Chapter 137 Tofu
Daji is well connected and has convenient transportation. News comes every day about the war in the north, and Bai Jingyuan is like listening to the radio, chasing one episode a day.
I heard that Emperor Ji actually sent the "Lu Guojiu Tian Group" led by King Lu to the front line this time. Bai Jingyuan even rubbed his hands and waited for updates. He got up early in the morning to wait for news, for fear of missing some exciting parts.
Because of the loyalty, Xiao Lu from the coastal country has been licking for thousands of years, Daji has never lacked seafood. Because this time the Queen gave a generous tribute, Bai Jingyuan can also get some good goods from Lu, so the sea surface this morning is still very luxurious.
Yesterday I felt tired of eating simple seafood noodles, so today I made spicy and sour seafood noodles for him.
When I was passing by Jingshan before, I picked a jar of sour bamboo shoots, and now I take it out and eat it.
Crispy, tender yellow sour bamboo shoots, red shrimps, plus a fat crab that is not too big or too small, cook a pot of fresh soup with clams, add a handful of thorny handmade noodles, piece together a large bowl, and finish eating, just want to lick your fingers.
"Oh~ I'm a half-baby, I'm poor, fortunately the old man is always poor!"
Bai Jingyuan covered his face with his sleeves and burped loudly. While everyone was laughing, the chef hurriedly came in with a pottery jar!
"Huh? What's wrong?"
In the past, the chef should have cleaned the house or prepared dinner ingredients. He rarely came to him, and it was rare to come over. There must be something wrong, so Bai Jingyuan waved to him to come closer.
"Young Master! Look! What is this?!"
The chef was so excited that his face turned red, and his hands holding the pottery jar were trembling a little!
He is now the confidant of the young master, and no one stops him when he enters the door. Seeing the young master waved to him, he immediately came to Bai Jingyuan with the pottery jar, knelt down and put the pottery jar carefully on the food table.
"Huh? Tofu?"
Bai Jingyuan stretched his head curiously and looked at it. When he saw the things in the jar clearly, he was immediately surprised!
This is really tofu!
Although it didn't look strong enough, as the clay pot swayed, the slightly yellowed but loose sediment in the jar also swayed, but Bai Jingyuan was sure that it was tofu!
This is mixed with a sour and astringent bean aroma!
Absolutely not wrong!
"Sure enough! The young master knows everything!"
The chef was so excited that he almost jumped up! He still forced himself to hold back.
"How did this come about? You should use something to press it firmly to make it better!"
really!
The young master not only knows what this is, but also knows how to eat it!
The worship of Bai Jingyuan by Kuang is like a surging river, endless stream!
Since the young master opened his eyes and realized that he could do things without having to follow the old examples in a straightforward way and let him try, he fell in love with exploring new things.
Before, he used the residual heat of the stove to successfully emit bean sprouts in the middle of winter. Later, he made many novel foods. In the past two days, he even made the transparent white vinegar that the young master wanted. Seeing that the young master had drunk a lot of soy milk, he thought that the soy milk tasted too single, and maybe he could try to season it. As a result, a spoonful of white vinegar fell, and the soy milk in the tripod changed!
In the past, this strange thing that he couldn't understand happened. He came to see the young master, and the young master always gave him an answer. He didn't care about washing the pots and pans, so he poured the items in the cauldron into a clean pot and ran over without any effort.
Bai Jingyuan was stunned when he heard the origin of tofu talk about it!
In his memory, it seems that tofu was accidentally made by Taoist priests when they were refining alchemy?
When he ate bean sprouts last year, he fantasized about the taste of tofu. At that time, he thought, it was so regretful that he didn’t know how tofu was made, otherwise he would make much money!
Because eating beans will make you feel belly-fried and farts, it is very indecent. The nobles here don’t like to eat beans and think beans are very low. Only slaves eat them, so the price of soybeans is very low. If they are made into tofu...
Tofu brain, sweet and salty, and soft and tender, who wouldn’t love it?
Tender tofu can be made into Mapo tofu, and old tofu can be made into bear's paw tofu. Even if it is accidentally smelly, you can still eat stinky tofu in fried oil. If it doesn't help, it will grow hair. It's edamame again!
What a great baby!
Bai Jingyuan stared at the unformed tofu, and his saliva was almost dripping!
The chef was scared to see it, and he ignored it after calling out several times, and simply looked at Lu'er pitifully.
Lu'er dared to reach out to poke the young master, but he didn't dare.
Such eyes undoubtedly confirmed Lu'er's status again. Lu'er was very happy and reached out to poke Bai Jingyuan with compassion: "Young Master? The chef is still waiting for your order! How should you eat this thing?"
This has happened many times and everyone has experience.
Bai Jingyuan came to his senses and immediately ordered him to grind beans and cook soy milk, and try a few more times.
When the pot heard this, he couldn't help but look bitter: "Young master, there is not much jealousy..."
Speaking of which, there are multiple prerequisites for being able to make tofu by chance.
First, when making paper, stone mills were made, and then soy milk was found;
Secondly, when he made cold dishes last year, the young master thought the vinegar he made was not good-looking, so he figured out the white vinegar;
Finally, and most importantly, in order to find out new things, the chef wasted a lot of food, but the young master never scolded him, but often encouraged him.
"Not much? Didn't I brew a jar?"
Bai Jingyuan frowned. He should not remember correctly when it comes to eating and drinking. He remembered that the bait told him about this before.
"Young Master... It's been half a year... You don't like raw dishes..."
I was almost used up before, but later I didn’t use it because I used it less?
Bai Jingyuan was helpless.
This is really, he is the only master in his eyes.
I remember Ren Yi likes to eat big mixed vegetables very much. He can eat it very fragrant by mixing wild onions in the wild field and mixing them with rice. The white vinegar made from the cook is mellow and sour, and the mixing vegetables is very good. Ren Yi has praised it several times. Anyone who cares about her in her heart will not do this.
Bai Jingyuan was amused and cried, so he could only let him make vinegar as soon as possible and make the tofu better.
The chef left regretfully and happily. Before the man arrived at the kitchen, the gold rewarded by the young master came to catch up. The chef was so moved that he thought about it now - brewing white vinegar, it took a long time! This little white vinegar is not enough to make.
Since white vinegar can be used to make tofu, is it possible to make other things?
He thought, why can tofu change when it encounters white vinegar?
Bai Jingyuan couldn't think of what the chef was thinking about, nor did he want to guess.
The most precious thing about this subordinate is that he has a big brain, so he should not interfere casually. If he messes up any valuable ideas, it would be a sin.
The bastard left, and everyone talked about his new invention, pestering Bai Jingyuan to ask what tofu is? Is it delicious?
Zhengjue could not handle it, so a servant came to pass the message and said that Xi Bo is here!
