Chapter 839: The Real Cake
Director Xu listened while eating, and kept looking at the camera team, and the camera brother nodded again and again, indicating that it had been recorded.
"Uncle, I'm also a chef, we're filming a show to promote our local specialties, can you let me make a steamed cake in your shop? Of course, we shoot for money......"
"Hey, what's not money, if you can publicize our four treasures in Heishui County, I'll give you money, let's go, I can use whatever I want in the kitchen!
Hearing that the old man was going to instruct Ma Tianyao to make dumplings, Director Xu almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Ma Tianyao smiled and nodded, but did not go to the kitchen, but first introduced the tofu brains eaten by Director Xu and these people to the camera.
I believe many friends may have doubts, why is it one of the four treasures in Heishui County?
Hehe, in fact, the reason is very simple, because the tofu brains sold in Heishui County are different from those made all over the country, and they can even be said to be two dishes.
Tofu brain, is a famous Han traditional snack, often mixed with tofu flower, bean curd, according to the taste of different places, the north loves salty food, while the south prefers sweetness, but only the tofu brain in Heishui County is spicy!
The method of tofu brain is very simple, and here is a brief mention.
Soybeans must be soaked first, ranging from about 4 to 8 hours depending on the variety or personal preference, and then beaten, filtered, boiled, and cooled to 90°C after the soybeans absorb enough water. Finally, the coagulant is added and let stand for 5 to 15 minutes to complete.
Tofu brain, bean curd, and tofu are not the same, tofu brain and bean curd are both intermediate products of making tofu, and there is not much difference in composition. But the tofu brain is the first to come out, it is relatively tender and soft, it is difficult to pick it up with chopsticks, and it needs to be used with a soup spoon; wait until the tofu brain is solidified a little more, it is the bean curd, compared with the tofu brain, the taste is smooth, you can use chopsticks to eat it; the bean curd is put into the mold and compacted to be more solidified. ”
Ma Tianyao smiled and talked eloquently to the camera, not only explained the production process of tofu brain thoroughly, but also explained some of the tricks in it clearly, and the little old man next to him was dumbfounded, so he paid a little attention to Ma Tianyao, but what surprised him was still to come.
The first is the skill of tofu brain marinade, pay attention to micro-fire boiling pulp, rapid fire marinade, such a finished product is white and clean, fresh and soft, turning but not scattering, folding and continuous, stirring but not breaking.
The second must be in the sale of tofu brain, mainly refers to the container containing tofu brain is called a must, because this special large clay jar is more than one meter high and has excellent heat preservation. Even if tofu brain is sold from 5 a.m. to 12 noon in the winter, its temperature can always be kept above 50 degrees.
Another special point is that the flavoring method of tofu brain in Heishui County is particularly unique!!
In fact, it is simply to add garlic juice, refined salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, etc. to the bowl, but the proportion of several condiments changes slightly, and the taste of this tofu brain changes. So even if there are hundreds of shops selling tofu brains in Heishui County, there are only a few that taste better!!"
Syllable!
Speaking of this, the little old man slapped his hand fiercely, and the camera wanted to stop it, but Director Xu hurriedly made a gesture.
The little old man seemed to have forgotten that people were filming the show, and then Ma Tianyao shouted.
More than ten years ago, Zhao Baye, a famous man in Heishui County, was an expert in making tofu brains, and other people's houses sold for five yuan, and his family sold for five yuan.
Alas, it's a pity, a few years ago, Zhao Baye had a cerebral hemorrhage and died, and his son was ten successful husbands and learned thirty percent, although he still hung Zhao Ba's brand, but the taste was far worse......"
Ma Tianyao smiled and nodded.
"Hehe, it seems that you can't just recognize the signboard when you eat in the future, and the taste of a small store is not necessarily worse than that of a big store. ”
"That's right, in this world, the more famous the store, the worse the taste, many tourists are deceived by fame, in fact, if you want to eat authentic, you have to drill into those small alleys. For example, this dumpling is also available in some big hotels in Xianyang City, but what they do is a fart!!"
Only when you love to the extreme can you hate to the extreme, which Ma Tianyao can empathize with!
After a lot of local specialty snacks are on fire, they bloom everywhere, selling in a mess, and some even sell dog meat on sheep's heads, but foreign tourists don't know, they come here to eat special snacks, they feel too unpalatable, in fact, they just don't eat authentic.
These irresponsible businesses are actually ruining the local signboards!!
It is precisely because of this that the little old man will be extraordinarily indignant, in his heart, he would rather let the Dumpling break the inheritance than let the Dumpling be endlessly corrupted in the name of Dumpling!!
Ma Tianyao finished introducing the tofu brain, got up and followed the little old man to the back kitchen.
Although the Ah Fang snack bar is dilapidated, the hygiene of the kitchen is very clean.
She washed her hands under the tap, and then officially began to introduce the pastry.
"One of the four treasures of Heishui County, it is a soft twist of noodles, oil, green onions, and seasonings into sandwich cakes, baking them in a pan, frying them in oil, and making them yellow and soft crispy. Oily but not greasy, fragrant. ”
Speaking of this, the little old man was about to open his mouth to correct her mistake, but saw Ma Tianyao shaking his head with a smile and saying.
In fact, this practice is wrong, the real pastry is made with horse oil and noodles, wrapped with rock sugar, green and red silk, white sugar, and peanut kernels or walnut kernels as filling, fried in the pan, the cake is launched into bubbles, the color is golden, crispy and delicious. Because horse oil is rare, it is mostly replaced by large oil. But the taste of the pastry made from big oil and horse oil is very different!!"
After Ma Tianyao finished speaking, the eyes of the little old man standing next to him immediately turned into cow eggs!!
He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say, how do you know the recipe for the pastry? He even looked at his daughter suspiciously, as if asking, did his daughter know Ma Tianyao and secretly told her?
Then, the situation that made him even more jaw-dropping appeared, and he saw Ma Tianyao skillfully find the horse oil and start to mix the noodles, and then start making the horse oil pastry!
The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, Ma Tianyao's production speed, ingredient selection, and seasoning ratio were all just right, and the speed was extremely fast, he thought that if he didn't have ten years and eight years of production experience, he wouldn't be able to do this anyway.
But if you look at the age of the other party, at most you are in your early twenties, could it be that the other party started to learn how to make dumplings at the age of eight or nine? How is this possible? How can Heishui County not know himself who makes dumplings?
