Mu Xingzhi did not rush to draw conclusions - although the white strands in the golden soup did look like egg custard, egg custard should be light yellow, not this delicate white.
"Since it's a 'thank you banquet', then naturally the party being thanked should treat first." As she spoke, Su Qingluan handed one of the white porcelain spoons to Mu Xingzhi.
Then she turned to look at Song Bo: "Although Song Bo will not dine with me, I should still thank you."
Song Bo waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't deserve a thank you, Madam Su. This is all the boss's idea."
Su Qingluan shook her head: "You are an enthusiastic and kind person. You have benefited a lot to me and the entire 'Su Ji'!" Even if Mu Xingzhi's intention was there, Song Bo was just following orders, but it was indeed Song Bo who actually went to help. She always kept this hard work in her heart.
Song Bo kept saying that he was not worthy of it and that it was his due. However, the next moment, this somewhat warm and touching scene was broken by his words - "Boss, please try the egg drop soup made by Madam Su! It will definitely warm you up!"
Su Qingluan's mouth twitched: "That... isn't egg drop soup..."
"Ah? Isn't it?" Song Bo couldn't help but look over when he heard that, "But..." It looked like an egg yolk soup that was mixed more finely.
But seeing Su Qingluan's smile gradually change from gratitude to murderous, Song Bo wisely did not say this out loud.
Mu Xingzhi gracefully put the spoon into his mouth, and his eyes lit up - this delicate taste...
"Is this shredded tofu?" Mu Xingzhi looked over, "And crab meat."
Su Qingluan nodded: "The white ones are crab meat and shredded tofu, and the soup base is made by frying crab paste and crab roe in oil."
This is a small innovation in Wensi Tofu Soup, which is made by using the seasoning method of crab roe tofu.
In addition, in order to enrich the taste of Wensi tofu, Su Qingluan also cut the crab legs, which could not be boiled into a thick golden soup base like crab roe and crab paste, into thin strands of crab meat and mixed them into the tofu shreds as thin as cow hair. Although it looked like it could be completely mixed in, it greatly enriched the taste of the original Wensi tofu and added a salty, fresh and flexible taste.
As for the Wensi tofu soup, it uses the juice from the steamed crab roe and the previously boiled broth, which can make the delicious taste of the river crab and the soup base achieve a more harmonious taste.
And because the soup base uses crab roe and crab paste, the taste of the soup is not only fresh and fragrant but also richer.
As soon as Song Bo smelled the delicious aroma of the soup, he realized that this seemingly ordinary "egg drop soup" was not as simple as he thought. However, when Su Qingluan said that the thin thread was tofu, Song Bo was still shocked: "Tofu, is it the piece of tender tofu I bought before?"
Song Bo pointed at the soup in disbelief, then realized that he was actually pointing at Mu Xingzhi, so he quickly withdrew his hand.
Su Qingluan nodded.
At this time, Mu Xingzhi also put down his spoon and said with a smile: "This soup is delicious and delicate, it is the only one I have ever seen in my life."
Su Qingluan also drank two sips of the warming drink herself, then smiled and shook her head. "That's not as exaggerated as it sounds. In fact, Wensi Tofu can be mastered quickly as long as you have patience. Especially since Song Bo's hand skills should be very stable, it shouldn't be difficult to learn."
Su Qingluan wasn't just saying this to sound nice. The truth was, the Wensi tofu dish didn't have any particularly complicated production process - if you had to say it, it was the knife skills involved in cutting the tender and soft tofu into thin strips.
However, it only requires two things: carefulness and a steady hand. As long as the skills are mastered, this dish is basically easy to make.
However, Song Bo shook his head like a rattle: "Madam Su, please forgive me. I prefer killing to cutting tofu..."
"Ahem!" Su Qingluan stopped the uncle before he could say anything more shocking, to prevent his appetite from being ruined. "Since we've almost finished this soup, shall we move on to the next few dishes?"
Because soups are usually served before meals, they can be opened separately. However, the dishes are to be tasted at the same time, so this time Su Qingluan plans to "unveil" the remaining four dishes and a main course together.
Since they had to be revealed at the same time anyway, Su Qingluan simply introduced the dish that was closest to her in order. Then the other three deeper bowls and cups placed in front of her were opened - and inside was nothing else but a round orange!
Then Su Qingluan opened another bowl of the same shape, which also contained an orange.
Song Bo was stunned: "This orange is still steaming! This is the first time I've seen an orange being eaten whole and ripe!"
Su Qingluan shook her head: "This orange peel is just a container, there is something else inside." Steamed oranges are softer than raw oranges. Su Qingluan was afraid that holding the orange directly would destroy its shape, so she simply put another layer of container on the outside, which made it easier to hold.
Mu Xingzhi immediately noticed that there was a very hidden circle of jagged cuts on the top of the orange. Although it was covered tightly by Su Qingluan, he had sharp eyes and still noticed it.
"This orange is a unique container," Mu Xingzhi said with a smile. "Steaming oranges with salt can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. It's a perfect tonic for autumn."
"Really?" Su Qingluan knew nothing about this. "In that case, I'll try it on the ones at home when I get home." Especially the two little ones. Even though they have basically recovered from the cold, they have been coughing all night recently.
"Isn't it for the nourishing effect of oranges?" Song Bo was stunned.
