When Li Mengyue thought of dishes such as Mapo Tofu, Braised Tofu, Tofu Pudding, and Pan-fried Tofu, she suddenly realized that she had overlooked a problem.
That is, the food culture of this era was very backward. Poor families basically cooked their dishes in plain water with a little salt, which had no taste and they were reluctant to use oil.
Even when cooking, they only put a little bit in, and the bottom of the pot is polished, so the food tastes very bad.
And according to the host's memory, wealthy families cook a little better and always add tǎn (tǎn), a meat sauce with salt, when stir-frying.
The hostess had eaten so much that she was used to it, but when she first arrived here, she really couldn't accept it, so she cooked the food herself.
Many times, when she was cooking, she would tell her mother intentionally or unintentionally.
Once my mother learns it, she will be able to free her hands and do other things.
After eating the dishes cooked by her daughter, Mrs. Li thought that a young lady from a wealthy family wanted to learn how to cook.
As for cooking, which involves multiple steps instead of just boiling, she subconsciously believed that this was how wealthy families did it.
The villagers who had eaten at Li's house had similar ideas to Li's.
They had no idea that the meals they ate at the Li family were all meals Li Mengyue had eaten before.
In fact, even the emperor in the palace had never eaten the food cooked by Li Mengyue.
The cumin and spicy powder for fried locusts were also mixed by Li Mengyue herself, which can be said to be unique.
Another point is that the fried locust business is so popular in the town not because fried locusts are rare.
But Li Mengyue made three flavors, all of which were flavors that people in the town had tasted before. Once you had them, you would never forget them and would want to keep eating them.
It’s not that no one asked about the seasoning, but Li Mengyue didn’t care much. She was selling fried locusts and had no intention of getting into the spice business.
Especially the cumin and spicy flavors, which sell the most every day, while the fragrant ones are rarely bought, so we no longer make the fragrant ones in the past few days.
In order to make the tofu delicacy she wanted, Li Mengyue decided to add some spices.
She only has a few medicinal herbs on hand now, and she has to buy them from the pharmacy.
"Mom, I have something to do in town. I'll be back before dark."
"Yueyue, be careful when you go out."
"OK."
Li Mengyue told Li about her plans to go out and went back to the town.
When we arrived at Qingshan Town, we took a quick look and found that there were more than ten people queuing in front of the stall of the Li Dazhu brothers. It seemed that their business was very good today.
Li Mengyue didn't go to any stalls, but went straight to her destination, Tongxin Hall.
As soon as she reached the gate of Tongxin Hall, she was spotted by Doctor Wang's sharp-eyed apprentice, who quickly ran outside and invited Li Mengyue in.
"Miss Li, the master is not seeing patients today. Let's go to the backyard. Do you want me to call the master over?"
"No, I'll just grab some herbs and leave."
Doctor Wang's apprentice took advantage of Li Mengyue's absence from picking herbs to go into the backyard.
"Master, Master, Miss Li is here."
Doctor Wang was practicing acupuncture with a scarecrow when he heard his apprentice calling him loudly. He accidentally pricked his finger with the needle and blood started to flow.
"Ah! Master, hurry up, wrap it up."
Before Doctor Wang could react, his bleeding finger had been bandaged by his apprentice.
"No." Doctor Wang saw that his apprentice was very nervous and comforted him.
There are all kinds of difficulties in the process of studying medicine. It's just a little bleeding, so what's the big deal?
"Who did you say was coming?"
