Chapter 340: Two side dishes
"Little brother, you don't have to brag. We all cook here, and we all cook deliciously. You've got to do something special. Dalan kindly reminded Liu Fengdao.
"No problem, you guys are busy first, let me think about it first." Liu Feng said.
It seems that the owner of the village is also a foodie. It's easy to do if you have a hobby, he has to think about it carefully, there will be a lot of fresh food in the future, and he must do something ingenious, so that the owner of the village can open his eyes, maybe everything will be done.
Da Lan didn't bother, let Liu Feng think about it carefully, she turned around and went to work.
Liu Feng carefully walked around the kitchen and the warehouse next to him to see what ingredients were easy to use. When he walked to the granary again, he saw the big stone mill, and his mind turned and he had an idea.
There are stone mills, soybeans, the most popular and cheapest dish, and tofu has become. There are many ways to make tofu, and all of them are delicious. No one in the here and now has ever seen anything like this, and it's guaranteed to feast their mouths.
The idea is decided, if you order tofu, either brine or gypsum. The so-called brine, generally using salt brine, is the crystallization of the remaining mother liquor after evaporation and cooling after the salt is made from seawater or salt lake water. For a moment, there really isn't necessarily such a thing here. However, in the mountainous area, it is not difficult to find some gypsum.
Just do it, Liu Feng called Sister Lan and said that she wanted to make a delicacy that they had never seen before.
"Little brother, don't fool me, I have seen the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, running underground, flying in the Tianshan Mountains, and swimming in the water. I don't care if you don't care, if you offend the owner of the village, you will feel better. Dalan didn't forget to warn Liu Feng.
"Sister Lan, don't worry, this thing is absolutely delicious, and it is very, very novel, I guarantee that you will have an appetite when you see it." Liu Feng patted his chest and promised.
Mo Li, who was washing dishes next to him, and several chef helpers were attracted by Liu Feng's words, and they surrounded Liu Feng and asked questions.
"Little brother, what materials are you going to use?"
"Precious materials have to be prepared in advance."
"That's right, there's nothing you want in this mountain, just tell us what you need to buy, and we'll arrange it."
Obviously, everyone is looking forward to Liu Feng's new dish. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and was ready to help. It's not easy to be a chef in a cottage, just a few dishes over and over again, and after a long time, the brothers in the cottage complained, and the owner and leader of the cottage were even more unhappy. With this opportunity, everyone is very excited to open their eyes and curry favor with the cottage by the way.
"It only needs to be the same, presumably there is one in this mountain." Liu Feng replied.
"What is needed, just say." Dalan supports Liu Feng at all costs.
"Plaster." Liu Feng replied.
"This..., little brother, you still say that you didn't cheat me, can you eat gypsum? Isn't that thing for painting walls? Dalan suddenly deflated. Others waved their hands in disdain.
"And, I thought there was a trick, it turned out to be to coax everyone to eat plaster?"
"yes, isn't that death?"
"Alas, stay away from him, the owner of the village is angry and wants to clean him up, but don't bother us."
"Big brother, if you're not sure, let's wash the vegetables and wash the dishes together, you still watch from the sidelines, I'll brush it for you." Mo Li was very righteous, he admired Liu Feng's good kung fu, and pulled Liu Feng to persuade him.
"Sister Lan, you just have to find it. This plaster is not for eating, it is just a tool, you can rest assured that it will not harm you. But if there is any fault, I will bear it alone, and I will never affect everyone. Liu Feng repeatedly assured.
Dalan was skeptical, but she felt that no matter what Liu Feng did, she would not cause any trouble when he tried it well, so she agreed.
Liu Feng took the beans and soaked them in water, then found a large piece of cloth and asked Mo Li to help wash them clean and set aside. It was at this time that the plaster sent by Dalan was returned. The plaster brought is whole, these are raw plaster, and they cannot be used directly.
There was ready-made firewood in the kitchen, and Liu Feng instructed Mo Li to build a fire. The gypsum block is then clamped with tongs and fired repeatedly over the fire. About twenty minutes later, I knocked it open and looked at it, and my heart had already changed color. Liu Feng knew that this raw gypsum had become mature gypsum.
Take a hammer and knock the plaster into powder for later use.
After the busy work was over, the beans were almost soaked, and Liu Feng asked Morila to grind the beans into soy milk. However, what is in front of you cannot be used directly, and there is okara in it. The cloth prepared before can be used to filter out the pure soy milk, and the bean dregs left on the cloth are thrown away directly.
Put the soy milk in a large pot and boil. At the same time, Liu Feng found warm water and made gypsum powder into gypsum water.
When I was in chemistry class in middle school, my teacher taught me how to make tofu. It is not okay for the temperature of soy milk to be too high, about 90 degrees is the most suitable, and after boiling, it will be left for three or five minutes, and it will be about the same. Add gypsum water to the cooked soy milk, and stir while adding, this is the order tofu.
Seeing this scene, the people around him felt very curious. Even the two guards sent to guard Liu Feng and Mo Li also came up to watch the excitement.
When they saw that the soybean milk, which was originally like water, gradually solidified, began to appear bean curd, and there were bursts of bean fragrance, everyone sighed at Liu Feng's magic while greedily snorting. It turns out that the beans that I eat every day can have such a taste, which is really wonderful.
Look at the white bean curd again, a little more delicate than the girl's skin, the so-called blowing bomb can be broken, that's what you're talking about, right? I really want to take a bite when I look at it.
Liu Feng didn't care about appreciating these, he used a clean cloth to cover it in a square wooden box, then poured in the bean curd, and then picked it up with a cloth, and pressed something on it to facilitate the tofu to form. That's it, just wait.
After the tofu cooled, Liu Feng lifted the cloth, a white and tender box, patted it with his hand, and trembled, it looked really tender.
Cut a large piece, change the knife slightly, add shallots, oil, salt, the simplest and most primitive meal, shallots mixed with tofu become, this is the first dish.
In the second course, Liu Feng found peppercorns and chili peppers and burned a mapo tofu. This dish is simple to make and slightly heavier in flavor, but it is very tasty and you will never get tired of eating it.
The two dishes were prepared in less than ten minutes, and it was the meal for dinner, and the kitchen served the two dishes along with the other dishes, and the task was done.
"Little brother, your two dishes look quite good, I also tasted them just now, they are delicious, very tender, and they must be fine." Dalan said to Liu Feng with confidence.
"Sister Lan, let's try it too, I've been watching it for a day, and my saliva is going to run dry!" Maury said.
"yes, I'd like to try it too. I've never seen anything so tender. A helper said.
