Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 406-Lunch Preparation
The transparent glass kettle is filled with Tianshan snow water.

Put the dried roselle and rose flowers into the pot. After a while, fine bubbles will cover the inner wall of the glass pot.

The bubbles dance lightly in the water, adding a touch of vitality and vigor to this tranquil picture.

With the lid closed, one can clearly see through the transparent glass the delicate petals slowly unfurling in the water, like dancing fairies, while pieces of red clouds drift down from the petals to the bottom of the bottle.

The charming floral fragrance began to release, and soon filled the entire kitchen. The inside of the glass kettle had completely turned rose red.

Take out a bamboo sieve and place it on a large glass water cup. Pour the water in the glass kettle onto the sieve and into the cup.

Take out a basin and pour in water chestnut powder. Pour slightly cooled Roselle water into half of the basin and stir gently.

Although it was just a beginning, it had already caused a great shock to several chefs.

That kind of concentration is something that not everyone can possess.

It is a state of mind that one enters when one is most calm, enjoys cooking the most, and pays least attention to external things.

They have all cooked in this state occasionally, and the taste of the food they made every time was enough to make them proud.

But this state is not something you can enter just by wanting to. I am entangled in mundane affairs and my thoughts are in a mess. It is already a great achievement if I can force myself to cook.

But he just walked in casually in front of us, treating us as if we were air.

Kurban looked at Wang Fan with envy. He had been in this state before, when he had just finished his apprenticeship and started learning to cook.

I cook over and over again without getting tired of it, and every improvement makes me ecstatic.

I don’t know when this fanatical love turned into a job, just like my favorite song being set as my alarm clock. I seem to have forgotten the love I had in the past.

I was taught a lesson right after I arrived, Kurban sighed in his heart.

Wang Fan had already picked up the basin and sifted the mixed Horseshoe Rose paste. The pink and thick raw paste was once again collected into a large cup.

He heated the remaining half of the Roselle water again and added some sugar, but Wang Fan turned off the heat just as it boiled.

Take out the raw water that has just been filtered, slowly pour most of it into the cup, stirring it slowly while pouring until it is completely blended together. This is a cooked water.

Pour the raw starch water into the cooked starch water and stir evenly again. A pink raw and cooked paste is ready.

After sifting it again, Wang Fan poured the final paste into the mold.

As steady as an old dog!

These were the four big words that flashed through the minds of Kurban and the others at the same time.

Words with the word "dog" in them are usually insults, but "as steady as an old dog" is definitely not one of them.

They watched every step of Wang Fan, and the word "stable" was the standard throughout all his actions.

They can do all these steps, but their anxious nature once they enter the kitchen makes it difficult for them to complete all these steps one by one.

Take the three sieving for example. You might get 100 points after three sieving, but you can also get 95 points after two sieving. This 5-point difference is something that only professionals can taste. So why bother yourself again to get those dispensable 5 points?
But he didn't. Not only did he firmly grasp those 5 points, but he also used his superb neatness to make the 100-point paper score into 120 points!
He doesn't even know what saving trouble means!
This crystal cake needs to be steamed for 30 minutes, and the beef that has been stewed for more than two hours is just ready to be served.

After taking the food out of the pot, Wang Fan quickly picked out the seasonings and side dishes in the bowl, leaving only the grayish-white beef.

Blanch the carrots and fry the potatoes until golden brown...

He took out a casserole, spread carrots and potatoes on the bottom of the casserole, then put in dates with the pits removed, and then put the stewed beef on top. Wang Fan then started to stir-fry the sauce.

Add butter to the base oil and stir-fry the noodles over low heat. When they turn golden brown, add DJI's specialty tomato sauce, and then add a little water while stir-frying. After the water is absorbed by the noodles, add water again, and repeat this process again and again until it is thoroughly stir-fried into a thick soup.

Add salt, sugar, white pepper, and a little bit of local white wine from DJI, stir well and pour into the casserole containing beef.

Cover the lid and simmer again, which also takes half an hour.

The next step is to make Wensi tofu, which is a pure show of skill.

Several chefs, including Zhuo Qianqian, stared with their eyes wide open, watching the kitchen knife in Wang Fan's hand constantly flying up and down. The speed was so fast that they could see afterimages in their eyes, and all they could hear in their ears was the "clang clang" sound made by the constant collision of the kitchen knife and the chopping board.

The sound of the knife suddenly stopped, and everyone looked over and saw that the originally square piece of tender tofu had been slanted on the chopping board.

Wang Fan picked up the water and gently splashed it on the tofu. After cutting off the tofu head, he continued to cut it.

At this time, the tender tofu seemed to have no bones, and looked more like a pool of egg liquid that had just come into contact with hot oil.

Kurban and others had only heard of this kind of kung fu dish, but had never seen it, because it had nothing to do with DJI.

But seeing someone demonstrate extreme knife skills for the first time still made them exclaim in delight. But the situation before them seemed a little different from what they had heard?
"This looks clumpy. Did it get cut badly?"

"Isn't it said to be as thin as a hair? Why does it look more like pieces to me?"

"It looks like it needs to be put in water. Look carefully, the knife skills are amazing. It can be cut so quickly."

Wang Fan had finished cutting the tofu. He gently lifted it up with the blade of the knife and placed it in a large bowl beside him. He did not rush to clean up the tofu, but took out the crystal cake from the steamer.

This greatly disappointed the audience who were waiting to witness a miracle, but when Wang Fan gently poured the peony crystal cake out of the mold, their disappointment was replaced by shock, and Zhuo Qianqian's eyes were even about to show stars.

The crystal clear peony flowers can only be described as lifelike, with each petal clearly visible and emitting a moving luster.

Wang Fan carefully placed the peony flowers in a small bowl, and then poured the previously boiled Roselle water into the cup.

Finally, take out the osmanthus honey and put a little bit of it in the center of the peony flower. A lifelike and brightly blooming peony flower will appear in front of everyone.

The perfect appearance made several people intoxicated, and they murmured in amazement.

"Oh my! Oh my Adasi!"

"How can this be an imitation? Real peonies aren't this beautiful, are they?"

"It's incredible, it's like magic."
