Speaking of this topic, everyone became more talkative.
"If I didn't experience it myself, I wouldn't believe it either. Boss Yuan knows everyone's taste so well. He even knows how to taste after eating it," said Wang Hong.
"This is what I think Boss Yuan is best at. Take me as an example. I don't like to eat bitterness. In The Kitchen God, I have never eaten anything that was particularly bitter. Previously, I ordered a rather famous Tangerine Duck and it didn't taste bitter at all," said Manman.
"So Head Chef Yuan is actually so amazing. This is unbelievable," Hu Qingshan felt like he was listening to a heavenly book.
To be honest, Hu Qingshan wasn't young even though he looked young. He was in his thirties. As a somewhat famous cartoonist, he had been to many places. However, he had never met someone like Yuan Zhou before.
This time, he was here to visit the Painting God's Hut and find inspiration for his new book. At the same time, he wanted to get in touch with his senior leader, Wu Hai.
It was unexpected for him to become a fan of Yuan Zhou not long after he arrived. Therefore, he became very focused when he heard about Yuan Zhou's deeds.
When people were talking, if there was someone who was very supportive and even echoed their words from time to time, it would definitely arouse people's interest in talking. Just like Hu Qingshan. When Tang Xi and the other two saw Hu Qingshan's thirst for knowledge, they couldn't stop talking and started talking non-stop.
But then again, delicious food was more attractive.
"Let's taste the breakfast first." Man Man couldn't bear it anymore. She licked her lips and said.
"We can talk about it after eating," agreed Wang Hong.
Hu Qingshan and Tang Xi nodded vigorously. Idols were very important, but the food made by idols was also very important.
Therefore, the four of them picked up their spoons in unison and prepared to dig in.
In order to match the big black bowl, the spoon was also black and had a long and thin handle. Of course, the spoon wasn't small either. It was the right size to eat tofu pudding.
As a dish that could be praised by the great writer and foodie Su Dongpo, the Tofu Pudding Steamed Bun naturally had its own uniqueness.
This kind of delicacy that ingeniously blended the flavors of the North and the South into one to form a unique flavor naturally tasted quite good. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to endure through the vicissitudes of history.
Although the four of them ate together, they ate in different ways. For example, Tang Xi scooped up the soybean milk that she had been longing for. For example, Manman carefully removed the red chili oil and chives on the tofu pudding so that every part of the jade-like tofu pudding was covered in red chili oil, as if it had been painted with a bright color.
As for Wang Hong, it was much simpler. He directly scooped a piece of tofu pudding, dipped it in chili oil, chives, and other seasonings, and sent it into his mouth. The chili oil in Qin Province was completely different from that in Sichuan Province.
The mellow aroma and spiciness blended together. Because of the aroma of oil, not only did the chili seem more mellow, but it also made the aroma of the sesame even more prominent. Together with the smooth and smooth tofu pudding, it was neither too tender nor too overcooked. Everything seemed to be just right.
"So this is the taste of the tofu pudding in Qin cuisine. Compared to the soft and tender tofu pudding, I feel this tofu pudding that is neither too soft nor too hard suits my taste better. I hope I can eat it often in the future." Although Wang Hong knew it was unlikely, it didn't stop him from thinking so.
Hu Qingshan's actions were different from the others. He carefully swept the white sugar that hadn't melted on the tofu pudding into the soybean milk at the side. Then, he carefully stirred the sugar in the gaps to accelerate the melting of the sugar.
After confirming that the sugar had melted, Hu Qingshan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and prepared to eat.
He scooped up a spoonful of the white and clean tofu pudding and put it into his mouth. First, he felt an extremely strong bean fragrance, followed by wisps of sweetness. The originally faint bean smell was immediately overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of the sweetness, leaving only the pure bean fragrance and sweetness. The smooth texture made it crumble with a single bite. However, the crumbled part needed to be bitten lightly with the teeth before it could be completely broken. It formed a sharp contrast with the texture of the tofu pudding that melted instantly in the mouth. It was very delicious.
"That's the taste. It's so delicious. It's both sweet and fragrant. I've never thought I could eat such an authentic taste in Chengdu. It's so good." Hu Qingshan squinted his eyes and appeared quite intoxicated.
The intoxicated expression didn't mean that his actions were slow. Hu Qingshan ate the sweet tofu pudding one spoonful at a time. Very soon, the tofu pudding was bottomed out. Gradually, the floating golden leaves revealed their original appearance.
Due to the soaking of the soybean milk, it appeared a little swollen compared to when it first entered the bun. However, it didn't swell much. It still looked golden and was as light as the withered yellow leaves.
Hu Qingshan rotated the spoon clockwise again. After a few rounds, he stopped. Then, he scooped up a piece of steamed bun that looked like a golden leaf and sent it into his mouth.
Although the surface of the bun had softened after soaking in the soybean milk, it didn't affect its original crispy texture. Now that the sweet soybean milk was added, the bun was moist and soft. Moreover, the inside of the bun was very tenacious. Even after coming into contact with the soybean milk, it didn't soften. Instead, it was very chewy. The texture was rich, and the sweetness brought out the fragrance of wheat.
"As expected of Head Chef Yuan's craftsmanship. This steamed bun is way too delicious. Even after soaking in the soybean milk, it didn't become soft. On the contrary, it was very tenacious. It's been a long time since I've eaten such an authentic steamed bun," Hu Qingshan sighed with emotion.
The steamed buns of Qin Province were completely different from the steamed buns of other places. Because they were thicker than an inch and had the shape of a wok, it was commonly known as "wokui".
Moreover, slicing the steamed bun was a very particular matter. The thickness must be uniform. If it was too thick, the soybean milk wouldn't be able to soak it and the taste wouldn't be able to enter it. If it was too thin, it would break when one ate it. None of these were desirable.
With Yuan Zhou's knife skills, he naturally wouldn't have to worry about this. The steamed buns he sliced were even thinner than the thinnest steamed bun that Hu Qingshan had ever eaten. However, he didn't have to worry about the steamed bun breaking when he ate it.
If Hu Qingshan didn't chew it bite by bite, it wouldn't break. This was a test of Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.
In any case, Hu Qingshan ate it from start to finish. Other than the soft and chewy taste and the mellow aftertaste, there wasn't anything bad about it.
The bowl of Steamed Tofu Pudding Steamed Bun was really big, slightly bigger than a bowl of noodles. It wasn't that the mouth of the bowl was big, but rather that the bowl was very deep. Naturally, the bigger the bowl, the more food it could hold. After eating a full bowl, one would naturally be full.
However, this was a delicacy made by Yuan Zhou. Naturally, after the customers ate it, their first reaction was that it was too little. Regardless of whether their stomachs were full or not, their mouths were definitely not full.
However, even Hu Qingshan, who had only been here for a few times, knew the rules of this restaurant. Therefore, apart from complaining that it was too little and that they couldn't eat their fill, the customers were still very agile. They cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and made room for the customers who were waiting behind them.
The breakfast time was short and beautiful. Although many people came here because of the discount, the quantity of only 99 servings wouldn't change because of the increase in the number of customers.
Therefore, many people who didn't have breakfast directly finished their breakfast at the roadside stalls and planned to directly stay on Taoxi Road to wait for the lunch time.
Since the breakfast time was over, lunch definitely wouldn't be far away.
Just after the breakfast time of The Kitchen God, Li Li finally posted the content of today's activities to warm up the atmosphere.
In order to keep pace with Yuan Zhou, Li Li's current content was also written with a colorful sign. Although the words weren't colorful, it was still a little inharmonious with the high-end atmosphere of the western restaurant.
Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou discovered a secret of Li Li!
