79. Wang Taishou Eight Treasures Tofu

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!

*************

Speaking of this tofu dish, Li Liqiang really has an inexplicable self-confidence, and the reason is very simple, that is, it comes from the recipe handed down from his ancestors that he got from Li Yifan.

In that cookbook, there happened to be a tofu dish, and it was written that the origin, this dish was very famous at the time, but then it was lost, some time ago he had a renovation at home, Li Yifan and Zhang Shu, and Anna were full of praise, and the most important thing is that this dish is also very suitable for the elderly, so he has this confidence.

The name of this dish is called Wang Taishou Babao Tofu, and it is rumored that in his later years, Kangxi liked to eat soft and smooth dishes, so the imperial chefs in the court carefully developed this dish.

At that time, Kangxi had a favorite minister surnamed Wang, who was not young, and Kangxi summoned him again and asked him to accompany him to eat together, and it happened that there was this dish, and the minister ate a lot.

Kangxi was very happy and asked him: "You like this dish so much?" ”

The minister replied, "The minister is very old, his teeth are almost lost, and he can't eat anything too hard, and I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time before you summoned me, Your Majesty." ”

Kangxi was very happy to hear it, so he gave him the recipe for this dish, but when he went to the imperial dining room to get the recipe, he was troubled by those imperial chefs, and Zuihou spent a thousand taels of silver to get the recipe, but they still kept a hand, and they didn't tell him about the control of this dish or anything.

However, after going back, this dish was still eaten by the old minister, and later the recipe for this dish was passed on to his descendants who were Meng Tingtaishou, so there was the name of this dish of Wang Taishou Eight Treasures Tofu, and then it was also appeared on Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List".

But later, because of the cooking techniques, this dish never made the charm that the imperial chefs in the court made back then. And Li Yifan's ancestors happened to be the imperial chef in the palace, so of course he knows everything about the practice of this dish, after Li Liqiang got the recipe a few days ago, he studied hard every day, and made special improvements to this dish according to the characteristics of the current ingredients and cooking tools, so this dish often appeared on the Li family's table in those days, but Li Yifan, Zhang Shu, and Anna were addicted to eating it.

Today's attitude towards their family really made Li Liqiang, who was not what it used to be, feel a little dissatisfied, so he decided to show his hand in front of the Yang family, don't you Yang Yutian look down on us?

Okay, I'll make a dish you like and show you.

When the family got out of the hospital, they were not in a hurry to go home, but now went to a nearby vegetable market, and carefully selected the ingredients, such as fragrant tan, mushrooms, pine nuts, melon seeds, rural stupid chicken, selected Jinhua ham and so on.

When I got home, I hung the stock with chickens, then broke up a few ingredients, and stir-fried them in a pot, without any seasoning, and only seasoned them with the stock that was hung out.

It sounds quite simple, but it takes a lot of work to make this dish, until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and then it is finished in a heated rice cooker, and I go out to take a taxi straight to the hospital.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, Yang Yuhe had already arrived, in order not to disappoint Brother Li, and also had the heart of rushing to the doctor, he planned to let Li Liqiang try it today.

took Li Liqiang upstairs with a thermos rice cooker and came to the old father's ward, and it happened that the eldest brother Yang Yutian was also there.

"Second brother, it's not me talking about you, you have just taken up your new position, don't stay in the capital all the time if you have nothing to do, after all, you also have a lot of things to deal with at work, and it's not good for people to think that you don't care."

Yang Yutian watched Yang Yuhe walk in with Li Liqiang, frowned and said to Yang Yuhe.

To be honest, Yang Yutian doesn't like Yang Yuhe very much, because he is shrewd, he is better than himself as an official, and he is usually more favored by his old father than he is at home, so he is still quite appreciative of Yang Yuhe's favor.

Now that my father is seriously ill, it is the time for him to express himself, but this second brother does not go to Bincheng all day long, but wanders here, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

As soon as he saw Li Liqiang standing next to Yang Yuhe, he felt even more uncomfortable, a mud leg, what do you always do in the high-level cadre ward?

"Why did you bring him again?"

Seeing Li Liqiang, Yang Yutian's tone was a little unkind.

"Brother Li used to be the imperial chef in the palace, and he heard today that his father likes to eat tofu dishes, so he made one out without going home and sent it to his father, wanting to see if his father could eat it."

"Second child, you're confused, aren't you? What's happening to Dad now? How can you eat randomly? Besides, there are so many famous chefs in the capital, and the tofu dishes made by my father don't want to eat them, he has a ...... How can Dad eat the dishes he makes? Aren't you trying to hurt your father? ”

When Yang Yutian heard Yang Yuhe say this, his mood became even more excited, his father actually didn't sleep, he was just closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, he just wanted to say this in front of his father, so that his father felt that this second brother was too unreliable.

Yang Yuhe heard his eldest brother say this, and he was immediately angry, he knew that his eldest brother, he usually looked at himself unpleasantly, but in order not to let his father worry, so he usually endured it, but today he was kind, he actually said this, just wanted to open his mouth to say a few words to him, but Li Liqiang on the side pulled his arm, he looked at his father lying on the bed, and put up with this breath, after all, his father was still seriously ill, and it was not good to quarrel in front of him.

Sure enough, Lao Yang couldn't lie down on the bed and opened his eyes.

"Boss, what are you doing so loudly? People are also kind. ”

Although the old man's voice was very weak, his tone was very peaceful, and he obviously did not blame Yang Yuhe and Li Liqiang for their recklessness. Seeing Yang Yutian reprimanding Yang Yuhe, Li Liqiang felt a little helpless, after all, it was his idea today, but he didn't expect to be opposed by his family.

"Bring me the food and I'll take a look?"

Lao Yang also noticed Li Liqiang's helplessness, but he didn't say anything, just to see the dishes brought by Li Liqiang, in fact, he also knew that he might not be able to eat it, but after all, people were kind, and they were really kind to their second child back then.

The insulated rice cooker was placed in front of Yang Lao, and as soon as the lid was opened, Lao Yang asked with a pungent fragrance.

"It's so fragrant......"

Lao Yang took a deep sniff, Yang Yuhe saw this situation, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly walked to his father's side, picked up a spoon and gave his father a spoonful, and brought it to his mouth.

The eight-treasure tofu cooked with all his heart was lukewarm at this time, and Lao Yang tried to take a sip.

Incense, just one word, incense! It's so fragrant! The feeling from the taste buds immediately stimulated Lao Yang's appetite, and he motioned for his son to give himself another spoonful to eat.

And at this time, Yang Yutian, who was standing by the bed, was already dumbfounded, how could it be, so many famous doctors and chefs, all helpless, the old man lying on the bed, had not eaten water and rice for more than ten days, and today he actually ...... Actually ate this eight-treasure tofu made from muddy legs?

At this moment, the bald Dr. Zhang walked into the ward and happened to see the scene of Yang Lao eating.

Miracle, this is definitely a miracle, after inspecting Yang Lao's body and the box of eight-treasure tofu, Dr. Zhang said again and again.

In fact, in his heart, he had already concluded that this Yang Lao had anorexia, and had already sentenced him to death, after all, at his age, when he got such a strange disease that the medical profession is helpless at present, it must be time to run out.

Who would have thought that Yang Lao actually opened his mouth to eat today, isn't it a miracle?

You must know that a patient with anorexia, even if you put the delicacies of the mountains and seas, as well as his favorite food in front of him, he can't eat it, and the result of zuihou can only be starvation, and the cure rate of this disease so far is less than one percent, but he didn't expect this miracle to happen in front of his eyes today.

"Well, the old man can open his mouth to eat, this is good news, it seems that this dish has aroused the appetite of the old man, but this dish is still a little greasy for the patient, just eat a few bites, drink more porridge, eat more light, rest assured that as long as the old man opens his mouth to eat, the disease will be half cured."
