Chapter 90: The Pit Man
In addition to the photos, Chen Xin also took a video, which is a small clip of Aunt Bingzi serving food to the table with her daughter and son-in-law and Chen Xin eating together, focusing on the rich dishes on the table, and Cousin Bingzi holding her grandson and smiling happily.
A table of tofu feast is made according to the standard of six cold dishes, twelve hot dishes, and two desserts. Cold tofu, braised tofu, scallion oil bean skin, tofu chicken, bean cube tiger skin egg, shredded bean white meat roll, three meats, three vegetarian and six cold dishes have salty and sweet flavors. In addition to the commonly eaten tofu dishes, the twelve hot dishes are also served on the table, such as inlaid bean balls, core-spun tofu, and Yipin tofu. But the most popular thing for the two girls is the drunken bean curd. Boiling the freshly baked bean curd with mash, rock sugar, wolfberry and chestnut rice flour doesn't need to add too much, just the trace of original sweetness is enough to make the little girls love it.
"I think this tofu brain is delicious, and it doesn't seem to be the same as what I eat in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
"This tofu brain is my mother-in-law's best, and then passed it to me, it took a lot of effort to boil this soup, there are so many ingredients that you can't think of, the boiled soup is added with thin bean flour and bean curd, and then added crispy meat and oil residue together, this is the breakfast that our family has not eaten for decades. ”
Cousin Bingzi added another bowl to Yi Bai, and broke a shortbread for him to eat. The crispy shortbread and the delicate and delicious tofu brain are perfectly blended together, complementing each other, which immediately made Yi Bai stunned.
Zhou Hao's taste is lighter, and he prefers a product of tofu and inlaid bean balls.
A product of tofu is a piece of tofu with a big palm, it looks like a clear soup with little water, but this soup is made with the old soup that has been boiled for more than ten hours to skim off the oil skin, and then add the mountain delicacies to stew, and finally when it comes out of the pot, as long as the tofu and the soup are added, nothing else is added, what you want is this umami.
There are also inlaid bean balls, which are fried in the oil pan after the tofu pieces are fried, the fried hard tofu skin is separated with a knife, the tofu inside is taken out, leaving only a layer of skin, and then the meat puree with winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and lotus root is stuffed into it, and then fried in the oil pan again, drained and stewed after the oil, and it is mostly made into a fish fragrance.
A tofu feast has not yet finished the tofu recipes in the town, but basically the classic recipes are included.
Chen Xin and they ate in the town for three days, the first day was at Aunt Bingzi's house, and the second and third days were the tofu dishes of other people's families in the town.
In terms of taste and heat, it is still the good craftsmanship of Aunt Bingzi, but the tofu stewed fish of the new uncle's house on the lower street is very good taste, the spicy and fragrant taste is very appetizing, and the fish meat is particularly tender, and the flavor is delicious.
They were eating and drinking with Uncle Xin here, and as soon as they heard the story of Uncle Xin and Aunt Xin, before Chen Xin could say anything, they heard someone on the street next door shouting something and fighting.
The town is full of two-story and three-story wooden buildings, and the street is very close to each other, that is, the distance between the front and back houses. It just so happened that the house of the new uncle's house was at the back entrance of the lower street, and it was only one building opposite the Zhou family from the street next to it. Listening to that voice, it should be from the Zhou family.
Uncle Xin frowned: "What are the two of the Zhou family doing again?"
"It doesn't seem that the Zhou family is making trouble, it's Aunt Zhou who is fighting with outsiders. ”
They are still a bit of a tourist here, most during the summer vacation, and now during the winter vacation, except for college students and single young people, there are very few families who travel here.
Uncle Xin put down the chopsticks and asked Chen Xin to eat slowly, saying that he would go over and see what was going on.
Uncle Xin used to be a member of the village committee, but later disagreed with the village chief and simply resigned to open a restaurant, and the other was to do farming. The fish he raises are particularly good, and most of the restaurants in Shili and Eight Towns buy fish from him.
After more than ten minutes, Uncle Xin came over with two young people. Chen Xin saw that it was the little couple who carpooled with them that day to play here. She hadn't seen anyone in the past two days, and she thought they had already left, but she didn't expect them to stay here today.
The boy in the little couple was smashed on his forehead and was bruised. The new aunt hurriedly took the clear oil and asked him to apply it, and then went to the refrigerator to shovel a piece of ice, wrapped it in a towel, and asked the boy to put the ice pack on his forehead.
"This week, the two of them are becoming more and more disagreeable. Uncle Xin complained to his son, "People just said that the tofu made by his family had a sour taste, so they insisted that they were slanderous, and they also made people pay ten times the meal fee, saying that it damaged his family's reputation." "Uncle Xin is also very angry, this week's family is clearly blackmailing and extorting money from outsiders, which is shameless.
"Uncle, their tofu is really sour. The little girl choked up with tears in her eyes, "We didn't lie, we didn't say anything, we just asked her why the tofu was sour, and she was like that." ”
Chen Xin felt that there was a problem when she heard it, the tofu sour must have spoiled after a long time, this obvious thing, and blackmailing diners, isn't this an overlord act? No one in the town cares?
"Our mayor is Uncle Zhou's brother-in-law. Uncle Xin's son quietly explained to Chen Xin, "Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are all because of this, Aunt Zhou thinks that Uncle Zhou can only earn money by her mother's family, and Uncle Zhou said that more than half of the money he earned was given to Aunt Zhou's mother's family, and he was not a relative at all." ”
The new uncle's son is a freshman in college, and he has an early holiday, so he will help with things when he goes home during this time, and he is also very uninterested in the situation of the old Zhou family.
"They have been complained about blackmailing outsiders several times, and if the mayor hadn't suppressed it, it would have exploded several times. There are more people who have been pitted and are not good to keep quiet, and now there are fewer and fewer foreign tourists on our side, and it is estimated that they are all troubled by them. ”
The young man sighed softly, thinking that his own side could have developed a good tourism economy, but unfortunately a few short-sighted fellows only thought about making a profit, and did not think about the consequences of destroying the reputation of the town.
Uncle Xin only brought the little couple out, but he couldn't help the little couple claim justice, so he could only remake some meals with Aunt Xin to fill the little couple's stomach.
Yi Bai wanted to say something impulsively, but was grabbed by Zhou Hao and shook his head.
"Let's talk about this later, whatever you say and do now is to cause trouble for your new uncle. ”
Yi Bai snorted twice and sat down obediently.
"We don't need to do anything, we just need to write about it and spread it on the Internet, and someone will help them find justice when the time comes. ”
Chen Xin guessed that Bingzi should be a local public official, but Bingzi didn't say it herself, and Bingzi's cousin didn't reveal anything, she just found out from Bingzi's words very keenly that he hoped to spread the delicious food and characteristics of the town through Chen Xin's blog. Chen Xin guessed from the tone of Bingzi's behavior and message that it was likely to be the latter.
"When I go back, I'll show the manuscript to Bingzi first. ”
