Promotion and Fortune

Hearing this, Liu Yifei first looked back at Li Yi, and when she saw Li Yi nodded, she said happily: "It can be done, please sit down first, wait a moment, drink some tea, the food will be ready in a while."

With that said, she invited the family of three to sit down, and Liu Yun also hurriedly got a cup and prepared to make tea.

Li Yi clapped his hands, turned back to the kitchen, and started preparing dishes.

The first customer came to the door. Huang Xiaoming was very nervous. After greeting him outside, he ran into the kitchen and asked: "Li Yi, do you want to help?"

"No, just greet me outside."

Li Yi waved his hand.

Among these dishes, salted tofu, dried tofu in soy sauce and Taishan Sammei Soup are all simple, and the ingredients are all ready, so you can make them at your fingertips.

Only Qilin's blessing is more troublesome and requires a lot of effort. However, no one else can help, so Li Yi can only do it by himself.

"One piece of northern tofu, three pieces of southern tofu, and one piece of dried tofu, go get them."

Li Yi gave instructions to Zhao Jinmai and quickly chopped green onions.

Zhao Jinmai quickly ran to the fresh-keeping cabinet and quickly brought the tofu according to Li Yi's request.

"Leave it here and go get the Nostoc."

Li Yi signaled her to put down the tofu, then rinsed the knife, then picked up the dried tofu and cut it into long strips.

Among these four dishes, the easiest to make is dried tofu mixed with sauce.

The soy sauce Li Yi has already been boiled, you can use it directly.

"is it this one?"

Zhao Jinmai brought a bag of dried seaweed that looked like hair and asked Li Yi.

"Well, find a plate, take out a piece of cake, and put it on the plate."

When Li Yi took Zhao Jinmai to visit the farmer's market, he taught her how to identify Nostoc.

"okay."

Zhao Jinmai found a round porcelain plate, took out a round pancake-shaped piece of Nostoc from the bag, and placed it in the center of the plate.

This dish is A-grade product that Li Yi bought from a boss in Fujian Province at the market. It is clean and free of sediment, and it is also rolled into a round cake shape for easy use.

Zhao Jinmai prepared the serving dishes, and Li Yi also cut the dried tofu.

He placed the square, brick-like dried tofu on top of the Nostoc.

First there were six roots, then seven roots, then eight roots, and after continuing for two levels, it returned to seven roots.

Like a stack of building blocks, he arranged the dried tofu so that it was narrow at the bottom and wide in the middle, and then narrowed a bit at the top.

Looking at the shape of the dried tofu, Zhao Jinmai was a little hesitant and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yi, the shape of the dried tofu seems a bit...a bit..."

She was too embarrassed to say it.

But Li Yi knew what she wanted to say and said it for her: "It looks like a coffin, right?"

"Ah yes!"

Zhao Jinmai nodded sheepishly.

"Do you think this tofu coffin is padded with nostoc?"

Li Yi pointed to the base of the dried tofu and said with a smile: "This is called getting promoted and making a fortune."

"Oh, it turns out it has a meaning!"

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering.

"Of course it has a meaning. The dishes at the banquet are all very particular. The different identities of the diners will also affect the appearance of the dishes."

Li Yi smiled and said: "If you really cooked for the emperor in ancient times, you definitely couldn't put it in this shape. That would be treason."

Zhao Jinmai asked curiously: "If this dish is served to the emperor, how should it be presented?"

"Put it vertically."

Li Yi explained: "Cut it into the shape of bamboo and pour it with soy sauce, which is the South China Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, and put a tofu-carved Guanyin behind it, which means Guanyin's blessings."

"Wow! It sounds good!"

Zhao Jinmai praised.

Zheng Jun, who was helping to choose the dishes, couldn't help but be amused after hearing this: "You cooks can still fool the emperor. Cutting a few dried tofu is a blessing from Guanyin."

Li Yi also smiled: "I am a person who wants to eat and eat delicious food. The emperor is also a human being and is no exception."

After saying that, he picked up a round spoon, scooped a spoonful of soy sauce, and poured it on the dried tofu.

Then, he put the chopped green onions on the dried tofu, took a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of ancient pressed soybean oil, put it in a pot and heated it over high heat, and then poured it on the chopped green onions.

Zhila!

The flavor of chopped green onion was mixed with the original flavor of compound soy sauce, as well as the aroma of dried tofu and soybean oil. Zhao Jinmai took a deep breath and exclaimed: "Wow! It smells so good!"

Zheng Jun was also attracted by the fragrance and looked over curiously: "It smells pretty good."

"That's it."

Li Yi raised his hand and pressed the food delivery bell at the food outlet: "Serving!"

"coming!"

Qin Lan heard the sound and came over quickly, ready to serve the food.

As she approached the kitchen door, she held her breath.

The childhood memories in her mind made her particularly sensitive to the beany smell of tofu.

She is afraid of smelling the beany smell of tofu. Once she smells it, she will feel nauseous.

Therefore, she planned to hold her breath while serving the food so as not to smell the beany smell and lose her composure.

But when she came to the dining area and saw the trembling dried tofu on the plate, she was dumbfounded.

The dried tofu is arranged in such a way that it is narrow at the bottom and wide in the middle, which looks awkward at first glance.

If it falls over, the presentation will be ruined.

Seeing her coming, Li Yi warned: "Be careful when carrying it, don't collapse it."

really.

Qin Lan was a little confused, but in front of the camera, she still said: "Oh."

This sound made her feel discouraged, and she subconsciously took a small breath of air.

It’s over!

There was a thump in her heart.

It would be over if you smell a beany smell.

However, a wisp of the aroma of chopped green onion entered her nasal cavity and adhered to her nasal mucosa, gently stimulating her olfactory nerves.

Eh? The onion smell is quite fragrant, and there doesn’t seem to be any beany smell.

But she didn't dare to bet on whether the next bite would taste beany.

So, she continued to hold her breath, carefully carried the plate, and walked to the front hall.

But carrying such a shaky plate of dried tofu, she couldn't walk fast at all, so she could only move in small steps.

Moreover, her heartbeat became a little faster due to nervousness, and her consumption of oxygen was even greater.

There was a distance of twenty meters from the back hall to the front hall. When she reached more than ten meters, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

She had no choice but to take a careful breath.

Suddenly, a smell of green onions mixed with the aroma of soy sauce and beans was inhaled into her lungs.

Finished...eh?

She was startled at first, but soon turned into surprise.

The taste did not have the beany smell that she had imagined that would make her sick to her stomach. Instead, it had a rich nutty bean flavor, just like the nut cakes sold in cake shops.

How come it smells like this?

She sniffed it again with some confusion, but there was still only the aroma of beans, but no fishy smell.

This tofu seems different.

She was still in front of the camera, and without any time to think about it, she brought the dish to the guests and put it on the table: "This is dried tofu mixed with sauce, please use it slowly."

The middle-aged woman looked at the shape of dried tofu and was a little confused: "Why is it arranged like this?"

"This is called getting promoted and making a fortune. It has a good meaning."

The middle-aged man chuckled and said the meaning of the shape.

As he said that, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of dried tofu, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey! This dried tofu is delicious!"

"Yeah?"

The middle-aged woman doubtfully picked up a piece and took a bite. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she called her son beside her: "Try it quickly, this is delicious!"

Qin Lan watched from the side with a somewhat complicated mood.

If it was before, when she saw someone eating tofu, she would just avoid looking at him.

But watching them eat the dried tofu mixed with sauce, she actually became curious and wanted to ask if the dried tofu was really that delicious.

This is too strange!
