Joe's Farming

The journey to the city is long, so a meal will be provided on the boat.

When it was almost time for dinner, the captain came over with a smile and invited Qiao Yu.

"Boss Qiao, I bought some of your bean curds a while ago, and everyone loved it. This is how it's made... Would you like to come and take a look?"

The captain was embarrassed to say that the chef on his ship always added bean paste directly to the dishes and soup.

It tasted good at first, but became a bit greasy later on.

Moreover, they also went to Lingyun Villa to eat stir-fried dishes, and the taste was completely different from what they cooked.

Bai Ming was surprised and asked, "Brother Qiao, are you still the big boss?"

Qiao Yu waved her hand: "No, no, no, it's the captain who's giving me a compliment. I just like to cook, so I opened two small shops."

Gu Heng woke up when he heard the noise around him, or maybe he woke up from peeing. He looked up at Qiao Yu and started crying.

The captain didn't know whether to leave or stay, feeling a little awkward.

It was Gu Feng who came to the rescue: "Qiao'er, go ahead. I'll go back to the cabin to change the baby's diaper."

Qiao Yu kissed Gu Heng's little face: "Be good, daddy will change your diaper, don't cry."

The captain and Bai Ming looked at Gu Feng's back as he skillfully carried Gu Heng back, both of them in disbelief.

Gu Feng looks so fierce, but he is so skilled in taking care of children, and Qiao Yu so naturally handed the child to him throughout the whole process.

"Qiao Ge'er, your husband really loves you." Bai Ming sighed.

Qiao Yu nodded: "Yeah, I know."

Qiao Yu followed the captain to the big iron pot on the deck.

Just like the first time they went to the capital, the captain of this ship placed an iron barrel-like stove directly on the deck.

When the cook on the ship saw Qiao Yu, he looked very respectful and did not look down on him at all just because he was too young.

Bai Ming followed curiously. He was not a picky eater, but he was curious about the cooking skills of the chef that the captain had specially invited.

The cook had just poured some oil and was preparing to fry the fish head and fish fillets before stewing them.

Qiao Yu quickly asked: "Are you planning to put it on Douban?"

The cook nodded: "Yes."

Qiao Yu said hurriedly: "Then add some more oil, prepare the ginger, garlic and chili peppers, take the fish out after it's done, stir-fry the bean curd until it turns red, and then add water."

The cook obediently added some oil and fried the fish as Qiao Yu said, but he did not fish it out, but pushed it aside.

Then start frying the seasonings.

In an instant, a rich spicy aroma spread from the deck.

Bai Ming swallowed unconsciously.

Qiao Yu’s bean paste had not yet been sold to Qingfengzhai, and he had never smelled the aroma of fried bean paste.

As soon as the cook smelled the food, he knew that he had been doing it wrong.

"Boss Qiao, it turns out that this bean paste needs to be fried in oil."

Qiao Yu nodded: "Yes, you have to stir-fry until the oil turns red. You haven't stir-fried it before, right?"

The captain touched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "Hey, we just add it to the soup and it tastes pretty good."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, everyone will know it in the future. Doubanjiang is not so good for making soup, but it is best for stir-frying meat. You can try it next time. Any meat will do. Fish is also fine. Just add a little water and it will be braised fish."

The cook wrote them down one by one: "I've learned it. I'll fry meat for everyone next time."

Then the cook said to a crew member, "Go to the kitchen and bring the tofu vermicelli over and put them in the pot together."

The iron pot was very large, and the cook waited until the water boiled before pouring a bucket of chopped fish into it.

Then wait for the crew to bring the tofu vermicelli.

As a result, the crew only took vermicelli.

The cook asked, "Where's the tofu?"

The crew member looked embarrassed, as if he had thought of something disgusting: "The tofu has grown hair."

The cook slapped his head and said, "Oh, I kept thinking about eating it tomorrow, eating it tomorrow, and it's gone moldy. What a waste."

Although he felt sad, the cook still asked the crew to pour it into the water quickly, as it was not good to keep moldy things in the kitchen.

"Wait a moment!"

Qiao Yu yelled.

Everyone looked at him strangely.

Just as Gu Feng came out after changing Gu Heng's diaper, he saw everyone looking at Qiao Yu strangely, so he quickly walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yu chuckled and said, "It's okay, I just want to see what hairy tofu looks like."

The cook looked embarrassed, thinking that Qiao Yu was teasing him that even tofu could become moldy.

The captain immediately yelled to the crew, "What are you standing there for? Go get it."

The crew members' expressions were indescribable. Not only was the tofu hairy, it also smelled bad.

But he immediately ran to get it.

Then Qiao Yu saw a plate of hairy tofu with beautiful white hair.

The mold grew really well, wrapping the tofu into a furry ball. The mycelium was pure white, and Qiao Yu found it cute just looking at it.

Gu Feng had seen Aunt Shi's fermented bean curd, so he was not surprised and asked, "Qiao'er wants to use it to make fermented bean curd?"

Qiao Yu shook his head, turned around and asked the captain: "Are there any stoves and pots on the boat?"

The captain nodded: "Yes, yes. But the stove is a little small, so I use it to make tea."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, lend it to me. Do you have chili powder?"

The captain smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Song, go get it for Boss Qiao."

Qiao Yu happily cooked a special meal for herself using the captain's special meal.

When Gu Feng saw him heating up the oil, he quickly held the child and moved away from him to prevent the frying oil from splashing and injuring Gu Heng.

Qiao Yu was speechless. She didn't even look at how tall her husband was. She knew what a horrible thing he had to do to splash oil on Hengzi.

Gu Heng held the small bamboo bottle and sipped it, his big eyes full of curiosity.

Because it was the first time he saw Qiao Yu rolling her eyes at Gu Feng.

Bai Ming looked at the plate of tofu with white hair on it and said, "Brother Qiao, is this still edible?"

Qiao Yu nodded vigorously: "It's edible, the hair is not poisonous."

The cook on board heard this and said suspiciously, "But it smells a bit bad."

Qiao Yu asked him: "Have you ever tried my preserved eggs?"

"Yes, the boss took me to your Lingyun Villa to eat there. I even made green pepper and preserved egg when I came back. Everyone praised me for it."

The captain kept winking at the cook.

Idiot, if you say that, won't people know that I took you to learn from me? !

Qiao Yu laughed and said, "The villa is open to welcome everyone to taste it, it would be great if you like it.

This hairy tofu smells bad like preserved eggs, but tastes delicious.

Have you ever eaten fermented bean curd? It’s pretty much the same.”

The cook said somewhat embarrassedly: "I have eaten fermented tofu before, but what does it have to do with this moldy tofu?"

"If you have a clean jar on your ship, add chili powder, salt, and white wine to the raw tofu, seal it for half a month, and the raw tofu will become fermented tofu."
