Chapter 45: Stinky Tofu

The weather in Luoyang City is getting colder and colder, and it has been almost half a month without sunshine, and it is cold and gloomy, even if you put a brazier in the house, you can't get rid of that coldness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Emperor Taizong in the sacrifice of the sky after the flag, ordered Li Ji to be the marshal of the army, the army sent to Goryeo, Li Ke's heart was enthusiastic to lead the troops out of the battle of the idea of completely failed, Wu Wangfu for several days closed doors, but the prince's mansion on the side is prosperous, often courtiers in and out, or in the name of dispatching grain and grass, or in the name of coming to the door to take refuge, this stark contrast makes Li Ke's heart even more depressed, depressed, with the guards out of the city, in the name of the name of recuperation.

Listening to the words of the little guy sent by Sister Yun to inquire about the news, the businessman was completely relieved, it seems that everyone is very busy, that Li Mo should assist the prince in governing the government, and fighting Goryeo is a big deal, he shouldn't come uninvited again these days, right?

Every time she faced his uninvited and unauthorized intrusion, she had a sense of powerlessness, if he was a disciple and a thief picking flowers, but so many chances, if she really wanted to eat and wipe clean, I was afraid that she would have no bones left, but to say that he had no ideas, and it didn't make sense, why did he run to her room blindly after eating the black light?

Sometimes she wonders if there's something wrong with him.

As for Li Ke, although she was a little sensitive and felt that there seemed to be some hidden hope in his eyes, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just came a few times to listen to her singing, and gave a lot of rewards, Sister Yun took advantage of this smartly, and it was rumored that King Wu favored her, for Sister Yun's small actions, Shang Shang didn't believe that Wu Wangfu didn't know, but he took a tacit attitude, which made Shang Shang reduce a lot of trouble, relatively speaking, if Li Ke didn't do anything out of the ordinary to her, The merchant was still a little grateful to him.

That's good, and it's good to live a small life in peace for now!

The merchant smiled at the bronze mirror on the dressing table, which was blurry but also made him feel happy.

got up and went downstairs, the merchant turned into the small kitchen in the backyard, since she said that the morning in the workshop was monotonous, Sister Yun gave her a good cook, every time she wanted to eat, she directly told the cook to do what she wanted, as time went by, the cook learned a lot of skills, not to mention anything else, just said pork learned a lot of good practices.

Merchants have always been unaccustomed to eating beef and mutton, when I was a child, I lived in my grandmother's house for a while, I saw the crops slaughtering cattle, and saw the tears that flowed quietly from the big cow's eyes, and the merchants could no longer eat beef, but the mutton was fishy, but at this time pork was not welcomed, the rich people disdained to eat, and the rich people would not eat, and the cook also muttered several times, and the merchants thought that she would get a rash when she ate it, and over time, she became accustomed to the taste of the merchants.

"Mother Song, is the tofu I asked you to make last time? It's been half a month. Shang Shang entered the kitchen and saw that the mother-in-law of the kitchen that Sister Yun pointed out to her was picking the vegetables she had just bought, so she stepped forward and asked.

"Almost, the girl is here, I'm just going to open it and take a look." Song's mother was about forty years old, a man died in the family, and she raised her son alone, but she didn't think that her son was old but not filial, married a wicked woman, and drove her out of the house.

While replying, Song's mother stood up, wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, quickly moved out a large clay pot, and removed a piece of cotton cloth from the jar with one hand.

"Ouch! What does it smell like? Why does it stink so much? ”

The merchant didn't care, sniffed his little nose lightly, and patted the jar happily.

"Mother Song, take out all the tofu in this and put it on the board one by one, I'll take a look!"

"Girl! This tofu must be bad, the old woman has long said that if you put it like this, how can it not be bad? It's better to throw it away as soon as possible! Otherwise, this room should stink! Mother Song had a bitter face, she couldn't figure out what kind of trouble this merchant was making, the smell was really unbearable, but she still had to put it out one by one to see!

"Mother Song, you don't understand this, just listen to me! Hurry up! Shang Shang smiled tooth and eye, this is a snack she likes very much! If you can succeed, you will have one more benefit in the future!

Mother Song twisted a handkerchief to tie her nose, and then she came to the mouth of the jar and took out the layers of tofu laid out inside one by one and put them on the board.

After Song's mother put all the tofu out, the merchant rushed to the board and looked at the small tofu pieces, stretched out two fingers and twisted them, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmmm! It's silky, and the hair is also good, a thin layer, very even! Not bad! The merchant muttered to himself while looking back for Mother Song, since the raw materials have been prepared, it is time to get out of the pot.

"Mother Song!" As soon as he turned around, Shang Shang found that Song's mother was no longer in the house, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Hey! Girl! Allow me to take a breath! It stinks so much inside! Mother Song stood outside the house gasping for breath, and her flushed face returned to some color.

The businessman looked at Song's mother with an expression that was about to stink, and was a little embarrassed, is it really that stinky? Forget it, let's do it yourself!

"Mother Song, you help me light a fire, I'll get it myself, save it from smelling, that's mine." The merchant scratched his head a little embarrassed, after all, in modern times, not everyone can stand this smell.

"Don't say that, girl, it's all my duty, I'll just take a breath, you wait a while!" Mother Song gasped twice as she spoke, and then she strangled her nose with a handkerchief and entered the house.

Hands and feet quickly lit the fire between the stoves, listened to the instructions of the merchant poured a spoonful of oil into it and boiled, and then threw the tofu into the pot piece by piece and fried it in oil, and after a while, a smell that could not tell whether it was stinky or fragrant floated out.

The merchant saw that Song's mother made it very easy by herself, so she took a porcelain bowl to peel the garlic on the side, this stinky tofu is not good without garlic, and you have to get some sesame seeds, otherwise it is not fragrant enough, and there are peppercorns, which is essential.

Looking at the pieces of fried golden tofu, her saliva can't stop gushing out, grandma is from Hunan, she makes authentic Hunan dishes, fried stinky tofu is a must, and she still remembers the fragrance.

When the saliva in his mouth was about to drip down, a suspicious voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Merchant? What do you get? What's the smell? ”

The merchant looked up when he heard the sound, but it was Ruyi in the courtyard next door standing in the courtyard looking at the kitchen, while also fanning his nose with a handkerchief, his head full of pearls and emerald with a cloud brocade, how beautiful he looked, but the expression on his face was not very good, and his eyebrows were frowning, as if he was a little uncomfortable.

"Hehehe! Wishful? It's you! Count yourself lucky today, I have something good here, I'll eat it later! Since the Oiran competition, the relationship between Ruyi and her has eased a lot, and the two live close together, but they often come and go, and the merchant sometimes gives her a copy of what is delicious.

"Good stuff? What's good? Green Sleeves came in through the door, and before he saw anyone, he smelled a foul smell, and when he heard the merchant say that there was something good, he was a little strange, and he fanned the smell in front of his nose as he walked inside.

"Wishful Girl!" Green Sleeves saluted Ruyi, Ruyi pulled her up with a smile, and gestured to Green Sleeves while covering her nose.

"Ahh What is your girl trying to figure out? It is said to be a good thing, but this smell can really smoke people! ”

Greensleeves smiled and didn't speak, since her brother came, she had been like this, and her mood was not high.

Seeing that the tofu pieces were almost fried, the merchant found a few plates to pack the tofu pieces, and saw that there was still some oil left in the pot, so he told Song's mother to put her pounded peppercorns and sesame seeds into the pot and stir-fry them, and put some ingredients to adjust the sauce.

"Come, come, come! One person served two plates and placed them on the table in the front room. The merchant greeted Green Sleeves and Ruyi, and motioned to Mother Song while Nunu mouthed: "Mother Song, there are still a few pieces here, you can taste it, I will put this sauce here, you can dip it on it." ”

Ruyi and Green Sleeves pinched their noses and carried the tofu into the front hall, and as soon as they saw the table, they hurriedly put the plate on it, twisting it to the side and gasping for breath.

When the merchant looked at them, he couldn't help laughing, and his white teeth shook dazzlingly.

"You're still laughing? You don't know what to do! Stinks to death! Ruyi blushed and stomped her feet, although the things made by the merchant have always been good, and she also ate very happily, but this time, she didn't dare to compliment this thing!

"Qiuyue, Chunhua, the two of you will send these four plates to Sister Yun, Xiangnu Girl, Man'er Girl, and Linglong Girl, and say that the merchant will invite them to eat some snacks and let them eat while they are hot." The merchant shouted out the door, and two little girls with double buns came in, took a snack plate and withdrew.

The merchant handed the bamboo chopsticks in his hand to the two of them and said, "Don't say that I don't remind you, this thing needs to be eaten hot to be comfortable, if you don't eat it, don't regret it later." ”

As soon as the words were finished, they didn't wait for the two of them to react, they put a piece in their mouths, and when they took a bite, the tender tofu was full of juice, the spicy taste of the sauce and the smell of the tofu were together, it was a perfect match, and the merchant was intoxicated while chewing hot, and he hadn't eaten such a delicious stinky tofu for a long time!

Ruyi and Green Sleeves glanced at each other, and they couldn't resist the temptation, mainly because the merchant was too intoxicated, squinting, puffing out, and muttering while chewing, although she couldn't hear what she said, but obviously, she was very satisfied with the taste of this thing!

"Is it really that delicious?" Ruyi didn't believe it, but he still took a piece and took a small bite carefully, the skin was crispy on the outside, and the inside was tender and juicy, as if the smell was not as unacceptable as he imagined, but blended with the spicy sauce to become a unique fragrance.

Swallowing it in one bite, Ruyi couldn't help but take another bite, and the merchant looked at her with some smugness, this is his favorite snack!

Green Sleeves saw that the two of them had a delicious and comfortable expression, and finally couldn't help but clip a piece, who knew that this piece would go down, and he couldn't help it anymore, the three of them fought for me, and the two plates of stinky tofu were eaten in a moment.

"Green Sleeves! Is this stinky tofu delicious? Shang Shang looked at Green Sleeves with unfinished eyes.

"Hmmm! Delicious! Green Sleeves put down his chopsticks, got up and took a handkerchief and handed it to the merchant to wipe the corners of his mouth.

"Then you say, will I teach your brother to make this stinky tofu and sell it?" The merchant looked at the green sleeves and discussed, the last time the green sleeves were crying, she was still a little afraid when she remembered it, the poor in the prosperous world are still poor after all!

"Girl! You said teach my brother to make stinky tofu? Green Sleeves' eyes widened in surprise, the last time her brother came to her, he was really forced to do so.

When he was working in a large family in the east of the city, he accidentally broke the screen in someone's house, and the family was reasonable, as long as he asked a craftsman to repair the screen, but he was poor and white, where could he afford to hire a craftsman to repair the screen? In the end, it was really unbearable, remembering that the sister was serving by the side of the Luoyang Oiran, and I always heard her say that the merchant girl was a good person, and treated her very well, so he was cheeky and begged to come to the sister, he was also an honest man, when he told his sister-in-law, his face was red with shame, he was a big man, he had no interest to support his sister, and he begged the sister to help him, he really felt that he was unproductive!

"Green Sleeves! I have thought about it, the cost of making this stinky tofu is not high, the key is the hair and sauce, the method is also simple, and the snack is not expensive, and other idlers can afford it, let your brother set up a stall in a crowded place, fried tofu to sell, not to mention how much money can be earned, it should still be able to make a living, it is better than him looking for work everywhere. Shang Shang looked at Green Sleeves seriously, she didn't have much ability, although she gave Green Sleeves some silver to settle this matter last time, but this is not a long-term solution after all, her brother is an honest person, he can't do too big things, if he can learn to fry stinky tofu, it should be no problem to make a living.

"Girl!" Green Sleeves looked at Shang Shang with tears in her eyes, she really didn't expect the girl to think so much for her, her brother is an honest man, and he is often bullied when he works outside, if it is really like what the girl said, then she doesn't have to worry about her brother starving and freezing in the future.

"Green Sleeves kowtow to the girl! The girl's kindness, Green Sleeves will remember it for the rest of her life! Saying that, Green Sleeves was about to kneel down and kowtow, his face was full of tears, and his little shoulders twitched.

"That's what you say, it's a good thing! What are you crying about? Ruyi on the side was also a little moved, busy playing a round on the side, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

The merchant grabbed the green sleeve and didn't let her kneel, hugged her and whispered: "Don't do this, green sleeve!" You're the best person I've ever been here for! How can I not help you? ”

There was a gleam in the merchant's eyes: Green sleeves! What a silly girl!
