My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 217 Going to the Market (continued)

It is said that candied haws on ice is sour, and there is a bit of sweetness in the sourness.

Eating the familiar taste, Liu Minghui thought of this familiar ballad.

It's just that looking at Photon's instantly collapsed expression in the room, she should have only eaten sour.

After all, the sweet icing on the outermost layer has long been licked off by her greedy.

Indoor Photon looked at Liu Minghui, who was snickering, with pursed mouth, and said, "Minghui, you are playing tricks!"

"This candied haws is not very tasty."

"Although it's sweet on the outside, it's a little too sour on the inside."

"I really can't eat it."

Liu Minghui smiled and said, "Why don't you try chewing it directly without licking off the sugar coating first."

"After the sugar coating is eaten, naturally only the sour taste of hawthorn remains."

Photon in the room looked at Liu Minghui with wide eyes, as if asking, you didn't lie to me, did you?
After receiving Liu Minghui's affirmative look, Shi Guangzi mustered up the courage to try again.

Indoor Photon's eyes lit up, and this time, the taste was completely different after changing the way of eating.

One bite, the first thing you will feel is the outermost sugar coating of the candied haws.

The icing is crispy, and it squeaks in the mouth, which is a wonderful feeling.

The unique aroma and taste of the sugar coating not only brings out the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn, but also makes people have endless aftertaste.

The overall taste is both sour and sweet, and has a certain chewy feel, making it very comfortable to eat.

Especially the sourness in the hawthorn is not only not neutralized by the sweetness in the sugar coating.

Instead, it was set off even more sour.

Combined with the sweetness in the icing, it has an unstoppable taste.

After eating one, I want to eat a second one.

One mouthful after another.

The two of them ate quickly.

Soon there was only one bamboo stick left in the bunch of candied haws.

The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing.

Can't wait to make another batch.

Indoor Photon looked directly at Liu Minghui with dissatisfied eyes.

It seems to say, I want more.

Liu Minghui shook his head and said, "A bunch of candied haws is enough."

"There are still a lot of delicious snacks. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat them later."

Finally, he looked at the candied haws reluctantly.

Indoor Photon shifted his gaze to Liu Minghui with strong willpower.

And took his arm actively, and asked: "Minghui, what shall we eat next?"

Coincidentally, at this time, Liu Minghui also found his parents who were suspected to be following him, and he took the indoor photon with his backhand and said:

"We looked around as we walked, and we bought something we wanted to eat when we saw it."

Indoor Photon didn't expect Liu Minghui to respond to him, and at the same time he was happy, he pulled Liu Minghui to walk forward.

There were crowds of people gathering there, and there was a good smell coming out.

Based on experience, there must be something delicious to haunt.

Liu Minghui never expected that Indoor Photon, who had just attended the first gathering, would already have experience.

Look along the signboard.

Liu Minghui discovered that this was a stall selling bean curd.

The white bean curd in the pot looks very attractive.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man.

The method is very skillful.

With a big spoon, it's just enough for a bowl.

Then add some toppings to the bowl.

After a little stirring, a bowl of fragrant bean curd is completely finished.

Smelling the tempting fragrance of bean curd, most customers couldn't hold back.

After taking the bean curd handed over by the boss, he just stirred it with a spoon, and then he stood there and sucked it up.

Unlike the bean curd in other places, the bean curd here is neither sweet nor salty.

It is spicy with local characteristics.

Divided into two kinds of spicy and hot and sour.

The carefully crafted beancurd has a delicate and smooth texture that melts in your mouth and is endlessly memorable.

Served with chili oil, fried peas, peanuts, broken rice sprouts and other accessories.

Together, they form the spicy bean curd that everyone loves.

The overall taste is extremely strong, the taste is delicate and delicious.

The slightly spicy taste not only whets the appetite, but also makes the bean curd taste more sweet and refreshing.

The spicy and sour bean curd will add some balsamic vinegar to the spicy taste.

At the same time, replace the broken rice sprouts with sour radish stalks.

While refreshing and appetizing, it also enriches the taste of bean curd.

It is a special delicacy that is difficult to enjoy in other places.

Smelling the alluring fragrance in the air, Liu Minghui also felt a little greedy.

Say to the photon in the room: "You photon wait here for a moment."

"I'm going to buy two tofu curds and I'll be back."

After speaking, he quickly squeezed into the crowd.

Facing this kind of stall with hot business.

If you are waiting outside the Buddha Department, you may only be able to eat what you want after the market is over.

Of course, the greater possibility is that the boss sold out all the ingredients and closed the stall ahead of time.

Although there are a lot of people queuing up, the boss's delivery speed is amazing.

Not long after, Liu Minghui came out with two bowls of bean curd.

One flavor in one bowl.

Then I ordered two additional disposable bowls, which are very convenient to eat.

Drenched in chili oil, the two bowls of bean curd are red and white, looking very attractive.

Coupled with rich ingredients, people can't wait to enjoy the deliciousness in front of them.

Without hesitation, the two of them found a relatively empty place and started eating while standing.

After a little stirring with a disposable plastic spoon.

Smelling the alluring fragrance in the air, Photon indoors felt his saliva begin to secrete.

In the end, I couldn't hold back, poured out half a bowl of hot and sour bean curd and ate it.

Sweet, crispy and crunchy fried peas.

Fragrant and crispy crushed peanuts.

Crispy sour radish stems.

Spicy and mellow chili oil.

Clean up the sweet bean curd.

Sour and appetizing balsamic vinegar.

Add a handful of shallots.

Ingredients with different textures and flavors are constantly fused and gathered under the stirring of teeth and tongue.

Formed a very wonderful texture and taste.

People will fall in love with it once they take a bite, and they can't stop at all.

After eating half a bowl of hot and sour bean curd.

Without Liu Minghui's initiative to invite, Guangzi in the room began to eat spicy tofu curd again.

Without the seasoning of balsamic vinegar, the bean curd is more sweet.

It is also a very wonderful taste and taste, it can only be said that each has its own merits, and it is also very fascinating.

After eating two and a half bowls of tofu curd, even the photon in the room had an illusion of being born in heaven.

If only I could live here forever.

How good would it be to eat, drink and enjoy the food here?
Thinking of this, the photon in the room looked at Liu Minghui with unclear meaning.

But he found that the other party was eating Douhua, but he didn't notice.

Although I bought a hairpin, I ate two snacks.

But this trip to the market can only be regarded as just the beginning.

After taking just two steps, Photon indoors took the initiative to stop again.

Needless to say, Liu Minghui also knew that she had spotted her target.

Smell the alluring fragrance of soybean powder mixed with glutinous rice in the air.

Liu Minghui knew that the front must be a place selling glutinous rice cakes.

After the freshly cooked glutinous rice has been beaten countless times, it becomes a soft and delicate glutinous rice cake.

Due to the heat generated by continuous tapping, the glutinous rice cakes are still in a hot state at this time.

Slightly dip some oil in your hand to prevent sticking, and pull it hard to get off a suitable size of glutinous rice cake.

Slightly flatten the glutinous rice cakes, wrap them in a proper amount of stuffing made of soybean flour, sesame and white sugar, and close the mouth.

Finally, throw the wrapped glutinous rice cakes into the fragrant soybean powder and wrap it in a circle before it is completely completed.

At this time, the glutinous rice glutinous rice cake is still boiling hot, and when you bite it, it is soft, glutinous and sweet, with a special taste.

It is different from Ma Daroll, although it is also a combination of soybean flour and glutinous rice.

However, the portion of glutinous rice cake is larger and more abundant, and it also has fillings, which can be eaten directly.

It's just that in this fast-paced era, handmade glutinous rice cakes obviously can't keep up with the rhythm.

Most of them are made by machine, but it is inevitable.

Considering going to try other cuisines in the future.

Liu Minghui thought about it, and ordered two relatively small glutinous rice cakes, one for each person, which was just right.

Smell the fragrance of glutinous rice and the rich fragrance of soybean flour.

The two looked at each other and bit the glutinous rice cake in their hands at the same time.

Hot glutinous rice tastes best.

Waxy but not sticky to the teeth.

With the crispy texture of soybean powder and white sesame.

Plus the sweetness of white sugar.

One bite is the ultimate enjoyment of carbohydrates.

The more you chew, the stronger it is, and the more you eat, the more delicious it is.

Let the indoor photon wish to have another big portion.

It's just that I have to eat other delicacies later.

She could only reluctantly leave the stall.

Came to the next place that sells egg burgers.

A simple combination of batter, eggs, fresh meat and ham.

In the end, it became everyone's egg burger.

This layer-by-layer craftsmanship looks extremely attractive.

There is a magical feeling of watching the ingredients continue to accumulate and finally form delicious food.

I remember that when he was a child, after school, Liu Minghui loved to watch the stalls making egg burgers with his friends.

No money to buy.

Just watching it can last half an hour.

I fantasize about how delicious the egg burger will be after eating it.

It wasn't until it was getting late that I reluctantly went home.

It's just that the taste of this seemingly incomparably magical food is actually not outstanding.

At least it's hard to cook well.

The combination of various ingredients is the most test of the chef's skill.

I want to ensure that all the ingredients in the egg burger have the best taste.

Actually very difficult.

After all, cooking is not simply one plus one equals two.

Every addition of a new ingredient also means that the difficulty is greatly increased.

However, egg burgers are very cheap, so it’s a good choice to buy one and give it a try.

After thinking about it, Liu Minghui directly bought the most luxurious package.

Egg + beef + ham.

six dollars.

Being able to eat such an egg burger when I was a child is definitely full of happiness.

Knowing that Liu Minghui was eating for two, the boss thoughtfully divided the egg burger into two with a spatula.

Through the fracture of the egg burger, the layered ingredients can be clearly seen.

Not only that, if you squeeze it a little harder, plenty of juice will overflow.

Seeing such a tempting delicacy, Indoor Photon took a bite with anticipation.

Wondering what this egg burger tastes like.

But just after eating, she frowned.

This egg burger is not bad either.

It's just that the difference between the taste and the appearance of imagination is too big.

Although it is a combination of various ingredients, the taste of each ingredient can only be regarded as average.

Even the seasoning was a bit uneven.

Compared with the snacks I ate before, the taste is not too ordinary.

It looks so tempting, but why does it taste so ordinary?
Is it possible that there are also deceptions about food?
The unbelieving indoor photon took another bite, and it still tasted ordinary.

Everything is not my own illusion.

She suddenly realized why Liu Minghui bought an egg burger.

It turns out that the taste is average.

It seems that even if you go to the market, not every kind of food will be very delicious.

The market trip continues.

It’s just that when walking to the new booth this time, the indoor photon learned a lesson and asked Liu Minghui first:

"Minghui, are these potatoes delicious?"

"If it doesn't taste good, don't buy it."

"I want to save my stomach and eat delicious food."

This is a small stall that makes potato snacks.

There are two types of crispy potatoes and spiked potatoes.

The golden potatoes are slowly fried on the iron plate, gradually turning into an attractive golden yellow.

The stall owner is very attentive.

Flip the potatoes as soon as one side is cooked until golden brown.

Fry until golden brown on all sides.

Not only that, in addition to crispy potatoes, there are also spiked potatoes for sale at the stall.

Potatoes are cut into shapes resembling wolf's teeth with a special tool and fried in a pan.

Fry until just ripe and then remove for seasoning.

Mixed with the boss's special seasoning, sprinkled with some chives, the taste is also very good.

Liu Minghui looked at the photon in the room with a funny face, she actually knew that she would suffer and gain wisdom.

Before buying this time, I knew to ask me first.

Spike potatoes and crispy potatoes are naturally impossible to be unpalatable.

Liu Minghui went directly to the booth and asked for a copy as an answer.

Seeing business coming, the boss is also busy.

First put the wolf tooth potatoes into the oil pan for frying.

Taking advantage of the frying time of Spike potatoes, he started to process crispy potatoes.

Thick and long chopsticks quickly touch the potatoes, and use this simple method to judge the maturity of the potatoes.

Finally, I picked a bowl of potatoes that were fried just right and put them in the prepared container.

This container Liu Minghui is very familiar with, it is the water ladle that ordinary people use.

Because of the handle, the volume is large, and the depth is suitable, it is just right for seasoning.

Crushed peanuts, chili peppers, sesame oil, and seasoning powder ground into proportions of salt, sugar, and monosodium glutamate are added into the container in sequence.

But when it was Houttuynia cordata's turn, the boss paused and asked:

"Little brother, do you eat Houttuynia cordata?"

"Do you want cilantro?"

"By the way, should the Spike potatoes be more crunchy or crunchier."

Since it is a strange guest, the boss will confirm the taste of the guest in advance.

As for regular customers?

Their taste boss has long taken to heart.

Liu Minghui thought for a while and said: "No Houttuynia cordata, no coriander."

"As for the wolf tooth potatoes, half are soft and half are crispy."

For the condiments of these two other poisons and my fairy grass, on the premise of not knowing the taste of the photon in the room.

Not letting go is the best option.

"okay."

The boss kept on using his chopsticks to flip the potatoes in the container with skillful techniques.

Soon all the crispy potatoes were evenly coated with a layer of seasoning.

Finally sprinkled a handful of chopped green onion, inserted a few bamboo sticks and handed it to Liu Minghui.

in a frying pan.

At this time, the Spike potatoes are also fried to maturity.

The boss took out half of them with a slotted spoon and began to season them.

The method is similar to that of crispy potatoes, and there is nothing special about it.

Soon two and a half servings of spiked potatoes came to Liu Minghui.

Smelling the tempting aroma of the potatoes, the two couldn't help themselves, and found a place to eat.

Although using bamboo skewers is a bit dangerous, for such small potatoes.

If you use chopsticks, it's really not easy to pick without certain skills.

Using a skewer to select the best-looking potato, Indoor Photon directly picked it up and brought it to Liu Minghui, smiling and saying:
"Minghui, you eat the potatoes first."

The weather in September is not so cool.

In addition, the sun was already out, and Liu Minghui's forehead was already slightly sweating.

This is also the reason why it is necessary to rush to the market early.

It was late, and many bosses could not bear the scorching sun and returned home early, so you can only look at the empty stalls and worry.

The potatoes, fried until golden brown, are simply seasoned and exude an enticing aroma.

Liu Minghui was not polite either. After all, he was still carrying two portions of wolf-toothed potatoes and it was really hard for him to do it himself.

Immediately opened his mouth, and let the wolf tooth potato be sent into his mouth.

This rice crust potato is crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside.

One bite down, it is simply not too delicious.

the most important is.

This is the potato fed by indoor photons.

It tastes even better.

After feeding Liu Minghui three crispy potatoes, the indoor photon began to feed itself.

The best small potatoes taste very soft and waxy.

With the burnt and crispy shell, it tastes great.

The seemingly simple seasoning is also not simple at all.

It didn't take away the original flavor of the potatoes, but made the crispy potatoes even more delicious.

Most of the stalls that can stay open for a long time in the market have some unique secret recipes.

It can stand the test of everyone, and the taste will not be too bad.

It is quite normal to be able to reach this level.

He burped in satisfaction, and Guangzi in the room looked at Spike Potatoes again.

The delicacies certified by Liu Minghui are certainly not bad.

It's just that when she stretched out the stick to the spiked potato closest to her, Liu Minghui said:

"Let's eat this spiked potato with a shorter frying time first."

"Otherwise, this wolf tooth potato will be heated by its own temperature."

“In the end, it will have a strange texture that is either crispy or crunchy, or floppy or floppy.”

Indoor Photon's hand suddenly trembled.

Without hesitation, he reached out to another serving of Spike Potatoes.

She is very familiar with the taste described by Liu Minghui.

Sometimes when she makes her own simple meals, the potatoes are not cooked properly.

There will be this strange taste.

The potatoes were only soft on the outermost thin layer.

The middle part, neither soft nor hard, tastes weird.

Since the seasoning is basically the same, the gap between Spike potatoes and crispy potatoes is mainly in the potatoes.

After washing away the starch, the freshly fried potatoes taste like vegetables.

In the mouth, the texture and taste are quite good.

Soon, half of the spiked potatoes entered the stomachs of the two of them.

Not even the last bit of dregs was left.

These slags are the crispy skin that falls from the crispy potatoes, and they taste very delicious.

Looking at the remaining half of Spike potatoes, the two couldn't wait to taste them.

The entrance is soft and glutinous.

With the unique wavy shape of Spike potatoes, it is very comfortable to eat.

People can't stop one bite at a time.

belch.

Satisfied, he burped.

Indoor Photon looked powerless looking at the long street.

Although she wanted to eat more, her stomach couldn't hold it anymore.

She never imagined that there are so many delicacies hidden in just a small market.

Not only food, but also a lot of interesting little things, which made her want to rush to buy something.

But considering that this is not the country of cherry blossoms.

Even if you bought it, it would be very troublesome to take it home, so the indoor photon resisted the urge.

It seems that Liu Minghui will deliberately avoid some stalls selling delicious food after discovering the powerlessness of the indoor photon.

Instead, he took her to see a lot of interesting things.

There are cute and cute little animals.

Snow-white little white rabbit.

Smart hamster.

There were even some kittens and puppies looking at the two with their watery eyes.

It seems to be shouting silently, shit shovel, take me home quickly.

Seeing these small animals, Indoor Photon's heart instantly melted.

It's just that she suddenly thought of a question, and said worriedly: "That's right, Minghui."

"Now that you and I have returned to China, what about Rhubarb?"

"You wouldn't keep him a dog at home, would you?"

"It would be too pitiful if no one is with it."

Liu Minghui said funnyly: "Can I treat Dahuang badly?"

"It accompanies me every day without credit or hard work."

"I had arranged it long before I left."

"I asked them, and Moriyama said he was free."

"Plus the fact that pets are allowed in the place where I live, I will temporarily give Rhubarb to his care."

"After all, Moriyama is an old acquaintance. Let him take care of Rhubarb, and I will feel relieved."

"Otherwise, with Rhubarb's hypocritical and stubborn personality, I'm really worried that it will suffer after sending it to foster care."

After hearing that Dahuang was properly arranged, Indoor Photon breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, such a good person as Liu Minghui must be very caring for small animals.

How could it be so irresponsible to leave Rhubarb behind.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take in Dahuang who was living on the street.

Let him enjoy a delicious work dinner with everyone, without any objection.

In a sense, rhubarb can also be regarded as a part of the dragon carp izakaya.

Although Joichi Moriyama is not good at cooking, he is very reliable as a person.

Giving Rhubarb to his care, Indoor Photon also felt very relieved.

Joichi Moriyama: Thank you.

If you really want to praise me, please delete the previous sentence.

Although I like these cute little animals very much, Indoor Photon finally had no choice but to give up.

I don't have the conditions to feed them at all.

Not to mention bringing it back to Sakura Country is simply trouble within trouble.

She's not that irrational.

After walking through the pet area, the two came to the flower area again.

Flowers, large and small, look beautiful in simple flower pots.

There are bursts of flowers coming.

It smells very pleasant.

This lively market can be regarded as an eye-opener for indoor photons.

Anything you can think of is sold here.

It is very lively and full of life.
