At this moment, Lin Xiu's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Director Li Ang, he picked it up.
"Hello, you must be Lin Xiu. I'm sorry, I was busy with the makeup room just now!”
"You're still at the door, right? I'll come and pick you up immediately!”
"No need, Director Li. I came in with Ma Weidu and Elder Ma. Which hall are you in?”
"What is it? Old Ma!"
"I'll be out soon."
A moment later, a bespectacled young director walked out. When he saw Ma Weidu and Lin Xiu, he quickly ran over!
"Elder Ma, sorry to trouble you!"
"You must be Lin Xiu. I'm sorry, I was too busy just now!”
Before Lin Xiu could say anything, Ma Weidu spoke.
"Director Li, what is Brother Lin here for?”
"I wouldn't dare! You can just call me Little Li!" When Li Ang heard Ma Weidu call Lin Xiu Brother Lin, he couldn't help but put away his contempt.
He was also one of the more famous directors among the younger generation. He had just participated in the filming of " Big Case Team 6:3 " and was now directing a documentary at Beijing TV. He could already be considered to want to be a great director.
"It's like this, Old Ma. We need a young chef with excellent cutting skills to play the role of a chef at a state banquet when he was young.”
"I was just worried that I couldn't find him, so Director Zhang Jizhong recommended Lin Xiu.”
Hearing this, Ma Weidu couldn't help but look at Lin Xiu, thinking to himself,"
"I didn't expect this kid to really be a chef. Moreover, he was recommended by Zhang Jizhong.”
"Then I have to take a good look!"
So he said to Li Ang,
"Director Li, do you mind if I go and take a look too?”
"Of course, of course. I can't wait to welcome you." Li Ang said with a smile.
Arriving at the filming location, Li Ang smiled and said to Lin Xiu,"
"Do you need to prepare and see if our materials are suitable?”
Yesterday, after Lin Xiu had agreed to Director Zhang's request, he had sent Lin Xiu's phone number to Li Ang. After the two of them communicated, they decided to make "Wensi Tofu". This dish was not only a famous dish for the state banquet, but it also had strict requirements for cutting skills. It was the best way to showcase the chefs of the state banquet in their youth.
Of course, Lin Xiu was very confident in his cutting skills. After all, he had practiced shredded potatoes every day. However, tofu itself was soft. It was still different from common vegetables.
Just in case, Lin Xiu spent 1888 points to exchange for the recipe of "Wensi Tofu".
In fact, before looking for Lin Xiu, Li Ang had looked for many chefs. They were either not of the right age or their skills were not good enough.
"I hope the young man recommended by Director Zhang can complete it!”
Wensi Tofu was a famous traditional dish of Huaiyang Cuisine. It started in the Qing Dynasty and had a history of more than 300 years.
He wondered what had inspired Monk Wensi's " Wensi " back then, allowing him to make this soup with such exquisite techniques. It was made with extremely strict ingredients and fine cutting skills. It was soft, tender, and mellow. The soup looked clear like water, but the freshness was mellow and long. It melted in the mouth and had the effect of conditioning and nourishing the body.
It was said that the reason why it could be used at the state banquet was that it had to cut the tender tofu into 5000 thin threads the size of a hair. It was a test of top-notch knife skills for chefs.
The essence of this dish lay in the knife skills.
Lin Xiu looked at the tofu he had prepared, took out his God of Cooking Kitchen Knife, and said to Li Ang,"
"No problem, we can shoot now!"
There was a circle of people surrounding him, waiting to see if this young man could really cut the tofu into " hair ".
Ma Weidu was among them. When he heard that they were going to make Wensi Tofu, he stood up.
As an old Taotie in Beijing, he had heard of the insane knife skills of Wensi Tofu. If this young man could make "Wensi Tofu", then the "Stewed Sea Cucumber with Scallion" that was said to be more delicious than Feng Ze Garden should be true.
When the director announced the start, Lin Xiu took the tofu out of the water, peeled off the old skin, and began to cut it in one go.
"Hiss, this saber has created an afterimage!”
"F * ck, is this cutting vegetables?"
"The hand speed of being single for 10,000 years!"
"How terrifying!"
The people around him exclaimed. After the initial shock, Li Ang immediately became happy. It seemed that his mission was about to be completed.
Ma Weidu, who was standing at the side, was even more shocked. He had once seen a top chef in Huaiyang who had made Wensi Tofu, but now it seemed that his knife skills were still a little inferior to Lin Xiu's.
In the blink of an eye, a piece of tofu was cut. He placed the tofu into the clear water and it instantly spread out. Tofu shreds as thick as hair covered the entire basin.
"Pa pa pa"
The surroundings were silent for a while. It was unknown who took the lead in clapping. In an instant, applause resounded throughout the entire filming hall.
Li Ang ran over, held Lin Xiu's hand, and said excitedly,"
"Brother Lin, thank you. I never thought that a person's knife skills could reach such a level.”
