The four male and female protagonists in the play are also named after various seafood. Wu Qihua is called Yo Ma (a cheap fish, usually made into salted fish, so Yo Ma also means salted fish), Ma Dezhong is called Long (Gixin is homophonic with sashimi in Cantonese, which means sashimi), Chen Huishan is called Qiao Huazhi (cuttlefish and squid are also called squid in Hong Kong and Taiwan), and Teng Liming is called Su Mei (.
To be precise, this is a food drama related to seafood. Except for the names of people, everything in the play is related to seafood.
There is a landmark seafood restaurant in Lamma Island, which is fresh in a hundred miles. However, after the boss died, the restaurant was handed over to the boss's son, LAM Raymond. Because Lam Raymond was lazy and could not cook, the business of the restaurant was getting worse and worse. The boss knew that his son would not be able to support the restaurant independently, so before his death, he made a will and gave Chen Huishan Restaurant a 5 1% stake. It is not known that Chen Huishan is the illegitimate daughter of the boss.
In order to revive Bai Lixian, Chen Huishan found Wu Qihua according to the tips of the old employees in the store. Only his cooking can bring Bailixian back to life.
Ma Dezhong used to be the executive chef in Yuting, a famous seafood restaurant in Hong Kong. Many dignitaries come here just to eat Ma Dezhong's cooking. Ma Dezhong's exquisite cooking really conquered everyone who came to the door. However, in his mind, there is another thing that bothers him, that is, his classmate Wu Qihua's cooking skill is above him. Over the years, he has been looking for opportunities to compete with Wu Qihua. Only by winning the Wu Qihua Prize can he be regarded as the best chef.
Why does Ma Dezhong hold a grudge against Wu Qihua and must compete with him in cooking?
Many years ago, on the day when Ma Dezhong and Wu Qihua left school, they each cooked a tofu dish according to the teacher's request.
Ma Dezhong made a dragon and phoenix.
Is to use tofu to carve dragons and draw phoenixes, and apply all kinds of knife cutting methods that only appear on vegetables, such as peeling, slicing, shredding, half-moon cutting, fan-shaped, long-piece rotary cutting, etc., to a piece of tofu. His knife work can be said to be impeccable.
Since there are dragons and phoenixes on tofu, it is natural to make two flavors, abalone sauce on the left and soup stewed with lobster sauce and crab sauce on the right. These two kinds of soup make tofu more delicious. The homemade materials, together with the first-class soup, really make tofu play a chemical role.
This dish was praised by the master.
Wu Qihua cooks tofu stew.
There are many soybeans in the soup, because soybeans can force out the original bean flavor and flavor of tofu. Although Wu Qihua used the cheapest fish to cook soup, the tofu didn't smell at all, because he wrapped the tofu with zongzi, which not only had the effect of stewing, but also won't make the tofu contact with the fish soup too much, which would affect the original flavor of the tofu, and it could also make the tofu absorb the fragrance of lotus leaves, killing two birds with one stone.
One of the hazards of this dish is that it is easy to stew tofu. If tofu tastes bad, this dish will fail.
After the lotus leaf was opened, the production of tofu surprised the master and Ma Dezhong.
Because Wu Qihua coated the tofu with a layer of lard in advance, sprinkled a little wine and burned it with a spray gun, the tofu made in this way can keep the smooth and tender taste of tofu, and it is full of wine, so that the tofu that has not been fried will not feel greasy when eaten in the mouth.
The master praised Wu Qihua. This dish is creative and first-rate. He also praised Wu Qihua for winning by talent and his great creativity. Don't bury your talents.
It is these words that make Ma Dezhong, who always thinks highly of himself, feel bitter. He doesn't believe that his cooking is worse than Wu Qihua's.
In addition to food, this play also has love.
Coincidentally, Wu Qihua, Ma Dezhong, Chen Huishan and Teng Liming met together, and they also developed a tortuous four-corner love.
Wu Qihua and Teng Liming used to be lovers, and they have reached the stage of talking about marriage, but they separated because of some misunderstandings. Wu Qihua never recovered. Later, Chen Huishan found her, helped her move, and decided to help her run a restaurant in Lamma Island. They were close for a long time. Ma Dezhong and Teng Liming work in the same hotel. Although Teng Liming couldn't let go of Wu Qihua, he was moved by Ma Dezhong and decided to try to associate with him.
Two couples who were originally well-off, met unexpectedly one day, and the two couples became a complex four-corner love.
For Ma Dezhong, whether in public or in private, there is reason to hate Wu Qihua. You cook better than me, and you stole my girlfriend. Anyway, I will compete with you in the food competition.
As for the results of the game and the feelings of the last four people, let friends who have never seen the play feel it slowly with the play.
I have watched many TVB food dramas since I grew up, but none of them can surpass the position of Taste of Love in my heart, because the plot, characters, casting and lines of this drama are excellent in all aspects. If you must spit, there is only one thing, that is, all kinds of fake props of TVB, fake crabs and fake lobsters, are all true and false.
