Chapter Thirteen Chinese Pepper

The key to making fish with distiller's grains is the wine, which must be strong old wine. Only in this way can the aroma of the wine penetrate into the fish.

Tang Qi has only been on this desert island for three years, so it is naturally impossible to have old wine, so he can only strengthen the alcohol.

The alcohol content of this jar of grain wine is at least about 56 degrees.

After Tang Qi put the big fish in, he caught a silver carp from the fish pond, chopped off the fish's brain, stuffed the fish body with wine lees, and put it into the wine jar.

Next, Tang Qi prepared the second dish, which was fish head and tofu soup.

Tang Qi had just made the tofu a day ago.

Grind soybeans into powder, add water to make soy milk, and then heat it.

During the heating process, add some brine appropriately to make tofu.

Tang Qi took out the white and crystal-clear tofu from the other side of the stove and fried it together with the fish head.

Then throw the fish head and tofu into the pot, add water and cook.

About half an hour later, Tang Qi opened the pot, and the rich aroma hit his face. Tang Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling intoxicated.

The milky white fish soup in the pot, the plump and tender fish head, the crystal-clear tofu, and a sprinkle of chopped green onion and salt are all the best in the world.

Tang Qi smelled the aroma and felt a little hungry.

At this moment, Wei Zifu's voice suddenly came from the side: "It smells so good, Mr. Tang, what are you cooking?"

Tang Qi was startled and turned his head sharply to look beside him, only to see Wei Zifu standing there handsomely with a smile on his face.

This scene made Tang Qi's heart beat uncontrollably.

Could it be that this woman saw that Lao Zi was young, handsome and strong, so she took advantage of her husband's sleep to come over and seduce Lao Zi?

Three years on a deserted island was like a sow racing against Diao Chan.

Tang Qi was almost suffocated, and it was normal to have some fantasies.

But he still restrained his inner restlessness and said calmly: "I cooked fish head and tofu soup to help you with your spleen and stomach. Why don't you continue to sleep with Lao Liu for a while?"

Wei Zifu shook his head and said: "No, I've had enough sleep. I wanted to get up and move around, but suddenly I smelled the fragrance and was curious, so I came over to take a look!"

Tang Qi smiled and said, "Would you like me to scoop a bowl for you first?"

Wei Zifu's face suddenly showed a look of excitement.

But in the end, Wei Zifu shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's eat together after His Majesty and Qingdi wake up!"

After speaking, Wei Zifu hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Mr. Tang, your cooking skills are so good, can you teach me?"

Tang Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "Aren't you the queen of the Han Dynasty? Why learn this? It won't do anything for you!"

Wei Zifu said seriously: "Although I am a queen, I still need to know some cooking skills so that I can better take care of Your Majesty!

Just now, His Majesty has been full of praise for the egg fried rice you made, Mr. Tang. I want to learn this from Mr. Tang first. If His Majesty wants to eat it in the future, I can make it for him at any time!"

Tang Qi was a little speechless.

Damn, I originally wanted to make a joke, but ended up being fed a handful of cold dog food first.

This woman learns cooking skills to cook for the guy who plays Liu Che. It's just... it's so enviable and jealous!

After suffering a blow, Tang Qi said rather perfunctorily: "Okay, I will teach you all my cooking skills in the future, but I think Lao Liu may not like to eat that bowl of egg fried rice. He is just hungry to a certain extent, so he eats it."

Everything tastes delicious!”

"As long as His Majesty shows a little bit of affection, my husband will be prepared!"

Wei Zifu looked very determined.

Tang Qi shrugged, didn't say anything more, turned around and stirred the fish soup in the pot.

At this time, the aroma of the fish soup has reached its peak.

Wei Zifu stood nearby and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Tang Qi heard the sound of swallowing saliva and immediately felt funny.

This girl said she wanted to wait for Liu Che and Wei Qing to eat together, but in fact she was quite honest.

Tang Qi turned to look at Wei Zifu and said, "Sister, I've been careless lately, why don't you help me taste the saltiness of this soup."

Wei Zifu's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem!"

Tang Qi smiled, took out a ceramic bowl, scooped out a bowl of fish soup, picked out a piece of tender fish cheek meat, fished out two pieces of white jade tofu, and handed it to Wei Zifu.

Wei Zifu took the porcelain bowl happily.

She first got closer and smelled it, and the warm and rich fragrance made her scream intoxicated.

Tang Qi smiled and said: "Drink it quickly, this fish soup won't taste good when it gets cold!"

Wei Zifu nodded and took a sip from the porcelain bowl.

When the fish soup enters the mouth, the light thickness is as smooth as condensed milk, and the rich aroma blooms instantly, wrapping the taste buds.

The freshness of the ingredients is brought out to its fullest.

This taste is, in one word, absolutely amazing!

“Delicious, so delicious!”

Wei Zifu's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

The food he cooked was praised by diners, and Tang Qi also felt very happy.

"Don't just drink the soup, try the fish and see how it tastes!"

In fact, there was no need for Tang Qi to remind Wei Zifu that he could no longer hold himself back.

She picked up the chopsticks, picked up the fish, and took a bite.

Then, her eyes widened: "Why is this fish... so numb?"

Tang Qi gave a thumbs up and said: "Awesome, you can taste it. It's Sichuan peppercorns. I used Sichuan peppercorns when pickling the fish heads!"

"Sichuan peppercorn?"

Wei Zifu asked in surprise: "Can peppercorns be used as seasoning?"

Although Zanthoxylum bungeanum has appeared very early, it did not really become a kitchen seasoning until the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In the Han Dynasty, people just used Sichuan peppercorns and mud to paint the walls to make the room warm and fragrant, which was called a pepper room.

So it’s normal for Wei Zifu not to know that Zanthoxylum bungeanum can be used as seasoning.

But in Tang Qi's opinion, Wei Zifu was just pretending to be stupid.

"Girl, that's too much. Sichuan peppercorns are a common seasoning!"

Tang Qi said to Wei Zifu with some resentment.

Wei Zifu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Tang, Sichuan peppercorns may be just a common seasoning in Penglai Island. Although Zifu is the queen, he has never eaten food with Sichuan peppercorns as seasoning, but it is quite delicious.

of!"

Using a small amount of Sichuan peppercorns when marinating fish heads will not destroy the taste of the fish itself.

On the contrary, that kind of spicy taste will make the fish taste more intense and taste better.

Tang Qi was too lazy to refute Wei Zifu and simply changed the subject: "Try the tofu again. That is the tofu I made myself. It is absolutely natural!"

Tofu was invented by Liu An, King of Huainan during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

So Wei Zifu happened to have eaten it.

But the tofu made by Tang Qi is obviously better than the tofu eaten by Wei Zifu.

It is as white as jade, extremely soft and melts in your mouth. The fragrance of tofu is mixed with the freshness of fish, which is simply the ultimate enjoyment for your taste buds.

"Mr. Tang, your cooking skills are really amazing. This is the best fish soup I have ever tasted!"
