I’m Marquis in Great Tang

In the afternoon, Du Qi had nothing to do, so he was planning to cook. The wok is ready-made, just use the wok that was previously fried. Du Qi carried his hands on his back, a pair of small grown-up pies, with Liu Jian, a dog-legged dog that walked along the way, and went to the kitchen.

Liu Jian looked confused and asked: “Noble Son, what shall we do in the back kitchen?”

Du Qi said: “Look for food.”

“Looking for something to eat?”

Liu Jian didn’t understand even more.

The food in Fuzhong has always been excellent, and there is meat at noon. There is no shortage of food. Why does Noble Son have to find food?

Liu Jian said: “Noble Son, is it not full?”

“Is not full!”

Du Qi answered directly.

Liu Jian suddenly frowned, looking incomprehensible, and asked: “The chef at the mansion has excellent craftsmanship and delicious taste. Why can’t Noble Son be full?”

p>

Du Qi said: “If you don’t have enough to eat, you don’t have enough to eat. What else is there to say. As far as the taste is concerned, you said it is good. I am afraid it is for you to eat pig food, and you also say that it tastes different.”

Du Qi really doesn’t want to complain about dogleg taste. With his hands on his back, he entered the back kitchen not long after. The kitchen is clean, with some wild vegetables, lamb, etc., except for other foods.

After Du Qi’s tour around, his eyes finally fell on the only piece of tofu left.

Seeing this piece of tofu, Du Qi smiled on his face.

For eating, I use tofu.

He took out only the remaining tofu, cut them all into small cubes, and soaked them in salt water. After doing all this, Du Qi began to prepare ingredients such as shallots and garlic, because in this era, there is no chili, no bean paste, but there is a special manufacturer of cornel paste.

This cornel sauce was a special substitute for pepper before the introduction of pepper. With cornel sauce, with pepper powder, green onions, garlic and other condiments, Mapo Tofu can already be manufactured.

Du Qi does what he says.

He took the prepared ingredients to his yard. After all, the wok is in his yard, not in the kitchen. Today’s food is mainly steamed and boiled, and there is no wok in the kitchen.

When Du Qi was about to leave the kitchen, he found a pot of rice.

This is very rare in the north.

After all, the food in the north is mainly noodle cakes, sesame cakes, soup cakes, steamed cakes, etc. Although rice is also available, it is not the mainstream. Du Qi didn’t expect that he actually saw rice in the back kitchen, which was his favorite.

Du Qi said: “Bring the rice, and then two eggs.”

“Yes!”

Liu Jian immediately responded.

Du Qi and Liu Jian, one took tofu and various ingredients, the other took rice and eggs, and went straight to their yard. When he returned to the yard, Du Qi asked Liu Jian to bring firewood to light it.

A fire broke out in a simple stove, the temperature in the pot gradually increased, and Du Qi began to pour oil. For Du Qi, although he is not very old, in fact, such a thing as cooking is not a complicated thing, and it can be done with no difficulty.

As the oil temperature rises, the rapeseed oil gradually becomes brighter and has become 80% hot. Du Qi put the cornel sauce, chopped ginger, garlic, and a little peppercorns.

The oily smoke has a strong smell, but with such a stir-fried material, the fragrance has already come out in a short time.

Liu Jian sniffed lightly on his nose, smashed his mouth, and showed a surprised expression between his eyebrows, saying: “Noble Son, it smells so fragrant!”

“Nonsense!”

Du Qi smelled the ingredients he made, waited for the ingredients to fry, picked up the bowl, and poured half a bowl of water into the pot. After the water was poured in, Du Qi asked Liu Jian to add firewood, and the fire burned violently.

In a short time, the pot is already boiling. The red oil boils and flips on the surface, especially the fragrance of garlic, with the smell of cornel, the aroma is tangy.

Du Qi adds salt, adjusts the taste, and pours the diced tofu into it. As the soup is reduced, the flavor is also immersed in the tofu cubes.

Although in this era, there is no seasoned chicken essence, MSG, etc., for Du Qi, it is enough.

In the end, Du Qi joined the thickened kudzu root powder.

Pueraria lobata powder, similar to later sweet potato starch, can play a viscous and lubricating effect. This kudzu root powder is starch granules manufactured from kudzu root as raw material.

Pueraria lobata powder is used as medicine to clear away heat and detoxify.

At the same time, it also has the effect of starch, which can make food tender and smooth. In the absence of later generation sweet potato starch, kudzu root powder is the most suitable thickening material.

As the Pueraria lobata starch is mixed with water and poured into the pot, the original soup becomes more viscous, and the reddish soup attaches to the small tofu cubes, making the tofu more delicious.

Du Qi grabbed a handful of chopped green onion and sprinkled it in, flipped it twice, and took the tofu out of the pot.

A large plate of tofu is out of the pot, and the aroma is overflowing.

The red color and refreshing fragrance are full of color, fragrance, and taste. Even if Du Qi watched it by himself, his tongue was shaken, and he could not take a bite.

Du Qi is not in a hurry. He still has to make egg fried rice. If there is egg fried rice, he eats tofu. For Du Qi today, it is Daoist Immortal’s life.

Du Qi asked Liu Jian to clean the wok and start preparing egg fried rice. With the golden-yellow egg liquid, pour it into the pot, and iron it with hot oil, the egg liquid quickly forms.

Scrambled egg fried rice, the best rice rice, best overnight.

This is the most suitable.

The rice grains fell down and were confused with the golden-yellow omelette. They kept turning over, and gradually there was a trace of golden-yellow on all the rice grains. At this time, Du Qi poured a very small amount of water on the side of the pot. The reason for this is to prevent the rice grains from being too dry and hard. With this little water infiltration, the rice will taste more delicious.

Du Qi quickly seasons, wait for the last chopped green onion to be sprinkled, the flavor of chopped green onion flips between the rice grains, and the flavor of egg fried rice is filled with a rich fragrance.

Gudong!

Liu Jian on the side could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Too fragrant.

It stands to reason that the Du’s family is the home of officials. Although it is not an Extremely Rich Family today, the food is pretty good. Du’s food is also excellent.

Liu Jian thinks that the food at the mansion is good, even if he eats people like him, it is good, and there is meat for every meal. But now, looking at the food that Du Qi fried out, smelling the smell, somehow he suddenly felt a little hungry.

Du Qi smiled suddenly when he saw Liu Jian’s appearance.

Cooking is successful.

Du Qi gave an order and said: “Bring two sets of bowls and chopsticks, Noble Son is happy today, you accompany you to eat together.”

“Okay!”

Liu Jian smiled brightly after hearing it. He looked at the food in front of him and his appetite was already open. Although he was full at noon, he still wanted to eat it now.

Liu Jian ran to the kitchen like flying, and after a while, he brought two sets of tableware and placed them in front of him and Du Qi.

Du Qi’s egg fried rice is only two bowls, one for each person.

Liu Jian did not move the dishes.

Du Qi has to start eating before he can start.

Du Qi picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of tofu into his mouth. In an instant, a trace of spicy flavor finally diffused, and the tofu itself was soft and smooth under the wrapper of kudzu root powder, coupled with the flavor of garlic, all the flavor burst into the taste buds.

“Comfortable! Really comfortable!”

Du Qi shook his head and applauded: “This Noble Son is such a genius. This taste is absolutely amazing.”

“Du Erlang, what is the smell!”

Suddenly, a strong and loud voice came from outside the courtyard.

Du Qi raised his brows when he heard the voice. The voice was a bit familiar, but it looked like Li Er’s voice.

next moment, two silhouettes enter.

The people who came were Li Shimin and Du Ruhui. Li Shimin originally came to the mansion to discuss matters with Du Ruhui. After the matter was negotiated, Li Shimin thought of hearing people say that Du Qi was going to open a tea shop, so he was ready to come and take a look, by the way, Du Qi.

Didn’t expect as soon as I entered, I smelled the fragrance of refreshing.

Li Shimin looked intently, focusing on the tofu and egg fried rice on the table in front of Du Qi, and said, “Erlang, what kind of food is this? Just after lunch, why did you eat again? Now.”

Smelling the fragrance, Li Shimin was also a little moved.

This smell is too fragrant.

Although Li Shimin was born in the Imperial Family and is the Prince of Qin from Great Tang, he has tasted the delicacies of mountains and seas, but the smell of tofu and rice made Li Shimin swallowed saliva.
