Ye Gui finished eating the donkey meat and left the shop.
"It's delicious. The smell of the donkey meat burning is still lingering in my mouth. It's unforgettable!"
"As I ate it, the slightly spicy taste gradually turned into a milky flavor. The aroma was rich and full of flavor. It was really amazing!"
Ye Gui gave a thumbs up and praised again.
He looked back at the store name and said, "This store is good, you can come and try it!"
“In Hebei Province, in addition to donkey meat roasting, there are many famous dishes. Let’s try them later!”
After eating the donkey meat, Ye Gui felt his stomach felt much better.
This feeling of warmth is what winter should feel like.
After a while, Ye Gui felt cold.
"Okay, we have to keep eating!"
Ye Gui looked around and found another store.
This shop seems to be a mom-and-pop shop, it looks warm and gives people a very comfortable feeling.
"Then this is it!"
Entering the store, the warm heater makes people feel a little hot.
Ye Gui took off his coat and found a small chair to sit on.
"Sir, what can I have something to eat?"
Hey, this is the first time a boss calls Ye Gui sir.
Ye Gui was a little funny, but he still responded and asked: "Do you have any recommended dishes here?"
"Our family only has small dishes. The Governor's Tofu is quite good, and the golden lion fish is also very popular. I think you can only eat two by yourself. If you want to eat a slightly larger one like the elbow,
For food, I suggest you go to a big hotel!”
The boss is a real person. After all, it takes a lot of time and energy to make elbows well.
The key is that it may not be possible yet, so there is no need.
On the other hand, preparing some home-cooked side dishes can also attract customers.
What a small family store seeks is not wealth, but stability.
"Okay, here are these two dishes!"
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
Ye Gui waited for a while and found that many of the people who came to this restaurant to eat were three people with their families.
When couples and their children don't feel like cooking anymore, they come over for a meal.
This is also very good.
Ye Guishun took a look at the price. A portion of golden lion fish was slightly more expensive, costing 49 yuan.
Governor's Tofu is a home-cooked dish, priced at 17 yuan a serving.
The price is reasonable, just wait for the taste.
"Everyone knows that this Governor Tofu is related to a certain Governor!"
"I know Li Hongzhang, the governor of the Qing Dynasty!"
Ye Gui said: "Yes, Li Hongzhang was the Zhili governor with the most honors and appointments among the 74 Zhili governors in the Qing Dynasty. He was known as the 'Eight Realities and Eight Defects'. He paid attention to diet and nutrition."
"Once, the official chef used traditional cooking techniques to make a home-style tofu. Li Hongzhang was not satisfied after tasting it. Later, the official chef added shrimp seeds, scallops and other ingredients to cook it again, and invited the governor to taste it. Li Hongzhang was very satisfied.
After that, it became a dish often eaten by Li Hongzhang. Later generations named this dish 'Governor's Tofu'."
“This dish is also a representative of official cuisine!”
"Actually, it also adds a lot of side dishes to the home-cooked tofu we often eat, and it tastes very healthy!"
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the boss brought out the first dish, Governor's Tofu.
There was also a strong smell of oil on his body.
I think I got it while preparing the lionfish in a separate pot while the tofu was stewing.
Because in addition to the oil smell, there are also a lot of fish scales.
"Your tofu is ready, and the lionfish will be served in about 5 minutes!"
The boss said something to Ye Gui and then said something to the other waiting customers.
"This guest came first, so please wait a moment!"
He also handed over a cigarette, and the young husband smiled and said: "It's okay, we are all old customers. I know your rules, thank you!"
He was going to take the cigarette, but his wife immediately slapped his hand and glared.
The man sneered, not daring to say anything more, and pushed the cigarette back.
The boss also smiled and entered the kitchen.
Ye Gui looked at the golden tofu, and the little bits of chopped green onion and celery on it were simply intoxicating.
Adding a bite of tofu directly, Ye Gui noticed that there was still a little bit of minced meat on top of the tofu.
Interestingly, the recipe of Sichuan Mapo Tofu is incorporated into the original Governor's Tofu.
Don’t think that Mapo Tofu is just a spicy and spicy dish.
In fact, there is another trick to making this dish well, and that is minced meat.
After making the minced meat, the common way people do it is to pour all the minced meat in and stir-fry, then add tofu to stew, and finally thicken with water starch.
But actually the minced meat should be added in two steps.
The first step is to stir-fry the bean paste, add minced meat, stir-fry, and stew.
The second step is to sprinkle in the final minced meat when it is about to come out of the pan.
In this way, the minced meat is sandwiched between the tofu and it looks better.
The boss was the same at this moment. In addition to scallops and pine nuts, he also added a lot of beef cubes.
The texture of beef cubes can complement the melt-in-your-mouth texture of tofu and also add flavor.
If this is the case, 17 yuan for a serving of Governor's Tofu seems much more reasonable.
This tofu is so tender that it still trembles when picked up with chopsticks.
He seemed a little afraid of being eaten.
The tofu is fried once first, so it has a golden coating on the outside.
It looks similar to the Golden Saint.
Then scallops, shrimp roe, beef and a lot of minced garlic are all on top.
Take a big gulp and swallow all the main dishes and side dishes.
The tofu melts in your mouth, and the light seafood flavor of scallops and shrimp roe makes the tofu taste salty and fragrant.
“It’s delicious!”
"The taste of this Governor's Tofu is simply great. The tofu melts in your mouth, and the various ingredients are like frosting that rubs your teeth little by little, making the taste even better!"
“And the taste is very rich, fragrant and delicious!”
"The base ingredients of the soup are also well prepared. When it is about to come out of the pot, I pour a ring of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. However, when stewing, I do not use pure water directly, but use a little white wine and stock!"
"White wine can remove the gypsum taste from tofu and also enhance the flavor!"
"Not to mention the soup stock, just drink it directly!"
"The soup stewed with stock has a rich flavor, and the sauce effect is particularly good!"
"good!"
Ye Gui took several bites of tofu.
It's said to be five minutes, but it's really five minutes.
The boss brought up the golden lion carp.
Ye Gui noticed that there were still many thick calluses on his fingers.
Moreover, the appearance and color of this golden lionfish are very authentic.
"Who are you, Yuan Qingfang, the master of Hebei cuisine?"
