Mu Xingzhi was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion - although the strands of white in the golden soup did indeed resemble egg custard, the egg custard should be light yellow and not this delicate white.
"Since it's a 'thank you banquet', it's natural that the person being thanked is invited first." With that said, Su Qingluan handed one of the white porcelain spoons to Mu Xingzhi.
Then she turned to look at Songbo: "Although Songbo won't dine with me, I should also thank you."
But Song Bo waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't take Mrs. Su's 'thank you' as it's all the boss's intention."
Su Qingluan shook his head: "You are a warm-hearted and kind person, and you have benefited a lot from me and the whole 'Su Ji'!" Even with Mu Xingzhi's intention, Songbo was only following orders, but he did not actually help. He was indeed Song Bo, and she always remembered this hard work in her heart.
Songbo kept saying that he didn't dare to take it seriously, so he should, but the next moment, this kind of tender and touching scene was broken up by his words - "Master, please try the egg drop soup made by Mrs. Su! Drink it! It’s absolutely warm!”
Su Qingluan's mouth twitched: "That... is not egg drop soup..."
"Ah? Isn't it?" Song Bo couldn't help but look over when he heard this, "But..." It looked like egg yolk soup that was stirred into fine pieces.
But seeing Su Qingluan's smile gradually changing from grateful to murderous, Song Bo very wisely did not say this out loud.
Mu Xingzhi put the spoon into his mouth gracefully, and then his eyes lit up - this delicate taste...
"Is this shredded tofu?" Mu Xingzhi looked over, "There's also crab meat."
Su Qingluan nodded: "The white ones are crab meat and tofu shreds, and the soup base is the soup base I made by frying crab paste and crab roe in oil."
This is a small innovation of Wensi Tofu Soup, using crab roe tofu seasoning to make Wensi Tofu Soup.
In addition, in order to enrich the taste of Wensi tofu, Su Qingluan also cut the crab leg meat, which cannot be used to make a thick golden soup like crab roe and crab paste, into strands of crab meat shreds, and mixed it with as fine as cow hair. Although the shredded tofu looks like it can be completely mixed in, it greatly enriches the taste of the original Wensi tofu, adding a salty and soft texture.
As for the soup of Wensi Tofu, the soup oozing out from the steamed crab roe and the previously cooked stock are used to achieve a more harmonious texture between the delicious taste of the river crab and the soup base.
And because the soup base uses crab roe and crab paste, the soup is not only delicious but also richer.
As soon as Song Bo smelled the delicious aroma of the soup, he understood that this seemingly ordinary "egg drop soup" was not as simple as he thought. But when Su Qingluan said that the thin silk thread was made from tofu At this time, Songbo was still startled: "Tofu, is that the piece of soft tofu I went out to buy before?"
Song Bo pointed at the soup in disbelief, but later realized that he was actually pointing at Mu Xingzhi, and quickly took his hand back.
Su Qingluan nodded.
At this time, Mu Xingzhi also put down his spoon and said with a smile: "This soup is delicious and delicate, the only one I have seen in my life."
Su Qingluan himself also took a few sips to warm his stomach. Hearing this, he smiled and shook his head: "This is not so exaggerated. In fact, as long as you have patience, you can practice Wensi Tofu very quickly - especially Songbo's skill should be It’s very stable and not difficult to learn.”
This is not something Su Qingluan said in a pleasant way. In fact, the Wensi Tofu dish does not have any particularly complicated production techniques - if I insist on saying so, it is the knife skills required to cut the tender and soft tofu into thin strips. .
However, it only requires two things - carefulness and a steady hand. As long as you have good skills, this dish is basically within your reach.
However, Songbo shook his head like a rattle: "Mrs. Su, please spare me. I prefer killing to cutting tofu..."
"Ahem!" Su Qingluan stopped the uncle in time before he said more "shocking remarks" to prevent his appetite from being ruined. "Since we've almost finished drinking this soup, let's continue with the next few courses. vegetable?"
Since soup is usually consumed before meals, it can be opened separately. However, the dishes need to be tasted at the same time, so Su Qingluan plans to "reveal" the remaining four dishes and a staple dish this time.
Anyway, they had to be revealed at the same time. Su Qingluan simply introduced which dish was closest to her in order, so the other three deeper bowls placed in front of her were opened - there was nothing else inside, but A round orange!
Then Su Qingluan opened another bowl with the same shape, which also contained an orange.
Songbo was stunned: "This orange is still steaming. This is the first time I have seen a whole orange cooked and eaten!"
Su Qingluan shook her head: "This orange peel is just a container, there is nothing else inside." Steamed oranges will be softer than raw oranges. Su Qingluan was afraid that holding the oranges directly like this would damage the shape, so she simply put them outside. Put another layer of containers to make it easier to carry.
Mu Xingzhi immediately noticed a very secret jagged cut mark above the orange. Although it was tightly covered by Su Qingluan, he still noticed it with his sharp eyes.
"This orange is very unique as a container," Mu Xingzhi said with a smile. "Oranges steamed with salt can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. It is a good nourishing food for autumn."
"Really?" Su Qingluan didn't know anything about it, "In that case, I'll give it a try to the few at home when I get back." Especially the two little ones, even though the wind and cold have basically recovered, they always feel uncomfortable at night recently. It's the cough that won't stop.
"Isn't it for the nourishing effect of oranges?" Song Bo was stunned.
Not only him, Mu Xingzhi also obviously didn't expect that Su Qingluan didn't know this.
Su Qingluan was very innocent: although she knew a little bit about "medicinal diet", she basically started from the aspect of "taste improvement". After all, many spices can be directly used as medicine.
When she studies medicinal diet, she starts from the taste. As for the properties and effects of the medicine, we really don’t know much about it.
After Su Qingluan opened the "small lid" of the orange, a delicious taste mixed with the sour and sweet smell of orange wafted out. Songboti sniffed it: "Crab meat again?"
"It's crab stuffed with oranges." Su Qingluan looked at Songbo, "What's that look in your eyes? In order to eat these twenty crabs in as many different ways as possible, I also worked very hard, okay?"
Twenty crabs! And each one weighs at least four ounces to half a catty! Although the crabs covered with crab roe make people happy when they look at them, eating too much crab paste and crab roe will make your mouth feel greasy, so Su Qingluan used various methods to relieve the greasiness - such as making soup, and such as Now here we make crab stuffed with oranges, using the sweet and sourness of the orange pulp to offset the fatness of the crab paste and crab roe.
Mu Xingzhi looked at the small spoon Su Qingluan placed next to the crab-stuffed orange and couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this the one placed in the salt jar?"
Songbo also suddenly realized: "No wonder the little spoons look so familiar. These are used to put condiments!" However, they were usually covered with fine condiment powder, but this time they were carefully cleaned by Su Qingluan. Only then did he reveal his original smooth appearance.
So much so that he, who was used to it, didn’t recognize it for a while!
