Chapter Seventy-Two: Preserved Eggs
When Shen Changting returned home, he saw Zhao Qingzao happily counting copper plates in the yard.
The purse was thrown on the table, on one side of which was a pile of copper plates, and on the other side was pen, ink and paper, with some marks on it, and it was impossible to see what was written. Zhao Qingzao counted the money with a smile on her face, as if what she was in front of was not a small copper plate, but a mountain of gold and silver. She counted so carefully that she didn't even see Shen Changting come in.
As soon as Shen Changting saw it, he knew that this was the reward for buying salted duck eggs today. He doesn't particularly care about these, he thinks that the family's money, as long as it is enough, can afford to buy rice, occasionally add a meat dish, and can have a saying in winter: "It's hard to say, I'll try it again." "The elastic and tough egg white, the soft egg yolk, and the seasoning specially blended by Zhao Qingjujube are salty, fresh and refreshing, as a cold dish, it is indeed a good dish.
Shen Changting only felt that he had never eaten such a strange thing, although it was strange, but it was quite delicious. There was some resistance in the first bite, and then I couldn't stop the chopsticks, ate another piece, put down the chopsticks, and said seriously: "This preserved egg has never been eaten before, and I haven't even heard of it." At first, the taste was a little uncomfortable, but after that, you can feel the deliciousness, and it has a different flavor compared to salted duck eggs. ”
"Great! Sure enough, there are still people here who like to eat!" Zhao Qingzao was overjoyed, now she didn't have to worry about being unpopular, as long as someone liked it, she could find a way to sell it.
Seeing that she was so happy, Shen Changting also congratulated her, these days Zhao Qingzao has worked hard for these little things, others don't know, but he sees it all in his eyes, and he is also relieved to be able to succeed. However, he was still a little cautious: "I'm alone, I can't be careless, and find someone else to try." You don't have to worry about it, I think it's delicious, and someone will like it. ”
Zhao Qingzao also plans to do this, if she recklessly sells it, in case the people here don't like it, but smashes her brand, the popularity accumulated with salted duck eggs before will also be frustrated: "Well, I think so too, when I go to work, take a few to the yamen, there are many people there, just come and investigate." ”
Shen Changting felt that it was feasible, and encouraged her a few more words, and the two went to work.
Zhao Qingzao thought, as soon as he came, he would make cold preserved eggs, it would be too monotonous, and there were no side dishes, only the taste of the preserved eggs themselves.
After quickly filtering the recipe in my head, I finally decided to make preserved egg tofu. Tofu is a very magical thing, no matter what you drink and cook together, you can match it very cleverly, which can not only combine the advantages of two flavors, but also because of its lightness, it will not destroy the characteristics of the other ingredient. At this time, it is best used to match preserved eggs.
When the cook saw the strange food brought by Zhao Qingzao, she was a little curious about what kind of dishes she could make, and watched from the side while making her hands.
Zhao Qingzao washed and shelled the preserved eggs, cut them into small pieces, and set aside. Then cut the tofu into even slices, stack them neatly on a plate, and place them in a pot to steam over water. Tofu is originally cooked, and the official time does not need to be too long, as long as it is heated thoroughly. On top of the chopped tofu, top the mustard cubes and then the preserved eggs. Finally, drizzle with the prepared sesame oil, soy sauce and other seasonings.
Succeed with flying colors.
Zhao Qingzao looked at the finished product in front of him with satisfaction. The cook asked, "That's it? It's too easy, isn't it?"
