13, Tofu (ask for collection)
The white suspended matter is poured into a wide gauze, soaked in cold water and cooled, the water is squeezed out, and then there is a rush of busyness, and finally it is made into tofu. Since there is no coagulant, this piece of tofu is somewhat loose, but the texture is delicate and smooth, like a work of art.
Lu Daniu and Ah Yuan looked at the tofu in front of them with wide eyes, and felt that this thing was really beautiful, white and tender, and they knew that it was delicious at a glance.
"Mr. Bai, what kind of artifact is this? It's so good-looking? Lu Daniu asked, swallowing his saliva.
"This is called tofu, it's not a divine thing, Liu An, the grandson of Emperor Gaozu, made this tofu when he was alchemy, and the Central Plains has long had it, but it didn't spread for some reason." Bai Ziyun was afraid that the two would make a fuss, so he stopped fooling the two.
Lu Daniu and Ah Yuan gasped, and said that it was not a divine object, who was the king of Huainan, it was an immortal hundreds of years ago.
According to legend, Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, is good at the art of the gods and yellow, and there are many guests, among which Su Fei, Li Shang, Zuo Wu, Cause, Lei Quilt, Wu Quilt, Mao Zhou, and Jin Chang are eight talents, and they are called "Eight Princes". Later, Liu An was accused of rebellion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zong Zheng to arrest and solve, Liu An swallowed the pill and ascended to heaven hand in hand with the eight princes, and the rest of the medicine chicken and dog pecked and ate also ascended to heaven, and the mountain was named after the eight princes, and the myth of "one person attained the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven" has been widely spread in the Eastern Han Dynasty now, and it can be said that women and children know it.
Lu Daniu and Ah Yuan can be said to have grown up listening to this story, and they were so excited in their hearts, no wonder the tofu didn't spread, it turned out that they were brought to the fairy world by King Huainan, and now they let Mr. Bai bring him from the fairy world to mortal dust, Mr. Bai is really a great meritorious, a great good immortal.
Both of them looked at the tender white tofu with pilgrimage eyes.
Of course, the myth of "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven" is just a folk rumor, in fact, at that time, Liu An committed suicide because he was accused of treason, and all of the eight princes were killed except for Lei who was exempted because of informing.
Bai Ziyun didn't know what these two slaves thought, and it was very strange, what were these two guys excited about, wasn't it tofu.
After tossing and turning for such a long time, the cooks also began to prepare lunch. Bai Ziyun instructed the cook to cook tofu.
There are many ways to make tofu, Bai Ziyun's favorite is spicy tofu, but unfortunately the chili pepper seems to be on another continent now, and the original history required the Ming Dynasty to enter China.
However, spicy things have existed in China since ancient times, that is, mustard, which has been used since the Zhou Dynasty, but they are all used as medicinal materials, and this kind of thing is usually stored there.
Due to the lack of seasoning, the cooking is also home-style stir-fried tofu and fish soup tofu, even so, the taste is still very good, especially the fish soup tofu, which is already delicious in this era. Bai Ziyun was very excited, and finally made a dish that satisfied him. So a decision was made immediately.
"I'm going to have this dish at every meal in the future, you know?"
"Yes."
Bai Ziyun came to the hall proudly, where the Lu family was already gathered around the table, and when he saw Bai Ziyun coming, Lu Min smiled and said: "Ziyun, the gentleman is far away from cooking, how can you cook in person and do this cheap business." ”
His son Lu Zhi slapped him on the head melon, and reprimanded: "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, the gentleman can't bear to kill and is far away from the kitchen, the so-called 'out of sight is pure' is the truth, you kid don't ask for much understanding when you read, after eating, read Mencius ten times." ”
"Yes."
Lu Min was very reluctant in his heart, I was just joking, how could I not know the real meaning of "gentleman is far away from cooking".
Bai Ziyun saw that Lu Min was deflated, and smiled in his heart, and said with a smile: "I have been bothering your mansion for many days, and I am uneasy, so today I made a dish of Xiandao food, please taste it." ”
"Ziyun is polite, it is my family's honor that a fairy like you can come to my house, you can't be so polite in the future." Ma Shi immediately said politely, his eyes lit up again, and his eyes showed expectation, "What did Ziyun do?" ”
Lu Zhi was a little embarrassed, let the guests cook, and let the family want to serve the food like a slave, which is not etiquette, and everyone like him values this very much.
At this time, the house slave brought the food up, Bai Ziyun pointed to the tofu and said with a smile: "This is the dish, the name tofu, the workmanship is very simple, use soybeans and water to grind into soybean milk, and then cook and add vinegar, it can be made, the taste is mellow and delicate, and regular food can replenish the qi, clear heat and moisten dryness, quench thirst, and clean the stomach." It is more suitable for people with hot constitution, bad breath and thirst, unclear stomach, and recuperation after fever. It has a good conditioning effect on young children, the sick and the elderly. ”
Lu Zhi's family heard that there were so many benefits, and their eyes suddenly lit up, but looking at the crystal jade tofu and smelling the mellow fragrance, they actually felt like they didn't dare to swallow, but Lu Min soon couldn't wait to eat it, and praised loudly: "It's delicious, it's really delicious in the world, no, it's a delicacy in the fairy world." ”
Seeing that Lu Min ate it, Lu Zhi and Ma Shi also hurriedly ate it, and suddenly their eyes brightened and they were amazed, and Ma Shi said in a loud voice: "The fairy food is really extraordinary, and it is not comparable to mortals such as me." ”
Bai Ziyun smiled and said: "Mrs. Lu, this is not unique to our Immortal Island, this tofu Huainan King Liu An has already been made, but for some reason, it has not spread." ”
"It turned out that it was eaten by a god like King Huainan, Ziyun can let the old body have this blessing and eat the things of the immortal family, I really don't know how to be grateful." Ma Shi said, and he choked up a little.
Seeing that his mother was fooled like this by him, Lu Min glared at Bai Ziyun dissatisfied, Bai Ziyun was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Lu, it is not difficult to make zuò from this tofu, now that the servants of the Lu Mansion have learned, Mrs. can eat it often in the future, and you can be beautiful if you eat too much." ”
Ma Shi was even more happy, and in a good mood, he said to a middle-aged woman standing beside him: "Huanniang, give this food to those two girls." ”
"Yes." The woman hurriedly answered and took the order.
Lu Zhi also has two daughters, both of whom are concubines, and they usually can't come to the main hall to eat, they all eat in their own rooms, and they are said to be very beautiful, Bai Ziyun has always wanted to see them, but those two girls seem to be nerds, and they often stay at home to read books and don't go out much.
"Ziyun, let's sit down and dine here." Lu Zhi said with a smile, but he thought in his heart that this kid talked about the King of Huainan, does it have anything to do with the King of Huainan, otherwise how could there be such a lost thing as tofu.
"Okay." Bai Ziyun smiled and sat down, he usually eats in the guest room, if he eats with Lu Zhi, it is a formal place, and Lu Zhi will definitely be grandly entertained.
