Chapter 42 Food is the most important thing for people!

Tofu with meat?

The audience around him was stunned when they heard the boy's scream.

Can you still make tofu with meat?

When the girl heard this, she was a little disbelief and quickly scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

"oh!"

She covered her mouth in surprise.

After the smooth tofu flower entered the mouth, it melted on the tip of her tongue like cotton candy.

The rich fresh fragrance of the broth exploded like a bomb. She subconsciously closed her mouth and breathed through her nostrils.

But she felt that the breath she exhaled was full of the fragrance of broth.

Swallowed in one bite, she was amazed: "It smells so good! It's really a tofu made of meat!"

When everyone around was shocked when she heard that this was a tofu made of chicken!

"Can meat beans beans?"

"I can understand how to use meat to make beef noodles, how to use meat to make tofu? How did this be done?"

"Have you added some high-tech?"

"Emm...it should feel delicious..."

After hearing the boy and girl's exclamation, Gao Wenlin seemed to have thought of something. He stepped forward and looked at the tofu in the soup bucket, but became a little confused.

"That, boss, I'll give you one too."

He took out his cell phone and scanned Li Yi for a copy of the money.

When there was a customer, Li Yi served a bowl and handed it to him.

After taking the meat beans, Gao Wenlin gently pulled the bowl with a spoon and floated lightly on the broth, like a cloud, and sniffed it down.

Then he scooped up a piece with a spoon, took it to his eyes, looked it carefully, and then put it in his mouth.

When the tofu flower was in his mouth, he did not scream, but just closed his eyes and savored the taste.

After a while, he let out a breath and said with certainty: "It's indeed chickpea."

A fan next to him heard his words and asked in confusion: "Chicken beans? Isn't it a meat bean?"

Gao Wenlin himself didn't dare to confirm it, so he asked Li Yi: "Boss, are you chickpea among the top ten classic Sichuan cuisine dishes?"

Li Yi did not deny it when he heard this, but he still explained: "Meat beans are the general term for this dish, which means tofu beans made of meat.

As for the meat beans I make today, they are indeed made of chicken, so it is no problem to call them chick beans.

But it can be made with other meats, so I call it meat beans."

"I understand, thank you very much."

Gao Wenlin thanked him together, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so lucky to be able to eat this famous dish, I'm lucky in my three lives!"

At this time, a girl next to her couldn't help but ask curiously: "Teacher Gao, I am from Sichuan Province. Why don't I know that there are meat beans in the classic dishes in Sichuan Province?"

"It used to be, but it was lost decades ago."

Gao Wenlin explained to her: "You go back and check a book called "Chengdu Tonglan", which contains records.

Chickpea is a special dish of Sichuan cuisine chefs more than a hundred years ago in Dazhou, Sichuan Province. It is very exquisite.

It emphasizes that eating chicken is not visible, and eating meat is not visible, and making meat into the shape of a vegetarian dish, which is called using meat to support vegetarian food.”

"That's it!"

The girl was ignorant and unaware of it.

"Boss, can I take a picture?"

Gao Wenlin asked politely towards Li Yi.

Li Yi nodded and did not refuse. Gao Wenlin signaled the photographer behind him to come to the soup bucket and took a close-up of the meat beans inside.

Gao Wenlin looked at the photographer taking a close-up while explaining to the camera: "The so-called chickpea, according to the records in "Chengdu Tonglan", is a dish that uses the back of a knife to knock the sprouts in the chicken breast into fine meat paste, and then uses high stock to slowly cook it into tofu shape.

The sprout is the meat connected to the wings on the chicken breast, which is the tenderloin.

Chicken tenderloin is the tenderest meat on the whole chicken, commonly known as chicken buds.

Chicken sprouts are very sparse, and a chicken can only produce about two taels, which are usually used to make mud.”

As he said that, he asked Li Yi: "Boss, how many chicken sprouts did you use in this bucket of meat beans?"

"More than two hundred!"

Li Yi explained casually.

Anyway, he bought all the chicken sprouts that can be bought in the vegetable market.

"Tsk tsk! Be particular!"

Gao Wenlin gave Li Yi a thumbs up and exclaimed.

There are more than 200 chickens, and only the tenderest chicken sprouts are used to make chickpeas. Not to mention how much the cost is, this trouble alone has already stumped many people.

Gao Wenlin tasted the chickpea flowers again, tasted it for a while, and then asked curiously: "Boss, I'm going to tell you, I have tried replicating this dish myself, but I failed after making it several times.

I can't get through the meat paste alone. How did you chop the meat paste so delicately?"

"Use the back of the knife and chop it slowly, pick out the fascia while knocking it, and chop it until it is thin enough," Li Yi explained casually while rinsing the wooden spoon.

“How thin should it be?”

Gao Wenlin wondered.

Li Yi thought for a moment: "It's almost the same as sesame paste and peanut butter."

“…”

Gao Wenlin was confused.

Not only was he confused, but the audience in the live broadcast room also complained in unison.

"Sesame paste? Anchor, do you want to listen to what you are talking about?"

"That's meat! It's so evenly chopped into sesame paste? You might as well grind it with a grinder!"

"That's the way it's chopped into peanut butter? My God! How long does it take to chop it?"

"Just kidding? Is this an operation that people can do?"

Gao Wenlin was stunned for a moment before asking in admiration: "How long will it take for you to chop a portion of meat paste?"

Li Yi patted the soup bucket: "I chopped this bucket for three hours."

"hiss!"

Gao Wenlin took a deep breath: "Three hours? When I replicated it, I only chopped one portion for half an hour. No wonder it was unsuccessful for the replica!"

"Three hours?"

The onlookers around were shocked.

"I think it's troublesome to chop dumpling stuffing. Do you have to chop this meat bean flower for three hours?"

"The boss is going to chop for three hours, but you may not be able to buy three hours, maybe six hours."

"Good! Then this bowl of meat beans is not expensive for a few hundred yuan! This is a laborious job."

"It's so troublesome. I would rather eat boiled chicken breasts directly. It takes so much effort to make a bowl of meaty beans that are the same as tofu. Is it meaningful? No wonder this dish will be lost."

Hearing the doubts coming from the crowd, Gao Wenlin couldn't help but look back and retort: ​​"Eat fine and fine stews without getting tired of eating. This is the essence of Chinese food culture, why is it meaningless?"

The person who questioned was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Gao Wenlin turn around and refute, she was a little embarrassed for a moment, but she still said stubbornly: "I mean, this troublesome dish is outdated.

People nowadays are busy making money every day. Who has the time to make a bowl of meat beans that need to be chopped for three hours?

At that time, the hotel had been in a few rounds.

And it’s so expensive! More than 600 a bowl, more than 600 ordinary beans can be drunk for a month!”

Seeing that she was still quarrel, Gao Wenlin turned around and explained to him: "Everyone has different needs for food. Some people eat just to fill their stomachs and eat enough. The amount is large and affordable. It is best to have a heavier taste, so it is very satisfying.

But some people are willing to spend time and think about experiencing the wonderfulness of the meticulous taste in the food.

Take this bowl of meat beans for example. Although it also uses broth, its main ingredient is the most common chicken.

Can the most common chicken be made into this form, with such tender and smooth taste and so delicious. Isn’t this turning decay into magic?

This is the essence of Chinese food culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is also the most beautiful art.

Because it confirms an old saying that food is the most important thing for people!”
