Stinky tofu in modern times, is a highly sought after snack, basically as long as there are Chinese, there must be such a taste, smell, eat fragrant, if you don't eat every three or five times, you will even miss this taste.
Different regions have derived different flavors, among which Changsha stinky tofu is the main representative. There are various varieties of stinky tofu, and the sauce of stinky tofu is also quite different, taking Changsha stinky tofu as an example, Changsha stinky tofu mostly uses soup and chili sauce as the main seasoning.
Changsha stinky tofu is characterized by the first smell of the smell, and the smell is attractive and attractive. The differences in stinky tofu regions are mainly reflected in the differences in brine, and the brine ingredients of Changsha stinky tofu, the color of Changsha stinky tofu is mostly black.
Nanjing stinky tofu, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, fragrant in taste, this kind of stinky tofu is cut into small pieces, skewered on bamboo skewers, brushed with chili sauce, sesame paste and other sauces, the taste is very delicious and chewy.
Hakka stinky tofu, in Fujian Fujian Liancheng Hakka, the local people like to use a tank to collect snow in winter, add straw ash and some condiments to the snow water in the next summer, and then use this to make brine to soak fresh tofu, take it out and wash it after a day, pour sesame oil, green pepper, garlic paste, coriander powder, soy sauce and a little salt.
Shaoxing stinky tofu, Shaoxing stinky tofu is crispy and tender, salty and fresh, delicious, fragrant and smelly.
Jiang Ning still remembers these materials, as for whether it can be made, it still needs to be experimented, the most important of which is brine.
This afternoon, Jiang Ning said his thoughts to Liu Sisi in the yard, and simplified these production methods, the varieties of different regions naturally can't be done, the current Hangzhou and the Hangzhou he knows is not the same, its latitude has increased at least several degrees, Qinling is in the south of Zhejiang, the easiest way is to make it in a unified way, and then use marinade seasoning to distinguish it, and then continue to expand.
But this kind of thing that sounds like a stink, Liu Sisi is extremely repulsive, she has always dealt with rouge gouache, but now she has to be accompanied by "stinky", everyone has a love for beauty, let alone her.
But seeing that Jiang Ning was full of praise for this thing, Liu Sisi was suffering from no way, and after some struggle, there was only one way.
Jiang Ning wrote down the production method and the preparation of the brine, it is close to the end of the year, it is estimated that there will be large and small matters at home, before the fifteenth day of the first month, it should be able to be in time.
"Your pots and bowls are a little simpler, you buy some good-looking ones, classify them, and sell them better when the time comes." Jiang Ning said: "It's just a personal suggestion, just for reference." ”
Liu Sisi also thought about replacing a batch, but it has not yet opened, such a large investment, once she loses money, she can't afford the price of losing all her money, but she still nodded: "Well, I want to buy some good ones, but I was busy some time ago, so I didn't think of these." ”
"Well, if you don't know anything, it's okay to go to the mansion and ask me or ask me at the academy." Jiang Ning added.
"So, thank you, Childe." Liu Sisi was slightly blessed.
Jiang Ning smiled, took the garbage out casually, and threw it at the corner of the street, it was already close to dusk, the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and tomorrow would be the New Year.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw a carriage parked, and there were eight officials around, and they were about to enter, but they saw a group of people walking out of the house.
"Taigong stays, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the old mother will be blamed when I go back. Haha...... "The man headed by him is dressed in an official uniform, and there is a landscape painted on the red suit, which should be above the five grades and the official position below the three grades, and Hangzhou Taishou is the third grade, and the general is from the third grade, and there are eight guards in front of him, and the official position should not be small.
Jiang Ning hid to the side, and it was good if he couldn't see it.
The old lady personally sent this person out, which can also show the importance of this person to the Wang family. The Wang family can achieve the current scale, indispensable to deal with the government, Hangzhou city Taishou and the general are the first to bear the brunt, but also heard that there is a distant relative, in Luoyang as the son of the country to sacrifice wine, at the beginning of the Wang family's business, to the Wang family at the beginning of the business, to the Wang family is a great help, after all, it is the official of the imperial capital, write a letter to Hangzhou, the local officials will still give some face, help is not needed, as long as you don't look for trouble, it is already burning high incense.
Looking at this middle-aged man, there is a degree of svenness between his gestures, it should be the country's sacrificial wine. Among the people who saw them off, Wang Ruoyan was naturally among them, Wang Ruoyan walked to the back of the crowd, and when everyone entered the mansion, Wang Ruoyan turned around and went towards Jiang Ning.
"Xianggong, why did you come back?" Wang Ruoyan asked: "Uncle Lu asked about you, but I didn't find it, but fortunately I didn't see it, otherwise there would be a few problems to make it difficult for you." ”
"Is that the one just now?" Jiang Ning pointed to the carriage that disappeared around the corner of the street.
As they spoke, the two of them walked towards the house.
"Yes." Wang Ruoyan and Jiang Ning stood side by side: "Today's national sacrifice wine, last year from the three products, this year back is a provincial relative, but also a return to the hometown, his mother and grandfather are cousins, so there are also relatives." ”
"I heard my father say that when the Wang family began to engage in business, his mother, that is, his cousin, was taken care of by his father, so in the officialdom, there was no less help, at least Hangzhou Taishou and the General's Mansion did not find trouble with our family, although there have been storms over the years, but on the whole, it has been smooth sailing, so after coming back, I came to visit my grandfather."
"Listening to you, other businessmen have suffered a lot?" Jiang Ning said with a smile.
Wang Ruoyan sighed and said: "Not really, but it's almost the same, the Yang family can have its current status, it is said that there are relatives who serve in the Tiance General's Mansion, one of the pillars of the Eight Kingdoms, and the general takes care of it, but the annual expenses in this regard are also quite large." ”
"Most of the He family, the Sun family, and the Han family are also like this, and they have more or less to do with Taishou and the general, but because of this Uncle Lu, we have some relationship with the household department, and maintain a balanced state with both parties."
"By the way, tomorrow is the New Year, and the younger generation will have a smaller family banquet in the evening." Wang Ruoyan reminded.
Entering the garden, the sunset is gone, only the garden is dotted with red lanterns like daylight, reflected on the snow, it is particularly dazzling, close to the New Year, the home is naturally big fish and meat, Wang Zihan also arrived at the garden, they had dinner together, took the hand stove, sat in the garden of the courtyard, said some interesting things, and the two went back to rest.
The crescent moon fetched hot water, brought it to Jiang Ning's house, washed his feet, and went to sleep.
The crescent moon went out and ran back again: "Uncle...... ...... tomorrow night."
Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled when he saw this: "What, how did you swallow and spit out, is there something wrong?" ”
"Tomorrow night, Miss's cousin and cousin will be here, I heard...... They want to test my uncle, they all blame me, if I hadn't taken out that poem, my uncle wouldn't have had so much trouble......"
"Hehe, this matter, don't worry, since I can write it, I am naturally not afraid of them taking the exam, whoever wants to come, let him come, uncle, I will accept all the orders......"
"But ......"
"Go to sleep......" Jiang Ning almost said these four words in a commanding tone, it was already winter, but the crescent moon was wearing a thicker nightgown at the moment, which was not close-fitting, standing at the door, if it was cold, I am afraid that this year would be very good.
"Okay......"
