162 Fighting with Stink (2 in 1)
Tofu Wu in Fengqi Village is one of the few conscientious merchants in this era.
He started to get busy early in the morning. The brine of stinky tofu consumes the fastest, and his business is good. According to the sales volume of a batch of brine produced in half a year and his stinky tofu, he had to prepare new brine at most three days apart so that he would not be out of stock after half a year.
Stinky tofu is divided into two groups: north and south. The stinky tofu in the south looks like black charcoal heads, but it is not too smelly. If the traditional stinky tofu in the north is washed away from the brine, it looks white and tender, but it can smell three miles in the wind.
Even the way to eat is different. The stinky tofu in the south needs to be fried. After the pot is released, it is added with spicy sauce, coriander minced rice, etc., so basically there is no big smell after it is released. However, the stinky tofu in the north is soaked in fermented stew for at least three days. The emphasis is on the frying, the more smelly it becomes, the more fragrant it becomes. The smelly smelly it is.
Moreover, the stinky tofu from the north can be eaten cold. Diners with strong taste do not even wash the brine on it. They just pour sesame oil, soy sauce, chili oil, and garlic paste and start eating it, but it has a unique flavor.
Tofu Wu is a family-born craft. He is conscientious when doing business. He will not deceive consumers like some unspeakable businesses that use certain "unspeakable things" to pretend to be stinky tofu brine to deceive consumers.
Therefore, his family's business is very good. Every day, wholesalers come to the village to pick up goods. By selling stinky tofu, they built a two-story building in Fengqi Village. Although the smell is so stinking up and downstairs, he often smiles and says to people, what do you know? This is the most fragrant smell in the world!
After the tofu Wu compares fermented black beans, edible alkali, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, salt, white wine, and tofu brain according to the secret recipes passed down, pour in the old brine jars that have been empty.
These old jars are good things he has used for more than ten years. Once the old brine in them is used up, they will be used to ferment new brine immediately. After more than ten years, they are like the best purple clay teapot that has been developed over the years. They are simply treasures and will not sell them no matter how much they pay.
Someone once joked to Tofu Wu, your old braised jar that you have been poured into clean water directly, so you can produce good braised water, right?
Tofu Wu sneered, he didn't dare to be better than the real braised ones, and it was a hundred times better than those things that used "dirt" as braised water!
Every time I mention those black-hearted men who have mothers but no fathers, I am angry. All of these bastards deserve to be struck by lightning! I deserve to be out of nowhere after giving birth!
After a long time of busy work, Wu of Tofu was lying on the rattan chair under the grape trellis. The small table next to him was filled with lotus white and pork head meat. He drank a sip of lotus white, ate a piece of pork head meat, and then took a sip of the smell of stinky tofu floating in the air. This was so beautiful... He couldn't help but hum a country tune that was silly, all of which were brothers and sisters, and he didn't care that he was all in his fifties.
"This old slutty love, how old is, he still sings this..."
Li Xiuchen looked at Zhou Dong behind him, and his face turned red without feeling like hell: "Old Wu, a guest is here. Oh, your smell is so good!"
"It's the village chief. What's wrong with me? This is the standard smell. People in the city like it...who is this little brother?"
Tofu Wu looked at Zhou Dong and felt that the young man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Why, I forgot? Isn't this Xiao Zhou, who made porridge for Grandpa Zhu? Speaking of which, everyone in our village owes them a favor! Your Wu family also received a lot of benefits from the Zhu family back then, right?"
"Oh, I said, it turns out it's Brother Zhou. Look at my brain... Brother Zhou, come two taels?"
Zhou Dong smiled and said, "You are older than my dad, so you should call me Xiao Zhou. Uncle Wu, I have something to ask you for, so I won't drink it."
According to Chu Du's rules, if an elder with a very good relationship with his father and older than his father, he would be called "big". If this is not the case, he would be called an uncle. He has become familiar with Li Xiuchen these days, and Zhou Dong also called him Uncle Li.
Tofu Wu Xiao said, "What's the matter? If you want to eat stinky tofu, how many pounds will you give me!"
"No, I want some stinky tofu brine, and I don't need too much, just a few taels."
When it comes to the serious issue of distinguishing fragrance and smell, humans sometimes can’t tell the difference, and often it’s psychological.
Take stinky tofu as an example. If you hide stinky tofu at the home of a buddy who loves to eat this product and then hide the truth, this buddy will be so disgusting and search for the stinky smell everywhere. But once he knows that it is the smell of stinky tofu, he will feel relieved immediately, and then he will be happy no matter how he smells it, it is so fragrant!
How smelly tofu in the north can smell? It smells so bad that some illegal merchants use "unspeakable dirt" to braise stinky tofu, and diners can even eat it with relish. After looking back, inside information was revealed, but they were disgusting and vomiting sour water.
This kind of smell is definitely similar to the pig's large intestine, but if you give Teacher Guo a large intestine, he will vomit, and if you give him stinky tofu, he will drink two taels of delicious food. There are not many northern men who don't like to eat stinky tofu, let alone people like Lao Guo who are used to the world and have suffered hard life.
What is this not psychological effect?
Zhou Dong also realized this truth by chance.
The large intestine sashimi he made was first changed by garlic, and then used the perfect vegetable washing skill to remove the pickled smell from the large intestine as much as possible. Finally, he also had the best skill to remove the intestinal wall and casing, leaving only the middle intestine meat, and then physically controlled the taste by using the method of ice cooling...
Can the large intestine sashimi be more stinky than the stinky tofu after this treatment? And the stench of the two is so similar, why does Lao Guo react so much to pig intestines?
To put it bluntly, it is a psychological problem.
Zhou Dong came to find stinky tofu braised sauce to fight the stinky, and at the same time, he used the "familiar taste" of stinky tofu to soothe Lao Guo's injured heart.
I am really moved by myself. As a chef, I have started to study people's psychology. Is it easy for me?
"You want my brine?"
Tofu Wu was stunned and looked at Zhou Dong with some vigilance.
The brine of this stinky tofu is a secret recipe passed down by his family. Although the materials used are all high-quality goods, they are actually very particular about the treatment and proportion of various materials.
If it is an ordinary consumer or even a peer selling stinky tofu, he will not care. I believe no one can see through his secret recipe with the finished brine alone; but the young man in front of him is different, and his cooking skills are almost passed down by the villagers.
"Looking at your promising prospects, do you think anyone will think of your secret recipe?"
Li Xiuchen glared at Tofu Wu and said, "Xiao Zhou told me that he was going to use your brine as dipping sauce.
Just have fun secretly. I didn’t expect that your Tofu Wu’s stinky tofu brine will become a sashimi dip sauce? This is an overall improvement in the level of your stinky tofu!”
Tofu Wu was stunned: "It's true or false. I still know the sashimi. That thing is very expensive. Xiao Zhou, what sashimi are you making?"
"It's not expensive, it's just a large intestine sashimi."
"Large intestine sashimi? I really know this, I am also a steel wire. I also heard that Teacher Guo has also come to the mushroom house these two days?
I understand, I understand, Xiao Zhou, your idea is very wonderful, this is called using odor to attack odor.
I'll give you another three pounds of stinky tofu. When you go back and get the dipping sauce, it will be even better to put some mashed stinky tofu in the dish. You can also fry some stinky tofu first, so that this smelly fragrance will be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Xiao Zhou, what do you think of this idea?"
"high!"
Zhou Dong raised his thumbs up to Tofu Wu. Fengqi Village is really talented. If it weren't for Tofu Wu's reminder, he wouldn't have expected that there would be such a trick.
Frying some stinky tofu first is called improving the environment, which is equivalent to giving Lao Guo some psychological hints. This is already a category of psychology, and it is indeed a master among the people!
***
Lao Guo was very desperate, and his pitiful look made Teacher Huang feel a little embarrassed: "Lao Guo, this is not like you, isn't it just a plate of large intestine sting? We would rather vomit to death than be scared to death!"
"Come on less."
What a smart person is Guo Qigang?
What kind of cooking skills is Zhou Dong? Even such a diligent expert has to rely on a "inspiration" to find a way, and he has also found a way to the village. Isn't this just a blind eye? I'm afraid the thing he made back is not as good as the first time!
When I think of this, Lao Guo's stomach is overwhelming. No, Lao Guo cannot suffer the loss before me. If I really can't do it, I can only sacrifice my beloved disciple...
Xiao Yueyue suddenly shivered and saw that the master's gaze was a little strange. He quickly shrank his neck and hid behind Uncle Yu quietly, muttering: "The master can't see me, can't see me..."
"Zhou Xiaochu is back. What is he holding in his hand?"
Zhou Dong's hand was covered with stinky tofu wrapped in opaque oil paper, and the marinade was also sealed in a glass bottle. The celebrities didn't see what it was. He just nodded at everyone and then went into the kitchen.
Not long after, a tempting smell came out of the kitchen, making the eyes of Mr. Guo Jugang and other northern stars lit up: "Stinky tofu!"
As for Teacher He, Cheng Yuqi and others, they rarely eat this northern stinky tofu. At first, they felt that the smell was a little rinsed. However, as the smell in the air became stronger and stronger, they finally got the trouble and found the strange fragrance from the odor on the surface.
The Buddha said: Incense is smelly, stinking is fragrance, Buddha is dog shit, dog shit is Buddha...
“This dipping sauce…”
Lao Guo looked at the crowd who had a lot of fun eating fried stinky tofu and swallowed his saliva secretly. But after thinking about it, he was still ready to follow Zhou Dong's suggestion, first bitter and then sweet, and then pass the large intestine sashimi level before talking about it!
The dipping sauce is much richer than before, not only soy sauce, sesame oil, but also crushed stinky tofu foam and diluted stinky tofu brine...
Not to mention, this familiar smell made his stomach, which was still surging just now, feel a little more appetizing.
I picked up a large intestine and looked at it in the sunshine. Isn’t this very clean?
He is also a chef, so he can naturally tell at a glance that this is a masterpiece of top sword skills.
The inner wall and casing of the pig intestine that has not yet been completely frozen are peeled off, leaving behind the flesh-colored sausage meat. Moreover, each piece of intestine is the size of two thumb covers and the thickness is the same. At least it must be a skill that only a special chef can achieve?
What a good knife skills and what a beautiful sashimi, why didn’t I see it before?
Dipped with brine and stinky tofu, Guo Qigang put a large intestine sashimi into his mouth, and this time he was a little looking forward to it.
With a gentle bite, the smelly smell suddenly filled the mouth, with the smelly tofu foam and brine, and then took a few more mouthfuls of the aroma of fried tofu. Lao Guo suddenly felt that he had found a way!
It's actually a bit delicious!
Why do you say that? The most attractive thing about stinky tofu is actually the smelly smell. If you want to say that the taste is average, can it compare to the intestines carefully taken by Zhou Dong last year?
These intestines have removed the inner wall and casings. They are as thin as cicada wings and are covered with ice. They are really fragrant and have a first-class taste. They creak when they bite, like a top-notch jellyfish head.
Lao Guo has figured it out now. It was just his psychological cause before. He always likes to associate randomly, and almost missed the delicious food!
Now that the smell of stinky tofu is seducing the momentum, the smelly fragrance has become a reality, and it is perfectly integrated with the only slightest smell of the large intestine sashimi. He also corrected his mind and immediately discovered the beauty of the large intestine sashimi.
Miaomiao, Chinese medicine for intestines! The smelly fragrance in the yard is insufficient, only the large intestine is left with its name. The natural ingredients must be useful, and the fragrance will come again after vomiting!
Compared with stinky tofu, this large intestine sashimi has the smell of stinky tofu and has a taste far more than stinky tofu. With a light bite, it creaks and makes it sound, and slowly tastes it, and the smelly smell is full of your mouth!
Moreover, this smelly fragrance has another kind of beauty. There is a slight smell when you first taste it, and it smells like a moment. If you chew a few more bites, it will become more and more fragrant, and finally the fragrance will flow all over your mouth!
Without smell, where does the fragrance come from? Without bitterness, where does the sweetness come from? Without a girl, where does the beauty come from ~ wolf?
To be a qualified diner, you still need to understand some dialectics. Where is the absolute smell in this world?
People who don’t eat durian say that durian smells smelly, while people who love durian can’t help but drool when they smell it.
The same is true for stinky tofu, and even more so for large intestine sashimi.
"Brush!"
Lao Guo's speed is getting faster and faster. If the first large intestine sashimi was hesitant, he was afraid that people would steal his delicious food. In an instant, he ate more than a dozen thin large intestine sashimi. He was still a little unsatisfied and looked at Zhou Dong and said, "Brother, is there any?"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the legendary skill breakthrough mission and obtaining the legendary vegetable washing skills that only the chef god can possess!
At the same time, because the host can break the taste change when completing the task, using odor to attack odor and turn odor into fragrance, he has reached the highest level of "no difference in fragrance and odor". To reward the host, the accompanying skills of the legendary vegetable washing skill are not only legendary, but will be the most practical legendary skill.
Although this skill has nothing to do with cooking skills, it is closely related to food. I hope the host can use it well..."
Programs are programs, with no qualities at all. What does it mean to be "not distinguishing between fragrance and smell"? Are you scolding or praising people?
Zhou Dong said angrily: "Can you not be so verbose? What is this accompanying skill?"
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the legendary winemaking skills at the same time..."
“Winemaking?”
Zhou Dong was delighted. My father didn't like anything else in his life, but he just liked to drink a few drinks. However, now there are a lot of fake wine on the market, and slightly better grain wine will cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan a bottle.
My father obviously didn't short of money, but he just couldn't bear to buy these good wines. He bought a bottle of Wuliangye for his father a few days ago, and was complained that he couldn't live, so he forced him to leave.
If you master the winemaking skills, will it be a problem to make some good wine for your dad to make money?
