After Zheng left in a hurry, Du Qicai calmed down a little.When it was time to eat at noon, Du Qi looked at the food in front of him, and really had no appetite.

For lunch, the staple food is still noodles and some mutton.This kind of mutton, even with pepper, still has a strong smell, which is not to Du Qi's taste, and it is just barely full.

Just eat it for a day.

Eating it every day, Du Qi really couldn't arouse his appetite.

At this time, Du Qi was pondering in his heart, wanting to improve the food in the house.After all, let him eat all kinds of dishes from all over the world and travel all over the world, especially for people who live in the land of abundance, such a simple meal is really unbearable.

Du Qi already wanted to change the way of eating.

Chapter 19 Mapo Tofu

Mabo tofu

In the afternoon, Du Qi had nothing to do, so he prepared to cook and eat.The wok is ready-made, just use the wok used to fry tea.With his hands behind his back, Du Qi looked like a grown-up, and led Liu Jian, who followed suit, to the back kitchen.

Liu Jian looked puzzled and asked, "Young Master, what are we going to do in the back kitchen?"

Du Qi said, "Look for something to eat."

"Looking for something to eat?"

Liu Jian didn't understand anymore.

The food in the mansion has always been excellent, and there is even meat at noon, there is no shortage of food, so why does the young master have to go find something to eat.

Liu Jian said: "Is it possible that the young master is not full?"

"I'm not full!"

Du Qi answered directly.

Liu Jian frowned suddenly, with a look of incomprehension, and asked: "The cook in the house has excellent craftsmanship and excellent taste. How can you not be full?"

Du Qidao: "If you can't eat enough, you can't eat enough. What else is there to say. As far as the taste is concerned, you actually say it's good. I'm afraid it's for you to eat pig food, but you also said it tastes great."

Du Qi really didn't want to complain about his taste in doglegs.With his hands behind his back, he entered the back kitchen not long after.The kitchen is clean, there are some wild vegetables, mutton, etc., and there is not much other food.

After Du Qi wandered around for a while, his eyes finally fell on the only piece of tofu left.

Seeing this piece of tofu, Du Qi smiled.

For food, use tofu.

He took out the remaining tofu, cut them into small cubes, and soaked them in salt water.After doing all this, Du Qi

I started to prepare ingredients such as shallots and garlic, because there was no chili and bean paste in this era, but there was a specially made cornel sauce.

This cornel sauce was specially used to replace chili before the introduction of chili.There is cornel sauce, with pepper powder, green onion, garlic and other condiments, you can already make mapo tofu.

Du Qi did what he said.

He took the prepared ingredients to his yard.After all, the wok is in his yard, not in the kitchen.Today's food is mainly steamed and boiled, and there is no wok in the kitchen.

When Du Qigang was about to leave the kitchen, he found a pot of rice.

This is very rare in the north.

After all, the food in the north is mainly noodle cakes, hu cakes, soup cakes, steamed cakes, etc. Although rice is also available, it is not the mainstream.Du Qi didn't expect to see rice in the back kitchen, which is his favorite.

Du Qi said, "Bring the rice and two eggs."

"Yes!"

Liu Jian responded immediately.

Du Qi and Liu Jian, one with tofu and various ingredients, and the other with rice and eggs, went straight to their yard.When he returned to the yard, Du Qi asked Liu Jian to bring firewood to light the fire.

A fire broke out in the simple stove, and the temperature in the pot gradually increased, and Du Qi began to pour oil.For Du Qi, although he was young

Ji is not very old, but in fact, things like cooking are not complicated and can be done easily.

As the oil temperature rises, the vegetable oil gradually clears up and is already [-]% hot.Du Qixian poured cornel paste, chopped ginger, garlic, and a little peppercorns.

The smell of oily smoke is strong, but with such stir-fried ingredients, the aroma is already tangy in a short time.

Liu Jian sniffed lightly with his nose, smashed his mouth, with a look of surprise on his brows, and said, "Master, this smell is really delicious!"

"nonsense!"

Du Qi smelled the ingredients he was frying, waited for the ingredients to be fragrant, picked up the bowl, scooped up half a bowl of water and poured it into the pot.pour with water

Finally, Du Qi asked Liu Jian to add firewood, and the fire burned fiercely.

In a short time, the pot was already boiling.The red red oil boils and flips on the surface, especially the aroma of garlic, and the smell of dogwood, the aroma is tangy.

Du Qi added salt, adjusted the taste, and poured the tofu that had been cut into small cubes into it.As the broth reduced, this taste also soaked into the tofu cubes.

Although in this era, there is no seasoning of chicken essence, monosodium glutamate, etc., it is enough for Du Qi.

At the end, Du Qi added kudzu root powder for thickening.

Pueraria powder, similar to the sweet potato starch of later generations, can play a thick and lubricating role.This kudzu powder is based on kudzu

Roots are used as raw materials to produce starch granules.

Gefen is used as medicine, which has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

At the same time, it also has the effect of starch, which can make food tender and smooth.In the absence of later generations of sweet potato starch, kudzu powder is the most suitable thickening material.

As the kudzu root starch is mixed with water into the pot, the original soup becomes more viscous, and the bright red soup adheres to the small tofu cubes, making the tofu more delicious.

Du Qi grabbed a pinch of chopped green onion and sprinkled it in, turned it over twice, and took the tofu out of the pot.

A large plate of tofu is out of the pan, full of aroma.

The red color is filled with a refreshing fragrance, which can be said to be complete in color and fragrance.Even if Du Qi watched it by himself, he was still tongue-tied and couldn't bear to take a bite.

Du Qi was not in a hurry, he still had to make fried rice with eggs, and he ate fried rice with tofu. For Du Qi today, those days were like gods.

Du Qi asked Liu Jian to clean the frying pan and start preparing fried rice with eggs.With the golden yellow egg liquid, pour it into the pot, and under the ironing of hot oil, the egg liquid is quickly formed.

Fried rice with scrambled eggs, best served with rice, preferably overnight.

This is the best fit.

The rice grains fell down, mixed with the golden fried eggs, and kept turning, all the rice grains gradually had a hint of golden yellow.At this time, Du Qi poured a little water into the pot.The reason for this is to prevent the rice grains from being too dry and hard. With the infiltration of this little water, the rice has a better taste.
