Master Overlord
Chapter 49
Lingfeng castle, Arthur takes Thorne and Leah into the kitchen.
"Have the soybeans been soaked?"
"Go back to Lord Arthur. According to your instructions, everything has been soaked."
In reply was the chef of the castle, named Nutt, with his wife Susan and their sons and daughters standing beside him.
Baking bread is a very important craft, and Baker is a very important occupation in the city.
The taste of the same wheat flour baked by different bakers is so different that it can be two kinds of food.
The nutts have been the baker of Lingfeng Castle since his grandfather. After his father, he is now the chef of Lingfeng castle.
Everyone in the castle praised Nutt''s craftsmanship, and Nutt was very proud to have such a glorious career. Now he has begun to train his son.
But today, their family is a little uneasy.
After the LORD had breakfast, he asked Miss Leia to give them an order to soak 50 kilograms of soybeans. In the afternoon, the LORD would make a delicious food himself.
In recent months, the Lord has become more picky than before. He has asked for food several times. Now he has to do it himself!
This made Nutt''s family very frightened and thought they had made a big mistake. After scolding his wife and daughter, Nutt and his son specially checked the bread kiln several times.
Arthur went to the wooden basin soaked with soybeans, reached out and picked up a soybeans. With his fingertips, he easily broke the soybeans.
"Yes, just right." Arthur nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes." Knut stood aside and nodded quickly.
Looking at the cautious nutts, Arthur smiled and said, "don''t worry, I''m very satisfied with your food. Today I''m going to cook a delicious food myself to make sure you haven''t seen it."
"You can just watch it. It''s very simple. You''ll have another housekeeping skill in the future."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Sir Arthur!" the Knuts immediately relaxed and agreed.
"Lord Arthur, do you only use soybeans?" Knut asked curiously.
"And sour cream soup. Have you prepared the sour cream and tools?"
According to Arthur''s original intention, what he wants most is marinated tofu, but in this world, with theout tofu, brine is rare.
Gypsum is easy to get. Shanghe town doesn''t lack this thing at all, but it''s too troublesome to order tofu with edible gypsum.
But fortunately, there is a plant called sauerkraut. The soured soup can also be used to order tofu.
"Ready, all ready, Lord Arthur." as he said, Nutter ran aside and untied the big pot used to cook broth, which was full of sour soup.
"Lord Arthur, I asked Susan to prepare it specially. Every vegetable leaf is washed clean. Do you think it''s enough? I''ll let her prepare it right away."
The slightly fat Susan stood respectfully aside.
The sour soup Castle cooks a lot every day, but it has never been used to make any food, but to wash clothes and pots. Sauerkraut can be eaten, but it is the food of the poor. The nobility never eats it.
Beans are also the food of the poor. These 50 kilograms of soybeans are basically all the inventory of the castle.
They seldom use soybeans to make food. First, it''s not delicious. Second, it''s easy to fart if they eat too many soybeans.
This will undermine the nobility and elegance.
Looking at a large pot of sour soup, Arthur nodded: "enough. Where''s the stone mill? Have you cleaned it?"
"Washed, Sir Arthur, look?" Knut ran aside and pointed to the water stained stone mill.
Knowing that Arthur might do it himself, Nutt and his son washed the stone mill three or four times, in every corner, to ensure that there was no dust and wheat flour!
Arthur nodded, checked the filter screen again, and began to pick up the basin for soaking soybeans.
"Lord Arthur, you let me do it and I''ll do it!" Nutter quickly picked up another basin and gave Thorne and Leah no chance to help.
"Leah, come on." Arthur called Leah to his side. "Later, you put the yellow beans in the water into the broken plate, and I''ll be responsible for grinding."
"Sir, let Leah push the mill." Leah said quickly.
"Sir, let me come. Just stand aside and watch."
"Sir, let''s leave it to us. I''ll grind it. Susan catches the soybeans. You can rest and command us!"
......
"Go!" Arthur waved back a few people. "Do you think it''s coolie? It''s fun! Self-made food can make people have more appetite! Knut, take a good look."
"Yes, Lord Arthur."
Fun? It''s a strange hobby of the nobility.
They never found any fun in doing these things, and he didn''t hear what delicious food sour soup and soybeans could make.
Back aside, Knut looked at Arthur carefully.
Anyway, as long as the food made by Lord Arthur is delicious! Nutt thought.
After skimming a few floating beans, Arthur asked Leah to scoop them into the millstone, while he slowly pushed the millstone.
Grinding is no fun, but watching soybeans turn into milky white soybean residue milk and thinking that soybean residue milk can turn into tofu later, Arthur couldn''t help feeling comfortable and relaxed, with an unspeakable sense of kindness.
He misses the food in his hometown.
With the cooperation of the two people, the original two pots of soybeans soon became soybean dregs milk with white bubbles.
"Come on, move these over and scoop them into the filter screen!"
Although his hands were sour, Arthur looked excited and his happiness could be seen clearly from his face.
A layer of filter screen separates soybean milk and soybean residue.
Arthur shook and pulled the filter screen. After another busy work, he finally filtered all the soybean milk into the pot. Finally, I pressed the filter bag with force and didn''t let go of any soybean milk!
"Make a fire, make a fire first!" Arthur quickly ordered, looking at a pot full of milk white soybean milk.
The soybean milk in the pot was gradually heated, and the bubbles and oil floated up. After boiling for two minutes, Arthur put out the fire.
"Look carefully!"
After the soybean milk in the pot cooled a little, Arthur took a thin wooden stick and looked like he wanted to show real technology.
Arthur gently inserted the stick from the side of the pot. When everyone thought he was going to stir, they saw that he had gently lifted the stick, and a yellow film was connected.
"It''s called bean skin. It can be dried and eaten later!"
Looking at the bean skin he picked up, Arthur looked happy. He has seen others make tofu many times, but he does it himself. This is the first time!
You can''t take too much soybean skin, otherwise the soybean milk will be very thin and you can''t make tofu.
Holding a large spoonful of sour soup, Arthur looked at the people proudly: "all eyes open. Now is the time to witness miracles!"
Leah nodded seriously except for Thorne.
Under the gaze of several people, Arthur poured three tablespoons of sour soup into the pot, stirred it and then stopped.
They all gathered together and stood by the pot, looking down into the pot like Arthur.
An amazing scene began to happen!
Under the gaze of several people, soybean milk, which was still like water, changed almost instantly. A white gel of aggregation, the milk white soybean milk began to separate into two substances.
"It''s changed! Lord Arthur, it''s changed!" Nutt stretched his neck aside, and they all looked surprised.
Arthur smiled proudly: "don''t worry, it will take a while!"
After waiting a little, Arthur scooped out several bowls of bean curd. After solidifying for a while, he scooped most of the bean curd into the prepared mold.
A pot of bean curd is divided into three.
After handling the tofu flowers in the mold, Arthur immediately asked Nutt to take spicy spices and sprinkle them in several bowls of tofu brain.
Arthur took a bowl and scooped it directly.
The preparation is rough, the bean curd is not tender enough, and the spices are not complete - but this is the most delicious bean curd that Arthur has ever eaten.
"Eat, taste it all! It''s not delicious when it''s cold!"
"Yes, yes!"
As soon as Arthur told them to eat, several people quickly picked up the bowl. Looking at Arthur''s happy face, they had already swallowed greedily.
"It''s delicious!"
"Delicious! Delicious!"
"It''s too, too soft. I swallowed it at once! I haven''t even bitten it."
"My Lord, this thing you made is really delicious."
The nutts praised them repeatedly. They really felt delicious, which had never been better.
Thorne didn''t even bother to use a spoon. He drank bean curd with a bowl of squeaky, and his face was seriously praised.
Leah looked at Arthur admiringly with a bowl in her hand.
"It''s nothing. I haven''t done well enough. You can improve it in the future." Arthur looked proud and liked you who haven''t seen the world!
Arthur directly made Douhua dipped in water from the Douhua in the pot.
As for the tofu in the mold, in addition to making fresh tofu, Arthur is also going to make tofu milk and dried beans.
At dinner, Arthur specially invited the housekeeper and the bachelor. The old man will like such food.
