Chapter 30: Talent
Lin Yu'an checked the dried tofu, and the size of each piece was the same and the thickness was uniform, all very good, "Now put these dried tofu in salt water and soak them for a while." ”
Chef Qian was very surprised, so she dried the water in the tofu and soaked it again?
Hongling hurriedly asked, "Miss, why is this?" ”
"It's going to have a layer of undertaste."
"Oh."
After Yun Yishan walked in, she saw Chef Qian and her daughter, under the command of her little cousin, soaking some tofu cubes in an orderly manner.
"The tofu is ready in the morning? Didn't you say that it would take at least two hours? She looked curiously at the shelves on the side, and there were several wooden frames that had been pressed on them, and they didn't seem to have decreased.
Lin Yu'an: "These are yesterday's tofu. ”
"Ah, yesterday's? Is it all the rest? Yun Yishan was a little puzzled, this tofu is delicious as long as it is cooked a little, and there will be leftovers?
Lin Yu'an explained: "I heard from the housekeeper and the nurse that the funeral banquet should be prepared afterwards. ”
Yun Yishan nodded.
"Because my father's and mother's circumstances are special, I can't hold too grand a ceremony, so I want to use these tofu as dishes at the funeral banquet to reward those who come to the funeral."
After Yun Yishan listened, she immediately hugged Lin Yu'an distressedly.
This is all An An's filial piety.
In fact, when Lin Yu'an listened to the housekeeper and the nurse, he remembered his past life.
In order to distinguish the past from the present, she called the past a past life.
When my grandfather and grandmother left, the villagers said that they would eat tofu soup to reward those who attended the funeral.
Although she doesn't know much about the specific customs and meanings, it seems to be related to the Buddha's fate, which can make the deceased rest in peace.
This is also a wish she gave to the original owner.
She used the body of the original owner, which also means that she can't enter the earth for peace, so she has always wanted to do something for the original owner.
"Can't you do it again on the same day? Will it be broken? ”
Lin Yu'an pointed to the tofu on the shelf, "There are not enough people, and other vegetarian dishes will have to be prepared at that time, so make some preparations in advance, now that the weather is cold, you can put it for a long time when you make dried tofu." ”
Yun Yishan touched Lin Yu'an's head with her hand, "I see, An An, like my aunt, is very talented in cooking." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yu'an was stunned.
Mother Lin's busy figure in the kitchen flashed in her mind, and in the video, Mother Lin also fed the little original owner from time to time, asking if it was delicious.
That was the warmth that Lin Yu'an had never experienced in his previous life.
But she didn't expect the mother of the original owner to have such a side, no wonder after she made the tofu, Lin Ruochen and Mrs. Yun were only surprised at the beginning, and then took it for granted.
Since he had the excuse of talent, Lin Yu'an wondered if he could be bolder.
Seeing the lonely expression of her little cousin, Yun Yishan wanted to slap herself.
Why are you talking about these sad things again?!
Xi Xi, who was standing next to Lin Yu'an, stared at Yun Yishan with wide eyes, as if he was about to rush up and hit someone.
Although Chubby Dun didn't quite understand what was going on, he also learned to stare at people.
The condemning eyes of the two little guys made Yun Yishan even more guilty.
"An An, I ......"
"Cousin Shan, Hei Hei, uh...... Little boy, let's mix five-spice powder! Lin Yu'an, who came back to his senses, looked at them with a smile.
In order to make the dried tofu taste better, Lin Yu'an decided to make some seasoning powder.
Yun Yishan was stunned, and then smiled, "Okay!" ”
The two little ones also nodded ignorantly.
When the tofu was almost soaked, Lin Yu'an asked Chef Qian to drain the water, then put it on a special bamboo strip and smoke it with firewood.
"When the bottom side is smoked until golden, turn it over."
Qian Chef Niang and Hongling: "Yes." ”
Lin Yu'an and the others methodically crushed the baked spices into powder.
Seeing Xixi's serious little face, Lin Yu'an felt that the little hardship he had suffered before was nothing at all.
Then Lin Yu'an handed over the finished seasoning powder to Chef Qian and asked her to sprinkle it on the dried tofu that was being smoked, and the faint aroma wafted in the air.
Because the Lin family was still in the filial piety period, the taste of the dishes could not be too heavy, so Lin Yu'an simplified the dried tofu that was supposed to be fried and soaked and seasoned into this smoked and grilled.
The aroma makes people swallow continuously.
The little fat dun quietly stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Lin Yu'an's sleeve to beg for food, but was directly slapped away by Xixi.
Lin Yu'an, who heard the voice, turned around, "What's wrong?" ”
"Sister An An, when can I eat this?" Chubby snort.
"At least half of it... Ahem, two quarters of an hour. ”
How long is it going to take?
Chubby Dun and Xixi's little faces collapsed.
Lin Yu'an immediately softened, turned his head and said to Chef Qian, "Aunt Qian, you clip three pieces down, let's try the taste." ”
"Okay."
Looking at the dried tofu with a golden color and a hint of smoky flavor, Yun Yishan resisted the urge to taste it and asked, "Isn't it still going to smoke for another quarter of an hour?" Can you eat it now? ”
"Well, it's actually cooked, and now it's smoked just to add flavor and remove the moisture from it so that it can last a little longer." Lin Yu'an said as he cut the dried tofu with a knife.
"Oh."
Yun Yishan nodded as if she didn't understand.
The inside of the cut dried tofu is still moist, and the texture is also very special.
"Come on, try them all."
Everyone uses chopsticks to pick up a piece of dried tofu and put it in their mouths.
Unlike soft tofu, smoked dried tofu has a bit of a chewiness, which is a different experience.
Lin Yu'an felt that it was a pity.
If you add some chili sauce, it will taste even better!
Well, a little bit is good.
Hongling: "Why do you feel like you're eating meat?" ”
Her evaluation made everyone nod in agreement.
Such a small half piece of dried tofu can't satisfy the little guys' grain arrears at all. Hope, Xixi directly pulled Lin Yu'an's sleeve and expressed his appeal, "Also!" ”
Little Fat Dun hurriedly shouted: "I want to!" ”
Although Yun Yishan didn't make a sound, her eyes showed the same meaning.
Lin Yu'an: "After smoking, it will taste better." ”
Xi Xi blinked wide, then let go of her hand and sat obediently to the side and waited.
Chef Qian, who was turning over dried tofu, looked at her daughter who was also busy, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Unexpectedly, such a craft, Miss didn't say anything, and passed it on to herself and her daughter.
has a good craft, and her daughter's future life will be settled.
Lin Yu'an glanced at Chef Qian, who was quietly wiping away her tears, and remembered the news that Qinghe had inquired.
Qian Chuniang's husband was a general of the Yun family, but in the year after Hongling came out, he unfortunately died on the battlefield, and they became orphans and widows.
Later, because of his good cooking skills, he was asked by Lin's mother to be a dowry.
Lin Yu'an sighed deeply.
War is so cruel.
Hey?
War?!
