Chapter 486: Delicacies from the Land and Sea & Home-cooked Dishes
At noon, Zheng Sisi came to the kitchen again and patiently taught the cooks how to make various delicious tofu dishes.
She explained the steps and techniques of each dish in detail so that the cooks could master the cooking methods, including homemade tofu, mapo tofu, tofu boiled fish and fried tofu.
When these tofu dishes were placed on the table, everyone could not help but marvel at them. They were delicious in color, aroma and taste, making people salivate. Especially for the three elderly people, this tender and smooth tofu feast made them praise it endlessly.
Madam Cao said with emotion: "Fortunately I chose to come, otherwise I would have missed so many delicious foods."
Madam Zheng responded proudly, "Old sister, I didn't lie to you. I was also impressed by the delicious food at Sisi's mansion. I feel like I have lived in vain for the past few decades. I have never tasted such delicious food."
Hearing the praise from the two elders, Zheng Sisi quickly said modestly: "Grandma, you are too kind. You have enjoyed delicacies from land and sea before, and what I made are just some ordinary home-cooked dishes, which can't be compared with those precious ingredients."
However, Duke Zheng interrupted and said, "I think home-cooked food is more delicious and more to my taste."
As soon as this was said, everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, these home-cooked dishes were far more attractive than the delicacies from land and sea in the mansion.
Zheng Sisi explained with a smile: "It's not that the food in the mansion is not delicious, but because they use less seasoning when cooking, the taste of the dishes is too light, so people think it has no taste. But in fact, these foods are very delicious, and they only need a little improvement to make them taste better."
After hearing what Zheng Sisi said, everyone nodded in agreement and began to have a lively discussion about the dishes on the table. For a moment, the entire dining room was filled with laughter.
Sheng Zhen ate his meal in silence, occasionally putting some food into Zheng Sisi's bowl, taking care of her meticulously.
He thought to himself that although he had not paid much attention to food in the past, his view on food had changed after tasting Zheng Sisi's dishes.
It turns out that not all delicacies are as bland as he imagined, it's just that he has never met someone who really knows how to cook. Now that he has found such a future daughter-in-law with superb cooking skills, he only needs to enjoy the food she cooks.
The next morning, Zheng Sisi got up early, looking forward to tasting the delicious buns.
When she arrived at the dining room, she found the table was filled with steaming buns, and the cooks also brought hot soy milk and tofu pudding.
After everyone arrived, she set an example for everyone. She excitedly picked up a bun and took a bite. It was delicious, with a thin skin and large fillings. She then drank a sip of hot soy milk, which was very memorable.
While tasting the buns, Zheng Sisi praised the chefs for their improving cooking skills, feeling very satisfied.
At the same time, the cooks also rushed over and had breakfast in the kitchen with the guards. Eating so many delicious foods that they had never dared to think of before, everyone was moved and grateful, with happy smiles on their faces.
Zheng Sisi warmly invited everyone to have a meal together and enjoy this hearty breakfast. Amidst the laughter and joy, another wonderful day began.
After two days of continuous trial and improvement, many new varieties of soy products were finally produced, such as braised dried tofu, cured dried tofu, and thousand sheets of rice.
In addition, a kind of cold bean curd was specially developed as a cold dish. No matter which new variety it was, it was highly praised and loved by everyone once it was launched. The research work on bean products has come to an end for the time being.
Next, Zheng Sisi released a message about purchasing kudzu vines. However, since many villagers did not know what kudzu vines were, Zheng Sisi had to personally lead them to the slope at the foot of the mountain to teach them about this plant.
When everyone reached the slope, Zheng Sisi stopped, looked around, pointed at the green vines climbing everywhere on the roadside, and said loudly: "Look, this is the kudzu vine."
The villagers looked confused and shook their heads in confusion.
A villager asked in confusion: "Isn't this the Geba Teng that everyone hates so much?"
Another villager echoed, "Yes, we all call this geba vine. It is very difficult to get rid of. It grows on the roadside and affects people passing by because it will grow into the road and trip people and make them fall. Every year the village chief organizes everyone to cut it down, but after it is cut down, it will grow back quickly and grow more and more."
