Chapter 00037 Juice and Stinky Tofu

Dinner was very simple, only a few simple side dishes, Zhao Shuo held the rice, but he enjoyed eating it extraordinarily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In stark contrast to Zhao Shuo, there are four subordinates with a hooded face. They still haven't figured out what Zhao Shuo wants to do with the rancid tofu.

"Your Highness, that rancid tofu ...... What's the use? Seeing Zhao Shuo finish dinner, Fluttershy walks over and asks in a whisper.

Looking at Fluttershy, who looked puzzled, and then at the other three puzzled faces, Zhao Shuo pointed to the table in front of him and chuckled. "I'll clean this up first, and I'll tell you about it in a moment."

As soon as they heard Zhao Shuo's words, the four of them immediately cleaned up the table as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

After everything was done, the four of them stood aside respectfully, waiting for Zhao Shuo to explain.

"Shopkeeper Lee." Zhao Shuo opened his mouth and said.

Shopkeeper Li took a step forward and bowed back. "The villain is here."

Yan Wu, Grandpa Feng, and Fluttershy were even more dizzy, and they were about to talk about rancid tofu, but why did they call the shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li was worried, he really couldn't think of what connection he could have with this rancid tofu. Except, of course, that he bought it back.

"Shopkeeper Li, since you can make fortune wine, then wine must not be a problem." Zhao Shuo looked at Shopkeeper Li with a smile on his face.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions and brought back grapes, and in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, farmers in the Central Plains knew that grapes could make wine.

Zhao Shuo asked this question mainly to confirm whether Shopkeeper Li would make wine. This is a very critical question for him.

Shopkeeper Li was completely stupid, and nodded mechanically. "Your Highness, the villain can make wine, but it's just ......"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Li was full of doubts, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Shuo had a stronger smile on his face. "Just what?"

"Your Highness, forgive the villain." Shopkeeper Li took a deep breath before continuing. "Wine is widely spread among the people, if His Royal Highness wants to rely on this to open up the current situation, the villain thinks, feels ......" The voice of the shopkeeper Li is much lower. I think it's unrealistic. ”

"Who said I let you make wine?" Zhao Shuo was still smiling.

"That?"

Shopkeeper Li was completely stunned, his mind was a mess, and he could only look at Zhao Shuo with a puzzled face, and he couldn't figure out what Zhao Shuo was going to say.

"Your Highness, is this wine made related to that rancid tofu?" Fluttershy has a fast mouth and can't hold anything on her mind. Zhao Shuo said that he would tell them why they wanted to keep the rancid tofu, but now he asked if Shopkeeper Li would make wine, and the little girl felt that the two must be connected, and her brain opened.

Fluttershy's words made Yan Wu, Grandpa Feng, and Shopkeeper Li find their way, and they couldn't agree with it.

The three of them looked at Zhao Shuo with hope, but immediately realized the true meaning of the eight words 'the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment'.

Zhao Shuo shook his head. "These two things have nothing to do with each other, if they are tied together, that is, they will all become the trump cards of Zhaocai Restaurant's sales in the future."

After finishing speaking, looking at the four subordinates who had been completely stunned, Zhao Shuo decided not to play with them anymore.

"Shopkeeper Li, you should know the process of making wine."

Shopkeeper Li nodded. "To make wine, you first choose the fresh grapes, then pick out the bad ones, then break the selected grapes, remove the stems and skins, and treat the resulting pulp to get the green juice. This is followed by fermentation, which is then poured into barrels, then stored, filtered ......"

After confirming that Shopkeeper Li would make wine, Zhao Shuo raised his hand to interrupt Shopkeeper Li, who was going to continue.

"Shopkeeper Li, that's enough." The corners of Zhao Shuo's mouth rose and smiled mysteriously. "What would you think if we only sold the green juice we could get?"

"Selling green juice?" Shopkeeper Li fell into deep thought. "It's really hard to say, the main thing is that no one has thought about it."

"You can start with some of them, not only grapes, but apples, bananas, and citrus." Zhao Shuo said, casting a hint of encouragement at Shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li bowed. "Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Shuo nodded, and then said. "Didn't you always want to know what that rancid tofu was for?"

The four of them nodded their heads.

Zhao Shuo thought for a moment and asked. "Do you know stinky tofu?"

Actually, this is a question that does not need to be asked, because in the Song Dynasty, it was impossible for anyone to know about stinky tofu. But Zhao Shuo had to ask again.

The four of them shook their heads without surprise, and Yan Wu stomped his feet gently. She was responsible for taking care of Zhao Shuo's diet, but she didn't know what Zhao Shuo knew to eat, which made her very hurt.

Zhao Shuo saw the performance of the four of them, and when he saw Yan Wu's appearance, he felt a little sorry for this loyal maid.

"Yan Wu, you don't have to be like this, this stinky tofu is also something I saw by chance in an ancient book. Whether you can make it or not depends on you. ”

Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Yan Wu suddenly smiled. "Your Highness, you didn't lie to the slaves, did you?"

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly, and then adapted the story of the origin of stinky tofu a little and told it. "Once upon a time, there was a tofu merchant who was greedy for money. One day, when the tofu was unsalable, he was worried that the tofu would go bad and he would lose all his money, so he cut the tofu into small pieces, mixed them with spices and salt, and as for the altar, he thought that this would also make bean curd. Who knew that after a few days, when the jar was opened, the bean curd was not made, but the stinky tofu was made that deserved its name. ”

"Stinky tofu deserved." Yan Wu frowned. "Is it really edible to eat something that stinks?"

"Well, it's up to you." Zhao Shuo looked at Yan Wu. "It is said that this thing smells bad and tastes good."

"Your Highness, did that merchant use rancid tofu too?" Yan Wu asked softly.

The unsalable tofu, whether it is rancid or not, how can this Zhao Shuo know, and this is just the origin story of stinky tofu, how did he know how this stinky tofu was made in history.

"I also remembered this story when I saw the rancid tofu." Zhao Shuo said. "Rancid tofu, we will practice, tomorrow let that Hong San send some good tofu, as for which one is delicious, it's up to you."

When Yan Wu heard it, she felt that what Zhao Shuo said was also very reasonable, after all, if she couldn't make it, these tofu would be completely ruined.

"Then the slave will give it a try in a while and see if she can make it."

Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "No hurry, no hurry." Then he calculated the time and said to Shopkeeper Li and Yan Wu. "I'll give you half a month, I hope you can develop all kinds of juices and stinky tofu, and whether Zhaocai Restaurant can make a comeback depends on you."

Shopkeeper Li and Yan Wu knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the villain will do his best to develop more kinds of juices."

"Your Highness, the slave will never disgrace you, and will definitely develop that stinky tofu."
