Jin Dachuan nodded, and he also understood Chen Nian's intentions in his heart.
The meaning of aging is to make yourself cut from hard to soft.
Maybe it would be like the way before when I started to cut the tender tofu, but Kim Dachuan didn't know if this would work, but this was also a way of thinking, so Kim Dachuan picked up the kitchen knife and prepared to give it a try.
Just like before, Jin Dachuan planned to cut the tofu into thin slices first and then cut it into shreds.
He actually never had much contact with northern tofu. Due to different living customs, he had been exposed to the delicate southern tofu since he was a child.
But even so, I have heard of Bei Tofu. I have used this tofu several times to make dishes, but the chorizo ​​is also made according to the northern method, stir-fry it in the pot, or fry it.
Cutting tofu is a bit different from cutting radish. Although there is some moisture on the radish, it won’t be too much.
So even when cutting, you don’t have to worry about the carrot sticking to the kitchen knife.
But tofu is different. Even the northern tofu contains a lot of moisture. When cut, it will stick to the knife. After being stuck to the kitchen knife, it will be squeezed down by later generations and fall down.
But in this case, even tender tofu requires some water on the tofu and a kitchen knife.
That is to increase the weight of tofu again.
First, Jin Dachuan carefully cut off a layer of old skin outside the tofu, but after getting a lot of water, the old skin of the tofu was still stuck to the knife, mainly because the contact area was large, so this is actually normal.
Then Jin Dachuan cut the tofu into half and broke it in half. As a result, the tofu was not that big, and the area of ​​a piece was reduced by half.
Immediately afterwards, Jin Dachuan began to slice the tofu that had removed the old skin into thin slices, but at this time he encountered difficulties again.
Because when Jin Dachuan was cutting, he found that although he could find the right position and ensure the stability of his hands and knife, he had no way to cut it completely, even though the tofu has now become one-half of the original size.
Always, before cutting a slice, the tofu in the middle will break, or cracks appear on the surface of the tofu.
At first, Kim Dachuan didn't believe in evil, but after trying it a few times, he put down his kitchen knife: "No, I can't do this, no wonder, or my skills are not good. Is this the gap between us?"
He subconsciously thought that Aged can do it, but he couldn't do it himself.
Chen Nian walked up to replace Jin Dachuan with a smile, picked up the kitchen knife and started to attack the piece of tofu.
Also very careful.
But the tofu cut in this way was like Jin Dachuan just now, and it was impossible to cut it into the same thickness as Wensi tofu.
"What's going on?" Jin Dachuan was a little puzzled. He didn't think that Chen Nian was deliberately cutting the tofu, but if it wasn't intentional, wouldn't that mean that Chen Nian could not do it?
"Because the degree of closeness between these two kinds of tofu is different, even if it is used for carving at some banquets or in a specific occasion, most of the tofu is tender, and the northern tofu cannot be said to be without it. However, if you use the northern tofu for this artistic processing, you will make some carvings on it, and then pour soy sauce and other ingredients into colors to form a pattern."
Chen Nian said and explained: "It's not that Bei Tofu must not be able to do it, maybe it's just that I can't do it with my current ability."
After hearing this, Jin Dachuan's eyes became more confused: "So what does this have to do with Chewensi Tofu?"
"It doesn't matter." Chen Nian said frankly.
Serious eyes.
But Kim Dachuan thinks that Chen Nian may be joking.
Otherwise, saying this would be the same as saying something.
Except for this one sentence, it has no meaning to Jin Dachuan.
While talking about the old age, he took out a piece of tender tofu and placed it on the board. He followed the normal steps of making Wensi tofu and put it on some water. He then put the kitchen knife through the water.
Skillfully remove the old skin of tofu on the upper, lower and left and right, and then divide the tofu into two layers in half.
Then I started to slice it skillfully.
The movements were gentle and precise. Before the tofu could react, Agedan had already completed an in and out.
After slicing, the tofu was smeared with a kitchen knife and poured it in one direction.
Then I started to move skillfully, and the spacing was very subtle at each time. If I only looked at it a few times, I might even wonder if the old kitchen knife was cut in the same place, just repeating mechanical movements.
There wasn't even a trace of water splash, only the sound proved that the old guy had come again and again.
But in fact, if you keep staring at me, you can see that the old kitchen knife is constantly moving forward.
The cut tofu looks like a ball of paste, which is mainly because I have made some water for a while.
But it is precisely because of this that the cut tofu is not stuck to the kitchen knife due to its own weight, the adhesion between the tofu and the tofu, and the old vertical knife. Instead, it is cut honestly and stays in place.
While cutting the tofu for aging, he said, "Those are actually just some of the most basic principles. Just like the sand aggregated by water will not be as strong as the same amount of soil and water. You can turn the soil into mud and knead it into various shapes, or even rub it very finely, but the sand will not work, because the particles of the sand itself are very large, so the gap between the north and south tofu is here."
Jin Dachuan thought in his mind while listening that what Chen Nian said seemed to have nothing to do with Wensi Tofu.
It just explains why the northern tofu cannot be cut into very thin slices.
Just as he was thinking, Chen Nian's knife suddenly stopped: "Master Jin, I cut two halves in total just now. I've finished cutting these half, so you can try the other half."
He said that this old man asked Jin Dachuan to come over and take over his position again.
Jin Dachuan picked up the kitchen knife and subconsciously began to prepare according to his experience just now, finding the right angle to cut the tofu.
Chen Nian didn't bother, just watched Jin Dachuan cutting tofu on the chopping board.
Jin Dachuan's mind was thinking that it was all the experience just now, that it was meticulous when cutting radishes just now, that even if he was so serious when cutting northern tofu, the tofu that he cut in the end would still break.
When he cut all the tofu into thin slices, he suddenly found that the tofu was cut very thin by himself.
"Cut it into shreds, it's like cutting carrots just now." Chen Nian knew that Jin Dachuan should have no problem with the slices in front. There was no problem with cutting here. Cutting it here is just a way to go with the flow and it will be natural.
Sure enough, the tofu shredded tofu cut by Jin Dachuan looks basically no different from what Aged just cut.
Even if the layman sees it as a ball of paste, the insider sees it as the thickness is basically the same.
The rest is to put the pot.
First, the tofu cut aged ones are put into the pot. Under the gentle stirring, the tofu shreds spread out like a lingering mist, with extremely thin roots, misty and pleasing to the eye.
Secondly, the tofu shredded by Jin Dachuan was cut into the pot, which was also very fine. Although there were a few flaws in it, it was just because it was not very skillful. However, Jin Dachuan looked surprised when he saw it!
"It's done!"
"Yes, it's done!"
"I didn't expect that something I haven't made for so long was made after you made a few words on demand. What a god!"
Chen Nian went to shook his head: "Actually nothing. I just used various methods to mess up the inherent routines in your mind, and then drove the ducks to put them on the shelves and let you cut them directly. In this case, I can basically only think of the experience just now, so this is done, but I actually just gave it a try, and I didn't expect to really swim."
"So that's it, so you don't know if it can be done. If you buy it, you have to exchange it with me?"
Chen Nian scratched his head: "You can't say that. We have to look at the result. Look, isn't it done now? When you go back, you will contact me a few times, and there will be no problem in the future."
Jin Dachuan also has to admit that Chen Nian’s wild approach is indeed useful.
At least the problem that I have been bothered for a long time has been solved.
But just as the two of them were talking in the kitchen, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Birth? What? Born? Who gave birth?"
Chapter completed!
