After being busy for most of the day, Master Wan felt a little tired.
He felt a little unwell when he left the house this morning, but he thought it was no big deal and would not affect his work, so he insisted on coming to work.
It was past the peak time for dinner, and there were not many people eating in the restaurant. There were only two or three tables of guests still eating.
Master Wan finally had some free time, and then he felt a slight pain in his lower abdomen. He was about to sit down and rest when he heard Boss Shen's voice.
"Hey, Lao Wan! A distinguished guest in the front hall has specifically requested the Wensi tofu dish. Hurry and prepare it!"
Mr. Shen, the boss of Hongbinlou, came to the kitchen to greet him personally. It seems that this distinguished guest is of great importance!
"Wensi Tofu?" Chef Wan was stunned for a moment. He hadn't made this dish in a long time. He muttered, "This customer is quite a gourmet! This is not a simple dish!"
After a long morning of hard work, everyone was a little tired, but when they heard that Chef Wan was going to make Wensi Tofu, they all rushed over! They all wanted to see how this dish was made!
After all, this dish is extremely challenging for the chef’s knife skills and is a rare learning opportunity!
Wensi tofu is actually a famous dish in Yangzhou with a long history. It is said that it was created by a monk in Yangzhou named Wensi during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so it was named Wensi tofu!
This dish uses some very common ingredients, but few people can make it well! Because it is difficult to make, it requires the chef's knife skills to be extremely high!
The tofu, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, ham, chicken breast, etc. needed in this dish must be cut into thin strips as thick as a hair!
Especially the tofu, which is so soft. You can imagine how difficult it is to cut it into pieces as thin as a hair without breaking in the middle!
It is impossible to do this without more than ten years of craftsmanship!
Not only that, you also need to have talent, otherwise, you may not be able to cut it out even if you practice for a lifetime.
Not to mention anything else, even in the capital, there are not many chefs who have this skill!
"Wensi tofu?" He Yumo muttered to himself. This was a dish he had seen a master chef in Yangzhou make in his previous life. The master chef's knife skills were so amazing that it left a deep impression on him!
This dish is complicated to prepare and requires high skills from the chef, so although the ingredients are simple, the price is not cheap!
In this era, when people go to restaurants to eat, they are looking for the big fish and meat. Those who spend a lot of money to eat such expensive food in a restaurant with little meat are definitely not ordinary people!
Master Wan saw everyone gathered around him, but he didn't say anything. He thought to himself, "Okay, today I'll show you what real skills are!"
"Mozi, help me prepare the ingredients! This dish requires..." Master Wan was about to say, but unexpectedly He Yumo said it out right away!
"Tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ham, chicken breast..."
Everyone looked at He Yumo in surprise. This kid actually knew all this?! He actually named the ingredients right away!
Master Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
He Yumo quickly brought the ingredients and placed them in front of Chef Wan one by one.
I was right. This kid is quite smart and has the potential to be a chef!
Master Wan picked up the tofu and was about to cut it when he suddenly started to feel severe pain in his lower abdomen!
"Master, what's wrong with you?" He Yumo saw that something was wrong with Master Wan and asked hurriedly.
Everyone then realized that beads of sweat had already appeared on Master Wan's forehead, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of pain! "Master Wan, are you okay?!"
Master Wan felt the pain in his lower abdomen getting worse and worse, and soon he couldn't even straighten his back. His hands couldn't stop shaking!
Li Donglai hurried over to help Master Wan to rest aside.
He has spent the longest time with Master Wan and has encountered this situation before. It must be an old problem!
"Looking at you like this, why don't you go to the hospital!"
"No need, Donglai, please help me get some medicine from my bag. It's just an old problem. I just need to take it and rest for a while!"
Li Donglai brought the medicine and gave it to Master Wan!
This is an old problem, and the patient should not be in any serious trouble, but looking at the situation, it seems that this dish will not be able to be made for a while!
"Well, Donglai, I'm afraid I can't make this dish today. How about you try it?" Master Wan squeezed out a few words in pain!
"Me? I can't do it! You know, I've learned to make this dish from you before, but I never succeeded once!" Li Donglai shook his head repeatedly!
If it was any other dish, he could still handle it, at most the taste would be a little worse, but this dish is not possible. If it is not cut well, the dish will lose its soul and become a hodgepodge, a stew in one pot, which can not be called Wensi Tofu at all.
"Oh!" Master Wan was helpless.
The customer had come over specifically to request this dish, and given his personality, he definitely didn't want to disappoint the customer. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do now.
He Yumo stood aside and fell into deep thought.
In his previous life, he had personally seen a master chef from Yangzhou making this Wensi tofu.
He recalled carefully and found that he remembered the specific production process, but he was not sure whether his current knife skills could reach the level required for this dish.
[Ding! System task, successfully make Wensi Tofu, directly reward 20 points of incomparable enlightenment!]
