Zheng's tofu is famous because she can make both old and tender tofu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Old tofu is brine tofu, as the name suggests, it is tofu pointed out with brine, brine is a thing that dissolves in water, brine is salt brine, also called bitter brine, haloalkali, is the crystalline crystallization precipitated after cooling in the salt pond after making salt from seawater or salt lake water, and the salt brine is used as a coagulant to make the protein solution into a gel. This kind of tofu made with salt brine has strong hardness, elasticity and toughness, and is called old tofu or hard tofu.

Tender tofu is gypsum tofu, which is made of gypsum, and gypsum is a mineral that can be used for simple purification. According to Zheng, red gypsum also needs white gypsum, and the taste of red gypsum used to make tofu will be better, so when making tender tofu, Zheng will put a piece of raw red gypsum into the fire and roast it, which is a process that needs to be particularly careful, because the brine can be bought in the market, but the gypsum must be burned before you can order tofu. And the degree of roasting of this plaster should be stared at with a good eye, and it should be stirred in the fire to see if it has burned the heart.

If the plaster is burned too raw, you can't move the tofu, and if it is too cooked, the tofu will be scattered, and there will be an indescribable smell of stinky.

After the red gypsum is burned, it should be crushed into powder, add water to make gypsum slurry, rush into the soybean milk that has just been scooped out of the pot, gently stir it with a spoon, and after a few minutes, the soybean milk will condense into tofu flowers. Tofu is a delicious dish, and of course both tofu and dried tofu are made later. The Zheng family relied on selling tofu and derivatives of tofu, and it was natural that they could earn so much dowry.

Zhang Zhaohua saw these two kinds of tofu, so he asked Zheng which one sells well, Zheng Dao northerners love to eat old tofu, Henan people boast of being northerners, naturally they also love to eat old tofu from the brine, this kind of tofu is very delicious to make a menu, and tender tofu is too tender, easy to break, generally only buy back to make soup in the village, but there are also those who can cook, it is said that digging out the loach can make a tofu.

Zhang Zhaohua finally understood why Zheng's face was so white and tender because it was fumigated by water vapor when boiling bean curd. When this kind of pot cooks bean curd, a lot of water vapor comes out, and Zheng's standing in front of the pot to boil is equivalent to steaming his face, blood circulation makes the skin ruddy and shiny, not to mention the nutrients in soybeans, which can moisturize and whiten the skin.

Zheng's delicate skin rejuvenation makes Zhang Zhaohua envious, Zhang Zhaohua is still young, but only six years old, now after the New Year, it is seven years old, seven-year-old children do not need any maintenance at all, the skin protective film has not yet been generated, although her skin is white, but not tender, it still feels a little rough to the touch, but it is much better than other children in the same village, they have no ointment.

Zhang Zhaohua had a skin care method before, that is, to make hydrosol by herself, and she had limited materials at hand, so she only made ginger hydrosol and wild chrysanthemum flowers, and used a wine steamer used for Fangfang's home wine.

Hydrosol is the extract of flowers and plants, Zhang Zhaohua himself loved these pure natural things in his previous life, and this era is also like this, he made the pure dew of ginger, sprayed it on Wang's face every day, and after three or four months, he did see the effect, Wang's used to have a small spot on his right cheek, which was very obscuring the color, and then sprayed hydrosol, although this scar was not completely eliminated, but it was visibly faded a lot.

But hydrosol can't be stored for too long, especially in this ancient world where there was no freezing mechanism, you can steam a few bottles in winter, and it is easy to release acid in summer. And you can't always borrow things from neighbors, Fangfang asked several times.

Now, in addition to hydrosol, Zheng has provided a new skin care method, which is equivalent to applying a soy milk mask and steaming the face when steaming the bean curd, which really can't be better than this.

Sure enough, when Zheng ordered braised tofu, he could see Zhang Zhaohua standing by the pot with an intoxicated face, and he pushed his face up vigorously - it looked as if he was going to stuff a face into the pot, so frightened that Zheng hurriedly fished her aside.

Of course, in addition to beauty, Zhang Zhaohua has found a way to exercise fitness. Usually, in addition to skipping rope and kicking shuttlecock, it is to smoke the spinning top, and sometimes on a whim, I will do a few yoga movements on the bed that I have not forgotten, but the bed is a limited space after all, and there is no cushion or blanket on the ground, Zhang Zhaohua gave up after doing it a few times.

However, when she saw the stone mill that Zheng brought from home in the yard, she became excited. I still remember that she once had a dream, that is, if she couldn't practice the devil's body, it would be good to be a female man who could stand with both fists and run a horse with both arms.

Zhang Zhaohua secretly pinched Zheng's arms and calves, and sure enough, she touched the muscles, which were the result of doing a lot of heavy work on weekdays, when Zheng was only seven or eight years old, he had to grind by himself, and when he was a little older, he would pull a cart and sell beans, and the muscles were exercised in this way, Zhang Zhaohua felt that she might still have one or two abdominal muscles, and wanted to touch her abdomen, but she was stunned and didn't let her find a chance.

After having a stone mill, Zhang Zhaohua liked to push and grind, and took one as a way to exercise, which was really laborious, Zhang Zhaohua had to take a break to take a breath after pushing three or four laps, but looking at Zheng's face, he could push about ten circles without changing his face, and then understood that this thing also has appropriate skills, paying attention to a uniform speed rather than first fast and then slow.

Zhang Chang and Zhang Sheng both fought with the Zheng family, and both were defeated by the Zheng family. Zheng's hands have a lot of strength, this stone mill is still under her control, but Zhang Chang felt sorry for her tiredness, and also helped to push, at this time Zheng was embarrassed, because Zhang Zhaohua and Zhang Sheng hid and laughed.

Zheng's knuckles are thick, and of course this is what she finds ugly. A pair of hands is no different from a man, and it really doesn't look good when stretched out, but this can no longer be saved through maintenance, because the knuckles are set, but Zhang Zhaohua taught her to move the joints and repair the nails, and the joints are thicker, as long as the hands are straight and slender, not to mention the juice of the nail grass, it is even more to cover the defects.

Zhang Zhaohua felt that Zheng's hands were really amazing, they could do heavy work, and they could also complete delicate needlework and winding.

One more point to mention is the problem of the bride's cooking skills, Zheng has a few good dishes, such as almond tofu, such as cold noodles, the former one because the bride sells tofu, so I am not surprised what kind of tofu can be made. But after eating various flavors of tofu, this almond tofu still made Zhang Zhaohua greatly amazed.

This almond tofu looks better than jelly, and the feeling of eating it in the mouth is much richer than the level of jelly, the appearance is smooth and tender, but there are some delicate graininess, when the tongue grinds the tofu in the mouth, it can really eat a happy feeling, the taste is soft and delicate and slightly bitter, but there is also a sweet aftertaste, and finally it feels bitter and sweet.

This is the tofu made by putting almonds in a stone mill and grinding it, with sugar, chestnut flour and a little Jiang rice, of course, Zhang Zhaohua knows that if this almond tofu can be put with milk, the taste will be more perfect. However, there are no cows that can produce milk in Yongcheng County, and some are only ploughing cows, just like the extra cow in the family.

When I was at the wine ceremony before, I once heard Gao Xu say that his family is in Tongzhou, and Tongzhou has cattle and sheep *** There are also cows and sheep that specialize in milking, and there are also ** made of crisp cheese, which is a specialty, and southerners can't smell the milky smell.

Since there is no milk, it is okay to add a little seasonal fruit, such as a little crushed persimmon and apple at this time, and the frozen pear is also very good, and the perfect combination with the almond fragrance makes people feel refreshed to eat.

Liangfen is also very good at Zheng's, especially the Liangfen with a lot of spicy seasonings, although it is now nine cold days, Zhang Qi has to eat a bowl every day to be happy.

As for the stew and stir-fried meat, the taste is decent, and so is the cooking. After all, the Wang family has been cooking for many years, and the Zheng family still has to study modestly on this.

However, Zheng can also make a dish that is considered a special dish, which is the bud of the unique pepper tree in Dingjiaji.

This dish is called crispy pepper sprouts, and it is the dish that Zheng is making today.
