NOVEL NEXT Chapter 204: eat tofu
Autumn is the harvest season. When people are busy harvesting food on the European soil, the North American colonies-Cape Breton Island and North America's two islands, have also achieved a bumper harvest.
The Cape Breton Island is just that. It is a high latitude area where only hardy rye can be grown. North America ’s twin islands are different. On the island of Amerigo (Nantucket), in addition to rye, thousands of acres of soybeans are grown.
Although the yield per mu of soybean is low, even if all three major fertilizers are used, the yield per mu is only about 200 pounds. However, thousands of acres are 6,000 acres. Overall, the total soybean output reached 1.2 million pounds.
Tara left 200,000 pounds of soybeans as seeds and emergency reserves, and the remaining 1 million pounds were all shipped and shipped back to Europe. Marin was very happy to see millions of pounds of soybeans. After all, soybeans are excellent feed for war horses.
So, Marin made some soybeans fried and fed them to the war horses. Sure enough, many war horses like fragrant fried soybeans. Moreover, after eating fried soybeans, the horse's physical recovery is also very fast. The soy beans are fried, not only crunchy, but also a fragrance, very popular with war horses.
Marin fired a large bowl of soy beans for his war horse Karl. As a result, Karl felt that it was not enough after eating this meal, and could not help making a glance at Marin-shoveling shit, quickly give you Uncle Ma another bowl ...
After working with Carl for so many years, Marin naturally understood Carl's hint. However, Ma Lin does not need to do his own thing about frying soybeans. So, Marin instructed Karl's real **** shovel officer-the husband, to fry a large bowl of soy beans, so that Uncle Karl could continue to enjoy ...
As a result, Carl Soybeans ate too much and could not stop farting, the entire stable became a biochemical battlefield, and Marin had to evacuate urgently ...
Back in the backyard of the palace, Marin pulled out a handful of fried soybeans and chewed it. Speaking of it, it has been almost ten years since he remembered the taste of soybeans.
Then, little Caesar saw his dad eat some unknown food again, and it looked very fragrant. As a result, Chubby's little hand reached out.
Unfortunately, Caesar is too small, and the fried soybeans are very hard. Caesar couldn't chew, crying anxiously ...
"Just knowing to bully your son, that's our baby, the heir to the Huffman family!" Angela gave each formal Marin a glance and was busy coaxing her son to go.
Originally, Marin wanted to order fried soybeans for Angela. However, when he told Angela that the fried soybeans would eat too much and would fart, Angela refused decisively. A lady like Angela would shame her if she let her fart uncontrollably.
However, good things need to be shared. Since Angela and Caesar don't eat fried soybeans, Marin remembers other uses of soybeans ...
For example, make a tofu ...
In the previous life, it was Marin's childhood. At that time, every New Year, Marin's mother would make tofu to prepare for the New Year.
In the early years, the rural people were not rich in life, and only during the Chinese New Year, they could get together. However, the trenches mentioned here are not pig-killing. Pig-killing was only achieved in the 1990s. As early as the 1980s, it was basically a bucket of tofu made by every family, even if it was very trenchant. Then, during Chinese New Year, tofu is eaten every day ...
As early as Marin's grandmother had not passed away, the earliest family used to grind tofu at the stone mill, which was slower. However, at that time, the taste of the year was full, and the rural people had nothing to do in winter, and some had time to prepare and slowly grind.
Later, Master Wang at the village entrance introduced a machine to grind tofu, and everyone went to Master Wang's house to grind the beans that had been soaked in water. After grinding, return to the hanging basket made of gauze, tumbling and filtering constantly, waiting with a water tank below. After filtering, the liquid in the water tank is raw soy milk (cooked is the soy milk for breakfast), and the remaining solid in Shaburi is the legendary tofu ...
Then, people will put raw soy milk in the pot and cook it. After that, it was tofu. In the previous generations of Marin's home, they were all made of salt and brine. The bittern is relatively easy to obtain. Moreover, the tofu ordered is also relatively healthy. Unlike gypsum tofu, many workshops are cheap, but they are made with industrial gypsum. Industrial gypsum is toxic, so gypsum tofu can not be eaten.
After the salt brine is added, the tofu in the cooked soy milk will condense from the free state to the state of tofu brain. And if you want to get chunky tofu, you need the last step-pressing tofu ...
These tofu brain-like tofu will be poured into gauze to filter out the salty soy sauce (at this time there is no soy milk, soy milk is actually a solution in the state of tofu suspension), gauze is left Tofu.
Then, the gauze wrapped in tofu will be tied tightly and placed on a flat plate. Then, put a flat plate on the gauze again, and then put a stone on the flat plate ...
After a period of time, the tofu is pressed. When I opened the gauze, the tofu inside wanted to be an oversized white cake. The last step is naturally to cut the tofu into pieces with a knife. After cutting the tofu, the tofu will be put in cold water to cool and preserve ...
The freshly pressed tofu is warm and tastes good. The tofu after cooling in cold water, it tastes no more.
In Marin's previous life, every time his mother made tofu and cut tofu, those irregular corners and corners that could not be cut into blocks, all fell into his stomach, and brothers and sisters could not grab him ...
Thinking of all the things in his previous life, Marin couldn't help but sigh. However, looking at his son Caesar's unhappy face, Marin decided to make tofu by himself ...
So, Marin soaked the beans first, and waited a few hours before starting to do it. Of course, as a big boss, the physical work of grinding beans can't be done by Marin. Some people do it.
After filtering the grinded soybean dregs with gauze, Marin directed several chefs to cook the raw soy milk, and then Marin ordered the brine to make the soy milk into a tofu brain ...
Then, after filtering, Marin began to press tofu ...
Seeing Kahn doing nothing on the edge, Marin simply did not use stone to press, but let Kahn go into battle and use brute force to press ...
In this way, after a while, the steamed tofu was pressed ...
The freshly made tofu is fragrant before it is soaked in cold water, a bit like soy milk. Little Caesar, who was visiting on the side, swallowed saliva after smelling it, and Kahn was attracted by the fragrance.
As soon as the tofu was ready, Marin cut a piece and prepared to send it to his mouth. However, when he saw the little Caesar on the edge looking at his little Caesar, Marin remembered that he was already a father ...
So, the first piece of tofu came into Little Caesar's mouth ...
Although it's a bit hot, Little Caesar really likes the taste of hot tofu. On the side, Angela and Kahn both showed expressions of interest. So, the first pot of tofu in Europe, before it was the turn to soak in cold water, was divided up by several people present ...
"Actually, this is just the original way of eating tofu ... more than this delicious way of eating ..." Marin couldn't help saying when everyone was feeling that the hot tofu was delicious.
And the consequence of Marin's saying is that he made another pot of tofu ...
Next ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ It's time to cook tofu ...
Originally, Marin intended to make Mapo tofu. It is a pity that he does not have spicy oil at this time. So, Marin made a fish head tofu instead ...
The taste of fish is delicious, while tofu is tender. Fish head tofu, sprinkled with green onions after being out of the pan, becomes a fresh, fragrant, tender food ... Of course, the key to this dish is to use cooking wine to remove the smell, otherwise the taste will be very fishy ...
As half of the old driver in the cook world, Marin naturally knows how to use cooking wine to deal with the smell. So, the fish head tofu that came out of the pot became a delicious meal with fresh and tender ...
Sadly, this fish head tofu seems to be insufficient. Soon after serving the table, Marin just went to the kitchen to make a tofu soup, and turned around and found that the fish head tofu was gone ...
"This dish is very suitable for little Caesar to eat, my dear, and more will be done in the future ..." Angela wiped her mouth gracefully after eating. And little Caesar has an innocent face-this dish is indeed suitable for this baby to eat, but ... this baby did not eat a few bites, it was eaten up by a group of your adults ...
