Chapter 405 Thousands of
Although smoked tofu is smoked, it still retains a fresh and tender taste.
The Chiba tofu tastes a bit like smoked fruit wood.
Zhao Yeqing reopened the drying room and took the fruit wood that was originally used to make kiln chicken in the backyard to the drying room to smoke tofu.
The last time they made the baked chicken, they encountered a wolf pack incident. By the time the two of them had finished dealing with everything and remembered it again, the chicken had been covered in the charcoal for too long and was mostly carbonized.
Later, the two of them began to build a fence and had no time to think about making food. The earthen kiln was still there at the back, and they would only prepare to kill chickens again when they had time next time.
After the wall was built, Zhao Yeqing thought about having a bean and rice hotpot and taking a good rest for the next two days, and then replenishing the used gasoline before considering what to do next.
The original plan was to build a fence more than two meters high, which could block the wolves, and then start to build the remaining fences, that is, the fences around the grain field.
That being said, the sweet potatoes we have planted are almost ready to eat, and we still have to find time to harvest them all.
Mu Xi put the tofu into the refrigerator, and when he came out, he brought Zhao Yeqing a bowl of tofu pudding with sugar in it. The weather was a bit hot, and the two of them preferred the sweet tofu pudding that was chilled with sugar, which tasted cool and relieved the heat.
"I once had authentic brine tofu in Northeast China. The aroma of the bean curd is so delicious that you will remember it forever. Unfortunately, we don't have brine here, so we can only use gypsum to make tofu. When the gypsum runs out, we can only use vinegar."
Zhao Yeqing poked the tofu pudding in the bowl with a spoon, stirred it, scooped up a piece and put it into his mouth. He sighed through his nose, his expression full of nostalgia for the marinated tofu, "You don't know, that tofu, even without anything added to it, has a hint of sweetness after it is ordered."
Well-made brine tofu has a tender texture, and is no worse than gypsum tofu.
The tofu they made with this gypsum was always inferior in quality.
The ordered tofu was spread flat on the gauze-covered board, and pressed on top with an equally flat wooden board. Mu Xi also put his entire weight on it, and the moisture in the tofu was squeezed out.
After squeezing, the wooden board cannot be removed. A large stone has to be placed on top to press it down. It has to be pressed for a whole day until the inside is flattened. Then the wooden board is uncovered and dried. Only then can it be considered a finished thousand sheets.
Mu Xi finished all the tofu pudding in the bowl in one breath and checked the drying of the thousand sheets. "We can make vegetarian chicken after it's dried... We have so many chickens at home, and you still want to eat vegetarian chicken..."
Zhao Yeqing also finished his tofu pudding, walked over to take the empty bowl from his hand and put it back in the kitchen, not forgetting to glare at him, "Can vegetarian chicken and chicken be the same thing?"
The sliced vegetarian chicken is stir-fried with the stir-fried chili peppers, and then drizzled with a little freshly brewed soy sauce... Wow, the taste is so good that I wouldn’t even trade it for meat.
The tofu can be eaten after being smoked for one day. This smoked tofu is not like the usual smoked tofu whose surface turns yellow after being braised. Instead, it retains the original white color of the tofu, but becomes a little gray after being smoked.
The still fresh taste has a light smoky flavor, which is the taste that Zhao Yeqing likes.
The thawed pork belly was fried until golden brown. Both of them were very good at eating meat, so they had to have some tender pork belly. Mu Xi fried a full stainless steel basin the size of a basketball.
Before the hot pot started cooking, Zhao Yeqing wandered into the kitchen, pinched a piece of fried pork belly with two fingers and put it into his mouth.
