Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 135 Lively New Year ([-])

"Husband, come quickly, sister Cai has made a new dish, would you like to try it?"

As soon as Yang Yu entered the backyard, Shaoyao's voice came. It seemed that Shaoyao had been waiting for Yang Yu, and so did her other daughters. Cai Yan was holding a pottery bowl, Looking at Yang Yu, I want Yang Yu to eat what she served.

"This is?" Tofu Nao, "husband, this is tofu. It is a kind of soy food that I learned from others when I was in Luoyang. I only remembered it after listening to your folk song." Cai Yan and Yang Yu invited credit.

Could it be that there is no tofu in this era, and this tofu brain is not called tofu. It seems that the folk song before is a bit out of date, but fortunately, there will be tofu as a food in the future.

"Thank you, my husband, for letting someone make a grinding mill. Now we have the opportunity to cook some food by ourselves. Otherwise, everyone will use those public mills, and some things really can't be made."

This is also what Yang Yu thought of when he was idle. He asked the craftsmen to make a grinding disc with stones, and almost every family has a grinding disc of this kind. When using it, a small household can grind things by itself. In a big family’s house, two maids can be used to grind things, but now, Cai Yan directs the maids to grind the soybean milk, and then put the soybean brain made of plaster.

The only thing that makes Yang Yu suspicious is that in this era, there is no tofu. This is a big deal. No wonder, he has always felt that something is missing. of food.

"Husband, don't underestimate this tofu. This is a food that only real nobles can eat. It is said that there is a beautiful story about it, Liu An, the king of Huainan..."

From Cai Yan's story, Yang Yu learned that this bean brain was only produced in the Han Dynasty, and it hadn't really become popular all over the country. Naturally, there would be no real tofu.

"Well, it smells so good, you all have to try it too." Looking at the anxious looks of the crowd, Yang Yu knew that these people just made it and didn't taste it.

"In the future, if there is anything delicious, you don't have to wait for me to come back to eat, you just eat it first, otherwise, you see, it's a bit cold."

"Look, what I said, my husband doesn't care about what we eat first, well, let's try it all, try the delicacy made by Sister Cai." Shao Yao was a little unhappy, obviously, as a big woman, she was rejected The other three of them objected unanimously, which made them a little uncomfortable.

"Well, it's delicious, smooth, and tender." This is the true feeling of the girls. Indeed, this tofu, although it is the most popular food in later generations, is also an ingredient that can be used in high school and low school , It is also known as vegetarian meat. Naturally, these women will think it is delicious, but in Yang Yu's mouth, that is the same thing.

"I said madam, have you ever thought about processing this tofu again?" When everyone finished eating, Yang Yu saw that there were still a lot of bean brains in front of him, and he began to diverge his thinking. In fact, he was also trying to induce Cai Yan, let her take the initiative to do it.

"Husband, tell me, how can I reprocess this?" Cai Yan was a little puzzled, you know, she doesn't really know how to make food, but she has a lot of contact with things, so she can make some things, and, some She lets the maid do the making of things, but she doesn't know how to do it herself, such as brewing wine, but now that she is pregnant, she hasn't been to the brewery for a long time.

"Have you noticed that this tofu, look, the water is blue, and the color of the soy milk is different. Besides, the taste of this water is different from that of white tofu. Otherwise, we Filter the water out and see what happens."

"Well, yes, I'll try it first." How to try, Cai Yan actually began to pour out the syrup in the bowl. What can this make? It's not soy milk, or slightly dry soy milk.

"This way, it won't work, come here, bring me a sieve, and a piece of burlap." No way, Yang Yu had to do it himself. Fortunately, there was a bamboo sieve, otherwise, he would need someone to weave a sieve.

"Put this sackcloth in the pot and boil." Yang Yu began to direct the maids to work.

First of all, he should pay attention to the hygiene of this food. Naturally, it is appropriate to boil the linen in a pot. Then, he has to wash it several times to wash off some of the things on it. Even a sieve must be used. Wash with boiling water several times.

"Husband, are you going to use sackcloth to filter the water? You won't even filter out the tofu?" The women expressed their confusion.

"Hehe, even if I try it, it's just a matter of a few catties of soybeans." Gao Xiuniang frowned at the catties of soybeans. Among them, she was the only one who cared about food the most. Shaoyao doesn't pay much attention to the waste of food. This is related to their experiences when they were young. Although Shaoyao suffered a lot with Yang Yu, Yang Yu really didn't let Shaoyao go hungry, nor Let her worry about food, and even said that among the four girls, peony was the best to eat when she was a teenager.

However, Gao Xiuniang just frowned and didn't say much, she was the least eloquent among the four girls.

"Pour all the tofu in the pot into it." Yang Yu leveled the sackcloth in the sieve, and directed the maid to pour the bean brains into the sieve.

"Well, that's it, control the water inside."

Step by step, Yang Yu directed the maids to do it.

"Ladies, let's see what this new tofu looks like?" Finally, the tofu can be taken out.

"This, this turned out to be one, husband, how do you take it out?" Cai Yan exclaimed.

"Look, can't it be taken out like this?" Yang Yu used a kitchen knife to cut the tofu inside into cubes while speaking.

"Here, do you still need to use a knife to cut it?" "No, just use a smooth and thin wooden board. Isn't there no handy tool, so I have to use a knife." Yang Yu explained.

"This, this is the real tofu!" Cai Yan sighed, holding a piece of tofu with both hands, but Yang Yu was thinking that it would be best if Cai Yan could come to a section of tofu at this time.

It's a pity that this ordinary life has worn away the talent of a talented woman. Even Cai Yan's most famous poems in later generations are not complete. Now, her husband and son are the most important thing for her. Responsibility, even, there is a struggle between several women.

Looking at the tofu in Cai Yan's hands, Yang Yu thought to himself, it turns out that this tofu was invented by himself.

"Ladies, come and try this kind of tofu. Although it's a bit cold, it's not too cold."

"Mmm, it's delicious. This one feels different from the one just now, my husband is a great talent." Now, all the flattery is paid for.

…………

Looking at the four smiling ladies, Yang Yu suddenly had an impulse to just guard them and not care about the war. Unfortunately, this is impossible, the main theme of this era is war, and, Yang Yu Yu's subordinates would not just be willing to guard this piece of land in Youzhou now, this place is still too small for people to move around.
