Chapter 24: Try making spices
"An Qing, hello, my name is Ye Tiantian."
Ye Tiantian stretched out his hand and prepared to shake hands with Xiang Anqing, but he didn't expect Xiang Anqing to grasp himself and pull himself away.
Xiang Anqing asked while holding Ye Tiantian, "Ye Tiantian, is it the meaning of Lotus Leaf Tiantian?" ”
Ye Tiantian felt that this sentence was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who said it.
Ye Tiantian shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe my father and mother thought it was so easy to remember, so they took it like this, but now I can't ask them." ”
Sensing that Ye Tiantian's mood was a little low, Xiang An Qing didn't ask any more, and opened the topic and asked, "Why are you here today?" ”
was reminded by Xiang Anqing, and Ye Tiantian remembered that he had come to try to make spices.
This half day has been delayed for more than half of the day, and she said anxiously: "Oh, I have something to do when I go up the mountain today, and it's almost too late." ”
Xiang An Qing asked curiously, "What's the matter, can I go?" ”
Ye Tiantian thought of the sound of horses' hooves he heard, turned around and asked An Qing: "An Qing, are you riding a horse?" ”
Xiang Anqing nodded, because he was afraid that there would be an ambush under the mountain, Xiang Anqing specially parked the horse not far away.
Seeing Xiang Anqing nodded, Ye Tiantian hurriedly said, "Then can you take me halfway up the mountain, if you're okay, how about helping me taste the dishes I cooked." ”
Under the guidance of Ye Tiantian, the two rode to the tree halfway up the mountain after a while.
Xiang Anqing tied the horse to a tree a little farther away, and it could detect any movement in time.
According to the plan, Ye Tiantian first grinded the sweet potato flour, because there were no suitable tools, Ye Tiantian grinded a little slowly, although he didn't understand what Ye Tiantian was doing, Xiang Anqing didn't bother, and obediently sat next to him and watched.
Today must not be able to grind all the sweet potatoes, Ye Tiantian wants to make a part first, just Xiang Anqing is next to him, you can try to make it to see if it suits the taste of people in this era.
After grinding a small piece of sweet potato, Ye Tiantian took out the prepared minced meat and tofu from the back basket, as well as rice wine and special sauce. Ready to make mapo tofu again.
Although the Ye family also finished eating tofu at noon, Ye Tiantian always felt that the tofu had no taste after tasting it, and the sauce was too rich, so it was not a successful mapo tofu.
Ye Tiantian set up the stove with ease, took out the flint and steel from the back basket, lit a fire smoothly, took out the jar that had been hidden before, and put it on the stove.
Xiang Anqing watched Ye Tiantian take out all kinds of things from the back basket step by step, and felt more and more that her new friend was amazing, she didn't dare to disturb Ye Tiantian, and watched with wide eyes on the side.
After Ye Tiantian made mapo tofu, before starting the pot, he added the water starch made of tapioca flour to thicken the juice.
Then he took the jar off the stove and put out the fire in the stove before bringing it up.
Xiang Anqing had been watching silently from the side, and after seeing Ye Tiantian extinguishing the fire, he felt that it should be done, poked Ye Tiantian and asked, "Tian Tian, are you okay?" ”
Ye Tiantian, who had just been concentrating on cooking, had forgotten that there was still Xiang Anqing by his side, and was suddenly taken aback.
However, Ye Tiantian quickly calmed down, looked at the mapo tofu that was still in good condition, nodded and said, "Okay, Anqing, do you want to try it, I'm not sure if it's delicious." ”
Xiang Anqing found the chopsticks in Ye Tiantian's hand, carefully picked up a piece of tofu, blew it and put it in his mouth.
It melted before he could chew it, but the rich flavor of the sauce couldn't dissipate in his mouth for a long time, and Xiang Anqing's eyes lit up.
This taste is really delicious, Xiang Anqing couldn't help but clip the second chopsticks.
Seeing Xiang Anqing take another bite, Ye Tiantian asked worriedly, "How is it, Anqing, is it tasteless?" ”
Xiang Anqing grabbed Ye Tiantian and said, "Tian Tian, what you made is really delicious!" It's much better than what I make in my dining room! You're amazing! ”
Seeing that Xiang Anqing was satisfied, Ye Tiantian's heart finally relaxed, and he also tasted it, although it was still not as delicious as the one made in the previous life, but it was much better than noon.
It seems that the tapioca flour is really useful, and I have to bring the remaining tapioca flour as soon as possible, and the next thing is to taste the rice wine.
Ye Tiantian didn't want to use the dish to taste it, the alcohol would slowly evaporate during the cooking process, and he had to find the most suitable amount so that the rice wine would not volatilize all the alcohol, and people would not find out that the wine was used in the dish.
Rekindling the fire, Ye Tiantian brought up the remaining mapo tofu, and when it was almost heated, he added the rice wine he brought, and slowly waited for it to be heated.
Ye Tiantian felt that the alcohol should have volatilized about half, so he reached in with chopsticks and dipped a little bit and took it out to try the taste, feeling that the alcohol smell was still a little heavy, which would overshadow the taste of the dish itself.
Stirring in the jar with chopsticks, Ye Tiantian imitated his usual stir-fry turning, and then took out the chopsticks and tasted it.
Ye Tiantian's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he shouted: "That's right! That's the taste! ”
I didn't understand why Ye Tiantian kept licking the chopsticks, so Xiang An Qing hurriedly stretched out the chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth. Although I can't say what is different, Xiang Anqing feels that this dish seems to be a little more delicious.
Xiang Anqing admired Ye Tiantian more and more, and originally thought that the tofu he had just made was delicious enough, but he didn't expect that Ye Tiantian would be even more delicious after adding something.
Ye Tiantian watched Xiang Anqing eat what he made one bite at a time, and he was also very satisfied, but listening to her, he should be from a rich family, and there is a dining room at home.
I just don't know what kind of family would let their daughter dress up like this, in this era it must be a pair of enlightened parents.
After Xiang Anqing ate almost, Ye Tiantian packed up his things, the time was almost up, it was time for him to go back to cooking, today's attempts were basically successful, and it could be regarded as a good ending.
After Ye Tiantian cleaned up, he said to Xiang An Qing: "An Qing, believe you today, I should go home, you can come to me to play at any time in the future, my house is at the foot of the mountain, closest to this mountain and that household." ”
It was not too early for An Qing to see the sky, although he was very reluctant to Ye Tiantian, he could only say goodbye to her.
Seeing Ye Tiantian carrying a big basket on his back, Xiang Anqing thought that she should be very tired when she went back this way, so she proposed: "Tian Tian, I'll ride you back, you show me the way." ”
It would be really tiring to carry so many things by himself, but Ye Tiantian thought that he had troubled Xiang Anqing for a day today, so he was embarrassed to let her send him again, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my home is very close, you don't need to send me." ”
Xiang An Qing looked at Ye Tiantian's determined appearance, and it was not good to say anything, he had to hurry home quickly, otherwise his brothers would be worried again.
After saying goodbye to Ye Tiantian, she quickly left.
