Celebrities who were delayed by food

A good night is always short, but the charm of chicken feet with pickled peppers is irresistible.

The next day, chicken feet with pickled peppers became Xie's favorite snack.

But Xie Yunxi only had three jars of chicken feet with pickled peppers in total, and the capacity of that jar could hold fifty or sixty.

Everyone was addicted to eating, and when they saw the chicken feet were gone, they couldn't stand it.

Collecting the wishes of everyone in the Xie family, Xie Lang, the head of the Xie family, waved his hand and ordered to purchase a large number of live chickens. On the day the purchase was completed, all the chickens were slaughtered and their claws were chopped off.

However, such a large amount of chicken cannot be digested at one time even if the Xie family has a large population. Here comes, fresh, freshly killed whole chicken - except without the feet.

Of course, there must be a real reason for giving gifts, even if it is chicken.

It's just that the ancestor worship has already passed, and none of them happened to celebrate their birthdays. In desperation, Xie Yunxi came up with a reason - to congratulate the old lady Xie on his travels and return to the family.

This reason is very unreliable as soon as you hear it, but... so be it.

Everyone in the Xie family waved their hands, and they just muddled through the matter like this - anyway, the old Mrs. Xie just wanted to eat chicken feet.

And when the families received the chickens and heard some nonsense reasons, they all naturally had "huh?" expressions on their faces.

After they reacted, the various families began to ponder the deep meaning, but the deep meaning hadn't been figured out yet, but they all found those chickens—why there were no chickens caught?

Could it be alluding to something?

Is something going to happen?

Speculation, investigation, suspicion—for a while, the situation in Langya County gradually rose, and there were hidden surges.

However, the Xie family's family rules are very strict, so others can't find out any news.It's just that the more it is like this, the more mysterious the matter is. Xie's family is extremely "cold" this time, and has no intention of explaining it at all.

The truth, of course, was that they were so obsessed with marinating chicken feet that they didn't have time for such little things.

The investigation was fruitless, and speculation was useless. No, it didn't take long for various versions of rumors to operate.

The Sun family, the Helian family, and the Tang family, who are also top-ranking families, are also very concerned about this matter, and it just so happens that their family's Dalang Jun has been quite close to Xie Yunxi recently, and Sun Yiqian and others have also asked about it. Thoughts, so openly visited and asked why.

The three of them went to Xie's house for a while, and when they came back, they looked very strange. When the three heads of the family asked, they only took out a recipe, which was titled in the book - the steps of making chicken feet with pickled peppers.

The three Patriarchs: "..." Huh?

Ever since, the Xie family's legless chicken turmoil has not subsided, and the Sun family, Helian's family, and Tang family have also joined in the upsurge of purchasing broiler chickens and giving away legless chickens.

Of course, their reasons for giving gifts are also perfunctory and weird, which cannot stand up to scrutiny at all.

However, almost all broilers in the Langya area have been purchased by the Xie family, and there is no supply for the time being, so the three families can only purchase from outside.

Because of the simultaneous purchase and the large quantity, the price of broiler chickens has risen again and again under the condition of underdeveloped animal husbandry, and many meat prices have also fluctuated significantly.

Such a big movement naturally aroused the attention of the court.It is related to the four great families, and they are still in the same line, but the court did not dare to take any action lightly.

In desperation, the emperor could only write a letter of inquiry by hand, and asked someone to send it to Langya Xie's house as soon as possible.

A few days later, Xie Lang wrote back, but the content of the letter was a recipe for chicken feet with pickled peppers. As for other specific explanations, he did not mention a word, but at the end there were a few big words "this is a delicacy in the world".

The emperor looked at the recipe in the letter, and his expression was indescribable—feeling for the four of you who are messing around, and finally just to eat a bite of chicken feet!

It's really -- is it that delicious?

Curiosity killed the chicken, no, the court soon discovered that a large number of live chickens were slaughtered overnight in the breeding farms around the royal family, and the next morning, almost all the ministers in the court received rewards from His Majesty the Emperor— — Some clawless chickens.

Of course, the reasons given by the emperor for rewards are much more reliable than those of the four families. The general idea is: All the ministers have worked so hard for the country, so I will take this chicken and make up for it with my family.

Ministers: "?"

Apocalypse people: "?"

The shock caused by a pickled pepper chicken foot spread like a raging fire, but Xie Yunxi, who was the instigator of this storm, had already gone up the mountain with a few jars of freshly pickled chicken feet.

The so-called troubles in the world can't stop the heart, and peach blossoms are at ease.

However, before being happy, you have to fool around and thank the old lady.

On the eve of the ancestor worship, Xie Yunxi was obsessed with the old man's curiosity, and later he was distracted by the matter of the chicken feet. Now that he was free, the old man Xie started to move around again.

In order to prevent him from trying to fry the alchemy stove again, Xie Yunxi had thought of a way long ago, and named this method-the method of transferring soybeans.

Soybeans are a very common food, but Xie Yunxi feels that people nowadays are a bit overqualified for soybeans. You must know that soybeans are quite strong in plasticity. Its products include tofu, soy milk, shredded tofu, tofu skin, tofu Dried ham, bean curd sticks, vegetarian ham, etc. are really ever-changing and varied.

How can he enjoy such a fun and interesting ingredient alone.

Of course, there are so many soy products, Xie Yunxi plans to demonstrate the production of soybean tofu first in line with the idea of ​​​​step by step.As for other soy products, of course, it must be left to the old man to figure out and toss.

This day, after a thunderstorm, the sky was sunny and comfortable.

In the stone mill, Xie Yunxi fished out the pressed tofu, cut a piece of wood and handed it to the amazed Mrs. Xie, "Grandpa, look, this is the tofu with salted marinade, and I want these two pieces separately. Spotted with vinegar and plaster."

Soybeans are ground into soy juice, and then changed from soy juice to tofu. Those who have learned the relevant knowledge will naturally know that this is actually a simple protein coagulation, but at present, people do not have theoretical reserves in this regard.

No, Mr. Xie was very surprised when he saw the bean juice in the basin solidified from liquid to solid tofu.

He stretched out his hand in disbelief, and carefully touched the tofu, "This...how did the bean juice become like this, but I added some brine from the seaside, this vinegar, and that flour-like gypsum— —It's so strange."

Mrs. Xie is a rare old child with a spirit of scientific exploration, and the chemical phenomena contained in tofu can arouse his desire to explore. He held three pieces of freshly baked tofu, looked left and right, and touched them. , and remembered the three things that caused the qualitative change of soybean juice, and fiddled with it for a while.

Bittern, one of the three things to order tofu, is actually the liquid left in the salt pond after the sea salt has been dried to remove the salt.

The method of sun-drying salt is a new salt-making method entrusted to the family by Xie Yunxi last year. Of course, because this method involves too many interests, the Xie family is currently only trying it in secret internally. Mrs. Xie knows it, but But he never thought that the waste liquid after drying the salt would have such magical uses.

As for vinegar, it is a very common seasoning, and gypsum was found to be used as medicine to treat high fever a few years ago, and now it is considered a traditional Chinese medicine.

Bittern, vinegar, gypsum, and soy bean juice—these four seem to be irrelevant things, and they are clearly unrelated. How can soy milk become this... called tofu?

The old man Xie was full of question marks, "Sanlang, why these four can have such wonderful changes, I looked at the old man, but I didn't find that they have anything in common."

Seeing that he was curious, Xie Yunxi made a victory gesture secretly, but her face was extremely calm, she just said: "Ah, I don't know this too well, you know it, Grandpa, I just like to toss about food on weekdays, I discovered this tofu by accident, as for what they have in common..."

He tilted his head, pretending to be contemplative.

After a while——"They're all delicious, is this what they have in common?"

Old Master Xie gave him a chestnut head, hating iron for being weak, "You just know how to eat and eat."

"Isn't life just eating, drinking, and sleeping?" Xie Yunxi rubbed her forehead and said innocently, "Besides, this tofu is really delicious."

Old Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes angrily, and sighed secretly: Hey, this kid has no self-motivated mind at all. Faced with such a miraculous phenomenon, he knows how to eat with his mind full. It's really——

"Ahem, what, it's so delicious?"

Xie Yunxi grinned, and immediately the two grandparents moved to the kitchen.

For lunch, a sumptuous tofu feast.

Tofu mixed with shallots, spicy tofu, pan-fried crispy tofu, fish head tofu soup, etc., the grandparents and grandchildren of the Xie family were quite satisfied.

"Tofu, it's really delicious, Saburo is not deceiving me." Mr. Xie patted his bulging belly, and a flash of inspiration flashed, "Sanlang, this soy bean juice can be solidified, I don't know if other beans plus those three things can do the same Like that."

Thinking again, "I saw something like a thin coat floating on the pot just after it was heated. I don't know what it is. Can you fish it out and have a closer look?"

"Also, the taste of tofu made with salt and gypsum seems to be different from that made with vinegar. I don't know why?"

Without waiting for Xie Yunxi to say anything, he pondered again: "If the amount of brine, gypsum, etc. is reduced or increased, what will happen?"

Faced with all these questions, Xie Yunxi pretended not to know, and pretended to be stupid and said in a daze: "My grandson doesn't know about the doubts that my grandfather asked, why don't my grandpa stay here for a few days and study it carefully. It would be great if we can develop other eating methods.”

Naturally, foodies are most concerned about food, but the first half sentence agrees with Mrs. Xie's thoughts.

Immediately, Mrs. Xie decided to live in Taohua. For a long time, he was obsessed with the research of soybean juice. Every day at three o'clock and one line - the bedroom, the stone mill, and the kitchen, from morning to night. It was quite fun to play.

Under Xie Yunxi's intentional or unintentional guidance, a series of soy products such as soy milk, tofu brain, tofu skin, and yuba came into being, which not only satisfied Mr. Xie's exuberant curiosity, but also enriched the types of Xie's meals.

Of course, the most important thing is - the old man finally forgot to fry the alchemy furnace, looking for something exciting.

Congratulations, the whole family celebrates together.

However, this obsession with beans research actually has some minor sequelae.

For example, in order to satisfy Mrs. Xie's inexhaustible curiosity, Xie's family has purchased a large amount of supplies in a short period of time. The last time the clawless chicken incident has not subsided, there have been various beans purchased here. It really is a wave of ups and downs.

Moreover, this wave of purchasing has ushered in another "bloody storm" after Sun Yiqian and others visited Taohuaju.

The Apocalypse Four are not calling for nothing. When they purchase similar materials at the same time, the result is market turmoil.

And someone from the Xie family who caused all this—

"It's getting hotter and hotter today, and even the rain has decreased a lot. It looks like it's really going to be hot."

After the summer solstice is Xiaoshu.There are three seasons of Slight Heat, the first is when the warm wind arrives, the second is when crickets live in the sky, the third is when eagles start to prey, a solar term that even the wind is hot——

"Hey, I can't live this day, Huaiyuan, Uncle He, you can add a few more pieces of ice for me, then what, add another cold drink at noon~"

Huaiyuan: "..."

He Bo: "..."
