In the kitchen, He Yunting watched Liu Zhenxing put the chicken into the meat grinder, turning it into a paste. Furthermore, he filtered it through a mesh filter several times.
Curiously, she tugged at Xie Jinglong's sleeve and asked, "Ah Long, what is Chef Liu preparing? His chicken is completely mashed into a paste. Is it still edible?"
Xie Jinglong whispered, "Shh! Keep your voice down, don't disturb them. Chef Liu is currently preparing Chicken Tofu Pudding, one of the ten classic Sichuan dishes and a national banquet dish."
As a female celebrity, He Yunting's meals are usually arranged by others, and she doesn't know much about traditional cooking.
She asked curiously, "Chicken tofu pudding? Is there such a dish in our state banquet?"
Xie Jinglong nodded and explained, "Yes, don't underestimate this dish. Chicken tofu pudding has a history of over a hundred years, and it's considered a signature dish of Sichuan cuisine. It emphasizes 'eating chicken without seeing the chicken' and 'eating meat without seeing the meat', using meat ingredients in a vegetarian form—what people call 'using meat to support the vegetarian'."

Xie Jinglong smiled and said, "Of course. We have a myriad of delicious foods in Daxia. Just the eight major cuisines alone have countless mouth-watering delicacies. None of the dishes selected for the state banquet are simple."
He Yunting nodded and said, "Yeah! That's true. When it comes to food, our Da Xia is indeed the forefather. It seems that Chef Liu is serious this time. He even brought out his signature dish, chicken tofu pudding. How can Xia Tian win?"
This time, Xie Jinglong didn't agree with her. Instead, he shook his head and retorted, "It's really hard to say this time. Who will win in the end? We'll have to wait until their dishes are finished to see the final result."
"Why? You don't think that Xia Tian can beat Chef Liu's signature dish, chicken tofu pudding, by just hitting the chicken with a knife?" He Yunting asked puzzledly.
Xie Jinglong said with a serious expression: "You are wrong. He is not knocking randomly, but making it in the traditional way."
"What do you mean?" He Yunting didn't understand the professional terms that Xie Jinglong said at all.
Xie Jinglong said, "To put it simply, Xia Tian and Chef Liu made the same dish, and the dish he's making now is also chicken tofu pudding."
