After breakfast, He Yunxi went to make tofu first, leaving some tofu brains for lunch, and the rest to make tofu and press it on. Then he went to Liu's moxibustion, and after finishing it, he soaked it in tiger bone wine. Waiting for it
It was almost noon when we finished this.
The tofu was almost ready. He Yunxi cut two large pieces of tofu, made pan-fried tofu, mapo tofu, and steamed tofu eggs.
She did more of each item and saved a portion, and the family finished the remaining three dishes.
Not long after dinner, there was a knock on the door and Wang Yougen's call: "Boss Lu, Boss Lu."
Lu Yan went to open the door and saw Wang Yougen and the waiter from Baiweilou outside.
"Boss Lu, this person said he was looking for you." Wang Yougen said to Lu Yan.
"Master Lu." He Yan greeted Lu Yan.
Lu Yan nodded towards him and thanked Wang Yougen: "Thank you, Uncle Yougen, for leading the way."
"Hey, what's there to thank you for?" Wang Yougen saw that Lu Yan knew the man and turned around to go back. "I'll go back first if it's okay."
"Uncle Yougen, wait." He Yunxi came out of the kitchen, holding a wooden basin in his hand, with several white and tender things lying in it. She handed the basin to Wang Yougen, "Uncle Yougen, I made this myself."
It would be good if you take some of the tofu back and cook it just like this."
"What kind of intention is this?" Wang Yougen waved his hand.
"What's here is just two dishes." He Yunxi put the basin into his hand, "You and the fourth aunt took care of our family in the past and brought some food to our family. This is what we made ourselves.
, what’s wrong with giving some to you.”
"Uncle Yougen, we have eaten this tofu many times. It is very, very delicious. It will not cause stomachache. We just ate it!" Lu Yunqing patted his belly and said with a smile.
Wang Yougen was a little surprised. They were still eating at noon?
His expression was too obvious, so He Yunxi smiled and explained: "Some of the kids in the family are sick or injured. Let's have an extra meal at noon to see if we can recover faster and the kids will grow better."
Wang Yougen thought about the current situation of the Lu family. They were indeed sick and injured. The little ones had not grown well in the past two years. They were so thin and small that it made people feel distressed just to look at them.
In the past, He didn't care about how many people there were, and the house was in a mess even half a year after her marriage. Fortunately, now that she has settled down to live a happy life, the house immediately looks different.
Now I know that I feel sorry for my family members, and the Lu family's life will be better in the future.
Wang Yougen finally left with the tofu. He Yan said to Lu Yan and He Yunxi: "Master Lu, let's leave early?"
"Okay, let's go get the things."
He Yunxi went back to the kitchen. She had already put the prepared dishes into the basket, and also put four pieces of raw tofu. After thinking about it, she put the bean paste on the stove into it.
He Yan was curious about what she brought out. A gust of wind blew over just now, and he smelled a delicious smell.
Unfortunately, the basket was covered with cloth and he couldn't see what was inside.
The three of them went down the mountain and there was a carriage parked at the foot of the mountain. He Yan did not come in and sat on the carriage outside with the coachman.
The carriage was indeed much faster, and half an hour later, they arrived at Baiwei Tower.
At this time, the busy period at noon has passed, and Yuan Yuan and chef Ding Shan are already waiting for them. Seeing Lu Yan and He Yunxi coming in with baskets, Yuan Yuan greeted enthusiastically: "Brother Lu is here, let's
Let’s talk upstairs.”
They entered the private room. Lu Yan put the basket and bucket on the table and untied the cloth on them. Only then did He Yan see what kind of dishes he was enjoying along the way.
"This is pan-fried tofu, this is Mapo tofu, and this is steamed tofu egg." He Yunxi took out the dishes and the tofu pieces, "This is tofu, these dishes are made of this. These dishes are all
Once it's cold, you can heat it up and try it again. I make these with pork, and they taste a little greasy after they're cold. They'll taste better when they're warmed up."
"Okay, Old Ding, take it and heat it up." Yuan Yuan told Dingshan. Dingshan and He Yan took the dishes down and returned soon after they were heated.
"Lao Yuan, this tofu is a good thing." Dingshan said to Yuan Yuan when he came in.
When Yuan Yuan heard what his old partner said, he looked forward to the taste of the dish even more. He picked up a piece of fried tofu with his chopsticks. With just one bite, the tofu completely conquered him.
He ate a piece of Mapo Tofu. The spicy and numb taste coupled with the tender texture of the tofu made him instantly amazed.
Just like Dingshan said, this tofu is a good thing!
He took another bite of steamed tofu and egg. The delicious and tender taste made him almost swallow his tongue.
"This tofu is indeed a good thing." Yuan Yuan exclaimed, looking at the white and tender tofu with love in his eyes, "Now, our business is a bit difficult."
He Yunxi was surprised. Could it be that he planned to take it by force?
She subconsciously looked at Lu Yan. Lu Yan's expression did not change, so she knew there was no need to worry.
"I thought it was just an ordinary dish at first, but now it seems that this dish far exceeds my expectation. I want you to exclusively supply it to us, is that okay?" Yuan Yuan said, "Of course, I will also increase the price.
.”
Lu Yan looked at He Yunxi to see what she meant.
He Yunxi thought for a while, shook his head and refused: "Tofu is also a dish, or a staple food, for many people. It should not only be found in restaurants, because there will be too few people who can eat it."
Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that He Yunxi would think so much.
He was a businessman, so the first thing he thought about was of course an exclusive monopoly. But as a village girl, she was thinking about the lives of the common people. This caught him off guard, and it also hit him.
"It's Yuan who is being narrow-minded." Yuan Yuan raised his hand, "Then can you supply it exclusively to Baiweilou first?"
"That's okay." He Yunxi said, "I can provide Baiwei Lou exclusively for three months. Three months is enough for you to surpass Guangwei Lou."
Yuan Yuan smiled, it seemed that she knew something about what happened in the two restaurants.
"Then the price..."
He Yunxi stretched out a hand: "One piece of tofu, four copper coins. When it is no longer an exclusive offer, one piece of tofu will cost three copper coins."
She calculated at home that a piece of tofu weighs about a pound, and a pound of beans can make about three or four pounds of tofu. A pound of good beans only costs three cents, which is equivalent to the tofu made from a pound of beans that can be sold for twelve copper coins.
Even after deducting the cost of gypsum, the profit is three to four times.
This can be considered a huge profit.
This price was much lower than Yuan Yuan expected. It was beyond his expectations. He blurted out and asked: "Is this price a little low?"
He Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. The shopkeeper was so stupid today. He thought the price of things was too low?
