Chapter 66: Salty or sweet, only primary school students take multiple choice questions
When Li Xiang ordered tofu, he used plaster of paris. Following the instructions of his grandmother and third wife, he knocked off a small piece of plaster, crushed it, and mixed it with water to make a gypsum slurry.
There is no such thing as precise weighing in rural areas, so the amount to put is based on experience. Li Xiang estimated that the ratio of gypsum to soy milk is about 1:300~500.
Sprinkle the melted gypsum slurry evenly into the "Jiang Basin", stir it gently with a long-handled stainless steel iron spoon, close the lid, and after a while, you can see that the original soy milk has "changed" into smooth, white and tender milk. Tofu brain.
This is southern tofu, which is whiter and more tender than northern tofu. The sweet tofu that sweeties eat is usually southern tofu. Because compared to salty tofu, sweet tofu has higher requirements for the "tender" quality of tofu.
In fact, Li Xiang has eaten both kinds of tofu and thinks that each has its own flavor and both are good. However, the salty tofu has a slightly stronger taste, and many ingredients such as soy sauce, chopped green onion, coriander, chili oil, dried shrimps, crushed peanuts, etc. are added to the tofu. It doesn't matter if you are a little older.
The tofu must be eaten while it is tender and hot. If left for a longer time, it will turn into old tofu and the taste will not be good.
Li Xiang made a salty dish for his grandma. He knew her taste and only ate salty ones. He used the authentic Sichuan recipe, adding minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, red oil chili, minced Sichuan peppercorns, minced bean sprouts, and pickled mustard. Dice, sesame oil, chopped green onion, fried soybeans.
Because I want to make tofu today and try tofu brain, all these ingredients were prepared yesterday, otherwise I would not be able to get them in time.
With Li Xiang's attitude, he could even open a store.
Some people will use peanuts instead of fried soybeans, but in fact, if you put peanuts in tofu brain, the taste of peanuts is not as good as fried soybeans.
Only the authentic people of Sichuan Province know the gold content of this bowl, which is spicy and fragrant, showing the Sichuan flavor.
Of course, in fact, even within Sichuan Province, different places have different ways of doing it, but the salty and spicy flavor is indispensable.
Some also like to add crispy meat and some secret soup.
"Third Po, do you want something salty or something sweet?" Li Xiang asked.
The third wife was so greedy that she quickly said: "Give me a bowl of something sweet, put more sugar in it."
"Okay!" Li Xiang quickly brought the third wife a large bowl of white, tender and steaming tofu puffs, and added five spoons of fine white sugar.
It looks like a big bowl, and the portion is quite generous, but the tofu is too tender and has too high water content.
"Cai'er, where are you?" Li Xiang looked at Jiang Cai'er.
Jiang Cai'er was still holding a mobile phone to take pictures, so she blinked her eyes, raised her eyebrows, and said playfully: "Elementary school students only do multiple-choice questions, of course I want both!"
"Okay, Your Highness the Saint!" Li Xiang moved quickly and made two more bowls of tofu, one sweet and one salty. The portions were as big as grandma and third wife's.
"It's too much, brother, what if I can't finish it?"
Li Xiangzui looked outside and said, "There is a dog at home."
"No, you can eat what I can't finish!"
"Okay, okay, it won't be wasted anyway." Li Xiang also made himself two bowls, one salty and one sweet.
If you can eat, eat more. Why choose and choose?
Jiang Cai'er ate the salty one first, and saw that the tender and white tofu puffs were covered with mellow sauce, crispy fried soybeans, red oil chili peppers with strong stamina, and various diced vegetables and chopped green onions dotted around them. Just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.
Take a spoonful and open your mouth wide enough to swallow the tofu with solid ingredients. The tofu is soft and tough after entering the mouth. Your teeth slowly penetrate the soft tofu and you can feel the aroma, spicy, numbing, and... The salty, fresh, mellow, layered taste burst out in her mouth, tightly grabbing her taste buds, as if giving her lips and teeth a heavy blow!
This delicious taste made Jiang Cai'er couldn't help but praise loudly after just one bite, her eyes turned into crescent moons: "It's so delicious! This is the most delicious tofu bread I have ever eaten! I will never forget it. The kind!”
"Haha, do you want to be so exaggerated? Why do I feel like you are flattering me?"
“Really, it’s so delicious.”
Jiang Cai'er finished a large bowl of salty tofu puffs quickly, and then tried the sweet one. I have to say that after eating the heavy tofu, "rinsing your mouth" with the light and sweet tofu puffs, the taste is completely different. Because sweet tofu has fewer ingredients and only white sugar is added, the taste level is not as good as that of salty tofu, but what stands out is that it is light and sweet.
If salty tofu is like an experienced lady or young woman, then sweet tofu is like pure white moonlight.
Eating sweet tofu is smooth, tender and sweet, just like first love.
Li Xiang also cooked two large bowls. As for Jiang Cai'er, she was never picky about her food, had no scruples, and was easy to feed. In the future, at the end of the world, you will have strong adaptability.
In fact, as long as it was made by Li Xiang, Jiang Caier wanted to take a bite.
For example, Jiang Cai'er also wanted to have a drink of the snake and centipede wine that Li Xiang brewed. She smashed it in her mouth, wanting to taste it, but Li Xiang refused to let her drink it, saying that he was afraid that it would affect her intelligence and delay her studies.
Jiang Cai'er immediately became happy and said with a smile that I am not a child and it affects my intelligence!
People usually say that babies should not drink alcohol as it will affect their intellectual development, but she has already developed well.
Li Xiang said at that time: "You are growing."
Isn't the Mood for Love at the age of sixteen or seventeen the time to grow taller?
But Jiang Cai'er was stunned, thinking that her height hadn't increased for a long time, how could she still grow? I couldn't help but lower my head and glance at my chest, thinking to myself, could it be that this is the place? Well, it's definitely getting bigger.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Bah bah bah, what are you thinking, drinking will affect this?
……
After this video of making tofu was released, fans commented: "I can feel the fragrance even through my mobile phone!"
"How did you achieve harmony between the salty party and the sweet party? Are the people of Sichuan Province so tolerant?"
“In my hometown, sweet tofu nao is king.”
“In my hometown, the salty tofu nao is the best in the world, and the sweet ones are heretics!”
"The Salt Party is the heresy! Unforgivable!"
Another wave of salty and sweet debates has arisen. In fact, there is nothing to argue about. Like Grandma Li Xiang and the third wife, they can eat whatever they like according to their own tastes. Why do they care so much about what they eat at home?
Everyone saw that the Miao girl appeared again, eating tofu and looking so cute, so someone asked: "Is the saint on vacation?"
Some people defended Jiang Cai'er: "You caught a high school student to work part-time, did you pay him?"
Li Xiang felt that he should be given some salary, so he told Jiang Cai'er that he wanted to transfer some money to her. It's not a problem to let her work for nothing all the time.
But Jiang Cai'er didn't want it. She pouted her pink lips and said playfully: "If you really want to give it to me, buy me a laptop as a college entrance gift when I go to college."
She heard that a computer is a must in college.
Although I am only a sophomore in high school, I am already looking forward to college life.
Li Xiang said that there was no problem. He would definitely buy a laptop with good performance and good looks for her. The hard drive should be larger so that it can store more data.
If it is not enough, you can add a mobile hard drive.
The university is a place with such an academic atmosphere, so naturally you have to steal more, no, learn more knowledge and come back.
In fact, I am not willing to buy more expensive things. I'm just afraid that Cai'er won't want it. She took the mobile phone from before after saying that he would lend it to her.
