Chapter 1158: Chill It!
On the white plate, there were pieces of tofu that looked like jade. The pieces of tofu were crystal clear. At a glance, one could tell that the texture was very smooth and fragrant…
“It looks good! Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue, quickly cut it into smaller pieces. I want to be the first to eat it!” Xue Wufu’s eyes were shining with excitement, and he was already handing out plates and cutleries, preparing to have a good taste.
“Okay.” Jiang Yue obediently cut the piece of tofu on the plate a few more times and cut it into small pieces.
Half a month ago, Jiang Yue had picked this leaf and came back to pound it into a pulp for the chickens. The chicken was fine after eating it. Therefore, when Xue Wufu saw Jiang Yue cut it into small pieces, he picked up his chopsticks and put a small piece into his mouth without hesitation. No one at home stopped him. Instead, they looked at him and asked him to tell them what the green tofu tasted like.
As Xue Wufu tasted it, he said, “It’s very slippery and fragrant. It tastes so cool. It just tastes a little bitter… but in a good way! Anyway, I think it’s delicious! It’s different from eating beancurd made from beans!”
Xue Sifu, Yu Hongyan, and the others also picked up their chopsticks in excitement. Each of them picked up a small piece and tasted it. They all agreed with Xue Wufu.
Yu Hongyan even smiled. “You took the leaves from the divine tree right?
Then, the tofu made from this should be called immortal tofu, right?”
“Immortal tofu? Good idea!! If I heard this name, I would want to have a bite!” Xue Wufu was the first to agree happily.
“Okay, let’s call it that.” Xue Sifu laughed.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t say anything and just looked at each other.
“Is this like the tofu we usually make?” Li Hehua asked softly with a smile.
Xue Sifu smiled. “It tastes like Liangpi. It’s quite cool to eat. This should be eaten with cold things, right?”
“If it tastes better when it’s cold, we can sell it on hot days! It saves me a lot of trouble by only selling those few things,” said Li Hehua with a smile.
Yu Hongyan smiled. “If Sifu brings it to town, I’m sure people would enjoy it.
It’s a good time to start making cooling food.”
“That’s true.” Li Hehua nodded.
Jiang Yue then said, “It should be able to be chilled in ice water. That way, it can be cool when it’s taken out to eat. I think it is more suitable to eat when the weather is hot.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll get the ice to cool it down!” Xue Wufu immediately ran to get the ice with enthusiasm. In the afternoon, the ice-making workshop sent over another wooden box of ice.
This was the first time she was making the immortal tofu, so she didn’t make much. Therefore, Xue Wufu didn’t bring a lot of ice to chill it. Then, he poured cold water into the ice and made it into ice water. He carefully put the immortal tofu into the ice.
Jiang Yue began to make the seasoning for the salad. Xue Yan helped her by the side, peeling the garlic and mashing it into garlic paste.
Once the sky turned dark, the immortal tofu was chilled. She took it out, cut it into small pieces, and placed it on a plate. Then, she poured chili oil, salt, vinegar, mashed garlic, and finally sprinkled some green onions.
When the family was told to give it a taste test, they were full of praise.
“Perfect,” Liu Guixia said with a smile. “It can be a dish at the wedding banquet tomorrow. We have enough ice at home. Everything tastes better after being chilled, especially in the summer. Tomorrow’s wedding banquet will be more lively with this meal. Jiang Yue is the best at cooking..”
