Looking at the tofu brain in the bowl in front of Xiao Peng's eyes, Sophia asked curiously, "What is this? It looks delicious!"

"It's a soy product you don't want to eat!" Xiao Peng replied angrily.

"Is this a soy product?" asked Gilmarward curiously. Although she has been to Huaxia, even if she eats Huaxia breakfast, it is rice porridge, bread and milk, etc., and I really don't know what the breakfast of Huaxia people usually looks like.

Xiao Peng nodded, and he was very patient with Jima Ward's question: "Actually, the method of tofu brain is not difficult, that is, soak soybeans in water, add water, and use a soymilk machine to make soymilk, and after filtering, heat the soymilk and add a small amount of salt to form it." ”

After hearing this, Jima Ward was puzzled: "Salt brine? Isn't that poisonous?" The so-called salt brine is water with strong mineralization, and the water in some stone crevices often encountered in the wild but cannot be drunk, that is, salt brine. It is a liquid mineral. Salt can be extracted from it, but it cannot be drunk, and if it is taken orally or by mistake, it will cause serious poisoning.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Salt brine is poisonous, but if it touches soy milk, it will produce tofu and produce tofu." After someone is poisoned by salt brine, the best way to detoxify is to pour a large amount of cooked soybean milk to the victim, which can produce a reaction in the stomach and relieve the toxicity of salt ------brine. ”

"Of course, now instead of using brine, edible gypsum or glucose lipid is used to make tofu brain or tofu, and they are poured into the pot after being boiled in cold water, stirred well, and after waiting for a period of time, the tender and delicious tofu brain can be eaten. This is a food that our Chinese people like very much. However, there is still a debate about how to eat this thing in our Chinese country that lasts for thousands of years. ”

Jima Ward was puzzled and asked, "Isn't this your traditional Chinese food?

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Don't you know, our Huaxia is too big, northerners love salty, southerners love sweet, and now, there is still a debate about whether this tofu brain should be sweet or salty." However, I feel that it is due to the different positioning of this food in the north and south. ”

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Peng replied: "Northerners are used to eating tofu brain as breakfast, soup and water plus a piece of cake or a few fritters, that is a meal, while southerners are used to using tofu brain as a kind of dessert after the house, so add sugar to it." ”

An Xiaoya said with a smile: "Our family rarely makes tofu brains, just because my family Lao Dai and I are from two different parties, I am a sweet party, he is a salty party, and we have argued about this matter I don't know how many times." In fact, not only these, but we are not on the same front as any zongzi dumplings. He eats zongzi and glutinous rice balls or salty party!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng smiled and explained to a few girls on the side: "Like zongzi and tangyuan, they are also our traditional Chinese foods, at that time, northerners are used to eating sweet, while southerners like to eat salty, which is exactly the opposite of tofu brain." ”

"Why is that?" said Ally, curious when she heard this.

Xiao Peng scratched his head: "This should be regarded as a historical issue." The northern diet has a unique culture of 'wrapping', and you want to wrap it in any taste. Since ancient times, the north has been dominated by military groups and nomadic tribes, due to geographical factors and climate factors, food shortages, it is difficult to eat fresh food raw materials in winter, so it is necessary to use a large number of seasonings to enhance the taste, while the south is not short of food, pay attention to the fine diet. Like what kind of meat dumplings and vegetables and meat dumplings, in the past in the north, it was unimaginable, at that time there was no feed, pigs were to give them the leftovers of the family to eat, but in the north in winter there are only radish and cabbage and the like, what can pigs eat? ”

An Xiaoya asked on the side: "Xiao Peng, are you a sweet party or a salty party when you eat tofu brains?"

Xiao Peng didn't even want to answer: "It must be a salty party! The sweet party that eats tofu brains is an outlier!"

An Xiaoya laughed, poured braised soup into Xiao Peng's bowl, put in the tofu brain, and a bowl of fragrant tofu brain was placed in front of Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng sniffed it and asked curiously, "Your marinade tastes great!"

An Xiaoya replied: "Actually, it's nothing, the method is very simple, but after all, it is eaten at home, and there are more natural raw materials and more exquisite ones." ”

"Oh, how did you do that?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

"After the onion and garlic are fried until fragrant, add the fungus and daylily, put in the five-spice powder after frying, fry the abalone juice with light soy sauce and oil, then add water and boil, pour in starch and add some pepper and sesame oil. An Xiaoya replied.

Xiao Peng tasted it and directly stretched out his thumb: "Good taste!"

Sophia sniffed: "Brother-in-law, this smell seems to be very good!"

"yes, it smells really good. Kayatana nodded.

Xiao Peng pouted: "Eat your milk, didn't you hear?" This is what Miss An specially did to entertain me. It's none of your business!"

An Xiaoya smiled: "It's okay, I've made a lot, do you want to taste it?"

The two girls nodded together, and they smiled, "I want to try it too." Jimma and the others nodded, they all wanted to taste it.

An Xiaoya smiled: "Do you like to eat sweet or salty?"

Arrie asked, "What does sweetness look like?"

An Xiaoya said: "I use brown sugar, red dates, osmanthus and wolfberry to boil sugar water, and put sugar water in the tofu brain." Some people like to eat ice, but I don't have time, so I can only eat hot like this, I don't know if you mind?"

Yali looked at everyone, "Can we have a sweet and salty one?" Let's taste the difference between the two. ”

"Absolutely. An Xiaoya ran to the kitchen, and no one gave her two small bowls of tofu brain, one sweet and one salty.

Xiao Peng scratched his head, he had already expected what would happen.

Sure enough, after a while, there was already an argument at the dinner table. However, the thing that puzzled Xiao Peng was that he thought that there were more sweet parties, after all, Westerners love sweets, but he didn't expect the final result to be three to two, with the salty party leading.

Yumi and Cayetana are the sweet party, while Yari, Jimma and Sophia are the salty party.

And like Huaxia, the war between the sweet party and the salty party has begun.

"Kayatana, what's the matter with you? It's so sweet and delicious, why do you like salty food?" Kayatana stared at Sophia beside her with wide eyes.

Sophia shook her head and said, "It's you, how can you love sweet? ”

"But how fresh is this sweetness? Didn't you listen to Miss An? The ingredients in the sugar water are all plant raw materials, not only the sweetness is just right, but also there is a fragrance of osmanthus flowers, how good this tastes, no less than the dessert made by a three-Michelin chef!" Caya Tana retorted.

Yali shook her head: "No, no, no, Kayatana, you also know that I love sweets, but as far as this tofu brain is concerned, you must eat salty, the tofu brain itself tastes very light and sweet, and the salty marinade has a strong taste contrast, and it can also cover up the bean flavor in the tofu brain! ”

After hearing this, Yumi disagreed with Yali's opinion: "I think the taste of sugar water can highlight the flavor of tofu brain, and sugar water is the best soup to cover up the flavor of beans." ”

Anyway, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

"Xiao Peng, which of us do you think is right?" The two sides were arguing so much that no one could convince anyone, so they could only turn to Xiao Peng, who was eating on the side. Xiao Peng didn't participate in this sweet and salty dispute from beginning to end, he kept eating and eating on the side, not to mention anything else, An Xiaoya's fried cakes were very delicious, and he had already eaten four pieces.

Hearing someone ask himself, Xiao Peng spread his hands: "The things you are arguing about have been arguing about in Huaxia for too many years, this is not a matter at all, do you think it is delicious?" ”

Yumi asked curiously, "Why have you never made us this kind of food?"

Xiao Peng looked helpless: "Didn't you listen to me? This is a soy product, when did you love to eat soy products?"

Jimma Ward asked rhetorically, "When did you make us soy products to eat?"

Xiao Peng asked, this is true, but this can't be blamed on Xiao Peng, it is not so easy to buy soy products in Europe, even Chinese stores rarely sell them, even if there is still the kind of vacuum packed pickled dried tofu and the like, Xiao Peng has really never cooked soy products for everyone.

Xiao Peng pouted: "Okay, it's a personal prejudice." Do you really want to eat soy products?"

"yes, how delicious!" Arlie nodded.

"You wait for me!" Xiao Peng got up and walked out of the room and returned to the RV, took out three bottles from the ring and returned to the room, putting the three bottles on the table: "Who wants to try this thing?"

"What is this?" Several people looked at the table together, and An Xiaoya became happy: "Mr. Xiao, can you even bring this thing in?"

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "It's a little meaning." Would you like a piece?"

"It's a must!" An Xiaoya was also not polite: "Mr. Xiao, I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I was in China, I was thinking, how good it would be if I could eat Western food every day? Sometimes I miss the taste of this tofu in my dreams. Well, not including the stinky tofu in this. ”

There are three bottles on the table, namely Wang Zhi and red tofu, Wang Zhi and stinky tofu and Guanghe drunken square tofu. This is a seasoned snack that Chinese people like very much.

Westerners like to eat fermented milk, uh, cheese, for example, and Chinese people like to eat fermented foods with beans, such as tofu.

Xiao Peng opened the caps of the red bean curd and the drunken bean curd and handed it to a few girls to smell, he was still relatively qualified, and he didn't open the bottle of stinky bean curd, but even so, the girls couldn't stand it anymore, and they all frowned: "What kind of smell is this!"

Xiao Peng smiled: "This is very similar to the cheese you eat, it is all made by fermentation." You may not smell used to it, but trust me, it still tastes good. ”

Yali frowned, "Where's this the same as cheese? ”

Xiao Peng pouted: "African camel milk cheese, Dutch ball cheese and sheep poop cheese, which one smells fragrant?"

An Xiaoya said: "Hey, a lot of cheese over there is a lot of cheese that stinks, such as Bolovro cheese, the more ripe it is, the more stinky it is, and Parmesan cheese, Gorgonzola cheese, Taranino cheese, Casumazu cheese, etc., which one is not bad smell? Like Casumasu cheese, it is no longer an unpleasant smell." That's food from hell!"

Casumasu cheese is the best cheese from Sardinia, and it is very expensive. It is produced only in Sardinia and the nearby island of Corsica.

Not to mention eating this kind of cheese, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle: the raw material of this cheese is local goat cheese, which is left at room temperature until it is rotten, and it must be very rotten, and then the larvae of the cheese fly insect are poured up, and the acid secreted by the eggs will gradually reduce the fat content of the cheese, and finally the cheese will become soft, almost liquid.

And the most basic judgment to distinguish between good and bad cheese is to see how many maggots are in it, and there are thousands of maggots in a good piece of casumasu cheese!

Eating casumasu cheese is also very challenging to the extreme, and it is eaten with maggots! Who says foreigners don't eat bugs? They eat heavier flavors!

The process of eating that kind of cheese is also very scary, there are two ways to eat, the first is to open and eat directly, those disturbed fly maggots can jump up more than ten centimeters high! So when eating, they will cover the cheese with their hands, and a piece of cheese has not been eaten, and their hands are full of fly maggots.

Many people think that eating it this way will waste a lot of maggots, so they choose the second way, which is to put the cheese in a paper bag first. Because of the lack of oxygen, maggots jump around in the paper bag, and when there is no sound in the paper bag, the cheese can be eaten----- or eaten with the fly maggots!

As a result, Yari Yumi and Jimma looked disdainful when they heard this, and Yumi asked rhetorically, "Have you forgotten what my house does?

An Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand what You Mei meant, Xiao Peng was happy, turned around and ran out again, and after a while, Xiao Peng ran over with a sealed paper bag: "An Xiaoya, let me give you a suggestion, you turn on the west range hood." ”

An Xiaoya didn't understand what Xiao Peng meant, Xiao Peng was carrying a paper bag in his left hand, and Wang Zhi and stinky tofu in his right hand: "Come on, the pinnacle of stinky food has arrived, whether it is the most stinky Limburg cheese in the West that is terrible, or our stinky tofu in China is superior, and now it's time for a showdown!"

An Xiaoya covered her face, these two things were opened at the same time in a sealed room?
