The taste of hairy tofu is similar to that of ordinary tofu, and there is no special odor. Stinky tofu smells bad, but it tastes good in your mouth.

Who invented hairy tofu? There are different legends about the origin of hairy tofu. There are generally two versions.

One is that Zhu Yuanzhang's family was poor when he was a child. When he was in grinding bean curd, he drove the cattle to a rich family, and a long-term laborer pitied him, so he often stole some tofu for him to eat until his parents died and he became a monk. On one occasion, he was delayed for a few days because he was busy with the temple fair. When he came back, he took out tofu from the haystack, which had a layer of white hair on it, but he was too frugal to throw it away. He fried tofu and ate it. Who thinks it's delicious? Some versions of this legend believe that Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated and fled to Huizhou. When the people fled, he was hungry and ate long-haired tofu hidden in the haystack. But when it comes to becoming an emperor later, he often asks the chef to make him hairy tofu. There is no difference between the two versions.

Another legend is that once upon a time, there was a tofu mill in Beijing, and its products were particularly good, which was on the imperial diet list. At that time, there was a champion named Sun Jiading in Anhui, and he also presented a pair of couplets to this tofu shop, embedding the name of Wang Zhihe who invented hairy tofu in the couplets. This Wang Zhihe is a juren at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. At that time, I took the imperial examination and failed repeatedly. Finally, he simply gave up going to Beijing to catch the exam and concentrated on running the family-owned tofu business.

Selling tofu is most afraid of hot weather and few customers. If you can't sell tofu, you will lose money. The weather suddenly turned hot in Wang Zhihe, and the tofu could not be sold. He had to spread the leftover tofu on the straw mat and sprinkle it with salt water, in order to prepare food and hope to prolong the storage time. Three days later, the tofu became sticky and grew long fluff. Wang Zhihe wanted to throw them away, but they smelled a little fragrant, so he dared to fry them and dip them in Chili, and the result was very delicious. So it was grandly launched in the tofu mill and was loved by neighbors. Finally, it became more and more popular.

The origin of stinky mandarin fish is similar to that of hairy tofu. It is said that it is also a fishmonger who is afraid that the fish will go bad, so he puts salt on it and carries it away in an urn. However, in hot weather, fish will stink after six or seven days. Only the cheeks are still red, the scales have not fallen off, and the fish has not deteriorated. Instead, it has become a fragrant and smelly mandarin fish.

Hairy tofu is not suitable for gout patients: gout patients can't eat tofu either, because the pathogenesis of gout is purine metabolism disorder, and hyperuricemia is an important feature. In other words, gout patients are forbidden to eat foods containing high protein and fat.

People with bad stomach: people who are prone to diarrhea, bloating and spleen deficiency can't eat more tofu.

Patients with peptic ulcer: patients with peptic ulcer should also try to eat less soy products in their daily lives, especially those with severe peptic ulcer, and should avoid eating soy products. This is because there are a lot of purines in bean products, which have the function of gastric juice secretion in vinegar chickens. If the gastric juice is secreted in large quantities, it will stimulate the gastric mucosa and lead to the aggravation of the ulcer.

People who take tetracycline drugs: If you are taking tetracycline drugs, don't eat tofu, because the food made of tofu contains more calcium and the gypsum made of brine contains more magnesium. Tetracycline will react with calcium and magnesium, reducing the sterilization effect.
