"What? Almond? Fu Duozhi thought that he had heard it wrong, can these two things still be eaten together?

You must know that because this thing is too bitter, it is generally used for medicinal purposes, and no one will make it into a dish at all.

Stone cauliflower mixed with almonds, what kind of dish is this?

Fu Duozhi couldn't help but imagine it in his mind, and suddenly felt a feeling of nausea, and endured the churning in his stomach and said, "Miss Yan'er, are you sure these two things can be mixed together?" I know you're trying to be fresh, but you can't be too fresh. Listen to me, don't take risks easily, but don't smash the signboard of Sweet Island. ”

Faced with the question of Fu Duozhi, Xia Yan just smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything.

After all, it is futile to explain now, and it is better to prove it with facts.

Xia Yan didn't know what he had made up in his brain, but he also knew from his extremely patient expression that these two things could not be eaten together in Fu Duozhi's consciousness.

"Uncle Fu, you may be thinking crookedly." Xia Yan was afraid that he really couldn't help but vomit in his shop, so he hurriedly comforted, "Don't think about it first, when I make this dessert, you will know how delicious it is." ”

"That'...... Then I'm really looking forward to it. No matter how comforting Xia Yan was, Fu Duozhi already had a preconceived opinion, and the more he heard her words, the more uncomfortable his stomach became.

In the end, Fu Duozhi really couldn't bear it, and he was afraid that one would accidentally spit it out, so he could only say goodbye first.

Xia Yan said goodbye to Fu Duozhi, looked at his departing back, shook his head and said: "People who love food are not good at this, it is too easy to be more serious in terms of eating." ”

"Eldest sister, it's not just Uncle Fu who is uncomfortable, I feel a little disgusting when I listen to it from the sidelines." Hearing Xia Yan's self-talk, Xiaohu hurriedly said, "Although I don't know what a cauliflower is, I've seen almonds, and that thing is bitter and astringent in my mouth, tsk, it's really unbearable." ”

"You're talking about bitter almonds, which have the effect of dispelling cough, relieving phlegm and relieving asthma, but if you eat too much, you will be poisoned." Xia Yan smiled, "And what I'm going to use is sweet almonds, which are much more delicious than bitter almonds, and eating more can also make your skin better, I'll get some for you as a snack when I go back." ”

"Is this thing sweet and bitter?" Xiaohu was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of it, he had only seen almonds sold in the pharmacy, but he had never seen anyone eat almonds as snacks, wasn't it crazy?

Although the eldest sister said that sweet almonds are delicious, no matter how delicious it is, it is also almonds, and her eldest sister will even think this kind of thing is delicious, and the taste is not ordinarily heavy.

Xiaohu suddenly remembered the hot pot she made for everyone a few years ago, which left a deep memory on him, and now he saw those chili peppers dried in Xia Yan's house, and he couldn't wait to take a detour.

However, since the eldest sister likes to eat even such terrible chili peppers, it is normal for her to think that almonds are delicious.

Thinking of this, Xiaohu was relieved, but let him eat it by himself, it was absolutely impossible.

As for making his skin better, Xiaohu said that he is a big man and has no need for this.

Thinking of the smell that made him uncomfortable, Xiaohu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Eldest sister, I still don't eat it, I don't eat it." ”

"If you don't want to eat, you can." Xia Yan raised his eyebrows, "However, don't regret it when the time comes." ”

"No regrets, really." Xiaohu hurriedly said.

Just when the two were chatting while selling shaved ice, Fu Duozhi had already sent someone to send three full bags of stone cauliflower.

Xia Yan asked the man to carry three bags of stone cauliflower to the backyard, and after sending away the person who delivered the food, he brought a small stool and sat in front of the stone cauliflower to pick and choose.

Sweet Island is different from the other three shops in that it has a small backyard with several houses and a large kitchen.

After all, unlike selling raw materials directly, making desserts not only requires storing a large number of raw materials, but also has some recipes to keep secret, so it can't be done in the back kitchen of the shop, there is at most a place for reprocessing, and even the big freezer Xia Yan is not placed in the back kitchen, but in the big kitchen in the yard, and it is stipulated that no one is allowed to enter except Xiaohu and her.

What's more, sometimes in order to make an ingredient, not only do you need to work for a long time, but also have to stay by the side, every day to go back and forth between Sweet Island and Bianxi Village, it is really a little inconvenient, or there is a temporary residence is better, she is a girl's family can not be in the store to lay on the floor.

"Eldest sister, is this what you said about stone cauliflower?" Xiaohu couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and temporarily handed over the work in his hand to the guy in the shop to take care of, and followed Xia Yan to the backyard, saw what she was picking, frowned and said, "This ...... It's really hard to describe, can this thing really be eaten? ”

Xiaohu looked at the purple-red unknown object with teeth and claws, and couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Don't look at it badly, but the taste is excellent, when I get them done, let's make a cold salad of cauliflower and eat it." Xia Yan looked at the stone cauliflower in her hand with anticipation, she had been thinking about this dish for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he just temporarily entrusted Duozhi to investigate, but he was really found.

Now that the ingredients are ready, she can finally make the long-awaited dessert - almond tofu.

Hearing that Xia Yan was going to eat these purple-red unknown objects in front of him, Xiaohu couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave the backyard.

Originally, he wanted to help, but now he has no idea, what if the eldest sister suddenly becomes interested and lets herself eat a few bites on the spot, that lump of unknown objects, he really can't get out of his mouth.

Xiaohu had left, and no one bothered Xia Yan anymore, so she cheered up and spread those stone cauliflowers all over the yard in one go, so that they could be dried, which frightened the guys in the shop.

Those who heard what Xiaohu said were already mentally prepared, although they knew that this was a dish, but when they saw the red unknown objects covering the ground, they still trembled psychologically.

I don't know it's miserable, and I thought these were red bugs crawling somewhere, and I yelled in fright.

So much so that they didn't go into the backyard until Xia Yan dried the cauliflower.

Xia Yan couldn't care about the thoughts of those guys, in her opinion, this was just an ordinary plant, the same as seaweed and kelp, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

She muttered in her heart that those people didn't know the goods, and picked up these stone cauliflowers.

After six suns and six bubbles, the purple-red cauliflower finally turned yellow, and it didn't look as terrible as before.

In order to surprise everyone, Xia Yan did not make a noise, but continued to process the stone cauliflower and boiled them all.

After several days and nights of boiling, all those cauliflower flowers were finally turned into an important ingredient for almond tofu - agar.

Looking at the well-made agar, Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, the hard work of these days was not in vain, and she would soon be able to eat the long-awaited almond tofu.

Just imagining the long-lost taste, Xia Yan couldn't help but drool.

The sweet almonds obtained from Fu Duozhi were washed, soaked in boiling water, peeled, ground into a pulp, and filtered with gauze to remove the slag to obtain a large pot full of almond juice. Then put the pot on the fire, pour in almond juice and agar, then add sugar, fresh milk and cream, boil and stir well, put it in the pot and put it on a plate to cool, and then put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, until it condenses into a freeze and then takes it out, and the almond tofu that Xia Yan is looking forward to is made.

On the day of the tasting, Xia Yan specially invited Fu Duozhi and Xiaohu to bring up the almond tofu that had been cut and plated in front of the two.

"Miss Yan'er, didn't you eat cauliflower mixed with almonds, why did you serve two plates of tofu." Fu Duozhi took a closer look at the plate in Xia Yan's hand, and after confirming that these were just two plates of tofu, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"That's right, big sister, I'm ready to eat that lump of red stuff, you don't have to worry about me, just serve it." Although Xiaohu said so, the Adam's apple that kept swallowing told Xia Yan that he was still very afraid of eating stone cauliflower.

Hearing the words of the two, Xia Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Fu, I'm serving tofu, not tofu." ”

"What do you say?" Fu Duozhi really couldn't understand the meaning of her words, and was even a little dizzy, why is tofu not tofu?

"It's called tofu because it's about the same length as tofu." Xia Yan smiled, "Say it's not tofu because it's not made with beans." ”

"Not beans?" Fu Duo was stunned, "What's that?" ”

This really broke Fu Duozhi's common sense, if others dared to say in front of him that tofu was not made of beans, he would definitely go up and slap that person a few times, it was just nonsense, how to make tofu without beans?

But this is what Xia Yan said, no matter how unbelievable it is, he also thinks that it is possible, after all, she has done a lot of unexpected things over the years.

Fu Duozhi and Xiaohu looked at Xia Yan expectantly, hoping to hear the answer from her mouth, but they didn't expect Xia Yan to just smile mysteriously and said, "I want to know what this is made of?" It's simple, just take a bite. ”

The two couldn't help but stumble, almost didn't fall, and seeing that Xia Yan really didn't tell them, they could only take the plate of white and tender tofu, pick up the spoon and dig a spoonful.

"Well, it's in good condition." Fu Duozhi raised the spoon and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but admire, "Miss Yan'er, your craftsmanship is really admirable, look at this tofu, it is really a smoother jade milky color than the earth." ”

"Uncle Fu, you're laughing." Xia Yan smiled modestly.

"Eldest sister, don't be modest, this tofu is indeed beautiful. Although I am not as literary as Uncle Fu, I can also praise a few words. Xiaohu cleared his throat, "Do you think it's good to describe it as thin as clotted fat and crystal as jade?" ”

"Okay, all right." Xia Yan was amused by Xiaohu, couldn't help but smile, and made a gesture of please, "Two, let's try it." ”
