Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 320: Stinky Tofu and Garlic Sprouts

After hiring a bodyguard, An Qiao was no longer so passive and returned to her normal life.

I've been craving stinky tofu more and more recently. There are many types of stinky tofu, including the fragrant and crispy black stinky tofu, the moldy tofu with mold on it, and the stinky tofu that smells bad but tastes good...

No matter which one it is, it is food that makes people unable to stop.

An Qiao had seen moldy tofu in a tofu shop before. The snow-white tofu looked particularly fragrant.

However, this kind of tofu is relatively soft and not suitable for frying. If you want to make tofu that needs to be fried, you need to do more research.

An Qiao couldn't figure out how to make it for a while. She had never thought about these things in her previous life. If she wanted to eat something, she could just go to the market and buy it.

Looking at the fermented tofu that she bought on the morning of Dongzhi, many delicious foods appeared in An Qiao’s mind.

Stinky tofu rice noodles, steamed stinky tofu, stinky tofu cooked with garlic sprouts...

No matter which one it is, it makes people salivate.

Recently, we have had a lot of rice noodles and pasta, so we can’t have stinky tofu rice noodles. In order to keep it fresh, An Qiao thought of cooking stinky tofu with garlic sprouts.

When stinky is paired with stinky, it's invincible.

First boil a pot of water, add a small spoonful of lard when the water is hot, then cut the stinky tofu into pieces and put it into the pot.

While waiting for the stinky tofu to open, An Qiao remembered the remaining lard residue from the lard she had just refined that morning.

The fermented black beans in the backyard were almost ready to eat, so I simply scooped out a bowl of oil residue, scooped two full spoonfuls of fermented black beans into it, and put it aside to steam.

When the stinky tofu is cooked, add the garlic sprouts cut into thumb-length pieces and wait for it to cook for a while.

When it’s almost cooked, add oil, chili peppers and salt.

The chili oil is also freshly made in the morning. Put the chili powder and peppercorns in a small bowl, heat a little rapeseed oil, pour it into the small bowl, and stir well.

In this way, the stinky tofu and garlic sprouts were ready, and then the oil residue was almost steamed soft, so An Qiao invited everyone to try it.

"This stinky tofu is so smelly, young lady, not many people buy it every day."

Because no one knows how to do it...

According to legend, this thing was originally made by accident in a tofu shop. The white tofu could not be sold so it was just left there and forgotten about. It just so happened that there was straw underneath the white tofu.

It just so happened that the tray of white tofu was being used for cooking soy milk and beating beans, and it accidentally became stinky tofu.

However, Anqiao expressed doubts about this legend. She had the impression that one had to prepare the brine. Could it be that someone really made moldy tofu by accident?

Or is it that the brine is only for the crispy stinky tofu, and this kind of moldy tofu only needs to be fermented?

An Qiao is not very clear about the details.

Could it be that fermented tofu was originally made by accident?

Anyway, this thing doesn't poison people, so the tofu shop started making this moldy tofu.

But only a small amount can be sold every day, after all, not everyone is willing to eat this thing.

An Qiao has seen many people buy food and fry it, but it just doesn’t taste good. Not only does it keep sticking to the pan, but it also gets smellier and smellier.

The stench cannot be covered up, and there is no fragrance to be smelled.

It’s just that moldy tofu is cheaper than white tofu. After all, few people are willing to buy it. Most of the moldy tofu is made by tofu shops when the white tofu can’t be sold.

Half of the people present didn't know what this thing was, and the other half knew what it was but thought it smelled terrible.

"This is too stinky, my lady..." Yu Shui said with a sad face, not knowing why his lady was particularly fond of eating these stinky things.

Could it be that the young lady can't smell it?

Although the beef tripe hotpot last time and some weird things before were all pretty delicious.

But every time it was served, everyone found it hard to accept.

"It smells very good. You always say it stinks, but when you eat it, you find it delicious. Why not try it first?" An Qiao's face was full of anticipation.

She found that she had a bad taste recently. When she saw others struggling, but then looking happy after eating, she would feel very satisfied.

This is probably her latest quirk.

However, people don’t dare to eat too much of this thing nowadays because it can easily cause gout and has high purine content.

So An Qiao didn't think of sending a portion to the Marquis' Mansion. It's good to eat this thing occasionally to satisfy your craving.

The eldest princess and the old marquis are old. If anything goes wrong with them, Gu Qingyun would strangle himself to death.

Everyone scooped a spoonful to try it, and many people were surprised to find that the stinky tofu turned out to be honeycomb-shaped inside. The skin of the stinky tofu was soft and smooth after being cooked, and it was especially delicious.

When paired with chili oil and garlic sprouts, it no longer smells bad. I don’t know if it’s because everyone has eaten it, but no one can smell the bad smell after eating it.

"How is it? Did I lie to you? It's delicious." An Qiao looked at many people going for a second spoonful and felt very satisfied.

"It's really delicious, and the taste is very novel. I'm sure many people will try it after it's released." Lixia concluded. Although she has no one to cook for her, she has some understanding of the taste buds of diners in Kyoto restaurants.

“However, if no one is the first to try it, this thing may not sell well,” An Qiao concluded.

"It's okay. Aren't there enough weird things like this in our restaurant? There will always be people who accept it." Qiufen was very optimistic. After all, sometimes Qiufen felt that many people came to Kyoto restaurants to eat with the intention of "I want to see how weird this thing is."

An Qiao was very satisfied. "Let's put out new products tomorrow and buy more stinky tofu tomorrow."

When things got busy in the afternoon, An Qiao felt that many of the people there were familiar faces.

Unexpectedly, Anle’s turmoil didn’t last long, and the diners continued to come in an endless stream. It was no wonder that he was overwhelmed.

He worked so hard, but the result he got in the end was not what he wanted.

Zheng Yuanyuan from Guining Academy came, the guy who provided clues to Gu Qingyun.

An Qiao hasn't seen him for nearly half a month. He has never come since the incident with Madam Rong.

I saw it today and found it somewhat novel.

But the two of them didn't talk much, and An Qiao just thought he was here to eat.

But Zheng Yuanyuan stopped her.

"Miss An."

An Qiao looked back, feeling confused and not knowing what was going on.

"Young lady, I am a student of Guining Academy. Anle, I heard he is your brother?"

Zheng Yuanyuan was rarely serious, and with his frown on his face he looked like a little old man.

"Brother? He was before, but not now. Sir, just speak frankly if you have something to say." An Qiao looked at the child and always felt that he was here to complain.

She has nothing to do with Anle anymore. Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Anle is so flamboyant outside now. If you have any problems, go find Anle yourself, don't go to her.
