Chapter 43: Restarting the Live Streaming
After a day of teaching and the matter on Starnet was successfully resolved, Ruan Tang went home in a happy mood.
When Ruan Tang arrived home, he found that the tofu that He Yunyi had mentioned had arrived, and after being signed for by the smart butler Xiaobai, he put it in the crisper. He opened the fresh-keeping cabinet and found that there were two kinds of tofu sent by the Academy of Sciences, namely old tofu and soft tofu. There were two whole boards, which were sufficient and very fresh. It seems that tofu can be used to make some delicious tofu for today's dinner.
Along with the tofu, there were also a dozen fresh-keeping boxes. Ruan Tang wondered why He Yunyi would send him a fresh-keeping box, but after opening it, he found out that it was a specially designed crisper box, which was divided into several small boxes of different sizes. The grid can better separate several dishes and rice. It is similar to the common lunch box in the previous life, but the airtightness and heat preservation effect are better. There are even small details specially designed to prevent the soup from spilling out. It can be seen that the wisdom of future people should not be underestimated.
Ruan Tang has not broadcast live for two days, and he always feels that something is missing. He really misses those lovely viewers, and also likes their real and enthusiastic feedback when they taste the food he made.
Now that the matter has been resolved, he can restart the live broadcast from tonight.
After thinking for a while, Ruan Tang logged into his Weibo account and posted a brief live broadcast preview.
"@Ruan Tang V: Live broadcast at seven o'clock tonight."
[@Baomu can't hold it: Aww, run to the live broadcast room to watch!]
[@Miaomiao likes to eat all the dishes of the anchor: Great, my dear anchor is back!]
[I want to eat late at night@: I can finally eat delicious food/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ Days without live broadcasts, life is really worse than death!]
Before seven o'clock, Ruan Tang started the live broadcast on time after preparing all the other ingredients and ingredients needed.
As a result, as soon as he entered the live broadcast room, he was dazzled by all kinds of colorful gift special effects, and the barrage was even denser. Even though he had set the mask level and the audience's speech frequency to the highest limit, he could still see it. Very reluctantly. He glanced at the number of people online, and it turned out to have exceeded 500 million!
"Hello everyone, I'm the anchor Ruan Tang. Today I'm going to bring you Mapo Tofu, Sweet and Sour Crispy Tofu and Shrimp Tofu Soup." One spicy dish, one sweet and sour, and one salty and fresh The soup should be able to satisfy the preferences of various audiences.
[A touch of medicinal fragrance: I really miss the beginning! Anchor We miss you!]
[I miss Jingjing: ah ah ah ah little brother my marriage! The sound is also nice! prprprpr]
[Yangui: Tofu! Is this what the Academy of Sciences calls new processed ingredients?]
"Yes, tofu is processed from soybeans. It is a semi-finished product. With a little cooking, it can be made into a variety of delicious food. It is already on the shelves in the mall. You can buy it and learn how to make it in the future." While talking, Ruan Tang started to move his hands, "What I'm going to make now is mapo tofu, and the main ingredients I need are soft tofu and beef."
Ruan Tang said and took out a piece of beef tendon, Chop it into minced meat with a knife, and put it in a small bowl next to it for later use. Then cut the tender tofu into small cubes, put cold water into the pot, add a little salt, cook for two or three minutes, and remove it. This will not only remove the beany smell, but also make the tofu less brittle, and the taste will become softer Tltender and smooth.
Heat up the oil pan, first sauté the onion, minced ginger, minced garlic, crushed peppercorns, etc., so that the audience will not eat the prickly ash when they eat it, Ruan Tang filters out these ingredients after sautéing , then add the minced beef, stir-fry slowly until it changes color, add with soy sauce, then add chili sauce, and stir-fry until the red oil comes out. The spicy smell wrapped in the salty aroma of the beef, and the red oil was bubbling in the pot, making the audience a little bit overwhelmed.
Next, Ruan Tang drained the tofu again, put it into the pot, adjusted it to a low temperature and cooked it slowly, and then added water and starch three times to thicken it. The tofu is cooked quickly, the surface is already covered with red oil, and the small pores on the top quickly expand and shrink, absorbing the salty sauce.
Tofu cannot be turned over with a shovel to avoid breaking it, so Ruan Tang gently shook the oil pan to let the ingredients be heated as evenly as possible, and then turned the pan a few times so that all the ingredients and seasonings could be fully mixed. Sprinkle chopped green onion and pepper powder when cooking, and the spicy and delicious Mapo Tofu is complete.
He put the mapo tofu into an open flat plate. The red soup is dotted with jade-like tofu, with a few bright green spots in the middle. The minced beef is fried until golden and crisp. It is shiny and moist, and you can feel how delicious it is just by looking at it, not to mention the spicy and delicious taste.
The audience had long been attracted by the enticing aroma and salivated. Seeing that Ruan Tang had finished serving dishes, they rushed forward without waiting for him to greet him.
[Baomu can't hold it: It's so spicy! so fresh! So tender! It's very yummy! (ˉ﹃ˉ)]
[Meow likes to eat all the dishes of the anchor: Wow, this thing called tofu tastes good! It's so fragrant, I think if I have this dish with rice, I can eat two big bowls!]
[Passionate y1 Gu: Hey, I'm not very good at spicy food, it's so spicy that my lips feel like they're going to burn, but it's really delicious! Eating while crying...]
Mapo tofu is characterized by the eight characters "numbing, spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, fresh, and alive", especially spicy are the most important. The so-called spicy, of course, refers to Pepper, spicy should actually be fermented bean sauce made with chili and fermented soy beans, but in the absence of fermented soy sauce, the chili sauce made by Ruan Tang himself is also very strong.
When everyone tasted it, Ruan Tang started to make the second dish, "Now what I want to make is sweet and sour crispy tofu, the main ingredient is old tofu." Worried that the audience would not be able to tell the difference between the two kinds of tofu, he also explained: "Although these two types are tofu, they have different tastes and textures, and the suitable methods are also different. Old tofu is rougher, and a lot of pores can be seen in the cut section, and the color is also yellowish. , harder and more elastic, more suitable for frying, deep-frying and braised, not suitable for stir-frying, but it has a higher calcium content."
"Soften tofu is more delicate and has a high water content." He pointed to the plate of mapo tofu and said, "You have also seen it just now. Its surface looks very tender, its color is white, and its texture is delicate. It is suitable for making hot pot, cooking soup and steaming." Someone immediately asked in the barrage: "What is hot pot?"
Ruan Tang replied: "Hot pot is also a very special delicacy. It is easy to make and suitable for sharing with many people. I will also make this live broadcast when I have the opportunity. Now we start to make the next dish."
He first used vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, starch and a small amount of salt make a sweet and sour sauce and put it aside for later use. Then wash the old tofu, cut it into small cubes about three centimeters, and then use paper to absorb the moisture on the surface of the tofu. Next, heat up the oil pan, put in the tofu cubes, fry until golden, then take it out, pour off the excess oil in the pan, leaving only the bottom oil, then put the fried tofu in again, and then pour the sweet and sour sauce Sauce, cook slowly with medium and low temperature to taste, and finally collect the juice at high temperature.
[Follow the host to learn how to cook: ah, this sweet and sour tofu is really delicious. I thought that old tofu would be very old, but unexpectedly the taste is also very tender and smooth. The most important thing is that it is so convenient to make! I'm going to try it out when I get back!]
[Mixia: Delicious.]
[wuminly: Woohoo, it's really delicious... Although I'm handicapped, I think I can learn this dish!]
The golden and crispy tofu skin is wrapped in a thick sweet and sour sauce, and the soft and tender tofu core is inside. One bite, the taste and texture are really worth mentioning.
Seeing that everyone liked this dish, Ruan Tang was also in a good mood, and then said: "The method of making tofu and fresh shrimp soup is relatively simple. The main ingredients are tender tofu and shrimp."
He cut the tofu into small cubes, and then to process the shrimp, remove their heads, shells, and strings. Everyone is familiar with and accepts this treatment method now, but no one said anything more, but some people said that this is still a bit disgusting, and he really only needs to be responsible for eating.
Ruan Tang poured half a pot of water into the soup pot, then put ginger slices and peeled shrimps to cook together, and took them out immediately after the shrimp meat slowly turned red. Set up another oil pan, pour a small amount of cooking oil, sauté the scallions and minced garlic until fragrant, add tofu cubes, add water to boil, then add shrimp meat, season with salt and a little pepper, and finally cover the pot and simmer for five minutes.
After the soup is out of the pot, the jade-white tofu and red shrimp complement each other, and the soup turns translucent beige, and the green onion sprinkled at the end is fresh and green, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
[Siyue Mingjiu flicks its feathers: I like this soup, the shrimp is very tender, the tofu is also very slippery, the soup is so fresh!]
[Gu Yanqing: It's simply not so delicious!]
[ID29238510: This is the first time I've watched a live broadcast. I've always heard that the host's cooking skills are amazing, and even simple ingredients can be made into delicious food. I thought it was just an exaggerated rumor, but it turned out to be true! Three of the same ingredients can produce completely different tastes, which is really great! Offer crystal flowers!]
[Baomu can't hold it: I only care about whether there will be a lottery today... QAQ]
[Miao Miao loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor: Hey, I haven't won a lottery for a long time. Crying...]
[Yunxiuwu Moonlight: Begging to win the lottery!]
Watching the audience began to pray for winning the prize again, Ruan Tang couldn't help but smiled and said: "Because today's dishes are relatively simple to make, twenty lucky audience members will be selected and given away tofu set meals."
[Xiaobaibubai: 360° Tomma Spinning, jumping, spinning sideways for three-and-a-half weeks, then tiger landing, begging to win the prize!]
[Arinbs: The winning rate is one in 200 million, my God!]
[Flying over at low altitude: Seeking to win the prize...]
"Congratulations to Miaomiao who loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor, Granny Meng, Gu Yanqing, Yunxiuwu Moonlight... and twenty lucky viewers, because there is no food for two dishes and one soup. You can cook some rice while waiting for the courier, and you can eat it when the courier arrives. The courier will be sent later, please remember to check it, and see you tomorrow." After announcing the list of winners, Ruan Tang shut down the live broadcast amidst wailing.
The fresh-keeping box that He Yunyi sent him just came in handy. Two dishes and one soup can be put together instead of being divided into several boxes like before.
With Xiaobai's help, he quickly packed 22 boxes. In addition to the lunch boxes for the winning audience, of course, the two He brothers' meals were indispensable. The two of them had more generous dishes, and they also came with two boxes of lunch.
He Yunchen has been busy dealing with things on Starnet these two days, and has accumulated a lot of work, so he stayed in the military department to work overtime today. He Yunyi was busy researching new ingredients, so he was also working overtime, so Ruan Tang directly sent their lunch boxes to their workplaces.
He watched the courier robot leave with the things, closed the door, sat back on the sofa and thought: If you want to make hot pot later, maybe you can invite the two of them together?
