Chapter 171 Definition of Delicious
Yuanzhou gave a positive answer to Wu Hai's question, the reason is very simple, because he is confident that his craftsmanship can cover the flaws of rice.
And Wu Hai said directly, "Your food is so delicious, how can you eat the rest."
According to his standard, if you use other side dishes, it is better not to match and only eat vegetables.
"Eat, there are people behind." Yuan Zhou motioned to you that there are many people waiting behind you, eat quickly.
Looking back, the line behind was indeed getting longer and longer, with the moustache raised, and said proudly, "My home is near."
This guy was dying every day, Yuanzhou didn't bother to care about him, and went back to the back kitchen to cook.
Tofu is the main ingredient of bear paw tofu, and Yuanzhou's tofu is made by himself, so it must be northern tofu.
First of all, Yuan Zhou was very satisfied with the selection of raw materials. The soybeans provided by the system were plump and consistent in size, and looked round and lovely. After soaking in water, they had a faint bean flavor, and each one was plump.
This time, Yuanzhou also used a hand-push stone mill to crush the soybeans. After crushing three times, it was prepared for use. The tofu was made with brine, and a mountain stream was added in between.
The taste is sweet and sweet. It is taken from the cold air in winter. The ordered tofu Yuanzhou is directly put into the bamboo frame, and the ingenious relationship is made. The clearly visible texture on the finished tofu seems to be distributed. .
Each piece is the same size, and the prepared tofu is tender and white, with a strong bean fragrance and the sweetness of a clear spring.
"Huahua" Yuanzhou waved the bamboo knife, cut a piece directly, picked it with the bamboo knife, and put it on the flat plate on the side.
The cuts on each side of the tofu are so neat that they seem to have been measured.
"Boss Yuan likes bamboo very much, but it's a pity that people are not like bamboo." Wu Hai made up the knife with a smile on the side.
Yuan Zhou ignored it and just turned his head to look at Wu Hai and continued the matter in his hands.
However, this time, the gesture of waving the bamboo knife became faster, and with a few knives, the tofu was divided into several small squares of the same size.
Watching Yuanzhou cook is a kind of enjoyment, because every time it is such an instant food, he basically doesn't touch it with his hands, like the last time he handled anchovy shrimp, and this time he handled tofu.
It is obviously a slightly old Beidou, but it looks white and tender, like a piece of fine white jade.
The pan was hot, and with a squeak, Yuan Zhou poured in a little oil and used it to fry the tofu.
This time I used soybean oil. If the soybean oil is not handled properly, it will have a slight beany smell. Yuanzhou directly put some shallots in it. Fried tofu is the best.
After frying until golden brown on both sides, Yuanzhou changed the oil again. This time, in addition to the shallots, he also added a spoonful of white oil for the fragrance, and then stir-fry the ingredients. During this time, the pan kept making a wonderful "snack" sound. , as if the food was happily converging inside.
Put in the tofu and simmer slowly, adjust the flavor, and slowly burn it with a low heat, so that the inside and outside of the tofu tastes the same as the gorgon juice. When the juice is collected, add green garlic sprouts to increase the flavor.
A plate of bear's paw tofu is good, and at this time, Boss Tong also came over with a steaming bowl of rice.
"Please use it, Aunt Tong." Yuan Zhou said politely as he served the tofu.
"Xiao Yuan's movements are so fast, he looks like your father." Boss Tong said, looking at the steaming tofu in front of Duandao himself.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded in response.
But it's very strange. Although there is very little aroma, the boss Tong is a little strange. He stretched out his chopsticks and opened a piece of tofu, and the aroma became strong.
"It seems that the fragrance is all wrapped up." Boss Tong is also considered knowledgeable, and he said Yuanzhou's skills in one bite.
I picked up the piece just now and stuffed it into my mouth "hissing". Boss Tong was directly scalded, but the taste was soft, tender and salty, and the taste was so wonderful that Boss Tong was reluctant to spit it out, so he could only chew and swallow while inhaling.
"Xiao Yuan's craftsmanship is really good." After eating a piece, Boss Tong said with emotion.
However, Yuan Zhou did not hear these words, he was busy preparing meals.
Sighing for a while, Boss Tong continued to eat bear's paw tofu, but slowly eating more and more slowly, his eyes distant as if thinking of something.
Boss Tong was sent to be an apprentice in a tofu mill by his family when he was young. Generally, girls rarely do this job, but at that time, Boss Tong’s family was poor and she was the eldest daughter. Although the tofu mill was tired, the wages were much more than others. hair.
Just have to go.
Carrying water and carrying beans, helping to grind the mill, doing all kinds of heavy and tiring work, at that time, watching the white and tender tofu take shape, I was proud and wanted to eat it. That’s right, Boss Tong’s simple wish at that time was to be able to eat tofu casually. That is the best dish.
Don't look at Boss Tong working in the mill, but the boss there will give Boss Tong two pounds of tofu as a gift only during the Chinese New Year.
At that time, let alone fried tofu, it was boiled tofu in water, adding some salt and vegetable leaves to feel the bean fragrance is rich and delicious.
In one year, I look forward to giving out two kilograms during the Chinese New Year. Such strong expectations, coupled with the deliciousness of tofu itself, made tofu the best memory of Boss Tong when he was young.
With the gradual progress of society, hand-made mills have been eliminated. Boss Tong himself has been producing and selling for a period of time, but his business is light and he can’t make a living. That’s why he opened the current dry cleaning shop.
However, Boss Tong no longer likes tofu, and always feels that tofu is no longer delicious.
Now, eating tofu seems to taste delicious again.
After eating, pack up and go home, buy vegetables and cook, no matter how delicious it is, you can’t eat it in Yuanzhou every day.
"Miss Tong, what do you want to eat today?" The vegetable seller shouted, waking up the boss Tong.
"Buy some ground meat." Boss Tong then returned to his senses, looking at the pork stall and said.
"How much do you want, fat or thin." The pork seller picked up the meat and let Boss Tong choose.
"Cut some pork belly and twist it." Boss Tong looked at the pork belly and said.
After buying the meat and going home, Boss Tong was speechless at the bean curd that had already ordered brine.
"Sure enough, I'm old, and I don't know what to do anymore." Boss Tong showed a helpless expression on his thin face.
After a while, he was busy in the kitchen again.
While busy, he said to himself, "It seems that I can only eat some fried tofu tonight."
That's right, Boss Tong ate the delicious bear's paw tofu made by Yuanzhou. He remembered the time when he learned how to make it before. When he came back, he closed the store and made a pot of it himself.
Boss Tong lamented that he was getting old and didn't even know what he had done.
However, Boss Tong was both looking forward and apprehensive. She hadn't made tofu herself for a long time.
The tofu was formed, and Boss Tong made homemade tofu according to his own preferences.
On a small brown square table, a plate of homemade tofu, a bowl of white rice, and a chair.
The pieces of tofu on the white plate have been smashed by vigorously frying, and there are basically not a few pieces in a whole plate. If the tofu is broken, the taste will dissipate.
But Boss Tong was very satisfied when he picked up a piece.
"Looks like the tofu is still as good as it gets."
There was an obvious smile on Boss Tong's thin face. Although his face was wrinkled, his whole person seemed warm.
