Chapter 161 Broker’s Request
Ji Yue sat at the table and chatted about movies while eating. Naturally, she ate more slowly, but she also looked like she was enjoying it.
By the time they finished eating, the other guests had already left, leaving only a pile of bare plates and bowls.
An Yuan did not rush to clear away the dishes, but picked up the questionnaire on the table to see which dish the diners gave the most points.
Then she saw with satisfaction that her favorite tofu with abalone sauce, or tofu, topped the list, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, she has discernment and taste, and it is worthy of her hand-ground tofu!
She's not bragging, anyone who sees how her tofu is made will definitely fall in love with it!
First of all, her family selects the freshest, sun-dried and high-quality organic soybeans, sifting out the bad and wrinkled ones, leaving only the good ones.
Secondly, soak the beans in mountain spring water or high-quality barreled mineral water for one night.
Next, boil the soaked soybeans in water for a few minutes, then put them in cold water to cool, and rub them gently with your hands to remove the soybean skins.
The fourth step is to manually grind the peeled soybeans.
What they use at home is the traditional small stone mill, which can be washed very clean.
In the courtyard of the Anjia restaurant, her fourth brother held the handle of the stone mill with one hand and turned the stone mill in circles and rhythmically. He grabbed the beans with the other hand and put them into the holes on the stone mill, and then added some beans into the holes. water so that the bean juice can flow out smoothly.
While grinding, the white bean juice exuding the aroma of beans continues to flow out from the bottom of the stone mill, flows along the groove to the outlet, and falls into the pot below, making people want to eat it just by looking at it.
The next steps are filtering, boiling the pulp, dotting the pulp, and solidifying it.
The entire production process uses mountain spring water or high-quality bottled mineral water, which is pure natural, pollution-free, clean and hygienic.
Just looking at it is a pleasure.
The tofu made in this way is white and tender, with no beany smell, only the aroma of beans. It is freshly made and eaten, and it is delicious.
It is worth mentioning that the person who made tofu with her fourth brother was a beautiful and experienced girl who loved cleanliness. From now on, she would be responsible for grinding and making tofu. The diners gave her the nickname "Tofu Xishi" .
As for the price of tofu dishes, the preparation methods are different, the portions are different, and the prices are also different.
The abalone sauce tofu I made today costs 10 yuan per plate and the price is 160.
As for An Yuan's other favorite dish of boiled cabbage, it is only available at night because the soup base takes a long time to simmer.
The biggest dish in her restaurant is Buddha Jumping over the Wall, but this dish is also complex and time-consuming, and can only be made at night.
Starting from abalone sauce tofu, the highest-scoring dishes are Laotan sauerkraut, polenta, fried sweet potato leaves, and handmade sour noodles. They are all vegetarian dishes, followed by meat dishes such as white chopped chicken, white water pork liver, sweet and sour pork ribs, and bacon and bamboo shoots. .
It can be seen that rich people who usually eat big fish and meat are tired of eating or have health problems. Suddenly eating this simple, natural and organic vegetable feels particularly satisfying and appetizing.
Many diners say they feel "the taste of childhood".
What surprised An Yuan was that this white water pork liver ranked so high.
The method of making this dish is quite special. It is to blanch the clean, thinly sliced, bloodless pork liver in boiling water for two or three seconds, and then eat it with special seasoning. It is extremely tender and tender. No fishy smell at all.
In short, the main focus of her restaurant is fresh, organic, healthy and natural.
Diners give it rave reviews.
When leaving, a guest said: "I will definitely come here more often in the future, but I don't know if there will be seats when the time comes."
One guest joked: "I dare not recommend this place to others, lest I don't have a seat when I come."
While An Yuan was compiling the score sheet, Ji Yue's manager Fang Ge was sitting in the corner of the public restaurant with An Jingwei talking about things.
Brother Fang is in his 40s, with a slicked back hair, slightly gray hair, and a delicate, stylish mustache. He is dressed formally and appropriately, and he looks very worldly and shrewd at first glance.
He poured a cup of tea for An Jingwei and said sincerely: "Mr. An, you have been in contact with Ji Yue for a while. You should be able to see that she is very picky about food. She usually eats very little and often skips breakfast or dinner."
An Jingwei nodded: "I can tell."
In fact, Jiyue ate quite normally when eating his food, but other than that, he had never seen Jiyue eating snacks or anything else.
Moreover, Ji Yue was very thin, abnormally thin and unhealthy, which made him think that she had lost too much weight for filming.
Brother Fang said: "Her career has not been going well in the past few years, and there are endless rumors about her, which has brought huge pressure to her."
Having said this, he hesitated for a few seconds: "Especially when a very competitive newcomer appeared in the industry. The script and team she was interested in were snatched away by the other party. Everyone in the industry said that the other party was her successor, and the one who outperformed others won. Yu Lan, all this aggravated her pressure."
"It just so happened that she had a strong sense of self-esteem and ambition, and was unwilling to film a drama she didn't like, which resulted in more than a year without anything to film."
An Jingwei didn't speak, just listened silently.
As a not-so-fanatic movie lover, he still knew something about big stars and top actors like Ji Yue.
Ji Yue has starred in four movies in the past few years, including literary films, comedies, commercial adventure blockbusters, and Hollywood monster blockbusters. The box office and reputation are average.
In terms of awards that she is proud of, she has failed to win any for four consecutive years. Her best achievement was being shortlisted for the somewhat disappointing Best Actress Award, but she still failed to win the award.
In addition, she has not had a new movie released in more than a year, and she is very thin, so there is a lot of discussion in the public.
Some said she was on drugs.
Some say she diets too much.
Some say she is seriously ill.
Some people say that she has exhausted all her talents.
Others said that she encountered hidden rules and unkind people, and was robbed of a large amount of money by a man, causing her to lose weight and self-mutilate, etc.
There was worry in Brother Fang's eyes: "She suffered from depression two years ago, and at the worst time, she even thought about committing suicide."
An Jingwei raised his eyes with surprise in his eyes.
He could tell that Ji Yue was worried and lonely, but Ji Yue's attitude was very positive, and he really didn't see that she was suffering from severe depression.
"But she has been undergoing active treatment and fighting against depression, and her symptoms have improved." Brother Fang saw his mood and explained quickly.
"She loved the play and put all her energy into her work after receiving the role. This made her feel fulfilled and her symptoms improved."
An Jingwei had doubts in his eyes.
Did Brother Fang tell him this because he wanted him to take care of Ji Yue?
Don't think he has this ability.
