The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 152 Mapo Tofu
Hearing the name of the dish mentioned by Qi Yuan, Mrs. Chen felt a little ashamed.

"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, the name of this dish is not meant to mock you. Your shop is small, even if you can make delicious food, it is difficult to spread your reputation."

Qi Yuan smiled and comforted: "Only this kind of more distinctive name can make people remember it as soon as they hear it. As long as your craftsmanship is decent, you don't have to worry about no one coming here for your name."

Chen Zhang thought about it for a moment, but it was the same reason.

She is living a difficult life now, she just wants to earn a little more money, and she really doesn't care much about her name.

"Your tofu is white, tender and delicate, with a smooth taste and a strong bean aroma, which is very good."

In the kitchen, Qi Yuan looked at the materials here, and said to Chen Zhang: "But these alone are not enough, you need to prepare some more materials.

The dish I am teaching you, in addition to tofu, also needs some minced meat, bean paste, rice wine, green onion, ginger, pepper, and spicy Polygonum.

It is best to use minced beef for minced meat. If it is not possible, use pork or other meat. In addition, make the broth in advance, so that the taste will be better when it is used to stew tofu.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum must be ground into powder in advance. In addition, I will teach you a secret method of making bean paste. For this kind of dish, it is best to make some sauce by yourself. "

Qi Yuan first taught her the general knowledge about this dish, including how to make bean paste, how to cook the broth, and so on.

Only then did Chen Zhang know that cooking still requires so much attention, just one dish requires so much preparation.

"No matter how much you say, it's a trick of your mouth, and you don't understand it very well. In this way, I will make it for you first, and then let you taste it."

Qi Yuan ordered Mrs. Chen and Zhang to boil some water.

After his cooking skills were widely taught, many kitchen utensils have been widely circulated. Although Chen Zhang's family is poor now, when her husband was still there, her family was not bad, but she also brought back a copper pot from Xiqi. pot.

Letting the firewood under the pot burn slowly, Qi Yuan asked Chen Zhang to watch how he cooks.

He first took out a piece of tofu, cut it evenly into one-finger squares, added a little salt to the boiled water, then put the tofu in and boiled it to remove the beany smell, then took it out and soaked it in clean water.

Heat the frying pan and put some lard in it.

He also left the method of making vegetable oil in the three volumes of recipes, but it is a pity that now that the war continues, these techniques have not been widely spread, and Chen Zhang's family only has this half can of lard available.

And apart from a few fish in the water tank, she has no other meat here.

So Qi Yuan had no choice but to find the meat of the spirit beast from his treasure bag, cut a small piece out, chop it into minced meat, put it into the pan and fry it, and when the minced meat was fried into golden brown, he took out his own meat in the golden meat. Put Ao Island's secret soybean paste into it, and then add minced ginger and spicy Polygonum.

Because I didn’t prepare the broth in advance, I had to cook it with ordinary water. After putting the tofu in and cooking for a while, add salt and other condiments, cut the shallots into sections, and when it comes out of the pot, sprinkle with minced green onion and peppercorns. noodle.

As early as when Qi Yuan started to do it, Chen Zhang was already stunned.

It never occurred to her that the gentleman in front of him was just cooking a dish. Whether it was cutting the vegetables with a knife or stirring them in a copper pot, they were as smooth as flowing water, which was pleasing to the eye.

She was even more surprised when the tempting aroma came out of the pot.

Obviously not long after eating, he was actually tempted by this aroma and was hungry again.

It wasn't until Qi Yuan brought out the dish that Chen Zhang discovered that her father-in-law and child had come to her side at some point, intoxicated by the aroma of the dish.

Qi Yuan chuckled: "Come on, you all have a taste, by the way, don't forget to share a portion with your mother-in-law."

Chen Zhang quickly agreed, and took out a bowl to share.

Then, under Qi Yuan's signal, he picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, and immediately felt an incomparably strong and fragrant taste erupting in his mouth, which made people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

On the side, Chen Zhang's father-in-law and Chen Bao'er could no longer hold back their desire for delicious food, and surrounded them.

After they finished eating, Qi Yuan smiled and said to Chen Zhang: "The characteristics of this dish are the eight characters of hemp, spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, fresh, and lively. I call it the eight-character proverb. You If you want to make this dish well, you must move closer to the direction of these eight characters."

Chen Zhangshi nodded half-understanding, she couldn't remember so many things for a while.

Qi Yuan didn't care, and urged her to send the portion of the dish to her mother-in-law while it was hot.

In fact, whether it is the meat of the spirit beast or his own secret sauce, there is aura in it. The reason why he made this dish is to make Chen Zhang more confident in this dish, but the more important thing is Use the spiritual energy in this dish to relieve her mother-in-law's pain.

These auras are not too much, and they are just right for ordinary people to recuperate their bodies.

In fact, after Chen Zhang and the others ate it, they already felt a surge of heat in their bodies, but they didn't have much experience, so they thought it was because of the addition of spicy Polygonum, so they didn't think much about it.

After Mrs. Chen and Zhang fed her mother-in-law, when she went back to the kitchen to ask Qi Yuan for advice, a few people came outside the shop, they were just the few rogues from yesterday.

Originally, they were just upset that they lost face at the hands of a woman yesterday. After the news spread, they were ridiculed for a few words, but today they planned to get back the lost face.

However, I didn't expect to smell an extremely attractive smell as soon as I entered the store.

Although the fragrance has faded after such a long time, it still aroused the greedy worms in their stomachs.

The leader, the guy nicknamed the Chipmunk, slapped the table a few times, and when Chen Zhang came out, he pointed at Chen Zhang and shouted: "What kind of food did you make in this shop? It's so tempting. Hurry up!" Serve it to the man to taste."

Chen Zhang was a little embarrassed, and went back to the kitchen to ask Qi Yuan if he could do it again, and send those rogues away.

Qi Yuan sneered disdainfully: "These people can't be dismissed with a single dish, besides, what are they, and they deserve me to cook for them?"

"Then... I'll let them come later."

Chen Zhang said that he was about to go out.

"Wait a moment."

Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly, those people knew at a glance that this was a door-to-door search for trouble, she was a woman, how could she handle them.

I was the one who helped secretly yesterday, otherwise Mrs. Chen would have been bullied by those rogues.

Qi Yuan reached out and took out a bamboo branch that was more than three feet long and thick as a thumb. While Chen Zhang was dumbfounded, he punched a few magic formulas into it.

"Here, take this and they won't be able to hurt you."

Qi Yuan handed the bamboo branch to Chen Zhang.

He just refined a simple defensive restriction, which is not a precious thing, but it is just right for Chen Zhang to use for self-defense.

Chen Zhangshi stared blankly at Qi Yuan's operations, only then did he realize that the person in front of him was actually an expert hermit.

She took it in a daze and walked outside.

A few hooligans slapped the table and cursed: "What is the thing I want, what do you mean by taking out the stick?
What's the matter, do you still want to beat me up again? "

Mrs. Chen Zhang turned her head and glanced at the kitchen, gathered herself together, and said, "The gentleman inside doesn't want to cook for you, so you go back first, and you can come back after I learn."

"Hehe, Chen Mapo, I'm giving you a face, don't I, I come to your place to eat, and dare to drive us away without bringing out the food. Do you really think our brothers are easy to provoke?"

A poppi said, got up straight away, and slapped Chen Zhangshi across the face.

Chen Zhang shrank her neck in fright, and closed her eyes tightly. As a result, she didn't feel the expected pain, but a scream came from in front of her.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that rogue was clasping his hands and crying out for pain.

"what happened?"

Several other poppis gathered around and asked questions one after another.

The poppy grinned in pain: "I don't know what kind of trick this woman used. When I hit it with my hand, it was like hitting a steel needle. It hurts badly."

As he spoke, he showed his hand, and everyone saw that his palm was swollen.

But the defensive spell on the cut bamboo branch counterattacked automatically. Although it would not seriously hurt the Popi, it would take a few days of pain before the swelling subsided.

"Damn, dare to fight back, brothers, smashed her shop for me."

A few rogues were furious, and they were about to attack amid the shouts of the leader of the chipmunks.
