Chapter 48: Want to Eat Tofu? I'll teach you!
"Youyou, all the soy milk that can be bought near the academy is here."
In less than half an hour, Otilia and Antoneva bought a large vat of soy milk.
"I'm sorry, but after Lord Neva's chief will is mortgaged, we can only look for it nearby. Otherwise, there is not enough time. β
Youmeng squatted down, scooped up the soy milk with a small spoon and tasted it, because there was no sugar or additives, it was not delicious.
The color of the bean juice is slightly yellowish white, and the rich bean flavor does not have the faint chlorine smell of tap water in the previous life - this world where spiritual power is supreme will naturally not have so many additional commercial plays.
"No problem, it's just a snack, it's enough."
Youmeng stood up satisfied, turned her head to look to the side, and closed her palms, "Then please, you need four cooking pots and four shaped stoves." β
[No problem! γ
Eyi, who remained in the hall, nodded and made an OK gesture.
Rose-red eyes flashed, blue Lingzi built an operation panel in the air, Huiyiyi's fingers dotted in the air, and a whole row of stoves and matching kitchen utensils were neatly unlocked next to the workbench - as well as four sets of white aprons and cute chef's hats.
[Can we help?] The sketchboard floats in the air.
Youmeng took a chef's hat and pressed it on Hui Yiyi's head, smiled and nodded, "Of course, the food made by yourself will always be more delicious." β
"Well, you have to wear this hat." Otilia asked, shaking her hair a little uncomfortably.
"It's better to put it on," Yumeng said as she reached out and helped her tuck the blonde hair from her forehead into her hat, "You don't want to wait until you eat your hair or dandruff." And ......"
Youmeng's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the chef's hat in her hand, which was similar to her previous life, and a warm figure squatted down and put the chef's hat on her head solemnly on her head.
"Mommy......" Yumeng muttered in a low voice.
"And what?" Otilia's crisp voice awakens Yumo from her memories.
"Oh, nothing." Yumeng came back to her senses, and couldn't help but bend her index finger to learn the movements in her memory, scratched Otilia's delicate nose, and said softly, "Moreover, this hat makes you look more cute." β
"Okay, now help me heat up the soy milk."
Youmeng clapped her hands, stopped the topic, and motioned for everyone to help pour the soy milk into the several pots that had been prepared for a long time, turn on the stove and start heating.
The four girls stood side by side in the kitchen, each obediently looking at the small pot in front of them, waiting for the soy milk in the pot to boil.
"Now, so you're quiet, what the hell is it?"
After a short silence, the blonde Xiaoice girl, who had the lowest patience, was the first to break the silence.
Finally, she couldn't suppress her curiosity, shaking Youmeng's arm, Otilia's eyes flashed with curiosity and looked at Youmeng, "Don't sell it, I'm dying!" β
[That is, what is it?] γ
As if a chain reaction, the well-behaved and dazed Eiyi on the side also responded in agreement, holding the sketchboard and patting Youmeng dissatisfied.
"It's tofu or tofu brain, right?"
Antoneva held his chin in his right hand and asked with some uncertainty, then frowned, shook his head and quickly denied, "No, not to mention that although tofu is expensive, you can still buy a small piece for two thousand points." And to be able to turn soy milk into tofu, you need to use the spirit cooking skills above the beginner level, right? β
"Can this be turned into tofu?"
Otilia asked in surprise, she looked at the soy milk that began to churn in the iron pot in confusion, pressed her fingers to her lips and looked up to recall the white tofu - it was not the same thing.
"I don't know exactly why. It seems that if salt is added to soy milk, the spirit chefs can use spiritual power to change its form to make solid tofu. β
Antoneva shook her head, she knew that it was all because she had heard the spirit chefs passing by discuss it when she had followed the Archon of Hiro before.
Excuse meοΌοΌ
Yumeng's head stood on top in fright, and it popped out of the chef's hat.
β¦β¦ Inject spiritual power to reconcile and compress, change the shape of soy milk, in order to form a ...... Bean curd?!
No wonder from the perspective of the food reserves and prices in the refrigerator, tofu is regarded as a light luxury ingredient here, as Antonieva said, a small box of tofu needs thousands of points, I was still wondering at the time, and now I know that the barbarians of this world will not order marinade together?
Youmeng touched her nose, do people in this world want to eat tofu to play such a high-end operation, it is really distressing.
It seems that compared with the previous life, the world's exploration of soy products-related ingredients is really in a very immature embryonic stage.
"Sister Neva is right, soy milk can indeed be turned into tofu."
Youmeng nodded affirmatively, she drugged Antoneva and them last night, phew, when it was below, there was tofu in the toppings of the auxiliary materials.
Straightening her chest and pretending to sigh deeply, the girl spread her hands with some stinky farts, "However, it's not that complicated. You don't need too advanced spiritual cooking skills to do it. β
After all, in that world, tofu is arguably the most common soy product.
As early as thousands of years ago, Liu An, the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was burning medicine and alchemy, and accidentally used gypsum to point soybean juice, thus inventing the original tofu.
For a long time after that, due to the different salt and brine used to order tofu, the difference between tender tofu and old tofu with different tastes in the north and south was formed.
If the tofu is made with gypsum, the cured tofu flower has a higher water content and a delicate texture.
On the other hand, if tofu is made with brine or sour pulp, the solidified tofu flower has less water content, but because it has less water content, the tofu has a stronger flavor, a tougher texture, and is easier to cook.
All in all, no matter what you say, it's much more reliable than using spiritual power to condense tofu.
After hiding the dynasty and some historical reasons, Yu Mengyun lightly popularized science for three girls from another world.
"So, why can the 'brine' you said turn soy milk into tofu?"
Antoniva paused, recalled Yumeng's words, and repeated it on the "brine" a little stiffly, with doubts in her eyes, just like when she was in school, she subconsciously raised her arm and asked.
"That's a good question, Antoneva!"
Youmeng's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand with satisfaction, imitating the appearance of the head teacher in her previous life, and nodded her head in an old way.
"Do you want to know the reality of the world behind this phenomenon?"
The three little heads moved quickly in unison.
Looking around, looking at the three pairs of beautiful eyes around her who were eager for knowledge, the pride in the salted fish girl's heart soared, and she organized her language for a while, coughed lightly, and explained in a more profound tone.
"Soybeans, the raw material of tofu, are rich in protein, so soy milk is essentially a protein colloid, which will have a negative charge when heated, and if an electrolyte solution with divalent salt ions is added, it can neutralize the charge of the ions adsorbed on the surface of colloidal particles. As a result, the proteins can aggregate to form a gel, which is tofu. Depending on how much water is pressed out, you can get tofu brain, tofu, dried tofu, and so on. I say so, you get the idea. β
Protein?! Electrolyte?! What valence salt ions?! What the hell?!
οΌοΌοΌ Confused, Otilia chose to die.
οΌοΌοΌ Confused. Eyiyi goes into a state of downtime.
οΌοΌοΌ The three of them were confused. Antoneva has been disconnected.
