Naruto: Big Foodie

(this is two chapters combined)

"boss!"

Going back to Yang Ming's shop, he put the Lan Wan in his hand on the ground, "This is that guy's partner, maybe we can use him."

"What do you want to do to Lei Ya!" Although Ranmaru looked like a little Zhengtai, when it came to Lei Ya's safety, she showed an extremely firm look, "I won't let you hurt Lei Ya!"

Seeing Lan Wan struggling to prop up her upper body on the ground, Yang Ming was stunned, "Your legs..."

"It's up to you!" Lan Wan turned her head in disdain and snorted coldly.

At this time, Lei Ya was anxious about Lan Wan's safety, and without taking into account the endurance of his legs, he used lightning to stimulate his leg muscles again, and rushed to Yang Ming's shop at a very fast speed.

Seeing Ranmaru unscathed, Lei Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he stared at Yang Ming vigilantly and roared, "You put Lan Wan for me!"

"Oh?" The corner of Yang Ming's mouth curled up, showing 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 the beheading sword was faintly facing Lan Wan's head, he suddenly became anxious.

"How do you want to let go of Lan Wan?"

The extremely proud Lei Ya lowered his head. For the safety of Ranmaru, this was the first time he had begged someone so humbly.

Seeing this, Yang Ming didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He was in a good mood 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 was prepared to be slaughtered before, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Security captain?

Then do it!

Compared to Ranmaru's safety, even if he wanted Lei Ya's life, he was willing to do so!

"Okay! I promise you!" Lei Ya nodded heavily.

As soon as he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded beside Yang Ming's ear.

"Hidden mission: Recruit security captains in the food capital."

"Mission description: The establishment of a food capital is a long way to go, but how can a city lack security? In order to maintain the peace of the food capital, the host should plan ahead."

"Quest Reward: How to Make a Mapo Tofu"

"The task is completed, and the reward has been issued."

It was still a familiar formula, a familiar taste, and a lot of information was implanted in Yang Ming's head.

In this regard, Yang Ming has long been accustomed to it, and all smiles.

When Lei Ya safely carried Lan Wan back on his back, with his cunning nature, 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 confused, wondering if he had fallen into an illusion.

He looked at Yang Ming in disbelief, as if trying to find a lie from his face.

However, Yang Ming stood upright like a straight pine tree, with a light expression on his face, unaffected by it in the slightest.

Lei Ya raised his brows and probed cautiously, "You mean, can you heal Lan Wan's legs?"

"Of course!" Yang Ming affirmed, "Come with me into the store."

Lei Ya frowned, feeling extremely entangled in his heart, hesitating whether to follow.

Seeing this, he said, "If you want to come in, just follow, don't dawdle like a bitch!"

"Humph!" In response, Lei Ya snorted coldly and stepped into Yang Ming's store with three-point hesitation and seven-point curiosity.

Yang Ming asked them to find a place to sit first and go to the kitchen by himself.

Lei Ya put Lan Wan on the stool, looked around anxiously, and said, "How on earth will he be treated?"

With his back against the wall and his arms around his chest, he was quite surprised to hear this, "You don't know about Boss Yang Ming's deeds? Of course it's treated with delicious cooking!"

puff!

Suddenly, Lei Ya fainted in front of his eyes, and almost scolded his mother!

Treating with food, what's wrong with you?

Yang Ming, who has something wrong in Lei Ya's mind, is in the kitchen at this time, preparing to cook his new dish - Mapo Tofu!

Speaking of the origin of the name of this dish, there is actually a rather amusing origin.

It is said that back then, there was a beautiful girl with pockmarks on her face, known as Mapo.

Because the roasted tofu she invented is particularly delicious, the tofu she cooks is red and bright, the beef is crispy and fragrant, numb, spicy, fragrant, crisp, tender, hot, and shaped, which is very rich in Sichuan flavor.

At that time, the tofu cooked by this Mapo was different, and the wonderful thing was that it was cooked in the "burning" method.

The snow-white and tender tofu is adorned with brown-red minced beef and oily green garlic sprouts, and a ring of translucent red oil, such as jade inlaid with amber, has a unique flavor of hemp, spicy, hot, tender, crisp, fragrant and fresh. .

In addition, her face looks so distinctive, over time, this dish is called "Mapo Tofu".

Since then, Mapo Tofu has become an indispensable part of Sichuan cuisine after countless generations of hard work and research.

The characteristics of Mapo tofu are numb, spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, fresh, and lively.

Ma: When the tofu is in the pot, sprinkle an appropriate amount of prickly ash, and the prickly ash should use tribute pepper. , Who dares to add tofu?

Spicy: A special Dahongpao oil pepper is used to make watercress, finely chopped and cooked, and a small amount of cooked oil 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.

Fragrance: It means that the pot is served immediately, and there is no smell of gypsum tofu, the rust smell of cold-soaked tofu, the original unpleasant smell of various seasonings, and only the aroma that evokes appetite.

Crisp: Refers to the refined beef stuffing, the color is golden, the red crisp is not firm, one by one, one by one, the entrance is crispy, and the teeth are melted.

Tender: It refers to the tofu that is put into the pot and fried for a short time. The color is as white as jade, with ridges and horns, and it will be broken when twisted. Therefore, most of the houses are scooped with a small spoon.

Fresh: Refers to the raw materials of the whole dish, all fresh, tender and green, suitable for red and white, fresh in color and taste, impeccable.

Live: It is a stunt of the Chen Mapo Tofu Shop: when tofu is served, the garlic sprouts are standing upright in the bowl. At the entrance of the folder, all of them are fully cooked and have no jerky taste.

In the process of making Mapo Tofu, it is just a choice of materials, and there are hidden secrets inside, not just a random choice.

Smell the smell of tofu directly at room temperature, normal tofu has a unique aroma of tofu.

Low-quality tofu has a bland aroma.

Inferior tofu has a bad smell such as beany and rancidity or other peculiar smells.

High-quality tofu is uniformly milky white or light yellow with a slight sheen.

Poor quality tofu is dark to light red 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 are like a mirror, which can reflect the appearance of a person. It can be said to be a dreamy tofu!

It can be seen that the tofu provided by the system is relatively tender, rather than using old tofu.

After all, when making Mapo tofu, it is not good if it is too tender. It is good to have moderate hardness and softness. The best way to cook Mapo tofu is to be smooth and tender but not broken.

Yang Ming cut the tofu into square pieces, blanched them in water, and set them aside for later use.

Special attention here is that this is not ordinary hot water, but boiling salt water, so as to remove the astringency in the tofu, keep the tofu tender and not easy to break.

To make Mapo Tofu, of course, beef is indispensable.

However, the beef here is very elegant, you must choose the tenderloin, and it must be fresh.

Because the fibrous tissue of beef is thick and there are many connective tissues, Yang Ming took a kitchen knife and carefully cross-cut it to cut off the long fibers, not along the fibrous tissue.

After cutting the beef, Yang Ming took out a rolling pin and pounded the beef until it was soft and tender.

Then, Yang Ming fell with a knife.

Swordsmanship skills, a hundred birds toward the phoenix!

With the sound of birdsong, ten small birds composed of knife energy flew out and landed on the tender beef.

After just a while, the whole piece of beef was scattered like building blocks and divided into finger-sized particles.

After the beef was cut into small pieces, Yang Ming put it into a small bowl, then poured cooking wine and refined salt and marinated for 20 minutes.

Mapo tofu is a very famous Sichuan dish, many people will cook it, but few people can achieve the most authentic taste.

Even if there is no problem with the materials you choose, if you follow the recipe, most people will still end up smashed into the sand.

Without him, because in the process of making Mapo Tofu, there is an unknown detail that led to all this tragedy.

That's the life of garlic sprouts!

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. Over the years, I don’t know how many chefs. Because of this detail, there is no way to cook the most authentic Mapo tofu.

Yang Ming chopped the onion, ginger, and garlic separately, heated the wok with oil, and first put a little onion, **** and soy sauce in the wok to sauté until fragrant.

Suddenly, a cigarette filled the air, like a volcanic eruption.

After sauteing, Yang Ming quickly added beef diced and fry it until it changed color. By the way, he added a hawthorn and a piece of orange peel, so that the beef was easily rotten, and it could also chop off the fishy smell of the beef.

Afterwards, Yang Ming added Douban and half of the sesame pepper powder, and fry the red oil.

When frying the chili sauce, you need to warm the oil and stir fry on a medium heat, so that the chili sauce and chili noodles will not be fried.

Next, Yang Ming put in the white tofu and stir fry for a minute.

But after a while, the white and tender tofu was dyed red by the ingredients inside, like a woman smeared with rouge, and it looked particularly charming and moving.

At this time, Yang Ming added water, salt and five-spice powder into it, stir well, then poured in water starch, stir well and thicken, then poured it into the Wanbaozi casserole, and simmered for a while, so that the Wanbaozi casserole could play its unique role.

Finally, Yang Ming sprinkled minced garlic, minced green onion, sesame pepper powder, and sesame pepper grains on top of the tofu, and poured a spoonful of hot oil into the oven.

During the whole process, the tofu stir-frying time in the pot is very short, otherwise, after a long time, there will be bubbles in the middle of the tofu, 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, and there were many discussions among them.

"My God, Boss Yang Ming has been so diligent lately that he has come up with new dishes."

"That's right, it's as if Boss Yang Ming has changed. It's really surprising!"

Yang Ming ignored the numerous disturbances and smiled kindly at Lan Wan, "Try this dish of mine!"

"This..." Smelling the spicy fragrance, Lan Wan suddenly felt an itch in her heart and wanted to eat it.

However, Lan Wan and Yang Ming have not yet established a relationship of trust, so they turned to look at Lei Ya as if asking for help.

Lei Ya frowned, and said dubiously, "Lan Wan, just take a bite and see what effect it has."

"Yeah!" Lan Maru nodded cutely, picked up a spoon, and dug a corner of the red Mapo tofu.

"Ah~"

Ranmaru opened her cute little mouth and swallowed it.

For a moment, Lan Wan Cibai's little face seemed to be burnt red, and a blush appeared!

The fresh aroma of pepper, blowing off the tongue like a breeze, is a taste that has never been eaten before and will never be forgotten once you have eaten it!

After just taking a small bite, Lan Wan felt that the mouth was full of smoothness. After a while, the strong and spicy sauce followed, and the unique taste of the sauce was unforgettable for a lifetime!

The smell was like a sucker, irritating Lan Wan's tongue, the spicy taste that made his saliva flow, strongly shocked Lan Wan's esophagus and stomach wall, and made his appetite ignite involuntarily. The taste of the meat is combined with the salty and fragrant beef. The taste is simply an indescribable mystery. The vitality that was lost due to the heat has all reappeared!

"good to eat!"

"Delicious!"

Lan Wan's eyes lit up, as if there were rare treasures in front of her, with a pious attitude towards her faith, she solemnly picked up the spoon and dug out a corner again.

Looking at the white and red tofu in the spoon, Ranmaru leaned up~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and took a deep breath, as if smelling the fragrance of mandala flowers, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face. expression.

"Ah, this scent is really unparalleled!"

As the words fell, Ranmaru swallowed it down.

At this time, Lan Maru suddenly found that his tongue did not seem to be as sensitive as before, as if a treasured sword was sheathed.

What he didn't know was that this was the hemp of Mapo Tofu!

Gollum!

Watching Lan Wan eat with relish, Lei Ya has never seen that Lan Wan eats so happily, her face is full of happiness.

"Is it really that delicious?"

To be honest, Lei Ya regretted it a little, knowing that he would eat it too.

This kind of watching others taste the food, but staring at me, I feel like watching others show affection, and my heart is particularly uncomfortable!
