That's just cutting tofu. I've been cutting tofu every day for the past few years working with my master. I'm not bragging.
I cut the tofu so evenly, each piece like a sieve block. Humph!
I've never seen anyone at Fengzeyuan cut tofu better than me.
The young apprentice glanced at Ma Hua defiantly and said arrogantly.
When MCA heard the young apprentice speak so arrogantly, they didn't laugh at him, after all, ignorance is bliss.
Ma Hua turned directly to Master Niu and said, "How about it? If you don't dare to compete, just admit defeat. There's nothing shameful about admitting defeat."
Master Niu got angry when he heard Ma Hua belittling him like that. It was just Wensi Tofu, after all.
"Who do you think you are?" he immediately shouted. "Who's afraid to compete? I'm just worried you'll lose."
"I won't admit it. Fine, let's compete then. Who's afraid of who?"
Wang Defa glanced at Fatty Niu with some pity. Although this was only the second time he had met Ma Hua,
However, he could tell that Ma Hua was a very proud person; although his clothes were simple, the arrogance in his eyes was undeniable.
Since MCA mentioned comparing Wensi tofu, it must be something MCA excels at. Unexpectedly, MCA used reverse psychology to force Master Niu into this situation.
"You've finally met your match, Fatty Niu!" Wang Defa didn't bother to remind him; he was just waiting for Fatty Niu to make a fool of himself.
Although I've never made Wensi Tofu myself, I've certainly eaten and seen it. It's one of the ten signature dishes of the Huaiyang cuisine.
Legend has it that this dish was created by the Yangzhou monk Wensi and was served during Emperor Qianlong's visit to Yangzhou.
As a dish served in the imperial cuisine, this dish demands extremely high standards of knife skills.
Even a small piece of tofu requires a chef's exquisite knife skills.
Meticulously cut into 5000 hair-thin strips.
This dish is a huge challenge even for me.
Moreover, I remember that this fat guy's knife skills were mediocre.
They actually dared to challenge MCA to a knife-wielding contest! Tsk tsk, now they've shot themselves in the foot.
Seeing Niu Dapangzi get his comeuppance, Wang Defa was incredibly excited.
Wang Defa noticed the anxiety in Ma Hua's parents' expressions and gently shook his head.
He whispered, "We must believe him."
When the young apprentice heard Wang Defa say this, he nodded approvingly.
Master Wang is right, you have to believe he's bound to lose.
Ma Hua directly selected the soft tofu she needed and gently removed all six layers of the tofu skin with a knife.
Then gently place the tofu in the center of the cutting board.
First, wet the knife with water so that it won't stick when you cut the tofu.
Then, pick up the cleaver with your right hand, place the tip of the cleaver against the cutting board, and place your left hand against the left side of the cleaver.
Ma Hua mentally recalled the method for making Wensi Tofu.
Then Ma Hua's eyes were completely focused on the tofu on the cutting board.
Clang clang clang clang clang, at this moment the MCA seemed to have turned into a ruthless machine.
The cleaver was rhythmically cutting up and down on the tofu.
First, use a knife to cut the tofu into even, thin slices, and then use a cleaver to gently cut the slices into thin strips.
The onlookers stared in astonishment at Ma Hua's movements, which were not only natural but also remarkably rhythmic.
Everyone's eyes followed the rise and fall of the kitchen knife in Ma Hua's hand.
The sound of the knife hitting the cutting board wasn't even considered noisy.
Instead, there's a special sense of rhythm in it, as if it's playing music.
Watching MCA's focused and meticulous movements, which resembled art,
Everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that MCA might make a mistake and ruin this beautiful moment.
Unfortunately, just as everyone was watching Ma Hua cut tofu with rapt attention, a young apprentice nearby objected.
So that's how it's supposed to be cut! The young apprentice felt an overwhelming surge of excitement, his face flushing red.
No wonder they looked at me so strangely earlier.
So you all think you're the clown, huh? Thinking this, the young apprentice could no longer contain himself.
They started yelling "Ahhhhh!" loudly, trying to distract the MCA with their voices.
This will cause it to malfunction.
Unfortunately, MCA used the "undistracted focus" skill they had previously earned from the system right from the start.
This is why the MCA is acting like a ruthless machine right now.
Ma Hua was completely oblivious to what was happening around him, his entire focus on the tofu in front of him.
But Master Niu wasn't so lucky; he was already nervous.
His composure was completely shattered by that shout from the young apprentice.
The cleaver in his right hand cut his left index finger.
Fortunately, it was just a small cut, but the pain forced Master Niu to stop his manual work.
Master Niu was heartbroken when he saw that the tofu he had cut was of uneven thickness.
Then he suddenly turned to look at Ma Hua, only to see that Ma Hua was still focused on cutting tofu on his cutting board.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
There was also a hint of disappointment in his voice; it seemed he had lost this time, that he had actually lost to a young man.
After the MCA team gently placed the chopped tofu into the basin of water,
Master Niu then quickly walked to the young apprentice's side.
He slapped her hard across the face several times, muttering, "I'll beat you to death, you unfilial brat!"
"Who told you to shout that just now?"
The young apprentice covered his face, looking aggrieved: "Master, I just wanted to help you, I..."
"What do you mean, 'me'? Do you want to see me ridiculed by everyone in Beijing? Is that helping me?"
You're harming me. You're so lazy and useless, always thinking about these crooked and evil ways.
