Chapter 55 Soy Products
"This is tofu skin, which is made by the way when making soy milk."
After stir-frying the meat in the tofu skin with chopsticks, Li Yuanjia greeted Fang Jun and Cheng Chuliang, who were eating together, very warmly: "Try it, the taste is completely different from tofu...... After tasting the tofu skin, try this yuba soup again...... By the way, yuba is also made with soy milk. ”
When he said this, Li Yuanjia looked at Cheng Chuliang and asked with a smile: "Cheng Erlang shouldn't have drunk tofu brain yet, right?" That thing is also made with soy milk, and in the morning it is served with fritters and a little meat stew, which is the most delicious. ”
As a staunch supporter of salty tofu brain, Li Yuanjia naturally will not show Cheng Chu's Amway sweetened sweet tofu brain.
And let's be honest, the sugar ...... of these years
Tsk, add it to the snow-white tofu brain, it is properly colored, and the impurities in it are immediately visible, anyway, Li Yuanjia can't eat it.
Just when Cheng Erlang looked confused, Fang Erlang hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I have eaten tofu brain, it is extremely delicious!" However, I still prefer meat buns to fried dough sticks, especially the small buns that take one bite at a time! ”
"Hehe......"
Looking at the two enthusiastic introducers, one on the left and one on the right, the corners of Cheng Jiaerlang's mouth twitched, and he could only nod with a dry smile.
Tofu brain?
Cheng Chuliang really hadn't eaten that thing, and naturally he couldn't understand what the so-called "delicious" meant. But one thing he was sure of was that if it tasted like the plate of fried pork and yuba soup on the table now, he would definitely not have any interest!
It's bland and tasteless, and the taste is the same as chewing dough, what's so delicious?
However, eating the food of King Han, even if Cheng Chuliang is not sensible, he can't say that it is not delicious, he must say with a smile: "It tastes good, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you must taste the tofu brain ...... that the king said."
After all, he is still young, looking at his expression, where does Li Yuanjia not know what he is thinking at this time?
He sighed secretly and gave up the idea of selling these soy products to Cheng Chuliang.
Forget it, after all, not everyone loves to eat these things.
Especially seeing that Cheng Chuliang's chopsticks are always inseparable from red stewed mutton, chicken cutlets and other meats, Li Yuanjia knows that this kid is a pure carnivore, and the taste is still very strong, so it is understandable that he is not interested in soy products.
It's just a pity that these good things are gone, and the kid is blessed.
In fact, when he just crossed over, Li Yuanjia didn't think about making any soy products, after all, the legend says that Liu An, the king of Huainan, invented tofu and tofu brain, which was a matter of the Han Dynasty, where was his turn to be a Tang Dynasty traveler to exert his strength?
However, not long after being reborn, Li Yuanjia found that the reality was completely different from what he thought!
Tofu does have such a thing, but it's really not as delicious as what he ate in his previous life, and he always feels an inexplicable strange taste. And tofu brain, tofu skin, yuba or something, but there are really no more!
The variety is monotonous, and the taste is average.
So what I didn't say, Li Yuanjia naturally asked Yu Niang and them to persistently improve and trial production, and finally made these things little by little.
The purpose of "research and development" of these soy products is not only to satisfy Li Yuanjia's appetite, but more importantly, because of the nutritional elements of soy products......
That's right, it's protein.
In ancient China, even in the Song Dynasty, where economic conditions were at its best, protein deficiency was a very serious phenomenon.
No modern person fails to understand the importance of protein.
It's just that for most Chinese people in the 21st century, there is basically no shortage of this thing, but in ancient China, most people were "herbivore" animals, especially those ordinary people with poor economic conditions, it is difficult to eat one or two meals of meat a year, where does the protein come from?
Fortunately, the ancestors used their ingenuity to invent such a thing as tofu.
There are bean skin, bean curd, tempeh, soy sauce, bean tendon, etc., these soy products are not only rich in protein, but also after processing, not only the protein content is not reduced, but even improves the digestion and absorption rate......
It can be said that in the history of China, the importance of tofu is far beyond that of other foods.
Therefore, after discovering that although there was tofu in the Zhenguan period, the taste was extremely poor, and bean skin, yuba and other soy products were not invented, Li Yuanjia naturally spent a lot of thought. Fortunately, although he doesn't know much about it, he has also watched documentaries such as "A Bite of China", and after mentioning it roughly, there are naturally Yu Niang and others who have been adults for months to test the best practices.
As long as they are rewarded once or twice, they can always be enthusiastic.
You know, in ancient times, few people would specialize in researching anything, things like tofu and tofu skin often appeared by chance, and there is no such thing as Li Yuanjia that allows people to try to make it!
So in a few years, he was a little surprised by the rich results.
And now Li Yuanjia wants to promote the practice of these soy products, so that they can become the food of ordinary people as soon as possible. Because these things are not only rich in protein, they can improve the malnutrition of most civilians, but they can also be used as dishes, which can greatly enrich the tables of ordinary people......
Li Yuanjia's good intentions, the two Erlang who were born in a wealthy family naturally can't know, and even if they do, I'm afraid they can't understand it.
However, this did not hinder Han Wang's thoughts, especially after seeing that Cheng Chuliang didn't seem to like soy products very much, he strengthened his determination: "These damn ruling class, they usually don't lack meat or eggs, they only care about whether they are delicious or not, but ordinary people don't have this condition, they have to eat more soy products......"
Just when Li Yuanjia was secretly worried about the country and the people, Han Lucheng, the new housekeeper of the Han Palace, appeared behind him unconsciously.
Sensing the appearance of this henchman, Li Yuanjia frowned slightly, and asked quietly: "What's wrong?" Something? ”
When he was eating, Han Lucheng usually wouldn't come over to disturb him, unless there was something particularly important, or a big man like the emperor beckoned.
Quietly stepping forward, Han Lucheng held a post in both hands and presented it, and said in a low voice at the same time: "King, King Wei sent someone to send a post. ”
"King Wei? Li Tai? ”
After hearing this name, Li Yuanjia was obviously stunned, and reached out to take the post.
opened the post and looked at the content inside, and he couldn't help but be happy: "This news is well-informed enough!" I just entered the palace to report the news of the success of the overturning workshop, and the post of my eldest nephew was sent over......"
