"Humph! Count you as acquaintances! Vera gave him an angry look.

"Gone! Let's go! Grandma urged.

Several people worked together to help load the tofu brain into the car, and Wei pulled the car and took her grandmother to the old house store. Breakfast is not sold in restaurants in the industrial area, only in old houses.

"Whew! Finally gone. Chang Jiuchun let out a sigh of relief.

The rest of the people looked at each other and smiled, they were very happy! No one can stand eating a single food all the time.

In less than half the morning, all the tofu brains were sold out, and Verale's amber eyes sparkled.

Vikala sat down beside Fang Menan and muttered quietly, "I've never seen Vera smile so happy. It used to be as cold as ice. "Even though I had to play all kinds of roles on a mission, I didn't smile from the bottom of my heart.

In fact, they have forgotten what laughter is.

"Oh! Is it! Fang Monan raised his eyebrows, hooked his lips and smiled. Vera, tell me how you feel. ”

Vera pondered for a moment and said, "That incomparable sense of satisfaction and success cannot be expressed in words, watching them eat the tofu brains I made, their faces showed that happy look, and their hearts were happy." I never thought that what I made would be eaten. ”

Vera stood up and walked up to Fang Monan, "Miss, can I learn cooking from you!" ”

"Good! As long as you want. Fang Monan straightened his face and said solemnly, "But don't give up halfway." ”

"This must be, I don't have anything else, but perseverance." Vera said seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out of the devil's training base.

**************************************

Vera waited until the tofu was neither old nor tender, and uncovered the planks and gauze. The tofu finally took shape and was cut into pieces with a knife.

"I finally pressed out the tofu." Vera nodded in satisfaction, looking at her hands in a daze.

Fang Monan leaned back in his chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said lazily, "Accident!" You can also make such soft food. ”

"Yes! White, pure, natural and soft. Vera poked her finger at the tofu she had made, and it was very elastic.

Her strong and murderous hands can also make such soft things.

Fang Monan tapped his index finger on the table and said meaningfully, "When ordinary soybeans are ground into soy milk." Add water. Filter, boil, add plaster, and the magical changes begin. Finally, it turns into crystal clear tofu.

The process. It seems simple. It's also natural. The most natural soybeans and the most natural water are used to make the most simple and unpretentious tofu. And tofu is very malleable.

The emergence of tofu has brought the absorption and utilization of soy protein to a peak in the human body, and the Chinese chefs have an understanding of tofu, which is even more surprising to the world. The infinite inclusiveness of tofu has created a great imagination space for chefs who are good at cooking.

It may be said that Chinese people use tofu to express their soft and flexible adaptability. All of this sublimates a soybean, and these milky white slurries are imaginative.

You can mix shallots and tofu cold, mapo tofu that can be heated, frozen tofu that can be quick-frozen into hot pot, fermented to make magical edamame tofu, tofu brain, smoked dried tofu and so on. ”

"Wait...... Tofu can make so many delicious things, why hasn't Miss, made it! Vera spoke.

"I want to eat! I've been waiting for your tofu to make, so we'll have a tofu feast at noon. Fang Monan smiled, "But you may not understand what I say next, but I still want you to listen!" After your Chinese level improves, you can reminisce. ”

"Oh! That's it! Vera sat up straight and said, "Miss, you say." ”

Fang Monan said, "Tofu is a food given by nature, giving people a feeling of being well-informed about the world, so that the body can easily absorb the essence of heaven and earth, without excess burden, tasting nature, making people's various senses clean of filth and dross, impregnated in pure water, soil, wind, and things, it seems to make the whole person clear, pure, and the joy of the soul is more attractive."

Tofu is not as scarce and noble as truffles and matsutake mushrooms, and not as fragrant and delicious as meat food, but it is such a simple tofu, which is naturally healthy and spiritual.

This may be why eminent monks and monks are willing to use tofu as their staple food, and it is also because it is a natural thing that communicates with the aura of heaven and earth. ”

"The ancients praised tofu for its harmony and virtue. Those who eat tofu can be content with poverty, and those who make tofu also know how to go with the flow.

Falling in love with eating tofu is for health, but also for falling in love with a natural way of life, and also for the pursuit of a quiet life, and I also hope that people will be as white, pure, and natural as tofu......" Chang Jiuchun said crepe, and then shook his head and sighed, "But Vera guesses you don't understand this." ”

"Humph! Knowing Chinese is amazing! Vera gave him a blank look and said, "One day I will understand, don't you just go with the flow and have a peaceful mind!" ”

"Huh!" Fang Monan and Chang Jiuchun glanced at each other, "The understanding is very high!" Chang Jiuchun was not stingy and praised.

Vera looked up with pride, "Actually, it's more about the feeling when making tofu, and it's really peaceful." ”

"Alright, in order to celebrate Vera's first time pressing out tofu, let's have a tofu feast at noon." Fang Menan got up and said.

"Then there will be a blessing." Chang Jiuchun said with a smile.

"There was no good fortune that day." Vera choked.

"Good men don't fight women!" Chang Jiuchun muttered, but Vera, who was quiet, couldn't hear it.

"What do you say! Definitely bad things to say. Vera glared at him.

"I still have something to do, you guys are busy!" Chang Jiuchun's thirty-six plans are the best policy, and he won't do it if he argues with a woman about such a tasteless thing! But after a while, he was hooked up with Scent.

"Hehe......" Fang Menan shook his head and smiled.

***********************

Tofu has countless local specialties and can be used to cook more than 10,000 kinds of dishes, snacks and other foods. This is inseparable from the wide range of cookability of tofu and its products.

Tofu is very inclusive. It can be used as a stand-alone dish, as a main ingredient, an adjunct, or as a seasoning; It can be processed in a variety of cooking processes, cut into cubes, slices or dices...... or stewed, or fried、......; It can be made into a variety of dishes, a variety of shapes, can be cold dishes, hot dishes, soups, hot pot, can be rolled into rolls, clips, balls, bags, etc., can also be made into a variety of flavors, not only dry and fragrant flavor, but also more unique flavor absorption characteristics, "tofu taste." Far better than bird's nest".

The tofu feast is a ceremonial meal for guests in traditional red and white ceremonies. With the rise of vegetarian culture, the extension of the expanded tofu feast. Especially with the rise of farmhouses, tofu feasts are very popular.

The brazier is a winter heating appliance in the northern countryside in the old days, in the middle of winter. Place a casserole pot on top of it. Add cabbage, tofu, bacon and so on. then it becomes a brazier pot.

In the middle of winter, everyone sits around, lively and lively. It symbolizes that the coming year will be prosperous.

When making, it is mainly made in a main pot, and put in bacon with pork belly, cabbage, fresh tofu, frozen tofu, fried tofu, etc. It is characterized by vegetarian-based, meat and vegetarian matching, oily but not greasy.

Of course, the tofu feast is based on tofu, and no matter how good the tofu is, the key is still in the production. Fang Monan has worked hard.

Fried tofu, the tofu is made dry and yellow on both sides, without the slightest marinade, with a slight umami of chelates, but there are no chelae or anything else on the plate.

Peel the tofu on both sides, cut each piece into sixteen slices and let dry. Heat it with lard, clear the smoke before the tofu, sprinkle a pinch of salt flowers, turn over, use a teacup of sweet wine, 120 prawns. If there are no large shrimps, use 300 small shrimps. First, soak the dried shrimp for an hour, a small cup of autumn oil, and then roll again; Add a pinch of sugar and roll again. Use half an inch of shallots, 120 sections, and slowly remove from the pot.

"Huh! Nannan, this is made of Jiang Shilang tofu. Old Man Lin looked at Fang Monan's technique and said.

"I see." Fang Menan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Hmmm! You've put a lot of effort into eating. Old Man Lin nodded dotingly.

Fang Monan smiled and said nothing, now that he is cultivating, it is not a problem to make these delicacies.

"Wang Taishou Eight Treasure Tofu!" Old man Lin has a way. "Cut and crush the tender slices, add mushroom crumbs, mushroom crumbs, pine nut crumbs, melon seed crumbs, chicken crumbs, ham crumbs, and stir-fry in thick chicken juice. It is also possible to use rotten brains. Use a scoop without a chopstick. ”

"It tastes soft and smooth, and it's specially for the elderly." Old Man Lin nodded.

"Just by looking at the filling, you know it must be delicious." Chang Jiuchun smacked his tongue and said, "Especially the ingredients on the farm, there is absolutely nothing to say." ”

"Fragrant ......," Vera said with a deep breath.

"How are they called Jiang Shilang Tofu and Wang Taishou Babao Tofu?" Chang Jiuchun asked.

Old Man Lin explained their provenance in detail, "These two dishes are the ...... recorded in Yuan Mei and Yuan Zicai's "Anecdotes of Suiyuan" by Yuan Mei, a great genius of the Qing Dynasty"

After listening to the old man's explanation, "This tofu emperor has eaten." Vera asked.

"Uh-huh! Emperor Kangxi ate it. Chang Jiuchun nodded.

"I know this, at the same time as our Tsar Peter." Vera said. "Both of them are majestic and majestic monarchs, but it's a pity that ......."

"Let me tell you! At an important historical juncture, it sailed in diametrically opposite directions: Peter quickly put Russia on the road of modernization, dominating Europe and Asia, and taking pride in the world; Kangxi finally failed to overcome the feudal system, and the prosperous dynasty he founded missed the Industrial Revolution, and soon entered the glory of the sunset, from a self-satisfied Celestial Empire power to a tragic situation of backwardness and beating, and was invaded and ravaged by Western powers. In this regard, Marx could not help but let out an epic sigh: this is really a strange couplet tragedy that no poet dares to imagine. Old Man Lin said calmly.

The atmosphere is a little stagnant, the reality is cruel and harsh, but history can't change anything, but it can inspire future generations.

"Let's talk about tofu quickly! What is Dr. Fang doing? Chang Jiuchun asked.

"Spinach and tofu soup." Fang Menan said.

"I have heard this legend, saying that Qianlong toured the south, went to Chen's house in Haining, Jiangnan, ate spinach and tofu soup and appreciated its color and taste, and happily inscribed it as 'red-billed green parrot burns gold box white jade inlay'." Chang Jiuchun clapped his hands and said, "I'm right. (To be continued......)
