In the past few days, this King Wu Rong stayed in the palace, so busy that he was almost anxious, Song Shenzong had a cold, almost said that he was sick, this chores were still planned by King Wu Rong, especially the Empress Dowager Gao, who was not idle for a moment, the Empress Dowager Gao was worried about the marriage of the youngest son, taking advantage of this big holiday, the princes and ministers and the women had to enter the palace to meet, and the Empress Dowager Gao also deliberately came down to will, asking them to bring their daughters of the right age at home to see each other, the Empress Dowager Gao was very satisfied, She insisted on pulling this King Wu Rong close to such a so-called famous lady. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】
King Wu Rong was overwhelmed, but he didn't dare to disobey the queen mother's will, so he had to hold back the impatience in his heart and be vain. finally survived this experience, King Wu Rong was anxious to get out of the palace, but all of a sudden, the imperial city collapsed, and all the mess came out, and the emperor just didn't let him out of the palace.
King Wu Rong became suspicious at this time, this thing seems to be wrong, how can so many things come together in one place King Wu Rong's heart sank, in order to confirm his suspicions, King Wu Rong walked to the palace gate, sure enough, the city guard said that he did not dare to let King Wu Rong out of the palace, only said that the emperor had an order, during the festival, all must have a token to go out of the palace.
King Wu Rong understood, this was a disguised attempt to put him under house arrest It seems that the emperor is already suspicious, but that thing has been done so strictly, how can this emperor be suspicious of himself
King Wu Rong's mind appeared Yinhuo's cold face, and his heart sank, could it be that he had already sensed something, he must not sit still, he must leave the palace as soon as possible
King Wu Rong came to the Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom, and saw that the Empress Dowager Gao was resting, so he quietly pulled Gonggong Yang on the side, "Father-in-law, I can't go out of the palace, and I have to bother your old man to go for me" This Gonggong Yang has already been bought by him, and it is King Wu Rong's powerful eyeliner in the palace.
"What does the prince have to order," Yang Gonggong said flatteringly. "Make some mess out and mess up Yinhuo's sight, so that I have time to plan everything" The gleam in Wu Rongwang's eyes flashed, and he was like two people with his usual cynical appearance.
Chen Qiaoqiao also had trouble, when Baofu Yin got married, the county order of Yanqing County sent a messenger to congratulate him, and he didn't want that person to attend the wedding banquet, and he would go back and praise how delicious the dishes of this fairy tofu restaurant were, and how beautiful the boss was
Who is the owner of Yanqing Restaurant Xu Lin in this capital area, the most famous tofu banquet is Yanqing Liugou tofu banquet, since the Han Dynasty has been recorded, in the Tang Dynasty became a court tribute, there was a history of every household making tofu, with its unique production technology, rich nutritional value has been handed down to this day.
There is also a local proverb about tofu: "It is yellow when it is lifted on the table, it is alive up and down the body, the stubble is thin when the knife is pulled, it is cotton in the hand, it is thin in the mouth, it is tough when it is boiled in the pot, and it is empty when it is fried." ”
This Yanqing Liugou Tofu Banquet has always dominated the capital area, and has never met an opponent, and now I actually heard that someone has opened the Sichuan Jianmen Tofu Banquet to their territory, how can they not be anxious
And this is the most powerful is Xu Lin, his family has been making tofu for a living for generations, to him, the craft is already perfect, hearing someone praise Chen Qiaoqiao's craftsmanship so much, I was really unconvinced, so I took my cousin and a few people to the fairy tofu restaurant.
When they came, they clamored to drink soy milk, how unreasonable it was to drink soy milk in a restaurant. Chunhua immediately told Chen Qiaoqiao. Chen Qiaoqiao frowned, it was really not good
Chen Qiaoqiao walked out and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's noon, where did you get any soy milk, why don't you order some delicious side dishes?"
Xu Lin looked at Chen Qiaoqiao carefully and said, "It's really good, and it is worthy of the name of this tofu Shih Tzu, but it is really rare to make tofu Shih Tzu that can't be made with a bowl of small soy milk."
It seems that these people's intentions are not simple, this soy milk is an extremely difficult step in making tofu, and the quality of tofu depends largely on the quality of soy milk. Chen Qiaoqiao understood that she had met a master, and they were here to kick the gym
Chen Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "You don't look like locals since you came from afar, I will make an exception, please wait for a while, spring flowers, and serve some good wine and good food first."
Chen Qiaoqiao is also a stubborn temper, so she is so strong-hearted, she must be convinced
Soybean milk is the most classic breakfast drink for residents in northern China, which is made of soybean sticky grinding and has high nutritional content. But although Chen Qiaoqiao grew up in Sichuan, she has another trick for soy milk
The best soy milk is uniform milky white or light yellow, shiny, fragrant, and mellow in taste. But the soy milk made by Chen Qiaoqiao is fancy soy milk, she carefully configured the red dates and wolfberry soy milk, brought it up, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please try it"
Xu Lin saw that the soy milk was bright red in color, but it was sweet and fragrant, and he couldn't help frowning, "What is this?"
Chen Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "This is called red dates and wolfberry soybean milk, nourishing yin and invigorating qi, nourishing blood and soothing the nerves, nourishing the spleen and stomach, clearing heat and detoxifying, I think you seem to be very angry, and I did it for you."
Xu Lin couldn't hear the sarcasm in her words, but he didn't care, picked up the bowl, and tasted the soy milk, but his eyes lit up, he always thought that it was just people's exaggeration, what great craftsmanship can a little woman have, but now it seems that he actually underestimated her
This soy milk is sweet and delicious, because of the addition of red dates, it has a special fragrance, which also makes the taste of this soy milk more slippery and greasy wolfberry is the finishing touch, and the full wolfberry slides into the throat, making the taste rich, it seems that there are really two hands
Xu Lin exclaimed: "Tofu Shih Tzu really lives up to its name, and the Ming people don't say dark words, I am the introduction of Yanqing Liugou tofu to Xu Lin, I have heard the name of Sichuan Jianmen tofu for a long time, but I didn't have a chance to meet, and now the girl has come to this area, it is better for us to have a competition, and score a point."
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart, it turned out that her peers knew this Yanqing Liugou tofu in modern times, and their best skills were soybean tofu for beauty and beauty, black bean tofu for nourishing and nourishing the kidneys, and mung bean tofu for clearing heat and fire. Create a "brazier pot three-color tofu feast".
The hot pot tofu feast is made in one main pot, with bacon with pork belly, cabbage, fresh tofu, frozen tofu, fried tofu, etc. It is characterized by vegetarian-based, meat and vegetarian matching, oily but not greasy. It is surrounded by three auxiliary pots, three small bowls, and six cold dishes with farmhouse characteristics, and takes the meaning of three sheep Kaitai, four flat and eight stable, and six or six major shun.
Unexpectedly, they actually came to the door to provoke Xu Lin Seeing Chen Qiaoqiao silent, he sneered: "Don't the girl dare, or do you think that this Sichuan Jianmen tofu is not as good as us"
Chen Qiaoqiao was excited by this, and she was very angry, she must not embarrass her fathers and fellow villagers in Sichuan, so she said proudly: "I haven't tried one yet, how do I know that I should be superior, you say, how to compare"
What Xu Lin wants is this, "We will set up a ring at the entrance of the government, each of us will take out our unique skills, and ask my parents and fellow villagers to judge"
Chen Qiaoqiao felt that it was very fair, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, it's decided like this"
On the second day, an unprecedented tofu ring match began in Kaiping, and even the major yamen in Kaifeng were alarmed, and the county order of Yanqing County also sent people to watch. I heard that some of them were eaten, and of course everyone flocked to them, and even some celebrities such as Wei Zijin and Song Zimo were invited to judge. That is called a crowd of people The forbidden army knows that there is such a big event in the capital, so it is natural to come to maintain law and order, although the quarrel between Yinhuo and Chen Qiaoqiao is not very pleasant, but Yinhuo is also curious, where did Chen Qiaoqiao learn the craft
Xu Lin took out the clay brazier of the housekeeper, this basin is an ancestral thing, the food cooked is especially delicious, Xu Lin filled the hot basin with all kinds of tofu white, green, black, fried tofu, bacon. The delicious taste in the pot is bubbled by the fire, and the more you cook, the more fragrant it is
The onlookers were seduced by this aroma, and their saliva flowed Xu Lin saw everyone's reaction, and couldn't help but feel a little proud that he hadn't met an opponent yet
After a while, Xu Lin invited everyone to taste. The tofu in the brazier pot is not ordinary tofu, black, white, and green three colors: the mung bean with the function of removing fire and clearing heat is ground out of green tofu, and the black bean tofu that nourishes the kidney and strengthens the body, and the traditional white tofu is matched to form a three-color tofu and put it in the pot. With a chopstick, I picked up a large piece of fried tofu and stuffed it with a mouthful, so tender and fragrant, the tofu here tastes pure, not as bland and tasteless as ordinary tofu. Eat a bite of tofu, and then a piece of Yanqing people's homemade bacon, this kind of pork belly smoked with yellow rice, has a unique flavor, its own meat aroma and the unique taste of bacon overflow in the mouth, and experience the beauty of "teeth and cheeks".
Everyone gave a thumbs up, admiring that they had never eaten such a delicacy, and Xu Lin looked like he was winning. Even Wei Zijin and Song Zimo also sweated two handfuls of sweat, this Xu Lin is indeed not an ordinary person, and he just wants to help Chen Qiaoqiao, because his things are really delicious
Although Yinhuo was maintaining order on the side, seeing that the officials were also full of praise for Xu Lin, she couldn't help but worry about Chen Qiaoqiao, she was so arrogant that she didn't know what to do if she lost
Chen Qiaoqiao saw that everyone was full of praise for Xu Lin, but she didn't panic, because she still had a killer feature
Sichuan Jianmen tofu to modern times, and invented a lot of new dishes, not these ancients can imagine, among them, "Jianmen Pass Three Kingdoms Tofu Banquet" with 18 beautiful shapes, different tastes, color, fragrance, taste of the tofu full banquet also won the gold medal of the cooking competition
