In the face of the annoyance and anger of the shopkeeper Hu, Tao Li'er was indifferent, she also looked around, in fact, there is nothing delicious in this Huai'an, the cooking skills are average, and the cooking skills can only be regarded as average, most of them are boiling, stir-frying, steaming, and many things will not be.

Tao Li'er looked at the appearance of the shopkeeper Hu's face was about to be angry with herself, and she knew that it was time for her to make a move.

"Shopkeeper Hu doesn't believe me?"

Shopkeeper Hu sneered: "Girl, let's go back, otherwise it won't be good when it's late." ”

Tao Li'er got up, moved her fingers, and then said: "If you don't mind, I can show you two hands, you know, there are mountain people outside this mountain, and if you see it with your own eyes, you will know that what I said is true." ”

Shopkeeper Hu then remembered that Tao Li'er was here to hire a cook, and a lot of them were waiting for this moment.

"The girl's game of chess is big enough, even I have been circled."

Tao Li'er was not angry, but just made provocative remarks.

"The little girl asked the shopkeeper if he dared to give it a try to see if I was bragging, as for the process, it doesn't matter, the main thing is whether I can make a dish that convinces you."

Tao Li'er said, looking at the shopkeeper Hu provocatively, the shopkeeper Hu hadn't been so provoked for a long time, so indifferent, and his heart was also aroused to some dissatisfaction, and he got up immediately.

"Okay, then the girl will let me see your craftsmanship, if the girl can't make a dish that suits my appetite, I will go back with the girl today, and ask your parents for an explanation."

Tao Li'er nodded confidently, Shopkeeper Hu snorted, and took Tao Li'er to the kitchen, Shopkeeper Hu pointed to the kitchen and said: "Since the test is the girl's cooking skills, then this material can only be vegetarian, this is a test of skills, the radish and greens in it, the seasoning is arbitrary, I will watch it here, you can make a dish casually." ”

Tao Li'er originally wanted to let the shopkeeper go out, but if she didn't show a little new things, the shopkeeper wouldn't believe herself at all.

So she let the shopkeeper now at the door, she glanced at the kitchen things, directly fell in love with a piece of snow-white tofu, and then looked at the seasoning, then make a mapo tofu, look at the figure of the shopkeeper, presumably it should be a favorite food.

So roll up your sleeves and start, first of all, you have to prepare the ingredients, Tao Li'er just looked around, and found that the better thing is that there is still soft tofu, but some accessories are not, such as soup stock and rice wine, as well as the sesame oil and water starch, but fortunately, the basic onion garlic vinegar and soy sauce are still available, but I don't know whether it is light soy sauce or dark soy sauce, in short, I can't manage so much first, today's exam, deal with it first.

In the future, if you have the conditions, see if you can make some necessary condiments yourself.

Tao Li'er first washed all the ingredients, cut the tender tofu into pieces, chopped the garlic, cut the green onion into chopped green onions for later use, Tao Li'er knife skills are extremely fast, the technique is skilled, it looks quite like that, Hu Shopkeeper felt a little strange in his heart.

After Tao Li'er prepared the materials here, she looked at the stove with some hesitation...... She really can't, although Lin has taught, but she can't control the fire well, so she will add firewood to the fire, which can burn the pot and waste firewood, and the small fire can directly extinguish the fire, and the Lin family simply didn't let her into the kitchen, so Tao Li'er directly set her eyes on the shopkeeper Hu.

Shopkeeper Hu felt a little bad in his heart, and sure enough, Tao Li'er directly proposed: "Shopkeeper Hu, it's okay for you to stand there, come and help me light the fire, this dish has high requirements for heat." ”

Tao Li'er said nonsense seriously, the shopkeeper Hu looked at Tao Li'er's posture and knew that she had two brushes, and he also loved to eat, if it was for a delicacy, it would be nothing to burn the fire, and he went in expressionlessly, Tao Li'er breathed a sigh of relief, and directly called: "Burn the fire first." ”

In the face of Tao Li'er's unceremonious command, the shopkeeper Hu thought that he was too lazy to worry about a little girl, so he really lit a fire, Tao Li'er scooped water in, waited for the water to boil, added a spoonful of salt, and then put the tofu cubes in.

If you add salt to cook tofu, you can force out some of the moisture in the tofu, so that not only the taste of the tofu is more elastic and not easy to break, but also the beany smell can be removed, and the tofu itself can also have some salty taste.

The tofu didn't have to be boiled for too long, Tao Li'er estimated that it had been boiled for two or three minutes, and then she scooped it up and put it in a porcelain basin and continued to soak it with hot water in the pot to prevent the tofu pieces from sticking to each other.

Then scoop the water in the pot clean, and then take advantage of the hot pot to put down the bean paste, and let the shopkeeper change the low heat to fry the red oil, Tao Li'er is really very glad that there is bean paste in this Donglin country, if there are no other seasonings, but the taste is slightly worse, but if there is no bean paste. This mapo tofu can't be made at all, so Tao Li'er is quite lucky.

After the bean paste is fried, put the minced garlic into an appropriate amount and stir-fry, the whole kitchen has slowly filled the fragrance, Hu shopkeeper is looking forward to the next dish, there is no broth, Tao Li'er is not panicked, pour water directly into the pot, just enough to submerge the tofu.

Then put the chili noodles into the pot, stir well, put in a spoonful of soy sauce, half a spoon of sugar, stir well, the color of the soup comes out, the sauce is red, it looks like there is an appetite, Tao Li'er herself is also secreting saliva, this crossed, it is sad to say, I haven't eaten a delicious meal.

Tao Li'er concentrated, took the tofu in the water and scooped it up and put it into the prepared soup, this pot can not be moved, originally in modern times, this mapo tofu to this step is to directly lift the pot, shake carefully, so that the tofu is evenly coated with the soup, but this cauldron obviously can't move.

Tao Li'er can't, she can only choose the second way, pinching the wooden spoon, gently pushing the tofu block in one direction, stirring it indiscriminately, the tender tofu may be directly damaged, the taste has little impact, but it affects the beauty, Chinese food requires both color and flavor.

Then cook for two or three minutes, let the tofu taste, and then put in an appropriate amount of peppercorn noodles, the next step was originally to thicken, but unfortunately there is no water starch, can only be regretfully skipped, and then drip a little old vinegar along the edge of the pot, which can improve the flavor, sesame oil is also saved, but the taste should not be much worse.

Then you can get out of the pot, scoop it out carefully, put it in a large soup bowl, sprinkle some chopped green onions, mapo tofu, and that's it.

"Shopkeeper Hu, try it."

Tao Li'er took the mapo tofu in her hand and put it on the stove, and then took a pair of chopsticks to the shopkeeper Hu, who had already glued his eyes to the bowl of tofu at this time.

I couldn't wait to take the chopsticks in Tao Li'er's hand and try them.
