Wen Niang and the others were busy counting the harvest and labor on the farm and arranging the farm work for the coming year. Fu Bao was waiting for her konjac powder.
This thing has been in the sun for a few days, and when it dries, it turns gray and white in color, looking like gray soil that is not very tasty.
Niu Zhenzhen collected all the konjac powder in clay pots and made three jars of konjac powder in total.
After Fu Bao received it, he immediately asked the housekeeper to do as the book said.
Slowly pour the konjac powder into four pounds of water, and slowly boil the water until your finger can only hold it for three seconds. At the same time, stir slowly with chopsticks to avoid sticking to the pot.
Then pour a little bit of alkaline water into it - this is the same as ordering the bean curd before, it needs a little "primer" to make it take shape.
Then bring to a boil over high heat, then keep the pot boiling over low heat until it thickens, stir with chopsticks, turn off the heat and simmer for a while. Then open it again and observe that the konjac jelly has basically formed, but it just needs to sit for a while.
Pour cold water higher than the konjac jelly into it to speed up cooling, then peel the konjac jelly off the bottom of the pot along the edge, cut it into small pieces, boil the water and turn off the heat.
At this point, the konjac jelly has been completely prepared. However, there is still the smell of alkaline water in it. You need to take out the prepared konjac jelly and soak it in water. Change the water every two hours to bring out the taste of the alkaline water.
Soak it for a day and you can use it for cooking the next day. It tastes bouncy and smooth.
The housekeeper followed this troublesome process and asked the kitchen to make it, but the secret that it required some alkaline water was made by Fu Bao herself and no one else knew about it except her.
Fu Bao acted like a little adult, staying in the kitchen and checking with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Li also joined in the fun.
When the cook followed the request and scooped out the gray and tender konjac jelly piece by piece, the cook was shocked: "This thing can really be done like this!"
Q is soft and elastic, and looks delicious!
But it was not edible yet. The smell of alkaline water was quite strong, so the cook soaked it all in the water.
To make a large tub of konjac jelly, I only needed less than half a jar of powder and some water.
A large wooden basin was made from such a small amount of konjac powder. Jiang Li touched his chin and keenly discovered the business opportunities in it.
He teased his niece with a smile, "Fubao, do you want to do this konjac business with your eighth uncle?"
Fu Bao is not easy to fool, she discovered this by herself.
And you can do it yourself, whatever you want, let your eighth uncle come and join in He Heng.
Fu Bao raised his little face and said, "No, Fu Bao will do it himself."
Jiang Li saw that the little breast dumplings were no longer easy to fool, so he pretended to sigh, "Oh, poor old uncle, Fu Bao doesn't even feel sorry for him!"
"However," Fubao changed the subject, "Fubao has the idea of opening a tofu shop and a konjac shop."
Now Fubao's own breakfast shop still sells the same type of tofu curd and soy milk, with no new products.
Hongfulou sells tofu, and it sells very well.
The customers at Fubao’s breakfast stall have long been looking forward to the “new products” that Fubao had previously announced.
In Fubao's plan, tofu is one of the new products.
But if she sells beancurd and tofu at both her breakfast stall and Hongfu Tower, the amount of tofu curd produced by Dashuang and the others is simply not enough.
What's more, Fubao still has the intention to launch "exclusive new products" such as dried tofu and tofu skin, plus the konjac jelly that will be launched later...
It is also imperative to build a tofu workshop.
However, opening a workshop is not the same as opening a shop. Fubao plans to discuss it with his family after returning home.
After waiting for a day, the soaked konjac was ready to eat on the second day.
When the cook smelled it, she found that the smell of alkaline water was almost gone.
But she has a bit of numbness. How can she make this food delicious?
Fu Bao told her a relatively simple way to stir-fry, just slice the konjac into slices, add onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings and stir-fry for a plate.
Konjac itself has no taste, what you eat is just the texture and seasoning.
The cook did as he was told, and sure enough, a fragrant plate of stir-fried konnyaku was brought out. It was delicious, delicious, and made people's mouths water.
Fu Bao picked up a chopstick and ate it. Her eyes lit up: "It's delicious!"
Jiang Li also tried it and nodded, "It tastes different from tofu. This thing is chewier and more elastic."
Jiang Li can also see that there must be a big market for this konjac.
Wen Niang took a bite and said in surprise: "This way...it actually tastes like meat..."
Fu Bao nodded and said eloquently: "This konjac can also be made into vegetarian meat! It can be made into different shapes! It is delicious and not greasy!"
Wen Niang smiled and praised: "Thanks to our Fu Bao! Auntie can eat such good food!"
But she put down her chopsticks after eating two pieces.
Fu Bao said: "Huh? Auntie, don't you like eating? Why don't you eat?"
Wen Niang smiled sheepishly: "This... I've been losing weight lately, so it's better to eat less..."
In the past few days, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have a little more flesh on her body. Wen Niang also loves beauty! She likes flesh and blood, but she doesn’t want to grow too much flesh, lest she can’t fit into her old clothes, and she won’t be able to wear them anymore.
nice.
Fu Bao put several pieces into her bowl and said, "Don't be afraid! Auntie, this konjac has very low calories and won't make you fat!"
"Seriously?!" Wen Niang's eyes lit up, "But what do you mean by low calories?"
Fu Bao just followed the script, and she didn't know. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you know it is a good thing!"
Wen Niang stopped refusing immediately and started eating happily.
Anyway, you won’t gain much weight if you eat it, and I will eat it if I have the chance in the future!
The sisters at home should also bring some back for them to eat and see!
"Moreover, konjac also has the effects of resolving phlegm and eliminating accumulation, detoxifying and dissipating stagnation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, etc."
Fu Bao quickly put some into bowls for his two uncles.
Especially for Jiang Shou, Fubao said seriously: "Uncle Six has been practicing martial arts all year round, and it is inevitable that he will get bumps and bumps on his body. Take more, although it is not as good as medicine, but it can be regarded as a dietary supplement!"
The silent Jiang Shou nodded and said movedly: "Thank you Fubao."
"Family, you're welcome!"
It’s not just the Jiang family.
Niu Zhenzhen was also invited by Fubao to taste this novel method.
When Niu Zhenzhen saw this "konjac" that was full of color, flavor and flavor, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Is this...is this really that black konjac?"
Niu Zhenzhen can no longer recognize the original appearance of this food! How on earth is it made like this?
"Sister Niu, let's have a taste."
The host's family was very nice, so Niu Zhenzhen timidly thanked her, took a sip, and her eyes lit up immediately.
"tasty!"
She has been eating this food since she was a child, and she never knew it could be so delicious!
It actually tastes so good!
Niu Zhenzhen looked at Fu Bao with admiration: "The little lady is so awesome! I didn't even know I could do this!"
