"It's the same, horses like to eat soybeans." Liu Shijie continued to feed his Zhui Feng.
The corners of Shangguan Feng'er's mouth turned up, then she snapped her fingers, "That's right."
"Ah, what's wrong?" Liu Shijie raised his head and looked at her in confusion.
"It's nothing, General Liu. I am going back to the military tent. You can feed your Zhui Feng slowly." After Shangguan Feng'er finished speaking, he walked away gracefully.
Liu Shijie laughed and shook his head behind his back, and then continued to feed Zhui Feng soybeans.
Dividing line------
In February of the 20th year of Emperor Jing's reign, Yan won a complete victory in the battle of Zhushan between Chu and Chu. Yan's morale increased greatly, and Chu retreated to Wuyuan.
Inside Yan Jun's kitchen
"Princess, what are you doing?" Yuan'er looked puzzled as Shangguan Feng'er put the soaked soybeans into the stone mill.
"You know how to put it, hey, let's put it on." Shangguan Feng'er handed the big spoon for scooping soybeans to Yuan'er. Yuan'er had to take the spoon, and then scooped the soaked soybeans onto the stone grinder one by one.
.
Shangguan Feng'er watched from the sidelines. In the past few days, when they arrived in Wuyuan, the Chu army was temporarily adjusting because they suffered a defeat; and the Yan army soldiers did not have much rations, and the subsequent grain and grass had not yet been transported.
General Han Ning (Concubine Han's brother, uncle of the second prince Shangguan Hao) who was in charge of the army this time would need two days to deliver the food and grass, so the two armies were in a truce. So she had nothing to do,
Just thinking about how to improve the soldiers' meals.
There was a large wooden barrel placed under the stone mill. Seeing that the soy milk in the barrel was almost full, Shangguan Feng'er quickly picked up another barrel and said, "Xiao Chui, go and boil this."
The man named Xiao Cui poured the soy milk in the barrel into the big pot and boiled it. Xiao Cui was the cook in the Yan Army camp. Regarding Shangguan Feng'er's strange behavior, he didn't know what he was going to do. He just pressed
Give orders to do things.
Last night, Shangguan Feng'er asked Xiao Chui to get a bag of soybeans to soak, and also asked him to prepare some gypsum powder. Today, he will grind the soaked beans, and then bring the ground soy milk to a pot to boil.
, then pour the gypsum water into the boiling soy milk and stir it a few times.
After a while, the soy milk in the pot gradually condensed. After a while, Shangguan Feng'er asked Xiao Chui to put the condensation in the pot into a custom-made wooden mold with gauze placed in advance.
When it is full, cover it with gauze, and then place a heavy object on top of the grinding tool. After a while, remove the heavy object, open the gauze, and the agglomerate becomes a whole white paste.
Everyone must know what this is doing, yes, Shangguan Feng'er is making tofu. In fact, Shangguan Feng'er doesn't like tofu, but she would rather eat tofu than eat the hard and dry fried soybeans all day long.
But why Shangguan Feng'er suddenly started making tofu and Xishi? I have to start from an accidental incident:
One day, Shangguan Feng'er went to the military camp kitchen, only to see the kitchen leader shaking his head and sighing: "Not many people eat the soybeans today." When he got closer, he saw that there were indeed a lot left.
It was that day that she realized that she was not the only person in the military camp who didn't like fried soybeans. There were many, many people who didn't like to eat them.
Although the fried soybeans are fragrant, they are too hard. If you eat too much, your teeth will feel painful, and they are too dry. Therefore, the soldiers do not like to eat them.
But although it is already February, there are no greenhouses or greenhouses in this era, so it is impossible to eat fresh vegetables at this time.
Besides, soybeans are one of the main rations for soldiers in winter. If they only eat rice, rice or steamed buns, the rations will not be enough, so we must find a way to convert soybeans into something that everyone likes to eat.
In the end, Shangguan Feng'er chose to turn soybeans into tofu, because this could not only change the dry and hard texture of fried soybeans, but also resolve the danger of insufficient rations.
But when I asked the chefs in the military camp kitchen if they knew how to make tofu, they actually said that they had never heard of tofu, let alone how to make it. Therefore, Shangguan Feng'er had to demonstrate it himself.
Speaking of making tofu, Shangguan Feng'er actually learned it when she was in an orphanage in her previous life.
At that time, there was a tofu shop next to the orphanage, and it was made and sold freshly. After grinding the soy milk there, it was poured into a big pot to cook, while on the other side, the grinding tool had already been formed, and as long as the tofu was ready
When it came out, it was sold out even while it was still hot, and the business was very hot.
The children in the orphanage would go there to watch if they had anything to do, and gradually they began to know how to make tofu.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, Major General, what is this? It looks white, feels tender and smooth, and smells very fragrant." Yuan'er took a piece of tofu and played with it.
The expression of joy is very exaggerated.
"This is called tofu, Xiao Cui. You take the tofu and stew it with cabbage. It's best to sprinkle some chopped green onion. Everyone will eat this dish in the evening." Shangguan Feng'er glanced at Yuan'er with a smile, then looked past Yuan'er and behind her.
Xiao Cui and other chefs are busy making tofu.
Now these chefs knew how to make tofu, so there was no need for Shangguan Feng'er to stay in the kitchen anymore, so he followed Yuan'er back to the military camp.
"Princess, how do you know how to make tofu?" On the way back to her tent, Yuan'er looked at Shangguan Feng'er doubtfully, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Don't tell me again what book you are from.
I saw it." Every time the princess made something strange, she would say she saw it in a book. It was true.
Shangguan Feng'er gave Yuan'er a thumbs up, "Yuan'er, you are so smart, you guessed it right."
"Princess, you are just lying to Yuan'er. How can there be such a good book? There is everything." Yuan'er said she didn't believe it.
Shangguan Feng'er looked at her with a smile on her face, "The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade."
"The princess is lying again. Where is the golden house in the book, and where is the beauty?" Yuan'er didn't believe it even more.
Regarding Yuan'er, Shangguan Feng'er was speechless, and then she was really speechless, because the second prince Shangguan Hao and Xia Qi suddenly came out of a military tent and walked towards this side.
