Chapter 116 Tofu Xishi

In the fish, he actually ate something like tofu!

He had taught three of them the technique of making tofu, and he also asked Tiedan to make a mouthful of graphite at home, which was specially used to make tofu.

He Shuang has the highest cooking skills and has always been prepared by her family's meals, so she also learned the fastest and best. Even Song Tianming praised the tofu that he grinded out.

But if it were just tofu and sea bass, Song Tianming would not have been so surprised.

This thing that tastes similar to tofu but has a difference is the fermented bean curd that was quite famous in the previous life!

Song Tianming quickly pounded the fish's belly with chopsticks twice, and then he realized that the fish's belly was filled with fermented bean curd!

No wonder the taste is so special. It turns out that fermented bean curd is seasoned inside!

This time, Song Tianming did not pick up the fish, but instead picked up a piece of fermented bean curd and tasted it carefully.

Although there is a lack of sufficient seasoning, fermented bean curd only has the salty taste and the taste of tofu itself, and it is still incomparable to industrial fermented bean curds that have sufficient ingredients in their previous lives.

However, after the fish itself is matched with the umami flavor, the fermented bean curd is fully mobilized, leaving a fragrance after eating, and the aftertaste is long.

Looking at Song Tianming's expression of enjoyment, He Shuang asked with a smile: "Husband, are you still working on this skill?"

"Make it? Shuang'er, you're too modest!"

Song Tianming picked up another piece of fermented bean curd with chopsticks and looked at He Shuang again, half surprised and half admiringly, "How did you find this kind of ingredient?"

He Shuang then said: "This was also accidental, that day..."

It turned out that one day last month, after He Shuang grinds the tofu at home, he felt that the graphite was covered with tofu dregs, which was too dirty. Moreover, the tofu itself had to be kept in a cool state. The tofu dregs were left outside for a long time and had long been spoiled and could not be eaten.

So she found a jar that had been filled with pickled vegetables, packed all the tofu and dregs, and prepared to pour it into the field to water the vegetables.

But at that time, there was something to do in the workshop, so she put the jar on the ground at the door and prepared to come back and clean up.

Unexpectedly, after this busyness, I forgot about this matter.

A few days later, He Shuang came back and found that the vegetable jar at the door had been overturned by several wild dogs. The salty water of pickled vegetables and tofu dregs inside were sprinkled all over the floor.

He Shuang wanted to clean up, but found that more and more wild dogs came as they smelled the smell, all gathered together, licking the tofu on the ground, and she couldn't even drive away with a broom!

She felt a little strange. These wild dogs have always been afraid of people and will not come to the villagers to ask for food. Why is it so abnormal today?

After observing for a while, she realized that the problem must be the ones that have to be the tofu!

This thing seems to be a delicious dish to a dog?

After having this idea, He Shuang had a sudden idea and prepared to do it himself to see if he could make another jar.

She found a few pieces of tofu that she could not eat for a long time, and used pickled pickles to marinate the tofu for three days. Then she put the jar at the door of her house and waited for the wild dog to come.

Sure enough, the wild dogs came over quickly as they smelled the smell and swept away the tofu in the jar!

He Shuang immediately realized that the things in this jar were not simple!

She decided to try it herself, what exactly does it taste like!

So she found some fresh tofu and marinated it again, and then gave the prepared tofu to the female workers in the workshop to taste it!

Unexpectedly, it received unanimous praise!

This made He Shuang overjoyed and conducted a more in-depth study on this dish.

After researching, she found that this dish was amazing!

Tofu is a good thing. Xiahe County knows the deliciousness of this thing, but not many people are willing to make it or buy it.

The most important thing is that this thing is too difficult to preserve.

It must be placed in a cool place, and it is best to seal it with water so that you can last for two more days.

If you can't eat it for two days, the tofu will become sour and astringent and you will not be able to put your mouth in it.

Therefore, people can only make the amount they eat on the same day.

Eat and cook once, it is really troublesome, and almost no one has so much spare time.

In addition, it is not easy to store, so the price rises, so everyone is looking for something new, and no one really takes tofu seriously.

The same is true in Xiahe County. In fact, many people have figured out the techniques of making tofu, but there are very few people who are really willing to do it, and it is also because of this reason.

However, this "pickled tofu" is different!

Using the pickling technique, tofu can be kept for a long time without breaking!

Even the tofu that everyone thinks is broken can still be eaten after a series of treatments such as marinating and hair removal, and even has a unique flavor!

This discovery made the villagers very excited and followed suit, and all households started making pickled tofu!

After all, tofu has high nutritional value. Men can eat two bowls of tofu soup and one bowl of rice tofu, which can be full of energy and work for the afternoon, which is more effective than eating meat!

But the price is cheaper than meat!

Two pounds of soybeans cost three cents, you can grind half a pound of tofu and make pickled tofu, which is enough for the family to eat for a day and have leftovers!

For the same price, you can only buy one or two pork, which is not enough for one person to eat!

Although the villagers in Dongpan Village are not as short of food and drink as before, the habit of thrift is still retained.

As soon as pickled tofu was released, every household prepared soybeans and graphite, and tofu was officially popularized.

When they saw He Shuang, they also greeted him enthusiastically, praising her as "the good wife of the Song family"!

He Shuang is also extremely proud of this.

This simple dish not only gave my husband a face, but also changed the living habits of the people!

After hearing this, Song Tianming nodded repeatedly.

"Good dish, it's really a good dish." He understood a little, what He Shuang meant to make this dish.

This is not only a new dish, but also tells Song Tianming that the days in Dongpan Township are getting more and more prosperous.

The small fermented bean curd carries the lives of every household.

He Shuang also took a bite, with a proud face: "Husband, we didn't embarrass you, are we?"

Song Tianming stood up and picked up a piece of tofu for each of the three girls: "If you have a good wife at home, what else can your husband ask for?"

Then, Song Tianming discussed the making technique of pickled tofu with He Shuang.

At present, the production process of this fermented bean curd is relatively simple, and the pickled vegetables are used.

However, fermented bean curd has developed thousands of years in its previous life, and many of them have evolved, many of which can be used now.

"Shuang'er, have you tried to marinate tofu with wine?"

"Use wine?"

He Shuang really never thought about this. After all, she is a woman's family and basically doesn't drink alcohol, so she never thought about that.

But when Song Tianming reminded him, He Shuang found that this was indeed a good way!

"Weifu recently tried new dishes in restaurants. Many dishes have started to add wine to season them. The effect is very good, especially fish..."

Song Tianming knocked on the sea bass on the table: "The fish itself has a strong fishy smell. In the past, they were marinated with onions and ginger to remove the fishy smell. However, for a long time, the effect is not ordinary, and it is easy to cover the fish itself with umami flavor.

But after adding wine, not only does the fishy smell be removed, but the umami flavor is also preserved."

He Shuang's eyes shone and nodded repeatedly after hearing this!

Cheng Susu suddenly realized: "No wonder my husband set the price of the dish so high. It turns out that the dish has already added the drunken flower wine!"

Song Tianming nodded: "Otherwise, how can we attract those nobles and nobles to visit again and again?

The restaurant chefs in Beijing are no worse than ours, but they don’t have these new things. This is our advantage!”

Then he turned to look at He Shuang: "When I go back this time, I will add Shuang'er, your pickled tofu, to the recipe on the first floor of the wine. I want this dish to be famous in the capital!"

"Is this... really OK?"

"Why not? In the future, this east plate of pickled tofu will definitely become a famous dish in Daqian. Maybe it can be passed on to the palace for His Majesty to enjoy it!

"I can't guarantee it in the future, Shuang'er, you are our Daqian's tofu Xishi!"

He Shuang was completely shocked.

She made this pickled tofu just to make everyone eat it and save money on buying meat. She never thought that this dish could have such a great influence!

But...Who is Xi Shi?
