Chapter 12 Four Bowls

   Then eat it!

Xu Guangling sat down, but he was not in a hurry. He first sniffed deeply the aroma of hot water emanating from the top of the bowl, and then used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of soup on the top and put it into his mouth. inside.

   The same as in the dream, using the same porcelain spoon.

  Like in the dream, the first bite was the clear soup.

   Of course, the dream is the authentic "nine-grade white jade soup", and his, at best, is just a simplified version of the "two-grade white jade soup".

   and also crowned with a "product", it is quite polite. Because it is not high-quality tofu, plus potatoes are not high-quality, and there is no mushroom that is likely to play a key role, in fact, seriously, this is a fake and shoddy product.

   Therefore, Xu Guangling was mentally prepared when he put the clear soup into his mouth.

   Anyway, it's better than the meals he cooked before, right?

   But the next moment, when the clear soup spread out in his mouth, it is no exaggeration to say that Xu Guangling was really shocked!

  How can it be so fresh!

Mushrooms are fresh, he knows, monosodium glutamate is fresh, he knows, but he knows even more that in the soup just now, there are no mushrooms and no monosodium glutamate, there are ordinary and common potatoes and tofu. !

   Who can tell him where this umami comes from?

   And it's not ordinary fresh!

It was just a mouthful of soup, but Xu Guangling felt that his entire mouth was awakening, and his taste buds stretched out incomparably at this moment, as if rain had ushered in a long-drought desert, so every bit of rain turned into sweet rain. , penetrating, penetrating, penetrating rapidly in all directions...

   During this kind of penetration, Xu Guangling felt that his whole body was full of energy, as if all his internal organs were awakened at this moment with the awakening of his mouth, and his taste buds were stretched, and as a result, he felt even more hungry!

   The feeling of hunger, at this moment, presents at least a tenfold increase!

  Xu Guangling knows that when people are hungry, everything tastes good, but there is a limit to that. And the fresh fragrance he feels from this soup now definitely exceeds this limit.

Far more than the!

   For the first time, I can't wait.

  Xu Guangling finished the bowl of soup almost twice as fast as he usually eats. And at this time, he also discovered what the benefits of cutting shredded potatoes and shredded tofu so thinly. Xu Guangling is not clear about other benefits for the time being, but the taste that seems to melt in his mouth, he deeply understands and feels it.

   As a result, tofu and potatoes, which were originally normal, seem to have become uncommon under this treatment, and people can't help but feel that this is a wonderful thing, and this thing is worth it.

  If you devoured them, or swallowed them hastily, you would be a little sorry for them.

  This is what Xu Guangling did for the first bowl. Maybe it was the first time he tasted this peculiar smell, and it was from his own hands, so he was a little excited, or maybe it was because he was too hungry?

However, when the second bowl was placed in front of him again, Xu Guangling finally regained his due composure and calmness. He scooped shredded potatoes, shredded tofu, a mixture of the two, and a clear soup with a spoon. I sipped slowly and tastefully.

   It was also at this time that Xu Guangling felt that it was the first time in his life that he knew potatoes and tofu.

   It was also at this time that Xu Guangling had some sympathy for Young Master Jia's personal signature, "Only the landscape and food, this life should not be let down."

   In fact, in the past few years, Xu Guangling has visited a lot of places, and Xu Guangling has eaten a lot of delicious food. There have been novelties and surprises, but the concept of "food" has not really been established in his mind.

   And at this time, unexpectedly, the concept was established, and immediately came to life incomparably.

  The first bowl, the second bowl, the third bowl, the fourth bowl.

  It was the first time to be a chef in the true sense. Although he had the experience in his dreams, Xu Guangling realized at this time that he might have added a little more water, perhaps less would be better? However, another fact was that he had wiped out the entire four bowls of potatoes, tofu and soup before he even realized it.

  The pot is clean, absolutely clean, and it really doesn't even need to be washed.

  It was only after drinking the white jade soup that Xu Guangling understood why the soup did not contain anything except salt, such as onions, ginger, garlic, and oil.

If you put green onions, the taste is too strong, it will be overwhelming, red and purple, and if you put **** and garlic, not to mention the problem of taste, just from the taste, it will cause the result that the soup is extremely smooth, like the result of being stuck in the throat, and tofu itself, It contains a certain amount of oil.

  The shredded potato and shredded tofu, which are as thin as threads, are evenly distributed throughout the soup and are everywhere.

  I don’t put a drop of oil, but it’s just right and doesn’t look dull.

   Conversely, if you put oil, even if you put a little, the soup will feel a little greasy. Maybe I didn't notice it during the first bowl, and slightly felt it during the second bowl. After the third bowl and the fourth bowl, it is estimated that people will feel a little bored.

   That is to say, if you put oil in this soup, it will be superfluous. Putting oil on, or not putting oil on it, is the difference between a painter and a painter, or the difference between an ordinary painter and a master of painting.

  Xu Guangling felt that he had gained insight again.

   However, there is still a little sequelae.

   Normally, two bowls of this soup, even soup and water, are just right, and considering that today is a hungry day, three bowls are acceptable. But four bowls, in any case, are a bit too much. Because of this, Xu Guangling felt that his belly was slightly swollen.

   is still too restless, just a bowl of soup made him a little carried away.

   Xu Guangling shook his head slightly, but did not intend to blame himself too much. One is that last night's mood changes were too dramatic, which he knew about himself, and the other, this soup, after all, was his first "masterpiece" in his life, um, with his current vision and taste, Truly a masterpiece.

   Although this so-called masterpiece may be nothing compared to the real "Nine-Pin White Jade Soup" in the dream.

   But isn't there a word in China called "Brooms are precious", people have the same heart, and it has been true since ancient times. If there is a chance in the future, he will try to make the real "Nine-Pin White Jade Soup", and by the way, he can also ask Jia Gongzi, a gourmet, to taste it.

   But what about the future...

  Thinking of this, Xu Guangling remembered yesterday's change again.

   At this time, he calmed down and thought about it. The blue light that poured into his forehead was probably not the soul of a chef. At least, even if it was a chef, it could not be an ancient chef. However, the bluestone is indeed very old, as can be seen from the mottled deposits on its surface.

  Thinking of bluestone, Xu Guangling couldn't help but come to the desk again.

  After last night's change, he threw the bluestone and the carving knife away at that time, and he didn't bother to look at it again, but at this time, he picked it up again and looked at it carefully.

   Then Xu Guangling discovered a strange thing.

   That carving knife, at this time, seemed to be deeply entrapped in the bluestone, or as if it was connected with the bluestone, and could not be pulled out! Xu Guangling clearly remembered that at the end of last night, the carving knife was cut like tofu.

   What is the situation now?

  Xu Guangling remembered a description, it was like putting a chopstick or a spoon in a bowl filled with water, it was easy and unobstructed when placed, but later, the water turned into ice...

   That seems to be the case now.

  The part of the bluestone that was accidentally penetrated by his carving knife yesterday has been "frozen".
