The peace of the Three Realms depends on me [Food]

41.Kimchi pot and bean curd rice

The big bowl next to the stove is already filled with a pot of tender bean curd. There are some holes in the middle of the uncompacted bean curd, and the slurry inside is slowly separating out.Because the bean curd is served with a shovel, the large pieces of bean curd are squeezed together but the outline can still be seen clearly.

The bean curd that just came out of the pot was steaming and exuding the aroma of beans. Ji Pingan, who had just drank more than half a bowl of soy milk, felt a little greedy.He couldn't help speeding up the action of scooping the bean curd into the mould. He put the bean curd in the pot into the mold earlier, so that he could free up his hands to prepare the dipping water for the bean curd.

Xiaobai put the washed green onions and coriander in the Shau Kei beside the pool, and he stood beside Ji Pingan to watch for a while.Then he took the spoon from Ji Ping'an's hand: "I'll do it."

Ji Pingan smiled and handed over the spoon: "Be careful not to burn it."

With Xiaobai's help and Ji Ping'an's assistance, the bean curd in the pot was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.After a while, four dripping molds were placed on the stool at the door, and a heavy object was placed on each mold.

Ji Pingan said with satisfaction: "I soaked three catties of soybeans this time, and I should be able to produce more than ten catties of tofu. There are many ways to eat tofu. If you and Xiao Huang don't hate eating, I will make more next time."

Xiaobai replied: "I'm fine, I think there is nothing Xiaohuang doesn't like."

Speaking of Xiao Huang, there has been no news from this guy since he left the house in the morning.Ji Pingan couldn't help being a little worried: "He won't be caught by hunters, right? There are several hunters in Qiancun, so don't hunt and kill Xiao Huang as a small animal in the mountains."

Xiaobai looked around and said, "Don't worry, the hunter who can kill him hasn't been born yet." It seems that Xiaobai has great confidence in Xiaohuang.

Xiaobai calmly added: "It's almost time for dinner, I think he will be back soon." Based on Xiaobai's understanding of Leng Changtian, he will never miss a meal no matter what.

The tofu was slowly filtering out the water in the mold, and Ji Pingan was preparing to dip it in water.When eating radish rib soup last time, Xiaobai had already fully appreciated the beauty of chili oil.But this time, with enough time, Ji Ping'an could make a better dipping water.

While the peppers were roasting in the stove, Ji Pingan chopped green onions and coriander into fine pieces and put them in a bowl.In addition to these two seasonings, Ji Pingan also chopped shallots and garlic seeds and put them in it.These spicy seasonings exude their own aroma, and when they are piled up in the bowl, they cover the bottom of the bowl.

Xiaobai stood by the stove to prevent the peppers from being burnt by the fire.When the peppers were roasted, he picked up the wooden mortar and imitated Ji Ping'an's way to pound the pepper noodles.The chili peppers crackled under the wooden pestle and turned into chili powder, and Xiao Bai felt all the pressure fly away.

The pounded chili powder is thick and fine, sprinkle a handful in the bowl, and the spicy taste will come out.After adding some salt and sugar into the bowl, Ji Pingan also dripped a few drops of balsamic vinegar into it, including two kinds of oil.

Xiaobai recognized one of them as the sesame oil he had eaten before, and he had no impression of the other.

Ji Pingan smiled and said: "This is pepper oil. I fried it with green peppercorns. It tastes numb. Add a little bit to the bowl, and it will become spicy and spicy when dipped in water, and the taste will be even better."

Xiao Bai didn't know there was such a miraculous oil, and seeing his curious eyes, Ji Pingan suddenly wanted to play a little prank.He dipped his chopsticks in the pepper oil lightly, and then handed it to Xiaobai's lips: "You will understand after you taste it."

Xiaobai licked it unpreparedly. He didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, the tip of his tongue became numb.The tingling sensation spread from the tip of the tongue to the whole mouth, and Xiaobai was stunned. Why is this pepper and salt so powerful? !After such a short time, he felt his tongue was numb.

Ji Pingan laughed until tears came out: "How is it? Isn't it exciting?"

Xiaobai waited for a long time before feeling the numbness on the tip of his tongue gradually dissipating. He looked at the blue pepper oil in Ji Ping'an's hand with lingering fear: "It tastes so exciting, but it's surprisingly sensuous."

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "Once when I was eating hot pot, I put pepper oil in a bowl as sesame oil, and I lost my sense of taste after one bite. I couldn't even tell what the hot pot tasted like that time."

Xiaobai believed what Ji Pingan said: "Yes, if you accidentally stick too much, your tongue will be paralyzed." Now he still feels his tongue is numb, this feeling is very strange and interesting.

Too much is too much, too much pepper oil can paralyze the mouth and tongue.But put it in a bowl for a while, and it turns into a delicious numb taste.

Ji Ping'an mixed the dipping ingredients in the bowl evenly and put it on the stove. Looking at the big red bowl of dipping ingredients, Xiaobai felt that the dipping ingredients would taste particularly good this time.

Ji Pingan encouraged Xiaobai and said, "Can you dig a spoonful of bean curd and dip it in this water?"

The bean curd is so tender that you need to lift it with chopsticks to eat it.Afraid that Xiaobai would be embarrassed by eating with chopsticks, Ji Pingan handed him a spoon.

Xiaobai gently poked the bean curd with a spoon, and the bean curd trembled slightly.So soft, as soft as a cloud in the sky!Xiao Bai couldn't help but lighten his strength, he was afraid that if he exerted more strength, the bean curd would fall apart under his spoon.

After the trembling bean curd rolled in the dipping bowl, the white and tender bean curd was immediately stained with the color of the dipping water.The small holes in the bean curd are perfect places to hide and dip in water. At first glance, the red and white inside the spoon is really beautiful.

Stuff the beancurd into your mouth while it is hot, and the taste of dipping water bursts out in your mouth suddenly.The spicy and fresh dipping water is moderately salty, and it is paired with springy bean curd. It is a kind of enjoyment to eat in your mouth!

The hot bean curd danced in his mouth, rolled to his throat and flowed to his stomach. Xiao Bai felt that the cells in his whole body were activated, and the aura in his body flowed uncontrollably.

If there are any words to describe the taste of bean curd dipped in water, two words can describe it-beautiful!

Is there anything better in the world than bean curd dipped in water?It can be served as a dish or as a side dish. If Xiaobai is given a bowl of rice now, he will be sweating profusely with just this pot of bean curd.

Ji Pingan also picked up a piece of bean curd, rolled it in the water and put it in his mouth.After he smashed it, he always felt that something was missing, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind-I thought of it!

He said something was missing, how could there be no Huoxiang in the bean curd dipped in water?

Next to Ji Ping'an's vegetable garden is a clump of wagwort, the common wrinkle has turned into withered grass in autumn and winter, but the wrinkle can germinate purple-red buds.

After pinching off a few fresh Huoxiang buds, Ji Ping'an's hand was filled with the unique smell of Huoxiang.After sniffing it, Xiaobai said pertinently, "It's a bit... minty, and also a bit fishy."

Ji Pingan smiled: "Yes, yes, roasted fish with Huoxiang is also delicious. Didn't I make fish-flavored pork shreds a few days ago? Actually, you can throw a little Huoxiang into it at that time, but I forgot .”

Ji Pingan sighed: "What should I do? My memory is like a colander. Grandma said that my memory will get worse as I get older. What if I forget the way home one day?"

Xiaobai said sternly: "No." Without waiting for Ji Pingan to grow old, Xiaobai will find a way for him to practice.As long as Ji Ping'an can control the aura, he won't age so fast.

After the patchouli leaves are cut into thin shreds and thrown into the seasoning bowl, the taste of the seasoning will be richer.Huoxiang is a plant that seems to be born for seasoning. With it, the fragrance of the whole bowl of dipping sauce has been improved several levels.

Under the first grade, Xiaobai was astonished as a heavenly man, and the dipping water with Huoxiang was really fragrant!It was so fragrant that he didn't want to put down his chopsticks at all.

However, it's not time for lunch yet, and since Xiao Huang is still wandering outside, the two of them can't eat all the bean curd.

After tasting a few pieces of bean curd, the two put down their chopsticks.Ji Pingan put the bean curd pot in a large pot and warmed it with hot water so that the bean curd wouldn't get cold easily.

Simply eating bean curd doesn't make you hungry, but Ji Ping'an still has to make meals that can satisfy his hunger.Today's main course is tofu, there is no doubt about it.Whether to make mapo tofu or braised tofu, Ji Pingan hasn't made a decision yet.

When he was struggling, his eyes fell on the covered jar in the courtyard.Inside the jar was the spicy cabbage made some time ago. Ji Pingan put his hands in his hands and turned to look at Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, do you want spicy cabbage?"

A thin layer of snowflakes fell on the lid, and after the lid was lifted, the jar was still covered with a layer of oil paper.After unwrapping the oil paper, a spicy smell wafted out.This spiciness is different from the choking spiciness I smelled before. It is a bit sour and mixed with a strong garlic smell.

Ji Pingan reached out and took out three balls of spicy cabbage from the top layer and put them on the plate. The spicy cabbage was still wrapped in thick chili sauce, with pieces of fruit and scallions sandwiched in the middle.

Ji Ping'an's hand was covered with chili sauce, he pulled a choy sum and brought it to Xiaobai's lips.Without his greeting, Xiaobai opened his mouth and took the cabbage heart.

As soon as the spicy cabbage is eaten, the first thing you feel is cold.This is not surprising, the two of them just ate warm tofu curd, and now they serve a piece of spicy cabbage that has been hidden in the ice and snow for a long time, isn't it cold?

After a little bit of chewing, the cabbage is crisp, and the taste of the sauce has been fully integrated into the cabbage.The cabbage from Ji Ping'an's family tastes slightly sweet and slightly sour, and the variety of cabbage is good, so it tastes very refreshing.

Ji Pingan himself tore a piece of cabbage heart and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing, he nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! I'll use it to make a spicy cabbage pot later."

Xiaobai's eyes are full of tenderness: "Okay."

The spicy cabbage pot made by Ji Pingan has always been more casual, and he will throw whatever is in it.But there must be two things in the pot: cabbage and meat.Without the meat, a kimchi pot is just a one-pot boiled vegetable medley.

Ji Pingan took out a piece of meat from the grain hopper. The pork legs bought in Pingqiao Town some time ago are not much left now.Ji Pingan cut a piece of half-fat and half-lean meat and said, "I will continue to buy meat when I go to Pingqiao Town in two days, but I have to get up earlier."

In winter, Shao Santu's meat is not worrying about selling.If you want to buy good meat, you have to get up early.Ji Pingan is not a lazy person, but it was quite exhausting for him to rush to the town in the severe winter.

42.Kimchi pot and bean curd rice

It seems that the meat preserved in Frost Sky will not go bad. The pork legs have been bought for so long, and the meat is still fresh.Ji Pingan took a piece of meat that weighed more than one catty. After washing the hind leg meat, he cut the meat into thin slices and put it in a bowl for later use.

After he sliced ​​the onion, ginger, and spicy cabbage, today's important protagonist should appear.

The tofu has been put into the mold for two cups of tea. According to experience, the tofu has already formed at this time.Ji Pingan took a mold from the stool at the door and came in. He lifted the cover and lifted the gauze.

At this time, the tofu is no longer a bag of water like it was when it was put in. After the tofu wrapped in gauze has been backlogged with heavy objects, the water inside is discharged.The soft bean curd has turned into firm and white tofu, and when you touch it with your hand, there is still a little warmth in the middle.

Ji Ping'an's molds are square and square, and one mold can usually squeeze out more than three catties of tofu.He turned the mold upside down on the chopping board, and as he shook it slightly, the tofu wrapped in gauze fell on the chopping board.

After removing the gauze next to the tofu, a square old tofu appeared on the chopping board.Ji Pingan casually cut two knives on the block of tofu, and the tofu on the chopping board was divided into four.

He took two pieces and cut them into thick slices and put them in a bowl, and put the remaining two pieces in a wooden barrel and raised them with clean water.After he collected all the tofu on the stool outside as in the same way, he got a small half bucket of tofu cubes that sank in the water.

Just as I expected, three catties of beans yielded more than ten catties of tofu. In the next period of time, tofu will often appear on their table.

Xiaobai raised the fire in the stove again, and when the pot was hot, Ji Pingan poured a little soybean oil into it.Just a little soybean oil can fully stir-fry the fat in the meat slices. If there is no oil, the meat slices are easy to burn.

Thin slices of meat creaked in the pan, and the smell of frying meat flew from the kitchen.Ji Pingan inhaled the aroma of the meat and said, "It smells so good. When we buy the meat and come back, shall we make barbecue?"

Xiaobai has no objection: "Okay." In fact, barbecue is the food that Xiaobai eats most in the demon world, but he has a hunch that the barbecue made by Ji Pingan must be better than the ones he ate before.

When the meat slices were almost fried, Ji Pingan poured the ginger and garlic slices into the pot.After frying the ginger and garlic, he added kimchi.As soon as the kimchi was put into the pot, a garlic and sour smell wafted out, and the pot was bright red. Even so, Ji Pingan dug a large spoonful of chopped pepper sauce from his chopped pepper jar and put it into the pot.

Whether it's chopped peppers or the spicy sauce on top of the spicy cabbage, enough salt is added in it.After stirring for a while, Ji Pingan added boiling water that hadn't touched the cabbage in the pot.

Hot steam came out of the pot with the sound of bubbling and bubbling, and it was so steaming that Ji Pingan couldn't see what was going on inside the pot at all.However, this did not affect the tofu he had cut, and he placed the white and tender tofu on top of the kimchi.

Xiaobai glanced at the pot and smiled: "What a coincidence, today's two dishes are both red and white."

Ji Pingan was happy: "I didn't notice it if you didn't tell me, isn't the red and white color scheme too monotonous? Would you like to pick some Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and fry it?"

Xiaobai looked at the amount of dishes in the cabbage pot and shook his head: "No need, I think these two dishes are enough for us."

Ji Pingan smiled and said: "That's right, no matter how much we do, Xiao Huang and Hu Zi can make it round!"

The spicy cabbage pot was slurping incessantly, and the tender tofu was stained red.It's almost time for dinner, why haven't Xiao Huang come back yet?

After thinking for a moment, Ji Pingan asked, "Shall I shout?"

Maybe Xiao Huang played like a child and forgot the time to eat. If he yelled, would he be able to come back?

Just as Xiaobai was about to say something, Xiaohuang's voice came from a distance outside the courtyard: "Chirp—safe—I caught a pig for you!!"

Xiao Huang's voice echoed in the quiet mountain col: 'Pig——' 'Pig——'

Ji Pingan walked out of the kitchen and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a group of jumping black spots flying from the direction of Xishan.As the black dot gradually approached, Ji Pingan finally saw what it was.

It was a heavily tied wild boar, with a yellow dot standing on top of the wild boar.It's not someone else, it's their Xiao Huang.Because Xiao Huang is smaller than a pig, even if he flaps his wings hard, he still looks like he is standing on a pig.

The pigs are too heavy, and Xiao Huang, who is so small, may not be able to carry one. He flies up and down, causing the wild boars in the net to also go up and down.

Ji Ping'an's heart ached, he was afraid that Xiao Huang would fall from the sky.Why is this kid so reckless?Where did he get such a big pig? !

Xiao Huang was so happy that he spoke loudly from far to near: "Peace——eat meat——"

Xiaobai said softly to Ji Pingan: "When my cultivation level recovers, I will also go to the mountains to find prey."

Ji Pingan quickly relieved: "No, no, Xiaobai, you have already done a lot for me."

When taking Xiaobai and Xiaohuang in, Ji Pingan never thought of asking them for anything in return.But when he saw Xiao Huang came back after catching wild boars, he was still stunned.

Xiao Huang is too capable!Such a big pig was caught by him? !

However, before Ji Pingan could see clearly what Zhu Zhang looked like, he heard the barking of a dog and He Lang's voice from the direction of Xishan: "Wait! Don't go!"

Ji Pingan: ...

There was a wild boar weighing three to four hundred catties lying in the yard. The wild boar had black manes all over its body, and the fangs at the corners of its lips were longer than Ji Pingan's arms!The wild boar was still alive, and it hummed softly while shaking its body.

If such a wild boar was encountered in the wild, Ji Pingan would definitely do everything possible to hide away.However, such a wild beast is powerless under Xiao Huang's claws.

The chubby big yellow chicken walked back and forth on the wild boar, and he flapped his little wings proudly: "Eat meat, eat meat~ Ping An loves meat."

Beside the wild boar, He Lang propped his legs up and panted like a cow, and his two big dogs huddled outside the courtyard wall with their tails between their legs, not daring to move forward.He Lang's nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his clothes were torn, and he looked like he had been severely beaten by someone.

He Lang's face was flushed from running, and he was still swearing: "Grass... grass..."

Ji Pingan quickly patted him on the back to comfort him: "Don't get excited, Langzi, calm down."

The current situation had to make Ji Ping'an think more, since Xiao Huang had a lesson from the past when he knocked him into the water because of a rice ball.Ji Pingan came to a heavy conclusion: Xiao Huang snatched Langzi's prey and beat Langzi up.

As Xiao Huang's family member, Ji Ping'an felt very guilty and felt very sorry for He Lang.

After He Lang gasped for a long time, he finally managed to catch his breath. When Ji Pingan thought his first reaction was to ask Xiao Huang Xingshi for his crimes, He Lang raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Bai: "Who is this guy?! Ping An! You actually hid a big man at home!"

The corner of Ji Ping'an's mouth twitched, how could he forget this?It's all Xiao Huang's fault, making such a big commotion that Xiao Bai even forgot to turn into a monster!

But now that the matter has been exposed, Ji Pingan still confessed honestly: "He is Xiaobai."

When He Lang heard this, his face turned pale, and he almost fainted.Ji Pingan quickly supported him: "Langzi, calm down! Have you forgotten? Xiaobai is a spirit beast, he can transform!"

He Lang stabilized his figure, and looked at Xiao Bai who was a little taller than him sadly.Looking at Xiaobai's handsome face, He Lang said solemnly: "Grass, this ugly cat is more handsome than me after taking shape."

Ji Pingan: ...

Where did He Lang focus his attention?

Just when Ji Pingan was about to apologize for Xiao Huang's actions, He Lang looked at Xiao Huang: "What about this little chicken? You also know him?"

Ji Pingan said embarrassingly: "Well...the one I picked up two days ago was also a little spirit beast. I'm sorry, Langzi..."

He Lang grabbed Ji Pingan's hand: "Ping An, your chicken saved my life!"

Ji Pingan:? ? ?

It turned out that Xiao Huang hadn't snatched this wild boar from He Lang, and the fact was slightly different from what Ji Ping'an thought.Xiao Huang did rob something, but he didn't rob the wild boar, but he robbed He Lang.

When He Lang was hunting in the mountains, he encountered a litter of wild boars. Everyone in the mountains knew how aggressive wild boars were.He didn't want to be troublesome at first, but he didn't expect the leader of the pig herd to find He Lang.He Lang was chased by pigs and ran all over the mountain.

Just when he rolled down the hillside and was about to be overtaken by the wild boar, he saw a beam of light descending from the sky and hit the wild boar on the neck.The huge wild boar fell down with a bang, and then he saw a happy little yellow chicken jumping and singing and landed on the wild boar.

He Lang contributed his trapping net to tie up the wild boar. As soon as the wild boar was tied up, the little yellow chicken flew up and carried the wild boar away.He Lang chased Xiao Huang for three hills before finding it. He never expected that it was a new pet in a friend's house.

He Lang made a deep self-criticism: "In the past, I always scolded you for being soft-hearted and picking up things randomly. Now I apologize to you. I was wrong, and you still have vision."

The spirit beasts are really different from the wild beasts in the mountains. The spirit beasts can transform into forms, do things and save people, while the wild beasts in the mountains will only drag their families to steal chickens.

He Lang looked at Xiao Huang with eager eyes at this moment, God knows how much he wanted to pick up such a useful chick.

Suddenly there was a wild boar in the house, and Ji Pingan fell into sweet distress.The sweet thing is that after the pig is killed, he doesn't need to buy meat this winter, but the trouble is that he doesn't know how to kill pigs.

But killing pigs is not a problem for He Lang. He Lang is from a family of hunters. He is not good at farming and doing farm work, but it is not a problem to deal with prey.Without He Lang, Xiaobai could kill pigs.As the beast king, even if his cultivation was only one-thousandth of what it was before, he could easily dismember this wild boar.

Don't worry about killing pigs, the most important thing now is to eat.

Ji Pingan patted He Lang on the back: "Go, today I made spicy cabbage pot and bean curd!"

He Lang was delighted: "Oh, I told you that you cooked delicious food, and I could smell the aroma of bean curds from afar! Let's go and eat!"

Kill pigs or something, let’s talk when we’re full!

The author has something to say:

When I was writing this chapter, all I could think about was bloody blood, and it was all because of the dipping sauce in the tofu rice, which reminded me of this dish.

It’s a pity that when I was traveling, I only ate vegetarian bean curd, and I didn’t have time to try meat bean curd.Seeing the friends in the comment area say that the meat bean curd is delicious, the mouth is drooling.

I hope the epidemic will pass quickly, I want to stroll around and eat delicious food~

Interview He Lang, what do you want to say when you see Xiaobai become a human?

He Lang: ... This kid is even more handsome than me.
