Be a little landlord

"This... is this really made of soybeans?" Zhao Liniang pointed to the large piece of white and tender water tofu on the square table, and asked Lin Lixuan in disbelief. Brother Yan beside him was also doing the same, with his big eyes open. , looked at Lin Lixuan curiously, waiting for his answer.

They saw the beige soymilk congealed into white and tender lumpy tofu with their own eyes. The change in this moment was really amazing. How could they still use soybeans to make this thing?

Is it really edible?

"Of course you can eat it?" And it was delicious. Lin Lixuan took the lead to taste the freshly baked soft tofu, and put a small piece into his mouth with chopsticks. The white and tender tofu had a faint bean fragrance. The smooth and tender touch brings a great impact to the tongue. The beany smell is not heavy. Although the taste of the unprocessed white tofu is very light, it has a special fragrance and does not feel astringent in the mouth after eating. , but leaves a fresh sweetness.

The tofu made by myself is really delicious, and it tastes much more tender than that produced by modern machines.

The bean taste is also pure.

Due to inexperience and lack of tools, the tofu they worked hard for a long time is not good-looking, at least not as square as the modern tofu, the corners of the tofu are a bit crooked, and some tofu crumbs are scattered on the side. The overall shape of the tofu is not right, it can only be said to be a rectangle, because their board is not pressed properly - but at least the tofu is shaped.

Zhao Liniang and Brother Yan followed Lin Lixuan's movements in surprise and suspicion, and tasted the soft white tofu. This white tofu stimulated them even more, especially Brother Yan, who had never tasted such smooth tofu before. Tender stuff.The tofu is so soft that it is difficult to hold it. The moment I ate it in my mouth, Brother Yan thought it would melt like sugar—the tofu did not melt, and the soft and tender tofu could be clearly conveyed through the clumsy tongue. It is so delicious!

After eating the tofu, Brother Yan stretched out his red and tender tongue and licked the corner of his mouth impatiently. His pink lips instantly became tender and tender like white and tender tofu.

Zhao Liniang was also overwhelmed by the deliciousness of tofu.

After Lin Lixuan bought the stone mill yesterday, Zhao Liniang asked him what he used it for. Lin Lixuan replied that he was using it to make a kind of food called "tofu". things, but Lin Lixuan was her precious son, she would not blame her son even if she blamed herself.

Besides, as a mother, she trusts her son unconditionally. Xuan'er said that the tofu made can be sold in the county, which can make money. Needlework... Her son is also thinking of her, how can I blame him.

If making this "tofu" can really make money, wouldn't my Xuan'er be able to go back to the academy to study earlier?

That night, Lin Lixuan asked Zhao Liniang for a pot of soybeans, which he soaked in water for half the night. The next morning, he used a stone mill he just bought to grind the soft soybeans into raw soybean milk. The process of grinding the beans was very laborious. , is a job that requires extreme endurance. Pushing a heavy millstone to rotate in circles, if it is done by animal power, it is fine, but using human power can really make people's arms tired.

Lin Lixuan pushed the stone mill around a few times, and felt numb in his arms, tired in his elbow joints, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead. Seeing that he was tired from work, Brother Yan also came to help, but Brother Yan's strength They are not big, and their stamina is also insufficient. In the end, it was their family who took turns pushing the millstone to press the beans into raw soy milk, and all three of them were sweating.

The freshly squeezed raw soybean milk flows out along the slot, and is caught by a wooden basin. After receiving a basin of soybean milk, the wooden basin is brought into the kitchen to boil. The raw soybean milk is boiled and then placed. Layer of air bubbles, pour the prepared marinade, the off-white soybean milk slowly condenses into the shape of tofu flower, scoop the tofu flower into the wooden container covered with cloth, after filling, wrap the tofu flower with the cloth After about a quarter of an hour, white and tender water tofu will form.

After eating the juicy tofu, Zhao Liniang began to believe that it could really be sold in the county.

Her son is really smart, but she is still puzzled: "Xuan'er, how did you learn how to make tofu here?"

"Mom, do you still remember that I went to Lin County two years ago?"

Zhao Liniang choked on this answer. Of course she remembered that her son had only been to Lin County once, and it was to find a reason for the woman who broke the marriage contract. In the end, it turned out... This was the last memory she didn't want to recall.

"How could I not remember." Zhao Liniang's tone was a little stiff, she didn't understand why this matter had anything to do with the tofu recipe.

Lin Lixuan gave full play to his newly developed talent for writing novels, opened his eyes and told nonsense, and casually said that he met a foreign businessman traveling all over the country on the way to Lin County, and heard such a recipe for tofu from their chats. It is said that it is their local delicacy. The businessman's facial features are firm and firm, and his eye sockets are extremely deep. He doesn't look like a person from their country. He should be a person from a foreign land far away.

This tofu may be their way. Lin Lixuan saw that no one in Quanshui County sold this kind of thing, nor heard anyone say that he had eaten it, so he thought that the method of making tofu has not been spread yet, maybe their family can do it. Make some money by selling this.

"That's right...that's my son's luck..." Zhao Liniang was always worried about Lin Lixuan's going to Lin County, and didn't want to think about it again, so she didn't ask too many details.

They made a big pot of tofu, and there were a bunch of subsidiary products - bean dregs. They ate tofu mixed with shallots and fried bean dregs for lunch. Brother Yan was in charge. Ji Yan was born with good cooking skills. After coming to Lin's house , except for the first day, he is the one who cooks on other days.

When cooking tofu for the first time, Brother Yan was still a little panicked, for fear that he would ruin the sweet watery tofu. Lin Lixuan saw that Brother Yan was trembling and didn't know where to start, so he bossed around and gave instructions. He himself didn't know how to cook. Cooking, relying on the fact that he has never seen a pig run but has eaten pork, he tells Brother Yan to do this and that. Although Ji Yan doesn't quite understand the meaning expressed in Lin Lixuan's mouth, during this period of time, he and Lin Lixuan Getting along with each other also improved their tacit understanding, he followed Lin Lixuan's thinking in a daze, and finally started to do it...

Fortunately, brother Yan is a talented person. If someone else is to be replaced, there will be someone else pointing fingers at the side, and he might not know how to make the dishes...

The final tofu mixed with shallots is not bad.

Brother Yan was overjoyed when he ate the tofu he cooked. He ate half of the plate by himself, and his appetite was fully exposed. people dislike.I ate this smooth and tender tofu in the first bite, and the next bite was brown rice with teeth. The contrast between one hard and one soft, this is the first time that Brother Yan found that brown rice is really rough, and it is too difficult to compare with the tender tofu. Swallowed.

He silently lowered his head and picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, secretly spurning himself, some food is good, but he still dares to dislike him, he must have been infected by Big Brother Lin who wasted money to buy meat buns...

The taste of fried bean dregs is also good, although the essence of this fried bean dregs is to boil it with some salt. The bean dregs are not finely ground, the same size as fine gravel. In comparison, it can be regarded as a good thing to improve food.

After the meal, Lin Lixuan asked Brother Yan to drink a bowl of hot soy milk. Brother Yan gulped down the soy milk, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and hugged his stomach. He was really full... Ji Yan was a little afraid that his belly would burst, so he ran out of the yard for a few laps in a hurry, and pulled some weeds from the vegetable field. He felt that he was full of energy.

The two hens raised by Zhao Liniang also had a full meal today. There was no other way. There was more tofu and more bean dregs. The three of them couldn't finish it. When I earn money, I can buy a few chickens and ducks to raise. When they grow up, they can not only eat at home, but also sell them for money.

Tofu can't be stored for a long time. Their family lacks oil and salt, so they can't cook more soy products. They can only watch the tofu go bad. Facing the spoiled tofu, Lin Lixuan thought of the modern stinky tofu, but He doesn't have the skills to make stinky tofu, and the spoiled tofu smells really bad, so it's better to throw it away.

Zhao Liniang and Yan Geer felt that it was a pity to throw it away, and they couldn't help but regret: "I knew I should have done less..."

Lin Lixuan didn't expect that so much tofu and soy milk could be made from this small pot of soybeans.

Soybeans not only doubled in size after soaking in water overnight, but also doubled in weight when soaked in water. One catty of soybeans can finally produce about [-] catties of bean dregs and five catties of soy milk. Soy milk can be made into tofu with a size of [-] catties. Lin Lixuan didn't grasp the amount of soybeans for a while, and accidentally made too much tofu...

After the first day of experimentation, the tofu was delicious and delicious, which was appreciated by everyone in the Lin family. Their daily diet was all about tofu, and they never got tired of eating it.

Lin Lixuan decided to go to the city to sell tofu flower the next day. That's right, it was selling tofu flower instead of tofu. After all, everyone had never seen water tofu. If they sold it, no one would dare to sell it. They didn't know if they bought it. How to cook at home is not attractive at all.But the ready-to-eat tofu flower is different. If you take it out and shout it, there will always be people who are adventurous and will come to buy a bowl. After these people taste the delicious tofu, they will spread the word one by one. opened...
