Chapter 57 BBQ, Ice Powder and Stinky Tofu
(After writing this book, I want to bow to you three ninety degrees deeply. The content of this book is too heavy, and the author may not be able to control it, so he integrated it and wanted to open a new book and continue making dark cuisine. He is currently in the process of saving...)
Chapter 57: Barbecue, ice powder and stinky tofu
Li Zhi pointed to the food on the grill sideways and said, "Then you come and try it, but be careful of the oil splashing on your body..."
Sister Gao Yang questioned for a few seconds, and then took the brush from Li Zhi's hand.
"Just keep brushing?" Sister Gao Yang dipped some soy sauce and applied it to the chicken wings and chicken legs.
A 'Thorn'
The sauce dripped along the meat onto the charcoal fire, and a thick smoke blew up to Sister Gao Yang's face.
"Ahem, ahem... I can't get this thing, Your Majesty, I'll give it to you!"
Sister Gao Yang stuffed the brush to Li Zhi. She wanted to turn around and sit down. When she saw her brother-in-law, she gritted her teeth and stood there without leaving.
Li Zhi was very confused about how much resentment this was because of this.
At this time, the imperial garden was filled with smelly smoke. Fortunately, it was in the palace, in my own home, and other bedrooms also knew about the party tonight.
Otherwise, it would really make people seriously doubt whether the fires were on the palace repeatedly, and whether the pillars burned were made of inferior materials, which would emit some strange smells.
Li Zhi, who was barbecue, still felt very regretful, but unfortunately the Turtle Poria jelly was in the daytime.
Thinking of Turtle Pill Oxygen Removal, he suddenly had a new idea in his mind.
So he quickly called Zhao Si: "Does there be 'sour pulp' in the palace?"
"Sour slurry?"
Zhao Si's confused expression had already told Li Zhi that he had no idea what the hell was. But Zhao Si was so smart that he didn't know, so he hurried to go to popular science and finally found this thing from the Imperial Medical Office.
During the day, he asked for turtle shells and some herbs, and at night he wanted sour sauce. People from the Imperial Medical Office went crazy. Has this emperor been crazy recently? Why do he always make these strange things?
This acid pulp is an annual erect herb, with 5 deep-cleaved calyxes, lobes, sharp apex, heart-shaped arrow-shaped at the base, corolla-shaped bell-shaped, light blue, berries spherical, yellow. The seeds are hazel brown, and bloom and bear fruit in summer and autumn.
It grows in the north and south of my country, especially in the southwest, northwest and Hebei.
This thing is useful throughout the body, with the effects of calming, eliminating phlegm, clearing heat and detoxifying.
As for why Li Zhi knew this, he couldn't say it.
If there is so much that I can't understand, then Li Zhi can explain it in a popular way that he wants to make hot pot barbecue with the soul food—ice powder.
It is the ice noodles that you must order when you go to various authentic Sichuan flavors and Chongqing hotpot restaurants.
This is the most common dish of southwestern jelly. It is often sold in roadside stalls in summer. When it comes, it is rarely touched in the south. Take time to make one dish to satisfy your cravings.
Ice powder is made of something called ice powder seeds. Ice powder seeds are seeds of a plant called pseudo acid pulp.
It is slightly smaller than sesame seeds. When making ice powder, wrap the ice powder seeds with gauze and rub them in clean water. Rub the juice into the water and wait until it solidifies. When eating, put some ice powder in a bowl, pour brown sugar water and sesame seeds, peanut kernels, etc. and you can eat it. The crystal clear ice powder tastes smooth and sweet like jelly.
How come this soul delicacy is missing in the Royal Garden dinner tonight?
So, Li Zhi called Zhao Si again and told him the production method in great detail. He also specifically reminded him to follow the steps he said, and not to take a step less.
Although it is simple, if there is a deviation in the solidification time or the seeds of the sour slurry, it is very likely that there will be nothing in the end, just a pool of stagnant water in the basin.
He ordered Zhao Si, and he answered happily and left.
Sister Gao Yang was very curious. When she came to the palace, she heard the eunuchs say that he had made turtle jelly at noon.
I haven't seen this so-called turtle jelly now. I guess I have failed. But now her younger brother is fiddling with other things. Since last eaten stinky tofu in Tai Chi Hall, Sister Gao Yang is not opposed to Li Zhi's strange things.
Instead, I support him very much because I am curious.
This has led to Li Zhi getting very close to Gao Yang's sister in recent days, because once his elder sister supports him, the road is much easier.
It's a bit scary to think about it. One is the emperor who behaves strangely, and the other is the tricky and willful princess.
If Li Shimin had spirits in heaven, he would definitely go wild: my Tang Dynasty cannot perish, and I can't continue to struggle like this.
The Shufei and Fang brother-in-law were shocked when they saw that the relationship between Li Zhi and Gao Yang's sister suddenly improved. They agreed to rebel, but why did you trick us into the gang but run away!
Sister Gao Yang ignored them and suddenly spoke to Li Zhi, "Your Majesty, why didn't the tofu you roast that day be roasted again today?"
When Li Zhi heard this, he felt secretly happy, and he didn't expect that this emperor sister was also a heavy-tasting person.
"I'm afraid I won't get used to it. Since the emperor thinks it's delicious, I'll just send a palace maid to get some, and there's more!"
After Li Zhi finished speaking, he called a little palace maid and asked her to go to the kitchen to bring all the remaining stinky tofu.
At this time, Concubine Xiao finally couldn't sit still. Who would have nothing to do and would like to chat with her brother-in-law there? What's there to talk about?
Seeing her coming, she said with a flamboyant expression: "Stinky tofu? Is it the smelly tofu that Your Majesty roasted in Tai Chi Hall a few days ago?"
"this..."
Li Zhi just spoke, but his words were taken by Sister Gao Yang: "What a stinky smell? If you feel that the stinky smell is, don't eat it!"
"I'm just talking!"
Concubine Shu looked at Li Zhi with grievance.
Sister Gao Yang was angry and expected when she heard this. Li Zhi from the new century belongs to the kind of person who is more concerned. Anyway, just say it. As long as it is not a matter of principle, it doesn’t matter.
Sister Gao Yang is not good. She was influenced by noble ideological education since she was a child. She compared a food to a stinking smell. She still ate so happily. Isn’t this an insult to her personality?
I believe that beggars will not eat stinky food until they are absolutely necessary.
Seeing that the atmosphere became awkward again, Li Zhi hurriedly opened the topic: "Where is the palace maid who went to get the stinky tofu? Why haven't you come here for so long!"
In fact, it took only a minute to leave. Even if you open a portal, it would take one or two seconds to cast the spell, let alone walking with both feet.
The little eunuch around him heard this and was so scared that he quickly said to find the person.
In fact, I only waited for about ten minutes and brought the stinky tofu.
It was still the same as last time, wrapped in gauze, but when it was opened today, it instantly felt like a fly floating on its head.
Because the weather was too hot, I had been covered for several days. Not only did the tofu grow hair, but it became sticky.
As soon as I opened it, the smell of smoked eyes immediately floated out.
After smelling it, Concubine Xiao immediately ran to the side and retching. Sister Gao Yang was better, and could hold on a little, and even glanced at Concubine Shu and said that she had never seen the world.
But less than a minute after the words were spoken, Sister Gao Yang also ran to the side and retching.
Li Zhi approached and smelled it. The smell was indeed frightening. The palace maids and eunuchs next to him were actually very disgusted, and they dared not say that the brother-in-law on the other side seemed to be calm in his actions.
When Li Zhi disassembled the tofu and opened it to the barbecue grill and baked...
‘Sir…sir…’
