Chapter 128: River Water Bean Flower
After getting off the Kunlun Snow Mountain and entering the urban area of Hotan, the group was about to go home.
"Second aunt, we still have more than ten days to go to school, otherwise, let's take a plane to Hainan to see the sea!"
After climbing the mountain for a month, Bai Shibing said that he really missed the arms of the mother of the sea.
"I called your father just now to report that he was safe, but he told me to send you brothers back quickly, the training activities of the army are waiting for you!"
When Ai Ma heard this, she was also very sympathetic to the two brothers, who had worked hard in Xinjiang for more than a month, and after returning home, they had to train in the wild with great enthusiasm, and live an inhuman life!
"Oh my God, my God, this world is too unfair, isn't it? Dad really thought that we were out to play in the mountains and rivers, we have been climbing snowy mountains, crossing grasslands, deserts, and grasslands for more than a month, which can be said to have experienced thousands of mountains and rivers, nine deaths and one life! ”
Although Bai Shibing's words are exaggerated, they are really like what he said.
"Okay, Ah Bing, this is what Dad said when we went out, you and I agreed, and now I regret it, my husband has made a promise! And, don't you want to be a great general? If you don't work hard now, you won't be a general in the future, at most you will be a small soldier! ”
Bai Shijun was not like a comforting comfort, and blocked back what Bai Shibing wanted to say.
Because of Bai Xiaozhu's phone call, Ai's father and mother took their four children to find Nie Feng's comrades-in-arms, and flew back to Chongqing directly on their military plane.
When I returned to Wuju Village, smoke was already rising from the Ai family's house, "Mom, this can't be my aunt cooking, right?" ”
"Can you eat it?" Ai Xiaoyu said the next sentence, but she didn't dare to say it.
"I see, maybe your uncle cooks it himself. You must know that when you were a child, your uncle's cooking skills were not bad, especially the river bean curd he made, which he learned from your grandfather, and it was white, tender and tenacious, and your grandfather liked to drink with it the most! ”
Ai's mother recalled the past, and her face suddenly became happy. Suddenly, I was in a trance.
"Sister Xiaoyu, the bean curd made by your uncle and my father is really delicious, I haven't eaten his food for a year or two, since my mother learned to cook, he has laid off himself with honor!"
Bai Shibing remembered that his father's cooking days were really happy in the past, but later his mother slowly learned to cook, and his father's cooking time became less and less.
In recent years, he has implemented the policy of "gentlemen stay away from cooking".
Sure enough, as Ai Ma expected, in the kitchen. Chef Bai Xiaozhu, Liang Xue is his little worker, helping to boil water, cooking dishes, and working happily!
The two of them are so happy, of course, Ai's mother revealed a happy event on the phone, that is, the effect of the Yin and Yang Tai Chi Fruit, with it. Liang Xue can also double cultivate with Bai Xiaozhu, after she knows the Tao. I was so happy that I laughed!
"You're back, eat the river bean curd I made tonight, didn't you say that you eat too much meat in Xinjiang, so you want to eat vegetarian dishes? As it happens, I'm not good at cooking meat either, so tonight I'm all vegetarian. It's all sourced from the backyard! ”
As soon as Bai Xiaozhu's words were finished, everyone was happy, and finally they didn't have to eat meat, and their group was scared when they saw meat now.
"Oh, you children. If it was a few years ago, it would have been good to be able to eat meat a few times a year, but now you are disgusted with eating meat every day for more than a month! Children, be blessed! ”
Liang Xue was really moved, although their family had a good life before, but during the Cultural Revolution, they also suffered from old age.
"Alright, alright, my family's laughter must be hungry, let's serve the food. Laughing, I want to eat more river bean curd made by my uncle for a while! ”
Bai Xiaozhu didn't have much confidence in the other dishes he cooked, but he was sure that he would do it very well.
He found that the river bean curd he made today was even better than what he had made before, the snow was white and delicate, the cotton was strong, overflowing the container without flowing, white as snow, soft as cotton.
"Xiaozhu, my sister found that the river bean curd you made is even better than what my father made in the past, not bad, very good!"
Ai's mother now thinks of her father who died early, and she can be calm, things in the world, life and death, no matter how inevitable it is, sometimes life is more uncomfortable than death, a cultural person like her father who can't pick up his hands and can't mention it, sometimes the spiritual death is more uncomfortable for him than the death of the body, and he is relieved when he dies.
"Uncle, how do you make river bean curd? Teach your niece, after I learn, I will often make it for you to eat in the future, you must know that Doujiang, Douhua, eat more every day, but it is a good thing to whiten and nourish your face. ”
Ai Xiaoyu drank a big bowl of soy milk just now, which was very delicious. She decided that she would drink it every day in the future, she didn't like to drink milk before, and then she didn't love it anymore after encountering the two famous brands in the milk industry, and there were problems of one kind or another.
It's still soy milk, delicious, cheap, and nutritious.
"Girl, if you want to learn river bean curd, you first have to listen to your uncle tell you about the origin of river bean curd."
Ai's father saw that his daughter was happy, so he reminded her.
"In fact, in my opinion, the river bean curd is as the name suggests, that is, the bean curd pushed by the non-polluted flowing river water, but the water in your well may be better than the river water quality, and the river bean curd I made is a grade higher than what I used to make!
In the past, I didn't eat meat all year round, but I could eat river bean curd once or twice a month, and when the river bean curd was ready, it might be better than meat. Legend has it that there is also the so-called tofu feast, and the dishes on that table are made of tofu, which is not unreasonable! ”
Bai Xiaozhu thought bitterly and sighed.
Ai Xiaoyu was very yearning when she heard the tofu feast, and asked, "Uncle, will you make a tofu feast?" ”
"Uncle doesn't know how to make that thing, and at that time, he still made tofu feasts? It's just that the river bean curd has to be eaten, so it's time to snicker. It's your grandfather's association, when he was young, the conditions at home were good, he really loved tofu, nutritious soybean tofu, black bean tofu that nourishes the kidneys, mung bean tofu that clears the heat and fire, and what white tofu, new tofu, frozen tofu, fried tofu and so on.
In fact, I heard your grandfather say that the tofu I just said is just the skin of the tofu feast, and the real authentic tofu is Huainan, Anhui. Your grandfather said that Huainan tofu shakes in your hand without falling apart, and throws it in the soup for a long time without sinking, which is quite magical.
In the future, you will have the opportunity to go to Anhui, but you must taste Huainan tofu, if you can learn their craft, it would be better. ”
When Bai Xiaozhu and Bai Xiaolan talked about tofu, they both said that it was their grandfather's favorite food, but in fact, it had become their favorite?
When it came to tofu, the eyes of the two of them lit up, which was the result of Ai Xiaoyu's careful observation.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will have the opportunity to go to Huainan, Anhui Province in the future, and I will definitely find a chance to taste the tofu there, of course, it would be even better if I could steal the craft."
But, uncle, after talking for a long time, you haven't talked about the practice of river bean curd? You wouldn't be reluctant to teach your lovely niece the trade, would you? Could it be that this is the reserved craft of the Bai family, which is passed on to men and not women? ”
After Ai Xiaoyu said this, the self-sufficient child Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.
"You kid!" Ai's mother couldn't cry or laugh when she heard her daughter's last words.
"In fact, the river water bean curd made by your grandfather is not much different from ordinary people, but when soaking soybeans, some glutinous rice is added and soaked for more than four or five hours, and the well water is ground into soybean milk, and filtered with gauze to remove the slag.
Pour the strained soybean milk into the cauldron and boil, slowly add the bile water, stir it back and forth with a spoon on the side, wait for the bean curd to condense, and then burn the fire into a low fire, keep the pot boiling but not rising, touch it for about five minutes, spread it with gauze, squeeze it slightly with a basket, and the river bean curd will be done. ”
Bai Xiaozhu explained in detail to his two sons and nieces the steps of river bean curd, but the two sons were very active in eating delicious food, and they were reluctant to do it when it came to novices.
They have been in the wild for more than a month, but they have to learn to roast wild game and make wild vegetable soup under the pressure of everyone, and they don't want to eat anymore when they get home.
"Your uncle said this very simply, it's not so easy to do it yourself, girl, have the opportunity to grind your uncle more, let him do it a few more times, you can watch him teach on the spot by his side, then you can learn the real skills!"
Although Ai's mother was not in a good family when she was a child, she was not a person who loved to cook, and her mother usually cooked, so she took her younger siblings to the field to earn work.
Because of this, she really doesn't know how to make the Bai family's river bean curd, she also plans to study hard next to her daughter when she studies, she really loves to eat river bean curd, but what she does is always wrong, there is no tenacity, and it is easy to become a broken bean curd.
"Sister, if you want to learn to speak directly, why do you pull out my family's laughter as a shield? The river bean curd I made is good, but the seasoning is not as good as your sister's, so you hurry up and make it, we are waiting to eat it. ”
Bai Xiaozhu had eaten the seasoning made by her sister, but he couldn't make such a good taste.
"Okay, you can wait, I'll do it right away, it's okay, I usually make a lot of spicy oil, this seasoning is very convenient, it can be done in two minutes!"
This night's gathering, the four children were tired, early in the evening, and went back to the room early to rest.
Ai Xiaoyu cleverly picked two Yin Yang Tai Chi Fruits from the ring space, handed them to Ai Dad, and then went back to the room to rest, but she knew that her uncle and aunt had been anxious for several days.
However, Ai Dad and Ai Mom were pulled by Bai Xiaozhu and Liang Xue and chatted all the time, and when the children were asleep, they talked about the benefits of Yin Yang Tai Chi Fruit.
"Xiaozhu, this yin and yang Tai Chi fruit smells like an aphrodisiac, you and your younger siblings will go back to the room and eat it later, I'm afraid that your desire will come, and it will appear in the living room!"
Ai Dad has the most right to speak, pulled Bai Xiaozhu in the corner, and whispered very proudly, his voice sounded very clear to Ai Ma, but Liang Xue was not a cultivator, so she couldn't hear clearly. (To be continued......)
