Lin Xiao’s hands moved with a demonic speed.
One could even see afterimages in the air!!
Everyone clearly saw the silver blade seemingly pierce through the tofu, yet why did the tofu’s shape not change at all??
The chefs looked at each other in confusion.
For a moment, they didn’t even know how to describe it.
However, even the professionals couldn’t quite understand what Lin Xiao was doing.
Because his knife skills were too fast, they could only see the blade moving up and down across the tofu.
Everyone leaned in closer and closer…
Wanting to see exactly what was happening.
” What on earth is he doing…
dicing it??
”
” This is the first time I’ve seen someone dice tofu like this.
”
” I don’t get it.
The tofu isn’t moving at all.
I’m starting to doubt my own eyes.
”
Dicing???
That was underestimating Lin Xiao a bit too much.
Done!!
He sheathed the knife!!!
Lin Xiao was seen lifting the cleaver and placing it aside.
This massive block of tender tofu looked exactly the same as before.
Even after enduring the ravages of the cleaver, it appeared completely unharmed.
It even made the customers wonder if the boss was performing a magic trick??
Like one of those tricks where you cut a rope in half and then restore it??
At this moment…
The thick, golden chicken broth in the iron pot next to him had begun to boil.
Supporting the large block of tender tofu with his left hand, Lin Xiao slowly moved it toward the chicken broth.
” Guoba!
High heat.
”
” Coo coo coo!!
”
The little yellow bear spewed scorching flames from its mouth, causing the temperature of the iron pot on the stove to rise once again.
They watched as…
The chicken broth in the iron pot reached a rolling boil, tumbling back and forth as streams of steam billowed outward.
Now was the time!!
Lin Xiao slid the tofu into the pot.
The very moment the tender tofu entered the pot, it was immediately dispersed by the bubbling chicken broth!!
They saw…
The tender tofu blossomed like a flower, instantly scattering apart.
Countless fine strands of tofu spread out.
At this point, one could no longer use words like “piece” or “block” to describe the tofu.
It had to be described by the “strand”!!!
It was barely thicker than a human hair. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Everyone saw the process of the tofu blooming with absolute clarity.
They were so dumbfounded that their eyes nearly dropped to the floor!!
It was just as beautiful as the blooming of a Glaze Lily, a specialty flower of Liyue.
Who could have imagined…
Lin Xiao hadn’t been performing a magic trick earlier, nor had he been dicing the tofu.
He was julienning the tender tofu!!!
Slicing it into threads as fine as hair!!!!
Xiangling stood there blankly, her red lips slightly parted in shock.
Her adorable eyes gazed at Lin Xiao as if she were looking at a god.
” How is this possible…
”
” How can such knife skills even exist…
”
The moment the tofu strands were dispersed…
Lin Xiao hurriedly told Guoba to lower the heat!!
Only then did the fresh chicken broth stop bubbling fiercely.
Otherwise, the delicate tofu strands would be torn apart by the boiling broth in no time.
Countless strands of tofu drifted evenly within the fresh chicken broth…
As for Lin Xiao…
He was once again defying human limits…
Shiitake mushrooms, ham, winter bamboo shoots, chicken breast.
A large pile of ingredients was laid out in front of Lin Xiao, resting on the cutting board!!
He had to slice all the ingredients into fine threads and slide them into the pot before the tofu overcooked and disintegrated.
In truth, he could have easily added the other ingredients before the tofu.
But Lin Xiao didn’t want to do that.
He wanted the tofu to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients while in a state of “almost melting but not quite. ”
He truly wanted to perfect every single step!!
He was seen…
Twirling the cleaver in his hand, picking up a splash of water, and sprinkling it evenly over the ingredients.
This would ensure that the ingredients scattered into individual threads upon entering the pot!
The moment his left hand pressed against the ingredients, he once again began slicing like a madman…
Thump, thump, thump, thump~~
A dense, rapid succession of chopping sounds echoed in everyone’s ears.
” Medium heat!
”
Then, one ingredient after another was swept into the pot.
The moment the chicken broth bubbled, the ingredients bloomed in the pot one by one…
Stunning…
Breathtaking…
Threads of winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, chicken breast, lettuce…
They bloomed in the pot like vibrant, colorful flowers, complementing the already dispersed tofu strands.
It was truly like a picturesque scroll of flowers blooming in the snow.
The beautiful scene was fleeting, but it etched this moment into everyone’s memory forever.
Lin Xiao placed the wooden lid over the iron pot.
Every passing second and minute was perfectly calculated in his mind.
Even with his eyes closed, it was as if he could see exactly what was happening inside the pot beneath the lid.
His eyes snapped open!!
” Guoba, stop the fire!
”
Guoba opened his mouth and directly inhaled all the Pyro elements back in, which was incredibly convenient!!
The moment the lid was lifted.
Along with the rising steam, Lin Xiao directly dipped the ladle in.
Bowl after bowl of Wensi Tofu Soup was served.
Before long, the entire stove counter was covered with bowls of Wensi Tofu Soup.
Looking closely into the bowls…
The ingredients inside were distributed with utmost uniformity.
The tofu resembled a Glaze Lily, while the other ingredients served as its embellishments, reversing the previous imagery of flowers in the snow.
Every single bowl was identical in this regard!!
Lin Xiao ladled with the precision of a master chef who had been making Wensi Tofu Soup for decades.
Every scoop was perfect!!
The ingredients were balanced, and the presentation was flawless.
” Perfect in color, aroma, and taste”—this phrase was practically made for this moment…
And thus, a bowl of all-natural, completely unseasoned, state-banquet-level Wensi Tofu Soup was completed.
The crowd stared at the art-like creations on the counter, intoxicated by the fresh and savory aroma filling the air.
This…
Was this truly something you could eat for three thousand Mora???
Although few among them had ever dined at the luxurious Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Kiosk, they had all heard the descriptions.
But after witnessing Lin Xiao’s cooking techniques with their own eyes…
This was what you called legendary-tier technique!!!
Selling this for only three thousand Mora meant the boss was taking a huge loss.
This level of craftsmanship could easily be called the peak of luxury!!
No matter which nation’s high-end restaurant this was served in, a bowl would cost at least tens of thousands of Mora.
” B-Boss…
can we take our bowls now?
”
” Isn’t eating something this fancy for a late-night snack a bit too extravagant?
”
” Genuine question here, is the three thousand Mora just a deposit…?
”
Everyone gazed at the crystal-clear bowls of Wensi Tofu Soup, yet they hesitated to pick them up, terrified of ruining such a work of art.
However, their mouths were already watering uncontrollably.
” What nonsense are you talking about!
”
” Food is meant to be eaten.
It is my greatest honor as a chef that it can enter your mouths.
”
Hiss~~~
The theme has been elevated!
The boss’s magnanimity was truly on another level!!
Standing off to the side, Xiangling was completely awestruck…
