Chapter 515: Stinky Tofu

As for the dishes, such as tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers, sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, and corn, which are very common nowadays. Guess how much Nan Chu can eat? The answer is zero, none of which were available at the time. When I was in Nanchu, there were more points, such as a bunch of foods that started with Hu characters, such as carrots, spinach, lettuce and anything.

As for the common ones, they are sunflower (now winter amaranth), leeks, shallots (now scallion), rue (rape), reed (now radish), woad (relatively small cabbage), green onions, ginger and garlic. As for the method, it is still steaming, roasting and frying (the frying here is dry frying or drying up the water, not oil) seasoning or something, salt, vinegar, sauce are very common, and there is also a satio (which can be understood as sugar).

When Supreme Treasure had not yet brought the People's Liberation Army to liberate Huizhou, the people here lived a miserable life, like the people in other parts of Southern Chu, with two meals a day, and generally no meat to eat. At that time, staple foods such as millet rice and wheat rice were used.

Now that we've learned about the staple foods, let's take a look at meat. The first thing that made Supreme Treasure think of this was meat soup, Xiang Yu once threatened Liu Bang and said, I killed your father to make soup, believe it or not? Liu Bang said that he had to talk about credit, if you kill and make soup, you will definitely share a bowl with me.

Thinking about the fact that Liu Bang is honestly doing chores under his own hands, and Xiang Yu is high up in the upper and narrow heavens to order the princes, it is really a pity for Liu Bang!

In addition to the meat soup, Supreme Treasure also found that the dried meat in their mouths was hanging on the street or at the door of every house. In fact, it is bacon, which is also a relatively common way to eat, no way, there is no refrigerator, and it cannot be killed every day, and it is normal to make bacon.

In fact, after seeing so much meat, the people in other parts of Nanchu still eat vegetables every day. In Huizhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Supreme Treasure, everyone is now living a life of food and clothing. The benefit of this asset averaging is that it rationalizes the resources that would otherwise divide the gap.

However, the people in other parts of Southern Chu are still living in dire straits, just like the people in Wuyue, which is adjacent to Huizhou, all of them tried their best to smuggle into Huizhou after knowing the current situation of the people in Huizhou. But once they were caught by Xiang Yu's people, the end was very miserable. Therefore, the people of Huizhou sighed when they found out, but fortunately they were lucky and now live under the leadership of the People's Liberation Army.

Like those who can't eat meat, the most common is salt vegetables. There is such a description in the Book of Jin "Liu is cloth when I pass me, I can't send it out, I can't eat salted vegetables...... Generally speaking, it is believed that the salted vegetables here are salted vegetables. It's really a bit of a Korean kimchi. When Koreans eat, it is a variety of kimchi miso soup, and the people of Nanchu are also, in addition to salt vegetables, there is also miso soup. Sauce and soy sauce were very common seasonings at that time, and sometimes they were even directly used as side dishes, using sauce to make soups and dishes. "Later Han Shu Hu Guangchuan" Li Xian noted Xie Cheng "Later Han Shu", often eating detached corn rice and pickles. So ordinary people, millet rice is pickled, or boiled some vegetable soup, add a miso soup, eat two meals and a day will pass, it really feels desolate when you think about it.

Supreme Bao and Lu Xiaoyu ate some meat soup and pickles, and felt that although the taste was simple, compared to the dishes made by modern superb techniques, these things were still tasteless. Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu continued to move forward in search of food.

This was a strange smell that drifted into the noses of the two, Lu Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Big brother, do you smell it?" What a smell! ”

At this time, the Supreme Treasure said at the same time: "What a fragrant taste! ”

"How could it be! It's obviously a very smelly smell, big brother, how can you say it's a fragrance? Lu Xiaoyu pinched his nose and showed a disgusted expression.

"No, I think it's a tangy aroma! If I'm not mistaken, this is the stinky tofu that will become famous in China and abroad. I didn't expect that there was already stinky tofu at this time, which is incredible! It stands to reason that this should have been invented by later generations. Let's go, let's see! The Supreme Treasure looked for the fragrance, and Lu Xiaoyu had to pinch his nose and follow behind.

It turned out that the source of this fragrance was in a small shop at the end of the market, and the Supreme Treasure walked in to take a look, only to see that although the shop was small, the sparrows were small and clean. In the open kitchen, I saw a beautiful woman stirring something in the oil pot with chopsticks. Seeing Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu coming up, she greeted warmly and said, "The guest officer can sit casually, do you want to taste this stinky tofu that has just been fried, don't look at it, it smells stinky but it tastes delicious." ”

The Supreme Treasure saw that the square ones in the big oil pot were stinky tofu, and then looked at the self-created tofu food written on the signboard of the proprietress, and everyone was welcome to taste. There was also a whole piece of uncut white tofu next to the boiler, and it seemed that the woman was selling not only stinky tofu, but also ordinary tofu.

This tofu was actually invented by the woman in front of her, which made the Supreme Treasure quite surprised, which is a little different from the grandson of Liu Bang, who invented tofu known in history!

Supreme Treasure wanted to find out, "Boss, I've never seen this thing called tofu before, I don't know if you invented it?" ”

"I'm sorry, this is a master who doesn't want to be named to teach me to make tofu, it's inconvenient for me to tell you his name, I hope you forgive me. If you are willing to cook stinky tofu or other tofu dishes from our house, I can cook them for you. The woman said apologetically.

"If that's the case, then I won't ask. The proprietress will give me a ......" Supreme Treasure looked at the disgusted Lu Xiaoyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you want to have a taste too?" ”

"No, I really can't get used to this smell, if it weren't for the eldest brother, I wouldn't have come, I really can't stand it." Lu Xiaoyu pinched his nose and said.

The woman was not angry because of Lu Xiaoyu's dislike, and said with a pleasant face: "If this guest officer can't get used to eating this stinky tofu, there is also a sauce tofu in our store that is also very delicious, and it doesn't stink at all, it tastes fragrant and smells even more fragrant, do you want to have one?" ”

I didn't expect this woman to make sauce tofu, it's really not simple, today the Supreme Treasure wants to see how she makes this sauce tofu.

"Okay, boss, you can bring us a stinky tofu and a plate of tofu with sauce, I'm sorry for you." Supreme Treasure said.

"Okay, two guest officers, please wait a moment."

"Big brother, wouldn't this stuffed tofu also stink, didn't you listen to her? Toes toes, toes, don't smell like toes? Lu Xiaoyu said embarrassedly.
