When the captain heard this, he raised his whip with one hand and said, "Are you bitches like you able to inquire about these things?"
Gu Xiaotang first pretended to shrink back, and then said aggrievedly: "You may not know something, but I heard from a merchant in the Tang Dynasty that they eat tofu. Some people like it salty, while others don't. I like sweet things. If you give sweet tofu to people who like salty tofu, then not only will they not be happy, but they will think that sweet tofu is heresy."
This is what Tang Ping quietly taught Gu Xiaotang just now. The captain did not expect such a statement.
He didn't know if it was right or not, but if what they said was true, wouldn't he be in trouble instead of failing to take credit?
So he hesitated and said, "The noble man turns out to be from near Chang'an."
Gu Xiaotang's eyes lit up. In this way, even if the target is not Empress Xiao, at least she is related to her. In the Qikou Camp, are there any other nobles from Chang'an?
"That's it, I understand now. Sir, please wait a moment. We'll start now!"
Tang Ping started grinding beans skillfully. Almost every household in Shanghe Village had a grinder. He found it fun and often started grinding messy things himself, so now it really looks decent.
Next to the millstone, there was a clean silk bag. I guess it was probably from their predecessor.
Moreover, Tang Ping could tell at a glance that this silk bag was definitely produced in Tang Dynasty, which further confirmed their idea.
After filtering it several times, add chopped green vegetables to the soy milk and boil it, then slowly add the juice of the mountain climbing leaves just filtered out, stirring constantly with a spoon.
Don't stop until corn-sized tofu cubes appear in the soy milk.
Finally, pour it into a wooden grid lined with cotton cloth and squeeze it with a wooden board.
The tools here are actually quite complete, but it’s probably that their predecessors didn’t do it, and something went wrong in a certain step, so they didn’t make tofu.
As the water in the wooden grid is squeezed out, the tofu slowly takes shape.
Then Tang Ping sprinkles with chopped green onion and coriander, as well as some kitchen sauces and pickles.
The so-called coriander is actually coriander. Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty replaced the word "Hu" in Shi Le's taboo during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Western Han Dynasty, so he changed it to coriander.
This dish is actually the earliest Hanzhong dish tofu, but that

This era did not have as many seasonings as modern times, but the methods were not much different.
The tofu is sweet, the soup and porridge are sour, and paired with some side dishes, it is really delicious.
Gu Xiaotang pretended to taste the saltiness and took the opportunity to eat a lot.
"I didn't expect that you still have such ability?"
"Oh, I still have a lot of abilities!"
The two of them quarreled quietly in the kitchen. Using the excuse of not spreading their craftsmanship to others, no one else in the kitchen dared to come near, so the two of them could talk with confidence.
After a while, the captain came to the kitchen, sniffed, and was very happy to see the vegetable tofu that had been prepared.
Gu Xiaotang was also sensible and presented a bowl of tofu that had been prepared long ago: "I don't know if this is to your taste, why don't you try it first?"
When the captain was on the grassland, had he ever tasted such delicious food? Even the soup was licked clean by him.
"Yes, you two did a good job!" The captain laughed heartily, and now he could no longer take away the credit for his achievements.
"Sir, I wonder if I and I can deliver this in person?"
"Why?" The captain looked at the two men warily, thinking that they were planning to steal his function.
"My lord, before you eat this tofu, you have to sprinkle some side dishes on it. Most people can't grasp how much of this. There is a saying that if you add a bit more, it will be thicker, if you want a bit less, it will be light. And sir, if you think about it, if it's up to me Isn't it better for the two of you to serve it and tell me about the process of preparing and finally making this dish than for you to... brag about it?"
The captain blinked, as if that was indeed the case. The general didn't like anyone showing off his merits. He was still thinking about how to let the general know his merits. If it was according to what he said, it would be good.
"Okay, then you two will deliver it. I think you are quite smart. Remember not to talk nonsense!"
"Thank you, sir. Come, sir, there is another bowl here. It would be a waste to leave it alone. Why don't you eat this bowl if you are tired and tired?"
"You boy, you are sensible!" The captain smiled happily. He took the bowl and started to purr for a while. After eating, he wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, come with me!"
Gu Xiaotang winked at Tang Ping, and Tang Ping quickly took out the warm tofu from the pot.
The two of them followed the captain and walked around the Qikou camp for a long time, and were also stopped in the process.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I checked in twice, but after a few words from the captain, I was let go.
"Okay, send it in, remember what you should and shouldn't say!"
Arriving in front of a gorgeous tent, the captain gave the two instructions again before letting them in.
The two of them carried the trays in. When they entered the tent, they found that one table and one chair were all in the style of the Central Plains or the Tang Dynasty.
On the bed, a lazy woman was half-lying on it.
"Didn't you say you have no appetite?" As soon as she finished speaking, her nose twitched slightly: "Wait, what did you give me?"
Tang Ping opened his mouth and said, "In return, your honor, this dish is called Hanzhong Cuisine Tofu."
The woman didn't even realize that Tang Ping was speaking in Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty. She sat up straight and walked closer. When she saw the white and green tofu, she suddenly felt her mouth watering.
"Put it down quickly and let me have a taste!" He sat down impatiently, picked up the spoon and took a bite.
"Hmm..." A low moan came from her mouth, and then she didn't shy away from the two of them and started eating.
She was originally from the vicinity of Hanzhong. Although she had found many cooks from the Central Plains in the past few years since she came to Turks and cooked a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, none of them could compare to the bowl of Hanzhong tofu she was eating now.
Tang Ping didn't say anything, just stood aside and looked at her quietly.
After she finally finished eating, Tang Ping said, "My lord, this dish also comes with a poem. Do you want to read it?"
Empress Xiao's eyes were slightly red, and she asked in surprise: "There is another poem? Let's take a look!"
Tang Ping handed over a piece of paper. Empress Xiao frowned slightly when she saw the handwriting. To be honest, when she was in Chang'an, a child of eight or nine could have written better than this.
There was no way, Tang Ping could usually find a gunman to help him write, but this time it was just him and Gu Xiaotang, and Gu Xiaotang's handwriting... might as well not be said.
It seems that when Queen Xiao saw the content of the poem, she was slightly shocked.
