Chapter 1026: Tofu Blossoms (II)

"A magical moment?"

Although everyone was puzzled, when they heard Yang Huairen say this, they were all fascinated, and their eyes couldn't be bigger, and they stared at the tofu balls in the black glazed porcelain bowl.

I saw Yang Huairen instruct the apprentice to take a bottle of water, put the mouth of the porcelain bottle on top of the tofu ball, and then slowly turn his wrist to let the water in the porcelain bottle slowly flow out of the mouth of the bottle, and it drips right in the middle of the tofu ball.

The tofu balls didn't look like much, but as the water dripped down, the surrounding areas gradually began to expand, and suddenly, the outermost layer of tofu slices of the tofu balls suddenly bounced around!

A thin layer of tofu is divided into five slices and cut into the shape of flower petals, and they bounce out almost simultaneously in all directions, like a budding snow lotus blooming in the wind and snow!

People who saw such a scene immediately exclaimed loudly, there is really tofu blooming! It's incredible!

And that's not the end of it, as the water continues to gently hit the tofu ball, then the second layer of tofu flakes begins to bounce around, then the third layer, and then the fourth layer......

It wasn't until the tenth layer of tofu slices that had been cut into the shape of flower petals opened up in all directions, revealing a thin column of tofu carved into the shape of a flower stamen in the middle of the tofu ball.

The whole process is coherent, Yang Huairen adjusts the speed of the water flowing out of the water bottle to control the rhythm of the tofu flowering, so the final effect is a spectacular scene of snow lotus petals opening layer by layer.

The people stretched their necks, and after seeing this scene, they all felt a great shock to their hearts!

Yang Huairen can not only carve tofu into a snow lotus flower through the cooking technique of carving, but also make it bloom, and between movement and stillness, it shows that he is beyond the scope of knife work that ordinary people understand.

Those Khitan nobles who sat upstairs and watched also felt that this scene brightened their eyes, where is this cooking, and where is this a piece of tofu?

This is art, a kind of artistic interpretation full of creativity, the beauty of which is suffocating, and makes people fall into the aftertaste of the magnificent picture and cannot extricate themselves.

Now that everyone has a new understanding of Yang Huairen's cooking skills, a bizarre idea suddenly came to their hearts, this Yang Huairen from the Song Dynasty, is he really a human being?

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The common people and those Khitan nobles may just be shocked by this beautiful picture of tofu blooming, but Ge Changhe knows how to think from the details of technology, how Yang Huairen can make a piece of tofu bloom beautifully.

In Ge Changhe's imagination, Yang Huairen should use skillful cutting techniques to divide the tofu into thin slices layer by layer in the water, but this division did not destroy the integrity of the tofu, but when the sharp knife slashed through the tofu, the pervasive water flowed into the gaps of each layer of tofu flakes.

This is not a lot of water, which ensures that the tofu flakes that have been cut into the shape of flower petals have been separated from each other, but they have maintained their original shape under the pressure of the water under water.

So after Yang Huairen finished it, when he lifted the tofu ball out of the water, the tofu was still a whole, and from the outside, it was a tofu ball, and there was no trace that it could be seen that it was a flower.

When Yang Huairen slowly poured water on the center of the tofu ball, it may not be clear to the naked eye, but more water did enter the gap between the tofu slices.

As the water content slowly increases, the tension of the water gradually begins to increase, and finally the adhesion between the flakes and the tofu flakes quickly reaches a critical point.

When the tension of the water suddenly exceeds the adhesive force between the tofu sheets, the outermost tofu flakes are separated from the inner layer of tofu and bounce outward.

The five tofu flakes that were cut into the shape of petals on the outer layer popped open at the same time, followed by the petals of the second layer and repeated the changes of the previous layer, so that the tofu flakes were separated and bounced off the tofu one by one, and in human vision, it was like a budding white snow lotus blooming.

Ge Changhe took a closer look at those tofu slices, and even admired Yang Huairen's knife work, the tofu slices were not a flat one, but were cut into a thin slice with an arc surface by Yang Huairen, and there were no traces of cutting with a knife on each arc.

Ge Changhe sighed to himself that not only could he not do this kind of knife work, but he couldn't even think of such a knife before, the petals were cut so perfectly, there was no slightest flaw, and the thickness was just right, such a thickness can maintain the structural strength of the tofu flakes themselves, so that they will not deform or explode when they are bounced open by force.

What's even more difficult is that Yang Huairen has cut a total of ten layers of such petals, and each layer has five petals, which is even more unimaginable.

Ge Changhe calculated according to his knife skill level, if he practiced diligently and had a sharp knife in his hand, maybe he could make an effect close to Yang Huairen's in the outermost layer of petals.

But after cutting the outermost layer, what will happen to the remaining nine layers inside? There is no way to go under the knife, he can't imagine how Yang Huairen did it anyway, this is simply incredible.

Ge Changhe thought about it again, and he became even more desperate. Yang Huairen's hands carved tofu under the water, at the beginning of the knife to cut the square tofu into tofu balls, there was a white mist in the water, and the next more complicated process, he couldn't see it clearly, Yang Huairen was blindly carving such a tofu flower!

This...... How is that possible?!

When Ge Changhe went to see Yang Huairen again, there was no trace of unconvincing in his eyes, for Yang Huairen's cooking skills, he was not only convinced, he couldn't wait to immediately kneel down and worship this god-like figure!

Yelu Chara's face was even more pale, he looked up at the sky, thinking that he would not reach one-tenth of Yang Huairen's in any case, not to mention how desperate he was in his heart.

remembered that he had the courage to come on stage just now to try his cooking skills with Yang Huairen, and this horse was like a fly unashamedly competing with a goshawk to fly, which was sad and ridiculous.

Yang Huairen had already read the thoughts in their hearts through the changes in everyone's expressions, and believed that from this moment on, the ridicule and disdain for his cooking skills in Zhongjing City would come to an abrupt end.

When others were still stuck in the picture of the tofu blossoming and couldn't extricate themselves, Tianba's younger brother came up and asked secretly, "Brother, is this tofu blooming, is it delicious?" ”
