Chapter 80: Chicken Tofu

It's an unspeakable past, it was in the past. It seems to be decades ago, so far away that the parties can't remember things; In fact, it has been a long time, and it is close, and it is just yesterday.

No one knows the specific things, but only roughly knows, and this is an unspeakable story.

Looking at the carriage parked under the shade of a tree on the side, the horses were grazing with their heads bowed, and the people in the carriage did not say a word now, and walked quietly in the middle of the carriage.

"My lord, do you want to drink water?" An attendant held a kettle and stepped forward to ask the envoy of Chu.

"Hmm." The envoy of Chu State took the kettle, opened the mouth stopper, and poured a few large mouthfuls of water into his mouth, and sprinkled a little water on his body, bringing a trace of coolness.

"Have you given the little marquis a drink?" The envoy of the state of Chu wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

"Back to my lord, I've already sent it. The little marquis didn't want to drink it, so he retreated to the minister. The attendant said.

"Hmm. You still put a kettle in the carriage, so that if the little marquis is thirsty, it will be convenient for him to drink water. The envoy of the State of Chu ordered.

"It's been put in, and a little bit of fruit and dry food has been put in. By the way, there is not much dry food, and it needs to be replenished in time. The attendant said, "My lord, how long do we have to travel?" Recently, I was in a hurry, so I rushed to Daqi day and night, and now if I go day and night."

"You don't have to rush back like this. We can follow the prescribed itinerary and walk back slowly. The envoy of the State of Chu said, as if he remembered something, "The supplementary words of the dry food were when we arrived. The official smelled a good fragrance, which made people's appetite move. This time, let's go back and add something like this. ”

Talking and talking. He stood up, looked around and said, "It seems to stay not far ahead." After the convoy was called to leave, and after arriving at the place, we had a good rest for the night. ”

"No!"

Under the clear blue sky, there is a continuous stream of green hills and trees, and all kinds of unknown wildflowers bloom in the jungle, blooming like clouds.

It looks very beautiful, but the heat brought by the summer day. These cloud-like flowers still haven't saved people's moods.

Simply on the way, found a few shades to eat dry food, drank water, and rested, the procession of the envoys of the state of Chu continued to look ahead, and in the words of the envoys, they would rush to that place before the sun set today.

It was an inn where the smell of the food was scented. Enough to catch everyone who passes by. This is a wonderful thing on the road, deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone who passes by, and also deeply imprinted in their appetite.

The afternoon sun was too strong. Even the water in the rice fields was steamed so quietly that it made a small sound. The leaves of the seedlings can afford to roll and lose their green luster. There was no wind, and people walked on the ridges where there were seedlings on both sides. It's so hot that I sweat, and it's not easy to breathe. Therefore, no one wants to come out.

A convoy, swaying and full, walked on the mountain path. The totem depicted with gold thread on the flag shines seductively in the sunlight.

A procession, swaying, walked towards the small shop, towards the food in the small shop. A qiē has nothing to do with it, only food and rush are together.

The sun in the sky is also walking step by step, towards the mountains in the west, into the home in the mountains.

Soon after the sun set, the western sky was still burning with an orange-red sunset. The sea, also dyed red by the glow, is even more spectacular than the sky. Because it is active, whenever the rows of waves surge, the glow reflected on the crest of the waves is red and bright, almost like a piece of burning flames, flickering and disappearing. And the row in the back, flickering, rolling, and pouring over.

The glow of the sky faded, and the crimson color turned crimson, and crimson turned light red. Finally, when the red light was gone, the sky, which suddenly seemed high and far away, took on a solemn look. The first morning star shimmered in the dark blue sky. It was so big, so bright, that it was the only one in the entire desert canopy that radiated a dazzling light, like a bright lamp hanging high in the sky.

When the morning star rose into the sky, a red lantern was hung in the beautiful inn, beckoning people from all over the world to come to this small shop.

"On the first nine days of the summer solstice, the feather fan is held in the hand. Twenty-nine and eighteen, stripped of the crown.

Three-nine-twenty-seven, sweating when you go out. Forty-nine thirty-six, swept the open-air accommodation.

Five-nine-forty-five, the hot autumn is like a tiger. Six-nine-fifty-four, take the cool into the temple.

Seventy-nine sixty-three, touching the sheets at the head of the bed. **Seventy-two, looking for a quilt at midnight.

Ninety-nine eighty-one, open the cabinet and get cotton clothes. ”

The ballad was already singing, on such a hot night. The heat hasn't dissipated much, and the air is still hot.

The smell of the heat is mixed with the aroma of the food, and the smell of the food dilutes the discomfort of the heat, bringing a touch of longing waiting for the meal to be baked.

In the small kitchen of the inn, the flavors of life are being staged.

On the big stove, the one in charge is taking snacks like ** sauce tofu.

When making such snacks, prepare tender tofu, eggs, green cabbage heart, quail eggs, shrimp, shredded red pepper, cornstarch; 200 grams of clear chicken broth, 5 grams of salt, 5 grams of monosodium glutamate, 4 grams of chicken essence, 6 grams of chicken juice, pumpkin juice, chicken fat. Among them, pumpkin is steamed and pureed and boiled with fresh soup, which can enhance the color of the dish and have a clear fragrance.

After the raw materials are ready, break the shrimp from the back, remove the sand line, add alkaline water to marinate, according to the ratio of one pound of shrimp to one or two alkaline water, and then gently rub it, and then rinse until clean, so that the shrimp is very white.

Make the tofu into puree, mix well with the eggs, add an appropriate amount of water, and steam in a steamer over low heat until cooked.

Cut the tofu into square pieces, do not pat the powder, fry in a hot oil pan over low heat until golden brown, then soak in the salt-flavored broth until flavorful, keep warm for later use.

Spread out the quail eggs and fry them, round them and set aside. Blanch the cabbage heart and shrimp in boiling water respectively. Then put it on a plate and set it away.

Add the chicken soup to the pot and bring to a boil, add salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence and chicken juice to taste, thicken with cornstarch, add pumpkin juice to adjust the color, seal the chicken fat, and pour it on the prepared plate.

This dish is made with shrimp, chicken broth, quail eggs, etc., and is paired with tofu, which combines meat and vegetables, and the flavor is suitable.

The color is bright, the taste is fresh and tender, salty and delicious.

This plate of chicken tofu is freshly baked. This is a very common side dish like this inn, and their main dish is not to be taken lightly.
