C353 Tofu east slope

In the weapon shop, because the dagger was unexpectedly better than Xiao Wen's 10 hands, Xiao Wen felt that it was unnecessary for the boss to repair his 10 hands. As a result, he retrieved the damaged hands from his boss.

To this, the boss didn't have any objections. Instead, he smiled to show that he understood. He knew very well that the weapon that he had just sold to this customer was indeed much better than the customer's original ten hands.

What was worth mentioning was that when Xiao Wen left the weapon store, he discovered that the boss was not dissatisfied at all. Logically speaking, he had been running around his shop for half a day without spending a single cent, if he was in another place like the weapon shop where Xiao Wen was at previously, the boss would have already exploded. Even if he was not clear as to how to mock Xiao Wen, he would definitely look down on him from the shadows.

But according to Xiao Wen's observation, he discovered that this boss's expression, other than respect, was respectful. Although this might have been due to the fact that he did not seem to be at a disadvantage when he was facing Princess Gao Yang just now, his performance made the boss think that he was a great aristocrat that was on par with Gao Yang. But regardless of the reason — Xiao Wen was indeed very happy.

Because of this, he gave the boss enough money to buy a handful of fine longsword in his shop, treating it as if he was in a good mood.

Then, Xiao Wen brought Sun Shangxiang and the others to the last stop of East City — a top-notch tailor shop. Fortunately, although Xiao Wen was a dignified noble and brought a group of children to the tailor shop, it still felt that it was more or less strange. However, he did not meet with any mishaps. He had customized a few sets of clothes that not only met the standard of Tang suit but also had Chinese elements in it. Moreover, they were low-key, luxurious and had a connotation, revealing his identity and talent. Furthermore, Xiao Wen also bought some new clothes for all the children.

However, these clothes required two days of time, Xiao Wen thought that although Li Shimin would summon him in the next few days. Especially since he might have secretly looked at the gift that she was prepared to give him, the matter of summoning him must be urgent.

However, Xiao Wen thought that as an emperor, Li Shimin could also be considered to be in the top five in all of China's history. He could not possibly not even have the modesty of an emperor. He had only been here for two days, so he decided to summon him!

Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry.

After getting dressed, Xiao Wen left the East City and returned to his room. Looking at the Manager Wu, Xiao Wen told him about some of the things that had happened today. He wanted him to deal with the murder case that had occurred at Bi Cheng's place, and he also needed two days to get those customized clothes for him.

Then, Xiao Wen lazily stayed in the courtyard, not intending to go out any further.

"Well, maybe I should make something good." Xiao Wen thought as he entered the kitchen.

At this time, the kitchen had already moved all the things on Xiao Wen's dining cart into. As a result, equipment such as the pressure cooker was available.

In addition, the Tang Kingdom himself had the support of the An Xi Capital Residence, so many things from the Western Regions had come in. Spices from India, food from the Western Regions, and meat from nomads were all displayed in the kitchen.

What should he do? Xiao Wen closed his eyes, and all kinds of recipes flashed continuously in his mind. Soon, he opened his eyes and saw a piece of old tofu placed in a basin of water to keep it fresh.

You!

Xiao Wen walked over and gently scooped the tofu out of the water. He weighed it and figured it was enough for the group to eat as the main course. Thus, he relaxed.

Then, Xiao Wen found a chopping board and placed the tofu on it. Just then, the Manager Wu gave a steel kitchen knife to Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen rolled his eyes at the kitchen knife. Manager Wu was confused. But he quickly saw Xiao Wen take out a white kitchen knife from the cupboard. From the clear sound produced when it collided with other objects, Manager Wu faintly realised that this could be a ceramic knife.

"This ceramic can actually be used as a blade?" Manager Wu was surprised at his own discovery. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. After all, Xiao Wen only used a ceramic knife to cut through tofu. Although the ceramics couldn't cut the bones, or even the meat, but cutting vegetables and tofu wasn't a problem.

Following that, Xiao Wen picked up a bundle of spring onions and sliced it into two, adding oil into the wok and boiled it into a wok.

After cooking it for a while, Xiao Wen threw away the fried tofu that had been burnt black until it was golden.

Immediately after, Xiao Wen added spring onion, ginger, cooking wine, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce (these two condiments were made by Xiao Wen in Chang'an, so it shouldn't be difficult to make them), and after Chang'an finished making them, he added half a spoonful of soup, covered the pot with the lid, and used a small fire to simmer the ham.

After a while, Xiao Wen smelt a rich fragrance which almost made his appetite increase. Thus, he opened the lid of the pot, put away the stuffy soup and put it on the plate.

"Mister, what is this dish!?" "It's actually so fragrant." Not knowing when Sun Shangxiang came over, she looked at the tofu on the plate and asked.

Xiao Wen smiled slightly, because the temperature of the dish was not particularly high, he was not worried about Sun Shangxiang coveting it. He directly said, "East Slope Tofu."

"Tofu on the East Slope?" "What is the East Slope?" Sun Shangxiang's face was full of confusion.

had said that this dish was called Eastern Slope Tofu. Naturally, Sun Shangxiang did not know that the Eastern Slope was referring to Su Dong Po.

However, in the history, the Song Divine Sect Yuan Feng two years December, Su Shi was demoted to the Huangzhou Regiment Vice Envoy.

As soon as he arrived, he wrote a poem, "First Coming to Huangzhou," in which he praised "the Yangtze River surrounds Guo Zhi Yu Mei, and the bamboo shoots are fragrant". He had a good impression of the wind and animals in Huangzhou.

In the past four years, he had written hundreds of poems, notes, and articles about stew, stir-fry, cooking, pancakes, cooking, porridge, and stew. Some of them had been personally created by him, others had been introduced and disseminated by him, and some of them had been created after he left the city and were now in the form of "Thirty-Two Flavors of the East Slope."

Some of them were developed by famous chefs in Huangzhou on the basis of learning East Slope cuisine (order).

In addition, the East Slope places great emphasis on diet and health, especially vegetarian food. In "Send Qiao Quan to His Lordship," he wrote a poem like this: "It is useless to chant and dance, but to rest your mind."

However, he was naturally unable to say these words to Sun Shangxiang. Therefore, Xiao Wen could only give a vague explanation. This Su Dong Po was actually a friend of Xiao Wen's teacher from the beginning, someone who had lived in the Huang Province.

He had a reputation in the local area of Huangzhou, and he was particularly good at eating, drinking, and playing.

The reason why Xiao Wen understood so many delicious food, was all because of this Mr. Su Dongpo.
