed lightly with his hand covering his mouth and said, "Respecting food is what we should do as artists. So I suggest we start eating."
Bai Na's words struck a chord in the hearts of all the artists present. Everyone began to chime in.
"Yeah, we should respect Head Chef Yuan's food."
"Yes, we should."
"Respecting food is the same as respecting one's own painting. This is what we should do."
"Indeed. Delicacies are worthy of our respect. So let's eat first before discussing," Feng Ti said with a nod.
After they agreed, they all looked at the Pipa Tofu in front of them.
The steam from the Pipa Tofu curled up like smoke. It was unknown what Yuan Zhou had done, but the steam had been surrounding the entire plate.
The steam gave the entire boat a feeling of being immersed in a vast expanse of smoke. And the beauties and aristocrats all looked more divine.
"This is really magical," Bai Na sighed with emotion.
"The steam reminds me of the Chinese painting. It's the kind of ink landscape painting that only has one color," Feng Ti said.
However, this did not affect his appreciation of the beauty of landscape paintings, which was why he said that.
"That's the feeling," Bai Na nodded affirmatively.
"I really can't bear to destroy such a beautiful scene," Feng Ti sighed, but she still picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
At this time, Bai Na said, "That's right, Feng Ti. I also can't bear to destroy such a beautiful scene. So I have a suggestion."
"What is it?" Feng Ti turned to look at Bai Na.
For some reason, Bai Na suddenly saw a trace of innocence on Feng Ti's face. This made Bai Na feel slightly relieved. He said calmly, "I suggest we keep this as a reference. I won't eat it first. What do you think?"
"That's not good, is it? Don't you want to try it? I have checked the rules here. Every dish can only be ordered once. Even Mr. Wu is not an exception, "Feng Ti was a little hesitant, but also a little tempted.
After all, it would be a pity to eat up such a beautiful scenery. It would be good if he could admire and study it for a while. However, he felt like he was taking advantage of her for free, which made Feng Ti feel bad.
"Never mind. For the sake of art, this is an acceptable sacrifice. I'm just the last one to eat. I can do it." Bai Na put on a righteous look.
This made the other painters feel touched, and they all spoke up.
"How about this? We can't let Mister Baina sacrifice himself either. Why don't we each keep a portion for research?" An artist first suggested this idea.
However, Bai Na immediately shook his head and said, "That won't do. If we all stay, we will take up a few of Head Chef Yuan's seats. It won't be good if the customers behind us wait for too long."
"That's true. I was wrong." The artist immediately nodded.
"Indeed, we can't do that. I think we can do it this way. Mister Baina can try some other dishes first. How about that?"
Actually, there was nothing wrong with this suggestion. After all, Bai Na had ordered an Egg Fried Rice and it was already on the table. However, Bai Na had intentionally not mentioned this matter. Now that it was brought up, he could only nod and say, "Yes, we can do that."
But when he said that, Bai Na's eyes never left the Pipa Tofu. This was too obvious.
At this time, Feng Ti hesitated for quite a while before saying, "How about this, Bai Na, try a mouthful of my Pipa first. That way, you will have tasted it."
Feng Ti's suggestion gained everyone's approval. Then, the other painters started to offer their Pipa Tofu.
"That's a good idea. I can give up one of the beauties."
"Yes, I can give up some of the gravy too."
Everyone took out some of their own dishes one after another. It was just that the amount was not much, but they were already very satisfied to take it for free. After all, it was free, wasn't it?
Because of everyone's generosity, this matter ended. Bai Na's goal had been achieved.
As a matter of fact, it wasn't that these painters weren't smart. It was just that they wanted to be the last to eat the Pipa Tofu. If they waited for them to finish their research, the dishes would probably get cold. And they knew that Chinese dishes should be eaten hot.
Therefore, they naturally felt that Bai Na had sacrificed a lot. Obviously, Bai Na had done more research. For example, he knew that the dishes in this restaurant were said to have a special heat preservation technique. It was said that someone had done an experiment and found that the dishes at the beginning of the meal were still hot when the meal time ended.
Sometimes, it was good to pay more attention to unexpected news. Bai Na thought of that when he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat the Pipa Tofu from Feng Ti's bowl.
"This piece is reserved for you. The others won't do." Feng Ti was still a principled person. She took out a piece of Pipa Tofu.
This was the soul of this dish. It could be said that she was very generous.
"Thank you, Feng Ti, my friend." After Bai Na said that smilingly, he raised the chopsticks and spoon to the plate.
Actually, Bai Na's chopsticks were very ordinary, so he used the spoon as an aid. Actually, he was just using the chopsticks to push the Pipa Tofu into the spoon.
For this dish, the spoon provided by Yuan Zhou was the usual ceramic spoon. The Pipa Tofu just happened to fill the spoon.
"You're welcome. Let's taste it." Feng Ti nodded her head and then started to eat.
Bai Na didn't stand on ceremony either. He straightforwardly brought the spoon to his mouth and prepared to eat.
When he brought it to his mouth, he found the Pipa Tofu was extraordinarily tender. The color was a beautiful light yellow and there was also a trace of wood-like texture. It indeed looked like a Pipa.
However, the fragrance flowed into his brain through his nose and let Bai Na know it wasn't a small Pipa, but food.
"Awoo." Bai Na took a bite of almost half of the Pipa Tofu. After all, the spoon wasn't big. If he didn't want to taste it carefully, he would have eaten it up in one bite.
"Oh my god. The texture is really amazing. It's like a fresh and tender egg or the skin of a beauty." Bai Na couldn't help exclaiming.
Actually, he wanted to describe the tenderness of the Pipa Tofu, but he couldn't find a suitable word. Therefore, he made such an analogy.
Very soon, however, Bai Na couldn't say anything because he had already started to chew.
The Pipa Tofu was made from fresh prawn meat that had just left the water and then was mixed with minced chicken meat and the tofu made by Yuan Zhou himself. After stirring it clockwise, it was steamed.
The fresh prawn meat was mixed with the soft and smooth tofu, giving the tofu a crisp and sweet texture. The minced chicken meat enhanced the freshness of the meat and complemented the freshness of the aquatic prawns.
The tender and tender texture of the tofu balanced the two ingredients and brought out an even more wonderful and extreme taste.
"This is really amazing." Bai Na couldn't help exclaiming loudly. Then, he ate the last half of the Pipa Tofu.
"As expected, my efforts didn't go to waste." Bai Na ate the extra delicacies happily and gave full marks to his performance just now.
