Chapter 402: Near Zhu Zhechi (Second Watch)

"Wrap it around me. Lin Xiyan said in a big way, looking at the shrimp in the vegetable basket, "This shrimp has just been caught for a long time, and it is very fresh." ”

"The boss didn't lie to me. Hua Banzhi said with a smile.

The three of them walked home talking and laughing all the way, and Lin Xiyan went into the kitchen to process the prawns.

Hua Banzhi turned on the fire and chopped the pork while the porridge was boiling.

Wait for Lin Xiyan to peel the prawns, chop them and mix them with the pork filling, put in a little salt, and after the peppercorns and ingredients are roasted over the fire, they are rolled into powder with a small rolling stick and put into the filling.

The seasonings of the era without thirteen spices and five-spice powder are all done to remove the smell and season.

Chop the green onions, ginger and garlic and mix them with the filling.

The reason why "Hakka stuffed tofu" is unique is inseparable from its strict production process. "Stuffed" is a Hakka verb that means "implanted filling", and "stuffed tofu" means "tofu with meat filling".

Stuffed tofu is said to be related to dumplings from the north. Cut the tender white tofu into small pieces, use a spoon to dig a small hole in the center of each small piece of tofu, and fill it with the seasoned filling.

After making these preparations, the porridge was also boiled, served down, put on the wok, poured in a little oil, and Lin Xiyan planned to fry the tofu.

Soon the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma of meat, mixed with the fragrance of tofu.

"Hehe......" Hua Banzhi suddenly laughed.

Lin Xiyan, who was frying tofu, turned his head to look at her when he heard the sound and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"I finally understand why stuffed tofu is said to be dumplings from the north. Hua Banzhi smiled.

Lin Xiyan said with a smile, "The Hakka ancestors originally lived in the Central Plains, where wheat was produced and flour was often used to make dumplings. Later, due to war and other reasons, the Hakka ancestors migrated to the south to live. Lingnan produces more rice, less wheat, and little flour, and stuffed tofu has become a substitute for dumplings. After a pause, he said, "Usually they use a casserole to cook for a long time on low heat, and then add MSG, pepper and other seasonings when eating." Let's fry it just as deliciously, and it's fast. We're trying something else when we have time. ”

Lin Xiyan took out the fried tofu and put it on the plate, and put the other unfried tofu back in.

"If not, I'll buy some on the street." Lin Xiyan took the spatula and carefully fried the tofu.

"Enough, enough, didn't I add a meal in the afternoon, and it was hard to digest if I ate too much in the evening. Hua Banzhi hurriedly said, "I'll just drink a bowl of porridge at night." ”

"Don't, don't, let's divide it evenly, four people should be enough to eat. Lin Xiyan hurriedly said, for fear that he would not eat half of the flower and wronged himself.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiyan fried the tofu and put it on the plate.

Lin Xiyan took down the wok, filled the teapot with water, put it on the stove, and sealed the fire.

When Lin Xiyan turned around, Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming had already taken the food out and set the table.

Lin Xiyan sat at the dining table, looking at the lonely stuffed tofu in the middle, "I don't even have a serious dish, I'll go stir-fry another dish." ”

"Sit down, sit down, where can the three of us eat so much. Hua Banzhi pressed down with both hands, "These are enough, enough." Looking at him and saying, "If you want to make a few, you will waste it if you can't finish it." ”

"The three of us should have at least two dishes!" Lin Xiyan looked at her and said very seriously.

"This is another dish, and it's equivalent to steamed buns. Hua Banzhi took chopsticks and spoons, sandwiched the stuffed tofu into the plate in front of him and said, "Eat!"

"Okay then!" Lin Xiyan looked at her and reluctantly agreed, and made up his mind to buy more for breakfast and lunch.

With the character of not wasting branches, it must all be stuffed into the stomach.

Hua Banzhi sandwiched stuffed tofu for Zhou Guangming and put it on a plate, and finally gave it to himself.

"My mother's cooking is so delicious. Zhou Guangming said with a small mouth oily.

"It's no worse than what the master of the teahouse does. Lin Xiyan swallowed the food in his mouth, "The tofu is delicious, tender and smooth, and after the filling is stuffed in the white and tender tofu, it increases the taste and is more chewy." ”

Hua Banzhi looked at the stuffed tofu on the plate, and asked him to fry it golden brown, and this color aroused people's appetite.

Stuffed tofu is soft, tough, tender, smooth, fresh and fragrant, the tofu is tender and smooth, and the meat filling is delicious and delicious, rich and mellow, making people salivate.

There are four people for one person, with white porridge, which is delicious, chatting while eating, Lin Xiyan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Hua Banzhi and Zhou Guangming also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lin Xiyan's face, and he looked at the two of them gently.

"Uncle, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Guangming asked with a curious wink.

"You don't notice that you're eating slowly. Lin Xiyan looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes.

After Lin Xiyan reminded him like this, he came over and said, "Yes!"

"I kind of understand why this is happening?" said Hua Banzhi with a chuckle.

"Why?" Lin Xiyan asked as he looked at her with trembling eyelashes.

"It's too hot!" Hua Banzhi winked at him playfully, in fact, it should be close to Zhu Zhechi.

"Hehe......" Lin Xiyan shook his head and smiled, "This is just one of them, the second is that there are many dishes on the dinner table, but the most fundamental thing is ......" After thinking about it, "Many years of eating habits." ”

Hua Banzhi's dark eyes flashed lightly when he heard this, whether it was a eating habit or a etiquette that the children of a big family had cultivated since childhood, which was reflected in all aspects of life, like rubbing into the bones and blood, and inadvertently revealed.

It's something they can't understand by these mud legs who are running around for life all day long, racing against time.

Lin Xiyan stood up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Hua Banzhi wiped the table, and Zhou Guangming went to get a broom and a bucket of ashes.

The three of them cleaned up the dinner table and kitchen together. Lin Xiyan took the drawn drawings and spread them on the coffee table.

"Wow......" Zhou Guangming exclaimed, "Auntie painted so well! ”

Lin Xiyan painted a top-down view, and it was a bit three-dimensional.

No wonder Zhou Guangming was surprised, and it was clear at a glance.

"As you may have seen, the furniture in the room is only preliminarily drawn according to the needs we discussed yesterday. When the house is repaired, how to arrange it. Lin Xiyan looked at them and said.

"And you're now?" said Hana, looking at him suspiciously.

"I'm focusing on the kitchen and bathroom. Lin Xiyan pointed to the location of the kitchen.

"A kitchen like this one is good. Hua Banzhi pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

The glazed table in the kitchen, although it is not as varied as the panels of later generations, is almost the same.
