The weather is slightly cold, slowly cook the tofu on clean water, stir in a little, and pour some soy sauce. The light bean and soy sauce fragrance is simple to make people feel aftertaste, and it is also the taste of the breakfast table in childhood. If I want to add some changes, I will add some Hakka orange sauce, which is as refreshing as the evening summer.
Tofu is an accidental invented by Emperor Hanwu's uncle Liu An's dan during his elixir. It has achieved a beautiful mistake for more than two thousand years. Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty once wrote the poem "Tofu": "The seedlings of beans are sparse, and the heart is exhausted. If I had known about the art of Huainan, I would sit and eat Quanbu (quan and Bu were once the name of money)" and wrote that "the world-renowned tofu was originally the art of Huainan kings." However, Liu An finally made up for his crime of counter-offense, whether he was rebellious or a sacrificial struggle, the coffin was still undecided forever.
Tofu has been inextricably linked to politics since its birth, and it was connected to the burial of nurturing political talents in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Li Shi, a veteran of the National People's Party, once went to France to study and became a "Doctor of Tofu". In 1919, he established the "Paris Chinese Tofu Factory" to produce large quantities of machines, which accumulated huge wealth, and then privately helped his father Sun Zhongshan's revolutionary career.
Sun Zhongshan also loves tofu and wrote in "Kuan Daquan" that "tofu is actually the meat material in plants. This thing has the function of meat material, but it has no poison of meat material." As a doctor, he strongly advocates the "Zhongshan Four Soup". The main ingredients are gold ingredient, black fungus, tofu, and yellow bean sprouts. I cooked it once, but it was not very delicious, but it was only cheap to make it cheap.
Li Shi once used his wealth to promote Chinese youth to work in France. Zhou Enlai and Dun Xiaoping, the veterans of the Communist Party of China, stayed in France because of this. He also opened a "China Tofu Shop" in Paris for his career. His business was good and even provided fees for the Communist Party of China's Tourism European Branch.
However, the best virtue of tofu should be "not to fight". The pure white vegetarian food can be made into glutinous rice or matched with other vegetarian ingredients to attract people. It combines delicious food. Simple ones such as peeled egg tofu, small tofu tofu, miso tofu soup, red tofu, mixed ones such as Mapo tofu, Babao tofu, Wensi tofu, etc. Especially when cooking sauerkraut white meat or slurry fish soup, (瓣) tofu is essential. "Thousand-fried tofu, thousands of tofu, thousands of tofu, the longer it is cooked, the more delicious it becomes. The "Snowflakes in the Hundred Boiling Soup" in Suping of the Ming Dynasty is well described.
The "Shanjia Qing Gong" by Lin Hong, a native of the Song Dynasty, once introduced three ways to eat tofu. The most interesting one is "Xuexia Soup": "Pick hibiscus flowers, remove the heart roots, and burn them. Boil them with tofu, and the red and white freckles are like the clouds of snow, and it is called Xuexia Soup. Adding Hushu and ginger can also be done." Hibiscus tofu is delicious and beautiful.
The Qing Dynasty talented man Yuan Mei introduced 10 kinds of tofu dishes in one mouthful, including 4 of which are interesting. For example, "Cai Shilang Tofu" is made of tofu, pork oil, salt, sweet wine and "120 large rice" in batches and added "120 sections of fine stews". Yuan Mei wrote a follow-up story in "Cai Yuan Poetry". He asked Cai to teach the method of cooking. The Cai Shilang said that Yuan Mei had to bow to him three times before he was willing to say that the talented man really bowed to this.
Another "Wang Taishou Babao Tofu" is to chop the tender tofu and add fragrant mushroom shavings, mushroom shavings, pine nut kernel shavings, melon seed kernel shavings, chicken shavings, ham shavings, etc. and stir-fry them in a chicken soup. Interestingly, this method was given to Xu Qian by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. However, when he went to the imperial kitchen to get the recipe, he was too difficult to manage and paid two thousand silver tickets to get it. Xu Qian thought that this expensive dish was only for a few people to enjoy, so he was passed on to Wanglou Village, Deyimensheng, and then to Shuzi, the Wangtai of the Qianlong Dynasty, and Yuan Mei had such a blessing.
The other two kinds of vegetables are also the willfulness of money. The main ingredients of "Yang Zhongcheng Tofu" are tofu, fragrant mushrooms, chicken soup and fish slices. "Cheng Liwan Tofu" is a fried tofu that Yuan Mei ate at Cheng Liwan's home in the salt shop in Yangzhou. He described it as "exquisite and untwined", "slightly chewed (a clam) and fresh flavor". He did not see car claws and other things. Unfortunately, Yuan Mei hurried away because of her sister. When she wanted to ask again later, Cheng Liwan was gone. Later generations recommended that the carts should be cooked together and then the main ingredients should be removed to keep the taste.
"All things must be seen from the details, and the vegetable roots and tofu are coarse and peaceful." Lin Fengxiu, one of Taiwan's "three major poets" during the Japanese reign, reminded me of Yuan Mei's warning of the "ear meal" for the privileged meal: "Ear meal is the name of the name of the business. The name of the expensive goods means respecting the guests, so the ear meal, It is not a mouth-watering meal. I don’t know that the tofu tastes good, and it is a long way to go with the swallow’s treasure.”
When I visited Mount Tai in China several years ago, I drew the “Three Beauties of Mount Tai”. The three beauties are tofu, cabbage, and water. The inner beauty does not need to be smeared with makeup. It is plain and simple, just like making friends. “The friendship of a gentleman is as light as water” and “the best is as good as water.”
