Gourmet Food Supplier

Everyone in the Association was really excited to receive Yuan Zhou’s Commission this time. If Jiang Tang and Wan Xinran weren’t quite familiar with Yuan Zhou and acquaintances were easy to communicate with, the chairman would definitely want to come here himself.

To be honest, they were all itching to know what kind of wine the newly brewed wine was and whether it was another kind of lost wine. Even if it couldn’t be compared to the monkey wine, the other varieties were also worth looking forward to.

“It’s good that you have a plan,” Wan Xinran nodded.

It was not her place to participate in such a planning meeting. She did not know that there were such things. An Association could operate normally, so naturally, everyone had their own responsibilities. Wan Xinran was able to come this time partly because master Wan couldn’t come. Once he made a move, the other master winemakers would also make a move. Wouldn’t that make the small shop a vegetable market?

This way, there was no way to negotiate, and Wan Xinran stood out and got the task of organizing the information. Otherwise, this matter would be monopolized by the public relations department.

While the two of them were discussing, the dishes were slowly served. They were really all made of bean products. There was fried fermented bean curd, steamed tofu with Bear Paw, home-cooked tofu, or stir-fried dried bean with celery, vegetable noodles, pork ball soup, and so on. Wan Xinran ordered three dishes, and Jiang Tang ordered five. Other than the tofu congee, there were no repeated dishes.

Vegetable tofu was a famous snack in Qin province with a long history. It was said to be a dish related to Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Dynasty. It could be said that it had been there for a long time.

In Qin province, if one could bring a bowl of vegetable tofu to a guest’s house, they would definitely be treated as a VIP and would be treated with high etiquette.

Whether you’re popular or not depends on whether you can eat vegetable tofu in other people’s house.

Of course, Wan Xinran wasn’t from Qin province, so she didn’t know about this. She had only heard about it from someone from Qin province. As she liked to eat tofu, she remembered it. In other places, she would have to consider whether the chef could cook this dish. But in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, as long as the Qin dish was on the menu, this dish would definitely be there. This was the confidence that only Yuan Zhou had.

Previously, Yuan Zhou ordered the dishes directly without asking. This was also the confidence that Yuan Zhou gave to the customers.

Because the cooking method of vegetable tofu was more complicated and meticulous, and the other dishes that Wan Xinran and the others had ordered were relatively simple, it was only served after the first few dishes were finished.

The two of them ordered one serving each, and there were two servings as soon as they were served. Unlike other dishes, vegetable tofu could be used as both rice and a dish, so it was served in a soup bowl. The rough porcelain bowl had a dark brown color, but when the two were compared, the dishes inside looked as white as Jade and were extremely beautiful.

It was like white jade Dyed with green, not like a flaw, but like the traces of time, very beautiful.

The soup wasn’t white or green, but a yellowish-green color. Normally, such a color would be very challenging to the eyes, but it wasn’t the case here. It was probably because the rice had been cooked. There was a layer of rice oil floating on the surface, and the color was getting lighter and lighter. Together with the green jade-like tofu and the faintly visible rice grains that looked like flowers, it seemed to be very harmonious.

A special sour smell assailed his nose, which was very refreshing and made people drool.

“It smells so good. It’s completely different from the other tofu. It smells like both the bean and sour flavor. It must be delicious.” Wan Xinran’s delicate nose sniffed again and again, but she still couldn’t bear to move away.

Jiang Tang’s actions were not any better than Wan Xinran ‘s, and he almost stuffed his nose into the bowl. This was also the first time he had seen a completely different bean product.

Although it was called tofu, it didn’t have the fishy smell of plaster or brine water. It was just that ordinary tofu didn’t have the fishy smell. Of course, the tofu in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant didn’t have this kind of smell. It was processed very cleanly, but that wasn’t the most important thing. The most important thing was that compared to the tofu that was as white and tender as Jade, the appearance of this tofu had really amazed him.

When Jiang Tang heard Wan Xinran mention the vegetable tofu, he had already imagined its appearance in his mind. The tofu was mixed with a lot of vegetables and thus, the original white jade-like tofu’s appearance would definitely be ruined. Even with Yuan Zhou’s skillful hands, he still felt that it couldn’t be compared to the pure tofu. After all, the natural conditions were not good.

When she saw the actual thing, she didn’t expect it to be different from what she had expected. Although the tofu was mixed with vegetables, it looked very harmonious, as if it wasn’t randomly picked but arranged in an orderly manner.

“As expected of head chef Yuan. I believe that the tofu dishes from other places definitely do not have such a good appearance.” Jiang Tang said.

“I think you’re right. The next time I see Du Yang, I’ll definitely tell him to come to master chef Restaurant for vegetable tofu. The vegetable tofu here is the best for looks.”

As she spoke, Wan Xinran passed her phone to Jiang Tang. On the screen was a WeChat conversation window with an enlarged picture. It was a picture of the dish that Du Yang had previously posted, saying that it was the most delicious vegetable tofu in Qin province.

In fact, the photo looked pretty good. It was a mix of green and white. It was not very neat, but it was not messy either. The pieces, together with the color of the soup, looked like it.

It was such a coincidence that the piece of vegetable tofu that was like a piece of art was placed in front of him. In comparison, it was not the difference between a buyer’s show and a seller’s show. It was not an exaggeration to say that the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Not to mention the neat and tidy size as if it had been measured with a ruler, just the well-arranged vegetables looked comfortable.

They didn’t compare for long as the sour and fragrant taste kept seducing them. Therefore, Wan Xinran and Jiang Tang didn’t care about the difference between the two sides. They directly put down their phones, picked up their chopsticks, and put a piece of tofu into their mouths.

The whiter the tofu was, the greener the tofu was. It was not just beautiful. As soon as the mouth touched the White part, its tender and smooth texture conquered Wan Xinran’s taste buds. It really melted with just a light sip. However, not long after, she encountered the mixed vegetables, which had a completely different texture from tofu. It added a little chewiness to the tenderness, as if it was a tofu that could be chewed and eaten. It was very novel.

The tofu’s rich fragrance was stimulated by the sour taste, making it even more delicious. The slightly hot texture even accelerated the melting of the tofu, which was really stimulating.

After eating a few pieces, Wan Xinran finally noticed a small white jade-like plate that came with the big bowl. Just now, her attention was on the tofu, so she didn’t notice the existence of this plate at all.

The palm-sized plate was neither too big nor too small. There were many evenly-mixed side dishes, such as chopped green onions, pickled vegetables, and chili sauce. They looked bright and colorful, and a spicy and fresh fragrance swept over.

“This should be used to dip in tofu, right? But it doesn’t look like a dipping sauce, but more like a side dish. Is it for rice or tofu?” Wan Xinran couldn’t make up her mind.
