Chapter 1414 Chapter One Thousand 410 One: The next best stinky tofu

A piece of top-quality stinky tofu opened the door to a new world for Long Ziyun!
The sauce made with scallion bean paste and chili oil is thick but not salty, moderately spicy, the minced green onion is fresh and pleasant, and the tempeh is sticky and soft, which immediately opens up the appetite and makes the best foreshadowing for the protagonist tofu.

The surface of the stinky tofu is very thick, but the inside is full of gaps. It is first fried and then put into the sauce to cook for a while. The slightly spicy and fragrant sauce has fully penetrated the gap, and the aroma is overflowing after one bite. The skin is chewy Strong, fresh and delicious inside, especially there is an indescribable deliciousness in it, like fish is not fish, if bacteria is not bacteria, the taste and taste are very wonderful, once you taste it, you will never forget it.

The expression froze, then turned into astonishment, and then turned into surprise. The process of change was exactly the same as when Li Changfeng tasted it just now.

Seeing the change in Long Ziyun's expression, King Chu was dumbfounded, Feng Rulie was dumbfounded, everyone was dumbfounded, Long Wuer turned his head and glanced, and of course he was also dumbfounded.

What's the situation, such stinky tofu is really delicious?Is even Long Ziyun moved by it?
"Unexpectedly..." Long Ziyun quickly gave the answer, and then continued, "It's really delicious!"

There was an uproar in the audience, and all the candidates fell into a state of confusion. Long Ziyun could give an affirmative answer, indicating that Qin Yu's stinky tofu was indeed delicious, but they still couldn't figure it out. How can it taste delicious?How did Qin Yu do it?Is there any mystery in this?
"Is it strange why there is such a big contrast between smell and taste?" Qin Yu asked.

Long Ziyun didn't care about personal grievances with Qin Yu, nodded and said: "Why?"

"This is about the production principle of stinky tofu. There are two ways to make stinky tofu, one is pickling and fermentation, and the other is aeration microbial fermentation. These pieces of green and black stinky tofu are made by pickling. The fermentation method, while the other two use the aeration microbial fermentation method." Qin Yu replied.

"Microorganisms, tiny organisms, are you talking about bacterial strains?" Long Ziyun actually knew the bacterial strains, but it didn't matter if he thought about it. Edible fungi are very common in any place. With Long Ziyun's ability, he is sure about the bacterial strains. Have a deep understanding.

Qin Yu nodded and said: "The core of the two methods is the bacterial strain. The type and growth degree of the bacterial strain directly affect the smell and taste of stinky tofu. Usually, the types of bacterial strains are very heterogeneous and the growth degree is difficult to control. The stinky tofu is all controllable, and the pure growth and uniform fermentation of the strain is just right, so the taste and taste of the stinky tofu can be the best."

"The strains are so small that they cannot be distinguished at all. How do you distinguish and screen them, and how do you control them?" Li Changfeng asked curiously. It is very common for mushrooms to grow other fungi, which is the consequence of being unable to distinguish.

Qin Yu smiled slightly: "This is my secret. All in all, the decomposition of tofu protein by the strain will produce different amino acids, only some of which can bring delicious taste. The strain I chose can produce rich umami amino acids, such as The amount of glutamic acid is ten times or a hundred times higher than that of ordinary tofu, so its deliciousness is no less than that of chicken, duck and fish, and it smells bad, but it tastes delicious!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they couldn't understand the amino acid glutamic acid at all, it didn't affect their understanding of Qin Yu's meaning. In a word, his tofu was the best!

"There are indeed similar records in ancient books, but the source and formation principle of the umami taste are not clarified. Listening to you, is it possible that the umami taste is always related to the strain?" Li Changfeng seemed to understand.

"No, no, the umami taste of fungi plants and fermented ingredients is related to the strains. The umami taste in chicken, duck and fish comes from the decomposition of their own proteins. The specific classification and formation principles are a bit complicated. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will organize them. Write an article and submit it to the Food Classics, and share it with the world.”

Qin Yu couldn't explain any further, so he simply dumped his surname to Shijing. As for how many people could understand the article, it didn't matter to him.

Not only Li Changfeng, but everyone was happy after hearing this. As a Dashi, he can only improve if he can learn new things. If Qin Yu can thoroughly analyze the mystery and make it public, it will definitely benefit Dashi all over the world.You know, this is important knowledge that even ancient books can't clarify!

"Okay, then I'll wait for your article. Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. It's important to enjoy the food. Hurry up and get me another piece!" Li Changfeng took advantage of Long Ziyun's thinking and made a lightning move, successfully grabbed a piece of stinky tofu, and immediately sent it to the mouth Chew carefully.

This piece of stinky tofu is blue-black, with a tough skin. It feels like eating dried tofu, but it is more elastic and thicker than dried tofu. Original taste.

The sauce is pepper sauce, which is made with pepper powder, sesame oil, dark soy sauce, white vinegar, tea oil, sugar, salt, etc. The taste is balanced and perfect, salty and slightly spicy, especially appetizing, especially the numbness on the lips and tongue The feeling of being more immersed in it, the more fragrant it becomes.

Long Ziyun suddenly woke up, feeling very dissatisfied with Li Changfeng's behavior of snatching things, how can he get them back after eating all the food?

In desperation, Long Ziyun didn't bother to think about it, and hurriedly pricked a piece of fried stinky tofu, dipped a little more sauce into his mouth and chewed.

Qin Yu thought to himself that they are all connoisseurs of food, a small bite of stinky tofu is boring, and only by chewing the whole piece in big mouthfuls can you experience the wonderful feeling.Of course, this is also to relieve the pressure on the nose. After all, the nose will not be able to smell it after eating it all.

"Wait, I'll try it too!" Seeing Li Changfeng and Long Ziyun moving continuously, the King of Chu finally couldn't hold back his craving for food, ran over swallowing his saliva, tied up a piece and put it in his mouth while pinching his nose. , carefully and tentatively chewed a couple of mouthfuls, his eyes lit up immediately, he no longer had any doubts, and started chewing with a big mouthful of peace of mind.

Long Wu'er endured the discomfort and turned around, seeing Long Ziyun and the king of Chu's tasting with heart, she was almost out of breath, is there any mistake, such a stinky thing can taste so delicious, your tongue Is everything wrong?
"Leave me a piece!" Long Wu'er suddenly shouted softly, and walked over holding her breath.

"You want to taste it too?" Long Ziyun and King Chu stopped at the same time and turned to look at Long Wu'er.

Everyone was also surprised by Long Wu'er's decision. It was obviously so spicy, but they insisted on tasting it. What if they were rushed?
"My princess wants to see what this stinky thing tastes like, and whether it is as delicious as you said!" Long Wu'er almost gritted her teeth and said this, and she was willing to go all out.

There was just the last piece left in the exquisite paper box, so Long Ziyun personally tied a toothpick and handed it to Long Wuer.

Long Wu'er held the toothpick, turned it around and covered it with sauce, took three deep breaths in a row, closed her eyes, held her breath, opened her mouth wide, and suddenly put the whole stinky tofu into her mouth.

At this moment, she was ready to die!
