Jianshui Ancient City Roasted Tofu: a tofu workshop of six generations of inheritors, who have been on the "Tip of the Tongue of China"

Jianshui ancient called Lin'an City, once Lin'an Province is also quite prominent, and Tengchong, in the southwest border far from the political and cultural center of the Central Plains Dynasty, there will be such a small city with such a deep han culture, and now the prosperity has faded, leaving only the antique charm left in the streets and alleys of the ancient city.

Jianshui people's favorite delicious snack - grilled tofu

Although it has a long history, it is not very famous, and what really makes Jianshui into the public eye is the Chinese food on the tip of the tongue is the grilled tofu here, and it is said that in this small town where time has slowed down, eating and drinking is the right thing to do.

Grilled tofu allows the citizens of Jianshui Ancient City to sit calmly on the grilled tofu stall and eat tofu from getting up in the morning to before going to bed at night.

In addition to small tofu and tofu wrapped in pulp, there are other kinds of barbecue, and the most different from other barbecues in other places is this form of sitting around the stove, you can see that the process of baking food actually has a sense of happiness!

Built in the early years of Ming Hongwu - Jianshui Ximen Dabanjing

Jianshui was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the ancient city retained many ancient buildings, and also retained a variety of wells, which are all over the ancient city and many are still in use. Among them, the most famous and must be seen is the West Gate Big Plate Well.

The West Gate Big Plate Well is in the alley, about 30 meters into it, it is an ancient well. Built in the early years of Ming Hongwu, this Ximen Dabanjing is the most famous well in Jianshui and even Yunnan. Walk down the stairs and walk into the big plate well, its "big" is indeed worthy of the name, the diameter is very large, more than 3 meters wide, the fence by the side of the well is made of six stone slabs inlaid with 6 stone pillars.

The water quality of this well is still very good, it looks very clear, and I saw many people on the spot to fetch water home, and they all took a large bucket of water, drew water up and then put it into the bucket. It is said that the water of this well is warm in winter and cool in summer, sweet and moist.

He is the 5th and 6th generation inheritor of Itai Tofu Factory

Jianshui County once remembered the Banjing Tofu Factory

Directly opposite the big itai is a long-established tofu shop called Zengji Banjing Tofu Factory, and there is a sign at the door that indicates that this shop has been on the "China on the Tip of the Tongue", and this shop uses tofu made of well water from the big itaijing. The picture shows Zeng Hongbin, the 5th generation inheritor of ZengJi Banjing Tofu Fang, and his son Zeng Fukang, the 6th generation inheritor.

Using well water to make tofu is a local specialty, because the water quality of Ximen Dabanjing is good, and the tofu made is particularly delicious, so the tofu of this house is very famous and supplied to stores and stalls throughout the city. Walking into the Zengji Banjing Tofu Factory, rows of small square tofu are placed on the shelves in an orderly manner, here is the workshop and the restaurant together, in the workshop, the workers make tofu on the spot, that is, the boiled tofu residue is wrapped in cloth into a square tofu.

The workers here are all skilled hands, and the operation process is that each piece of tofu is wrapped up in their hands for only 1 second. Plates of tofu products are made and then pressed with bricks.

Tofu is highly nutritious and low-fat, and its rich soy protein helps to enhance satiety and is conducive to weight loss. There are many tofu products sold in the store, like humus bamboo, bean paste, fried tofu skin that can be taken home, and there are tofu flowers, tofu residue, soy milk, fried tofu skin, etc. Here, the unified charge is 5 yuan, you can eat at will, it is really cheap!

I ate everything, the tofu flavor is particularly strong, especially with the bean paste fishing tofu residue, very good, ate two bowls, soy milk also drank two bowls.

Zeng Fukang, the 6th generation of the Zeng family, said: The Zeng family's Banjing Tofu Factory, which began to make tofu during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, has been making tofu for more than 130 years, and the current business of the tofu factory is mainly taken care of by him and his daughter-in-law, and now the development of e-commerce express delivery is in good condition.
