Food conquers the world

"Of course it's true!" Mel was excited.

Zou Kai has noticed that the village seems to be more lively than usual since just now. Maybe something major has happened?

"Where is the prince?" Mrs. Huo Sen was also a little curious, as if she wanted to see the prince.

"The prince is coming tomorrow!" Maier said, "Today the messenger came to inform that the prince will arrive tomorrow. Grandpa asked me to call Teacher Kai to prepare some delicious treats for the prince!"

"I don't want to do it." Zou Kai refused without even thinking about it. It must be troublesome to cook for the prince, and he is not in the mood now, "You have learned a lot, Maier, you can do it."

Maier was very surprised: "Mr. Kai, do you really want to give me the opportunity? Do you really want to give me the opportunity to cook for the prince?"

Maier's tone was like cooking for the prince is the honor of everyone's life. Zou Kai was irritable just now, but now he thought about it. If he could cook for the prince and get his approval, would he be the one? The one who climbed the royal family?

He turned his eyes and landed on Mrs. Huo Sen. Forget it, it's still too troublesome... But it seems that he can take this opportunity to cook something delicious for Mrs. Huo Sen?

Thinking of this, Zou Kai immediately changed his words: "Forget it, I'll do it, you help me, I'm still a little worried about you."

"Okay!" Maier's tone was not lost at all, but was still full of excitement, "I'll go back and tell grandpa!"

"Go." Zou Kai said.

"Be careful when you go back." Mrs. Huo Sen gently instructed.

Zou Kai thought about what he could do to feed the prince. Almost everyone in the village of Woliji only grows potatoes and wheat. For wheat, of course, they bake bread, which he is not good at. He believes that anyone in this village Housewives are better than him.As for the potatoes, all the potato recipes he could think of had already been cooked for Mrs. Huo Sen, and he couldn't think of any new tricks for the time being.

While he was racking his brains to think of new dishes, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes at the gate of Mrs. Huo Sen's yard, and it wasn't long before Mel's voice sounded at the gate: "Kay! Kay!"

Zou Kai was in the yard, and Mrs. Huo Sen's yard was only surrounded by a short fence that didn't reach his waist. When he looked up, he saw Maier and Maier's brother Iter sitting in a horse-drawn horse. On the cart, Maier was waving at him excitedly: "Kay! Let's go to Dunn Town! Yite sent us there!"

"What are you doing in town?" Zou Kai asked.

"To make the best food for His Royal Highness!" Maier said and waved to him, "Come up quickly, or it will be dark if you don't go back!"

"I don't have any money." Zou Kai looked at the two of them and said very sincerely.

Yi Te smiled: "It's okay, I'll take it, let's go."

"Okay!" Zou Kai immediately agreed, Tang En Town is small but full of things, maybe you can find something good if you go there.He pushed open the courtyard door and went out, put his right hand on the car board, and jumped directly onto the car, his movements were clean and neat.

With Yite paying for it, Zou Kai walked around Dunn Town for a whole time, buying everything he needed or not, but he still didn't decide what to do tomorrow.

They wandered around and came to a place that sells miscellaneous grains. Zou Kai walked around inside, and finally set his sights on the soybeans in the store.

Since the prince of the Kenton Kingdom, the largest kingdom in the Wilder Continent, is here, it is natural to show off something that ordinary people cannot do.Zou Kai held the soybeans and meditated for three seconds, thinking about whether all kinds of utensils were complete. After thinking for a while, he immediately decided to make bean curd!

He put down the soybeans in his hand and said to the boss, "Here's some."

"Would you like to cook beans?" The boss chatted with him enthusiastically, "If you want to cook beans, I suggest you also buy some oatmeal, add two eggs, cook for 10 minutes, then beat the eggs in and mix, then add some salt Slice of bread to eat..."

"Break your two front teeth." Zou Kai continued mercilessly, mockingly, "Actually, I think it would be better to put some fish in it, and you can also put honey."

"Ah, of course I have to put it in! Especially honey, it's so good that I have to add it!"

"Hehe." Zou Kai smiled, "No oatmeal, no eggs, just give me some soybeans."

Making bean curd requires a series of delicate but uncomplicated processes. The first step is to soak the beans.There is no trick to soaking the beans, just soaking the beans to make them easier to grind.

After Zou Kai got home, he found a wooden barrel and soaked the beans until the next morning.Zou Kai got up early in the morning and brought a bucket of beans to the mill.

To make bean curd, you usually use a stone mill to grind the soaked beans into a slurry, but you can’t find a stone mill here. Zou Kai uses the mill of the mill, and the raw soybean milk produced is similar to that of the stone mill.

After grinding the raw soy milk, Zou Kai ordered Itmel to help, first tied the four corners of a piece of clean cloth with a rope, tied the other end of the rope with the four corners to the door frame, and placed a large basin under the cloth .Then Zou Kai poured a bucket of freshly ground raw soy milk into the middle of the cloth, and immediately white soy milk was filtered out, while the cloth was a thick mass of bean dregs.

Zou Kai washed the bean dregs with clean water several times, and he didn't continue to add water until he took half a pot of soy milk. Instead, he took half a pot of soy milk and poured it into the largest pot he could find.

Maier watched and learned from the side, and Zou Kai also told him to watch carefully, making bean curd is not easy, and he might do it just once.Seeing this, Maier was puzzled: "It's pretty simple, there's nothing technical about it, it's all about strength, right?"

Zou Kai smiled: "These are still the preparations for making tofu curds, and the next step is the highlight."

Mel couldn't help but get serious.

Zou Kai kept staring at the pot, and when the soy milk in the pot was about to bubble, he turned the heat to low, then scooped out a bowl, added honey and handed it to Maier: "Taste it!"

Maier took it and blew it, and took a sip carefully. The sweetness of the beans and the sweetness of honey made it very refreshing. His eyes lit up immediately, and he praised: "It's delicious!"

Zou Kai scooped up another bowl, handed it to Maier and said, "Give it to Mrs. Huo Sen."

Maier didn't care about the heat, so he blew on the soy milk in the bowl in his hand, and prepared to finish it in a few sips.

Zou Kai hit Maier's head with the handle of a spoon, and taunted mercilessly: "Your head was eaten by a donkey? Can't you just send the soy milk there and come back to drink it?"

Maier didn't quite understand what it meant to be bitten by a donkey, but it didn't sound like a good thing, so he didn't ask, and looked at the unfinished soybean milk with some reluctance, then put down the bowl and took Mrs. Huo Sen's portion side over.

Maier stepped out of the kitchen door on the front foot, and Zou Kai took out the vinegar on the back foot, then poured the vinegar into a bowl, and scooped some soy milk into the bowl.

He had just finished doing this when Maier came back. Zou Kai took out a large spoon and scooped up half a spoonful of soy milk mixed with vinegar.

"Look at it, this is the highlight of making tofu curd, order tofu curd."

Zou Kai put the spoon filled with vinegar into the pot. He didn't use the spoon to stir, but stuck the spoon on the surface of the soy milk in such a way that the vinegar in the spoon didn't flow.Then he waved his arms, keeping the spoon at the height of the water surface, and slowly drew circles on the water surface, allowing the vinegar in the spoon to slowly and evenly blend into the soybean milk. .

"This step is the most important step in making bean curd. If you order it too old, the bean curd will be old and taste bad. If you order it too tender, the bean curd will not solidify, which means it has failed."

Zou Kai was explaining to Maier, but the movements in his hands didn't stop.At first, Maier was a little puzzled when he saw him doing this, but then he really stared at the pot with his eyes wide open, and his open mouth was so surprised that he couldn't close it.

The soft white soy milk in the pot gradually became clear, and white flocs began to appear in the pot, and finally there was clear water with a slight green color and white lumps that condensed into a whole piece in the pot.

When the soy milk in the pot was almost clear, Zou Kai had already retracted the spoon in his hand. At this moment, he looked at the formed bean curd in the pot with satisfaction and said, "It's almost there."

"This, this, this!" Maier looked at the pot, incoherent for a while, "This, magic? What did you do, teacher, did you use magic just now?"

"Wrong." Zou Kai boasted shamelessly and shamelessly, "This is wisdom, and only I have the wisdom in this world."

After hanging out with Zou Kai for a long time, the initial respect in Maier's heart was also wiped out by this person's shamelessness. At this moment, although he knew that Zou Kai was talking big, he couldn't help feeling a little admiration.

"I still have a lot of wisdom," Zou Kai smiled meanly at Maier, "Speaking out will scare you to death."

Maier was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "So how do you eat this?" He pointed to the pot.

"Oh, this." Zou Kai raised the spoon, "It's not finished yet."
