Reborn – Super Chef

"I hope you can help me deal with that woman Zhang Ying." Lin Zhengdao said to Ye Chui seriously.

Ye Chui was stunned for a moment: "Uncle, I am sincere to Weiwei."

"..." Lin Zhengdao rolled his eyes and continued, "Zhang Ying is the health preservation expert my mother met in Yanjing. Since my father passed away, my mother has always been fond of health preservation, because she is very obedient to Zhang Ying. For Ying, this is a good thing, but I think Zhang Ying is a little suspicious, it seems that someone deliberately put her next to my mother."

Ye Chui's expression became serious: "A rival in business?"

"Hehe." Lin Zhengdao smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's okay to talk about business opponents, but I'm more worried about the people around me. You know that I moved to Xizhou some time ago because of Hai Mei's illness. I Yanjing The business over there has also been completely handed over to a trustworthy person. Now that Haimei is recovering, Weiwei will go to Yanjing to study in college next year, so during this period of time I am preparing to take over the company's affairs again, but at this time my mother came To Xizhou."

Ye Chui understood Lin Zhengdao's meaning: "You mean that someone you trusted in the first place will use Lafayette's influence on you to make you have no time to separate yourself during this time, and then you can take the opportunity to do something?"

Lin Zhengdao looked at Ye Chui in admiration: "You are very smart, indeed, these two months are a very important period, if my mother stays in Xizhou, she will most dislike me being busy with work, let alone let me Going to Yanjing to handle the company's affairs, if this continues, the control of the company may be taken away by someone."

The last sentence was a bit of a joke, but Ye Chui knew that Lin Zhengdao was not joking, so he said worriedly: "Then why don't you explain it to Lafayette directly?"

"My mother won't listen to this kind of reason. I said that Zhang Ying has a deep influence on her. Besides, if she knows that Zhang Ying is targeting me, she will definitely blame herself." Lin Zhengdao continued, "So I hope you can take care of Zhang Ying and let my mother leave Xizhou as soon as possible."

Ye Chui shrugged his shoulders: "Then how do you want me to deal with her?"

"Use what you are best at." Lin Zhengdao pointed to Ye Chui, "My mother didn't know what happened last night. I don't want her to know either. She is old and it is rare to trust someone so much. If she knows Zhang Ying's evil intentions will definitely hit her hard. She will also blame herself, so I hope you can impress her with delicious food. She is very concerned about what she eats. If you can impress her with delicious food, she will trust you. And you seem to have a good understanding of health preservation, I hope you can gradually replace Zhang Ying's position in my mother's heart..."

After a pause, Lin Zhengdao went on to say: "If my mother favors you more, then even Hai Mei and I can't stop the matter between you and Weiwei."

Ye Chui: "..."

Is he using his daughter to seduce him?

A touch of emotion flashed in Ye Chui's heart. Lin Zhengdao is a man with a successful career, but it is obvious that the position of family is more important in his heart. For his wife's illness, he is willing to put Yanjing's business and move to Xizhou Now, now that the control of the company is in jeopardy, he still can't bear to make his mother blame herself, and would rather use this gentle way to solve the problem. Such a man moved Ye Chui, even if it wasn't for Lin Wei, Ye Chui would definitely help him.

So Ye Chui nodded with a smile: "Well, uncle, I will completely impress Lafayette with delicious food."

Lin Zhengdao nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "My mother has a special liking for delicious dishes, but the premise is vegetarian dishes. I know that your cooking skills are very talented and amazing, but is there any way you can keep making dishes that my mother can cook?" Looking forward to the vegetarian dish? Like yesterday's boiled cabbage?"

"Don't worry, Lin Bofu, it's fine." Ye Chui smiled confidently. "Vegetarian dishes are also delicious. Impressing others with delicious food is easy for me."

"Good boy, you are really confident." Lin Zhengdao laughed out loud. Then he said with a distressed face, "This morning Zhang Ying proposed to drink light porridge and eat pickles. I'm still hungry. Why don't you make me something to eat first."

"Okay." Ye Chui said with a smile, "Vegetarian dishes?"

"No, basically I don't like meat. Get me some chicken dishes." Lin Zhengdao laughed.

"Okay, wait a minute." Ye Chui said and turned to go back to the kitchen, but thought of something in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

Tian Xiaodu was doing cutting work in the kitchen, and he heard the commotion outside. Seeing Ye Chui return to the kitchen, he took the initiative to take out the chicken from the freezer next to him, but Ye Chui shook him with a smile Shaking his head: "No chicken."

"No chicken?" Tian Xiaodu was a little surprised, "Mr. Lin doesn't want to eat chicken dishes?"

"Hehe, chicken dishes don't have to be made with chicken." Ye Chui smiled mysteriously and continued, "Just give me those tofu skins."

"Master, are you making vegetarian chicken?" Tian Xiaodu quickly understood.

"That's right."

Vegetarian chicken is a soy-based product, a classic dish imitating meat, and it is the main delicacy in temple dishes. Temple dishes are vegetarian dishes. Monks abstain from meat, but they cannot refuse the temptation of delicious food, so they gradually researched There is a method of using vegetarian dishes to imitate meat dishes, which is also the mystery of food. Although vegetarian chicken is vegetarian, its taste is very similar to real muscle. You can't tell whether you are eating real chicken or vegetarian chicken - of course, this requires very high cooking skills.

It is worth mentioning that vegetarian chicken is not uncommon in this world, and because of the vegetarian movement, the practice of imitating meat was once very popular. People have no meat to eat, so naturally they want to replace it with other methods. , so Tian Xiaodu is no stranger to vegetarian chicken.

It's a pity that the practice of using vegetarian chicken and duck to imitate meat has already changed after 80 years of development. Let me ask you, how do people know that they imitate it if you can't eat real chicken and duck? What is the difference between vegetarian chicken and vegetarian duck?

After being reborn, Ye Chui also ate imitation vegetarian chicken. It tasted good, but it gave the impression that it was a tofu product, which had long since lost the essence of using vegetarian meat to imitate meat.

Monastery dishes, as delicacies developed by the monks, did not appear on many Manchu banquets, but this does not mean that their taste is not outstanding, it is just because the Manchu banquets do not have vegetarian rules, and the temple dishes are more or less out of date.

And Ye Chui is also on a whim now, planning to make a vegetarian chicken dish, to see if Lin Zhengdao can tell whether it is halal or not.

The main raw material of vegetarian chicken is tofu skin, and it is not the fried tofu skin. The tofu skin is shaped like a round stick, tied tightly and cooked. At this time, the tofu skin has become lumpy, with distinct layers, and the taste is close to Chicken, of course, the most important thing is still to come. Slice the stick-shaped tofu skin and deep-fry until golden. At this time, if you don’t check carefully, it’s hard to recognize that it’s tofu skin.

Then comes the most important part of the vegetarian chicken. It is necessary to cover the tofu skin with condiments, so that the tofu skin can look like real ones. Set up a pot, pour in an appropriate amount of water, add aniseed, soy sauce, bay leaves, cinnamon and other condiments , the aroma of each seasoning is part of the taste, so that they can be combined to produce the unique aroma of chicken.

Wait for the water to boil, put the fried tofu slices into the pot and cook, and wait until the soup is about to dry up before taking out the tofu.

The tofu at this moment is 80 to 90% similar to chicken in terms of shape and taste, and the next step is to use this fake chicken to make dishes. Ye Chui still remembers when Lin Zhengdao ate spicy chicken for the first time. I was very happy, so I used this vegetarian chicken to make a plate of spicy chicken.

The red chili and the yellowish vegetarian chicken complement each other. Tian Xiaodu picks up a piece of vegetarian chicken with chopsticks and puts it in his mouth. It feels soft and tough, delicious and mellow, with the unique fragrance of chicken. There is also spicy chicken. The spiciness of this dish is so exciting - if he hadn't witnessed Ye Chui's cooking process just now, if someone told Tian Xiaodu that this is a completely vegetarian dish at this time, he would definitely not believe it.

"Master, you actually made chicken taste out of tofu. I know how to make vegetarian chicken, and I've studied it, but I didn't expect that it could be faked." Tian Xiaodu said in amazement.

"The main point of vegetarian chicken is seasoning. If you want to adjust the taste of chicken, you should at least be familiar with the taste of chicken. However, the meat of the eighty years is poisonous. Although the method of vegetarian chicken has been handed down, the seasoning method has long been Losing the charm, it is understandable that the vegetarian chicken made is plausible." Ye Chui explained with a smile.

Put this spicy chicken dish on a plate, along with a bowl of rice, and served it in front of Lin Zhengdao.

"Spicy chicken?" Lin Zhengdao laughed immediately when he saw this dish, "I still remember the first time I ate the taste of your spicy chicken. At that time, your recipe was sold to Wan Laifu, and later because of business For the above reason, I went to Wanlaifu to eat a few times, but it was not as authentic as yours, heh, today I can enjoy the taste of this dish.”

Having said that, he hurriedly picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, ate it with a satisfied face, and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's the taste!"

"Didn't you notice any difference?" Ye Chui asked with a smile.

"A different place?" Lin Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, "Well, the taste of this chicken seems to be slightly different, it seems to be more resilient, maybe it has been specially processed, but it also tastes more enjoyable, very good."

"Hehe, as long as you like to eat." Ye Chui said with a smile.

After all, Lin Zhengdao is not a gourmet gourmet like Mr. Han, so it is normal not to be able to taste that it is not chicken, but Ye Chui doubts it. The vegetarian chicken that came out? (~^~)

PS:  Vegetarian chicken is actually sold in many places, but the taste is not authentic. You can easily taste tofu. However, Cannon watched a TV show in which a vegetarian chicken made by a master chef was full of vegetarian ingredients, but he was stunned. People can't tell the truth from the fake~~~~~ It's amazing, so I ask for a monthly ticket and a recommended ticket~~
