Come on!Foodie!

Chapter 24 Self-production and self-marketing are difficult

Comrade Xiaoyang is a person who wants to do what he says.To be precise, he thought of it and wanted to try it.So he is very concerned about dried tofu and tofu.After all, the production of tofu is relatively simple, and the cost is also very low. Chinese cabbage can be sold for [-] cents a catty, and the cooked stewed tofu, pickled peppers and dried tofu can be sold at this price, right?

He knew that dried tofu and dried tofu are actually the same soy products as tofu.The initial production method is the same, but the final pressing method is different, and the moisture contained is different.But the theory clearly does not mean that it is not difficult to make. First, the tofu shop in the village only has tofu molds. Secondly, I have never ordered tofu, so if you want to try it, you have to try it.And there is no brine or gypsum itself.If you let go to Doufang to buy it, I don’t know if it’s okay.However, I have seen some tofu made with seawater in a program before, so why not go to the seaside and get a tank of seawater to test?

How to order tofu can be put aside first, this mold is especially important.But Xiao Yang is not worried about this.Wang Erbao is a carpenter, and Comrade Zhu Dazhuang also has a half-immortal body. As long as he makes it clear what he looks like, the two of them are guaranteed to complete the task.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Zhu Hai about the mold first.Only when the mold is ready can he proceed to the next step.

Sure enough, as Xiao Yang expected, after telling Zhu Hai what he wanted, Comrade Da Zhuang immediately patted his chest.Why don't you just make some molds with wood, it's simple!And he just did what he said, and made four molds in Wang Erbao's workshop the next morning.Xiaoyang looked at it, and it was smaller than ordinary tofu molds, but it was just right for making dried tofu and dried tofu.Not to mention that it can only be done at home now, and it will take up space when it gets bigger.

The brine was obtained by Wang Erbao and Zhao Zheng from the Doufang family. Xiaoyang took the bowl containing the brine carefully.This is poisonous!Don't look at only half a bowl, that's enough to order a lot of plate tofu!

Grinding a pot of soaked beans into soy milk is a laborious task. Comrade Zhu Hai, the main labor force in the family, naturally took on this arduous and glorious task.Seeing the white soy milk mixed with bean dregs flowing into the bucket, he smacked his lips, remembering the taste of that bean dregs cake yesterday.

Separate the soymilk from the bean dregs with a coarse cloth, and under the expectant eyes of Zhu Dazhuang's children's shoes, Xiao Yang finally nodded and said that the bean dregs can be half human and half pig.Although he felt that the pigs were stealing food from him, Da Zhuang children's shoes were still very satisfied.

Put a bucket of soy milk into the pot to boil, then quickly pour it back into the bucket.Xiao Yang picked up a wooden spoon, dipped a little bit of brine into the soybean milk, and then quickly stirred it with a large spoon.After waiting for more than ten seconds, he found that the soy milk hadn't changed much, so Xiaoyang had to add it again.This time it was a little more than before. Sure enough, the soy milk began to form flocs and clumps after a while.Finally, it becomes a uniform paste.Xiao Yang was dumbfounded.Unexpectedly, the first time I ordered tofu, I ordered such a successful tofu nao!Is this the privilege of a foodie?

Excitedly, he scooped out a large bowl of tofu nao, and hurriedly called Zhu Hai and Wang Erbao to try it.After thinking about it, no one would like tasteless tofu nao, right?So I poured some soy sauce on the tofu nao, sprinkled some chili noodles, and then handed it to two foodies who were about to lose their temper.

It is said that the taste of tofu nao is quite smooth, and there is a unique sweetness of beans.This gave Xiaoyang greater confidence in making dried tofu.

Put the cleaned coarse cloth on the bottom layer of the mold, and then scoop the tofu brains onto the mold to a thickness of about six or seven centimeters while it is hot, then spread another coarse cloth, and put another layer.Because the height of the model is not high, only three layers can be placed in this way.So the tofu brain that was ordered was nearly a bucket full of four molds, and there was still a bowl left.Of course, Xiao Yang kept this bowl for himself.Of those two foodies, one is embarrassed to grab it, and the other is reluctant to grab it...

Naturally, Xiaoyang didn't need to do the work of pressing and forming.Moreover, they don't have as many tools as Doufang, so they can only use big stones to press them. If there are not enough stones in the yard, they just fill buckets with water and press them.

After these things were done, the three of them started to eat lunch.As for what lunch is, it goes without saying, bean dregs cake!

After about an hour and a half, Xiao Yang decided to open a mold to have a look.As a result, although the finished product was much harder than tofu, it was still worse than his ideal dried tofu.He has to be marinated in marinade without breaking.But there's no need to take it back and press it, let's fry it with the garlic sprouts I planted a while ago at night.It's been a long time since I ate fried tofu.The remaining half can be salted and eaten raw.

In fact, even before he was salted, two people couldn't help but start their hands on this "defective" tofu.Xiaoyang had no choice but to cut a plate, and made another plate of salt and pepper for the two foodies to squat on the side. After waiting for less than half an hour, Xiaoyang couldn't bear to open another mold.This time the feeling was much better than last time.I cut a small piece and put it in my mouth. Well, the texture is fine and slightly airy, which is just right for marinating.So he hurriedly asked Zhu Hai to help open the other two molds, and if he pressed it down, it wouldn't taste good.

Xiaoyang has his own ratio for the marinade, and he is quite confident in the taste.Especially the marinade was marinated last night with duck feet and chicken feet, so it already contains enough meat flavor, and after cooling, the marinade will become frozen, which will also make the taste of dried tofu better and more It's delicious.This time he also put some dried chilies in. In winter, people always like to eat things with a thicker taste.

Cut the dried tofu into small cubes of one inch square, throw more than half of it into the marinade, and put four boiled eggs in it by the way.It doesn't need to be cooked for too long, after all, it is the essence of tofu, so after the marinade was boiled, Xiaoyang only cooked for about 10 minutes.If you want to fully enjoy the taste, you have to soak in it for several hours.Tomorrow is a good time to eat braised tofu!

He put the other half of the dried tofu into the jar where he picked chicken feet with pickled peppers yesterday.He still prefers pickled peppers to dried tofu!But there is only the last jar of pickled peppers left.Looks like we'll have to do more next year.And it must be a variety of peppers.The ones on the mountain only have skins, and the yield is not high, but the taste is strong enough.It's a pity that my own pepper seeds are only five bags of two kinds together, and I can't even plant the small piece of land in my backyard.I don't know if it can be hybridized, but I am not familiar with this!Alas, the days of self-production and self-marketing are still far away, and it is indeed difficult!

The next day, Xiao Yang divided the finished stewed tofu and pickled pepper tofu into thirds, one more and two less.Naturally, the extra share was brought to the city to let Niu Daqian try to sell it.Of the two less, one was kept for himself, and the other was sent to Niu Dahu's house by Zhu Hai.After all, to rely on Niu Daqian to do business, this favor must be gone.As for Comrade Wang Erbao, what he got was ten soaked chicken feet as a gift.Ten braised duck feet.This made him beautiful for a long time.It also made Comrade Zhu Dazhuang depressed for a long time.Why doesn't my little lamb always forget to give Wang Erbao a share! !

Please despise the big strong children's shoes to your heart's content!He has already forgotten which brother answered his doubts for him when he was struggling!

Load the two jars of spicy cabbage and two kinds of dried beans that I kept into the car.Wang Erbao tactfully went home and gnawed on his paws.So it was still Zhu Dazhuang's children's shoes who drove the car, which made Xiao Yang feel a lot more relaxed.It's not that he hates Wang Erbao, but that Wang Erbao has been teasing himself more and more frequently recently. Apart from eating to block his mouth, the cleanest way is to avoid it!

The two chatted while walking on the donkey cart. When it came to making this dried tofu, Zhu Hai frowned: "Xiaoyang, it's not that I won't let you make it. But look, we've been busy for a whole day with such a small amount of cooking. It takes a long time to get blisters. Is there another way?"

Xiaoyang also thinks that if this dried tofu can be bought well.It's too slow to do it by yourself. Now I still have Wang Erbao's help, but it's not that easy to make a sale.Only myself and Zhu Hai can't do it.In winter, you can make do with it, but if it comes to the busy season of farming, you have to be caught blind.So he also sighed: "That's right. If it can be sold, it's really a problem to make it. It's too troublesome to grind and cook some tofu and suppress it."

Yeah yeah!It hurts to see you so tired!Of course, this is Comrade Zhu Hai's inner subtext, and the little lamb will never hear it. "Otherwise, do you think it's okay to sell this method to Doufang?"

Xiao Yang turned his face to look at Zhu Hai, frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "The production method is the same as that of tofu, and it's a little too expensive."

Zhu Haidao: "The method of making money can naturally be sold."

Xiao Yang still shook his head: "I still feel bad. I've always been an outsider. If I sell this, I will be stabbed in the back in the future. I still want to take root in our village. But it is true that letting them do it is much faster. Much more convenient."

Hearing Xiaoyang say that he wants to take root in Niuzhuang, Comrade Da Zhuang is so beautiful!Therefore, as soon as Fu Zhixin's eyes rolled, he immediately thought of another method: "Otherwise, let's try to see if we can sell it well. If it works, we will hand over the method to the old Zhao's family, but we have to sign a contract with them." The deed. We don’t care how much tofu he sells in the future, but we must buy them at the original price, and we have to get the goods first. What do you think?” Zhu Hai still sees business opportunities very accurately.He knows the tastes of the people here better than Xiaoyang, so the word "if it works" does not exist for him.

Hearing what Zhu Hai said, Xiao Yang immediately nodded and agreed: "This method is good! It saves money, materials and time. From now on, you only need to make finished products! Brother Zhu, you really are the most suitable for business. Brother Niu did not praise the wrong person at all!"

What's the use of Big Brother Niu boasting!The compliments from my own wife (the future one, whose horoscope is not half written) are the most important!
