Chapter 106: Tofu

Early the next morning, Jia came out of bed.

"Jiayi, close the door, it's cold. Flower pulled the quilt and covered his head, "Why do you get up so early?" ”

"I'm going to make something to eat for you. With that, he took the door and went out.

As soon as he went out, the cold wind was blowing in his face, Jia Yi couldn't help but shrink his neck, and hurriedly walked a few steps towards the kitchen.

He went to boil some hot water and wash up. After getting up, Jia Yi used to brush his teeth and wash his face first, and if he didn't brush his teeth, he wouldn't drink or eat.

After washing, he came to a large wooden basin, and Jia Yi looked inside, and it was soaked in beans. The beans were soaked last night, and now they have soaked up the water and become two or three times their size.

As soon as Jia Yi reached in, he scooped up a bean and rubbed it vigorously, the skin on the surface of the bean was rubbed off, and the bean was already soaked.

He was going to make some tofu.

In his previous life, Jiayi liked to eat tofu very much. Soft and delicious tofu, can be served cold, can be dipped in chili peppers, dipped in soy sauce, added sugar, can be made with soy milk, eat bean brain, and then there is fresh tofu, and then it is to cook.

When I was a child, my family would start making tofu before the winter and the Chinese New Year was approaching - at that time, the amount of tofu was large, and it was not cost-effective to buy all of it.

At that time, Jia Yi was always very happy, and after the soy milk was ground out, he began to wait. Drink soy milk when boiling soy milk, wait until the soy milk is cooked, and after it is lit with gypsum, you can also eat tofu while it is hot, that is, bean curd, also known as tofu brain.

For the saltiness and sweetness of tofu brain, Jia Yi doesn't care, when I was a child, I liked sweet, but when I got older, I didn't like sweets very much, and I was more salty. It's just that soy milk must be sweet, or it can be without sugar, but salty soy milk really can't be accepted.

After eating water tofu, put the tofu on the door panel, wrap it in steps, put a door panel on it, add a stone to press it tightly, remove the excess water, and it is freshly baked tofu. At this time, you can eat another wave. The newly made tofu, with chili sauce, and soy sauce, eats it in his mouth, the tofu is cold and refreshing, and the chili pepper is slightly spicy (he can't eat too spicy), so with this combination, he can eat a whole bowl.

However, in the past, his parents made tofu, but here, he needs to do it himself, this is his first time making tofu, and he doesn't know if he can order the pulp.

And the beans here are not soybeans, they look a bit like chickpeas, but they don't seem to be, and after they are cooked, they are softer in the mouth, and they seem to be more fatty.

After breakfast, Jiayi found Yimu, scooped up the soaked beans and put them in a new wooden basin, adding some water.

"Teacher~~" He blushed his face and said to Imu, "Can you please help me grind the beans?"

"That's what you asked me to help me with yesterday?"

Kaichi nodded embarrassedly. Its practical stone grinding is also possible, but Jia Yi is lazy, the stone grinding in the winter, not only tired, the water is also cold, if it is outside, the soybean milk will be frozen, how can there be magic to the convenience.

Imu nodded helplessly: "Okay! ”

He really can't do anything about Jiayi, who calls Jiayi's learning good, all the teachers are children who like to learn well, it's easy to teach, and there is a sense of achievement. If you can't teach a person alive or dead, you will doubt whether you are a teacher.

Although Imu is not a teacher, having a student like Jiayi will make him feel that he is not particularly talented in teaching students.

Under Imu's spell, the beans in the pot began to rotate rapidly with water, and soon, the beans gradually decreased, and the pot appeared milky white, and gradually increased.

The beans have turned into soy milk. The magic is convenience, faster than the electric one.

Next, Jiayi uses gauze to strain out the soy milk, and the rest is okara. Okara is also edible and tastes good, although it is generally used to feed pigs.

Jiayi left a ball down, if it weren't for the okara that was not fresh and delicious, he would have left all the okara behind. In winter, there are few vegetables, and okara is a good supplement. Although the name is slag, it is actually very nutritious, especially more fiber and minerals.

The remaining bean dregs, Jiayi is going to feed the cow, this thing is much more nutritious than drafting, this cow has lost fat so much, it needs to be replenished more.

After the soy milk was filtered out, Jia Sheng caught fire, washed the inner pot, and began to cook the soy milk.

"Is this what you're going to do? bean soup? Is this the juice strained from the beans, or is it called bean soup?" said Flor, "is this too much? ”

"Where is this going, it's not good, and this is called soy juice, it's not good, it's called soy milk, and it feels stronger." "Jiayi has never drunk bean juice, it is said that it is made with mung beans, which has a peculiar taste, and not everyone is used to drinking it. He just thought that it would be good to use a name that he was familiar with, and it would be convenient for the author to write it.

"Alright, our soy milk is open, Flower, we can cease fire. As he spoke, the soy milk was boiled, and Jia Yi hurriedly said to Flower.

Flower came out from behind the boil and asked, "Is that all right?"

"Of course not, but now you can drink it. ”

Jiayi filled everyone with a bowl of soy milk, took out a jar of syrup, and handed it to them.

He added some sugar himself, tasted it, and felt that the soy milk was smoother and the taste was richer, and he felt that the water was a little less. But now that the soy milk is boiled, you can't add any more water, otherwise the taste will not be good.

"It tastes good with sugar, it looks a bit like milk, but it's still not as good as milk. Daier said while drinking, although the evaluation of soy milk is not high, but still drink it with relish.

Probably because it's made by Jiayi, there will be a flavor bonus. The dishes made by Jia Yi are now considered to have a good reputation, especially among the three people on the scene. All the dishes he makes, people will unconsciously find their own highlights, just like the articles or paintings of celebrities, and unconsciously over-interpret.

Or even far-fetched.

After Jiayi drank the soy milk, he put some soy milk in a small basin, let it cool, and melted some gypsum in it. There are many materials that can be used to order tofu, in addition to gypsum, there are also those with brine, some with fermented soybean milk, and modern ones with glucose and inner fat, which are said to be more tender.

Among all of these, Jia Yi will use plaster, because when I was a child, I used gypsum to make tofu at home. There is brine, after all, there is a salt lake here to make salt, but the brine is not as healthy as gypsum, which also contains calcium, which can replenish calcium.

Speaking of calcium supplementation, in fact, the main components of egg shells and lime wall skin are calcium carbonate, which can also be supplemented with calcium - the main ingredient of many calcium tablets is calcium carbonate.

When the temperature of the soy milk in the pot is slightly lower, Jia Yi pours the soy milk used for the syrup into the pot, stirs well while pouring, and when it is done, he covers the pot.

"What is this for?" asked Della curiously, "The dishes you are cooking now are becoming more and more incomprehensible, so complicated, if you don't know, you would think you are doing some magic experiment." ”

In fact, the legend says that soy milk is made during alchemy, and alchemy should also be regarded as a kind of oriental magic. To say that making tofu is a magic experiment, but in fact, there is no problem at all.

Imu and Flower were also very curious, but they couldn't help but ask, ready to see what Jia Yi was going to do, looking at this complicated appearance, it made people look forward to it.

About a quarter of an hour later, Kaichi lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the tofu was ready.

Flower followed him to the boil, saw the tofu in the pot, and said in surprise, "What is this? Jiayi, this is what you are going to do?"

Jia nodded, took a small bowl out, and began to taste. I don't know what the taste of tofu made from beans from this other world is, but I think it shouldn't taste bad, after all, there is no problem when you drink soy milk, and it feels like the flavor is better.

He tasted it, only to feel that the tofu brain was smooth and delicious, and there was a strong fat fragrance, he took a closer look, and found that there were faint patterns on the tofu, which was composed of strips of fat. It seems that the oil content of this bean is indeed very high.

Next, just break the tofu and press out the excess water.
