Tofu pot was a famous dish in Cantonese cuisine. Naturally, there were many people who ordered it. In particular, there was a group of people in the restaurant led by Jiang Tang who liked to eat all kinds of bean products. Therefore, Xia Ma was quite familiar with this dish. However, the tofu pot he ate was made with scallops and tasted extremely delicious.
Xia Ma had carefully considered ordering this dish for Person. As long as one had eaten in the restaurant a few times, especially a top chef like Xia Ma, he would naturally notice that Yuan Zhou would adjust the taste of the dishes according to his personal taste.
After all, an outstanding chef needed a sharp tongue. The rest would be understood without any explanation. Therefore, Xia Ma wasn't worried that there would be meat in Person's tofu pot.
As expected, the dishes were eaten layer by layer. In addition to the crab flavor mushrooms, there was also the tea tree mushrooms. In the end, there was a layer of plump abalone mushrooms. After absorbing all the broth, each and every one of them looked glossy and smooth. With each bite, the juice flowed out. The taste was delicious and mellow.
Although Person didn't know that there was a complicated story behind this tofu pot, it didn't prevent him from appreciating the taste of this dish.
"There are so many varieties and tastes of vegetarian dishes. I can eat two plates of such dishes without curry. Can't Xia Ma order another serving?" Person said unwillingly.
He didn't eat the Red Braised Pork and fish head just now. However, he tasted something different from the mushrooms just now. They were very fresh and strong, not inferior to the smell of meat just now. Therefore, he really wanted to eat more. Maybe he wouldn't want to eat the meat just now.
As a vegetarian, he couldn't accept the fact that he craved meat.
"No, the restaurant has a rule that one person can only order the same dish once at the same time," Xia Ma said with certainty.
"Then can I order for my uncle? I haven't ordered it yet," Hans said at the side.
Young people were indeed quick-witted. When Hans heard Xia Ma's words and his uncle's intention, he immediately thought of a solution. The main reason was that he also wanted to eat it. He didn't eat to his heart's content just now.
He thought that the braised pork was already a rare delicacy, but he didn't expect that the simple tofu pot was actually so delicious. It was simply against common sense. In the past, he thought that his uncle had been a vegetarian since he was young, and that he had really missed out on a lot of good things. Now, Hans realized that he was an idiot. It was obvious that vegetarian dishes were so delicious, but he didn't know it before.
Hans secretly made up his mind to enrich his menu in the future by including both meat and vegetables. Only then would he be able to appreciate the charm of a complete cuisine.
"What you said seems to make sense. We can give it a try." Summer thought for a moment and said.
Then, what happened next opened the door to a new world for Xia Ma. Although it was refreshing to eat alone, and there was no one to snatch the food, this would cause him to be unable to eat the delicacies he wanted to eat a second time. It was a pity.
"Looks like I'll have to eat with Li Zhengguang and the others from time to time in the future. That way, I'll have more choices." After ordering the second serving of tofu, Xia Ma decided to change his previous method.
The Li Zhengguang and the others in Xia Ma's mind were several chefs from Thailand and South Korea, who were also famous chefs in Asia. They were also Xia Ma's acquaintances and he had met them several times in The Kitchen God.
It was possible to have a meal together with them. After all, Li Zhengguang had always wanted to invite Summer to join their Asian Chef Promotion Alliance.
The main purpose of this alliance was to learn some cooking skills of Yuan Zhou to improve their own strength. It couldn't be helped. Yuan Zhou had too few registered disciples and there were too many chefs who wanted to be his apprentices.
Therefore, someone suggested that they could gather together to study the videos circulated by Yuan Zhou together.
As the saying goes, one man's plan is short, but two men's plan is long. There would always be a way by brainstorming. One had to admit that the famous South Korean chef, Li Zhengguang, who proposed this idea at the beginning, was a talented person. So far, this alliance had included more than 50 chefs from more than 10 countries, including South Korea, North Korea, the Philippines, Laos, Vietnam and so on.
Although there were many people, it didn't mean that everyone was welcome. They had to pass a series of tests before they could join the alliance and enjoy some benefits, such as a detailed version of the menu information of The Kitchen God, all the awards Yuan Zhou had won and the videos of the competitions he had participated in, a Great Master's quotations and some other information. Moreover, they could have the opportunity to listen to the live lectures of Yuan Zhou's disciples.
As for the source of these information, it could only be said that where there was demand, there would be business.
Although there were so many good benefits, they still needed to pass the test to join the alliance. For the sake of fairness, Li Zhengguang almost changed the content of the test every time. Besides, there were also requirements for the chefs who could take part in the test. Only those who owned or were affiliated with a one-star restaurant or above in their own country were qualified to sign up and take part in the selection.
When Li Zhengguang saw Xia Ma, he wanted to invite him because Xia Ma was quite famous. Moreover, he couldn't miss out on India among the Asian countries.
The few times he saw Xia Ma, Xia Ma had invited him to have a meal together to strengthen their relationship. However, Xia Ma felt that if he didn't act fast enough when eating with so many people, he might end up eating less. Therefore, he refused without hesitation.
What Hans did today made Xia Ma feel that it was okay to occasionally have a meal with others.
There were a total of ten dishes. Even with the addition of one dish, there were only eleven dishes. It wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either. There were only three of them. In addition, they had eaten quite a lot of kebabs in the morning, which filled up their stomachs. Therefore, the three of them went out holding their stomachs.
"Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills are truly amazing. If there's a chance for Head Chef Yuan to host this year's Vegetarian Festival, it would definitely be the greatest achievement in the history of the association. Unfortunately, Head Chef Yuan doesn't have the time," Person said while walking, looking back at the restaurant with a reluctant expression.
"There's no need to praise Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills. However, Head Chef Yuan is very busy most of the time. He indeed doesn't have the time," said Xia Ma.
"He deserves his reputation. I'm going to tell Allen that I ate a lot of delicious dishes today. I'm sure he hasn't eaten them before," said Hans. He wanted to show off to his friends.
Previously, when Allen came back from China, he really talked about the dishes he had eaten and how they tasted. Moreover, he did it more than once. Most importantly, Hans was very willing to listen, but it was true that he would drool a lot every day.
Now that the tables had turned, it was finally his turn.
"You guys are going back tomorrow. At most, you can eat one more meal at night. You won't be able to eat more than a few dishes," said Xia Ma regretfully.
"Who said that? We are going back tomorrow. Nowadays, many things can be solved online. Let's do it online. Nowadays, communication is so advanced. There will always be a way. I've decided to stay here and experience the charm of China. When I go back, I'll write a book to introduce the vegetarian culture of China. This is the most important thing," said Person with a serious expression.
His expression was as solemn as ever, appearing very serious. With one look, one could tell that he was speaking the truth.
