Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

The purpose of boiling soy milk is to sterilize it. Shi Anan skims off the foam while boiling. After boiling, the soy milk no longer has the strong bean smell when it is just ground. Instead, it becomes somewhat fragrant. Ruan obviously likes this taste very much.

"An An, can we drink this soy milk directly?" Ruan asked as she looked at the soy milk boiling in the pot.

Shi Anan looked at her and said with a smile, "Of course you can drink it. I'll leave a bowl for you. Just add some sugar."

Ruan nodded repeatedly.

Shi Anan put the cooked soy milk aside and waited for it to cool down. At the same time, she also scooped out a bowl and put some sugar in it for Ruan to drink.

"Auntie Ruan, please be careful of the heat." Shi Anan handed the soy milk to Auntie Ruan.

Ruan took it, blew on the edge of the bowl, then carefully took a sip, and her eyes lit up immediately: "This tastes good!"

Of course the soy milk you grind yourself tastes better!

"This soy milk would taste even better if it were paired with fried dough sticks." Speaking of fried dough sticks, I haven't eaten them for a long time. Next time I can teach Ruyi how to fry them.

"Dough sticks? What are those? They use a lot of oil, right?" Ruan asked while sipping soy milk.

"Well, it's fried noodles, which use more oil, but it's okay for us to eat some of it ourselves. I'll make it for you to try when I have time some other day."

Ruan nodded and sighed, "This soy milk is delicious, but it's too hot to drink now. It should be better to drink it in winter."

Shi Anan burst out laughing, and looking at Ruan wiping her sweat while drinking, she said, "Aunt Ruan, if you are not in such a hurry, you can put the soy milk on ice to cool it down. Iced soy milk is also delicious."

She also didn't expect that Ruan drank the soy milk while it was still hot, without waiting for it to cool down. How could it not be hot to drink hot soy milk in such hot weather?

"Look at me, I'm so stupid." Ruan wanted to laugh at what she had done. She had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but she couldn't control herself with a bowl of soy milk.

The two chatted while waiting for the soy milk to cool down. When they saw that the temperature was about right, Shi Anan prepared to start ordering tofu.

Before ordering tofu, pick up the skin on the surface of the cooled soy milk. In fact, this layer of skin is what we usually eat when it is dried.

But this time I’m mainly making tofu. If you want to eat yuba, you can make it later.

She first divided the soy milk into two portions, one with brine and the other with gypsum, and prepared to let everyone taste it.

"An An, what is this? Can we make tofu with this?" Ruan was still helping out on the side. When she saw An An taking out brine and gypsum, she asked curiously.

"These are brine and gypsum, both are coagulants used in making tofu. There is a slight difference in the tofu made from the two. I want you to try them and see which one you like better." Shi Anan said without stopping her hands.

First, make gypsum tofu. She dissolves gypsum powder in water and pours it into soy milk in small amounts several times, stirring it until the soy milk slowly becomes cotton-like, and then lets it sit for a while.

The same steps are followed for making the braised tofu.

When the soy milk began to solidify, Ruan had already widened her eyes slightly, as if she couldn't understand why this happened.

After the soy milk has been set aside, drain the water on the surface and pour the solidified tofu pudding into a special template for making tofu. Press a stone on it and wait for it to slowly take shape.

At this point the tofu is basically ready, but if you want to take it out, you have to press it again. If you like it to be more tender, press it for a little less time, and if you like it to be older, press it for a little longer.

Ruan watched the whole process. Although she didn't know why the soy milk solidified, and what the gypsum and brine that Shi Anan took out were, it was not difficult to remember the steps: "It doesn't seem difficult at all."

Shi Anan said to Ruan: "It looks simple to make tofu, but it requires a certain amount of experience to make it smooth and delicious. For example, the amount of coagulant and the pressing time will affect the taste of the tofu."

"This is also the first time I've made something myself, so I don't know what the finished product will look like."

Although Shi Anan knew the theory of making tofu, she had never made it herself. When she added the coagulant just now, she just followed her feeling. She was also a little nervous about what the final tofu would look like.

Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. After the tofu was pressed, Shi Anan took out the tofu that had turned into blocks. It was smooth and delicate, and there was no strong bean smell. It seemed that her technique was quite good!

The moment Shi Anan took out the tofu, the system's prompt sound came in time. The complete guide to making soy products is a good thing!

Shi Anan took it out and looked through it. Not only the previously mentioned yuba cooking methods were there, but also bean curd skin, various special dried tofu, and even moldy tofu.

These products are enough for her to set up a soy product processing plant. By then, the food ingredients in Guangming Village will become more and more abundant, and they will be unique in this place.

Although we haven’t found a place to communicate and do business yet, the world is so big and there will always be opportunities. These soy products can be considered the specialty of their Guangming Village!

After making the tofu, Shi Anan happily said to Ruan: "Let's eat tofu tonight. I'll go to the cafeteria to teach Ruyi how to make it."

Ruan nodded, expressing her anticipation for the tofu dish.

And it was also tonight that the people in their survival team learned that soybeans can be made into something as delicious as tofu.

After tasting it, Ruan said on the spot: "An An, have you ever considered opening a tofu-making workshop? How about I go there and make it?"

Shi Anan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that making tofu with Ruan once would make her think of opening a tofu workshop: "Aunt Ruan, aren't you managing the soap factory with my mother?"

Liu interrupted and said, "Our small soap factory doesn't need two managers. It's on the right track now. One is enough. Your aunt Ruan doesn't really like making soap. She was just helping me before."

"Now she has finally found something she is interested in. If you want to open a tofu workshop, please give priority to your Aunt Ruan."

"Okay, I understand. I do have plans to open a tofu workshop, but it's not just about making tofu, there are many other soy products, so it's not easy. Aunt Ruan, can you do it?" Shi Anan looked at Ruan and said.

Ruan nodded firmly: "Okay."

Compared to making soap, she prefers making tofu, and naturally she is not opposed to making other soy products.

Although they have plans to set up a factory, the tofu workshop will not be completed until after this wave of high temperatures has passed. So for now they can only make a little when they want to eat it, and they can't supply it in large quantities.

However, future tofu workshop employees can already be selected in advance for training.
