my wife is queen

Chapter 45 Salty and Sweet
Tofu flower is a novel food, only Li Mian knows how to make it, others have no way of knowing.

Li Mian walked into the stove, picked up a algae plate, scooped a piece of tofu from the tofu grinding shed, and put it in the blue and white glazed porcelain bowl in the stove.

Li Mian poured a layer of bright soy sauce on it, and there was a side dish just on the stove, it seemed that Chen Yuanyuan was usually reluctant to eat vegetables, so he ate the pickled side dishes with his rice.

He then added chopped green onion and garlic in turn, and sprinkled with pickled side dishes.

"It's a pity that there is no chili." Li Mian took a bowl of ready-made tofu flower and put it in Chen Yuanyuan's hand: "If you use chili to make chili oil, put a few drops on it, the flavor will be even better."

The pheasant slave's little hand reaching for the embroidered pouch stopped, looking forward to seeing the tofu flower in Chen Yuanyuan's hand, Qiong nose kept sniffing back and forth, looking pitiful.

She just smelled the smell, hooked the glutton in her stomach, and wanted to eat a bowl of tofu flower very much.

It's a pity that there is only one bowl, and she is not an impolite wild girl who snatches food from others.

The pheasant slave could only look at Li Mian with cute eyes, his little face was full of pleading.

Li Mian directly brought the white tofu from the tofu shed to the stove, and cooked another bowl of tofu.

The difference is that the materials used in this bowl of bean curd are completely different, and it can even be said that they are very different.

The first bowl of tofu flower Li Mian made was salty, with a layer of salty soy sauce poured on it. This time, the sauce poured on the tofu flower was also black and red.

It's just that it's brown sugar water made with brown sugar, poured on the tofu flower.

Normally, the sugar water used in sweet tofu flower is mostly brown sugar water.

Li Mian wanted to use white sugar but couldn't find it, even in the palace. At this time, the method of making white sugar with mud has not yet appeared.

Li Mian beckoned and called the pheasant slave over: "Take out a few pieces of candied fruit and cut them into fine pieces on the chopping board."

The pheasant slave values ​​candied fruit more than anything else, and will not give it to anyone who asks her for a candied fruit, except for my son-in-law.

After listening to her uncle's instructions, she immediately took out the candied fruit in the embroidered bag and cut it into fine pieces.

Li Mian picked up a pinch of candied fruit and sprinkled it on the sweet bean curd flower: "It's best to use red beans and mung beans. Those two condiments need to be cooked in advance, so I'll use candied fruit for the time being."

Tofu flower is divided into salty and sweet. It is not difficult to make. The key point is white tofu.

Chen Yuanyuan is much more dexterous than ordinary women, just watched it once, and immediately understood how to make tofu flower.

Li Mian is a guest after all, and she cannot let guests cook for her.

Chen Yuanyuan put the tofu flower in the hand of the pheasant slave, got up and walked into the kitchen, and imitated Li Mian's method and made six bowls of tofu flower one by one.

There are three bowls of salty tofu and three bowls of sweet. Including the two bowls of tofu made by Li Mian, each person has a bowl of salty tofu and a bowl of sweet tofu.

When my son-in-law also took a bowl of tofu flower, the pheasant slave couldn't bear it anymore, and took a white-glazed spoon and put it into his mouth.

She tasted the taste of tofu flower, and an intoxicated expression appeared on her face: "My family has never eaten tofu flower that is so tender and delicious. It is so delicious. Young master, try it quickly. It's delicious, I've decided, I won't eat Lengtao in the future, I'll eat Sister Yuanyuan's tofu flower every day..."

The pheasant slave took a mouthful of the salted tofu flower, chattered a lot, and soon put it into the sweet tofu flower with a white-glazed porcelain spoon greedily, and tasted it.

The pheasant slave rolled his eyes with a smile, quickly picked up two bowls of bean curd, and stopped chattering.

After hearing what the pheasant slave said, Chen Yuanyuan was curious and picked up a white glazed porcelain spoon to taste a few mouthfuls.

Her behavior is much more dignified than that of a pheasant slave, and hiring Tingting has a virtuous and virtuous temperament all over her body.

Especially when the white-glazed porcelain spoon was put into the vermilion lips, it added a bit of charm.

Li Mian just glanced at it, almost unable to move his eyes away, and various thoughts of turning into a white glazed porcelain spoon appeared in his mind.

The first thing Chen Yuanyuan tasted was the salted tofu flower, and she frowned slightly. Although it was delicious, it was not as delicious as what the pheasant slave said.

The taste of salted tofu flower is roughly the same as that of Yinding Bridge's Lengtao, but it is not far better than Lengtao. It is a unique craft that has been passed down for generations.

Chen Yuanyuan put down the salted tofu flower after taking a few mouthfuls, picked up the sweet tofu flower, and took a sip, thinking that the taste was the same as salty tofu flower.

But she couldn't stop talking.

Chen Yuanyuan kept putting the white-glazed porcelain spoon into her vermilion lips until she finished eating the sweet tofu flower, then she remembered her indecent behavior just now.

Without the slightest virtuous and virtuous appearance, she looks like a rough woman in the market.

Chen Yuanyuan's face flushed slightly, she paused, and said in amazement: "Sweet bean curd is still delicious, what the pheasant slave said is right, it's far better than the Lengtao of Yinding Bridge."

The pheasant slave was not happy anymore, pouted and argued: "Salted tofu flower is obviously more delicious. Sister Yuanyuan was wrong. There is no other food in this world that can compare to salty tofu flower."

Li Mian took two bites, looked at the reactions of the women in the kitchen, and as expected, there was an argument about which kind of bean curd was more delicious.

Pheasant Nu grew up in the capital, and he is partial to salted tofu flower, thinking that salted tofu flower is the best delicacy in the world.

Chen Yuanyuan grew up in Suzhou Prefecture and thought that the sweet tofu flower tasted better than the salty tofu flower.

Chen Yuanyuan won't be like a child, arguing with the pheasant slave about salty and sweet, Qiu Shui looked at Li Mian who was on the side.

The pheasant slave also looked at him cutely, thinking the same as Chen Yuanyuan, asking which kind of tofu flower is better.

Li Mian didn't want to get involved in the sweet and salty dispute, so he turned around and saw Yun Niang, wanting her to be the judge.

Yunniang watched the recipe of tofu flower, not caring which flavor of tofu flower is better.

Her eyes lit up, and she kept looking around the stove: "Sister Yuanyuan is going to get rich this time. All kinds of food in the capital are always cooked before being served to the diners. The Lengtao stall in Yinding Bridge , even though it is cold, it still has to be boiled in cold water in a pot before it can be served to the diners."

Yun Niang pointed to the bottles and cans on the stove, revealing a look of secret joy: "Tofu flower is different, white tofu is prepared in advance, pour a layer of soy sauce or brown sugar water on top, just a couple of times Cook a bowl of bean curd."

When she said this, she took off the exquisite little abacus from Xiaoman's waist, only the size of a palm, and she hung it on Xiaoman's waist as a jade pendant.

Yun Niang's long and slender fingers made a "crackling" calculation in the small calculation, and said happily: "If the price of tofu flower is about the same as that of Leng Tao, selling a bowl of Leng Tao is enough for Sister Yuanyuan to sell five bowls of tofu." Hua, earned five times more silver."
