"boss!"
Going back to Yang Ming's shop, he put the Lanwan in his hand on the ground, "This is that guy's partner, maybe we can use him."
"What do you guys want to do to Lei Ya!" Although Ranmaru looked like a young lady, when it came to Lei Ya's safety, he showed an extremely firm expression, "I won't let you guys hurt Lei Ya!"
Seeing Lanwan struggling to support his upper body on the ground, Yang Ming was taken aback, "Your legs..."
"I want you to take care of it!" Ranwan turned his head pretending to be disdainful, and snorted coldly.
At this time, Lei Ya was anxious about Lanwan's safety, he didn't care about the strength of his legs, he stimulated his leg muscles with lightning again, and rushed to Yang Ming's shop at a very fast speed.
Lei Ya breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ran Wan was unscathed.
Afterwards, he stared at Yang Ming vigilantly, and roared angrily, "You put Lan Wan on me!"
"Oh?" The corner of Yang Ming's mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was not a smile, "Why are you!"
"I……"
Lei Ya opened his mouth, wanting to say a few harsh words, but when he saw that No More Beheading General was aiming at the back of Lanwan's head, he became impatient.
"How do you want to let Ranmaru go?"
The extremely proud Lei Ya lowered his head, for the sake of Ranwan's safety, it was the first time he begged someone so humbly.
Seeing this, Yang Ming didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he immediately felt better and said with a smile, "As long as you come to be my security captain, I'll let him go."
"It's that simple?" Lei Ya looked confused, originally he had prepared himself to be brutally slaughtered, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
Security captain?
Then do it!
Compared with Ranwan's safety, even if it takes Lei Ya's life, he is willing to do so!
"Okay! I promise you!" Lei Ya nodded heavily.
As soon as he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in Yang Ming's ear.
"Hidden mission: recruit the security captain of the gourmet city."
"Mission description: There is a long way to go to establish a gourmet city, but how can a city be without security? In order to maintain the peace of the gourmet city, the host should plan ahead."
"Mission Reward: How to Make a Mapo Tofu"
"The task is complete, and the reward has been issued."
It's still a familiar formula, a familiar taste, a lot of information implanted in Yang Ming's head.
Yang Ming had long been accustomed to this and accepted it with a smile.
When Lei Ya safely carried Lan Wan back on his back, with his cunning mind, he suddenly had a different idea, intending to break the contract and take Lan Wan away.
Perhaps seeing what Lei Ya was thinking, Yang Ming looked at him lightly and said, "Do you want Lan Wan's legs to get better?"
"What?" Lei Ya looked dazed, wondering if he had been hit by an illusion.
He looked at Yang Ming in amazement, as if trying to find a lie from his face.
However, Yang Ming was like a straight pine tree, standing upright, with a light and calm look on his face, unaffected by it at all.
Lei Ya raised his brows, and tentatively asked: "You mean, you can cure Lan Wan's legs?"
"Of course!" Yang Ming affirmed, "Follow me into the shop."
Lei Ya frowned, feeling extremely entangled in his heart, hesitating whether to follow.
Seeing this, I don't want to hate iron or steel: "If you want to come in, just follow, don't dawdle like a bitch!"
"Huh!" Lei Ya snorted coldly, stepped into Yang Ming's shop with hesitation and curiosity.
Yang Ming asked them to find a place to sit first, and then went to the kitchen by themselves.
Lei Ya put Lan Wan on the stool, looked around uneasily, feeling uneasy, "How is he going to treat it?"
Leaning his back against the wall and crossing his hands in front of his chest, he was quite surprised when he heard this, "You don't know about the deeds of Boss Yang Ming? Of course it is treated with delicious food!"
puff!
All of a sudden, Lei Ya's eyes dimmed, and he almost scolded his mother!
Treat with food, what's wrong with you?
Yang Ming, who was wrong in Lei Ya's mind, was currently in the kitchen, preparing to cook a new dish - Mapo Tofu!
Speaking of the origin of the name of this dish, there is actually a rather funny origin.
It is said that back then, there was a beautiful girl with pockmarks on her face, known as Ma Po.
Because the roasted tofu she invented is particularly delicious. The tofu she cooks is red and bright, and the beef is crispy, spicy, spicy, fragrant, crispy, tender, hot, and well-shaped, which is full of Sichuan flavor.
At that time, the tofu cooked by this Mapo was different, and the wonderful thing was that it was cooked by the "burning" method.
On the snow-white and tender tofu, brown-red minced beef and oily green garlic sprouts are dotted, surrounded by a circle of translucent red oil, like amber inlaid with jade, with a unique flavor of hemp, spicy, hot, tender, crisp, fragrant and fresh .
Coupled with her distinctive face, this dish has been called "Ma Po Tofu" over time.
Since then, Mapo Tofu has become an indispensable part of Sichuan cuisine through the efforts of countless generations.
The characteristics of Mapo tofu are hemp, spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, fresh, and alive. It can be said that every word is a pearl, and the essence of Mapo tofu is completely extracted.
Ma: When the tofu is cooked, it should be sprinkled with a proper amount of pepper powder. The pepper should be tribute pepper. , who dares to add tofu again?
Spicy: A special Dahongpao pepper is used to make watercress, finely chopped and cooked, and a small amount of cooked oily sea pepper is added to cook the tofu, which is spicy and fragrant.
Hot: The characteristic of tofu maintains the temperature of the whole dish after it is out of the pot, and it is not easy to cool down. Every time you use chopsticks, you will taste just out of the oven.
Fragrance: It is served immediately after cooking, without the gypsum smell of tofu, the rusty smell of cold-soaked tofu, and the original unpleasant smell of various seasonings, only the aroma that arouses appetite.
Crisp: Refers to the refined beef stuffing, golden in color, red and crisp, one by one, one by one, it is crispy in the mouth, and it melts when it touches the teeth.
Tender: refers to the tofu that is put into the pot, fried for a short time, white as jade in color, corrugated and horny, and broken when twisted, so most of the houses are eaten with a small spoon.
Fresh: Refers to the raw materials of the whole dish, all of which are fresh, tender and emerald green, suitable for red and white, fresh in color and taste, and impeccable.
Life: It is a unique skill of Chen Mapo Tofu Shop: when the tofu is served on the table, garlic sprouts that are inch long stand upright in the bowl, emerald green orchid, and the oil is very bright, as if they have just been picked and chopped from the border, vivid, but The entrance of the folder is all ripe, without any jerky taste.
In the process of making mapo tofu, there are hidden secrets in the selection of materials, and it is not a random choice.
Smell the smell of tofu directly at room temperature, normal tofu has the unique fragrance of tofu.
Inferior quality tofu has a bland aroma.
Inferior tofu has bad smells such as beany smell, rancid smell or other peculiar smells.
High-quality tofu is uniform milky white or light yellow, slightly shiny.
Poor quality tofu is dark to light red in color and dull.
Inferior tofu is dark gray and dark yellow.
The tofu provided by the system is of high quality. Just looking at the appearance, the smooth skin and milky white color, like a mirror, can reflect the appearance of a person. It can be described as a dreamlike tofu!
It can be seen that the tofu provided by the system is relatively tender, instead of using old tofu.
After all, to make Mapo Tofu, it is not good to be too tender, it should be soft and firm, and the cooked Mapo Tofu should be smooth and tender without breaking.
Yang Ming cut the tofu into small square pieces, blanched them in water, and put them out for later use.
Special attention here is that this is not ordinary hot water, but boiling light salt water, so as to remove the astringency in the tofu and keep the tofu tender and not brittle.
To make mapo tofu, of course beef is indispensable.
However, the beef here is very particular, you must choose the tenderloin, and it must be fresh.
Since the fibrous tissue of beef is relatively thick and has a lot of connective tissue, Yang Ming carefully cuts it crosswise with a kitchen knife to cut off the long fibers, and cannot cut along the fibrous tissue.
After the beef was cut, Yang Ming took out a rolling pin and beat the beef to make it soft and tender, otherwise it would not only taste bad, but also chewy.
Afterwards, Yang Ming slashed down.
Knife skill, a hundred birds will pay homage to the phoenix!
Accompanied by the sound of birdsong, ten small birds made of saber air flew out and landed on the soft and tender beef.
After just a while, the whole piece of beef was scattered like building blocks, divided into finger-sized particles.
After the beef was cut into small pieces, Yang Ming put it into a small bowl, poured cooking wine and refined salt and marinated it for 20 minutes.
Mapo tofu is a very famous Sichuan dish, many people can cook it, but few people can achieve the most authentic taste.
Even if there is no problem with the materials you choose, if you make it according to the recipe, most people will still fall into the sand in the end.
No one else, because in the process of making mapo tofu, there is an unknown detail that led to all these tragedies.
That is the garlic seedlings are alive!
As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. I don’t know how many chefs have been unable to cook the most authentic mapo tofu because of this detail.
Yang Ming chopped the onion, ginger and garlic separately, put oil in the hot pan, first put a little onion and ginger in the pan and sauté until fragrant.
Immediately, a puff of cigarettes filled the air, like a volcanic eruption, the strong fragrance was refreshing, making every cell in the body want to groan with joy.
After sautéing, Yang Ming quickly put in the beef cubes and stir-fried until the color changed. By the way, he also added a hawthorn and a piece of orange peel, so that the beef is easy to rot, and it can also chop off the fishy smell of the beef.
Afterwards, Yang Ming added the watercress and half of the pepper powder, and fried the red oil.
When frying the chili sauce, you need to put the oil in the pan with warm oil, and turn the heat to medium to fry, so as not to burn the chili sauce and chili noodles.
Then, Yang Ming added white tofu and stir-fried for 1 minute.
But after a while, the originally white and tender tofu was dyed red by the ingredients inside, like a woman smeared with rouge, looking particularly charming and moving.
At this time, Yang Ming added water, salt, and five-spice powder to stir well, then poured water starch, stir well to thicken the sauce, then poured it into Wanbao Purple Casserole, and stewed it for a while to let Wanbao Purple Casserole play its unique role.
Finally, Yang Ming sprinkled minced garlic, minced green onion, pepper powder, and peppercorns on top of the served tofu, poured a spoonful of hot oil on it and it was ready to be baked.
During the whole process, the time to stir-fry the tofu in the pot is very short, otherwise, if the time is too long, the middle of the tofu will bubble and have cavities, and the tofu will not be soft and tender.
When Yang Ming brought Mapo Tofu to the table, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Many diners were looking forward to it, talking among each other.
"My God, Boss Yang Ming has been so diligent recently, yet he has come up with a new dish."
"Isn't it? Boss Yang Ming seems to be a different person. It's really surprising!"
Yang Ming ignored all the commotion, and smiled kindly at Lan Wan, "Try this dish of mine!"
"This..." Smelling the spicy aroma, Ranwan immediately felt itchy and wanted to eat it.
However, Ran Wan and Yang Ming have not yet established a relationship of trust, so they turned to look at Lei Ya for help.
Lei Ya frowned, and said half-believingly: "Lan Wan, just take a bite and see what effect it has."
"En!" Ranmaru nodded cutely, picked up a spoon, and dug a corner of the red mapo tofu.
"A~"
Ranmaru opened her cute little mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
Immediately, Lan Wan's porcelain-white face seemed to be burnt red, a blush appeared!
The refreshing aroma of pepper, blowing over the tongue like a breeze, is never tasted before, and once tasted, it will never be forgotten!
After just taking a small bite, Lan Wan feels his mouth is full of smoothness. After a while, the strong spicy and spicy sauce comes one after another, and the unique taste of the sauce is unforgettable for a lifetime!
That taste was like a sucker, stimulating Ranmaru's tongue, and the spicy taste that made him salivate strongly shocked Ranmaru's esophagus and stomach wall, making his appetite involuntarily ignited. The delicious taste, blended with the salty and fragrant beef, that taste is simply indescribable, the vitality that was lost due to the heat, all reappeared!
"good to eat!"
"Delicious!"
Ranmaru's eyes lit up, as if there was a rare treasure in front of him, with a pious attitude towards belief, he solemnly picked up the spoon and dug a corner again.
Looking at the reddish-white tofu in the spoon, Ranmaru leaned forward and took a deep breath, as if smelling the scent of datura flowers, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
"Ah, this fragrance is really incomparable!"
As the words fell, Ranmaru gulped it down in one gulp.
But at this time, Ranwan suddenly found that his tongue seemed not as sensitive as before, like a precious sword in its sheath.
What he doesn't know is that this is the Ma of Mapo Tofu!
Gollum!
Seeing Lan Wan eating with relish, Lei Ya has never seen Lan Wan eating so happily, his face is full of happiness.
"Is this really so delicious?"
To be honest, Lei Ya regretted it a bit, he would have eaten it if he had known.
This kind of watching others taste delicious food, but I stare dryly, I feel like watching others show affection, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart!
