Chapter 11 Invite Mizhen to dinner

The next day, Mi Zhen came to Tian's house at the invitation of Tian Fan. Tian Fan said that he wanted to invite Mi Zhen to dinner, and for this meal, Tian Fan prepared for almost a month! What to eat? Tofu, bean sprouts, bean paste, bean sprouts! In order to prepare these things, Tian Fan was very nervous!

Let's talk about tofu first, there was no tofu in that era, which is a small invention. Tian Fan has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and his second uncle's family is making tofu, and he has not seen it rarely, has he never eaten pork or seen a pig run? At this time, there was no tofu, there was definitely no stone mill suitable for grinding beans, Tian Fan designed it first, and then asked the craftsman to do it, and three were invalidated, and the fourth was successful. The process of turning from soybean milk to tofu can be regarded as the destruction of colloids, and it can be done with acid, alkali and salt. Modern tofu mainly uses spot brine and gypsum, both of which are active ingredients of salt, magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate, respectively. Strictly speaking, these two things are not good for the body, so Tian Fan chose the acid method - vinegar!

Okay, everything is almost ready, it's time to do it, right? But Tian Fan found a bigger problem, there was no suitable pot. At that time, people mainly relied on cooking to eat, which was the so-called "cooking", and what they ate was that kind of "soup". So Tian Fan designed all kinds of pots and pans, and finally created a few iron pots that became Tian Fan's incriminating evidence, and the old man scolded Tian Fan for two whole days because of these pots.

Yes, I admit that I am a loser, these iron pots are relatively unfamiliar shapes to craftsmen, and it took hundreds of catties of iron to build them successfully, but the kettle you used to cook rice is copper, which is more luxurious than me! Yes, who let us be sons, we can't reason with the old man! After these iron pots were built, Tian Fan taught some modern cooking methods to the cooks in the house during the experiment, and the cooks were surprised after the experiment, and since then they have seen Tian Liang called "Master Gongzi", and after Tian Lao tried the new cooking method, he immediately decided to do this for future dishes! As for the question of training Tian Fan for two days because of these pots, he never mentioned it again...... This old man......

Let's talk about bean sprouts and bean sprouts, bean sprouts are simple, soak the beans for two days, and then put them in a warmer place to cover them, but don't forget to wash them with warm water every day, and by the way, pick out the blackened dead beans to prevent mold and deterioration. When you think the sprouts are long enough, just soak the sprouts in cold water. The low temperature of the cold water will kill the root tip growth area of the sprouts, so that the sprouts will not continue to grow. Bean sprouts are in trouble, that thing has to see the sun, and if it doesn't see the sun, it will grow out of good bean sprouts, and it has to be warm, that is to say, it has to grow in a plastic greenhouse...... But there was no plastic back then. In the end, it was Xiao Liu'er's idea, don't be so troublesome, find a few wooden basins, put sand in them, plant beans, and then put them under the window of your house. The house was warm and sunny, so the bean sprouts finally broke through the "sand" and came out!

The method of watercress is simpler, just according to the production method of bean sprouts, when the beans have just grown sprouts, they are stirred with cold water, and then they can be eaten.

The old man and the old lady took Tian Kun and didn't know why they went, there were no tigers in the mountains at home, and Tian Fan was called the king!

It was impossible to let Mi Zhen sit at the table and wait, this girl had to follow Tian Fan, so she witnessed the whole process of these dishes from raw to cooked. At that time, Confucianism did not form a complete dominance, especially the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Confucianism was greatly impacted. "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen" These hypocritical "benevolence" have not been believed by many people. And Old Man Tian is obviously not the kind of benevolent gentleman, his behavior is ...... Anyway, how comfortable is it, although he is also very educated, but he is not a Confucian child at all! There are a lot of books in the old man's study, but there is not a single Confucian classic, but there are many Taoist books. …,

The main method of cooking is to fry and fry, Tian Fan has to do it himself, and others can't do it.

The bean sprouts should be fried, and then stewed after frying. Stir-fry the bean sprouts directly and then remove from the pan. The watercress is stir-fried first, then stewed, the stew is almost done, add some condiments such as coriander, and add some sesame oil when it comes out of the pot. Tofu is stewed, first put water, then put pepper and ginger slices, and stew directly without any oil. Pay attention to the heat, if the time is too long, the tofu will be old. Add a little salt when it comes out of the pot, or you can add some sesame oil, or you can do it without it. I learned this method from my cousin who was a soldier in my previous life. It's a pity that there are no chili peppers, Tian Fan had to find some mustard, that play means that the Tao is too rushing, and he didn't dare to put it directly in the tofu, well, who wants to eat it when he dips it himself. Then stewed bean sprouts and stewed tofu, put some pork, and the visual effect of the stew was good. In the previous life, when Tian Fan's family was in the countryside, when some villagers got married, they all looked for someone to help cook, cook, serve tea and deliver food. When relatives and friends have happy events, Tian Fan and they also have to help, and the meal in the morning is stewed bean sprouts and tofu in a big pot...... Oh, my God! Delicious! That feeling, until many years later, Tian Fan still remembers it vividly!

Okay, it's finally done, let's eat!

Tian Fan asked people to make a round table and a few chairs and stools, and the old man gave him a lecture for this at first, but later he did feel comfortable sitting on a stool, and it felt better to eat at a table, and it seemed close, so he didn't say anything more. In fact, my mother secretly told Tian Fan that the old man liked the chair when he saw it, but he still had to train him! Tian Fan was very helpless......

Mi Zhen has also tried chairs and round tables a few times, and she is not surprised. Tian Fan asked Guizhi, Fangcao, Xiao Liu'er, Tang Yi, and Tang Er to serve together, these people were not surprised, they had been together for so long, and they all knew that Tian Fan had no sense of hierarchy, and he would only get angry if you didn't serve it. Although Mi Zhen sometimes wonders about Tian Fan's changes, but thinking about it, Tian Fan is now more considerate and caring for himself, so he doesn't think about it anymore.

When the dish was served, Tang Yi said, "Huh? Why is this bean seedling like grass? "The result...... As a result, he was taught a hard lesson by Tian Fan...... Actually, Tang Yi was quite right......

The results of several people's attempts were basically the same, very satisfied, especially the stewed tofu, under Tian Fan's strong request, Mi Zhen trembled and dipped in mustard and ate a little, squeezed his eyebrows for a long time, and then ...... Then the pair of chopsticks formed a three-point line between the tofu, the mustard and her cherry mouth, moving so fast that it couldn't stop at all...... Tian Fan who watched it was stunned! Several people who ate this meal screamed and were addicted.

Tang Yi was very ashamed, because among these dishes, his favorite dishes were tofu and bean sprouts, he withdrew his words, and said cautiously: "Childe, this bean sprout...... Anything else? Looking at this two-meter-tall giant, who said this sentence with a red face and red ears, Tian Fan almost didn't vomit! He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Damn, big brother, I obeyed you!" All those bean sprouts in my house are yours, so I just ask you not to do this again......"

After the meal, several people sat together and chatted after rinsing their mouths. Mi Zhen snorted and chirped and said to Tian Fan: "Brother Tian Fan, let you die, Zhen'er's stomach is so supportive!" I can't sit down now. Under Tian Fan's strong request, Mi Zhen's title to Tian Fan changed from "Brother Boguang" to the current "Brother Tian Fan". Well, every time Mi Zhenjiao shouts "Brother Boguang", it makes Tian Fan endure so much pain! Tian Fan also said to Mi Zhen weakly: "Zhen'er, I can't sit down, hey, fortunately there is a chair, otherwise I can't stand upright and lie down, I can only stand and bow my waist, how tired is that?" Several people nodded in agreement! …,

Mi Zhen shook her body sitting on the chair, smiled and leaned her face to Tian Fan's side, and said, "By the way, Brother Tian Fan, this chair is really a good thing, it is much more comfortable to sit than to kneel!" Did you make it? Tian Fan nodded, mumbled, but suddenly realized something, turned his head to look at Mi Zhen, and found that Mi Zhen looked at herself with a charming smile, this girl has become mature again, it's really terrible! The two looked at each other for a while, and at the same time smiled and nodded, well, a furniture manufacturing industry was born. Mi Zhen is still very business-talented, leave this matter to her, Tian Fan rest assured!

It was late, and Mi Zhen took her leave. Tian Fan called Tang a set of cars, shouted twice and didn't answer, turned his head and looked at him, uh, these two guys looked at Fangcao without blinking. Tian Fan thought to himself, this guy is really, even if you want to see it, you don't have to look at it like this, right? Too obvious, right?

Mi Zhen touched Tian Fan and motioned for him to look at Tang Er, Tian Fan turned his head to look...... Yes, this guy is the same, looking at Guizhi with two bull's eyes open and unblinking. Tian Fan was suddenly ashamed...... Why don't you have such guts? Look at the two girls, poor babies, their faces are flushed when they are seen by the two giants. Uh, my God, is spring coming? Mi Zhen looked at Tian Fan embarrassedly, these two girls will be Mi Zhen's wedding girls after all, it seems that the two hearts are tied to the two giants respectively.

Tian Fan gently pulled Mi Zhen out of the door, and said softly: "What, I think you don't want to take others after we get married, just take these two girls, and then bring a coachman and an old mother." When the time comes, we will make the decision to let these two couples also get married, Tang Yi and Tang Er are also quite old, they have been with me for so many years, they are not brothers but brothers! Mi Zhen also nodded and said, "Yes, these two girls have been with me for many years, and they are not sisters but sisters." Well, do as you say! So, between a few words between the two, a "conspiracy" that decided the fate of the two pairs of mandarin ducks was finalized.

Mi Zhen will perform and ceremonial on the third day of the third month of the third month, and then you can get married. The two families discussed getting married as soon as possible after the Mi Zhen ceremony, but Tian Fan was unwilling, not because he was dissatisfied with Mi Zhen, but because he felt that Mi Zhen was too young. If you are not yet fifteen years old after the ceremony, it is better to wait two years and marry again when you are seventeen or eighteen.

Regarding Tian Fan's statement that women are too young to have children, Tian Liang and Mi Zhu scoffed, Mi Zhu was anxious at the time, and he asked, "Do you have any new love?" The old man slapped the table and shouted: "If you dare to lose Zhen'er, I will not recognize you as a rebel!" I'll expel you from the temple! Frightened, Tian Fan quickly admitted his mistake and honestly agreed! Tian Fan thought to himself, it's a big deal not to have a round house for the time being after getting married, or pay attention to yourself, anyway, you can't let Mi Zhen have a child before the age of eighteen! However, now that Mi Zhen and Tian Fan are married, Mi Zhen is no longer as blushing as before.
