Chapter 562: Stinky Tofu (Part II)
Liu Mang squatted at the door and leisurely ate this stinky tofu, turned around and walked into the store and came to the back kitchen.
"Let's fry the tofu first, and if someone wants to eat it, fry it again, and the texture will be even more crispy." Liu Mang thought to himself.
Suddenly, the aroma of fried stinky tofu wafted out of the kitchen, out of the store, and out of the alley......
"Husband, do you smell anything?" asked a girl outside the street, holding a boy's arm.
The boy is tall and wears a simple white shirt and jeans, while the girl is petite and wears suspenders and a black T-shirt.
"Wow! This smells so bad! It can't be a sewer repair. The boy frowned.
"Nonsense, this should be the taste of fried stinky tofu. The girl pulled the boy up: "Let's go, let's go inside." ”
"No, it stinks!" the boy refused.
"Go, go. The girl shook the boy's arm and sprinkled on it.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'm really scared of you. The boy was a little helpless, so he only covered his nose and followed the girl to find the stinking smell and walked towards the alley.
"Well, it seems like that's where the smell comes from. Walking in front of Liu Mang's shop, the girl sniffed and walked into the store.
"Wow, it's really fried stinky tofu!" said the girl excitedly when she saw Liu Mang taking the fried golden tofu out of the oil pot.
"You guys?" Liu Mang raised his head and asked.
"Hello, are you the boss here?" the girl asked.
"Yes. Liu Mang nodded.
"So you're making stinky tofu now?"
"yes. ”
"Do you want to sell it now?"
"Uh...... Selled. ”
"Okay, get me one. The girl pulled the boy to sit down by the bar.
"Do you really want to eat?" the boy was a little reluctant.
"Eat, I've been away from home for a long time, and I'm just thinking about this bite. The girl glanced at the tofu in the pot: "Boss, your stinky tofu is soaked in amaranth juice, right?"
"Yes, you are from Zhejiang Province, right?" Liu Mang took a bowl, filled it with a few slices of stinky tofu, and poked holes in it with chopsticks in turn: "Do you want chili peppers?"
"Yes, it's just slightly spicy. The girl nodded: "Husband, don't you want it?"
"No, I'll just watch you eat it. ”
"Please take your time. Liu Mang quickly prepared a bowl of dipping sauce, poured it into the fried tofu, and then sprinkled it with mustard, peanuts and chopped green onions.
"Hmm...... That's the taste. The girl took the chopsticks from the chopsticks on the bar and took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression.
Then, she picked up a piece of tofu and brought it to her mouth to bite it.
"Hmm......" The girl closed her eyes slightly, looking very satisfied.
The smell of stinky tofu comes from the sulfide produced by microbial fermentation of protein in amaranth juice. After being fried at high temperatures, there is a rich aroma in addition to the smell, which only those who really understand it will understand.
After deep-frying, the skin of the tofu remains crispy, but the inside of the tofu presents honeycomb-like holes that absorb the flavor of the dipping sauce, and when you bite into it, the umami taste buds bloom on the inside, and the spicy taste of the chili pepper is added.
"Hmm...... It's delicious!!" The girl finished eating one piece, and eagerly picked up another piece and put it to her mouth.
"Is it that delicious?" said the boy, who had been covering his nose, in surprise.
"It's really delicious, would you like to try it?" the girl picked up a piece of tofu and handed it to the boy.
"Don't. The boy looked away and resisted.
"Come on, just take a small bite, I promise you'll love it. ”
"No, it stinks. ”
"Does it stink?" the girl laughed, stood on tiptoe and put her arms around the boy's neck, and put her mouth up, "Let me kiss you." ”
"Don't make a fuss! I can't stand it. "The boy has a slight cleanliness habit and obviously can't stand the smell of stinky tofu.
"Then you take a bite, just take a bite, and I'll let you go. ”
"Okay. I'll just take a bite, and I'll take a bite. The boy replied helplessly.
"Okay, you taste it, and I'll let you go. ”
The boy pinched his nose, and the girl picked up a piece of stinky tofu and brought it to his mouth.
The boy opened his mouth, took a bite from the stinky tofu, and chewed it.
"Huh?" the boy was taken aback after chewing it twice.
The crispy shell splits between the teeth, and when you bite into it, the delicious flavor bursts out of the tofu.
"How's it going? ”
"Well, so-so, it's okay. The boy licked his lips: "Maybe I haven't tasted it yet, I'll take another bite." ”
"Hee-hee, it's delicious!" the girl smiled, shoving the remaining half of the tofu into the boy's mouth.
The boy shook off his cheeks and munched on it, only to find out that it was really delicious!
Yes, the tofu is a bit stinky, but the more you chew it, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes, and with the appetizing chili peppers and crispy mustard, every time you chew your tongue, it's like experiencing a wonderful trip.
After the boy finished eating the piece of stinky tofu in his mouth, he stared at the remaining piece of the girl's bowl and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
At this time, he still felt that this stinky tofu was stinky, it was completely fragrant, and it was fragrant like never before.
"Uh...... Well, I'll try another piece. The boy grabbed it with his hands.
"Hey, don't you hate it for smelling? The girl turned around and held the stinky tofu in her arms firmly.
"Hey...... I didn't know how wonderful the world is! I didn't expect this stinky tofu to be so delicious! It's so addictive!" The boy scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.
"I didn't lie to you. The girl looked smug and brought the remaining piece of tofu from the bowl to the boy's mouth: "Boss, bring us two more!"
"Two is not enough! Four copies!" the boy said as if Columbus had discovered the New World: "You can put more peppers, it's not spicy enough!"
"No problem. Liu Mang shook his head with a smile, picked out the fried tofu and put it in a bowl, and poured it into the dipping sauce.
"Hey, it's so spicy!" As soon as Liu Mang's tofu came up, the boy immediately picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Hey, eat slowly, don't be so exaggerated!" the girl asked, shaking the boy's arm.
"It's so delicious! Especially when you bite it, the juice in the tofu splashes in your mouth, it's so enjoyable!" the boy mumbled.
"Also, the contrast between the crispy skin and the soft inside of the tofu, the smell of the tofu and the aroma of the chew in the mouth, the texture is amazing!
"A life that gives up without trying is incomplete, and stinky tofu is no different. Liu Mang squeezed his eyes at the boy and laughed.
