Chapter 548 Imitation vegetarian dish of first-grade tofu! The most suitable digestion exercise after meals - digging wild vegetables! 【Please subscribe】

Soon, the experience of Yipin Tofu poured into Lin Xu's mind.

This is a typical imitation vegetarian dish, and it is also a dish that is basically lost.

Because in reality, very few people can actually make Confucius' first-grade tofu. Although some Internet celebrity bloggers have made it by making cakes, which seems to be a successful replica, in fact, it is just a gimmick.

The preparation of this dish is very complicated.

Slice the tofu, blanch it three times in clear chicken soup to remove the beany smell, grind it with controlled water to make a puree, then chop the cooked pig fat into a puree with the back of a knife, mix it with the tofu puree, and sift.

Add salt, egg white and pepper, stir evenly, add pea starch to increase the consistency, and make it look like tofu again.

Steam briefly to set the shape, re-slice, fry in oil until the surface is golden brown, then simmer over low heat with stock and ham.

The cooked tofu is golden on the outside and rich in soup inside. The pieces are stacked on top of each other on the plate. It looks like a homemade braised tofu, but the taste and texture are far better than the usual tofu dishes.

Only this kind of tofu deserves the title of first-class dish.

Those methods on the Internet that crush tofu into puree and spread it on the bottom of the plate, add fried meat filling, and finally cover it with mashed tofu are not the first-grade tofu of Kongfu at all, nor do they reflect the imitation of vegetarian dishes with meat and vegetables. Essence.

The most important thing about imitation vegetarian dishes is that the diners have no idea that this is a meat dish before they eat it.

Only when you eat it, the sense of contrast and surprise will become very strong, and the diners will have a feeling of eye-opening.

The imitation vegetarian dishes such as chicken bean curd, chicken porridge, and snowflake chicken soup all have similar characteristics.

In addition to this method, there is also a method of mixing chicken brains, pigeon brains, and bird brains instead of tofu. The resulting first-grade tofu is more delicious and unforgettable.

But because it consumes too much ingredients, Qianlong only went to Confucius Mansion to eat it once. For the rest, he still used tofu honestly.

Lin Xu planned to take time to make it once. He had chicken soup, cooked pig fat, and ham at home. He only needed to buy a piece of tofu with a delicate texture to make first-grade tofu.

The most interesting thing about this dish is that although it has the word tofu in its name, the production cost is negligible.

What really costs money is ingredients such as chicken soup, stock, and ham.

"Wow, this chicken porridge is so delicious!"

When Lin Xuzheng was lamenting the delicious tofu, everyone at the table had already finished taking photos and started eating chicken porridge.

Shen Jiayue took a spoon and tasted the five kinds of chicken porridge one by one. She found that not only the colors were different, but the taste was also different.

The yellow chicken porridge has a carrot flavor, and it has the unique sweetness of carrots after eating it.

The black chicken porridge has a strong seafood aroma, and it tastes like drinking seafood soup.

The green ones still have the tender texture of spinach, only the red ones, and although the flavor of the red yeast rice is not too strong, you can still tell it.

These kinds of chicken porridge are paired with white chicken porridge, with five colors and five flavors, which makes people want to eat it after one bite.

Lin Xu tasted it and found that the chicken porridge made with seaweed paste tasted really good. It had a strong umami flavor, but it did not take away the umami flavor of the chicken. It just made the umami flavor more intense.

"It's really delicious. It tastes good and has a good texture. It's really amazing."

"Although it has the chicken porridge base that I had last time, I have to say that this soup is really amazing."

"Yes, it looks like ordinary rice porridge, but who would have thought that the taste would be so outstanding?"

"Xiao Xu's craftsmanship is still good. I will drink more today."

"Me too, I still feel comfortable drinking this kind of soup."

"..."

Everyone was chattering away, making Lin Xu feel embarrassed.

He took a few bites, returned to the kitchen, turned off the fire on the stove, and then opened the lid of the pot. The rich aroma in the pot was richer and more tempting than the last time he made it in the store.

Lin Xu took a deep breath, held the bamboo grate with both hands, lifted the pig's head out and placed it on the plate.

At this time, the pig's head is with the skin facing down.

He placed the prepared lettuce leaves and filled the thinner part of the pig's face.

Then take a large plate and put it on it, use both hands to turn the two plates over.

Take off the plate on top, then carefully remove the bamboo grate, and finally boil the remaining soup in the pot for a while, then carefully pour it on the pig's head.

This soup not only increases the aroma and taste of the pig's head, but also increases its texture, making the pig's head taste more delicious and more addictive.

The two pig heads were all poured out. Lin Xu and Shi Wenming brought them to the restaurant, placed them on the dining table, and put a basket of hollow steamed buns aside. This dish was complete.

"Is this a roasted pig head? It looks so tempting."

"Yes, it tastes great, Xu Bao. Share it quickly and let our family members have a try."

Shen Jiayue held up her mobile phone and "clicked" to take a photo, then picked up a hollow steamed bun and prepared to eat it with the pig's head between it.

However, the hollow steamed buns are just for embellishment. The truly delicious thing is the pig head. The meat is soft and tasty, with a fresh and delicious texture. It also has the unique sweet aroma of rock sugar.

This kind of meat makes people unable to stop eating it.

After everyone finished taking pictures, Lin Xu took chopsticks and cut the two pig heads into small pieces.

The whole pig head has a gelatinous nose arch, pig ears full of cartilage, and fat and thin pork face. No matter which piece is eaten, the taste and texture will not be too bad.

After cutting it up, everyone followed Shen Jiayue's example and picked up a shaky piece of pig head meat, sandwiched it with a hollow steamed bun, and then brought it to their mouths to take a bite.

They were immediately fascinated by the aroma and taste of pork head meat.

"It's delicious. The pork head that has been stewed for five or six hours has a really different taste."

Lin Hongqi took a bite of the pig's nose and couldn't help but admire it.

Chen Meide was also amazed:

"When I went to the capital this time, I thought the pressed pork head made by Xiaoxu was delicious enough. I didn't expect that the grilled whole pig's head tasted even better. I'll eat a few more pieces today. This meat is so satisfying."

Chen Meiliang took a bite of the hollow steamed bun filled with pork and asked Lin Xu:

"Has this dish been served in your restaurant?"

"No, I plan to try it when I go back this time. As long as customers make reservations in advance, we are ready to cook it. However, this kind of dish requires a lot of work. If the price is low, we will lose money. If the price is high, customers may not order it."

At that time, we can only use pre-customization.

Make a reservation in advance so that the chef can prepare it calmly and the customer can eat the pork head that is sufficiently cooked.

If it were to be sold on the same day, even if Lin Xu had a perfect recipe, he would not be able to make it at all. After all, the biggest cost of this dish is time.

In the face of time, other costs can be ignored.

Shen Guofu said:

"The roasted whole lamb in the store costs more than 2,000, so the pig's head must be at least 1,288 or above. It can't be too low, otherwise the roasted whole lamb will seem expensive, but it can't be too high. If it is higher, everyone will eat the roasted whole lamb. No one will eat pig heads anymore.”

What Lin Xu picked was the root of the pig's ear, which has a lot of brittle bones and a mix of fat and lean meat. It is an essential part of the pig's head that is easily overlooked.

He chewed the brittle bones and said:

"Let's discuss it when we go back and do a small survey to see what price range is more appropriate."

No matter what the dish is, it must eventually be converted into profits.

If a dish has no profit, no matter how popular it is, it will be in vain.

It is necessary to find the perfect balance between sales volume, cost and profit, so as to maximize profits and make more money.

When Shen Guofu mentioned this dish before, everyone thought it was just a pig head meat.

But after tasting it, I realized that I had underestimated this dish.

The graceful aroma and plump taste brought by the fat and lean meat of the pig head and the eye sockets are all tingling with everyone's heartstrings all the time.

I couldn't finish one bite and wanted to take another bite.

Lin Xu ate two pieces of meat and was worried that he would be injured, so he did not continue. Instead, he took a bowl of rice with some leftover soup from pig head stew in it, and then ate it with wild vegetables and scrambled eggs.

Although the wild vegetables are small in size, they have a rich and fresh flavor. When paired with the freshness of eggs, they taste even more delicious.

However, the most classic way to eat these wild vegetables is to stir-fry them with lard and dried chili peppers.

The reason why Lin Xu didn't cook it today was because there was a whole pig's head grilled. All the dishes at noon today revolved around the pig's head.

After all, this is a core dish and cannot be overshadowed by other dishes.

After eating two bites of wild vegetables, he put two pieces of stir-fried yellow beef and a few pieces of blood duck into the bowl.

When it comes to eating, this kind of dish is necessary. When paired with rice, the rate of rice decline will suddenly accelerate, and the appetite will begin to increase unconsciously.

Soon, Lin Xu finished a bowl of rice.

He picked up another hollow steamed bun, but this time there was no pig head, but a completely steamed vermicelli ball.

This way of eating originated from the old days of eating at a banquet, where a huge meatball was sandwiched between steamed buns.

Although this is not meatballs, the texture and taste are not much inferior.

Paired with the soft steamed buns, it doesn't look out of place. Instead, the steamed buns can absorb the fat on the surface of the meatballs, making them taste more delicious.

After eating, he got up and went to clean up the kitchen.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Shen Jiayue chased after him with a bowl of rice:

"Xubao, do you still have the pig head stew soup? I just saw you eating it and I was so greedy."

"Also, give me the bowl and I'll serve you some."

He took the bowl of rice and went to the kitchen, scooped out the glue-like stewed soup from the casserole and poured it on the rice. Even though it was just soup, it still went well with the rice.

As soon as Shen Jiayue left, Chen Shaokang and others came over with rice.

Lin Xu had no choice but to reheat the remaining soup, then put it into a small basin and brought it to the restaurant. Anyone who wanted to mix rice could scoop a little.

However, he also gave a friendly reminder that this marinade is very high in calories, so try to eat as little as possible.

Don't forget to celebrate the Chinese New Year, both adults and children will gain weight.

When he returned to the capital, what awaited him was the ruthless ridicule from his relatives and friends.

Lin Xu didn't know if others would be laughed at, but his baby would definitely be severely beaten by his sister-in-law.

After the meal, everyone felt full.

The sun was just right at the moment, so everyone moved chairs and stools and sat in a row in the yard, basking in the sun comfortably.

Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen and took a look at the remaining wild vegetables. They were almost enough to make a meal, but not enough for the eldest and second aunts to take home.

He stood next to the pig pen and watched Dun Dun teach the duck in the cage for a while, and then said:

"The sun is just right right now, why don't you go dig wild vegetables?"

This statement was immediately approved by Shen Guofu:

"Okay, just in time to eat."

The lunch of steamed wild vegetables with rice flour and stir-fried wild vegetables with eggs left a deep impression on the big boss, and he even felt that he had not eaten enough. So now that he was going to dig wild vegetables, he was naturally the first to agree.

The more you dig, the more you eat.

Everyone got up one after another and put on neater clothes.

Shen Jiayue said:

"It's not cold at all in the valley. Fortunately, I didn't wear a down jacket, otherwise I would have cried from the heat."

The three old people took a long walk in the morning and dug wild vegetables in the morning. Now they really had no energy left, so they said they would stay and look after the house.

Old Mrs. Lin asked Dundun:

"Little one, will you stay and guard the house with us?"

Dundun immediately ran over, wagging her tail, and jumped into the old lady's arms.

I really thought it would stay, but when everyone opened the door and got in the car, the little guy rushed into Lin Xu's car, then lay down on the driver's seat and stopped getting out of the car.

Shen Jiayue in the passenger seat held it in her arms and asked fiercely:

"I couldn't go there in the morning. Now I see that daddy is going, so I just follow him like a coward and ask, did daddy secretly feed you something delicious?"

Lin Xu closed the car door and saw that Han Shuzhen and Shen Guofu were already seated in the back seat, so he smiled and said:

"In the morning, I stewed some chicken blood in water and gave it to it. It was very happy. If I encounter chickens and ducks in the future, I will keep the blood for it."

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she gently patted Dundun's little butt twice:

"As expected, you'll betray mommy if you have something to eat, right?"

Dundun rubbed Shen Jiayue's hand in a flattering manner.

Arriving at the entrance of the valley not far from Starry Sky Base, Lin Xu stopped the car and waited for his uncle, uncle, aunt and uncle, as well as his father and mother to arrive. Then he took a small hoe and shovel and started building new buildings along the entrance of the valley. Go inside on the plank road.

Shen Jiayue patted the imitation wood grain railings on the plank road and said:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how much wood do you need to use?"

Lin Xu said:

"It's all made of cement, prefabricated with wood-grained molds, and just painted with a layer of paint."

"Cement?"

Not only Shen Jiayue, but also Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Shaokang and others were all a little surprised.

Because in their opinion, these railings are very similar to wood. On the way to dig wild vegetables in the morning, a few little ghosts were still talking about whether a bunch of fungus would grow in the summer, and even planned to pick them.

Now that I heard it was not made of wood, I was immediately disappointed.

Lin Hongqi said:

"These railings, as well as the vine-shaped railings on Longshou Peak, and the railings that look like curved wood, are all made of cement with steel bars inside, making them stronger and more durable."

If it is made of wood, not only will the cost be much higher, but it will also require maintenance and moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatment, which is not suitable.

If any piece of wood is not maintained enough to cause an accident, it will be too much of a loss.

There are occasional plank roads, and the original natural features are maintained as much as possible. Occasionally, there will be a small bridge or specially built stone pier that crosses to the other side, so that everyone can go to the other side.

It was the dry season, and there was only a narrow gurgling stream in the river, which looked very inconspicuous.

But when summer comes, it’s a different story.

When the excess water in the reservoir flows out, a river channel several meters wide will be formed here. If there is a heavy rain, the entire middle part of the valley will be filled with rivers.

The reason why this area was not developed before was because of the lack of manpower and concerns about people staying here, which would be very dangerous in the event of a flash flood.

This time Lin Hongqi plans to hire more people from nearby villages and entrust the fire brigade to provide everyone with safety training, such as fire fighting, disaster relief, etc., to ensure the safety of tourists as much as possible.

Continuing to move forward, the valley becomes lower and the river becomes much wider. From time to time, you can see giant rocks half the size of a car, washed down from nowhere.

The temperature here is obviously higher than outside, and various weeds sprout from the soil on both sides of the river.

Lin Xu unzipped the outdoor clothes, picked up the tired Dundun and put it on his shoulders, preparing to go down to find wild vegetables.

"We have already looked here, and we have to keep going forward. There are more ahead and the river is wider. Our mother said that some people have picked up jade in the river before."

As Shen Jiayue walked, she chatted with Lin Xu.

Continuing to move forward, the river valley becomes wider, and plank roads are also built on the hillsides on both sides, as well as upward steps, and there is an emergency escape platform at the top.

After walking for a while, the wild grass on both sides became lush and green, as if winter had never come, and it immediately switched from autumn to spring.

"This is it, let's get started, Dundun, come down and let dad dig wild vegetables. If I keep carrying you, you won't be able to dig wild vegetables."

Dundun jumped down and followed Lin Xu.

Watching Lin Xu carefully, he dug up a mother-in-law tree, shook the soil from its roots, and put it in a basket.

Then I saw another shepherd's purse. I shoveled it off by the roots with a shovel and put it in the basket as well.

Everyone dispersed and looked for wild vegetables, but none of the young people knew much about wild vegetables.

Although Shen Jiayue came once in the morning, she used a hoe to dig up a piece of inedible beef tendon. Only then did Lin Xu understand why there were so many people here in the morning and not many wild vegetables were dug up.

Probably because there are too many players like Shen Baobao who are not helping, the professional players are being held back.

Lin Xu knew wild vegetables.

It's not that he often dug with Mrs. Lin when he was a child, but he used 50,000 points to redeem a set of "Wild Survival Guide" in the system mall. He can clearly distinguish various medicinal materials and ingredients in his eyes.

Although experience is important, everything is vulnerable to plug-ins.

Shen Jiayue dug for a while, and when Lin Xu saw that only one of her half-basket baskets could be eaten, and it was cut off at the waist, he said to the girl:

"Baby, stop digging. Take Dundun to play around here for a while. He hasn't been here before, so he definitely wants to wander around..."

"Okay, come on, honey, Mommy will take you to pick up stones in the river. It is said that there are many small, shiny stones here, which are so beautiful."

When Dundun heard this, he left Lin Xu and followed Shen Jiayue with his little butt in his mouth, wandering around in the river.

Lin Xu continued to dig wild vegetables and soon he dug a basket.

Pour it into the woven bag you brought and continue digging.

Others also had harvests, and the further downstream you went, the more wild vegetables you got and the richer the varieties.

At this rate, not to mention steaming steamed buns in the afternoon, even steaming buns and making dumplings will be more than enough.

While digging, Shen Jiayue's voice came from the river:

"Wow, Dundun pulled out a translucent stone. I wonder if it is jade. It looks so beautiful..."

jade?

When Shen Guofu, who was busy playing tricks, heard this, he immediately ran into the river with the shovel in his hand, intending to see what he was pulling out...
