People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

A piece of tofu is too big.Cut Xiaolan into eight large pieces with three knives, making them long and short horizontally and vertically into strips.I took one of the pieces and placed it alone on the chopping board.

"You look good!"

Cui Le only saw Cai Xiaolan holding two palm-sized sharp knives, hanging on the tofu, and did not move for a long time.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong? Is it tofu? Why don't you use the knife?" Cui Le couldn't help but urge.He didn't understand that at this point, there was nothing to hesitate about.

"Ah?" Others looked at Cui Le.

"Aye, you should look closer!" Cui Shuangquan reminded.During the two days he followed Cui Le, he discovered a problem. Cui Le's eyes were no longer functioning.It's common to have trouble seeing clearly when you're in a dark place.

When he walked closer, he realized that Cai Xiaolan's knife had been moving.It's just that the ups and downs are very small.

Not long after, the knife really stopped.

Cai Xiaolan carefully used the blade of the knife to scoop up the tofu that had become a puddle on the knife board, and carefully dropped it into the water.

"Please take a look!" Cai Xiaolan put down the kitchen knife and stood the knife head on the chopping board.

A group of people gathered around the edge of the basin. The tofu shreds as thick as hair in the basin were spreading around along the water waves.

"I'm an honest person, there's no secret to this! Nothing but familiarity!" Cai Xiaolan sighed and meant something.

There is a saying: cut the silk ribbons horizontally and boil them with fresh ingredients over high heat.

The essence of Wensi Tofu lies entirely in the knife skills.

Zeng Changshi glanced sideways at the cook, who secretly shook his head.

No one can achieve this kind of knife skills without years of practice.

"Ah?" Cui Le didn't want to believe that all the factors that made Babaozhai prosperous were Cai Xiaolan.

After everyone finished watching, Cai Xiaolan picked up the kitchen knife again and started cutting other tofu.

"Xiaolan, we already believe it, but what are you doing?" Cui Boyan was confused.

"Alas, the shredded tofu loses its texture after being soaked in water for a long time. I haven't supplied the goods to Babaozhai today. You are here, so I'll cut some and you can help me deliver it!"

It just so happened that she was sitting around the house with nothing to do.

Cui Boyan looked back at Zeng Changshi, thinking about what words he should use to provoke him if he refused again.

Zeng Changshi nodded, "Nephew Bo Yan, don't look down on me. Can you, Uncle Zeng, still not be able to do such a small thing? I will immediately tell the officer on duty to allow you to come and go freely. But Wensi Doufu, but You have to give me a real treat."

It's really interesting. Government affairs, big and small, are all in one mouth.

The chef happened to be here, and Cai Xiaolan took the time to tell him the method of cooking Wensi tofu.On that day, the official family members who did not go home for dinner were all in a good mood.

Li Yunguang heard that the chef had made Wensi Tofu today, so he deliberately left behind what he was doing, not as fast as before.

"Aye, I got a letter, and I'm a little unsure. Please help me take a look!" Li Wei first took a look inside, but didn't find anyone else there. He immediately became bolder and ducked into the house.And then followed Li Fan.

"A thief and a thief, what a shame!" Li Yunguang always scolded his two sons.

"We knew we were wrong!" Li Wei quickly admitted and handed over the letter again.

Only two days after the brothers arrived home, a letter from the Ministry of War arrived, with sincere words, sincerely inviting them to continue their studies in the military.Li Yunguang didn't know that this letter was sent through the Ministry of War system.

He took the letter and put it aside without even looking at it. "I know it without looking at it. Li Jing must have invited you to directly serve in the Ministry of War!"

"Aye, you are really good at predicting things!" Li Wei kept flattering.

Li Yunguang looked past Li Wei and stared at Li Fan with sharp eyes, "Haha, take out yours too!" Li Fan's smiling face immediately collapsed. He was different from his elder brother. He failed in his studies and had already made up his mind to go. Got mixed up in the military.

Reluctantly, he handed over the same letter.

"You are still not happy! You have all been deceived by Li San's words. The Turks have been defeated, what is the use of the saint sending talents to the army?" Li Yunguang is cunning and scheming. Although he is far away from the court, the information is constant, and he is Political direction is sensitive.

"I have military merit!" Li Fan argued.

He fought so hard.In the military camp, the aristocratic troops were forcibly mobilized. With a fierce force, they fought hard and captured 39 heads.

"I rose quickly at the beginning, but I lost my potential later on!" Li Yunguang's eyes moved around the room, "Boss, take a look at the door!"

Li Wei quietly took a look outside and sent the two officers standing guard at the door elsewhere.

"Aye, this one is clean!"

"Why do you think Li San wants to recruit you to join the military department?" Li Yunguang asked in return.

Li Fan straightened his hair on his forehead and said confidently: "Of course he took a fancy to my ability."

Li Yunguang ignored this [-] plus narcissist and looked at the boss.

Li Wei pondered for a while, "What my brother said makes sense, he has force, I understand the art of war, and with proper cooperation, we can accomplish great things!"

Li Yunguang suddenly regretted why he sent the two brothers to the army together. Without him watching from behind, Li Fan would have blackened his position.

"Li San must be aware of the saint's thoughts. He wants to recruit as many noble children as possible into the army, and gather the power behind them to hinder the saint's footsteps. I predict that the way of governing the world will be able to pass through civil and martial arts. .”

"Then you still want us to go to war?"

"During the transitional period, the Emperor's disciples with military exploits are of course more popular!"

The father and son talked for a long time, and Li Laoba had already arranged the future of his two sons.

"I'm talking to you today. It's already noon, and the government affairs haven't been finished yet. That's it, let's stop here. Let's go to the kitchen and have a bite." Li Yunguang's back was sore from sitting for a long time.

"The official meal is not delicious at all!" Li Fan complained.

He heard that a new Babao Zhai opened in the city, and he and Li Wei had agreed to go there to gain experience.

"It is true that the chefs in the official family are not as good as those at home and do not understand our tastes. But today is different. Just follow me!" Li Yunguang stood up and walked outside.

Naturally, the two brothers would not refute their father's reputation for a mere meal, so they followed suit.

Of course, the governor does not have to fight for food with ordinary officials. The cooks have already prepared it for him.

"Aye, what is this?"

"Tofu!"

"That's not what tofu looks like!"

"Vance Tofu!"

"Yohoo, it's so delicious!"

"Hurry up and eat it. This thing costs [-] yuan a bowl at Babao Zhai!"

When the two brothers heard this, their eyes widened, and they immediately took the phrase "a half-grown man, a poor man" to the extreme.Scooping the tofu soup in the soup bowl, I started to show off like crazy.

Li Yunguang's appetite was also very good today, one bowl after another, "I don't know whether Brother Cui's affairs are going smoothly or not. The same goes for Xiaolan. Why do you have to go against Brother Cui?" (End of Chapter)
