Ba Dao quickly finished showing off his pre-dinner dessert.
He knows that as long as you eat fast enough, the food will be served fast enough.
Sure enough, after I finished the three desserts, the first main course was served.
On a white porcelain plate were five strange objects.
Five very appetizing-looking foods are stuck on a long bamboo skewer.
He picked up a curious object to observe, but before he could figure anything out, the alluring fragrance tempted him to abandon his observation.
It smells so good!
The rich sauce has a sweet and sour flavor, and the aroma of the beans after heating is equally strong. Combined with the fragrance of scallions, sesame seeds, and other seasonings, it's truly a synergistic effect.
The main feature of this street food is its thick sauce. The thick sauce makes the aroma incredibly rich, which is the key to attracting customers for street food vendors.
The aroma of some foods can even waft from one end of the street to the other.
Ba Dao felt that he had eaten at Shandian Xiaozhu so many times that he should have developed a certain resistance to its food.
But whenever a new dish appears, he knows he's just overthinking it.
Forget about resistance, they won't even have the slightest bit of self-restraint left.
Ever since I took a bite of the first tofu on the skewer, I've completely lost control of myself.
He ate a skewer in each hand, using both hands simultaneously, his mouth dripping with oil.
Not to mention him, even the Ice Phoenix Witch, who usually pays great attention to her image and demeanor, is powerless against these street snacks.
At first, I just ate it slowly and carefully, but the more I ate, the more addictive it became, and eventually I started eating it in big gulps.
Her fair and pretty face was even covered in bright red sauce.
"Sigh, the food at this mountain retreat is so delicious that I never get tired of it, and every time I come, I get something completely different. It's like some kind of celestial being descended to earth, making me miss out on at least three delicious meals. A day without it feels like three autumns, which is equivalent to 21 years since I last ate here. After so many years, I feel like my skin has improved."
The Ice Phoenix Witch gently stroked her fair, glowing, and flawless skin, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
As for the sauce on her pretty face, it was just a cleansing spell.
Wen Jun took a close look at the Ice Phoenix Witch's skin and said, "It's not just a feeling, it really has improved. This 'Iron Plate Tofu' probably has the effect of whitening the skin, and mine is too."
"roar……!"
Just as the Ice Phoenix Witch was about to take a closer look at the changes in Wen Jun's skin, she heard an extremely powerful aura erupt from a private room not far away.
Then a voice filled with unbearable agony cried out, "My sexy bronze skin! Why... why has it become like this?!"
The Ice Phoenix Witch asked in confusion, "Judging from that voice, could it be Fellow Daoist Ba Dao?"
Wen Jun nodded: "It should be him. His voice is quite distinctive."
The Ice Phoenix Witch began to recall the appearance of Ba Dao in her mind. He did indeed often look like a little dark-skinned person, and only he thought that his skin was bronze.
If someone who is very dark-skinned suddenly becomes lighter, will they turn yellowish-brown or brown?
"Pfft... I suddenly really want to see what Fellow Daoist Ba Dao looks like now."
Ba Dao felt really angry.
To maintain his perfect bronze skin, he went to great lengths, enduring countless hardships and sufferings.
Just because I ate one dish, I became noticeably paler. How can I tolerate that?
It's really rare to find someone with his skin color in the cultivation world, since cultivation is a process of eliminating impurities and purifying the physical body.
Melanin is not something cultivators like.
But Ba Dao had a particular fondness for this kind of thing. Seeing his beautiful skin ruined, Ba Dao's stubborn temper flared up, and he decided to have a full-blown fight at this mountain retreat.
Ye Feng knew that Ba Dao was dark-skinned, but he didn't expect him to care so much about his skin color.
However, he didn't want to say anything; he just wanted to shut him up with the second dish.
The second dish also mainly uses tofu, and the delicacy it makes is a dish that can be found in both small, unassuming eateries and grand, luxurious restaurants—homemade tofu.
Home-style tofu belongs to the Shandong cuisine, but after it spread, it underwent many adjustments according to different regions, gradually forming two schools, one in the north and one in the south.
Northern-style home-style tofu emphasizes freshness and aroma, often using seasonings such as soybean paste, scallions, and pork, resulting in a richer flavor.
Southern-style home-style tofu emphasizes a lighter flavor, using more garlic, ginger, and green garlic as seasonings, resulting in a fresher taste.
It's not a matter of which is better or worse, but rather which is more suited to the tastes of local diners. After all, as the saying goes, it's not about what tastes good, but what you love to eat.
Ye Feng also pays close attention to the diners who frequently visit the Mountain Top Cottage, and makes minor adjustments to their tastes based on his observations.
For example, the Overlord Blade prefers strong flavors and likes dishes that are heavy on oil and salt, while the Ice Phoenix Witch prefers dishes that are sweet and slightly spicy.
As for the tastes of the Shushan Sword Sect disciples, Ye Feng naturally knew them like the back of his hand. With his current level of brain development, even Tianhe-2 couldn't compare. He was more than capable of being used as a big data processor.
Adjusting flavors according to diners' preferences is also one way to suppress the blessings bestowed by heaven and earth.
He also understood that the trigger condition for this blessing from heaven and earth was that, theoretically, all the ingredients had to be at their most perfect state, and the proportions of various seasonings had to be at their theoretically optimal balance.
In this way, he can precisely control the dishes blessed by heaven and earth, giving diners at the mountain retreat the most delicious experience and his disciples the ultimate effect.
...
Since the name "home-style tofu" sounds so familiar, the method of making it is naturally very simple.
The most important point is to select high-quality tofu, preferably tofu made with brine, as this type of tofu has a better texture and flavor.
Then pay attention to the seasoning combination, and do not add too much seasoning, so as not to mask the natural flavor of the tofu.
Finally, during the cooking process, it should be simmered slowly over medium-low heat to allow the tofu to fully absorb the flavors of the seasonings without breaking it apart.
These were all a piece of cake for Ye Feng, and in just a short while, plates of home-style tofu were ready.
Just as Ba Dao was about to unleash his full power, the door to the private room creaked open.
Looking at the plate of delicious food and bowl of white rice laid out in front of him again, Ba Dao felt that this grudge was not unbearable. After all, one needs to eat well to have the strength to take revenge, right?
Picking up a piece of tofu, the same ingredient, it has a completely different texture from the first sizzling tofu dish.
It's fragrant, crispy, rich, and juicy. In terms of taste, it's no worse than any meat dish. Pair it with a big mouthful of rice, and it's simply amazing.
