Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

The cooking of Mo Wu Tuan is not over yet.

But at this moment, the unique smell of black ink has begun to spread in the nearby air.

Indeed, as Ye Lingqing said, this smell is unacceptable to many people.

"Meow!"

Gulu couldn't stand such a smell. At this moment, he burst out of Qi Han's arms, jumped up to the wall beside him, squatted down where he could see Qi Han, and looked warily at the smell that kept emitting weird smells from a distance.

Stall.

Cats have a higher sense of smell than dogs, so this kind of smell is indeed not something that Gollum can tolerate.

Qi Han was slightly distracted by Gulu's movements. Once he was sure that Gulu was okay, his attention quickly returned to the stall.

After sniffing, Qi Han's face showed a hint of disbelief.

Is this... stinky tofu?

Yes, the strange smell floating in the air at this moment is at least 80% similar to Blue Star's stinky tofu.

Such a coincidence made Qi Han unable to sit still. He stood up and asked, "Can I look around?"

"Okay." Ye Lingqing smiled, "Many people in our village can make this Mo Wu Tuan. The method is not a secret."

After receiving the other party's permission, Qi Han came closer and watched Ye Lingqing's movements carefully.

At this moment, Ye Lingqing's cooking was coming to an end. He took a special spherical colander and slowly took out a sphere that looked like black coal from the hot oil, put it into a bowl, and then took a spoonful from another pot.

After pouring the soup and sprinkling some seasoning ingredients, he smiled slightly and said, "Boss Qi, would you like to try it now?"

"Okay." Taking a deep look at the black sphere in the bowl, Qi Han took the initiative to sit aside with the bowl in hand.

As he got closer, the odor that was particularly familiar to Qi Han slowly poured into his mouth and nose.

Anyone who has eaten stinky tofu can smell a hint of fragrance hidden deep in the stench, and Qi Han is no exception.

Looking at the black sphere whose surface was slightly bulged by the explosion and was about the size of a fist, Qi Han felt a little more familiar.

Is it really stinky tofu?

Except for the mismatched shape, there is basically not much difference between the ink-black dough in front of me and the stinky tofu in the previous life.

"Boss Qi, originally Mo Wu Tuan should be eaten with a small spoon, but after I came to Shrek City, I found that your chopsticks are more suitable for tasting Mo Wu Tuan, so... you won't mind, right?" Ye Lingqing handed over

He came over with a pair of chopsticks and asked nervously.

Judging from his tone, he seemed a little embarrassed because he used the chopsticks that Qi Han introduced.

"Of course I don't mind." Qi Han smiled hoarsely, took the chopsticks handed over by Ye Lingqing, and carefully pierced the surface of the Mo Wu Tuan.

"Click!"

With a slight crunching sound, the crispy black skin was easily broken open, revealing the light yellow interior. A richer smell of stinky tofu also poured into his nose as the skin was broken open.

middle.

Qi Han kept his expression, picked up a chopstick and put it directly into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, he nodded secretly.

It is indeed similar to the method of making stinky tofu.

Although the Mo Wu Tuan in front of you is still somewhat different from the real stinky tofu, the principles of the two are most likely similar.

The unique black color on the surface of stinky tofu and the stinky smell emitted during the cooking process all originate from the brine.

The raw materials used to ferment and make brine contain black tempeh. After fermentation, the brine will turn black. Therefore, after fresh tofu is cut into pieces and soaked for a period of time, the resulting stinky tofu will appear dark black in color.

The smell also comes from this.

On the Douluo Continent, where a simple process for making tofu with brine already exists, if someone discovers this black brine by chance, then there is a possibility that delicacies similar to stinky tofu will appear.

Although I don’t know who discovered this in Zhilan Village where Ye Lingqing is located, it is obvious that Mo Wutuan is Douluo Continent’s version of stinky tofu.

Another chopstick was brought into the mouth. With the chewing process, the smell gradually faded, and the fragrance became more and more obvious. The loose and porous structure inside the ink-black dough allowed it to fully absorb the soup. Eat it at this moment.

It tastes extremely delicious.

As he tasted it, Qi Han gradually discovered the difference between the ink black dumpling and the stinky tofu.

The two brine may have some of the same raw materials, resulting in almost the same smell, but when you actually taste it, because some of the raw materials are completely different, the flavor is different.

Of course, this is not a flaw, it's just that each has a different flavor.

Ye Lingqing on the side had an excited look on her face as early as when Qi Han took the chopsticks down to taste it without hesitation.

Boss Qi didn’t care about the taste of Mo Wu Tuan!

Will he like it?

Seeing Qi Han take another bite with a relaxed expression after taking one bite, the young man became more and more excited.

However, he didn't speak until he saw Qi Han finishing the Mowu Tuan, then he suppressed his excitement and cautiously asked, "Boss Qi, what do you think of the Mowu Tuan?"

Qi Han finally came to his senses and remembered that he had not yet given a response to the boy who was waiting anxiously.

He smiled apologetically and said with some encouragement, "Very good."

Boss Qi really likes Mo Wu Tuan!

Ye Lingqing's eyes lit up. With Qi Han's recognition, all the grievances he had suffered before seemed to disappear at this moment.

This is the most powerful chef in Shrek City, and he thinks the Mo Wu Tuan I made is very good!

Is there anything more exciting than this?

"but…"

Qi Han's change of tone made Ye Lingqing feel relieved again.

Seeing that the young man became nervous again, Qi Han smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just making some small suggestions."

"Small comment?" Ye Lingqing subconsciously repeated Qi Han's words. When she realized what Qi Han meant, her eyes brightened a little.

Boss Qi gave himself some advice, could he make the Mo Wu Tuan more delicious?

"You deep-fry the Mo Wu Dumplings in hot water, right?" Qi Han said after a pause, "Perhaps, you can try frying the Mo Wu Dumplings in the pan until they are set, then take them out to control the oil, and wait until the oil temperature reaches the highest level.

, put it in the pot and fry it again?”

Qi Han actually didn't know much about stinky tofu, so he could only make some suggestions on the taste.

Through previous observations, he found that Ye Lingqing did not know about the practice of re-frying. In fact, this step is the key to making many fried foods crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

After all, there are too few fried foods in Douluo Continent, so it is possible that this simple trick has not been discovered for the time being.

"Oil control...re-explosion?" Ye Lingqing scratched her head in confusion.

Although there were some unfamiliar words in Qi Han's suggestions, he could still understand the general meaning.

Just fry the Mowu dumplings halfway, take them out, wait until the oil temperature reaches the highest level, and then fry them until they are done?

Can just such a small change make Mo Wu Tuan more delicious?

He had a little doubt in his heart, but it was Qi Han who made the suggestion, so he still believed it.

"Boss Qi, please wait a moment, I will try now."

He couldn't wait to return to the stall and fry the Mowu dumplings according to Qi Han's instructions.

Soon, a new Mowu dumpling was freshly baked.

Except that the frying process has been changed according to Qi Han's suggestion, everything else is exactly the same as before.

But at this moment, the color of the black ink ball in the bowl is obviously better, and it seems to be more attractive.

Ye Lingqing carefully picked up some with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, his eyes quickly lit up.

The surface has become crispier than before, while the inside is more tender than before. The combination of the two brings a taste that has been directly improved to a higher level than before.

Can such a small change bring such a big change to Mo Wu Tuan?

At this moment, Ye Lingqing respected Qi Han even more.

He is indeed the most powerful chef in Shrek City!

After witnessing the whole process and making sure that the young man understood what he meant, Qi Han smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it's time for me to leave."

"Boss Qi, let me see you off..."

"No need." Qi Han waved his hand, "Get ready to entertain the diners. Maybe... there will be a surprise tonight?"

After saying this, Qi Han walked towards the entrance of the alley, reached out and hugged Gulu who jumped into his arms again, with a smile on his face.

Maybe...when the business is open in the evening, I can recommend Mo Wu Tuan to the guests?

Originally, Qi Han would not have such an idea, but after tasting the Douluo Continent version of stinky tofu, he suddenly felt that it would be beneficial to give such a delicacy to his diners...

Seems interesting?
