Soon, in the most luxurious restaurant in the capital city, He Kun had booked the No. 1 private room in the Tianzi (Imperial) suite to entertain Xiao Tiannan and Shi Xuanwei.

This dish is called "Pampas Grass Tofu".

He Kun pointed to the dish just brought up and said eloquently, "Don't look at it as just an unassuming tofu dish, but its making process is extremely particular."

First, you need to take a piece of freshly made soft tofu from the day. Scoop out its center and use the most tender part of the tofu. Then, slice it horizontally eighty times and vertically eighty times. The depth of each cut should be equal. They should be deep but not cut through the entire piece. If even one cut is broken, the dish will be ruined and you'll have to start over.

“With six hundred and forty cuts, a piece of tofu is simmered for six hours with chicken, duck, fish, abalone, dried scallops, and oysters over low heat. When the tofu goes into the broth, it opens up like a ball of embroidery thread. After cooking, it’s taken out to make this bowl of embroidered ball tofu you see before you.”

He Kun wore a self-satisfied expression, extending a palm and saying: "In the whole of Beijing, countless talented people gather, but those who can cook this dish are no more than this number."

Shi Xuanwei and Xiao Tiannan were both dumbfounded.

A tofu ball dish was served, looking quite unique. However, the two didn't take much notice of this light and watery soup.

After hearing He Kun's introduction, I was both shocked and a little ashamed.

Look at the people of Qin, they truly know how to live! Even such a simple ingredient as tofu can be turned into such intricate designs.

Let's take a look at the Liao Kingdom. From the royal families and nobles to ordinary people, everyone knows how to barbecue. They would bring cattle and sheep, slaughter them, and either roast or boil them. Their understanding of food was limited to filling their stomachs; they couldn't even reach the artistic level of cooking.

More than just a ball of tofu, the next dish served completely opened the eyes of Xiao Tiannan and Shi Xuanwei.

Many dishes they had only heard of, never tasted, and there were even some that were unheard of, opening their eyes to new things.

The third round of drinks has passed, and the fifth flavor of the dishes has been tasted.

Seeing that the two had finished eating and drinking, He Kun clapped his hands, and the door to the private room immediately opened.

A group of beautiful women in palace attire streamed in, their delicate and charming appearances causing Stone Xuanwei and Xiao Tiannan, who were already slightly tipsy from the wine, to stare with wide eyes.

He Kun smiled slightly and said, "A beauty deserves a hero, both of you are outstanding individuals. After enjoying the feast and drinks, it's natural to take a good rest. Please don't refuse."

"He has already prepared rooms next door for you two. Just pick the one you like and go right in. He will take care of everything."

Shi Xuanwei and Xiao Tiannan each swallowed nervously.

They looked at each other, Xiao Tiannan still had some rationality left, and turned to He Kun and said, "Brother He, you're being too polite. It makes us two brothers feel uneasy. If there's anything we can help you with, Brother He, just speak up."

He Kun quickly shook his head and said righteously, "What are you talking about I, He, only make friends based on feeling. Since the two of you look up to me, don't worry too much."

"Once these beautiful women have served both of you after your rest, Mr. He will also have people prepare many gold and silver gifts for you to take away. Both of you, just take them, Mr. He absolutely has no ulterior motives."

Even a fool would know that so many benefits couldn't be obtained for nothing. He Kun is obviously not a fool, and it's impossible that he would give so many benefits without any reason.ghness, it's time for your medicine."With Wan Jiaojiao absent, He Kun took over the role of serving tea and water for Li Chen.
