Chapter 010 The era of bureaucracy rampant
After cooking soy milk, adding gypsum, and mixing evenly, the soy milk like milk solidifies into a jelly-like object. Under the crystal clear appearance, it emits the purest fragrance of soybeans.
Gudong!
Bai Gui felt tired and stupid, and was very unpromising. The saliva in her throat seemed to be flooded. Isn’t it just that she looked better and smelled a little more fragrant, and her stomach was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back?
Bian Zibai gently stroked the scoop in his hand, and the dark pottery bowl was filled with tofu brains that were shaking like frozen meat. He took a deep breath at the edge of the bowl, and his whole body exuded a feeling of satisfaction, infecting the people around him.
Bai Gui swallowed a big saliva hard, almost choking herself, and asked with difficulty: "Xiaobai, can this be eaten?"
How rare? Why can’t he eat so much?
Sprinkle with chopped green onion and a little grated salt, and it is a pity in my heart that without shrimp skin and seaweed, I lose the inner part of the tofu brain. Without spicy oil, it will be a tofu brain without soul. Without soy sauce, I can only order a little vinegar for seasoning, which is the vinegar of this era, without the aroma of old vinegar, and only the sourness that stimulates the taste buds.
"This is too luxurious, too much." Bai Gui muttered around. He felt that using vinegar is really a waste. Beans are not foods that are not as good as poor people, but also animals, and they are mainly fed horses. In his opinion, food made from vinegar is not worthy of such high-end condiments as eugen. Vinegar can only be used when eating vinegar. Of course, what is even more embarrassing is that Bai Gui has never eaten vinegar. Only the most wise kitchen can make vinegar. Confucius said: "Eat fine and crustful." It refers to vinegar, a kind of meat cut from fish or other meats. Later generations can also reflect this delicious dish, such as sashimi, or raw beef. After simple processing, it is called sashimi.
Bian Zibai used a spoon to cut a piece of tofu brain, but it was not broken. It trembled up and down as the spoon was cut out. He put it on his lips and sucked it gently. The tofu brain in the spoon disappeared. The mouth was mixed with the heat of the newly prepared tofu brain, the sour taste of the ginger, the purest bean fragrance, and the spicy taste. He frowned and swallowed the tofu brain along his throat.
The expression was very worthy of beating, as if he had eaten a dark food.
But for him, that's true.
Put down the spoon and sighed, "The taste is not right."
Although he had a delicious meal, his expression was not as fascinated as enjoyment, but it was not too exaggerated. However, it was obviously a very delicious thing, but what Bian Zibai said was worthless. This made Bai Gui, who had not eaten a bite, feel anxious and bullied. Especially Lu Ji, who was next to him, took a bowl of it and sucked it like an animal symbolized as wealth.
What made Bai Gui even more angry was that he knew about the food he had done for nearly a month, including rice and wild vegetables, and he had never enjoyed the greasiness of big fish and big meat.
But what he said makes people feel that this man was vomiting all the delicacies of the mountains and the seafood, and the unsophisticated food made him unable to bear it even if he smelled it. He is the master of eating small rice, so why are he pretending to be noble?
"It's delicious! Suck it-"
Lu Ji squinted her eyes with satisfaction, looking at her enjoyment, but her hands didn't stop at all.
"You try it too."
Bai Gui almost burst into tears. He finally ate the tofu brain made of soy milk he ground. He carefully put a small bowl from the wooden barrel. He imitated the white side, twisted a small pinch of chopped chopped green onion, added salt, and sprinkled it on the tofu brain. The color in the bowl immediately became fresh. After adding vinegar, the sour smell stimulated people to continuously secrete saliva. At this time, Bai Gui didn't even dare to open his mouth, fearing that saliva would pour down like a dam that broke the dam.
Um-
The hot, like all freshly cooked food, is wrapped in the food, making the mouth feel a beating restlessness.
But Bai Gui knew that this kind of hot is different. It has never been smooth before and can swallow without chewing. Even when he had no consciousness to swallow, the food had already entered the esophagus and the stomach, which made people full of strength.
The bean smell of beans is peeled off, leaving a full bean aroma.
Not to mention the seasoning, even if there is only the tofu brain like white jade, Bai Gui believes that the business in the wine shop will be so good that the king will be jealous.
Seeing that Bai Gui had only eaten a small bowl and put it down, Bian Zibai thought he had discovered the problem, so he leaned closer and said, "Did you eat it too? The taste lacks a unique umami flavor, and a spicy flavor that makes the body happy..."
Bian Zibai said a lot without hesitation, and Bai Gui stared at Bian Zibai like a fool, feeling very messy. This is a delicious food only in heaven. Why is Xiaobai still not satisfied?
Could it be that he was really a natural aristocrat, just as he was told on the street, but he was in trouble? Bai Gui's mind quickly rotated, and then movedly put the Wei State's palace into it, his eyes suddenly became clear and he was clear. The nephew killed his uncle and his younger brother killed his brother, and the youngest son who had not taken office in Wei State had to choose to go into exile.
The plot is very bloody, Bai Gui's face turned dim for a while, and he said heavy: "I understand."
What do you understand? Bian Zibai didn't think much about it. Although he was a modern person, he could not feel the joy and harmony of family care at a very young age, but after all, living in a new era, a stable life is an era where you will be willing to give and get rewards. Unlike the Warring States Period, the Qianshou had no chance to turn around. Classes, there is any era.
Some eras have been weakened or the attention is not obvious. However, in some eras, the class is a gap that cannot be crossed. Unconsciously, Bai Gui lowered his identity, and he felt the wall, the wall that exists all the time, but cannot see or touch it.
After eating the third bowl of tofu brain, Lu Ji burped and felt that everything in front of her was very interesting. A boy of unknown origin always had wonderful ideas. Of course, there were more dirty things in his little head. Well, Lu Ji thought it would be good to make money anyway. If she could sleep on a small cloth, medium cloth, and large cloth, she would dream of sweetness. If she had to have higher requirements, then it would be a golden cake.
When doing business, you must first determine the customer base of the business. The taste is good when you make the tofu brain. Bianzibai is confident that it will make the taste more pure. The only thing you need to consider is the pricing, which is more appropriate to sell for a bowl.
Beans are an unpopular food. They bloated and farted when eaten too much.
Not to mention women, even men don’t think this is a delicious food. There is no meat or fish to cook beans. Is it better to cook beans? Pig trotters, big bones, and even bacon and ham are the perfect matches for beans. These are the directions that can be developed in the future. It is not difficult anyway. What Zibai needs to prepare now is to let the wine shop open and make a shot in Diqiu City after it is newly opened.
"How much does this tofu brain cost per bowl is more appropriate?"
"Why not a big cloth?"
Bai Gui felt that she made sense, but she was greeted with Bian Zibai's gaze: "You want the restaurant to close again, right?"
"There is no such thing, absolutely no such thing. Tofu brain is delicious and is a delicacy that ordinary people do not deserve to eat at all. But if the young man has a secret recipe, he naturally has to raise the price to show the transcendent status of tofu brain... The high price is naturally to show the nobleness of its secret recipe." Bai Gui said a lot, meaning that eating tofu brain is superior to others in the sky.
"Isn't it just a tofu brain? You're still feeling superior?" Bian Zibai felt that Bai Gui was not very smart, so he turned his head to look at Lu Ji: "Sister Man, this tofu brain is just an ordinary diet. The raw materials are very cheap. I'm afraid the price is too high, which will discourage customers. You used to run a restaurant, so the price of the restaurants that buy food in Chaoge City is naturally clear. Why don't you say it?"
"This white, creamy food is called tofu brain! It's quite unique." Lu Ji frowned slightly. Tofu made her feel helpless, but it would be different with a 'brain', and she felt a little disgusting. But in terms of taste, both taste and taste are first-class delicious. Compared with the rough food processing methods of this era, it is simply in the sky and in the ground, and it is not the same as: "If ordinary people eat, they can eat breakfast, or a small cloth can be satisfied. However, food can only be full; if they are more refined, they need a medium cloth; if they have better, there will be no restaurants in Diqiu City, and doctors and ministers will not come to the streets to eat with ordinary people. This is related to etiquette."
Lu Ji thought about it and ate a tofu brain that had eaten a lot of tofu brain. Her stomach was swaying violently, and she felt a little unsure: "But Xiaobai, I'm afraid I won't be full if I just eat tofu brain!"
"Sister Man is really aware of this. It is indeed a big mistake tofu brain without sesame cakes. Of course, there are rice cakes and fried dough sticks. As long as we can think of, take out all the rice cakes and fried dough sticks, and then the wine shop will open." Bian Zibai has an invincible state where everything is in control. With this combination, if you can't beat the restaurants in the city, you might just hit the head and die. What foods are sold in the restaurants in the city? Pickled pickles, rice, pickles are still sour, and may have a little smell. It's hard to swallow like this, let alone delicious.
"Okay, I have plans in my mind. At that time, the price will be five small cloth for ordinary packages and one medium cloth for luxury packages."
"In this case, the wine shop can't use the wine shop's orders, and we should use the restaurant's orders instead?"
"If you want to change it to a restaurant, the original wine orders in the restaurant cannot be used. However, the wine orders can be sold and you can still get a considerable amount of money." Lu Ji said in a difficult situation: "The restaurants still need the food orders issued by the government."
Bian Zibai wailed: "Is it natural to open a breakfast shop and go to the government to apply for a license?"
For Bian Zibai, who is full of strange words, at least the frequent visitor of Lu Ji’s wine shop is no longer surprised. Although Bai Gui does not have the money to drink and enjoy, he supplies some dried fruits from the wine shop, and is one of the most familiar people. But Bai Gui on the side nodded as if it were natural and agreed: "This is a good thing. The city guard needs to know the number of Chinese people in the city. Different Chinese people pay different taxes, and the same is true for merchants. Naturally, they have to go to apply for the order. Xiaolang, this is for your own good!"
