When he opened his eyes, he didn't know when there was a small soup cup placed neatly in front of him.
Inside the soup cup is a white chrysanthemum in full bloom. In the center of the white chrysanthemum is a yellow flower core.
Next to the golden clear soup, there are a few plump and round red wolfberries floating in the air. The color contrast is quite strong and rich, which is pleasing to the eye at first sight.
Each stamen of the white chrysanthemum is cut very finely.
Li Xiao slightly adjusted the angle of the camera and adjusted the focus at the same time.
Under the high-definition camera, a clear white chrysanthemum floating in the clear soup appeared vividly in everyone's sight.
"Let me go, what is this?"
"The elder brother upstairs didn't listen carefully. This is tofu chrysanthemum, it must be tofu!"
"How the hell could tofu look like this? Why are there so many tentacles?"
"I know a little bit about this. It should have been cut with a knife."
"Cut with a knife? How is this possible?"
"If it were true, how terrifying would that be?"
Li Xiao saw the barrage in the live broadcast room and said with a smile:
"What the elder brother said just now is right, the tofu and chrysanthemums are indeed cut with a knife."
"But this uses lactone tofu instead of ordinary tofu. Only lactone tofu has enough toughness and elasticity to withstand such a long period of torture."
"The most common tofu chrysanthemums cost 25 knives horizontally and 25 knives vertically."
"You can't cut to the end with each cut, and you can't cut off the front cut, so you can get the most basic version of chrysanthemum tofu."
"After cutting, put the tofu into clean water, and then slowly use running water to wash away the excess tofu residue, and you will get a beautiful chrysanthemum tofu."
"But the one in front of me seems a little different. This should be an upgraded version of Tofu Chrysanthemum."
"If I guessed correctly, it should have been 35 knives horizontally and 35 knives vertically."
"That's why this chrysanthemum tofu is as thin as hair when cut out."
Li Xiao gently shook the soup cup with his hands. The white chrysanthemums in the soup cup kept swaying with the golden clear soup inside.
The hair-thin petals are beating continuously with the water flow, and now you can even see how finely these tofu are cut.
Of course, Li Xiao thinks that he can still do it to this extent.
Not to mention 35 dollars, even if it is 45 dollars, he still has a certain degree of confidence. Of course, the premise is that he has enough materials to try.
However, he did not say it in public, after all, this was a bit suspicious of Versailles.
The appearance is quite explosive, after all, ordinary small restaurants really can't do such knife skills.
"Okay, no need to say more about this dish. After all, you really can't make it."
The live broadcast room, which was originally bustling with fun, suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Then the live broadcast room was filled with excitement, and every audience member was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.
"(??へ??╬)! Listen, is this human talk? Is this human talk?"
"It goes without saying what this dish is. After all, you really can't make it?"
"I suspect the anchor looks down on us, and there is actual evidence."
"~(b?ω?) Call the police, call the police, someone is publicly insulting others."
"Brothers upstairs, please calm down. My family owns a restaurant. Let alone you guys, even a professional like me can't do it."
"Don't think too much, the anchor just told the truth."
"There are really not many of the more than 400,000 viewers who know how to do it, no kidding."
"The anchor is doing a heart-wrenching fist, but you are just stabbing me in the back with a dagger!"
"It's cruel to watch a live broadcast and be laughed at by the host,┭┮﹏┭┮"
Unfortunately, Li Xiao had already focused his attention on the food in front of him and didn't even notice everyone's antics.
Otherwise, he would have to come out to explain more or less and comfort the poor and fragile hearts of the audience.
Gently scrape off a small piece of chrysanthemum tofu with a spoon. The small piece of chrysanthemum tofu separated from the main body still maintains its original shape.
But now it doesn't look like a chrysanthemum, but like a small white coral.
The matching spoon is very deep and can hold a whole piece of chrysanthemum tofu and allow it to sway freely inside.
Put the whole spoonful of chrysanthemum tofu and the soup into your mouth.
The touch was so wonderful that what Li Xiao first felt was not the taste of chicken soup, but the feeling of the chrysanthemum petals as thin as hair on the tongue.
This feeling is very familiar, Li Xiao is sure that he has felt it on his tongue before.
He closed his eyes and thought carefully, and soon it suddenly became clear.
Dragon Beard Noodles!
It was the taste of the dragon beard noodles he had eaten at Xiaohe Noodle House at that time.
It's just that the texture of tofu is not as strong as dragon's beard noodles, but it is still elastic and smooth.
The teeth haven't bitten down yet, it's just an inadvertent contact between the tongue and the mouth.
The chrysanthemum tofu in the mouth broke apart one after another, and then melted into the mouth with the soup.
Before Li Xiao had time to notice, the tofu, which had been broken into strands, had already entered the esophagus along the mouth.
The chicken soup is also very well made, very thick and fragrant, but without any oily or greasy feeling.
Apparently before the old hen was put into the pot, the chef had cleaned all the chicken fat on the chicken and completely removed the chicken skin.
Moreover, during the cooking process, the chicken soup was dehumidified and kept using a spoon to scoop up all the floating oil cores, so that the entire chicken soup became very clean.
But it is a little different from the boiled cabbage at the beginning. The boiled cabbage is purely fresh, and even the meaty flavor in the middle is very light.
But the chicken soup in front of me is thick but not greasy, and has a clean taste.
The taste is a bit like the stewed chicken sauce that old mothers like to make in Guangdong families.
Paired with tofu that has no taste at all, the combination of the two is really a perfect match.
Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction:
“It’s delicious, the texture is really comfortable, and the tofu has a slight crunch.”
"The moment the tongue and mouth come into contact, the roots break, and then melt in the mouth."
"It feels very amazing. The chicken soup is very thick and fragrant. Only a few wolfberries are put in it, which adds freshness and sweetness. It's very pure."
“It’s perfect and delicious when paired with chrysanthemum tofu. It’s really nice to end it with this dish.”
"Start with lightness and end with lightness."
"Although this palace dish does not contain too much fish or meat, the ingredients used are still very sophisticated."
"Abalone, shark's fin, sea cucumber, ginseng, caviar, fish maw, the ingredients used are all very good, and they won't be inferior."
“It’s very comfortable to eat, and it does have a bit of a royal feel.”
"Eight cold ones and eight hot ones, the young lady will definitely not be able to finish them all, and the average adult male will definitely be full. Even a big eater like me will feel very satisfied after eating them."
“In terms of food alone, I can only give [Palace Banquet] 85 points, but if you add in their singing and dancing, as well as the immersive costume experience, then the score can reach 95 points.”
"If you come to the capital to travel, this is a store I highly recommend. Of course, the price is a bit high."
"If we can launch a set meal with a slightly lower price, without using too good materials, it may be able to better highlight the traditional culture of the Han Dynasty."
"Of course, this is just a small opinion of mine. Well, I will continue to finish the rest and then go back. I will have a day off tomorrow."
"After all, I will be on stage to compete the day after tomorrow, but I have asked the relevant staff that the live broadcast can be carried out in the venue, but it cannot affect other people, so I said that the whole venue will be live broadcast during the exam the day after tomorrow, so please tune in
.”
After finishing the last bite of food, Li Xiao already felt a little full.
The singing and dancing on the catwalk continued, but since there were not many people leaving, he decided to leave quickly, otherwise there would be a long queue in the dressing room.
After safely returning to the hotel and washing up, I lay on the bed and fell asleep, spending the whole night speechless.
No young lady knocked on the door, and no other incidents occurred.
Li Xiao got up early, but did not go out. Instead, he stayed in the hotel.
He used his mobile phone and laptop to organize information related to tomorrow's exam. After all, he planned to conduct a live broadcast tomorrow, so it was better to be well prepared.
Fortunately, the content of the exam is not a big deal to him now. After one day's raid, he basically understood it clearly, and he is just waiting to perform on the court tomorrow.
On the second day, Li Xiao ran towards school after eating steamed buns early in the morning.
The road conditions were also very smooth, and Li Xiao came to the school without any obstacles.
But when he arrived, he found that people from the school had come earlier.
After all, today is not the first day of the exam and you can take it casually.
The exam on the first day only accounted for 10%, but today's competition accounted for 90%.
Even if there is no seal on the first day, it will not have much impact on many people.
But if you don't do well in the exam today, then many people's hard work to come to Beijing will be a pure waste of time.
Of course, as expected, Li Xiao still saw Uncle Badong, whom he had misunderstood, still handing out the steamed buns and soy milk in his hand.
However, this time there were obviously fewer people willing to eat steamed buns and soy milk. Apparently Uncle Badong's reputation for steamed buns and soy milk had already spread among the candidates.
Li Xiao could clearly see the frustration on Uncle Badong's face. Maybe he didn't quite understand what went wrong. He was even refused free buns.
When Li Xiao saw him, Badong also saw Li Xiao.
He quickly came over with the bag and said hello with a smile on his face:
"Good morning, Li Xiao, did you come so early for breakfast today? Eat a steamed bun!"
As he asked, he took out a steaming bun from the bag.
It seemed that Li Xiao would not refuse. Seeing the buns that had been handed to him, Li Xiao felt a little helpless. Everyone really didn't want to eat them, not only because they had already eaten breakfast before coming.
What's more important is that the buns are really unpalatable and the soy milk doesn't taste good. He really doesn't want to be hurt again.
But looking at the sincerity and expectation on Uncle Badong's face, Li Xiao could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
