Chapter 21: Business Hours
"Tofu is not a common people's dish. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"The origin of this ancient ingredient can be traced back to the second century B.C., and it is said that it was invented by Liu An, the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the king of Huainan. ”
However, at that time, tofu was still very rough and had a bad taste, so it was not a good cooking ingredient, so it did not become the mainstream. In the Tang and Song dynasties, tofu became a food eaten by emperors and commoners. You neon people think that the Tang Dynasty Jianzhen monk is the ancestor of neon tofu, this view is actually correct, after all, Jianzhen Dongdu has brought you a lot of technology......"
In a normal tone, I talk about the history of tofu.
Don't worry about goofs, Xia Yu has done his homework in this world, before modern times, the histories of the two worlds almost perfectly coincided, but after modern times, there were different branch developments.
Color, fragrance, and shape.
The word "meaning" refers to the cultural connotation of cooking.
Xia Yu didn't care whether the tongue of the gods was listening or not, so he leisurely grabbed a handful of chopped coriander and sprinkled it on two bowls of tofu flowers.
"Enjoy!"
Pushing the bowl, Xia Yu made a gesture of invitation, and then smiled, "In the future, please don't say that tofu is a common human dish." In my opinion, there is no distinction between high and low food, and the original purpose of making food is to fill the stomach, and on this basis, we can talk about taste, color and decoration. ”
Erina Nagi was stunned.
Xia Yu said with a smile, but she couldn't feel his seriousness.
A sneering remark, choked in his throat. Erina Nagikiri pursed her lips, not even looking at the tofu flowers on the table, showing her resolute attitude with her actions.
"You really don't want to eat it?" Xia Yu laughed.
"Don't eat it!"
"Okay......"
Xia Yu didn't persuade much, let alone the idea of breaking her mouth to deliver food, she brought a small spoon and ate it in one bite.
"Well, it's delicious, it's still that heartwarming taste. Xia Yu ate half a bowl in one go, and muttered to himself.
The Tongue of God sniffed the smell in the air, only to feel the saliva secretion in his mouth accelerate. The chef has an unusually sensitive sense of smell, which makes Erina Nagikiri's heart more and more irritable.
"That sweet smell is brown sugar water?"
"The flavor of tofu is so strong......"
"Why does coriander bring out the flavor of this dish?"
Occupational disease is committed again. Erina Nagikiri unconsciously bit the nail of her thumb, and her face was complicated.
Knock knock.
At this time, there was a knock on the half-hidden door.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
"Ah Yu is here, I'm your sister Mu Xiaoyue!"
Xia Yu knew who it was as soon as he heard his voice, and swallowed the tofu flower in his mouth, "I'm here, come in directly." ”
So, the two Chinese young ladies I met yesterday lifted the gray curtain on the door of the store and walked into the store.
Mu Xiaoyue is the well-known food blogger, and the food travelogue she sent out overnight was too lethal and aroused the cravings in the stomachs of many fans. So Xia Yu got up today and got a bumper harvest of more than 200 fame points.
Speaking of which, Mu Xiaoyue also checked out last night, and that food advertorial, oh, no, it should be called a food article, which is basically a free supply to Xia's Restaurant, and a strong wave of advertising.
"Huh......"
As soon as Mu Xiaoyue entered the door, her nose fanned, following the smell in the air, like a marionette, all the way to the counter, staring at the bowl of untouched tofu flowers, her eyes lit up, "Wow, tofu flowers, this is what you made?"
"Yes, breakfast. Xia Yu nodded.
"Can I eat it, then? You seem to have eaten a bowl, you should be full. Mu Xiaoyue was full of anticipation, with big clear eyes, with cute dress and appearance, that look like a little Lori who reached out for candy.
In the corner of the storefront, Erina Nagikiri pricked up her ears, as if sensing an enemy.
"Yes!"
Xia Yu said casually: "A bowl of tofu flowers, just a snack, it's nothing." In a moment it will be lunch time, and I'm going to make a few dishes to thank you. ”
"Reward or something, wait until I finish eating this bowl of tofu flowers!"
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyue was not polite at all, reached out to Xia Yu and asked for two clean spoons, stuffed one spoon into the girlfriend who was following her, and showed shallow dimples when she smiled, "Xiaoya, eat together!"
Each of them puts a spoonful of snow white and brown sugar water into their mouths, and then they have a wonderful expression.
Xia Yu was on the counter, watching the expressions of the two Chinese young ladies change, and felt very interesting. Especially Mu Xiaoyue, while eating, she used various professional words and words of praise.
"Tofu flower!"
"What kind of soybeans are made of this tofu flower? It's so fragrant, if I can eat soy milk made from this kind of soybeans for breakfast every day, I will definitely be very happy!"
Before you know it, a bowl of tofu has bottomed out. Mu Xiaoyue put down the spoon and stared at him firmly.
"It's worthy of being a well-known food blogger!" Xia Yu gave a thumbs up, "The soul of this tofu flower is indeed in the tofu flower, which can also be said to be the soybeans made into tofu flower." ”
"But unfortunately, the soybeans we use to make tofu and tofu flowers are nothing special, and you can buy them in the shopping street outside. When Xia Yu said this, he deliberately sold a pass.
He secretly apologized to the old man in his heart.
This tofu flower was actually stolen from the old man. After eating tofu flower before, Xia Yu pondered and studied it for a while, and finally understood the secret of tofu flower through the identification of the function of the ingredients in the kitchen god system.
Mu Xiaoyue found a chair and sat down, and cast a strange glance at Erina Nagikiri, and then ignored the beautiful girl with the appearance of an angel, and pointed to the wall on the left, "Where did the menu go?"
"Xiaoya and I deliberately saved our stomachs this morning, just to come to you to try authentic Chinese food again. ”
The corners of Xia Yu's mouth twitched, and he coughed and said: "This small shop is not open yet, and when it opens, it will naturally hang the 12-dish name brand served that day on the wall for guests to choose." ”
"Not open yet?" Mu Xiaoyue opened her eyes, "It's almost noon now, right?"
"The normal business hours are from 6 p.m. to 4 midnight the next day, a total of 10 hours. ”
“……”
"It's understandable from six p.m. to the wee hours of the morning, doing a night shift business, but what the hell is it until four midnight...... After the wee hours of the morning, is there anyone who still finds such a remote place and spends a lot of money to eat Chinese food?" Mu Xiaoyue's face was full of incomprehension.
"This is the business hours that our old man has set for more than ten years, and I don't plan to change it, which is good. ”
Xia Yu was telling the truth.
The small cooking shop is not used to doing business during the day, and these days Xia Yu has also thought about whether to change the business hours after inheriting the small shop.
However, considering that as soon as the spring break is over, he will be in high school, and he will be in school most of the time during the day, Xia Yu simply does not plan to change the business hours. That's good.
