Chapter 31 Qing officials judge the case and the people's hearts are directed to Pingqiao Tofu is known as the river
But he said that the shopkeeper said loudly: "Pingqiao tofu is here." ”
The guests didn't know that the new dish launched by Boss Song today was actually a dish of tofu, and the guests who had passed three rounds of wine saw that there was no trace of heat in the blue bowl on the table.
"Hey, what's this dish? The tofu is really finely cut. The guests on the third floor exclaimed.
"Really." One of the guests picked up a spoon and scooped it into his mouth.
Everyone looked at him curiously, only to see that he swallowed this mouthful, he couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't swallow it, and the embarrassed expression made everyone puzzled.
"You must not drink it immediately, pour it on the lard and burn it." Boss Song then went upstairs to say.
Only then did everyone understand what was going on with this benevolent brother just now, and they dared to feel that his mouthful just now was so hot that it was hard to swallow.
Boss Wu looked at the new dish in front of him - Pingqiao tofu, and to make Pingqiao tofu, he needed to prepare raw materials: 300 grams of tender tofu, 50 grams of Shuifa sea cucumber, 25 grams of dried shrimp, 50 grams of cooked chicken breast, 25 grams of mushrooms, 25 grams of dried scallops, 200 grams of chicken broth, 15 grams of green onions, 10 grams of ginger, 20 grams of Shao wine, 10 grams of salt, 3 grams of monosodium glutamate, 25 grams of starch, 15 grams of sesame oil, 15 grams of green garlic, and 100 grams of broth.
To make it, first put the whole piece of tofu in a pot of cold water and boil until it is slightly boiling to remove the beany yellow syrup, remove it and slice it into a bird's tongue shape and put it in hot chicken broth. After repeated twice, the chicken breast, mushrooms, and sea cucumber are all cut into tofu-sized slices.
Wash the dried shrimp and soak it in warm water. Wash the scallops, remove the old tendons, put them in a bowl, add green onion and ginger, Shao wine, water, and steam them thoroughly in the basket to take out. Heat the wok on the fire, put the oil, put in the ingredients, stock, scallop juice, after boiling, the tofu is fished into the pot, add refined salt, Shao wine, flavor, essence, after boiling, thicken with starch, pour in sesame oil, put it in a bowl, sprinkle with minced green garlic.
After the tofu is made, it is as white as pure jade, as fine as clotted fat, and has a soft texture. After a bowl of good Pingqiao tofu is made, there is no heat, but it is very hot, its shape, color, and taste are different, and there is a feeling of eating but not greasy, and the aftertaste is endless.
At this moment, the VIPs on the second and third floors scooped a spoonful of Pingqiao tofu, the white tofu in the spoon was as thin as wings, the layer of golden small grinding sesame oil was fragrant, and pieces of green garlic leaves dotted the bowl of tofu.
"Wow, the entrance is smooth, white as pure jade, fine as clotted fat, and the texture is soft." The recognized Huaiyang cuisine taster on Hexia Street commented.
At this time, each guest on the third floor took a spoonful of tofu, and the guests blew the tofu in the spoon with their mouths, and the fragrance of sesame oil wafted the whole floor in an instant.
"Wow, that's delicious." This said.
I didn't say much about that, I just scooped another spoonful, and after savoring it, I couldn't help nodding......
"Who's in the hall?" Lord Huo saw that the official brought a man, this person had oily hair and a powdery face, and his two eyes entered the lobby to look back, and saw the adults in the hall sitting high, kneeling on the ground.
"Hexia Town's Estimated Clothes Street Qian Er." Qian's legs trembled.
"Bold Qian Er, the boatman sued you for treachery, but is there such a thing?" There was a crackling sound, and the echo was like thunder.
"My lord is aware of it, but I don't." Qian Er denied it, and his eyes rolled sharply.
"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, come on, bring witnesses."
A woman walked in outside the hall and knelt under the hall, Qian Eryi saw that the woman knew that something was wrong: "The folk woman Qin Cuihua has seen an adult." ”
"Qin Cuihua, a folk woman, tell me what you know to the official in this hall."
"Yes, sir. Qian Er and Li Zhenjiang traded women just fishing, I heard what they said clearly, Qian Er asked him to go to Yiyi Street to get silver, but only gave ten taels, obviously they said twenty taels, Li Zhenjiang returned to the boat and sulked, fortunately met this young master. ”
Listening to Qin Cuihua's narration, Master Huo was filled with righteous indignation, and he angrily threw down the bamboo stick: "The profiteer Qian Er bullied the market, bullied the merchants, tarnished the reputation of the merchants in Shanyang County, and ordered the return of the silver taels owed. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the rod is responsible for twenty boards! ”
Qian Eryi panicked when he heard this: "The adults will spare their lives, and the small ones will make up for the silver, and please ask the adults to waive the board." As he spoke, he took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Li Zhenjiang.
"The board is free? Qian Er, it's hard to become the law of the Ming Dynasty, you set it, joke! Enforce the law immediately. Lord Huo's face sank.
A wide bench was set up in the lobby, and Qian Er was escorted down, only to hear the crackling sound of the board, and Qian Er's screams came one after another......
"The adults handle the case impartially, and the blessings of the people of Shanyang are also!" Young Master Shen handed over to Lord Xie.
"If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." Master Huo praised and said, "The young master of the Shen family has spoken up righteously, and the people of Shanyang are just like you, and the county will enjoy peace forever." ”
After leaving the county office, Li Zhenjiang took out a tael of silver and said: "Young Master Shen, you and I have never known each other, and if you didn't stand up for me today, I'm afraid I ......"
"Put it away quickly, if I encounter something in Jiangnan in the future, you can just help me?" Young Master Shen looked at the sun, "Send me back to the river!" ”
"My little young master held a full moon wine today, and you ...... it," Xiaolong blamed.
"This ......," the boatman looked guilty.
"It's okay, it's okay, there's my father!"
Going against the current, the boat was elated, he sang the Jiangnan silk and bamboo tune while rocking the oar, and the tactful and melodious Wu Nong's soft words made Young Master Shen like a dream, as if he had come to the fascinating Jiangnan.
Unconsciously, the royal wharf under the river arrived, bidding farewell to the boatman, the master and servant went ashore, and the familiar smell hit, and I felt even more hungry.
Young Master Shen looked northward, the prosperity of Hexia Town at a glance, he was amazed, and later Wu Chengen described in his poem "Autumn Xing": "Huaishui wind blows thousands of willows, high-rise buildings and swallows know prosperity." The waves are drifting and the mother is cast into the golden land, and the sea is near the immortals. The day view of thousands of trees through the tribute, Yunjing Shuangguo leads to the Qing Gong. The pearl is not Bo Mei Gao Fu, and the wine Maotang rock osmanthus is respected. ”
In the south of Qingjiangpu, in a large area on the west bank of the canal, many shipyards have been set up by province, and the Ministry of Industry has set up a division here to send officials to supervise the construction of unified wide-bottomed ships. Most of the materials used by the shipyard for shipbuilding are supplied by the river market. Master Shen ran a boat-building business in the alley, and the Shen family became famous.
Naturally, Hexia Town also distributes local specialties such as Huaihong cloth, mung bean wine, leather drums, gilded bronze ware, etc. Wu Chengen's father ran a Caiwen restaurant in the area of Datong Lane on Yiyi Street.
In addition, the restaurant also sells locally produced anchovies and sea bass, as well as the later Wenlou crab roe soup dumplings and county sesame oil tea dumplings.
Of course, the biggest business in Hexia is the salt industry, and the streets and alleys are inhabited by salt merchants who have made a lot of money. The salt produced in the coastal areas of northern Jiangsu is collectively referred to as Huai salt, and its output and quality rank first in the world.
"Young Master, you're finally here!" Boss Song greeted him with a smile on his face, "Quick, your son-in-law is waiting for you to catch Zhou!" ”
