Chapter 466: Smelling and Eating Deliciously
"Uncle, there are a total of four catties of dried tofu here, the maids have counted it, there are more than fifty pieces in total, all of them are made according to your instructions, can you take a look?"
Another day passed, and Qin'er and the others got several catties of tofu from outside. These tofus were actually ordered by Qin Yong to buy them a few days earlier. However, it was specially customized, because Qin Yong had requirements for the size and softness of the tofu, so they even directly contracted a tofu merchant's workshop and slowly debugged it, and the one that was currently sent to Qin Yong was the finished product.
"Oh, I'll see."
Qin Yong didn't say anything. I heard that Qin'er said that the tofu was ready, so I came up to see it, and the result was just as he wanted, the size, softness and hardness were just right, so he nodded and said, "Well, okay." Just according to this specification, let them send us a hundred catties a day from tomorrow. ”
"What? A hundred pounds? Keke, uncle, what do you want so much dried tofu for? We can't finish eating in the house, and besides, the servants don't like to eat tofu. ”
Hearing that Qin Yong actually said that he ordered a hundred catties of dried tofu every day, Qin'er and the others were all shocked, so they couldn't help but ask Qin Yongdao.
It's just that when Qin Yong heard their words, he was so funny, where did he buy this hundred catties of dried tofu for them to eat? With so much dried tofu, even if all the servants in their house are allowed to eat it with their bellies open, it is estimated that they can eat dozens of catties a day, and if they eat a hundred catties, they really can't digest it.
In addition, he didn't agree with what Qin'er said that they didn't like to eat tofu. Because, the tofu he is going to make now is not ordinary tofu, but a very famous street food in the society of later generations, that is, "stinky tofu". As soon as this "stinky tofu" is made, let alone low-status little girls like Qin'er and them, even if it is a big show family like Liu Luoyao and Lin Daier, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold it.
"Uncle, uncle, I still want, I want!"
"Uncle, uncle, maid still want to eat. By the way, Sister Qin'er, you have eaten five pieces, and I have only eaten three pieces, so it should be my turn first. ”
"That doesn't work, that doesn't work. Who told me to help my uncle more just now? Moreover, Miss also said just now that she wants to reward me with one piece, so I have two more pieces than you, which is normal! ”
Qin'er and the others originally thought that the things made with that kind of stinky water would not be eaten by a few of them even if they were killed. As a result, when it really came time to eat, they almost started fighting. There's no way, it's really because of the so-called "stinky tofu" made by Qin Yong, it's really delicious.
It turned out that after Qin Yong got the dried tofu, he quickly wrapped the dried tofu in a white cloth, and then stuffed it into a jar filled with stinky water. This move also caused the little girls of Qinqi, calligraphy and painting to exclaim in surprise at that time, and their eyes widened and they looked at their aunts incredulously.
Because, they almost thought that their aunt was crazy. Otherwise, how could he stuff all the dried tofu that he had worked so hard to make into the stinky water? If you stuff it like this, can you still eat dried tofu? Didn't you want them to eat those stinky dried tofu?
However, what happened next made Qin'er and the others even more shocked, because Qin Yong was after throwing the four catties of dried tofu into the stinky water, and then he ordered Qin'er and them to bring a pot of fine wine, this pot of fine wine was nothing else, it was the distilled liquor he had steamed in Yangzhou City before.
So, Qin'er and the others had nothing to say at that time. Compared with the valuable distilled liquor, the four catties of dried tofu just now are really nothing.
However, at the same time, they were basically sure that their aunt should not be crazy, and he should not have any intention of "abusing them", otherwise, there would be no need for him to pour the pot of valuable distilled spirits into it. However, what Qin Yong was going to do now, they still couldn't think of it for a while.
This situation lasted for several days, and the doubts in their hearts were alleviated, because after Qin Yong poured the four catties of dried tofu and a pot of distilled liquor into it, he immediately sealed the jar of stinky water, and then the next day, the same disposal method treated the other hundred catties of tofu, but the amount of stinky water and distilled liquor to be used in this was much more. Then it wasn't until a few days later that Qin Yong took out the dried tofu that had been sealed on the first day, and as a result, the four catties of dried tofu were the sour smell when they came out of the jar, which forced Qin'er and them to retreat several steps in a row.
"Well, don't be afraid of the stinker. Hurry up and help, set up the pot first, then put the oil in it, and bring it to a boil. ”
Qin Yong actually felt that this smell was extremely unpleasant at that time, but he felt happy in his heart. Because, this means that the "stinky tofu" he is about to make must be of good quality. Because, in the snack world of later generations, there is usually such a saying, stinky tofu is smelly and fragrant, and the more stinky it is, the more fragrant it is. This also proves from another point of view that Qin'er and the others went to collect the stinky water, and the quality is quite high.
Actually, this is also very natural, because, those rural people, basically did not think that someone would come to collect stinky water, so they generally did not specifically make zuò, and at the same time, there was no large-scale reservation, what was retained was basically some residual juice under the salty amaranth jar, this residual sweat, usually soaked for a long time, so, the concentration is naturally higher. However, I am afraid that such things will be rare in the future. Because, since Qin'er and her sisters went to the city to buy a lot of stinky water, the value of this stinky water has been widely spread, so it is estimated that these countrymen will definitely retain this stinky water when they pickle amaranth again in the future. In this way, the concentration is naturally not as high as the original, but it is still a good quality.
"Okay, but, uncle, what are you burning oil for?"
"Yes, yes! Uncle, otherwise, let's throw away those tofu first. ”
Hearing that Qin Yong just ordered himself to set up a pot to boil oil, Qin'er and the other little girls didn't have the slightest psychological pressure, so they quickly started to do it, but while doing it, they still didn't forget to tell Qin Yong to throw away those dried tofu quickly, because after these dried tofu were taken out, it was too smelly.
It's just that when Qin Yong heard their words, he was directly speechless. Throw away? So how can it be? You know, he's been so busy for a few days, isn't it just these stinky tofu? If he throws it away, where can he find it?
"You can't throw it away, this thing, I'll have to eat it later."
"Huh? Food? Auntie, I don't eat it. ”
"I don't eat either."
Hearing this, Qin'er and the others were all taken aback, do they really want to eat? But how can that be? These dried tofu have been soaked in stinky water, and if you take a bite, you will have to vomit out the bile.
That's right, if it hasn't been treated in a special way, then this stinky tofu can really kill people when you eat it. However, once it is dealt with in a certain way, the situation is completely different. So, Qin Yong didn't bother to explain to a few of them, but just ordered two of them to invite Liu Luoyao and Lin Dai'er respectively, and the other two continued to stay here to help him light the fire and do it.
"Poof!"
"Official, what are you doing here?"
When Liu Luoyao and Lin Daier came to Qin Yong's place, they saw that Qin Yong had already changed into clothes. On his head, he was wrapped in a pure white white cloth towel, and a coarse cloth was wrapped in front of him, and then he was standing in front of the oil pot, holding a pair of long chopsticks in one hand and a long spoon in the other. It looked like a cook, and at the same time it felt weird, so Liu Luoyao, who had never seen him dressed like this, chuckled out loud at that time.
"Me? Fried tofu! Well, don't be in a hurry, just sit and wait, and you'll be fine right away. ”
Qin Yong said. In fact, the piece of coarse cloth on his waist was the standard equipment of ordinary cooks in this era, but the chef's hat on his head was Qin Yong's temporary intention. Because, when he was waiting for Liu Luoyao and them just now, it was too boring, and it was also because the oil in the pot had not been completely boiled, so he just took the time, but he didn't expect that this move would form a big trend later, that is, in the future, all the small merchants and vendors who fried "stinky tofu" to sell would basically wear such a chef's hat.
"Oh. All right. Official, be careful, don't burn yourself. ”
When Liu Luoyao heard this, she said funny, and then sat down next to Lin Dai'er.
In fact, when they came just now, they had already been introduced by Qin'er and their two little girls, that is, their husbands, and they didn't know what they were doing with those dried tofu soaked in stinky water at the moment. However, based on their absolute trust in Qin Yong, they didn't want to ask anything more, they just wanted to wait and see.
"Good. Let's get started. ”
At this time, the oil also began to boil, so Qin Yong took a deep breath, picked up a few pieces of dried tofu that had already been soaked in stinky water and turned dark green and threw them into the oil pot.
As a result, with a "zing" sound, a burst of oil smoke bubbled in the oil pot, and then, the dark green dried tofu rolled in the oil pot.
"Huh? What does it taste like? ”
"yes, what does this smell like, it seems to be a little fragrant!"
"What, that's not a scent, is it? It's like a stinch, or the smell of stinky water! It stinks to death. ”
"It stinks, but it also smells. Mmmm, that thing my uncle made, can I really eat it? ”
The dried beans in Qin Yong's hand didn't take two minutes to put them in the pot, and as a result, a strange smell that looked like incense and smelly came out of the oil pot, and the result was that Liu Luoyao and Lin Dai'er couldn't help but suck their noses twice, but after sucking, their expressions were wonderful. Because, they feel both the smell and the fragrance, and the smell of fragrance and smell really makes them very entangled, because they really don't know whether they should suck it.
Suck it, this seems to be the smell of that kind of stinky water, if you suck it desperately, isn't it like you're making a fool of yourself? However, if they didn't smoke it, the smell seemed to make them want to stop.
"Alright, alright. Freshly baked, come, one piece per person, no one should grab it! ”
This strange smell lasted for a full two minutes, and then with Qin Yong's movement, several pieces of stinky tofu were all scooped up from the oil pot. However, Qin Yong's next sentence made Liu Luoyao and the others fall into a more tangled state. Because, Qin Yong actually asked them all to try the taste of this stinky tofu. What else do you say, "one person, no one should rob it", who would really grab this kind of thing?
Of course, it is impossible to say that they are completely unimpressed. Because, the strange smell that came out of the oil pot just now was not only a smelly smell, but also a fragrant smell inside, so what they originally thought in their hearts would never try this kind of thing, it had already been loosened.
However, thinking that there was a smelly water factor in this smell, they hesitated again and again, but they didn't dare to do it first.
"What's wrong? Trust me, it's delicious. If you don't believe me, I'll eat it first. ”
Qin Yong probably also knew that the thing he made was estimated to be difficult for people in this era to accept for a while, especially when Liu Luoyao and the others all knew the raw materials for making zuò, it was estimated that they would have a lot of psychological shadows. Therefore, his leading role at this time is quite important.
"Hiss, whew, it's hot, it's hot! Delicious, delicious! ”
When the stinky tofu was entered, a strange fragrance immediately filled the entire mouth, so Qin Yong, who was very excited, immediately screamed. Of course, whether there is an element of exaggeration in this, only he knows. However, this is also a good thing, because, in this way, it is better to mobilize Liu Luoyao's affection, so as to make them believe that this stinky tofu is indeed delicious, and at the same time, they will no longer resist so much.
"Is it that delicious? I don't believe it. ”
"If you don't believe it, just try, lady, can you still lie to your husband?"
"Well, that's hard to say."
Liu Luoyao glanced at Qin Yong at that time, and it was difficult to say anything for a while.
Because, this husband of hers, just deceived her once last night, because, he said yesterday that if the female superior, it would be easier for him to "raise his gun and surrender", but he never expected that the result of the female superiority was that she worked hard all night, but Qin Yong was recuperating, and then it took a long time to toss, and she almost couldn't get up this morning.
Therefore, what her husband said would not lie to her was categorically unbelievable. It's just that what she didn't expect was that today's Qin Yong really didn't lie to her. This kind of stinky tofu really smells bad and tastes fragrant, so if she hadn't tasted it, I'm afraid she would never know what it tasted like. r1152
