Chapter 548 Imitation of Vegetarian Cuisine Yipin Tofu!The most suitable exercise for digestion after meals - dig wild vegetables! 【Subscribe】

Soon, the experience of Yipin Tofu flooded Lin Xu's mind.

This is a typical imitation vegetarian dish, and it is also a dish that is basically equivalent to being lost.

Because in reality, very few people can really make the first-class tofu of Confucian Mansion. Although some Internet celebrity bloggers make it in the way of making cakes, it seems that the replica is successful, but in fact it is just a gimmick that is taken for granted.

The recipe for this dish is cumbersome.

Slice the tofu, blanch it three times in clear chicken soup to remove the beany smell, grind it with water to make a puree, then chop the cooked pig fat with the back of a knife to make a puree, mix it with the tofu puree, and sieve.

Add salt, egg white and pepper, stir well, add pea starch to increase the consistency, and make it into tofu again.

Steam for a while to shape, re-slice, deep-fry in a frying pan until the surface is golden, and then simmer with broth and ham over low heat.

The tofu is golden on the outside and rich in soup inside. The pieces are stacked and placed on the plate. It looks like a home-cooked braised tofu, but the taste and texture are far better than the usual tofu dishes.

This kind of tofu deserves the name of first-class.

Those online methods of crushing tofu into mud and spreading it on the bottom of the plate, adding fried meat stuffing, and finally covering it with mashed tofu are not considered the first-class tofu in Confucian Mansion, nor do they reflect the imitation of vegetarian dishes. essence.

The most important thing about imitating vegetarian dishes is that diners don't even know that it is a meat dish before they eat it.

Only when it is eaten into the mouth, the sense of contrast and surprise will become very strong, and diners will have a feeling of eye-opening.

Among the imitation vegetarian dishes, chickpeas, chicken porridge, and snowflake chicken nao, etc., all have similar characteristics.

In addition to this method, there is also a method of mixing chicken brains, pigeon brains, and sparrow brains instead of tofu. The Yipin tofu made is more delicious and unforgettable.

But because it consumes too much food, Qianlong only went to Confucian Mansion to eat it once, and for the rest, he still used tofu honestly.

Lin Xu plans to take time to make it once. There is chicken soup, cooked pig fat, and ham at home. Just buy a piece of tofu with a fine texture, and you can make first-class tofu.

The most interesting thing about this dish is that although the name contains the word tofu, tofu is a negligible part of the production cost.

What really costs money are ingredients such as clear chicken soup, broth, and ham.

"Wow, this chicken porridge is so delicious!"

When Lin Xu was feeling a little bit of tofu, everyone at the table had already finished taking photos and started eating chicken porridge.

Shen Jiayue took a spoon and tasted the five kinds of chicken porridge one by one, and found that not only the color was different, but the taste was also different.

The yellow chicken porridge has a carrot flavor, and after eating it, there is a unique aftertaste of carrots.

The black chicken porridge has a rich seafood aroma, and it tastes like drinking seafood soup.

The green one still has the fresh and tender taste of spinach, only the red one, although the taste of red yeast rice is not too strong, it can still be distinguished.

These types of chicken porridge are paired with white chicken porridge, which come in five colors and five flavors, which makes people want to eat it.

Lin Xu tasted it, and found that the chicken porridge made with seaweed paste tasted really good, with a strong umami flavor, but it didn't take away the umami taste of the chicken, it just made the umami taste more intense.

"It's really delicious, it tastes good, it tastes good, it's amazing."

"Although there is the chicken porridge I ate last time as a base, I have to say that this soup is really amazing."

"Yes, it looks like an ordinary rice porridge, who would have thought that the taste would be so outstanding?"

"Xiao Xu's craftsmanship is better, I'll drink more today."

"Me too, this kind of soup is still comfortable to drink."

"..."

Everyone talked in a hurry, which made Lin Xu feel embarrassed.

He tasted it twice, returned to the kitchen, turned off the heat on the stove, and then opened the lid of the pot. The rich aroma in the pot was stronger and more attractive than the one made in the store last time.

Lin Xu took a deep breath, held the bamboo grate with both hands, lifted the pig's head out and put it on the plate.

At this moment, the pig's head is skin-down.

He placed the prepared lettuce leaves to fill the thinner part of the pork face.

Then take a large plate and buckle it on, and use both hands to turn the two plates over.

Take off the top plate, carefully remove the bamboo grate, boil the remaining soup in the pot, and carefully pour it on the pig's head.

This soup can not only increase the aroma and taste of the pig's head, but also increase the texture, making the pig's head more delicious and more addictive.

The two pig heads were all served, and Lin Xu and Shi Wenming brought them to the dining room, put them on the table, and put a basket of hollow steamed buns aside, the dish was complete.

"Is this the grilled whole pig's head? It looks so tempting."

"Yes, the taste is super good, Xu Bao, share it quickly and let our family members taste it."

Shen Jiayue took a photo with her mobile phone "click", and then picked up a hollow steamed bun, ready to eat it with a pig's head in it.

However, the hollow steamed buns are only used as an embellishment. The pig's head is really delicious. The meat is soft and rotten, and the taste is delicious, and it also has the unique sweetness of rock sugar.

This kind of meat makes people can't stop at all.

After everyone finished taking pictures, Lin Xu took the chopsticks and cut the two pig heads into small pieces.

The whole pig head has a pig nose arch with a lot of gelatin, pig ears full of cartilage, and fat and thin pig cheeks. No matter which piece you eat, the taste and texture will not be too bad.

After dividing, everyone followed Shen Jiayue's example and picked up a piece of trembling pork head, sandwiched it with a hollow steamed bun, and brought it to their mouths for a bite.

Immediately, they were fascinated by the aroma and taste of pork head meat.

"It's delicious. The pork head meat that has been stewed for five or six hours has a really different taste."

Lin Hongqi took a bite of the arch of the pig's nose, and couldn't help admiring it.

Chen Meide was also full of praise:

"This time I went to the capital, I just thought that the pressed pork head made by Xiaoxu was delicious enough, but I didn't expect that the roasted whole pig's head tasted even better. I would like to eat a few more pieces today. This meat is so satisfying to eat."

Chen Meiliang took a bite of the hollow steamed bun stuffed with pork, and asked Lin Xu:
"Is this dish served in your restaurant?"

"No, this time I'm going back to try it out. As long as the customer orders in advance, we're ready to cook. But this kind of dish takes a lot of work. If the asking price is low, you will lose money. If the asking price is high, customers may not order it."

At that time, it can only be ordered by reservation.

Make a reservation in advance, so that the kitchen can prepare it calmly, and customers can eat pig heads that are well-cooked.

If it is sold on the same day, even if Lin Xu has a perfect recipe, he can't make it at all. After all, the biggest cost of this dish is time.

In the face of time, other costs are negligible.

Shen Guofu said:
"The roasted whole lamb in the store is more than 1288, so the pig's head must be at least [-]. It can't be too low, otherwise it will appear that the roasted whole lamb is expensive, but it can't be too high. If it is high, everyone will eat the roasted whole lamb. No one will eat the pig's head."

What Lin Xu sandwiches is the root part of the pig's ear, which has many brittle bones, fat and lean meat, and is the essence of the pig's head that is easily overlooked by people.

He chewed his bones and said:

"Let's discuss it when we go back, and then do a small survey to see what range the price is more suitable for."

No matter what the dish is, it will eventually be transformed into profit.

Dishes without profit are useless no matter how popular they are.

It is necessary to find the most perfect balance between sales volume, cost and profit, so as to maximize profits and make more money.

When Shen Guofu mentioned this dish before, everyone thought it was nothing more than a pork head.

But after tasting it, I realized that I still underestimated this dish.

The graceful fragrance and plump taste brought by the fat and lean meat of the pig's head, eye sockets and other parts are all stirring everyone's heartstrings all the time.

I didn't eat one bite, but I wanted to have another bite.

Lin Xu ate two pieces of meat, worried that he would get hurt, so he didn't continue. Instead, he took a bowl of rice with some leftover soup from the stewed pig's head poured into it, and then ate scrambled eggs with wild vegetables.

Although the wild vegetables are small in size, they have a strong fresh flavor. When paired with the fresh fragrance of eggs, they taste even more delicious.

However, the most classic way to eat these wild vegetables should be stir-fried with lard and dried chili.

The reason why Lin Xu didn't make it today is because there is a whole pig's head grilled, and all the dishes at noon today revolve around the pig's head.

After all, this is the core dish and cannot be taken away by other dishes.

After eating two mouthfuls of wild vegetables, he added two slices of fried yellow beef and a few pieces of blood duck to the bowl.

When it comes to eating, you have to have this kind of dish. When paired with rice, the speed of the rice's decline will suddenly accelerate, and your appetite will start to increase unconsciously.

Soon, Lin Xu finished a bowl of rice.

He picked up another hollow steamed bun, but this time instead of a pig's head, he picked up a completely steamed vermicelli ball.

This way of eating originated from the banquet in the past, and at the end a huge ball was sandwiched between steamed buns.

Although this is not a meatball, it is not inferior in terms of texture or taste.

It doesn't look awkward when paired with soft steamed buns. Instead, the steamed buns can absorb the fat on the surface of the meatballs, making it more delicious to eat.

After eating, he got up and went to clean the kitchen.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Shen Jiayue chased after her with a bowl of rice:
"Xubao, is there any more soup for stewed pig's head? I just watched you eat it, and I'm so hungry."

"Also, give me the bowl, and I'll serve you some."

He took the bowl of rice and went to the kitchen, scooped out the gluey stewed soup in the casserole and served it on top of the rice. Even though there was only soup, it was still very good for rice.

Just as Shen Jiayue left, Chen Shaokang and others also came over with rice.

Lin Xu had no choice but to reheat the remaining soup, put it in a small basin, and brought it to the restaurant. Anyone who wanted to bibimbap could scoop some of it.

However, he also kindly reminded that this marinade is super high in calories, so try to eat as little as possible.

Don't spend a new year, adults and children will gain weight.

When he returned to the capital, what was waiting was the ruthless ridicule from his relatives and friends.

Lin Xu didn't know if others would be laughed at, but his baby would definitely be hit by his sister-in-law anyway.

After the meal, everyone had a round belly.

The sun was just right at this moment, and everyone moved chairs and stools and sat in a row in the yard, basking in the sun comfortably.

Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen and looked at the remaining wild vegetables. It was almost enough to make a meal of steamed buns, but not enough to bring home.

He stood by the pigsty, watched Dundun teach the ducks in the cage for a while, and then said:

"The sun is just right now, why don't you go dig wild vegetables?"

These words were immediately agreed by Shen Guofu:
"Okay, just to digest food."

The steamed wild vegetables and fried wild vegetables with eggs at noon left a deep impression on the big boss, and he even felt like he didn't eat enough, so now that he was going to dig wild vegetables, he was naturally the first to agree.

The more you dig, the more you eat.

Everyone got up one after another and changed into neater clothes.

Shen Jiayue said:
"It's not cold in the valley at all. Fortunately, I didn't wear a down jacket, otherwise I would cry in the heat."

The three elderly people took a long walk in the morning, and then followed to dig wild vegetables in the morning. They were really exhausted at the moment and said they would stay and watch the house.

Mrs. Lin rushed and asked:

"Little guy, stay and guard the house with us?"

Dundun immediately ran over wagging his tail, and jumped into the arms of the old lady.

Originally, I really thought it would stay, but when everyone opened the door to get in the car, the little guy rushed into Lin Xu's car with one stride, and then lay down on the driver's platform, and did not get out of the car.

Shen Jiayue on the co-driver held it in her arms and asked viciously:

"You're not going to die in the morning. Seeing that Dad is going now, he followed me like a dog's leg and said, did Dad secretly feed you delicious food?"

Lin Xu closed the car door and saw that Han Shuzhen and Shen Guofu were already seated in the back seat, so he said with a smile:

"In the morning, I stewed some chicken blood in water for it to eat, and it was very happy to eat. When encountering the slaughter of chickens and ducks in the future, the blood should be kept for it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue patted Dundun's butt lightly twice:
"Sure enough, if you have something to eat, you will betray Mommy, right?"

Dundun rubbed against Shen Jiayue's hand in a fawning gesture.

Arriving at the entrance of the valley not far from Starry Sky Base, Lin Xu stopped the car, and waited for his uncles, aunts, aunts, parents, and mothers to arrive, then he took a small hoe and shovel and walked along the valley entrance to build a new building. The plank road goes inside.

Shen Jiayue patted the imitation wood grain railing on the plank road and said:
"Tsk tsk tsk, how much wood does it take?"

Lin Xu said:

"It's all cement, prefabricated with wood-grained moulds, and just a coat of paint."

"Cement?"

Not only Shen Jiayue, but also Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Shaokang and others were all surprised.

Because in their view, these railings are very similar to wood. On the way to dig wild vegetables in the morning, a few little devils were still talking about whether a bunch of fungus would grow in summer, and even planned to pick them.

Now I heard that it was not made of wood, and I was immediately disappointed.

Lin Hongqi said:
"These railings, the vine-shaped railings on Longshou Peak, and the curved railings that look like wood are all made of cement with steel bars inside, which are stronger and more durable."

If it is made of wood, not only will the cost be much higher, but even maintenance and moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatment are required, which is not suitable.

In case there is a piece of wood that is not maintained enough to cause an accident, it will be too much to lose.

The plank road sometimes disappears, and the original natural features are kept as much as possible inside. Occasionally, there will be a small bridge across to the other side or a specially built stone pier, and everyone can go to the opposite side.

This is the dry season, and there is only a narrow stream in the river, which seems to be broken and gurgling, which looks very inconspicuous.

But when summer came, it was a different scene.

The excess water in the reservoir flows out, which will form a river several meters wide. If there is a heavy rain, the middle part of the entire valley will be full of rivers.

The reason why it was not developed here before was also because of the lack of manpower and the fear that some people would stay here, and it would be very dangerous in case of flash floods.

This time, Lin Hongqi planned to hire more people from the nearby villages, and entrust the fire brigade to give everyone safety training, such as fire fighting, disaster relief, etc., to ensure the safety of tourists as much as possible.

Continue to go forward, the valley trend is lower, and the river widens a lot. From time to time, you can see the huge stones that are half the size of a car, and they don't know where they came from.

The temperature here is obviously higher than outside, and all kinds of weeds have broken through the soil on both sides of the river.

Lin Xu unzipped the zipper of his outdoor clothes, picked up Dundun, who was tired from walking, and put it on his shoulders, ready to go down to find wild vegetables.

"I've already searched here, and I have to keep going. There are more in front, and the river is wider. My mother said that someone has picked up jade in the river before."

Shen Jiayue chatted with Lin Xu while walking.

Going forward, the river valley becomes wider. At the same time, plank roads have been built on the hillsides on both sides, and there are upward steps, and there is an emergency shelter at the top.

After walking for a while, the weeds on both sides became lush and lush, as if winter had never come, and it immediately switched from autumn to spring.

"That's it, let's start, Dundun, come down and let Dad dig wild vegetables, you can't dig wild vegetables with you all the time."

Dundun jumped down and followed Lin Xu.

Seriously watched Lin Xu dig up a mother-in-law plant, shake the soil at the root, and put it in the basket.

Then I saw a shepherd's purse, and I shoveled it off with a shovel, and put it in the basket as well.

Everyone dispersed, looking for wild vegetables, but young people didn't know much about wild vegetables.

Although Shen Jiayue came here once in the morning, she used a hoe to dig up an inedible goosegrass. Only then did Lin Xu understand why there were not many wild vegetables dug up in the morning when there were so many people.

Probably because there were too many players like Shen Baobao who were not helpful, which caused the professional players to be held back.

Lin Xu knows wild vegetables.

It's not that he often dug with Mrs. Lin when he was a child, but that he used [-] points to exchange for a set of "Wild Survival Collection" in the system mall. All kinds of medicinal materials and ingredients can be clearly distinguished in his eyes.

Although experience is very important, everything is vulnerable to cheating.

Shen Jiayue dug for a while, Lin Xu saw that half of her basket could only be eaten by a mother-in-law, and it was cut off at the middle, so he said to the girl:
"Stop digging, baby, take Dundun to play around here for a while, it hasn't been here before, it must want to go around..."

"Okay, come on baby, Mommy will take you to pick up stones in the river for fun. It is said that there are many small shiny stones here, they are so beautiful."

When Dundun heard this, he left Lin Xu, followed Shen Jiayue with his butt pouted, and wandered around in the river.

Lin Xu continued to dig wild vegetables and soon dug a basket.

Pour it into the woven bag you brought and continue digging.

Others also harvested, and the further downstream, the more wild vegetables, the more abundant the variety.

At this speed, let alone steamed steamed buns in the afternoon, even steamed buns are more than enough to make dumplings.

While digging, Shen Jiayue's yelling voice came from the river:
"Wow, Dundun pulled out a translucent stone, I don't know if it is jade, it looks so beautiful..."

jade?

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu, who was making up his mind, immediately trotted into the river with the shovel in his hand, intending to see what it was that Dundun pulled out...
