Hezhou people generally like stewed vegetables. I'm no exception! Love stewed vegetables, especially the bean curd powder in stewed vegetables. The bean curd is so tender that it melts at the entrance, and the refreshing way of water powder can shake the mechanical powder strips several streets so far! We zhuang zi are in northern gulfs, and there are many small villages in the vicinity, which can be counted as central villages. The villages of the northwest are not as big as huaxi village and the already urbanized nanjie village, but there are also several decent small shops and two rural clinics business start up hong kong. And a mosque! All around the mosque are hui people, and not far from the mosque there is a shop selling tofu and water powder! The layout of the front and back home is the same as that of many handwork workshops in linxia. Now gouache tofu shop door stands a piece of blue caigang watts do brand, under the base with Angle steel welding, the most eye-catching is written in white paint "gouache tofu" several characters, at first glance, like blue sky white clouds floating. When I was a child, the brand was made of a rectangular corrugated paper removed from the old cardboard box. On the top, it was written in large Chinese characters with writing brush. Hang with the rope on the wall, when wind up the CARDS sway in the wind, like a flying kite, the only difference is how to fly also cannot leave the wall, and the wall slap! It's more like the flag of the wine house of jingyanggang in water margin. Uncle do tofu gouache is hui, had a beard and wearing the white prayer cap, apron, wearing the blue cloth very white skin, especially the hand because of often do gouache tofu is especially white! When you go to buy water powder tofu, you can sometimes see the scene of making water powder apartments hk. Remember as a child with wooden scoops, now use is made of aluminum, but the same is a big iron pot of boiling water at the breathtaking water vapor, the starch in the flap and the hui uncle colander regiment "were applauded, pa; Slap, slap "The beat. Colander as beating up and down slightly shaking, starch group because of the flap and gravity into his white line from the bottom of the colander, next to the uncle's father with a pair of specially made two full scale in the pot to a long wooden chopsticks stirring the forming of vermicelli. The temperature of boiling water is milk white starch produced wonderful change, become already smooth and tenacious transparent water powder. Due to curiosity, I will give special attention to the process of doing gouache, don't understand why outflow from the colander starch just leave it with very thick enough as thick as the index of adult, and slowly thin to pot near the surface is a thin liquid powder! What happened during this time? Why was the leaking spoon not as thick as the starch coming out of the water? Keep thinking! It wasn't until high school that I learned about gravitational acceleration that I understood the secret. The scene of making tofu has never been seen before. When you buy tofu, you will cut a piece of tofu of the size you need from the prepared bean curd. Uncle has a great job is you want a few jins of tofu a knife is a few jins. They are all townspeople, so the amount of tofu and water powder they buy is sufficient. Raise your head (the scale is not horizontal but slightly upward) and add a small piece of tofu or a few wisps of water powder. Sometimes he says "don't give it to me" when he says something is a few cents short of money, but if you have more than that, he will look for it for you, or add some water powder and tofu. In this economy of penny-pinching, sometimes feel that uncle is very stupid WSET awards, but the hui people are also smart in business! In this era of industrialization and mechanization of hands workshop's life is really fragile, can survive by just that little in cross river landscape unique taste, and the strong human feelings and the economics of honesty. Maybe one day we in the village of gouache bean curd with square also disappear like many of the traditional manual mill, but I really hope our village gouache bean curd with square never disappear, because that there are delicacies in gouache pieces of tofu and curling replaced the taste of home, still have that sways like a kite in the memory of corrugated sign!
