An hour later, Du Heng removed the water from the tofu mold and lifted the lid.Under the expectant eyes of Jing Nan and the others, he buckled the mold back and got two pieces of... old tofu like white jade.
How to eat old tofu?There are many methods, tofu is versatile, and can be cooked with meat. After cooking, the square tofu cubes are full of broth and taste better than meat.It can be boiled into a pot of soup, put a few small green vegetables, and the green and white bowl looks refreshing and easy to eat.You can cook a bowl of hot and spicy mapo tofu with the red pepper, and you will feel hot and energetic after eating it.
Du Heng thought for a while, then took out a piece of tofu, and he took out a wooden basin, filled it with water and kept the tofu in it.
Xiaoxiao squatted on the stove and chirped twice, Du Heng explained: "I'm making tofu braised pork, and then I'm making tofu soup. Eat more vegetarian tonight, and tomorrow I'll make stewed pork for you, okay?" Smiling and nodding again and again: "Jiujiu~"
After pouring soybean oil into the hot pan, Du Heng sprinkled a little salt on the pan.He slid the tofu cut into large pieces along the edge of the pot to the bottom of the pot, and suddenly a puff of white oily smoke came out of the pot, making a piercing sound.After a while, the side close to the pot turned golden. Du Heng turned it over with long chopsticks, and the golden side faced upwards.
Xiaoxiao let out a trembling chirp in surprise, Du Heng laughed: "The six sides of this will be golden brown, and it will not easily fall apart when it is cooked with the meat."
Xiaoxiao stretched his neck and wanted to take a closer look at the tofu in the pot. Du Heng hurriedly hugged him down: "How many times have I told you, don't go on the stove, if you fall into the pot and peel it, you will burn it." .”
Feng Gui, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, said calmly, "No."
Du Heng was taken aback: "What?"
Feng Gui said: "Speaking of which, Xiaoxiao and I both belong to the demon cultivator of the fire department, not to mention falling into the pot, even ordinary demon fire will not harm us. Even if it falls into your frying pan, Xiaoxiao will be harmed." I can swim out."
Du Heng's face turned dark: "Is that so? But I'm not only worried about Xiaoxiao." If Xiaoxiao fell into the shower, how would she eat the food?
After the tofu is fried, it is golden on the plate, square and neatly arranged, which is pleasing to the eye.
Jing Nan walked over and poked a piece of tofu: "Can it still be like this?"
Du Heng smiled and said: "Yes, there are many ways to eat tofu, and I can also make stinky tofu. If everyone likes it, I will make some someday."
Fenggui said to Xiaoxiao: "For the sake of finding Du Heng and coming back, I won't pursue the matter of running away from home." Take it to heart.
The braised pork that Du Heng made today is a simple version, and there is no need to tie the meat with straw ropes for stewing.
Du Heng was busy on the stove, Feng Gui stood up and walked around the kitchen: "I don't know what's going on, but I can smell a sweet smell today."
Jing Nan's eyes lit up: "I smelled it too."
The two walked towards Du Heng's wine barrel secretly: "It's the smell inside."
Only then did Du Heng remember the rice wine he made a few days ago. It has been three or four days, and the temperature in the kitchen is right, and the wine should have precipitated out.
Du Heng hurriedly called out: "You put it there and don't move, I'll come, let me come!!"
Braised pork stewed with tofu gurgling in one pot, and Ling rice stewed in the other.Du Heng put the lid on the pot with confidence, and now he is free to look at his rice wine.
Du Heng took away the quilt on the wooden barrel, and a strong fermented sweet aroma came out.Even Xuan Yu couldn't help standing beside him, and Du Heng opened the wine barrel a little nervously.The moment the wooden cover was lifted, the sweet fragrance bloomed in the kitchen like fireworks.
Du Heng looked at the wooden barrel, and saw that milky white wine pulp had appeared in the hole he dug out in the wooden barrel.The Lingmi that once sank to the bottom had swelled a bit, floating on the wine syrup like a big donut.
Du Heng pressed it with a clean wooden spoon, and a lot of wine pulp precipitated out of the Lingmi.
Du Heng was happy: "I thought it would take ten days and half a month to drink it, but I didn't expect it to be ready soon. Fortunately, you have good noses, otherwise I would have forgotten to take a look."
Xuanyu had already taken a big bowl and stood beside Du Heng. Du Heng smiled and filled the bowl with a spoon full of wine: "This is the original wine, it is sweet, and you can drink it even with a smile. Everyone, try it look."
Feng Gui and Jing Nan took a sip from the bowl, and Jing Nan smacked his lips: "It's so sweet, this tastes good." Feng Gui said: "It says it's wine syrup, but the taste of wine is not strong. I believe it is fruit syrup. .”
Du Heng looked at Xuanyu who was tasting with a smile on his face: "How is it? Is it delicious?" Xuanyu put down the bowl: "It's delicious."
This is so anxious Xiaoxiao, I heard that he can also drink, Xiaoxiao has been bouncing around the legs of everyone.After the three adults drank a bowl of wine, there was only a little bit left, and Xuanyu handed it to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao held the bowl with her two little wings and took a sip cherishingly: "Chirp~~" He likes this taste.Du Heng said with a smile: "This is just the initial liquor. If it wants to become the usual wine, it needs to undergo secondary fermentation."
But Du Heng likes this level of rice wine, and the current Lingmi is Jiuniang, which can be used to cook many things.Du Heng also liked this kind of sweet wine with a slight alcohol taste, so he decided to keep some and let the rest be fermented for a second time.
Xiaoxiao finished drinking the rice wine in a short while, and he held the bowl and made a coquettish chirping sound to Du Heng.
Du Heng smiled and took a spoonful of wine mixed with Lingmi in Xiaoxiao's bowl: "Although the alcohol content is relatively low now, you can't drink too much, be careful not to get drunk."
The fermented Lingmi has lost the distinct taste of the rice grains, and the rice grains have become loose, and it tastes like a sweet wine.
Du Heng scooped out some and handed it to Xuanyu and the others: "This is fermented glutinous rice, which can be used to cook glutinous rice balls." Xuanyu took a sip and nodded: "Not bad."
Du Heng couldn't be more happy: "Then I'll put some of it out for cooking in the future, and the rest will continue to ferment, okay?"
Jing Nan asked, "What will it taste like after continuing to ferment?"
Du Heng said: "It will not be so sweet, the alcohol content will become higher, and the color will become clearer. In the end, it will become the kind of wine that everyone drinks, and it is okay to keep it for a long time."
Feng came back interested: "Really?" Du Heng said: "What did you lie to you for? You'll know when I'm done."
Taking advantage of the large number of people, Du Heng divided the wine in the barrel into two parts, and put one part in a small wooden barrel and put it in a storage bag.In this way, the fermented rice will stop fermenting, and it will taste the same sweetness when eaten.
After digging out half of the Lingmi, the liquor and Lingmi in the barrel were reduced by half, and the barrel looked much bigger.But it doesn't matter, Du Heng will add Liangbaikai soon to let it continue to ferment.
Du Heng dug out half of the fermented rice, and will add a little more cool white boiled later.After a while, the rice wine in the barrel will complete the second fermentation.When the time comes, take out the distiller's grains, and the remaining rice wine can be drunk.
Because the brewing of Lingmi wine was successful, everyone at the dinner table had a large bowl of rice wine in front of them.To be honest, simply eating Jiuniang will have a sweet feeling.But Du Heng also made other dishes, which are especially delicious when paired with them.
Du Heng's stewed tofu with braised pork in thick oil and red sauce made the tofu trembling after soaking up the soup.After the slightly tough tofu skin that is fried on the outside is pinched, the soft inside will be exposed.There are some holes in the inside, which are filled with soup.
Take a bite, the taste of tofu is more delicious than meat.It's just that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Xiaoxiao is because she is too anxious, and she puffs and puffs while eating, but still choked tears roll in her eyes.
However, even with tears rolling around, Xiaoxiao still held the bowl and refused to let go of her wings.
In addition to tofu braised pork, Du Heng also made mapo tofu.This dish is deeply loved by Feng Gui.
Fenggui cut a hole in the white Lingmi rice, and poured red tofu into the hole with a spoon.He took the chopsticks and mixed the tofu and rice together.The thickened tofu and rice immediately became sticky, and Feng Gui sent them to his mouth with satisfaction.
At this time, you can see how double-standard Feng Gui is. It’s no problem for him to mix the rice by himself. If Xiaoxiao mixes it like this, he will immediately start to dislike it: “Hey, it’s so disgusting.”
It's just that Xiaoxiao has already ignored him, no matter what Feng Gui said, Xiaoxiao stuck his head in the rice bowl and didn't lift it up.
Every time Xuanyu eats, he looks like an old monk in meditation. Every time, Du Heng can't tell whether he likes it or not.Every time I only saw him eating three bowls in a regular manner, and after finishing the three bowls, he put down the bowls and chopsticks.
As a cook, Du Heng is somewhat sure of the tastes of the diners. For example, Jing Nan likes salty and fresh food, and Feng Gui likes spicy food.And Xuanyu... Du Heng is not sure.
Du Heng thought, before Xuanyu entered the village, he must have been a pampered and well-educated disciple of a rich family with a good family education.Because Xuanyu is very restrained when eating, and usually speaks and does things without showing emotions.On TV, this is the temperament that only emperors have.
Du Heng was so sure.
The tofu feast at night won unanimous praise. Du Heng planned to soak more beans and make more tofu in two days.As the New Year is approaching, there are many places that need tofu.
In previous years, every New Year's day, Du's father would soak a large pot of soybeans, and opened a stone mill early in the morning to grind soybean milk and some tofu.The mapo tofu and homemade tofu in their private restaurant are often ordered by diners.
Sometimes the diners have to pack a portion to take home after eating, and the neighbors will come home with two yuan when they see Papa Du making tofu.
After dinner, Xuanyu was clearing the table. Du Heng took out the tendon meat of Kui Niu from the storage bag, and soaked the tendon meat in water.
Xuanyu asked puzzledly: "Is it soaking now?" Du Heng said: "Yes, I will cook them all and put them in the pot before going to bed, so that the marinated meat will be more flavorful."
The taste of stewed pork is different from each store, and each store has its own recipe and taste.After marinating the meat, you can eat it anyway, but Du Heng thinks that it is quite complicated to make the stewed meat delicious.
Some stores use brine that has been around for hundreds of years. Hundreds of meats come and go in a pot of brine, and the brine that absorbs the aroma of different meats will become a family heirloom of the store.
But this kind of stewed vegetables has something that Du Heng doesn't like. In order to save the marinade or make the dishes look better, the store will add a lot of salt to the marinade.Sometimes the stewed vegetables bought by luck are moderately salty, but if you are unlucky, the stewed vegetables you buy back will be abnormally salty.
The marinade in Du Heng's family is always freshly made, and the stewed meat in his family is different from the color of the thick oily red sauce, and soy sauce is never added to the marinade to enhance the color.After the stewed vegetables in his family are made, they are usually used as cold dishes, and then served with dipping sauces.
Du Heng's white-cut beef, salted duck and white-cut chicken are quite famous in their area.

Du Heng looked at the water in which the beef tendon was soaked, and he was puzzled again: "It is reasonable to say that the beef has the most blood in it. How come there is still no blood seeping out of the tendon meat after soaking for so long?"
Xuanyu said calmly, "It's probably because Lao Dao is particularly good at bleeding." Well, Xuanyu has already mentioned this reason last time.
Du Heng thought for a while and then accepted: "Lao Dao must be a very good hunter. He brought us so many ingredients last time. I will make more braised meat later. Next time Lao Dao comes, I can let him Take it away." Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes, good."
Du Heng asked again: "Is Lao Dao's family on the West Mountain? When he came last time, I saw that he came down from the West Mountain."
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and Du Heng had only been to Nanshan after he came to the village, and he was too scared to go up by the wild beasts in Nanshan.It's a pity that he and Jing Nan set up four traps, and I don't know if any prey fell into them later.
Xuan Yu said: "Yes, when the snow melts, I can take you to see Lao Dao's cave." Speaking of why Du Heng is so interested in Lao Dao, Xuan Yu asked: "You seem to pay special attention to Lao Dao .”
Du Heng scratched his hair embarrassingly: "Did you see it? Actually, I like the dog raised by Lao Dao."
Xuanyu took a subtle look at Du Heng, and his voice was higher than usual: "You... like that dog? Do you like Chaos?"
Du Heng nodded: "Yes, what a beautiful big yellow dog."
Rhubarb is bigger than normal large dogs, covered with yellow and white fur, honest and obedient, it looks like a good dog.
Du Heng remembered an incident when he was a teenager: "When I was young, a girl from a family in our village married a village more than ten miles away. The family she married had a big yellow dog, just like the rhubarb of the old knife. Then a dog..."
The corner of Du Heng's mouth could not help but provoke a smile, he was immersed in his own thoughts.
Xuan Yu asked: "What happened to that dog?"
Du Heng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "That dog is the smartest dog I have ever seen. I still remember its name. Its name is Huang Xi. It will follow the married girl to our village. At the door, the owner calls it to come in, and it only enters the door. It does not eat what we feed it, unless the owner nods, it will eat.
Its owner's house was on fire, and the family upstairs didn't know it. It was Huang Xi who called desperately to call the owner's house down.Without Huang Xi, the whole family might be gone.It is very obedient and smart. Although my family has many dogs, none of them can compare with Da Huangxi. "
When Du Heng talked about Huang Xi, an astonishing look burst into his eyes. He still remembered Huang Xi's appearance, which was exactly the same as Lao Dao's Chaos, that's why he liked Chaos so much when he saw it.
Du Heng said expectantly: "It would be great if Lao Dao's wontons went out to breed. His wontons are of a good variety, and the puppies they give birth to must be good-looking. If someone has a puppy, we will take one back and raise it."
Xuan Yu said: "His name is Chaos."
Du Heng smiled and said, "Hahaha, let me tell you secretly, I think it's more festive to call it Wonton. If there is a puppy in the future, how about we name it Wonton?"
Xuan Yu's eyes became very gentle, and he smiled gently: "Okay."
Tonight I will force Lao Dao to go out for breeding. No matter what, he will see the little yellow dog after a while.
In Du Heng's impression, everything can be marinated.In addition to the big lumps of beef tendon, he found the hooves of the earthy mountain paste that was left before.
At that time, the remaining four hooves from eating soil mole, together with the remaining hooves from the pickled mountain paste, looked like there was no meat, but if it could be stewed carefully, it would have a unique flavor.
Cleaning up the leftovers is a delicate job, if not cleaned up, the things made will have a strange smell.
Under the light of the night pearl, Du Heng pulled out a burning bloodthirsty vine from under the stove.He made an iron clip, and moved a small stool to stand beside the small stove.The clip clamped the hoof and placed it on the stove. The thin hairs on the hoof were burned by the flames, making a slight crackling sound, and a burnt smell came out.
Xuanyu also moved a small stool and sat next to Du Heng. He looked at the pile of hooves on the ground and said, "This...has no meat."
Du Heng smiled and said: "Yes, there is no meat, but it tastes good if it is cooked well. You see, we have a lot of hooves of mountain paste here. I marinated four today, and the rest will be processed another day. Make seaweed soup."
Xuanyu said: "If a general demon cultivator devours other monsters, he either chooses the fat parts and eats them, or swallows them in one gulp. It is rare to see someone handle them so delicately. I have seen many cultivators before, but I've never seen anyone handle it so complicated."
Du Heng rolled over on the flames with his hooves between his legs: "That's because all the energy of human cultivation is spent on cultivation. Didn't Jing Nan say it before? Many monks who started their career as cooks chose to give up in the end, so there is no How many people still deal with this stuff?"
Xuan Yu was thoughtful, and after a while he asked: "Do you want to be a chef?"
Although he told Mr. Xia that Du Heng started his career as a cook, he never asked Du Heng what he wanted.
Du Heng raised his eyes to look at Xuan Yu, his brows were curved: "I don't want to."
Du Heng put the burnt mountain paste hoof in the wooden basin next to it to soak. After the mountain paste hoof was burnt, the surface turned black, which looked completely different from the white and clean hoof before.
Du Heng said: "I am a person with no great ambitions, and I even feel that practice is a strange thing to me. The reason why I cook is simply because I like it. When I saw Xiaoxiao happily eating When I was eating, I saw you and Jing Nan talking and laughing around the dining table when tasting the dishes I made, and when I heard you praise the dishes I made, I was very happy. "
Du Heng said softly: "It is a kind of happiness to be able to cook delicious food for relatives and friends. It is also a kind of happiness to have someone who appreciates and trusts by your side. Speaking of it..."
Du Heng looked at Xuanyu and said: "I haven't expressed my gratitude to you solemnly. Xuanyu, I feel very happy that you and Xiaoxiao can bring me to the village. Thank you for giving me a place to shelter from the wind and rain. ...and thank you for trusting me and supporting me."
Xuan Yu remained silent for a long time, and after Du Heng finished speaking, he went on busy again.In no time he had finished firing all the hooves.A pile of feet soaked in the tub, Du Heng took a wooden brush and brushed them carefully.
The skin of the cleaned hoof turned golden. Du Heng shaved off the hard nails on the hoof, cut open the hoof, and removed the hair follicle in the middle of the foot.
Du Heng threw all the ingredients into the pot, and added more than half of the pot of water in the pot.The tendons and hooves were stuffed into a pot so full that the lid almost couldn't be covered.
While waiting for the water to boil, Du Heng was preparing the marinade package.
This is the top-secret formula of Du Heng's family, and it will not be passed on to the outside world.Du Heng used a small piece of gauze to sew a cloth pocket, and then put dozens of spices in the cloth pocket.
Xuanyu didn't know much about spices, he only saw Du Heng dig out the oiled paper packets bought from Zhou's shop, and pick and choose inside.After Du Heng finished picking and prepared the seasoning packets, the water in the pot also boiled.
Du Heng skimmed off the few froth on the water surface. After blanching, the tendons shrank, and the pot lid, which was almost too big to cover, can now be easily covered.Du Heng turned over with chopsticks, so that all the stewed products could be soaked in the water.
At this time, he pressed the bulging seasoning packet into the soup, and he also clamped a hoof to press the seasoning packet.
Strange to say, after the seasoning bag was thrown into the pot, a scent permeated the air.Xuanyu had never smelled this smell before, it was like the smell of spiritual plants placed next to Jing Nan's alchemy room, but it didn't have the bitter medicinal smell.Mixed with the taste of the broth, it is a bit tantalizing.
Du Heng closed the lid with satisfaction, and clapped his hands happily: "It's finished, let's go and have a rest!" He has already set the time for the bottom of the pot to be heated, and he will get a pot of water by tomorrow morning. Delicious lo mei!
This soup will be used tomorrow, and it can also be used to marinate eggs and dried tofu. He can even dig some bamboo shoots and put them in to marinate together.Anyway, the temperature is not high, it can be stored in the storage bag for a long time, and you can take it out to eat when you want to eat.
It was very comfortable to take a bath after a busy day. Lying on the bed, Du Heng said to Xuan Yu: "What time is it today? Is it the [-]th or [-]th of the twelfth lunar month? In a few days, I will fry meatballs to make steamed stuffed buns for the New Year's dishes."
Xuanyu faced Du Heng sideways: "You don't need to prepare too much. If you are in a good mood, prepare some. If it is too complicated, forget it. If you have this time, you can have a good rest."
After Du Heng came to the village, Xuan Yu never saw him idle.
Du Heng yawned, and he reached out to touch Xuanyu's paw, and Xuanyu's body felt warm.He said relaxedly, "Get busy..."
Xuanyu heard Du Heng say vaguely: "When I'm busy, I won't think too much."
After that, Du Heng fell silent, Xuan Yu looked at his sleeping face and understood what he was talking about. After all, Du Heng came from the world of human cultivation.And he is still the disciple who was abandoned by Yaowang Valley, he will forget those bad things only when he gets busy.
Xuan Yu stretched out his hand to touch Du Heng's cheek. When Du Heng talked about Huang Xi today, Xuan Yu was actually very happy.Because Du Heng himself didn't realize that Xuanyu was already included in his plan, he said: Let's hug one and raise it, our puppy is called Wonton.
Xuanyu helped Du Heng cover the quilt, Du Heng felt the temperature and rolled towards Xuanyu consciously.Xuan Yu whispered, "Go to sleep."
45
Early the next morning, Du Heng stretched his waist and got up from the bed.Xuanyu had already got up, Du Heng stood on the window and looked, he saw the courtyard door was wide open, wondering if Xuanyu had gone out.
Du Heng is going to get up to make breakfast. For today's breakfast, he is going to make tofu soup.Tofu soup with fried dough sticks is a standard breakfast in his hometown.When Du Heng came to the kitchen, he first lifted the lid of the cauldron.
There is a layer of oil floating in the pot, and the soup that was clear before the lid was covered yesterday has turned milky white today.
Du Heng poked a piece of tendon meat with his chopsticks, and with a little force, the chopsticks penetrated through the stewed meat.It's done!
He found a few large plates and sorted the marinated meat into categories.The marinated beef has shrunk, and a pound of beef can only produce about seven taels of meat.The off-white meat is spindle-shaped, with slightly transparent tendons at both ends.
Du Heng scooped up four large plates with the tendon meat alone, and they looked like hills when they were placed on the dining table.
There are also the hooves of mountain paste and soil mole. The hoofs of soil mole are relatively small, and the tendons and flesh on them will be rotten when touched.In fact, most of the hooves of animals do not have much meat. What they eat is the skin and tendons on them. down.
Du Heng used a smaller plate to put the hooves of the mole next to it, and then began to scoop up the hooves of the mountain paste.Shanyou's hooves are much bigger than the pig's hooves he bought in his hometown.
When Du Heng poked it down with his chopsticks, the tendons on the hoof trembled, and a milky white, slightly transparent large tendon could be seen on the broken section.Looking delicious and smelling the fragrance, Du Heng already felt his stomach growling.
After taking out all the stewed meat, there was only half a pot of milky white soup left in the pot, and there were still spice packets that were put down yesterday floating in it.
This kind of soup can be used to marinate dried beans and eggs. The reason why Du Heng didn't put the eggs and dried beans in last night is because the soy products already contain soup. The storage time in the medium is not as long as the storage time in the brine alone.
Du Heng set up a small stove under the corridor. He added clean water to the pot, and then put more than 30 fresh duck eggs into the pot.He put the casserole on the stove and left it alone.After a while the water boiled and the eggs were cooked, he could peel off the shells and make marinated eggs.
While the duck eggs were cooking, Du Heng fished out the old tofu raised yesterday from the water basin.In fact, it is better to use tender tofu for tofu soup, preferably the kind of tofu that has not been ordered.
But the conditions are limited, just use it.The old tofu is also delicious when cut into thin shreds, and it is also very good-looking when it is served with egg flower, yellow and white.
Du Heng poured clear water into the small pot, and as the water boiled slowly, he poured in tofu cut into thin strips, and then beat two duck eggs and stirred them into egg flowers.
The most important step is to thicken the cornstarch. The starch that Du Heng used to thicken the glutinous cornstarch was neither bought nor made by himself, but was found from the spirit fruit that Jing Nan gave.
There is a kind of spiritual fruit that grows in the soil, and Jing Nan calls it Tushi.When the fruit is fresh, the skin is taupe, and the taste is a bit sweet, but there is not much water.
Du Heng didn't like the taste of the soil, so he put it aside.Unexpectedly, this product dried up within a few days. After drying, the skin turned into a dry earthy color, and the pulp inside had been air-dried.
Du Heng pinched it open to take a look, and found that it was similar to the starch he used to thicken the corn.So he dried the remaining spirit fruit and pressed a jar of starch.This is what was used to thicken the braised pork last time, and he feels that this is no different from other starches.
He took half a bowl of starch and dissolved it in cold water, then carefully poured it into the tofu soup pot.Starch will coagulate after preheating. If it is thicker, the taste will be firmer. If it is diluted, there will be a soup thicker than water.
Du Heng stirred a few times in the tofu soup pot with a spoon, and the tofu soup became thick after a while.Du Heng added some mustard mustard, but unfortunately there is no coriander here. If there is green coriander, the taste of tofu soup will be even more delicious.
Tofu soup and bean dregs cake are a perfect match, but Xuanyu took all the bean dregs to feed the fish yesterday.Du Heng put the lid on the pot. The tofu soup was almost done. He went to the corridor and brought the duck eggs boiled in the casserole to the kitchen.
When he was peeling the eggshells, Xuanyu entered the door carrying a big wooden box.
Du Heng quickly put down the peeled eggshell: "What is this?" He wanted to help Xuanyu, but Xuanyu refused: "It's okay, I can do it alone."
Xuanyu entered the kitchen, and he put the wooden box behind him on the ground.This is a box bigger than Xuanyu, Xuanyu knocked on the wooden box twice, the wooden strips on the box fell to the ground one after another and turned into blue spiritual energy and flew away.
After the wooden strips fell off, a spiritual light flashed inside.
After the aura dissipated, there was an extra door in the kitchen.The color of this door matches the color of the kitchen, and the white door is carved with a picture of fish playing with lotus leaves.The door is seven feet high, three feet wide, but only five inches thick.
Du Heng walked to the side and looked very surprised: "Why did you suddenly buy a door and come back? Where are you going to install this door?"
Xuanyu said: "Didn't you mention the refrigerator in your hometown before? This is a refrigerator customized for you."
Du Heng: ...don't lie to him, he knows the refrigerator, this is a door!He is not blind!
Xuan Yu asked: "Where do you see this?"
Du Heng looked around, and he pointed to the northwest corner of the kitchen: "Just over there."
Xuan Yu responded, he pushed the door and walked towards the corner, and then stuck the door against the wall.There was a flash of inspiration on the wall, and the door seemed to be alive and embedded in the wall.Those who didn't know thought there was a door over there.
After the door was inlaid, the picture of fish playing with lotus leaves on the door seemed to come alive. How should I put it, Du Heng saw that the originally white embossed lotus leaves turned emerald green and were still swinging leisurely.A green lotus among the lotus leaves seemed to be about to bloom at any time, with water droplets hanging on it.Under the lotus leaf, two red fish swim leisurely under the lotus leaf, one is blue and the other is red.
Du Heng almost looked stupid!
There was no handle on the door, Xuanyu lightly tapped on the blue fish, and the door opened!
A large room appeared behind the door. The room was spacious and bright. It was more than 100 square meters. There were countless shelves around it, but the temperature was a bit low.
Xuan Yu greeted Du Heng and said, "Come in and have a look."
Du Heng poked his head at the door: "This...is amazing."
Xuanyu said: "I have never seen the refrigerator you mentioned, so I can only find someone to make it according to your description. The time in this room is stopped, and what you make will look like it is put in, and it will look like it is taken out. "
Du Heng: ...he has already knelt down.This is much taller than the refrigerator he knows, right?Yet this is not the end.
Xuanyu said: "The room next door can be used to freeze things, because you said that the refrigerator can be used to freeze food."
Du Heng was taken aback, what about the next door?But he really couldn't see where there was a door in the room.
Xuanyu greeted Du Heng: "Here."
Only then did Du Heng realize that a door appeared behind them at some point, and the picture of fish playing with lotus leaves was still painted on the door, but there was only the red one left of the small fish below.
Du Heng tapped lightly on a fish: "The blue fish corresponds to the room where time stagnates, and the red fish corresponds to the frozen side. Switch rooms and poke the carp."
The room changed immediately, and Du Heng only felt that when the light dimmed, he was already in another room.This room is similar to the room you entered just now, except that the floor here is covered with a layer of frost, and the surrounding shelves are also hung with frost.
Although there was frost all around, Du Heng didn't feel the cold.
Xuanyu said: "At present, this refrigerator can only hold dead objects, and you can't stay in it for too long. You have to come out after an hour. Otherwise, you will be affected by the formation and be sealed in the refrigerator."
Who has nothing to do and stay in the refrigerator for an hour?Du Heng felt that it was enough to go in and get something.
Xuanyu said: "Because of the rush, the demon cultivator didn't study it well. You just use it first, and I will replace it for you after researching a better refrigerator over there."
Du Heng was very moved: "No need, no need, this is already very good!"
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "It's fine if you think it's good."
Du Heng looked left and right in the refrigerator. He had a great time poking from red carp to green carp.
When Du Heng had had enough fun, he asked, "Then how do we get out?"
Xuanyu tapped lightly on the green lotus at the highest point, and the door opened: "Just click on the green lotus to get in and out of the refrigerator."
Du Heng was dumbfounded: "The monk's methods are really amazing!"
With this refrigerator, he doesn't have to carry so many storage bags on his body, let alone rummaging in the storage bags when fetching things.It's so convenient!
Du Heng said gratefully: "Thank you Xuanyu, may I ask, how many spirit stones are there in this refrigerator?"
Xuan Yu looked at the picture of Yu Xi Lian Ye and said calmly: "I don't need spirit stones, I know the demon cultivators who make weapons, so that's nothing."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu, but it was a pity that Xuan Yu's old face was too calm to tell whether what he said was true or not.
At this time, Xiaoxiao and they came in: "Jiujiu~~" Jing Nan said quickly, "What delicious food did you cook? I smelled the smell of meat last night, let us have a taste!"
Du Heng slapped his thigh: "My egg!" He was thinking of making marinated eggs for Jing Nan's breakfast, but after studying the refrigerator for so long, the egg shells were not finished!
The author has something to say: Huang Xi's story is true. After Huang Xi disappeared, I have never seen such a tall and mighty big yellow dog.Although it is not my dog, I still think Huang Xi is the most obedient and sensible dog I have ever met.Thinking about it carefully, Huang Xi is that kind of pastoral yellow dog. Nowadays, many pastoral dogs are skewered, and their size has become smaller.Thinking about it now, Huang Xi is bigger than a Shiba Inu, but completely different from a Shiba Inu.Its tail is curled up on the buttocks.
Lao Dao never dreamed that the first person who coveted his body was Du Heng, and he had to find a way to get the little yellow dog.Hahaha~
Comrade Xuanyu was so helpful that he directly ordered a refrigerator of the comprehension world version for Du Heng. Du Heng was very grateful and sent another good person card to Xuanyu.
By the way, there is something embarrassing to say.Two days ago, a relative in the comment area corrected my use of punctuation marks.It is how to use it when a long dialogue is segmented.She said that semi-quotes should be placed in front of paragraphs.
Before this kiss pointed out, this knowledge point has been in my blind spot of knowledge.Then I went to the Internet to check, but I still couldn't find a more standardized description.In addition to being ashamed, I am a little lucky. Fortunately, I didn't take this knowledge point during the college entrance examination, otherwise I would have failed.
Then I told my friend about this matter, and the friend said: It’s okay, this knowledge point is very biased, and it can’t be tested.Hahahaha~
Ask for advice again
An hour later, Du Heng removed the water from the tofu mold and lifted the lid.Under the expectant eyes of Jing Nan and the others, he buckled the mold back and got two pieces of... old tofu like white jade.
How to eat old tofu?There are many methods, tofu is versatile, and can be cooked with meat. After cooking, the square tofu cubes are full of broth and taste better than meat.It can be boiled into a pot of soup, put a few small green vegetables, and the green and white bowl looks refreshing and easy to eat.You can cook a bowl of hot and spicy mapo tofu with the red pepper, and you will feel hot and energetic after eating it.
Du Heng thought for a while, then took out a piece of tofu, and he took out a wooden basin, filled it with water and kept the tofu in it.
Xiaoxiao squatted on the stove and chirped twice, Du Heng explained: "I'm making tofu braised pork, and then I'm making tofu soup. Eat more vegetarian tonight, and tomorrow I'll make stewed pork for you, okay?" Smiling and nodding again and again: "Jiujiu~"
After pouring soybean oil into the hot pan, Du Heng sprinkled a little salt on the pan.He slid the tofu cut into large pieces along the edge of the pot to the bottom of the pot, and suddenly a puff of white oily smoke came out of the pot, making a piercing sound.After a while, the side close to the pot turned golden. Du Heng turned it over with long chopsticks, and the golden side faced upwards.
Xiaoxiao let out a trembling chirp in surprise, Du Heng laughed: "The six sides of this will be golden brown, and it will not easily fall apart when it is cooked with the meat."
Xiaoxiao stretched his neck and wanted to take a closer look at the tofu in the pot. Du Heng hurriedly hugged him down: "How many times have I told you, don't go on the stove, if you fall into the pot and peel it, you will burn it." .”
Feng Gui, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, said calmly, "No."
Du Heng was taken aback: "What?"
Feng Gui said: "Speaking of which, Xiaoxiao and I both belong to the demon cultivator of the fire department, not to mention falling into the pot, even ordinary demon fire will not harm us. Even if it falls into your frying pan, Xiaoxiao will be harmed." I can swim out."
Du Heng's face turned dark: "Is that so? But I'm not only worried about Xiaoxiao." If Xiaoxiao fell into the shower, how would she eat the food?
After the tofu is fried, it is golden on the plate, square and neatly arranged, which is pleasing to the eye.
Jing Nan walked over and poked a piece of tofu: "Can it still be like this?"
Du Heng smiled and said: "Yes, there are many ways to eat tofu, and I can also make stinky tofu. If everyone likes it, I will make some someday."
Fenggui said to Xiaoxiao: "For the sake of finding Du Heng and coming back, I won't pursue the matter of running away from home." Take it to heart.
The braised pork that Du Heng made today is a simple version, and there is no need to tie the meat with straw ropes for stewing.
Du Heng was busy on the stove, Feng Gui stood up and walked around the kitchen: "I don't know what's going on, but I can smell a sweet smell today."
Jing Nan's eyes lit up: "I smelled it too."
The two walked towards Du Heng's wine barrel secretly: "It's the smell inside."
Only then did Du Heng remember the rice wine he made a few days ago. It has been three or four days, and the temperature in the kitchen is right, and the wine should have precipitated out.
Du Heng hurriedly called out: "You put it there and don't move, I'll come, let me come!!"
Braised pork stewed with tofu gurgling in one pot, and Ling rice stewed in the other.Du Heng put the lid on the pot with confidence, and now he is free to look at his rice wine.
Du Heng took away the quilt on the wooden barrel, and a strong fermented sweet aroma came out.Even Xuan Yu couldn't help standing beside him, and Du Heng opened the wine barrel a little nervously.The moment the wooden cover was lifted, the sweet fragrance bloomed in the kitchen like fireworks.
Du Heng looked at the wooden barrel, and saw that milky white wine pulp had appeared in the hole he dug out in the wooden barrel.The Lingmi that once sank to the bottom had swelled a bit, floating on the wine syrup like a big donut.
Du Heng pressed it with a clean wooden spoon, and a lot of wine pulp precipitated out of the Lingmi.
Du Heng was happy: "I thought it would take ten days and half a month to drink it, but I didn't expect it to be ready soon. Fortunately, you have good noses, otherwise I would have forgotten to take a look."
Xuanyu had already taken a big bowl and stood beside Du Heng. Du Heng smiled and filled the bowl with a spoon full of wine: "This is the original wine, it is sweet, and you can drink it even with a smile. Everyone, try it look."
Feng Gui and Jing Nan took a sip from the bowl, and Jing Nan smacked his lips: "It's so sweet, this tastes good." Feng Gui said: "It says it's wine syrup, but the taste of wine is not strong. I believe it is fruit syrup. .”
Du Heng looked at Xuanyu who was tasting with a smile on his face: "How is it? Is it delicious?" Xuanyu put down the bowl: "It's delicious."
This is so anxious Xiaoxiao, I heard that he can also drink, Xiaoxiao has been bouncing around the legs of everyone.After the three adults drank a bowl of wine, there was only a little bit left, and Xuanyu handed it to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao held the bowl with her two little wings and took a sip cherishingly: "Chirp~~" He likes this taste.Du Heng said with a smile: "This is just the initial liquor. If it wants to become the usual wine, it needs to undergo secondary fermentation."
But Du Heng likes this level of rice wine, and the current Lingmi is Jiuniang, which can be used to cook many things.Du Heng also liked this kind of sweet wine with a slight alcohol taste, so he decided to keep some and let the rest be fermented for a second time.
Xiaoxiao finished drinking the rice wine in a short while, and he held the bowl and made a coquettish chirping sound to Du Heng.
Du Heng smiled and took a spoonful of wine mixed with Lingmi in Xiaoxiao's bowl: "Although the alcohol content is relatively low now, you can't drink too much, be careful not to get drunk."
The fermented Lingmi has lost the distinct taste of the rice grains, and the rice grains have become loose, and it tastes like a sweet wine.
Du Heng scooped out some and handed it to Xuanyu and the others: "This is fermented glutinous rice, which can be used to cook glutinous rice balls." Xuanyu took a sip and nodded: "Not bad."
Du Heng couldn't be more happy: "Then I'll put some of it out for cooking in the future, and the rest will continue to ferment, okay?"
Jing Nan asked, "What will it taste like after continuing to ferment?"
Du Heng said: "It will not be so sweet, the alcohol content will become higher, and the color will become clearer. In the end, it will become the kind of wine that everyone drinks, and it is okay to keep it for a long time."
Feng came back interested: "Really?" Du Heng said: "What did you lie to you for? You'll know when I'm done."
Taking advantage of the large number of people, Du Heng divided the wine in the barrel into two parts, and put one part in a small wooden barrel and put it in a storage bag.In this way, the fermented rice will stop fermenting, and it will taste the same sweetness when eaten.
After digging out half of the Lingmi, the liquor and Lingmi in the barrel were reduced by half, and the barrel looked much bigger.But it doesn't matter, Du Heng will add Liangbaikai soon to let it continue to ferment.
Du Heng dug out half of the fermented rice, and will add a little more cool white boiled later.After a while, the rice wine in the barrel will complete the second fermentation.When the time comes, take out the distiller's grains, and the remaining rice wine can be drunk.
Because the brewing of Lingmi wine was successful, everyone at the dinner table had a large bowl of rice wine in front of them.To be honest, simply eating Jiuniang will have a sweet feeling.But Du Heng also made other dishes, which are especially delicious when paired with them.
Du Heng's stewed tofu with braised pork in thick oil and red sauce made the tofu trembling after soaking up the soup.After the slightly tough tofu skin that is fried on the outside is pinched, the soft inside will be exposed.There are some holes in the inside, which are filled with soup.
Take a bite, the taste of tofu is more delicious than meat.It's just that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Xiaoxiao is because she is too anxious, and she puffs and puffs while eating, but still choked tears roll in her eyes.
However, even with tears rolling around, Xiaoxiao still held the bowl and refused to let go of her wings.
In addition to tofu braised pork, Du Heng also made mapo tofu.This dish is deeply loved by Feng Gui.
Fenggui cut a hole in the white Lingmi rice, and poured red tofu into the hole with a spoon.He took the chopsticks and mixed the tofu and rice together.The thickened tofu and rice immediately became sticky, and Feng Gui sent them to his mouth with satisfaction.
At this time, you can see how double-standard Feng Gui is. It’s no problem for him to mix the rice by himself. If Xiaoxiao mixes it like this, he will immediately start to dislike it: “Hey, it’s so disgusting.”
It's just that Xiaoxiao has already ignored him, no matter what Feng Gui said, Xiaoxiao stuck his head in the rice bowl and didn't lift it up.
Every time Xuanyu eats, he looks like an old monk in meditation. Every time, Du Heng can't tell whether he likes it or not.Every time I only saw him eating three bowls in a regular manner, and after finishing the three bowls, he put down the bowls and chopsticks.
As a cook, Du Heng is somewhat sure of the tastes of the diners. For example, Jing Nan likes salty and fresh food, and Feng Gui likes spicy food.And Xuanyu... Du Heng is not sure.
Du Heng thought, before Xuanyu entered the village, he must have been a pampered and well-educated disciple of a rich family with a good family education.Because Xuanyu is very restrained when eating, and usually speaks and does things without showing emotions.On TV, this is the temperament that only emperors have.
Du Heng was so sure.
The tofu feast at night won unanimous praise. Du Heng planned to soak more beans and make more tofu in two days.As the New Year is approaching, there are many places that need tofu.
In previous years, every New Year's day, Du's father would soak a large pot of soybeans, and opened a stone mill early in the morning to grind soybean milk and some tofu.The mapo tofu and homemade tofu in their private restaurant are often ordered by diners.
Sometimes the diners have to pack a portion to take home after eating, and the neighbors will come home with two yuan when they see Papa Du making tofu.
After dinner, Xuanyu was clearing the table. Du Heng took out the tendon meat of Kui Niu from the storage bag, and soaked the tendon meat in water.
Xuanyu asked puzzledly: "Is it soaking now?" Du Heng said: "Yes, I will cook them all and put them in the pot before going to bed, so that the marinated meat will be more flavorful."
The taste of stewed pork is different from each store, and each store has its own recipe and taste.After marinating the meat, you can eat it anyway, but Du Heng thinks that it is quite complicated to make the stewed meat delicious.
Some stores use brine that has been around for hundreds of years. Hundreds of meats come and go in a pot of brine, and the brine that absorbs the aroma of different meats will become a family heirloom of the store.
But this kind of stewed vegetables has something that Du Heng doesn't like. In order to save the marinade or make the dishes look better, the store will add a lot of salt to the marinade.Sometimes the stewed vegetables bought by luck are moderately salty, but if you are unlucky, the stewed vegetables you buy back will be abnormally salty.
The marinade in Du Heng's family is always freshly made, and the stewed meat in his family is different from the color of the thick oily red sauce, and soy sauce is never added to the marinade to enhance the color.After the stewed vegetables in his family are made, they are usually used as cold dishes, and then served with dipping sauces.
Du Heng's white-cut beef, salted duck and white-cut chicken are quite famous in their area.

Du Heng looked at the water in which the beef tendon was soaked, and he was puzzled again: "It is reasonable to say that the beef has the most blood in it. How come there is still no blood seeping out of the tendon meat after soaking for so long?"
Xuanyu said calmly, "It's probably because Lao Dao is particularly good at bleeding." Well, Xuanyu has already mentioned this reason last time.
Du Heng thought for a while and then accepted: "Lao Dao must be a very good hunter. He brought us so many ingredients last time. I will make more braised meat later. Next time Lao Dao comes, I can let him Take it away." Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes, good."
Du Heng asked again: "Is Lao Dao's family on the West Mountain? When he came last time, I saw that he came down from the West Mountain."
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and Du Heng had only been to Nanshan after he came to the village, and he was too scared to go up by the wild beasts in Nanshan.It's a pity that he and Jing Nan set up four traps, and I don't know if any prey fell into them later.
Xuan Yu said: "Yes, when the snow melts, I can take you to see Lao Dao's cave." Speaking of why Du Heng is so interested in Lao Dao, Xuan Yu asked: "You seem to pay special attention to Lao Dao .”
Du Heng scratched his hair embarrassingly: "Did you see it? Actually, I like the dog raised by Lao Dao."
Xuanyu took a subtle look at Du Heng, and his voice was higher than usual: "You... like that dog? Do you like Chaos?"
Du Heng nodded: "Yes, what a beautiful big yellow dog."
Rhubarb is bigger than normal large dogs, covered with yellow and white fur, honest and obedient, it looks like a good dog.
Du Heng remembered an incident when he was a teenager: "When I was young, a girl from a family in our village married a village more than ten miles away. The family she married had a big yellow dog, just like the rhubarb of the old knife. Then a dog..."
The corner of Du Heng's mouth could not help but provoke a smile, he was immersed in his own thoughts.
Xuan Yu asked: "What happened to that dog?"
Du Heng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "That dog is the smartest dog I have ever seen. I still remember its name. Its name is Huang Xi. It will follow the married girl to our village. At the door, the owner calls it to come in, and it only enters the door. It does not eat what we feed it, unless the owner nods, it will eat.
Its owner's house was on fire, and the family upstairs didn't know it. It was Huang Xi who called desperately to call the owner's house down.Without Huang Xi, the whole family might be gone.It is very obedient and smart. Although my family has many dogs, none of them can compare with Da Huangxi. "
When Du Heng talked about Huang Xi, an astonishing look burst into his eyes. He still remembered Huang Xi's appearance, which was exactly the same as Lao Dao's Chaos, that's why he liked Chaos so much when he saw it.
Du Heng said expectantly: "It would be great if Lao Dao's wontons went out to breed. His wontons are of a good variety, and the puppies they give birth to must be good-looking. If someone has a puppy, we will take one back and raise it."
Xuan Yu said: "His name is Chaos."
Du Heng smiled and said, "Hahaha, let me tell you secretly, I think it's more festive to call it Wonton. If there is a puppy in the future, how about we name it Wonton?"
Xuan Yu's eyes became very gentle, and he smiled gently: "Okay."
Tonight I will force Lao Dao to go out for breeding. No matter what, he will see the little yellow dog after a while.
In Du Heng's impression, everything can be marinated.In addition to the big lumps of beef tendon, he found the hooves of the earthy mountain paste that was left before.
At that time, the remaining four hooves from eating soil mole, together with the remaining hooves from the pickled mountain paste, looked like there was no meat, but if it could be stewed carefully, it would have a unique flavor.
Cleaning up the leftovers is a delicate job, if not cleaned up, the things made will have a strange smell.
Under the light of the night pearl, Du Heng pulled out a burning bloodthirsty vine from under the stove.He made an iron clip, and moved a small stool to stand beside the small stove.The clip clamped the hoof and placed it on the stove. The thin hairs on the hoof were burned by the flames, making a slight crackling sound, and a burnt smell came out.
Xuanyu also moved a small stool and sat next to Du Heng. He looked at the pile of hooves on the ground and said, "This...has no meat."
Du Heng smiled and said: "Yes, there is no meat, but it tastes good if it is cooked well. You see, we have a lot of hooves of mountain paste here. I marinated four today, and the rest will be processed another day. Make seaweed soup."
Xuanyu said: "If a general demon cultivator devours other monsters, he either chooses the fat parts and eats them, or swallows them in one gulp. It is rare to see someone handle them so delicately. I have seen many cultivators before, but I've never seen anyone handle it so complicated."
Du Heng rolled over on the flames with his hooves between his legs: "That's because all the energy of human cultivation is spent on cultivation. Didn't Jing Nan say it before? Many monks who started their career as cooks chose to give up in the end, so there is no How many people still deal with this stuff?"
Xuan Yu was thoughtful, and after a while he asked: "Do you want to be a chef?"
Although he told Mr. Xia that Du Heng started his career as a cook, he never asked Du Heng what he wanted.
Du Heng raised his eyes to look at Xuan Yu, his brows were curved: "I don't want to."
Du Heng put the burnt mountain paste hoof in the wooden basin next to it to soak. After the mountain paste hoof was burnt, the surface turned black, which looked completely different from the white and clean hoof before.
Du Heng said: "I am a person with no great ambitions, and I even feel that practice is a strange thing to me. The reason why I cook is simply because I like it. When I saw Xiaoxiao happily eating When I was eating, I saw you and Jing Nan talking and laughing around the dining table when tasting the dishes I made, and when I heard you praise the dishes I made, I was very happy. "
Du Heng said softly: "It is a kind of happiness to be able to cook delicious food for relatives and friends. It is also a kind of happiness to have someone who appreciates and trusts by your side. Speaking of it..."
Du Heng looked at Xuanyu and said: "I haven't expressed my gratitude to you solemnly. Xuanyu, I feel very happy that you and Xiaoxiao can bring me to the village. Thank you for giving me a place to shelter from the wind and rain. ...and thank you for trusting me and supporting me."
Xuan Yu remained silent for a long time, and after Du Heng finished speaking, he went on busy again.In no time he had finished firing all the hooves.A pile of feet soaked in the tub, Du Heng took a wooden brush and brushed them carefully.
The skin of the cleaned hoof turned golden. Du Heng shaved off the hard nails on the hoof, cut open the hoof, and removed the hair follicle in the middle of the foot.
Du Heng threw all the ingredients into the pot, and added more than half of the pot of water in the pot.The tendons and hooves were stuffed into a pot so full that the lid almost couldn't be covered.
While waiting for the water to boil, Du Heng was preparing the marinade package.
This is the top-secret formula of Du Heng's family, and it will not be passed on to the outside world.Du Heng used a small piece of gauze to sew a cloth pocket, and then put dozens of spices in the cloth pocket.
Xuanyu didn't know much about spices, he only saw Du Heng dig out the oiled paper packets bought from Zhou's shop, and pick and choose inside.After Du Heng finished picking and prepared the seasoning packets, the water in the pot also boiled.
Du Heng skimmed off the few froth on the water surface. After blanching, the tendons shrank, and the pot lid, which was almost too big to cover, can now be easily covered.Du Heng turned over with chopsticks, so that all the stewed products could be soaked in the water.
At this time, he pressed the bulging seasoning packet into the soup, and he also clamped a hoof to press the seasoning packet.
Strange to say, after the seasoning bag was thrown into the pot, a scent permeated the air.Xuanyu had never smelled this smell before, it was like the smell of spiritual plants placed next to Jing Nan's alchemy room, but it didn't have the bitter medicinal smell.Mixed with the taste of the broth, it is a bit tantalizing.
Du Heng closed the lid with satisfaction, and clapped his hands happily: "It's finished, let's go and have a rest!" He has already set the time for the bottom of the pot to be heated, and he will get a pot of water by tomorrow morning. Delicious lo mei!
This soup will be used tomorrow, and it can also be used to marinate eggs and dried tofu. He can even dig some bamboo shoots and put them in to marinate together.Anyway, the temperature is not high, it can be stored in the storage bag for a long time, and you can take it out to eat when you want to eat.
It was very comfortable to take a bath after a busy day. Lying on the bed, Du Heng said to Xuan Yu: "What time is it today? Is it the [-]th or [-]th of the twelfth lunar month? In a few days, I will fry meatballs to make steamed stuffed buns for the New Year's dishes."
Xuanyu faced Du Heng sideways: "You don't need to prepare too much. If you are in a good mood, prepare some. If it is too complicated, forget it. If you have this time, you can have a good rest."
After Du Heng came to the village, Xuan Yu never saw him idle.
Du Heng yawned, and he reached out to touch Xuanyu's paw, and Xuanyu's body felt warm.He said relaxedly, "Get busy..."
Xuanyu heard Du Heng say vaguely: "When I'm busy, I won't think too much."
After that, Du Heng fell silent, Xuan Yu looked at his sleeping face and understood what he was talking about. After all, Du Heng came from the world of human cultivation.And he is still the disciple who was abandoned by Yaowang Valley, he will forget those bad things only when he gets busy.
Xuan Yu stretched out his hand to touch Du Heng's cheek. When Du Heng talked about Huang Xi today, Xuan Yu was actually very happy.Because Du Heng himself didn't realize that Xuanyu was already included in his plan, he said: Let's hug one and raise it, our puppy is called Wonton.
Xuanyu helped Du Heng cover the quilt, Du Heng felt the temperature and rolled towards Xuanyu consciously.Xuan Yu whispered, "Go to sleep."
45
Early the next morning, Du Heng stretched his waist and got up from the bed.Xuanyu had already got up, Du Heng stood on the window and looked, he saw the courtyard door was wide open, wondering if Xuanyu had gone out.
Du Heng is going to get up to make breakfast. For today's breakfast, he is going to make tofu soup.Tofu soup with fried dough sticks is a standard breakfast in his hometown.When Du Heng came to the kitchen, he first lifted the lid of the cauldron.
There is a layer of oil floating in the pot, and the soup that was clear before the lid was covered yesterday has turned milky white today.
Du Heng poked a piece of tendon meat with his chopsticks, and with a little force, the chopsticks penetrated through the stewed meat.It's done!
He found a few large plates and sorted the marinated meat into categories.The marinated beef has shrunk, and a pound of beef can only produce about seven taels of meat.The off-white meat is spindle-shaped, with slightly transparent tendons at both ends.
Du Heng scooped up four large plates with the tendon meat alone, and they looked like hills when they were placed on the dining table.
There are also the hooves of mountain paste and soil mole. The hoofs of soil mole are relatively small, and the tendons and flesh on them will be rotten when touched.In fact, most of the hooves of animals do not have much meat. What they eat is the skin and tendons on them. down.
Du Heng used a smaller plate to put the hooves of the mole next to it, and then began to scoop up the hooves of the mountain paste.Shanyou's hooves are much bigger than the pig's hooves he bought in his hometown.
When Du Heng poked it down with his chopsticks, the tendons on the hoof trembled, and a milky white, slightly transparent large tendon could be seen on the broken section.Looking delicious and smelling the fragrance, Du Heng already felt his stomach growling.
After taking out all the stewed meat, there was only half a pot of milky white soup left in the pot, and there were still spice packets that were put down yesterday floating in it.
This kind of soup can be used to marinate dried beans and eggs. The reason why Du Heng didn't put the eggs and dried beans in last night is because the soy products already contain soup. The storage time in the medium is not as long as the storage time in the brine alone.
Du Heng set up a small stove under the corridor. He added clean water to the pot, and then put more than 30 fresh duck eggs into the pot.He put the casserole on the stove and left it alone.After a while the water boiled and the eggs were cooked, he could peel off the shells and make marinated eggs.
While the duck eggs were cooking, Du Heng fished out the old tofu raised yesterday from the water basin.In fact, it is better to use tender tofu for tofu soup, preferably the kind of tofu that has not been ordered.
But the conditions are limited, just use it.The old tofu is also delicious when cut into thin shreds, and it is also very good-looking when it is served with egg flower, yellow and white.
Du Heng poured clear water into the small pot, and as the water boiled slowly, he poured in tofu cut into thin strips, and then beat two duck eggs and stirred them into egg flowers.
The most important step is to thicken the cornstarch. The starch that Du Heng used to thicken the glutinous cornstarch was neither bought nor made by himself, but was found from the spirit fruit that Jing Nan gave.
There is a kind of spiritual fruit that grows in the soil, and Jing Nan calls it Tushi.When the fruit is fresh, the skin is taupe, and the taste is a bit sweet, but there is not much water.
Du Heng didn't like the taste of the soil, so he put it aside.Unexpectedly, this product dried up within a few days. After drying, the skin turned into a dry earthy color, and the pulp inside had been air-dried.
Du Heng pinched it open to take a look, and found that it was similar to the starch he used to thicken the corn.So he dried the remaining spirit fruit and pressed a jar of starch.This is what was used to thicken the braised pork last time, and he feels that this is no different from other starches.
He took half a bowl of starch and dissolved it in cold water, then carefully poured it into the tofu soup pot.Starch will coagulate after preheating. If it is thicker, the taste will be firmer. If it is diluted, there will be a soup thicker than water.
Du Heng stirred a few times in the tofu soup pot with a spoon, and the tofu soup became thick after a while.Du Heng added some mustard mustard, but unfortunately there is no coriander here. If there is green coriander, the taste of tofu soup will be even more delicious.
Tofu soup and bean dregs cake are a perfect match, but Xuanyu took all the bean dregs to feed the fish yesterday.Du Heng put the lid on the pot. The tofu soup was almost done. He went to the corridor and brought the duck eggs boiled in the casserole to the kitchen.
When he was peeling the eggshells, Xuanyu entered the door carrying a big wooden box.
Du Heng quickly put down the peeled eggshell: "What is this?" He wanted to help Xuanyu, but Xuanyu refused: "It's okay, I can do it alone."
Xuanyu entered the kitchen, and he put the wooden box behind him on the ground.This is a box bigger than Xuanyu, Xuanyu knocked on the wooden box twice, the wooden strips on the box fell to the ground one after another and turned into blue spiritual energy and flew away.
After the wooden strips fell off, a spiritual light flashed inside.
After the aura dissipated, there was an extra door in the kitchen.The color of this door matches the color of the kitchen, and the white door is carved with a picture of fish playing with lotus leaves.The door is seven feet high, three feet wide, but only five inches thick.
Du Heng walked to the side and looked very surprised: "Why did you suddenly buy a door and come back? Where are you going to install this door?"
Xuanyu said: "Didn't you mention the refrigerator in your hometown before? This is a refrigerator customized for you."
Du Heng: ...don't lie to him, he knows the refrigerator, this is a door!He is not blind!
Xuan Yu asked: "Where do you see this?"
Du Heng looked around, and he pointed to the northwest corner of the kitchen: "Just over there."
Xuan Yu responded, he pushed the door and walked towards the corner, and then stuck the door against the wall.There was a flash of inspiration on the wall, and the door seemed to be alive and embedded in the wall.Those who didn't know thought there was a door over there.
After the door was inlaid, the picture of fish playing with lotus leaves on the door seemed to come alive. How should I put it, Du Heng saw that the originally white embossed lotus leaves turned emerald green and were still swinging leisurely.A green lotus among the lotus leaves seemed to be about to bloom at any time, with water droplets hanging on it.Under the lotus leaf, two red fish swim leisurely under the lotus leaf, one is blue and the other is red.
Du Heng almost looked stupid!
There was no handle on the door, Xuanyu lightly tapped on the blue fish, and the door opened!
A large room appeared behind the door. The room was spacious and bright. It was more than 100 square meters. There were countless shelves around it, but the temperature was a bit low.
Xuan Yu greeted Du Heng and said, "Come in and have a look."
Du Heng poked his head at the door: "This...is amazing."
Xuanyu said: "I have never seen the refrigerator you mentioned, so I can only find someone to make it according to your description. The time in this room is stopped, and what you make will look like it is put in, and it will look like it is taken out. "
Du Heng: ...he has already knelt down.This is much taller than the refrigerator he knows, right?Yet this is not the end.
Xuanyu said: "The room next door can be used to freeze things, because you said that the refrigerator can be used to freeze food."
Du Heng was taken aback, what about the next door?But he really couldn't see where there was a door in the room.
Xuanyu greeted Du Heng: "Here."
Only then did Du Heng realize that a door appeared behind them at some point, and the picture of fish playing with lotus leaves was still painted on the door, but there was only the red one left of the small fish below.
Du Heng tapped lightly on a fish: "The blue fish corresponds to the room where time stagnates, and the red fish corresponds to the frozen side. Switch rooms and poke the carp."
The room changed immediately, and Du Heng only felt that when the light dimmed, he was already in another room.This room is similar to the room you entered just now, except that the floor here is covered with a layer of frost, and the surrounding shelves are also hung with frost.
Although there was frost all around, Du Heng didn't feel the cold.
Xuanyu said: "At present, this refrigerator can only hold dead objects, and you can't stay in it for too long. You have to come out after an hour. Otherwise, you will be affected by the formation and be sealed in the refrigerator."
Who has nothing to do and stay in the refrigerator for an hour?Du Heng felt that it was enough to go in and get something.
Xuanyu said: "Because of the rush, the demon cultivator didn't study it well. You just use it first, and I will replace it for you after researching a better refrigerator over there."
Du Heng was very moved: "No need, no need, this is already very good!"
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "It's fine if you think it's good."
Du Heng looked left and right in the refrigerator. He had a great time poking from red carp to green carp.
When Du Heng had had enough fun, he asked, "Then how do we get out?"
Xuanyu tapped lightly on the green lotus at the highest point, and the door opened: "Just click on the green lotus to get in and out of the refrigerator."
Du Heng was dumbfounded: "The monk's methods are really amazing!"
With this refrigerator, he doesn't have to carry so many storage bags on his body, let alone rummaging in the storage bags when fetching things.It's so convenient!
Du Heng said gratefully: "Thank you Xuanyu, may I ask, how many spirit stones are there in this refrigerator?"
Xuan Yu looked at the picture of Yu Xi Lian Ye and said calmly: "I don't need spirit stones, I know the demon cultivators who make weapons, so that's nothing."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu, but it was a pity that Xuan Yu's old face was too calm to tell whether what he said was true or not.
At this time, Xiaoxiao and they came in: "Jiujiu~~" Jing Nan said quickly, "What delicious food did you cook? I smelled the smell of meat last night, let us have a taste!"
Du Heng slapped his thigh: "My egg!" He was thinking of making marinated eggs for Jing Nan's breakfast, but after studying the refrigerator for so long, the egg shells were not finished!
The author has something to say: Huang Xi's story is true. After Huang Xi disappeared, I have never seen such a tall and mighty big yellow dog.Although it is not my dog, I still think Huang Xi is the most obedient and sensible dog I have ever met.Thinking about it carefully, Huang Xi is that kind of pastoral yellow dog. Nowadays, many pastoral dogs are skewered, and their size has become smaller.Thinking about it now, Huang Xi is bigger than a Shiba Inu, but completely different from a Shiba Inu.Its tail is curled up on the buttocks.
Lao Dao never dreamed that the first person who coveted his body was Du Heng, and he had to find a way to get the little yellow dog.Hahaha~
Comrade Xuanyu was so helpful that he directly ordered a refrigerator of the comprehension world version for Du Heng. Du Heng was very grateful and sent another good person card to Xuanyu.
By the way, there is something embarrassing to say.Two days ago, a relative in the comment area corrected my use of punctuation marks.It is how to use it when a long dialogue is segmented.She said that semi-quotes should be placed in front of paragraphs.
Before this kiss pointed out, this knowledge point has been in my blind spot of knowledge.Then I went to the Internet to check, but I still couldn't find a more standardized description.In addition to being ashamed, I am a little lucky. Fortunately, I didn't take this knowledge point during the college entrance examination, otherwise I would have failed.
Then I told my friend about this matter, and the friend said: It’s okay, this knowledge point is very biased, and it can’t be tested.Hahahaha~
