Liu Sanye looked at the drama of you chasing me and running away in the cafeteria, laughing until he coughed, and his slightly narrowed eyes were filled with unnoticeable joy.
The laughter passed through Qiushui River and reached Qiushui Village on the other side of the river. Many people walked out of their homes and stood by the river, looking at the other side.
In their opinion, the houses built there are not as good as their pigsties. They only eat coarse grains they don’t want and plant land they don’t want. What’s there to be happy about! Sure enough, they are people from remote rural areas.
I have seen the world and treat it as a treasure even if I give it some rubbish!
The laughter stopped for a while. Everyone was weaving bamboo fences, making beds, and whittling bamboo to make traps. Everyone was busy with their own business, even the children were standing by to help.
Pick up the bad beans and prepare them for soaking for a while to sprout the beans.
Early on the next morning, Liu Xingzhi took the two of them, who had been spanked, to West Street to buy some meat, eggs, vegetables, etc. Yunxi stayed to catch fish with Liu Feng and Liu Huo, while Liu Yi started
Keep making tofu.
When I soaked the bean sprouts yesterday, I also soaked the tofu. One pound of beans can make about four pounds of tofu. I soaked ten pounds last night, half of which was used to make tofu and half of which was used to make dried tofu.
The soaked beans must first be ground into a pulp using a stone mill. In modern times, these can be replaced by a wall breaking machine, but here they can only be ground manually. Fortunately, there is not much to do, and their group is still young and middle-aged.
There are quite a few and can be done in half a day.
Boil the soy milk in water, stirring while boiling to avoid scorching the pot. After boiling, filter it through gauze, set the bean dregs aside, and the rest is the soy milk. When the soy milk cools down a little, add a little brine in it.
Let it sit for a while and it will turn into tofu curd.
During this period, the temperature needs to be controlled at all times. After all the soy milk has turned into tofu curds, put it in a cage, wrap it with gauze, press it with stones, and let it sit for a while. The tofu will be ready! The method of making dried tofu is similar to that of tofu.
, before putting it in the basket, according to the thickness of the dried tofu you want to make, fix it with a layer of tofu curd and a layer of gauze, choose a relatively heavier stone slab and press it on it.
After half an hour, take out the tofu and dried tofu. The dried tofu should be spread on the board to dry. If you want it to be stronger, you need to dry it longer!
When Liu Xingzhi and others came back, the fish from Yunxi River had been caught. The fish in Qiushui River were not big, but the braised small fish and a layer of pancakes still tasted good.
Fresh pork, part braised in braise, part served with radish and cabbage, stuffed and wrapped into rows of ingot-like dumplings. Yunxi fried a portion of Mapo tofu, using the Mapo tofu sauce from the supermarket and the eggs.
I fried a dried mushroom, made braised tofu and dried beans with braised ingredients, and then mixed a fungus, and then they were all served on the table. There were not many dishes. In addition to dumplings, I also made some steamed buns with noodles, which was enough for everyone.
Eat open.
The seventy people were divided into seven seats. Most of them were standing because the stools had not yet been arranged. But these people did not pay attention to this. As long as there was food, it did not matter whether they were standing or sitting!
There were stools at the table of Mr. Liu and the others, and he originally asked Yunxi to come over, but Yunxi didn't want to go, and instead sat with Xiaobao, Mrs. Liu and the others in their arms.
There were two bowls of stewed eggs in front of Xiaobao and Xiaoya. Yunxi made them on his own stove when he went back to his room. Two drops of sesame oil were dropped on them. The two children watched eagerly from the moment they sat down.
"Third daughter-in-law, just keep it for yourself and eat slowly. The two of them have enough to eat!" Mrs. Liu complained and said to Mrs. Xu: "Your brothers and sisters are good, you must remember, don't be like a certain
People, be a white-eyed wolf!" After saying that, he gave Ye a deep look.
Since Mrs. Ye was silent last time, she has been invisible. She doesn't care about anything except eating. It's really hard for Liu Dalang to be both a father and a mother. If it weren't for Mrs. Liu and Mr. Xu's help, it would be too big to have a few more children.
Some, except Xiaoya, can take care of themselves, so that he will not be overwhelmed.
However, men are somewhat careless about taking care of their children. Xiaoya looks not only dirtier than before, but also a lot thinner than before.
"Third Aunt, this is so smooth and delicious!" Xiaobao took a bite, and his grape-like eyes suddenly shone. He took a spoonful and handed it to Yun Xi's mouth, and whispered: "Third Aunt, hurry up.
Try it, it’s really delicious, I tell you, I won’t let anyone else eat it for her!”
Yun Xi smiled and kissed him on the face, and whispered: "Third Aunt has eaten. You can just eat this little treasure by yourself. Third Aunt still has it. I'll give you another one tonight, okay?"
Xiaobao looked at Yunxi with bright eyes, nodding his little head, like a chicken pecking at rice, looking cute.
"Third daughter-in-law, is this tofu? How can it taste like meat?" Mr. Liu took a bite of braised tofu and felt it was tender and juicy. It melted as soon as he took a sip. It was not much worse than that plate of braised pork!
Old Han Liu, Uncle Liu and others also agree with it, but Xu Dashu and the others prefer the taste of braised dried beans. The more they chew, the more delicious it becomes. Whether they are cooking or making snacks, it feels good!
"Sister-in-law, can we also sell braised tofu, braised dried tofu and the like?" Liu Shilang didn't hesitate to eat while talking. Whether it was braised pork or braised tofu, he thought it was very delicious, at least
Better than their daily pickles and whole grain porridge.
When he asked, many people around looked at Yun Xi. After all, this thing was made by Yun Xi. She had already obtained many secret recipes before. How embarrassed was she if she continued to ask for it?
Yun Xi didn't think too much and nodded: "It can be done, but the braised tofu and dried tofu cannot be combined with the meat, otherwise the braised pork will have a bean flavor and affect the original flavor of the braised pork."
"My nephew-in-law is right! Many people don't like the taste of beans! However, the braised tofu and braised dried tofu don't have a strong bean flavor. My niece-in-law must have dealt with it, right?" Liu Yi is an expert in tofu.
Just eat it and you'll find the key.
Yun Xi nodded, "Blank it with hot water to remove the bean smell!"
Liu Yi raised his thumb and said, "A piece of tofu costs about two or three cents. After braised, it can be sold for six or seven cents! It's far more cost-effective than selling tofu!"
"That's OK!" Mr. Liu decided: "Then when we sell braised pork, we also sell some braised tofu and dried tofu. We can't add more! If we don't have to make tofu in the first place, I don't want to add this!"
Seeing everyone's confusion, Liu Sanye continued: "I know everyone is anxious to make money, but there are only a few of us, a dozen and a half-year-old children, and we can only help with the basics. We still need to continue to build fences and open up wasteland.
Excluding those who cook, those who make clothes and quilts, and those who burn coal! With so many tasks, most of the manpower has been divided! The remaining people do so many businesses, which is already very hard. If you add more, your body will not be able to hold on!
