After all, it is a well-known restaurant in Long City. In addition, there will be distinguished guests coming, and the kitchen is clean and tidy. The masters and Dahe's apprentices also looked puzzled when they saw the stranger coming in.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the restaurant's back kitchen casually!

Zhang Yu explained it, and then let Zhou You Teng go.

"I'm too lazy to cook four dishes one by one. Since I approved your Mapo Tofu, let's take Mapo Tofu as an example!"

Talking around, he had already put on his apron and grabbed a piece of tofu!

"Mapo tofu and old and tender tofu are suitable, but there are slight differences in the steps when cooking the two types of tofu!"

The palm-sized tofu is held in the hand, and with a few cuts horizontally and vertically, it turns into a small square of about one centimeter!

At the back kitchen entrance, Tang Juan naturally saw the scene of Zhou You cutting tofu, and she whispered in Yang Qingning's ear: "What's going on with your crush...?"

Yang Qingning shrank her neck and did not correct herself. She said, "He is very good at cooking. He will cook it soon. You will know after you try it!"

Very good at cooking?

Master Zhang knew his second uncle, so she also knew Master Zhang.

only……

No matter how good your cooking skills are, you are still just a cook, right?

It was just that when Yang Qingning talked about it, there was light in her eyes, so it was hard for her to say anything.

Zhang Yu stared at Zhou You intently. The identity of the oven maker almost made him angry, but this did not mean that he did not pay attention to it. He could casually point out the shortcomings of the dishes, and he was right to the point. At least this person's cooking skills were not simple.

From this horizontal and vertical cut, it can be seen that this young man's knife skills have reached a level of proficiency.

Cut the tofu and run it through water first, then start preparing other ingredients at this time.

Red pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, tempeh and more!

Saute the red pepper and Sichuan pepper until fragrant, chop and set aside. At the same time, put the soaked tofu in a pot of cold water, then pour cooking wine, add a few drops of soy sauce, add a little salt, turn it over a few times and drain it out of the cold water!

Chop the fresh beef, heat the pan and pour oil, add the chopped beef, pour a little cooking wine, wait for the beef to change color, take it out directly to control the oil!

Add red oil to the pot, bean paste, chopped chili, tempeh, minced garlic, pepper oil, and minced beef, stir-fry a few times, and then pour in a little cooking wine!

This series of steps shocked the faces of diners who had never been into a kitchen or seen the process of making Mapo tofu.

"Oh my God, it turns out there are so many steps to a plate of Mapo Tofu!"

"Why are there so many materials!"

"Blanching the tofu, refining the peppercorn oil, stir-frying the minced beef... Well, no wonder the small restaurants outside only have spicy tofu. There are so many steps, and I have a headache even washing the pot!"

Spicy tofu is much simpler. Just cut the tofu and set aside, add chili peppers and the like, and then pour the tofu in to taste.

"Actually... you have good taste. He does have quite a temperament when cooking!"

Tang Juan whispered.

only……

After all, she is divorced and has children.

But now it seems that the craft of travel should be very good, but unfortunately, it is only for cooking!

"Humph, of course my dad is handsome!"

Tang Juan and Yang Qingning murmured, thinking that others didn't hear it, but Xiao Qinghe's family was between them, how could they not hear it.

Tang Juan was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed!

"Is there chicken soup?"

Zhou You turned to a staff member and asked.

The man was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, yes!" Then he brought a bowl of chicken soup.

Pouring the chicken soup in, Zhou You said: "Of course water is also possible, but for the sake of freshness, I usually like to use chicken soup!"

When the chicken soup is put into the pot, it makes a sizzling sound, but its fragrance is actually coming out.

Soon, the tofu is put into the pot and gently stirred with a shovel. At this time, the most important thing is to thicken it.

The interval between thickening three times is not long, so you need to act quickly!

Finally, the fragrance came out completely!

"smell good!"

"Tsk tsk, it's not just about smelling the fragrance, the key is seeing the fragrance!"

"This color makes me feel like I could swallow the plate right away!"

Out of the pot!

Sprinkle minced Sichuan peppercorns and chopped green onion, drizzle with a little hot oil, and done!

Full of flavor and color!

That's it.

Zhang Yu, who had been silent all the time, came over, took a small bowl, took a small spoonful, and started to taste it.

When the tofu entered his mouth, Zhang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and he chewed quickly.

"Dad, I want to eat too!"

Xiao Qinghe had already ran over and hugged Zhou You's thigh.

"OK!"

After getting half a bowl for the little guy, Xiao Qinghe took the bowl to Yang Qingning and said, "Teacher Yang, eat it!"

After Yang Qingning took two bites, she felt that it was completely different from the Mapo Tofu eaten outside. It had hot, numbing, spicy, fragrant, crispy, tender and fresh tastes that changed frequently.

Tang Juan swallowed her saliva subconsciously and asked, "How is it?"

"Try it!"

Tang Juan couldn't wait any longer and quickly took a bite. Her already big eyes became round and she muttered: "It's delicious, oh, so hot, so hot!"

My mouth felt hot, but I took another bite!

When Fang Dongsheng saw this, he went directly into the kitchen to take action. When the others saw it, they couldn't hold it anymore and finally rushed in.

Just one plate of mapo tofu is not enough for three or five people, let alone seven or eight or nine people, let alone how delicious it is.

Those who came in early looked like they were enjoying themselves, while those who came in later could only see red oil plates, not to mention the tofu, not even a single garlic sprout left behind. They could only look at others eating with jealousy.

It was filled with words like hot, hot, hot, smells so good, and so on.

I felt sour in my heart, thinking about how delicious it would be if it was just a plate of tofu.

But I still couldn't help but dip my fingers into the red oil on the plate, stuff it into my mouth, and then...

"Fuck, you started too slowly!"

For a moment, tears of regret flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Oh my God, it turns out this is Mapo Tofu!"

"The Mapo Tofu I used to eat was all fake!"

"This tastes like this. When I traveled to Sichuan last year, I went to Chenma to eat Mapo tofu. I thought it was comparable to that one. No, it was even more delicious than that one!"

"This little brother is so awesome!"

At this time, Tang Juan had also come to her senses, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at Zhou You!

Brother Cook?

No, the top person in every industry is no longer a simple profession. Before, she thought Zhou You should be a chef. Although he was handsome, his profession did not match Yang Qingning, but she no longer thinks so.

Fang Dongsheng had also finished eating. While he was shocked by Zhou You's superb cooking skills, he also looked at Zhang Yu who had been silent. He wanted to see how Zhang Yu would deal with it.

Finally, Zhang Yu came to his senses, took a deep breath, looked at Zhou You with a complicated look, and then took off his hat: "I admit, you are better than me!"

Zhou You raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No, I'm not here to steal your job!"

As he spoke, he looked towards the door and shouted: "Boss Zhao, I know you are here, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter came from outside, and then he saw Zhao Chengjun walking in, and immediately apologized to Zhou You: "Master Zhou, I'm sorry!"

Then he said to Zhang Yu: "There will be distinguished guests coming tomorrow, and this is the person I invited to help!"

Zhang Yu was surprised. He knew that distinguished guests came to his door, and he also knew that the boss had hired help, but he never expected...

Zhou Youdao: "Boss Zhao is afraid that the people in the kitchen will be dissatisfied when they see me tomorrow, so even though he arrived early, he has been hiding outside without seeing anyone!"

After being told the truth, Zhao Chengjun apologized repeatedly.

"Okay, I've seen everything I need to see. I'll come back tomorrow morning!"

As he was about to leave, Zhao Chengjun quickly said: "Master Zhou, I would like to invite you again. How about adding 20% ​​to the last reward?"

"No need, I still like to cook a banquet in the countryside!"

Watching Zhou You leave, Zhao Chengjun felt helpless and regretful!
