Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 212 Done!

Jin Dachuan nodded, and he also understood Chen Nian's intentions in his heart.

Aging probably means to cut yourself from hard to soft.

Maybe cutting tender tofu by yourself will still be the same as before, but Jin Dachuan doesn't know if it will be effective, but this is also a way of thinking, so Jin Dachuan picked up a kitchen knife and prepared to try it.

Still the same as before, Jin Dachuan planned to slice the tofu into thin slices first, and then into shreds.

In fact, he has never had much contact with northern tofu. Due to different living customs, he has been exposed to the delicate southern tofu since he was a child.

But even so, I have heard of northern tofu, and I have used this tofu to cook several times, but Daoduo also cooks according to the northern method, frying it in a pan, or frying it.

Cutting tofu is different from cutting radish. Although there is some water on the radish, it is not too much.

So even when cutting, there is no need to worry about the radish sticking to the kitchen knife.

But tofu is different. Even northern tofu has a lot of water in it. When cutting, it will stick to the knife, and after sticking to the kitchen knife, it will be broken if it is squeezed off by the latecomers.

But in this case, even soft tofu needs to get some water on the tofu and on the kitchen knife.

That is to increase the weight of tofu again.

First of all, Jin Dachuan carefully cut off the old skin of the tofu, but even after getting a lot of water, the old skin of the tofu still stuck to the knife, mainly due to the large contact area, so this is actually normal of.

Then Jin Dachuan cut the tofu down the middle and broke it into two halves. In this way, the size of the tofu was not so big, and the area of ​​a piece was completely reduced by half.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Dachuan began to slice the tofu with the old skin removed, but at this time he encountered difficulties again.

Because when Jin Dachuan was cutting, he found that although he could find the right position and ensure the stability of his hand and knife, he couldn't cut it completely, even though the tofu had already become half the original size.

Always have not finished cutting a piece, the tofu in the middle will break, or there will be cracks on the surface of the tofu.

At first, Jin Dachuan didn’t believe in evil, but after trying a few times, he put down the kitchen knife: “No, I can’t do this, no wonder, my skills are not good enough, is this the gap between us?”

He subconsciously thought that Chen Nian could do it, but he couldn't.

Chen Nian smiled and walked forward to replace Jin Dachuan, picked up the kitchen knife and started to attack the piece of tofu as well.

Also cut very carefully.

But the tofu cut in this way is just like Jin Dachuan just now, it can't be cut into the thickness of Wensi tofu at all.

"What's going on here?" Jin Dachuan was a little puzzled. He didn't think that Chen Nian deliberately cut up the tofu, but if it wasn't intentional, wouldn't it mean that Chen Nian couldn't do it?

"Because the tightness of these two kinds of tofu is not the same, even if it is used for carving at some banquets or on certain occasions, most of them are tender tofu, and it cannot be said that there is no northern tofu, but it is better to use northern tofu. To carry out this kind of artistic processing, it is more to make some depictions on it, and then pour sauces such as soy sauce on it to form patterns with colors.”

Chen Nian then explained: "It's not that Bei Tofu must not be able to do it, maybe it's just that I can't do it with my current ability."

After hearing this, Jin Dachuan's eyes became even more puzzled: "So does this have anything to do with Chevinsi Tofu?"

"It doesn't matter." Chen Nian said frankly.

serious eyes.

But Jin Dachuan felt that Chen Nian might be joking.

Otherwise, saying this is like saying a word.

Except that this is a sentence, it doesn't mean anything to Jin Dachuan.

While talking about aging, he took out a piece of tender tofu and put it on the board, followed the normal steps of making Wensi tofu, poured some water on it, and put the kitchen knife through the water.

Skillfully remove the old tofu skin on the top, bottom, left and right, and then divide the tofu into two layers.

Then began to skillfully slice it.

The movement was gentle and precise, before Tofu could react, Chen Nian had already completed one entry and exit.

After slicing, wipe the tofu with a kitchen knife and pour it in one direction.

Then began to move skillfully, each time the distance is very small, if you only look at it a few times, you may even wonder if the old kitchen knives are all cut in the same place, just repeating the mechanical in and out movements.

Not even a splash, just the sound of the old guy coming over and over again.

But in fact, if you keep staring at it, you can see that the old kitchen knives are constantly advancing.

The cut tofu looks like a paste, which is mainly due to the aging of the tofu.

But it is precisely because of this that the cut tofu does not stick to the kitchen knife due to its own weight, the adhesion between the tofu and the tofu, and the fact that the old knife is held vertically, but honestly. After being cut, it just stays where it is.

While cutting tofu for aging, he said: "Those are actually just some basic principles, just like sand that is aggregated by water will not be as aggregated as the same amount of soil and water. , You can turn the soil into mud and knead it into various shapes, and you can even rub it very finely, but the sand is not good, because the particles of the sand itself are very large, so the gap between the north and the south of tofu lies here. "

While listening, Jin Dachuan thought in his mind that what Chen Nian said didn't seem to have much to do with Wensi Tofu.

It just shows why there is no way for northern tofu to be cut into very thin slices.

Just as he was thinking, Chen Nian's knife suddenly stopped: "Master Jin, I cut two halves just now, I finished cutting the other half, you can try the other half."

Said that this old age made Jin Dachuan come over to take his place again.

Jin Dachuan picked up the kitchen knife and subconsciously began to prepare according to his experience just now, finding the right angle to cut the tofu.

Chen Nian didn't bother, just watched Jin Dachuan cutting tofu on the chopping board.

At this time, Jin Dachuan was thinking about the experience just now, thinking about the fineness of cutting the radish just now, thinking that even if he was so serious when cutting the northern tofu, the tofu would still be broken in the end.

When he cut the tofu into thin slices one by one, he suddenly found that the tofu was cut extremely thin by himself.

"Cut it into shreds again, just like shredded carrots just now." When Chen Nian saw this, he knew that there should be nothing wrong with Jin Dachuan.

Sure enough, the shredded tofu cut out by Jin Dachuan looks basically the same as the shredded tofu cut out by Chen Nian just now.

Even laymen see it as a mass of paste, while insiders see the thickness as basically the same.

The rest is to cook.

First of all, the old cut tofu is put into the pot. Under gentle stirring, the tofu shreds spread out like a lingering mist. The roots are extremely slender, misty, and pleasing to the eye.

Secondly, Jin Dachuan cut the shredded tofu into the pot, which is also very thin, although many of them have some flaws, but that is just because they are not very skilled, but Jin Dachuan showed surprise when he saw it !
"It's done!"

"Yes, it's done!"

"I didn't expect that something I haven't made for so long will be finished after you ordered a few words, what a god!"

Chen Nian shook his head: "Actually, it's nothing. I just used various methods to mess up the inherent routines in your mind, and then drove the ducks to the shelves for you to cut directly. In this case, I basically just I can recall the experience I had just now, so that’s it, but I just tried it, and I didn’t expect it to be really useful.”

"I see, so you don't know if you can exchange this with me?"

Chen Nian scratched his head: "You can't say that, we have to see the result. Look, it's done now. After you go back and practice a few times, there will be no problems in the future."

Jin Dachuan also has to admit that the wild way of aging is indeed useful.

At least the problem that I have been troubled for a long time now has been solved.

But when the two of them were talking in the kitchen, a voice suddenly came from outside: "It's born? What? It's born? Who gave birth?"

Chen Nian turned his head and saw that the person who came was Bai Yueshuang!
